I'm a savory fan so the thick salty ham at the center made me happy. The almond croissant had some chocolate and was decadent as well. The interior is so pretty with its pastries and decor.

Unfortunately, I came at the end of the day and there didn't seem to be many things out or left so I feel like I didn't get the full aesthetic of what it would look like as a fully stock store. What I did get though I loved everything. I got a banana pudding, Oreo cookie, corn muffin and everything was soo good. Definitely will be back but have to come earlier in the day.

We absolutely LOVED Old Soul Coffee. The best way I can describe it is immaculate vibes from the…read moremoment you walk through the door. The owner, Rob, greeted us personally as soon as we came in, and that warmth carried through the entire experience. There is something incredibly rare about a place that combines old-school authenticity with true craftsmanship -- people who genuinely care about their products and are artisans at their craft. The coffee was exceptional, everything felt thoughtfully and beautifully made, and the atmosphere is just something special. It's warm, inviting and comfortable without feeling manufactured or trendy for the sake of being trendy. Old Soul is the kind of place where you genuinely feel welcome -- a place where you can sit down, take a breath, and have a little moment away in time from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It truly feels like a hidden gem, and those are the kinds of small businesses I love finding and supporting. You can feel the heart behind this place. We walked in as first-time customers and left already knowing we'll be back. If you're anywhere near Manalapan, do yourself a favor and experience Old Soul Coffee for yourself.

This was my first time at Old Soul Coffee and I am so happy to add another great cafe, perfect for remote work and with great coffee and lots of room to sit and stay, to my growing list. The cafe itself had so much seating: couches and armchairs, tables, high tops, even a little cozy space near a fireplace... I loved it. There was plenty of parking (a big lot), the service was friendly and fast, and they had wifi for guests to log onto. My cold brew was delicious and would be perfect as my one and only coffee of the day. Next time I will need to try a latte because they looked delicious. They had a pastry case that looked extremely tempting, and a "toasts" menu for anyone in need of a nosh. A great spot and I can't wait to go back.

The Italian bread and football rolls are my favorite, and you can't skip the cookies. Additionally, when I used to live in SC they offer shipping on select products as they are located next to a UPS store. I would get cookies shipped and they stayed fresh! I would highly recommend Abbate for any baked goods you need.

Even though I…read morearrived later than the suggested pickup time, my food was still warm when I got home -- which was a pleasant surprise! I ordered the blue raspberry lemonade, and it was the perfect combo -- not too sweet and not too tart. Such a delightful mix. Whenever I'm in town, I have to grab some kind of pork roll sandwich. This time I went with the Double Nooker on an everything bagel, toasted and scooped with SPK (salt, pepper, and ketchup). Yum, yum, yum. There's a lot of food packed in there, but having the bagel scooped made it the perfect amount -- super satisfying without feeling overly stuffed or risking a tummy ache. The spot itself is open concept and has tons of space if you want to sit and eat there, which makes it great whether you're grabbing something to go or staying to enjoy your meal.

I didn't see regular scallion cream cheese so I got bacon scallion cc on an everything bagel. They loaded on the cream cheese but the bagel itself was very average in quality. Service is very slow and the staff moves with no urgency. I liked that they have a self-serve coffee bar. Will probably be back only if it's convenient.

We were exploring the area and discovered this place. There's street parking and pay-per-parking…read morelots nearby so nothing dedicated but it is in a relatively high pedestrian traffic area. It was larger than I expected and a little overwhelming. There seemed to be only one person working on Labor Day (or that was the case when we were there in the afternoon) and two cash registers. The one on the right appeared to be for drinks and ice cream, the one straight ahead for donuts. She was always helping out people with ice cream and we headed towards the back where there was a substantial display of donuts. They have plenty of tables and chairs plus outdoor seating so good for parties of all sizes. They do have gluten free and vegan donuts, but their donuts are NOT both vegan and gluten free which meant one of my kids could not partake. There is A LOT to choose from but we ended up getting: CRUMBLE ME APPLE: light and not too sweet. The crumble gave a nice textural contrast, the donut was good, and it was filled with a tart apple filling that I thought really made it delicious. There was also a sticky caramel (?) drizzle but it was very light and melded with everything else. Excellent donut choice. CINNAMON & SUGAR KRONUT: I asked for recommendations because I couldn't decide and the girl recommended a kronut. I've had my share of cronuts/kronuts (croissant donuts) but am always open to trying more variations. This donut was large, light, and had decent lamination. I didn't find it too greasy, sweet, or heavy and I actually really enjoyed it! ARE YOU CEREAL?: my daughter picked this. She really liked it and said it was "amazing". I didn't taste it but it definitely looks sweeter than the ones I chose for the adults. At least she likes it? Donuts were $4.75 each so it adds up fast, but the ones I tasted were quite good! They have restrooms in the back but you need to request a key to access them. You have to be a customer. They were out of toilet paper and paper towels but they do have a hand dryer. The only downside is they aren't very clean. Tables looked okay though it was highly dependent on the table, but floors were sticky. Not sure if we came at the wrong time or they were just understaffed. The girl working at the time was really nice and sweet so no issues with service itself. Overall, a great place to get donuts that taste good and aren't too sweet (depending on what you get). I'm glad we came across this place!
