When in Long Beach Island, you must go to How You Brewin'! This is my favorite place to go on the…read moreisland when I need coffee. I love getting everything from cold brew to lattes, and I also buy their coffee beans to have at home. They also serve food here, and their sandwiches are perfect for beach lunches. The space is warm and inviting, and it's a great spot for hanging out or working. My husband and I love it here so much that we even took a few of our engagement photos here a couple years ago. So if you find yourself on the island, make sure you go here!

I was really looking forward to trying this place, especially with the long line out the door, but…read moreit didn't live up to the hype. When we arrived, there was a QR code on the door to scan the menu, so we took the time to look it over while waiting. After finally reaching the counter, we were told that the coffee drinks we wanted are only available on Sundays. It was confusing and frustrating if the menu is limited on certain days, there should be some kind of notice before customers wait in line. Feeling rushed because of the line behind us, we ended up ordering two nitro cold brews (one with sugar‑free vanilla). Unfortunately, both drinks tasted exactly the same and were nothing special. Honestly, I could've made something similar at home and saved the $15. There are definitely better coffee options in the area. On the positive side, the staff was friendly, there was plenty of seating, and the food and sandwiches looked decent. But overall, the experience just didn't match the expectations.

The coffee was just okay, hence the 3 star "OK" rating. Nothing stand out or memorable for me from…read moreother average cafes or coffee shops. I also ordered a bunch of pastries to take to relative's and those were a bit underwhelming as well. I will most likely opt to try someplace else next time we visit. There is nothing wrong with this place so if you are cruising by and need that caffeine (or snack hit), by all means, stop in! Parking: Small private lot in strip mall type building.

Both drinks were made dairy free by request and were not overly sweet, like some other places. Prices were very reasonable too. Glad we found a coffee shop in Manahawkin.

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.

The market section itself is great, a fair amount of selections, and all seem to be pretty fresh. The bakery section displayed a number of pastries that looked really good (but I didn't try). However, the coffee missed the mark for me. I got an iced americano and it was pretty bitter/had a burnt flavor. I probably won't return for the coffee but will def visit again for the market and bakery.
