HOWELL: Dog friendly and healthy? A perfect combination!…read more Ready Set Juice is a new restaurant featuring cold pressed juices, smoothies, bowls, toasts, salads, and cleanses! Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed to dine inside the really beautiful and naturally decorated dining space. Veteran-owners, the couple Mangeli and John are the sweetest and most helpful in ensuring your food is fresh, high quality, and will make you feel good. Not only that, but they also offer fruit arrangements and bouquets! We loved the loaded avocado toast, berry toast, and Brie gobbled down her peanut butter toast! They just launched a great new website where you can order online for pickup or delivery! Located in the Howell Plaza Shopping Center right on Route 9 South.

OMG!!! I was…read moreintroduced to this fantastic Juice/Smoothie Shop by my Mini-Me.. the love of finding new places to enjoy has definitely not been lost on her. She told me I needed to check it out! So this past 6/10, I did just that. EVIDENTLY, we like the same stuff in our smoothies too, because the owner asked if my daughters name was (name) and I said yes! LOL So here's the scoop, the owners wife came up with the delicious recipes and I have only had the Caramel Apple and it was so refreshing. Now, my Mini-Me has been going here practically every day and also picking up healthy juices and smoothies for her co-workers at a local (Auto Mall) so, you have to know, that these tasty smoothies are Certified Delicious!! Now, they don't open until 9:30 am, but hopefully this changes in the future for those of us who like juices/ smoothies to get our day started. BUT.... if you are looking for a new healthy lunch option, did I mention they have some great healthy salad options, Avocado toasts, or grab a meal replacement Smoothie. They even offer 3 or 6 day juice wellness cleanse and monthly Juice and Memberships. Support this new healthy business and enjoy.

Most of the customers seem to be local women from Lakewood. They basically have soup, salads, and freshly made juice options. I kind of wish that the salad had been made to order because I like my veggies crunchy, but there were only available out of the fridge. However, once I tried it, it tasted as if it had been recently prepared. My buddy liked his smoothie and tuna sandwich. All the food is meatless since it's a dairy restaurant. The way you order seemed a little confusing to me because different items came from different places. The food prices were also very expensive, but kosher food always is. I liked how the whole place has a new and clean feel.

BRICK: walking into California Cold Co. feels like stepping into a perfectly timed midday reset…read morewith buzzing energy, great music, and a crowd happily fueling up on caffeine. Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome inside as well as at the outdoor tables, making it an easy stop for you and your pup. Their craft drinks are thoughtfully made, with a mix of everyday favorites and creative seasonal specials, plus light bites to round out your visit. We loved spotting a couple of other dogs soaking up the outing with their families, always a good sign you have found a gem. They also have a location in Manalapan, so you have got options when the craving hits.

I had heard about California Cold Co. a couple of times and finally decided to try it out. I first…read morewent to the Brick location of California Cold Co. and ordered a matcha. They had a special matcha for a limited time called the Applejacks matcha, so I ordered that. I had them take off the white chocolate and do oat milk because I'm vegan. I absolutely loved it. It was so delicious and flavorful, and it was the best flavored matcha I had had in a long time. I do love regular, traditional matcha with no flavoring, so I'm not talking about that. I'm just talking about a flavored matcha that was so good. After a couple of weeks, I went to the Manalapan location and had the same matcha. While it was not as good as the Brick one, I didn't really hold that against them. Then a couple of weeks later, I went back to the Brick location and they told me they didn't have matcha because they ran out. They said their customers who really love matcha were not happy about it either, and that they didn't know when they were going to get it back in. That's why I took away one star. They are a business and should make an effort to always have matcha available. Matcha not being available one day is one thing, but not having it and not knowing when it's coming back is another thing. I just don't think that's acceptable. Besides that, this place is really good. Their drinks seem really creative. I've mostly only had the matcha because I love matcha. It also seems like a really nice place to sit and study, and it always seems clean. The day they didn't have the matcha, I got a chai tea instead and it wasn't that great, so I know not to get the chai again. Overall, I do like California Cold Co. a lot and I hope the whole matcha thing doesn't happen again. It seems like a really good, solid place.

I have been there about three times already and enjoyed my choices! The cafe itself is simple and clean looking. The theme is New Jersey. All the juices have NJ towns as their names. From the variety of juices, so far I tried the Hoboken Harvest and the Garden State Greens. I have to say that I grabbed the Garden State Greens without looking at the ingredients and started to I drink it and was shocked to not taste sweet. It has a pleasant taste, even though there is no apple or any other fruit. I would get it again! The smoothie I am obsessed with right now is the Blueberry PB Chocolate Protein Smoothie.

Deep in Lakewood Township, you will find this shake shop cloistered away in a small shopping…read morecenter. Originally, I planned to go to another eatery, but discovered that it did not have a dining area, so I settled with this one. Brand: 5/5 Peyrot Assortment is located in Chateau Plaza in Lakewood Township and it sells fruit drinks, milkshakes, and pastries. The green perfectly encapsulates the brand, along with the cursive font. It has a clearly noticeable form, even as it dangled above the entrance despite its shortness. Website: 5/5 The main page makes a good impression on anyone who comes upon it. The green color scheme gives the website a calm, casual vibe. It also offers you a glimpse into the interactive map. While the most of the menu items do not have their own images on the Get Sauce app, since the menu selections are easy to understand based on the images it already has. Wait Time: 5/5 The preparation of the milkshake came immediately. Ambiance: 4/5 The shiny, opaque tables greet you, despite the fact that one I sat at did wobble, though I had no issues seating. The tables did come too close to each other, though I would discover they are not fastened to the floor. The menu selections accurately reflect Peyrot Arrangements' brand, for you will find an arrangement of shakes, from fruit to milk, encapsulated within a menu easy to understand. Throughout the establishment, you will hear Jewish music in both Hebrew and English that soothes your experience inside with a tolerable volume. Drink: 5/5 I ordered the Mochaccino Milkshake, which was not available on their website but on their physical menu. I will say that it did have a pleasant taste, since the mochaccino syrup provided a rich texture to the drink. The milk and the mochaccino had a well-mixed preparedness. Pertaining to form, nothing about the syrup tasted stale, rather it had a warm heat. The drink maintained that ideal temperature between warm and cold, making it tolerable. Service: 5/5 I felt well-accommodated throughout my time in Peyrot Arrangements. The owner helped adjust the tables, letting me know that they could be moved. Cost: 3/5 The shakes in any form reflect the brand perfectly. In some ways, the cursive font has that tropical homage to the tropical shakes they offer. While the Mochaccino Milkshake appeared simple, it did add value to the brand. The website also reflects the brand when it comes to the aesthetics and the menu selection. The preparation of the Mochaccino Milkshake was consistent with the taste, and the service ensured the mochaccino syrup decorated the interior of the cup. Throughout my dining time, nothing about the ambiance troubled me. Based on my first impressions, I will say that Peyrot Arrangements made a good impression with the menu and the ambiance. The website itself has an inviting presentation with the green logo. I did not worry about the ambiance while waiting, for it did not try my patience. The ambiance could benefit from more attention given to it. As someone not from Lakewood, I not only take into account the price of the food, but also the experience and the travel getting there. I cannot say with utmost certainty that I would return by negotiating through Lakewood's notorious traffic. While I did have an overall pleasant experience, I will say that the overall price was worth it somewhat. Rating: 4/5 Stars I thought that the experience made my journey to Lakewood worth it, but only a little. If I do find myself in Lakewood, I would consider Peyrot Arrangements to be a third choice. Recommend To... Anyone looking for a shake while on the Lakewood highway.

They offer small, medium, and large but I've always gotten the medium bc the Large is HUGE. They add a decent amount of boba to every drink so there's enough boba per drink (I've even finished my drink sometimes with a lot of boba left over!) I personally love the tea based boba so I order the tea with boba added in. Adding the boba to the tea drinks does come with and extra charge but I think it's worth it! So far I've tried both the peach and pomegranate teas and loved them both. The teas are a bit sugary on there own so I like that the boba balances out the flavor. The location is very nice, while it is a little kiosk type place in the mall there is ample seating near the place and other places to sit around the mall. Overall, I love this place and I think it's a good value for your money!

A few weeks back we googled their address and wound up at their new drive-thru location also in Lakewood accidentally. We went through the very busy drive-tru ordered an everything bagel w/ veggie cream cheese and a lox salmon sandwich w veggies. Then when I got up to the window to pay I noticed a few trays of donuts. I asked the guy if he could add two donuts only to have him reply "we're really busy man", I said "ok forget it then!" How hard is it to add two donuts? Anyway he grabs a random two, boxes them and charges me $4 additional. I said "you didn't ask which I wanted", he said "I gave u the best two". They sucked. They were hard and lacked flavor. 1 was cream filled the other just a chocolate glazed. I liked the texture but that was it. The sandwiches were very small and lacked flavor. Cream cheese was very watery. I asked that my lox sandwich have all the veggies offered. I got pickles and tomatoes. Weird. Anyway yesterday we wound up at this location that we've been wanting to try from the beginning. Upon walking in it was impressive. Lots of pastries and donuts showcased. A big bar in the front with all different types of tuna salads, cream cheeses and veggies. Very appealing to the eyes. I noticed the small bagels again in the baskets, no surprise. But we went for it again. I ordered a lox sandwich with tomato, onion, capers and cream cheese. Wife everything bagel with veggie cream cheese. Again the bagels are no bigger than the palm of your hand, cream cheese is very loose, salmon was a sufficient amount without much flavor and as I waited for our order a cockroach walked along the counter in front of me which the owner/ manager quickly smashed with his hand. This is not uncommon in the food industry so I wasn't too upset although I did consider leaving. In summary, the drive-tru location was still under construction. This location was easy in the eyes and had a nice set-up. Bagels are not the big, chunky NYC bagels many of us are used to. They're no bigger than the palm of your hand. Cream cheese is weird. Prices are fair. I won't be returning.

Along Route 9 in Lakewood Township, you will find a cozy cafe. I have been wanting to come there…read moreever since discovering it on Yelp. Brand: 5/5 From the sign to the wooden logo to the solid font, Kava Coffee House maintains a cozy aesthetic as a cafe in Lakewood. It is formally certified as a kosher eatery by the Kashrus Council of Lakewood, NJ. You will also find the wood theme plays out in the interior as well, with wooden panels and the wooden signs. Website: 5/5 The opening page offers you a glimpse into the classy design, from the images to the cool color scheme to the overall theme. I did like the interactive pages of the online menu. Kava powers the website through Order2, which has an advanced online ordering system. It also takes you to the basic description of the business, which discusses the cozy atmosphere and the extensive food selection. Wait Time: 5/5 I experienced no issues or delays with my order. Indeed, the establishment uses the name basis when announcing the order. Ambiance: 4/5 I did like the smooth jazz playing over the radio and the authentic fireplace at the center of the establishment, warming it during the winter. The wood panels on the floors and the walls evoke the cozy vibe of a cafe. Around noon, the establishment can get noisy and cluttered, though it did not prove cumbersome compared to the rickety table. I did not have any issue with the seats nor the space within the medium-sized dining area. Drink: 5/5 I ordered the Kava Supreme Frappuccino, which is their signature frappuccino, consisting of cookies & cream, caramel, peanut butter, blended with coffee, and ice cream, topped with whip cream, drizzle, and cookie crumble. It definitely has a sweet taste, but it did not overwhelm me, despite having so many ingredients. The caramel and the coffee did give it the spicy aftertaste. The ice cream did give it a smooth texture without making the frappuccino tedious to drink. Service: 5/5 I did not experience any issue with the staff. They did have patience with me when I blanked out on my order and had to return to the menu to remember what I wanted. Worth The Money?: 3/5 The Kava Supreme Frappuccino encapsulated the brand succinctly within a signature drink. The way the website uses interactive pages manages to introduce anyone to the menu items, including a section dedicated to their specialty dishes, in such a way unique to the establishment. The wait time it took to make the Kava Supreme Frappuccino matched the quality, and it did not feel tedious with nothing about the ambiance interfering my experience. The staff put a lot of effort into their dishes, and the specialty drinks are no exception. Based on my first impressions, I will say that Kava Coffee House managed to get me in a good mood with its fireplace and the smooth music. That good mood stayed with me throughout the time I enjoyed the Kava Supreme Frappuccino. The website reflects the ambiance of the business with its overall design. While the staff cooking in the background can be tedious if you sit too close to the kitchen, the noise did not burden me. Would I say that the price was worth it? I will say that I would have gotten a drink like the Kava Supreme Frappuccino to cost the same regardless of the cafe, however the other menu items did prove beyond my personal budget. Considering the maintenance of the website design and the fireplace, I will say that the ambiance and website do justify the high prices, but only a little. Rating: 5/5 Stars Between four or five stars, I ultimately chose five stars, because the experience going to Kava Coffee House made their signature drink worth it. Its taste stayed with me throughout the day. A lot of care has been put on Kava Coffee House and I have hope that it will continue to serve Lakewood Township. Recommend To... Anyone who is looking for a quick coffee without buying any additional snacks.
