Nothing beats Kaboodles after a long day at the beach (or a sweet post-dinner craving) Honestly, try all the flavors, they're delicious. I'm a little partial to mint chocolate chip and the cold brew caramel latte. Those are my favorite, but I've heard the rest are great too. Check them out if you're in the area!

Summer Sweets is an awesome ice cream parlor in Lavallette…read more There's no parking lot so cars usually just park along the street, disregarding any no parking signs. It's that, or you can park a couple blocks away. There's a cute claw game outside where you play till you win for $3. All little kids beg their parents here. The ice cream is great! Wonderful assortment of flavors and it's all so good. You can put two flavors together in a small. Try flavors to see what you like and enjoy! They also sell some chocolate by the pound - pretzels, bark, other chocolate covered things... Some frozen treats are for sale in a freezer case inside. They have a rewards system that seems to return dollars to you quickly, likely cause ice cream costs a bit nowadays. Also, no credit card fee.

Our server was super friendly and brought us coffee and waters quickly. We both kept it simple here with my wife ordering scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries and sourdough toast and I had a ham and Swiss omelette, home fries and sourdough toast. Simple meals that came out quickly and done perfectly. I love that they the portions here are actually correct portion sizes and not an overwhelming amount of food. And I don't know what they do to their hash browns, but WOW. Tasted almost like mashed potatoes, but with the consistency of hash browns. Very good coffee and food, excellent and friendly service, small parking lot and on-street parking - this is an easy one to recommend, I would definitely come back.

They offer sausage, steaks, chicken, burgers and anything else you may want. Last visit we got a Flank Steak and grilled it up when we got home. It was delicious. They also have odds and ends like chips, bread, vegetables, some frozen items, etc. if you need some essentials. Prices are a little high, but you're paying for the convenience of going 3 minutes instead of 15 to the supermarket. They are related to Double D which is up in Old Bridge, NJ.
