    Fiesta Scramble Bowl
    Matt G.

    After a poor experience in their Metuchen location, I was hesitant to give this location a try until I was convinced by my family. We wanted somewhere nearby to go for Brunch by the shore on Easter morning and Hatch 44 fit the bill. Inside we were pleasantly surprised to find there was no wait and the menu had a wide variety of options available. The menu, was entirely digital, but they had an iPad available as well in case you couldn't scan the QR code for whatever reason. One section of the menu is very strict about not allowing substitutions. In fact that was the entire reason I had such a poor experience at the other location is the server there had refused all alterations of the menu, to the point where they wouldn't even serve me scrambled eggs. I'm happy to say here, that level of strict control was absent as there was no issue in substituting the jalapenos in my Fiesta Scramble Bowl with spinach. The bowl itself was full of flavor, with the cheese chorizo and pico all complimenting each other beautifully. Additionally it was the perfect sized portion and I left quite satisfied. I did have a glass of fresh squeezed OJ on the side, but something about it tasted.. off. Not sure if it was actually fresh squeezed or a bad batch of oranges, but it did cause me to pause. Overall, it was a great experience, but be aware that the seasonal specials cannot have modifications!

    I've been here three seperate times now and have consistently gotten great service, amazing food, and a lovely ambiance to eat in. I love coming here for brunch with my friends and having nice aesthetics. Highly recommend!

    Oat milk latte

    Excellent experience- went early on a Saturday and had the place to ourselves for a little while. Server was friendly and clearly knowledgeable about the food which made it easy to accommodate dietary needs. They do have gluten free toast available and also nondairy milk for their coffee. It's a small cafe style space, but could probably accommodate a group by pushing tables together. Accessible with no steps and bathroom is also accessible.

    Pumpkin Pie Latte

    This cafe is super cute. Really good espresso & specialty coffees. Cute decor, instagram-able food and good service. Pumpkin pie latte: really good, creamy, and sweet. Birria omlet: a bit salty but hardy and the salad it came with paired nicely as it was fresh. I would come back if I were in the area again.

    This is the toast.

    We went for lunch because of all the hype. First the table we sat at was sticky we had to ask the waiter to bring spray to clean it. The restaurant was very noisy with babies screaming and crying. One patron was changing her child's diaper at the table, gross. She was throwing the wipes on the floor. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich was okay not exceptional. My sister and Mother had eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. The potatoes were supposed to have peppers and onions there were none. Maybe they used granulated not real peppered and onions. They gave one tiny piece of toast for two eggs and they forgot to bring the bread. By the time they received the toast they were almost finished with their eggs. Very disappointing for the price.

    I visited the Metuchen location a couple of times before and was finally able to get to Bradley Beach on a Sunday morning. We were able to be seated right away and the food was delicious! Our server, Tina, was amazing! She checked up on us often and made sure we had everything we needed. I ordered their caesar salad and fries which hit the spot. Along with their matcha spritz which was light and refreshing. Of course I had to try my friends drinks too. The Teddy Latte was so cute with the teddy grahams on top and my friend Oooh Bae latte was my favorite it was the perfect combination of coffee and ube. Our waitress recommended it too! If you want something sweet, get the tres leches pancakes it literally tasted like cake. Will be back!

    My first time at this location. The one in Metuchen. Ordered the crema de maiz. It's more tasty and flavorful. The s'mores latte was divine. The food was great. We were attended and the person was quick in taking the order and picking them up.

    Fried Cheese Empanada
    Lace D.

    The is a very cute place. The service was great, she was very attentive for a large group and the meals did not take long to arrive. The decor was bright and beachy. I had the cheese empanada and grilled brirra cheese. Both were delicious, I had a great time

    Birria Grilled Cheese Please

    Service was great. We had Taylor! She was very attentive. It was a party of 9 for a bachelorette brunch. The food was so delicious. And the inside is so nice. Very clean. No complaints at all. Definitely will be back. I got the grilled cheese birria. Definitely recommend!

    Adorable ambiance, lovely service, great food, and excellent coffee... definitely come here! I came with my parents and brother today and will be returning. I had the ooh bae latte which was so so yummy! I also had the mexi avo toast which was so fresh and flavorful and full of a great mix of textures and sweet/bitter/creamy/rich ingredients. I also tasted the sausage off if my brother's plate and it was some of the best breakfast sausage I've had.

    Decent little spot and close to the train. Often take the train down to see the parents and stop somewhere for a bite before or after. I'll keep Hatch on the list...

    Grace G.

    Ambiance is a 10/10 here! I want to come back for brunch which I believe is BYOB. The service has always been very good and same with the food. I got the fiesta scramble bowl which was so flavorful and fresh!

    $14...come on!

    Stopped here for lunch during our first trip to Belmar, NJ and did not regret it! The menu is small…read morebut the flavors are huge! I ordered a Shrimp Po' Boy and it was by far the best Po'Boy I have had outside of New Orleans, and might have even been better than the one I had there too. My daughter ordered the Fish and Chips, which she loved despite it being her first time trying it. The interior has that "hole in the wall" vibe with just a few tables and a few stools at the counter. The food is being made just feet away from wear you're sitting and it creates a homey vibe. The locals seem to love the place as several stopped in to either eat or chat with the two women working. I do believe they have outdoor seating at picnic tables. Overall, this place is an absolute gem and i'll definitely be back when we return to Belmar, NJ.

    Happy Wednesday Adventurers! While in the area I saw this place for breakfast and decided to stop…read moreby. I grabbed a to go because I had somewhere to be. It's cash only or Venmo, which I find its pretty normal for smaller local spots. The thing about this location was that it reminded me of Maine, the walls are painted this beautifully brilliant blue with nautical inspired decor. My favorite was the fishies above a fishing boat, which I had to take a snap of. I ordered 3 eggs over medium, with rye, and a side of bacon. The eggs were still a bit too runny, but its a standard breakfast. I want to go back and to sit there because the staff were super nice. If I lived closer then I'd prolly be here all the time. I saw a reviewer complain about the sign showing open, but they weren't. Honestly businesses making that mistake all the time, but to point it out is just whatever. Highly recommend stopping by here early because I have a feeling they're super busy with the locals.
