Turning Point in Holmdel was hands down the perfect choice for breakfast. We lucked out with a…read morebeautiful morning, so we grabbed a table on the outdoor patio and enjoyed the sunshine. We arrived early and had no problem finding a seat, but this place gets busy fast. If you're planning a later visit, I definitely recommend joining the waitlist ahead of time. Turning Point has earned a loyal following throughout New Jersey for its fresh, made-from-scratch breakfast and brunch menu, quality ingredients, and excellent coffee selection. It's easy to see why it's become a favorite destination for breakfast lovers. We kicked off our meal with mimosas (yes, it's BYOB, so bring your favorite bottle of champagne!). As a coffee fanatic, I couldn't pass up their Hawaiian Kona Blend French Press coffee. Ever since my first trip to Hawaii, Kona has been my favorite coffee, and Turning Point does it right. Each pot is ground to order, brewed with purified water, and brought to your table to finish steeping. When you're ready, you slowly press the stainless steel filter, releasing the rich flavors, aromatic oils, and smooth crema. Every sip is bold, incredibly smooth, and packed with flavor. If you're a coffee lover, this is an absolute must. For breakfast, we ordered: Breakfast Combo - Two slices of thick-cut French toast, two eggs over easy, and a side of their refreshing citrus-dressed mixed greens. The French toast was light, fluffy, and perfectly golden, making for a classic breakfast done exceptionally well. Nantucket Benedict - A toasted English muffin topped with generous chunks of cracked lobster, plum potatoes, thick-cut smoked bacon, fresh avocado slices, and finished with a bright lemon-cilantro hollandaise sauce. It was an incredible combination of flavors that balanced richness with freshness in every bite. Everything that came to the table was absolutely mouthwatering. Honestly, the photos don't do these dishes justice--you have to experience them for yourself. A special shoutout to our server, Adam, who was outstanding. He was friendly, attentive, and constantly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. From the delicious food and exceptional coffee to the outstanding service and relaxing outdoor seating, Turning Point in Holmdel delivered an outstanding breakfast experience. If you're looking for one of the best breakfast and brunch spots in the area, this one should absolutely be on your list.

Great breakfast/ brunch chain! I've been to a few different locations before (Little Silver), but…read moreit was my first time dining here. The weather was gorgeous so we were able to sit outside, and luckily we got seated right away even without a reservation. My husband and I usually go the route of splitting the breakfast combo, so we get a sweet and savory item (and the bill is lower than if we each got our own entrees). We got the breakfast combo and just added a side of sourdough toast and avocado. Only $2 charge for the avocado side which was nice! Everything was decent, but I've definitely had better brunch in the area, which is why it's 4 stars instead of 5.

While it's a little pricey, the high quality, beautiful presentation, and fantastic flavors make it well worth the spend. Highly recommend!

A good grab and go spot but still nice for small groups of 4, max 6 since there is limited seating overall. Ordered our meal at the register and picked the blueberry lemon scone to sink our teeth into while we waited. The scone was delicious! Divine in texture and sized to share. The lavender matcha was top tier and freshly ground. A quiet enough atmosphere to chat for a few hours and the servers don't bother you if you're just sitting enjoying your coffee and watching a show on the nearby sofa. The caprese pesto mayo sandwich with grilled chicken was so yummy. The sour dough bread was crunchy and the chicken was juicy and the egg platter (egg style your choice) with its potatoes was perfect. Highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again.

On Mother's Day Sunday, there were several groups waiting outside to be seated, so my boyfriend and I were concerned about the wait. Fortunately, they took our name and number down and ~10 minutes later, I received a text and we were seated! The inside is cutely decorated and nice and bright! The menu has many options and there was even a Mother's Day specials menu. We got the avocado toast and chicken sandwich with turkey bacon on the side and sweet potato fries substituted for normal fries. The food came out relatively quickly and everything looked delicious! The bread of the avocado toast was very thick and I could tell that fresh avocado was used and smashed for the toast! I do wish that the bread itself was toasted more and maybe with butter, but it was still delicious! The side salad was also refreshing but could use some dressing. Overall, I was happy with my avocado toast! My boyfriend enjoyed his chicken sandwich and noted that the chicken was juicy and the fries were good as well. We enjoyed our experience and would definitely come back! We noticed that a nearby mom received a complimentary compact mirror from the staff in celebration of mother's day which was cute.

That said, I'm disappointed with the way the shop is being managed. I'm not sure if the gentleman I encountered was the manager or the owner, but I've been there twice now and both times there were issues with overcharging. The first time, I noticed it but chose not to say anything. This past weekend, another customer spoke up after being charged for more bagels than he actually ordered and received. The gentleman handling the situation was extremely rude, and when it was proven they were wrong, he simply threw the money back onto the counter. It was very unprofessional and uncomfortable to witness. Please continue making your bagels the way you do because they're excellent, but customer service and professionalism matter too. There are plenty of bagel shops around, and people want to feel respected when they walk into a business.

I mean, who would go to an Italian market to ask for something other than premium Italian cuisine & delicacies am I right? Well apparently my black ass because the cute blond Caucasian girl behind the counter thought it was wise to ask me completely randomly "Ummm sirrr did you order the fried chicken & grilled chicken"??? SWEAR I'm not lying and you can't make that up. I ordered probably one of the most Jersey White Italian dude sandwiches of all time with sliced Mozzarella on it . Why you asking me if I ordered fried chicken at an Italian Market?! Was it because I was the only brother in there? Lmfao it's honestly just more funny than insulting just wanted to share this experience. The sandwich was pretty decent however. They told me they make their roast beef in house which was nice. I'd possibly return to try something else. Just cool it with the stubble context racism & teach proper customer service educate to the youth in there. Classic European market vibes that was nice I'd say.
