The muffins are the BEST, especially the fruit ones, and the crumb cake is nuts. It's like they bake it JUST to the point of not being raw and then top it with 60lbs of crumb. The building itself is tiny, so if there's a line outside, don't let that stop you. Things move quickly. If you're planning to pick up pies or other must-have items, definitely order ahead since you never know when they will be sold out--I've seen it happen. Nothing says summer on LBI like starting the day with a few bites of anything from here. Waking up to that pink box always puts a smile on my face. Oh, and the cold brew is like 110 octane so a little goes a long way... yet I always get a large.

It tasted like a giant version of the freshest devil dog you could imagine. We also had a dozen vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting. It was just homemade deliciousness.

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.

I was excited to try the sugar coated jelly doughnut, but in my opinion and others in my household, the jelly to donut ratio was off, there was too much jelly filling. The Boston cream doughnut was just OK and the orange Creamsicle I didn't like it at all. Overall, the donuts are good, but we like the jelly donuts at Big Apple bakery in Manahawkin better. The prices were reasonable, 5 donuts and an iced coffee was $15. The counter workers were very nice.

The ambiance only added to the overall positive experience. I'm eagerly anticipating my own visit to explore more of their offerings and plan to place orders for upcoming work events. Comparing these delightful treats to the well-known Crumble Cookie, and for the low price of $3 a cookie I don't see where you can go wrong here ! there's no competition - they effortlessly outshine the competition.

If you're a light and sweet coffee drinker this is for you. If you are a coffee drinker that tries to stay away from the sweets this is for you too because it's a really REALLY worth it cheat dessert.
