Stopped here for lunch during our first trip to Belmar, NJ and did not regret it! The menu is small…read morebut the flavors are huge! I ordered a Shrimp Po' Boy and it was by far the best Po'Boy I have had outside of New Orleans, and might have even been better than the one I had there too. My daughter ordered the Fish and Chips, which she loved despite it being her first time trying it. The interior has that "hole in the wall" vibe with just a few tables and a few stools at the counter. The food is being made just feet away from wear you're sitting and it creates a homey vibe. The locals seem to love the place as several stopped in to either eat or chat with the two women working. I do believe they have outdoor seating at picnic tables. Overall, this place is an absolute gem and i'll definitely be back when we return to Belmar, NJ.

It's cash only or Venmo, which I find its pretty normal for smaller local spots. The thing about this location was that it reminded me of Maine, the walls are painted this beautifully brilliant blue with nautical inspired decor. My favorite was the fishies above a fishing boat, which I had to take a snap of. I ordered 3 eggs over medium, with rye, and a side of bacon. The eggs were still a bit too runny, but its a standard breakfast. I want to go back and to sit there because the staff were super nice. If I lived closer then I'd prolly be here all the time. I saw a reviewer complain about the sign showing open, but they weren't. Honestly businesses making that mistake all the time, but to point it out is just whatever. Highly recommend stopping by here early because I have a feeling they're super busy with the locals.

The food was delicious from a very creative menu. Loved the music. The reason I rated 3-stars is because I was really looking forward to visiting for quite some time. It's a 30-minute drive and I visited on a Sunday at 1pm. They close at 3pm. The first thing I asked for was the French toast. They stated that they were out of French toast. Next I asked for Lobster Benedict. They ran out of lobster. The lobster, I can understand. It's seafood. You want it to be fresh and also I think it was a special that day. But how does a brunch restaurant run out of French Toast on the busiest brunch day of the week and you have 2 hours of service left? Not a good impression at all and I was very disappointed. If I wasn't so hungry, I would have walked out. I settled for the Liam's Favorite pancakes which was good and very filling, but I just wasn't in the mood for pancakes. Seasoned potatoes were good. Drinks were also good. Had the Dulce de Leche Cafe. Also this place is BYOB if you want to bring a bottle for mimosas. I would return here, but only if I am conveniently in the area.

Definitely not worth the walk or the five dollars.

Meat was soft and delicious. The churro waffle was so fluffy and not too sweet. Perfect balance. Farmer's platter was good. My only note is they didn't add any butter to my toast, something I usually expect when I order breakfast plates. But since they charged me extra for ordering some garlic mayonnaise, I assumed they'd charge me if I asked for butter. Staff was attentive and kind, upsold us to the max. Which was a good and bad thing. The coffee we ordered, our server upsold us on flavored syrups and cold foam but did not disclose it'd be extra. Didn't complain since the coffee was delicious, but just keep that in mind if you try this place!

Yesterday I purchased eight brownies for over $30 from this bakery for a birthday celebration at work. At that price point, I expected something fresh, rich, and worthy of being brought to a group. What I got instead were stale, dry brownies that tasted like they had been sitting out for days. It was honestly embarrassing to serve them. They were noticeably old and completely underwhelming, especially for a bakery that positions itself as a premium spot. If you're charging luxury prices, the product needs to match. Freshness should be the absolute bare minimum, and unfortunately, that wasn't even close here. I won't be returning, and I definitely wouldn't recommend this place for anything you're bringing to an event.

The various types of biscotti we purchased as well as the crumble cheesecake were highlights from our selections. Definitely worth a stop in to see what interests your sweet tooth. The Deets: After dinner in Asbury Park this recent visit, it was decided a visit was needed down to Del Ponte's Bakery along Main St in Bradley Beach. This bakery's huge selection of Italian pastries and sweet treats was almost overwhelming! Multiple display cases of deliciousness awaited us inside the shop, we really took our time to look over all of it before decisions were made. We had basically thought going in that we would nab some fresh biscotti (which of course, we did, in different varieties, all delicious) but also ended up with some other goodies such as crumble cheesecake (so good!), cookies, etc. We feasted well each morning, believe you me. It was on the Friday evening of Labor Day holiday weekend and I think the young staffers there had a long day. We were served well, but from the "Can I help who is next, already?!" for example that was shouted out across the shop full of customers sort of came across as "let's get this done now" but hey, never know what they already had been through that day, right? They gathered up all our choices from case to case when it was our turn and we were pretty pleased with the boxes full of baked goodness as all of it didn't last long. Del Ponte's Bakery is a good stop to make if wanting some sweet treats to take home and enjoy, we are glad we did so.
