I've been in SSP for years and have passed by this establishment several times and did not try it…read moreout until recently! Beach Culture is unabashedly that - a little eatery that celebrates all things beachy! Having said this, I appreciate Beach Culture for what it is - a little stop for a small bite on the way to the beach. Believe it or not, there is usually a line outside this place on the weekends, and I can see why with a younger crowd especially. Young, beach-going vacationers will feel the pull of the waves as they stop in for a smoothie or an acai bowl. (If I was a kid, that's what I would do anyway!) I came here a few times last week - once to check it out and grab some food for myself, and once to bring my nieces because I felt like they would dig this place. I purchased a few of their toasts both times - for $4.50 each, the price is admittedly a liiiiiittle on the steep side for some bread with toppings, but Beach Culture needs to survive somehow, right? I do have to say, both toasts were very well balanced with fruit and toppings (one was banana / peanut butter / cacao and the other was strawberry / nutella / cacao ) - really nice for a light breakfast. I also grabbed a shaka coffee which was extremely tasty - and I can't wait to try their other specialty mixes. My nieces opted for a acai bowl and went absolutely bonkers for it, saying it was better then Playa Bowls (which is their all time favorite). There are a few things that prevent me from giving Beach Culture five stars, even if those things can't be helped. Seating is definitely limited - there are only two small tables outside - and the workers here can be a little on the slow side (although, they are all so lovely and friendly). But it's BEACH CULTURE, so if you're in a rush when going to this place, are you even at the beach? I also will admit their menu is a bit limited, but I take it for face value. If you want a quick / light snack, a coffee, or a smoothie, then this place will satisfy your needs. I adore this little eatery at the Jersey Shore, and will be coming here to get my caffeine fix!

Then trying to change stores deletes everything in your cart. Crazy frustrating why not make it easy on people trying to pay $15! for a smoothie or fruit bowl on vacation I guess they have too much business to make it easy.

In the front, they have refrigerators that have fresh juice, yogurt parfaits, drinks, and more. The vegan options are well priced however I wish the burgers and sandwiches came with a side instead of adding a small fry for four dollars. I got the BLTA burger and added a small fry and it is fresh, tastes amazing, and I really enjoyed everything that I ate. The service was great. The guy that was working was polite and the food came out pretty fast. This is definitely a great place with a lot of options if you are vegetarian or vegan. I can't wait to come back and try something else!

The girls who work here are so helpful despite it being crazy busy all the time. I've ordered the regular Playa acai bowl and added in on extra PB, strawberry, chia seeds, and cocoa nibs. The acai power is also good and I subbed it with vanilla protein powder. It barely altered the taste of the bowl. My boyfriend loves the coconut power and it definitely holds its frozen consistency better than others I've had. My one comment would be that the poke concept within the shop does change up the smell of the place. It doesn't necessarily leave a bad smell, but I do think the two compete with each other. Would rather the smoothie bowl store smelling sweet instead of savory!

I just remembered Ive been here few times before but didnt go in due to this long line.

The girl who made my bowl barely mixed it into the pre-made pitaya base so it was clumpy and I had to restir when I got back, otherwise I would have been scooping straight powder. I wouldve thought they'd give it a quick blend or something. The pineapple on the bowl also tasted sour (& not in a tart, pineapple way) so I couldn't even eat it. The bowl was okay, felt pretty skimpy on the fruit; not worth $13. We also got the Ahi tuna salad which had the potential to be good but for $18, there was only 4 little pieces of tuna and 0 dressing on the salad.
