I got out of the coffee shop, took a sip and the coffee is cold. I thought that was strange, but just continued to walk home. I finally took the top off the coffee and there must've been a half a cup of half-and-half in it. No wonder it's cold. I dumped it out on the side of the street. Definitely not worth the walk or the five dollars.

Great place to have a chat and people watch or work from a laptop. Coffee was delicious and even though they only had one barista when I went, the line moved swiftly.

The laminated pastries were insanely good, especially the almond croissant, pretzels, cookies, the coconut-rimmed pastry, and a few others I'm sadly forgetting the names of. The matcha was also delicious and clearly well made, and the cold brew was so good too, $5 for a small cup and totally worth it. They also have a punch card for drinks, which is a nice bonus. Staff was on it and efficient, and the bakery itself feels incredibly well run. Timing definitely matters here. In early May, we got lucky with a shorter line and lots of options around noon on a Saturday. By mid-May, the line was already down the sidewalk around 9 a.m. on a Saturday during Mother's Day weekend. There's no indoor seating, just a couple outdoor tables. Definitely check it out!

I really enjoyed my visit to Del Ponte's Creamery and Cafe. This cafe is part of a large…read moreestablishment that encompasses pizza, bakery, and this great cafe. The service is stellar, the decor is appealing, they have indoor seating, and the gelato is award winning. During this visit, I ordered the coffee gelato with oreo topping. I cannot give enough kudos to the deliciousness of this gelato. The serving was generous and the mixture of the creamy gelato, with the crunchy oreo, made this such a delight to enjoy....and highly recommended. Thank you, Del Ponte, for giving Bradley Beach such a great choice for sweetness and we will definitely make it our choice, throughout the summer beach outings in this area.

It was the perfect spot for coworking: -Plenty of others had their laptops out. -Wifi was strong. -We didn't feel like we needed to be too quiet, so we could actually talk about work, chat at a normal volume, etc and didn't worry we were disturbing anyone. -Long list of delicious seasonal drinks and classics. I got the pistachio latte and it was so good. Not too sweet at all, just a touch of the pistachio syrup. The space is lovely, with lots of tables set up along the wall and window. It is a PERFECT spot for remote work, and just a lovely cafe in general.

My girlfriend and I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon in June. The taproom felt spacious with natural light, and was well decorated with off-white walls and interesting plant decor. Definitely a relaxing and welcoming vibe. The place was decently crowded but not overwhelmingly so for most of our time there. We love dogs and they had a ton of dogs inside, so we were in heaven. 10 beers on tap, plus one seltzer, and a nice variety in the list. I liked that the list was broken down by types of beers (easy drinking and crisp, hoppy and hazy, dark and strong), and each beer had a detailed description next to it. This should honestly be the norm for breweries. We each had a flight so we were able to sample most of the menu. The beer was pretty good. We enjoyed all that we had, but nothing stood out to us as super memorable. We live on the other side of NJ, so we can't be regulars, but we would definitely stop by again the next time we're in the area.

They were quite delicious, and served with a delightful bouquet garni of tiny milk bones--another favorite of mine. 5 stars!! Highly recommend!! (And my human liked her food a lot, too!)

Nancy made me the most amazing rose latte I have ever had.

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.
