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.

As someone that has been visiting since the original opening of Shore Good Donuts, I unfortunately…read morefeel like the quality of the food here has gone downhill. I ordered the inside-out jelly which was very disappointing. Not only was the donut itself very stale-tasting, but the hole in the donut was huge, so the moment I picked it up, all the jelly fell out and it was extremely messy and difficult to eat. If you're looking for good quality, fresh donuts, I don't think I'd recommend this place despite its location and convenience. There are many other better spots on the island worth the money.

I didn't get to see the shop as my partner picked up donuts, but he told me they make them hot and fresh, so when he brought them they were still warm and nice.

I stopped by around 11am and quickly realized they had absolutely nothing out. They really close at 11 and just sell leftovers till 12. They had a few donuts so I got some to try but not much to pick from at all. When I asked about lunch sandwiches that I heard people raving about, they told me after Covid they never reopened that part of the deli. So they said they could still make a breakfast sandwich. I passed on the offer but my boyfriend got a Taylor ham egg and cheese on a bagel. It was really sad to look at, not a good sandwich overall. Would've been better off at WaWa. The donuts were decent but I definitely have had better on the island. I can appreciate how fresh they are but that's about it. Overall the staff was nice and the donuts were fresh but with hours so limited and no sandwiches available, I probably won't be back.

White's Market is a small, rustic market…read more If you need to do a large grocery run, need to feed lots of people, and aren't ready to spend $100+, I'd recommend taking a longer drive off the island so that you won't feel the sticker shock. If you need to pick up a few staples or items that you need for your home cooked lunch or dinner in your summer/rental home, this is the most convenient marketplace for extra goods in Barnegat Light. Purchases here support a local business of the island, which is a nice mental reframe. There's not a large variety of different packaged items, but it does the job when you're in a pinch. They also have household goods, snacks, and produce. There is a butcher in the back of the market as well as pastries and bagels tucked away (I heard they're delicious, but unfortunately I could not have any as I'm gluten free). They also have a mini fridge in the back which hoagies to go as well as cheese. If you want a sandwich made fresh for you or cold cuts to go, they do that too! They also have free tootsie rolls by the butcher which I thought was a cute touch. Note: they are no longer "Cash Only" and accept credit card as payment! Grab a free local newspaper (The Sandpaper - haha so cute) here as well if you want to know high/low tides within the next week.
