Gracious owner of a small, quirky (that's a good thing) place. Soon as we sat down the owner offered us bread samples. We tried the meat bread, sourdough and chocolate. All very good. The roll my breakfast sandwich was on was soft with sesame seeds. It was great! The sandwich had Taylor ham, bacon, egg, cheese, a hash brown and bacon-jam. What a treat. My wife had delicious French toast and eggs. She loved it. The only negative is, that there are only 4 tables that seat 4 and 1 that seats 2. I will be back! read more

I've passed the shopping center thousands of times and never knew this was in here. We were looking for a local breakfast and had heard recently about Krust. It's a tiny cafe with maybe 5 or 6 tables. We were greeted right away and told to take a seat. The owner told us how they had bread samples and we tried those while we looked over the menu, so good. We got a jam sandwich which was amazing and an egg and cheese also so good. The bread was awesome. The owner was super friendly and we appreciate his recommendations. Saw a lot of people coming in for takeout orders or DoorDash orders while we were waiting so that's good to know. So glad we know this is here and can't wait to come back. read more

Krust Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Freehold, New Jersey

Great family run business ... a limited menu but everything we ordered was great. The bread is the star of the meal ... when I couldn't finish my sandwich because it was huge I took off the meat and ate the bread. The owner was great and clearly loves what he does ... service and hospitality was that of a fine dining restaurant. Give it a shot for sure ! read more

Visited Krust Café Freehold today for the 1st time. It definitely will NOT be the last. The place is small but cute. The food absolutely delish. I was greeted by a man who I now know from videos is the owner. Very nice helpful and welcoming. He showed me bread samples and I opted to taste the chocolate bread. OMG No words. I ended up buying the last loaf. He gave me suggestions for lunch and I chose the Fancy Bird Shooters. Delish!!!! And the chips that come with it.... Wow! Plenty of food also, I could not finish it all. You can eat in or take out. He did say he is working on extending hours. I will definitely be back! read more

You can't go wrong with anything you pick from the menu. All the food is amazing! My go to breakfast choice is "the jam" sandwich, the bacon jam is a game changer. I don't know where they get their bread from but it is always fresh and soft, really brings the sandwiches to another level. I highly recommend and check out their instagram, the commercials are hilarious. read more

Krust is the definition of a hidden gem. I can guarantee in a year they won't be so hidden. The place is awesome baking their own bread and letting you sample pretty much everything. The pork roll egg and cheese on homemade bread is one of the best in the area. We also bought a sourdough loaf fresh out of the oven and it was divine. The proscuitto sandwich with burrata also lovely. They are also the nicest people in there. Highly recommend. read more

I've been wanting to come here for a while after reading rave reviews on social media. The place looked tiny from the outside, so we weren't sure if they only sell bread to go or if they have tables for dining in. Hubs and I decided to give this place a try, whether just buying a loaf of bread or dining in. Imagine our surprise to find out that the place was packed with customers dining in! We were able to find a table after arriving. It's a tiny and cute place with about 5-6 tables for people to dine in. Behind their swinging doors is a pretty big kitchen. I was surprised at how homey and large the place was. They also have an extensive menu. Hubs got the 'Maters-n-Eggs, which has seared seasoned tomatoes, eggs and cheese served open face on thick sliced panini bread. This was delicious. The bread was very soft. The tomatoes, eggs and cheese were a perfect combo. I stole a few bites from him. I had Italian Hot Dog Hero, which has Jersey style two half pound dogs, blistered and split with sautéed peppers-n-onions, chopped fried potato wedges, served on a hero. It tasted pretty good . The peppers and onions were pretty good and the bread was fresh and crispy, as well. There's a coffee bar where you make your own coffee. Cream and milk is in the fridge. The bread here is very fresh. Hubs ended up buying one. Owner is very friendly and told us that we were welcome to sample any bread that they have. There was a spread for anyone who wanted to sample their bread. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu and buy more bread to go! read more

Very pleasant attentive staff; some of the best breads I've ever had. I had the olive bread and the cranberry nut bread. I had french toast on sweet brioche bread, terrific. Coffee is on the house. Can't wait to go again. Harvey & Sandy read more

I tried so very hard to like this place. The decor is cute, the staff were very friendly. The cafe was extremely clean. If I was reviewing those things the cafe would get 10 stars - however, I'm rating food and this was one of the worst breakfasts I've ever had - and when you are a breakfast cafe you had better get it right! They didn't come close to getting it right - not by a long shot. I ordered orange juice, they were out of it. The coffee was hot but that's truly the only nice thing I can say about it. My scrambled eggs were overcooked by at least 5 minutes - they were inedible and not eaten. The bacon had great flavor but parts were cooked nicely while other parts were either raw or burnt. The sourdough toast was not toasted - just barely warmed up and doughy. I asked where my home fries were and were told they were also sold out. For a breakfast place to be sold out of two mainstay staples, serve coffee that only qualifies because of its temperature and to serve eggs that my cat wouldn't even consider eating is just very sad and pathetic. I might have given this place a second try but by the look of my eggs and the eggs at the tables near by I assume that they feel this is the way eggs should be cooked and served so a second trip would be just wasting another twenty dollar bill. Take the extra 4 minute ride and go to the Freehold Grill on Rt 33 - they know what they are doing!! read more

Krust Cafe - French Toast Platter's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Freehold, New Jersey

We loved Krust Café for the vibe, food, and coffee! The folks working here are friendly and hardworking making sure we had everything we needed. The coffee is available from a coffee urn and it's hot and really good. We ordered an Italian chopped sandwich and Philly cheesesteak sandwich both served on soft, delicious bread. I highly recommend the Italian chopped if you are craving all the classic combined flavors of the meats, cheese, mayo, and oil and vinegar. Yum! Lots of creative breakfast and lunch sandwich options. We have also tried and loved the BLT, pork roll, and french toast. Krust Café sells its incredible bread too! It's a small restaurant you may have to wait for a table but it will be worth it! Located in the Abbey Carpet plaza on Route 9 South in Freehold, NJ. read more

Krust Café is one of those rare spots that gets everything right--fantastic food, a welcoming owner, and a cook who always steps out to say hello. Whether I'm there for a meal or just grabbing bread, it never disappoints. I try to keep this place to myself, but they truly deserve every bit of recognition. Freehold is lucky to have this gem. read more

This place is an amazing addition to the Freehold Howell area. If you haven't been here, you should give it a shot. The steak is steak and not steakumms, the potatoes are fresh as can be. There isn't one bad thing to say. Definitely in my top 2 breakfasts spots. read more

It is said that man does not live by bread alone - but if we did the bread at Krust Cafe would be more than enough. Bread and rolls are the stars here at Krust. Fresh made rolls and bread are the specialty, but what makes Krust Cafe so special is what's between the bread. Newly opened on route 9 south in Freehold, Krust Cafe occupies the former Romeo's Express location close to the intersection with Elton-Adelphia Road. The place is small but the vibe is big. There are tables for dining in and a small coffee bar. The decor is a clean Jersey Shore look. There is a friendly intimacy that encourages interaction with others - if you want. Each table has a cool old-time wooden game to keep you occupied. There is a good selection of unique hot sauces on each table so you won't lack for seasoning. I had the triple decker BLT. It was generously stuffed with the right amount of mayonnaise. As a bacon aficionado I can say the bacon was thick, tasty, and cooked to perfection. The "hook-up" side salad was a treat - orzo, cucumber and pepper bits in a light dressing was a delight. My wife had the butternut squash apple soup in a bread bowl. The soup was delicious. The combination of flavors was hearty and just right on a cold day. Once the soup was gone she enjoyed the warm bread bowl. The menu of breakfast sandwiches is a culinary delight, with many combinations of egg, bacon, pork roll and cheese. Lunch sandwiches hold much promise also, with fresh takes on steak and cheese and Italian hot dogs. More than one visit will be required to try them all. The staff is friendly and helpful. What a great new place with friendly folks. Five stars!!! Everything is made fresh. read more

When I got my printed bill it had added on items that were listed as extras on my breakfast sandwich, so just check you bill

I was recently in NJ for a work related course and was looking for a good breakfast and lunch spot. Krust Cafe exceeded my expectations. The staff is super friendly and the food was delicious. I had breakfast and lunch, two days, had I found it the first day it would've been 4 meals instead of 3. I had the "when in NJ" recomended Pork Roll for Breakfast and that thing was huge. The two lunches I had were the Steak and Egg Sammi and the Cluck Norris (grilled chicken) Sammi. Everything I got there was delicious. The bread was fresh, from NYC and the sandwiches were large enough to be considered two meals. This small local owned mom and pop shop is a must if you're looking for good food, in a good atmosphere, from good people. read more

The people were super friendly. The food was very fresh and good. Service was excellent and quick.

My wife and I found ourselves at Krust for lunch. Nicely decorated and clean. Very casual. Upon entering, the man at the counter told us to sit wherever we wanted and brought us menus. There's quite a variety on the menu, including so low to no carb options, which is great for a place called Krust. We decided to keep it simple. I ordered pork roll, egg and cheese, and my wife got a cheesesteak. The PREC was overloaded with PR! My wife's chresesteak came on a long ciabatta and she said it was phenomenal. They have a variety of breads for sale as well. We left with a sourdough patella and a chocolate chip Irish soda bread. If you can, run, don't walk, to Krust. Have a bite to eat and get the soda bread!! We'll be back to try some other options (like homemade chicken salad on cranberry walnut sliders!) read more

Can't go wrong here. I had heard rave reviews from two separate people recently so I decided to pick up lunch. I ordered the triple decker blt (they added turkey for me) and the cheeseburger quesadilla. Both were perfectly made and enough for two meals. Highly recommended and I will be trying breakfast soon. read more

Great egg sandwiches and very kind and friendly staff. I loved my egg sandwich with avocado and there was a lot of avocado. Bonus!!! The bread was fresh soft and crusty. They have a selection of breads which all looked delicious. I had a piece of their meat bread and was delicious. I would recommend this cafe! read more

Chopped Hero sandwich is excellent when you accidentally forgot your dentures at home.

Some of the Best Breakfast Options in Monmouth County... Amazing Sandwiches and Service... Highly Recommend

LOVE this place!!! Stumbled into it because my friends and I were planning to meet somewhere else for a Sunday brunch and the line at the other place was an hour long. We found Krust and I'm so glad we did! Food was delicious, service was attentive without being intrusive, and the folks working there were really invested in the quality of the food. The vibe almost felt like I was at my neighbor's house--totally comfortable and welcomed the minute we walked in. We got the Avo-eggy toast, the Jam, and the French toast platter (might have been a daily special). Each dish was excellent, and the breads were all freshly baked. There was a sample table with chocolate bread (delicious) and zeppole filled with banana/peanut butter--totally addictive!!! On our way out, the owner (?) gave each of us a loaf of bread fresh out of the oven--still warm--as a thanks for being new customers. We will definitely be coming back. Try it, you will not be disappointed! If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. read more
