We came in so we could do our work meetings, but the wifi was not working well for either of us. Thank god I got there early! It took me over 15 minutes to get my devices connected and ready for the meeting. I love the little shop they have in the old vault. The merchandise is super cute handmade items from local artists, all fairly priced.

After grabbing…read morelunch across the street at Cardinal, we popped in here, laptops in hand and got some work done. 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.

Lava Java is a great staple in the community, seriously one of the better coffee and breakfast…read morespots around, and you'll know that once you see the line, lol. The Great Divide is great, and I honestly can't tell the difference between the coveted pork roll and Taylor ham, but I guess that's part of the fun. The coffee is exquisite, made fresh and very well. I noticed a bunch of drinks pre-made, so it looks like you can order ahead, and I'd recommend doing that if so. The inside is cramped, but it's generally meant for picking up and ordering, not a typical coffee spot with laptops and headphones.

There are lot of seating options available outside and lot of customers enjoying the sunshine on a November day, a delight to watch. As you enter, you see this beautiful decor and a well-maintained cafe. The first section has some tables and then as you enter the main cafe area. The staff friendly welcomes and assist you with your order. The staff has that vibe which makes you feel come back to the cafe every day of your stay. We ordered coffee and croissant. The crossaint was delicious and melted in the mouth. Highly recommended place while you visit the Ortley or Seaside beaches.

Due-Back was highly recommended to us by 3 people we know. We were excited to have a cup of coffee…read morethere and made our way over. There was a person in line that even said she drove over an hour away to experience this coffee shop. From the moment we arrived we were disappointed. The location is very small. We opened the door to come in but found that you could not fit more than 4 people comfortably in the shop at one time. We had to wait outside for about 10 minutes before we could even step foot in the door. My fiance ordered the Harvest Latte and I ordered the Gingerbread latte. Mine came with a little gingerbread cookie which was nice. The total was $15 for TWO lattes. That price is literally ludicrous for 2 cups of coffee. Price aside it came time to try our lattes and we realized what a bad decision it was to have tried Due-Back. My fiancés Harvest Latte tasted of the most bitter artificially sweetened berry you could ever have. It completely masked the coffee in the drink. My gingerbread cookie was good, but my latte? Not at all enjoyable. For some reason I could also taste berry in my drink. Possibly because the berry was in the coffee grinds from the previous drink and they did not do an adequate job of cleaning the grind basket in the coffee machine before making the next drink. Apologies but not worth the $15 at all. We will not be Due-Back any time soon.

This is situated inside of Tina's this and that shop. They had some paper menus posted around the counter, but then also a board behind them. I asked which of two drinks was the more popular and ended up ordering the Strega nonna. There was someone behind me on line, so after I ordered, I couldn't go past them, but next to me there was a velvet rope that I hopped over which was kind of awkward. I feel like they need to figure out this line situation a little better so the flow of traffic works. The drink was almost $10 for a small. I tried it once I got outside and it was too sweet for me and you could barely taste the espresso. Unfortunately, not for me.

Dog friendly cafe!…read more NORMANDY BEACH: @The Undergrind Cafe might be the coolest cafe on the Jersey Shore. They have brought the full London vibe to the beach, from the iconic red telephone booth to Big Ben artwork, street signs, and a buzzing city‑meets‑shore atmosphere. The name "UnderGrind" is a clever twist on London's Underground transit system, and we love it! It is dog friendly too! Leashed and friendly pups are welcome inside and on the patio. Brie lived her best life with a whipped‑cream pup cup, Milk‑Bone treats, and a big bowl of water. The menu is massive. Coffee, lattes, teas, shakes, refreshers, smoothies, plus a full lineup of sandwiches, salads, soups, and take‑out. The vegan Beyond Burger was cooked perfectly, and the Dragon Fruit refresher was a 10/10. This place is not just a cafe, but a whole experience.

However, I was really disappointed to hear the way the owner (or manager) was speaking to the girls working. Coming from someone who's worked in the service industry, there's nothing wrong with constructive criticism, but he was just plain rude to them. I really liked my coffee, but now I'm hesitant to come back after hearing the way the owner treats his staff.

I absolutely adore this place and I actually found a new place to get a haircut next door for a reasonable price so it was a win-win for me. They made me a vanilla latte, served in a real cup, it was excellent. They had homemade pop tarts!! So I ordered the Nutella one of course! Pastry was light and flaky, maybe a needed a little more filling, perhaps they could've heated it up more. The counter dude brought my order out separately. The place is doing great business. I love the decor and will definitely be back. I love mom and Pop small businesses, an antidote to Starbucks. Could be a great place to enjoy something to eat, have a nice cup of coffee, and relax with a book. Seems pet friendly too as a young woman brought a cute Boston terrier in with her.
