This starts off dark but it ends with bagels and joy, trust me!…read more We had been at Jersey Shore Med Center all week as our mother transitioned, finally, at 4am on Christmas Eve. When hospice staff finally ushers us out of her room at 6:20 we are left to collect our hearts and heads and move forward. Mom loved the beach and the sun will be rising soon. But we are short on sleep and need comfort in this time. What says comfort at 6:30 in the morning better than the staff and bagels at Hole in One? We piled in the car to grab our favs and then ate breakfast peacefully on the beach in Ocean Grove as the sun rose. We reflected on life and death and family... And the joy of a soft, toasty bagel. I also had a Red Bull which may or may not seem insane lol If it was any other bagel shop we may not have gone there that morning (there are closer shops to the beach than this one!). I mean who goes straight for bereavement bagels at dawn after 3 hours of sleep? Well the staff at Hole in One are always so great and friendly. And the bagels are possibly the best you can get between Red Bank and Neptune. And their sandwiches? Delicious. That little danish/turnover type of pastry thing that was kind of warm when they gave it to me? SO TASTY. Please stop by when you get the chance!

Let me first say that I ordered a toasted multigrain bagel with extra cream cheese and it was cooked to perfection honestly. I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but you would be surprised how many Dunkins get this wrong. Sometimes the bagel doesn't get toasted. They rarely get the right amount of cream cheese on there. So I was very happy about the food. Next the coffee was perfect, brewed right and I asked for extra cream and it came with exactly the right amount. So to be clear the food here for my experience was great. The problem is everything else unfortunately. And I would really like to raise this place to at least three stars. First of all when you walk into the stone, you feel like it's an older Dunkin' Donuts. The interior is plain walls with a strange assortment of random tables. There is one round table that seats four that is taller than the other four tables that seat two. Just kind of thrown around the floor. There is no merchandise for sale. You don't get that typical warm Dunkin' Donuts vibe/energy. I went to go add sugar to my coffee and was startled to find that there were no sugar packets in the condiment stand. How can that be? Not a single packet. Plenty of the other sweeteners. In their defense a manager brought them to me as fast as possible when I complained. But just not sure how that could happen in the first place. The servers were friendly but absolutely no spark in their eyes at all. Almost like the walking dead. But not rude, they took my order and made really good food for me. But I could only imagine what would happen during rush hours here. I definitely recommend this Dunkin location because the food and coffee are up to par and excellent! Would really like to see this location upgrade itself in terms of a more modernized interior, better management and a sharper staff to match most of the others. If so I will raise my rating with pleasure!

We just wanted some coffee and breakfast sandwiched. Settled on drip coffees, a sausage egg and cheese on a hard roll, and a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel. Both were fantastic.

Callie's Creamery is honestly a hidden gem. But in a sea of famous Jersey shore ice cream towns,…read morehow do they stand out you may ask. Their ice cream contains the highest quality ingredients and all of their flavor flavors are handcrafted in house. You can really taste the difference! We tried a variety of amazing flavors like the mint fudge swirl, Nutella Graham, Callie's cotton candy, and the Dubai chocolate, but my favorites were Cookie Monster and biscoff cookie butter! You can order an ice cream flight which is perfect for indecisive people like me. Six flavors, sounds good to me! Their sundaes are huge and could be shared with 2 people. The brownie sundae was decadent and dripping in fudge. Yum! I like that it's indoors which means you can come here year round. There's plenty of seating in their adorable ice cream shop, which is adorned with painted sprinkles all over the walls! There's claw machines for kids and even a photo booth. Pints, ice cream sandwiches, and more in their freezer ready to go. Can't wait to be back for more!

They also have a great rewards system where they'll randomly sent you a free $5 off which almost pays for a whole ice cream. The store is always very clean and you can try as many samples as you like. They clearly label the flavors with the allergens so you can be safe. If you ask them to use a clean scoop for severe allergies they are very accommodating. Another cute thing they do is theme night for kids so they'll have Bluey and characters come visit. Super cute, one of my all time favs.
