I also ordered a bunch of pastries to take to relative's and those were a bit underwhelming as well. I will most likely opt to try someplace else next time we visit. There is nothing wrong with this place so if you are cruising by and need that caffeine (or snack hit), by all means, stop in! Parking: Small private lot in strip mall type building.

Cute little coffee shop with very friendly and helpful staff…read more They have a small display of some cookies, cakes and muffins and some hot breakfast sandwiches. They have a great selection of seasonal beverages. We tried the iced cinnamon vanilla shaken espresso and the iced chai with house made pumpkin seasoning. Both drinks were made dairy free by request and were not overly sweet, like some other places. Prices were very reasonable too. Glad we found a coffee shop in Manahawkin.

Met up with a friend at this coffee shop. It was a rainy day, so it was nice to take shelter here…read more The ambiance was fun - lots of decor for the Valentine's Day holiday. The lattes were very extravagant. My friend opted for a marshmallow latte, and I opted for a horchata latte. I was a little jealous of her toasty marshmallow at the top, but thankfully the servers gave me a toasty marshmallow too at my request :) There is ample seating on the inside. At the time, I was gluten intolerant and there really weren't any food options for me to choose from. I was quite disappointed at that and went home super hungry. The drinks were fun, but a little to sweet for my liking and the coffee in it wasn't super great. If I come here again, I'd ask for a little less sweetener added to my latte. I hope there are more gluten free options in the future and that the lattes aren't too overly sweet in the future too.

We had two seasonal drinks: one was the date infused syrup added to a hot chai made with almond milk and an iced coffee with black sesame syrup. Both were really good- the actual flavors described didn't stand out too much. I wish they were a little more pronounced. We shared a panini that had turkey, apple, and bacon, with drizzled honey )they were able to hold the cheddar). The sandwich was enough for us to share and was served with potato chips.

Most importantly, the beer is solid. I failed to get a full headcount but there must have been about twenty on tap when we visited on a Sunday afternoon in May.

If we didn't live over an hour away we would come a lot more regularly, but for now we bought a few beers to bring home and look forward to tucking into them this summer.

These weren't the greatest donuts or coffee I've ever had, but what really tipped the scales for me…read morewas the price and most importantly customer service. I wandered in here on the 4th of July probably around 7am-ish after misreading Google Maps and taking an ill-advised walk from our Airbnb down a solid chunk of Route 9. (There was a pedestrian path on the other side of the road that looked very peaceful in comparison and I just didn't feel like crossing the highway to get on it - 100% on me). As soon as I saw the crowded parking lot, I knew this was probably the only mom and pop game in town - there's a Dunkin nearby at least - and that this was a locals place through and through. The interior is small, and it felt probably even smaller because it was packed with locals, all of whom were super nice to me. The door was held for me both going in and out, and milk was offered/handed to me for my coffee by a fellow customer. Any mild issues I had in moving around the room were negated by the hospitality. The back wall of the room and side counters are dominated by pastries, and there's a coffee station to the left of the entrance that's similar to what you'd find at a gas station convenience store - low maintenance for sure but gets the job done. The display of donuts behind the register caught my eye before anything else, so I opted for two of those - chocolate frosted and strawberry frosted. There were a few edgier flavors including a 4th of July themed blue one but I don't typically mess around with the classics. They were pretty tasty - decent size for sure, maybe a little cakier than I typically prefer, but the dough was on the airy side and I liked that they didn't skimp on the frosting. I grabbed an additional coffee for one of my top-tier chums (two of whom came to rescue me from a return walk down Route 9), and the total - two coffees and two donuts - came to a little over $5. We were all delightfully flabbergasted. That typically gets you maybe a caffeinated beverage closer to the city. Worth a stop for sure if you're in the area. In the low-key land of strip malls between Seaside and AC, I'd much rather go to a little standalone shop like this, as would my wallet.
