We were exploring the area and discovered this place. There's street parking and pay-per-parking…read morelots nearby so nothing dedicated but it is in a relatively high pedestrian traffic area. It was larger than I expected and a little overwhelming. There seemed to be only one person working on Labor Day (or that was the case when we were there in the afternoon) and two cash registers. The one on the right appeared to be for drinks and ice cream, the one straight ahead for donuts. She was always helping out people with ice cream and we headed towards the back where there was a substantial display of donuts. They have plenty of tables and chairs plus outdoor seating so good for parties of all sizes. They do have gluten free and vegan donuts, but their donuts are NOT both vegan and gluten free which meant one of my kids could not partake. There is A LOT to choose from but we ended up getting: CRUMBLE ME APPLE: light and not too sweet. The crumble gave a nice textural contrast, the donut was good, and it was filled with a tart apple filling that I thought really made it delicious. There was also a sticky caramel (?) drizzle but it was very light and melded with everything else. Excellent donut choice. CINNAMON & SUGAR KRONUT: I asked for recommendations because I couldn't decide and the girl recommended a kronut. I've had my share of cronuts/kronuts (croissant donuts) but am always open to trying more variations. This donut was large, light, and had decent lamination. I didn't find it too greasy, sweet, or heavy and I actually really enjoyed it! ARE YOU CEREAL?: my daughter picked this. She really liked it and said it was "amazing". I didn't taste it but it definitely looks sweeter than the ones I chose for the adults. At least she likes it? Donuts were $4.75 each so it adds up fast, but the ones I tasted were quite good! They have restrooms in the back but you need to request a key to access them. You have to be a customer. They were out of toilet paper and paper towels but they do have a hand dryer. The only downside is they aren't very clean. Tables looked okay though it was highly dependent on the table, but floors were sticky. Not sure if we came at the wrong time or they were just understaffed. The girl working at the time was really nice and sweet so no issues with service itself. Overall, a great place to get donuts that taste good and aren't too sweet (depending on what you get). I'm glad we came across this place!

Was in Keansburg today and wanted rolls for our lunch. So I stopped in to the Dixie Lee bakery…read more Always remembered their great products from my time in the burg. I ordered two hard rolls . They looked great. Got home and just now was going to make lunch with them. I have to say so disappointed. I asked for two "hard" rolls and boy did I get them. They were more like day old hard rolls . Instead of being crispy they were rotted it seemed. Completely fell apart, crumbled at touch . No crunch or crispiness and my fingers pushed thru the outside surfaces like going into cardboard. Crumbled and felt so stale under these circumstances had to be at the minimum day old left out dried up rolls. I had heard they went down a bit down the "old" Dixie Lee, but this was embarrassing. Sorry David Burke, I expected so much more from you... I learned my lesson today.. off to J&M where I should have gone to begin with. And it's a shame. 3 yrs ago I was a fan. Not any more...

They also made Mickey Mouse pancakes for my daughter, and she was absolutely obsessed -- such a sweet touch and totally made her day. Westwood is a must. We'll absolutely be back.

June 6 was my birthday, and after celebrating the night before at a lovely restaurant in the city,…read moreI found myself with no plans on my actual birthday. I decided I wanted to treat myself to a little cake. I usually visit a local bakery for cakes, mini desserts, and cannolis. It's generally pretty good, although it can be a bit hit or miss depending on what you order. While searching online for bakeries nearby, this place came up with stellar reviews. I was surprised to see it was only about an 11-minute drive from my house, so I decided to make the trip. The bakery was set up much like a classic neighborhood bakery, with beautiful cakes displayed along one side and cases filled with mini desserts, pastries, cookies, and cannolis. While chatting with the staff, I mentioned the bakery I usually go to. That's when they told me that bakery actually gets its cakes from Normandie. I found that fascinating because I had always assumed every bakery made its own cakes from scratch. Suddenly, a lot made sense. I had originally planned on buying a small birthday cake, but since it was only for two people, I decided to put together an assortment of mini desserts instead. I picked up tiramisu, carrot cake, lemon cake, and several other mini cakes. Every single one was outstanding. Not one dessert missed the mark. The carrot cake was moist, the tiramisu was perfectly balanced, and the lemon cake was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, high-quality, and thoughtfully made. The minis were slightly smaller than the ones I'm used to buying elsewhere, but honestly, they were the perfect size. Now that I know where those cakes are actually coming from, I'll happily make the extra 11-minute drive and buy directly from the source. This will absolutely be my new go-to bakery for birthdays, special occasions, and hostess gifts. A wonderful birthday discovery that turned into finding my new favorite bakery.

More good: my cafe latte was good. I like that they had chocolate/cinnamon powder as an item to sprinkle on your drink if you want to. I enjoyed the tiny pastry (maybe it was the pastel de nata). The restaurant seemed super clean and pleasant sound level. The not so good: the Hash Brown Bread with Ham & Cheese. They said they warmed it for me but there was zero detection of warmth (meh, I didn't ask again). I didn't care for the ketchup flavored drizzle on top of it too (made it look nice but too sweet and just didn't add to the item imo). There wasn't really a "crisp" to the hash brown part. Would visit again, wouldn't get that savory hash brown pastry though.

Today when I returned under the new ownership they tasted artificial and ordinary. Not even a close second to Entenmann's.

Perhaps their other offerings are better...hope so!

I ordered the blue raspberry lemonade, and it was the perfect combo -- not too sweet and not too tart. Such a delightful mix. Whenever I'm in town, I have to grab some kind of pork roll sandwich. This time I went with the Double Nooker on an everything bagel, toasted and scooped with SPK (salt, pepper, and ketchup). Yum, yum, yum. There's a lot of food packed in there, but having the bagel scooped made it the perfect amount -- super satisfying without feeling overly stuffed or risking a tummy ache. The spot itself is open concept and has tons of space if you want to sit and eat there, which makes it great whether you're grabbing something to go or staying to enjoy your meal.

The building itself looks almost like an old diner--long and brightly colored. Inside is more of the same. There are a couple of round tables with diner-esque stools and a few chairs randomly placed in the center of the seating area. All of it contributes to a kind of endearing quality of the place. I was greeted with a friendly smile by who I believe is the owner. I opted for a small coffee and a biscotti, as I wanted something that wasn't too sweet. The coffee is self-serve, which I'm not a huge fan of as sometimes they aren't as fresh, but management seems to take care of this. My orange almond biscotti, while I was happy to be able to taste the hints of orange, was stale. Prices were fair, as my coffee and the biscotti were each $2. It's a bit chilly in the cafe and a little loud with the music but I was still able to get some work done. If it were a bit closer to home, I think I would frequent this cafe a little more, but I wish the owner all the success!
