The (newest ?) baker has a diffident, heavy hand. Globs of smeared sugar icing across the tops of danish render them unappealing. Possibly Chester's biggest draw? Their famed cinnamon buns. Now shrunk in size to almost a third of their former glory. And what's with the tasteless bits of chopped nuts? I'm a home baker. A former chef. This cannot last.... I was reluctant to write this review. When we first moved here from Philly, after my lifelong favorite childhood bakery in OC closed, Chester's was my go to place for cinnamon buns. Was.....

I stopped at the Starbucks kiosk inside the Target in Somers Point expecting it might be a quiet,…read moreconvenient spot on my way to work. The store itself was empty, and I was able to walk right up to the counter and order without any wait. I ordered a double shot of espresso and a hot white chocolate mocha. While my drinks were being made, I noticed the employee preparing my espresso was distracted and chatting with a Target store associate. What concerned me was watching him rinse out a disposable paper cup with water and then pour my espresso into that same cup. When I got my espresso, I took the lid off and could see water droplets all around the inside of the cup, mixing with the espresso. It immediately made the drink feel diluted and, honestly, just not made the way a customer should receive it. The register employee was polite and did a great job taking my order, and I left a small tip. After that, I calmly asked the employee who made the drink (Edwin) why he rinsed out the paper cup with water instead of using a fresh cup. He told me he had accidentally made a triple shot, dumped it, and then made the correct double shot, and he offered to remake it. I appreciated the offer, but I declined and simply said I would have preferred a fresh cup instead of washing one out. I thanked them and started to leave. As I was walking out, after they thought I was out of earshot, I heard Edwin call me a "dickhead." I stopped for a moment because I genuinely couldn't believe I heard that in a customer-facing setting. At that point I chose not to escalate it further and just left. Overall, this was a disappointing experience. Mistakes happen, and I'm not upset that an order needed to be corrected; but rinsing and reusing a disposable cup for a customer's drink isn't what I expect from Starbucks standards, and the disrespect afterward was unprofessional and unnecessary. The cashier handled things well, but based on this visit, I wouldn't go out of my way to come back to this location.

We arrived just after opening and found seating very easily. Between 9 and 10:30 the inside started really filling up with folks, so if you're an early riser, stop in early. The staff was so friendly. We were seated in the back on the first floor at what appeared to be an old sewing machine table. The inside was clean and had a country vibe. Menu wise they have a ton of coffee options. Flavored lattes out the yin-yang including their Boardwalk latte series that has shore inspired flavors. I had the Cuban - Cuban roast, muddled sugar and steamed milk. It was flipping delicious!!! The breakfast menu had choices for all palates. My wife had an omelet, my mother a stack of pancakes with strawberries and our friends raved about the pumpkin patch French toast and veggie omelet. I had two over-easy eggs with rye toasted and pork roll. I know my choice was a safe pick, but I was happy with the comfort of the basics! Everyone devoured their food and left happy and full. The prices weren't terrible and the portions were large. I can't say a bad thing about our visit to Jon & Patty's. Thanks guys!!

Ice cream is ( spell check ) Bassett's , some of the best in the USA and oldest in Phila ! You know…read moreits real when it's cold and this is as cold as Hilary Clinton was to Bill after his stint with Monica lol ! Its cold dammit. ! The service is 5 star, supper nice kids , owner seen on premise working hard, everyone is friendly and they come out from the counter and hand you your ice cream ( nice touch ) in fact if you stand on the side while eating your ice cream you may get handed some more lol ( just kidding) but we did try lol ! The build is nostalgic and very cozy, it is a little clumsy as far as logistics and execution because while your in line you cant see the flavors avaible because the line blocks the names on the glass. While I know the place has a certain feel not common in the larger places, it may be beneficial to at least post a chauk board list of the flavors and services so you accomplish providing information and improving the speed of the selection process. Also visible are the incredible cookies that I think they make the ice cream sandwiches out of as one of the options. If your on weight watchers , this place is worth cheating just walk there, and walk home even if you live in Phila because it worth it ! If you expect tourist type of food, summer " sell you once and done type ice cream" you will be pleasantly surprised of the quality, the feel and the overall experience ! Its worth the hunt, parking is ample and plan to be rewarded with great ice cream . I have not done the coffie and Am servace but plan on doing so , the reviews are too good to pass up !

I was treated to my first meal here by a dear friend. I ordered the cappuccino and blueberry compote Brie grilled cheese. These were delicious. My friend had a breve which I understand is an espresso with cream. These were both so good no sweeteners of any kind were needed. It can be loud so conversations are hard to have and tables are quite close together so do keep that in mind for your visits. Until the next time! And going to try their tea shop next.

Even though I feel like juice is a silly breakfast, I agreed and we drove in to town. Inside, the place is spotless. I know it is new but they d a really good job of keeping the place clean. I have actually never seen it all that crowded and I wonder if it is the location or healthy nature of their fare that keeps people away. I got a vegan granola bar and "Kooler" cold pressed juice. Both were really good and the juice came in a jar that can be returned for a discount on a future purchase. The granola bar was different but tasty. It was very crumbly so don't expect to eat it while walking or driving. My girlfriend got a "Red" bowl that was big and seemed to be very filling. The food is somewhat pricey but you definitely get large portion sizes (of the food at least). Hopefully, I will return. I am torn on whether I like having these new, upscale businesses in Ocean City. I certainly like having an upscale small business right in the heart of town, but I have a feeling that bougie places like this are a sign that rising price are here to stay in OC. If you are a local, give this place a try! They also have great coffee.
