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!

Came in for brunch with a party of about 8 to 10 people. The staff was extremely accommodating and we were very thankful for that. We were also happy to be able to bring in our own Prosecco to enjoy mimosas. My polenta and shrimp meal was out of this world! I'm still thinking about it today. I would definitely recommend for anyone interested in visiting Hatch 44.

Such a cute spot on main st in Bradley beach! I have eaten here before and the breakfast was very good. Today I went to grab a quick coffee on my way to the beach, I was directed to head straight to the coffee bar where I was able to order, pay, and get on my way in a matter of minutes! Great service, very friendly and a decent latte. I'll be back!

Pumpkin Pie Latte
Melody Y.

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.

Lox hollandaise
Rachel B.

Modern looking place, our server was very helpful and made solid recommendations. I got the lox benedict, and my husband got the scramble fiesta bowl with chorizo. Both were extremely tasty and very filling. Would definitely come back again (and next time I'm getting the fiesta bowl!)

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!

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!

Oat milk latte
Carlie A.

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.

Birria Grilled Cheese Please and Tiramisu-tini
Fiona C.

Very cute brunch spot with good food! I really enjoyed the Birria grilled cheese. The Tiramisu-tini (not alcohol) was a nice sweet accompaniment to my sandwich.

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

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.

pancakes

DRY "french" toast & RAW pancakes I'm sorry to leave a negative review but when I saw the bill for $80 for two plates and coffees with this poor quality of food I had to. This place is a complete rip off. Why offer something you cannot make. The french toast was completely dry, not an ounce of egg or batter had seeped into the toast. I had it exchanged for pancakes and they were raw and had a terrible texture, no syrup was given so they were also dry. I hate places like this cute on the outside but completely fake and poor quality food

The Birria Grilled Cheese was incredible. Best birria meat I've ever had. I'm still thinking about their hot chocolate as well.

Ridiculous wait time. Lack of communication, poor waiter/ess service. While food is good not worth all the drama on weekend wait times

Simply blown away with Kaya's Kitchen. I am vegan but that does not mean I give every vegan…read morebusiness 5 stars. I thought the food, service, and atmosphere were phenomenal. This business was consistently busy so clearly their customer base is not only vegans. They have a huge menu to pick from and everything I tried was a winner. I was out of town visiting friends and so lucky my Inn was walking distance from Kaya's. I enjoyed dinner and lunch here during my stay. The first thing I ordered was the Seitan Peppered Steak and my husband got the Chicken Parm upon the server's recommendation. I could not believe I got to use a steak knife for my meal! That was a thrill as most vegans have no purpose for a steak knife other than opening up packages of tofu. This seitan steak entree was a true meat and potatoes dinner which was a unique experience for me. The seitan steak was thin which meant it wasn't chewy and very easy to slice into and enjoy. The mashed potatoes had a generous pool of gravy and were perfection. The side of vegetables was cooked just right and added some nice color to my plate. My husband hardly gave me a bite of his chicken parm. He was in heaven. The bite I did enjoy had wonderful notes of basil and was delicious. The sandwich was assembled well and never got soggy. It was a great first experience. We returned the next day for lunch and got the chicken quesadillas, nachos, and tiramisu. The nachos were fully loaded and every chip had a delicious topping to enjoy. The quesadilla was simple yet executed well. I loved that it came with guacamole, salsa, and sour cream on the side. The tiramisu was the real standout winner. I thought we were too full for dessert and then we demolished this tiramisu. It was made by an employee who has her own business and this pastry chef is TALENTED. I wish I could order a whole sheet of that tiramisu, and I wish I was in town longer to try more of her baked goods. Kaya's employees were amazing as the menu was HUGE and I had so many questions for them. They were patient, friendly, and got the food out of the kitchen in a timely manner. Kaya's also has an impressive amount of dining space. No matter how crowded it was I felt like my husband and I could enjoy an intimate meal together. I did not anticipate coming back to Belmar but it would be sad if I never got to eat at Kaya's again. They are officially on my list for vacation destinations.

Delicious vegan food! Had the Rueben, packed with flavor. Very casual spot. Pleasant, friendly…read moreservice. I'll be back.
