These interactive simulators were fun to use, easy to learning, and within a few strokes, I was getting my ball on the fairway. I typically use the trackman simulators and these were very similar. I picked a course in Korea and played a full 18 within an hour. Thanks to Theo, who introduced me to the simulators, and answered all my questions and got me started. While you're there, you should also check out their golf boutique, and also practice your putting on their indoor putting zone. If you're feeling parched, try out their strawberry lemonade, or their caramel macchiato. I give Both a thumbs up and food, I tried out the double bulgogi Smashburger. Very delicious with their homemade Bulgogi sauce. Overall, had a great time, I would definitely come back again, and I plan to!

There are so few small business cafes in the area, I was relieved to find Habibi Motor Cafe…read more I stopped by here to kill some time in between appointments and thought it would be the perfect spot. With the rising population of Arab folks in the area, I loved seeing the way the culture was sprinkled in the cafe. The racing theme was cute and the drink was so good. I can't quite remember what it was called but it was coconut water and matcha. My main complaint was how small everything is, which the cafe itself cannot help. They were making the most of their space with seating and I was not able to get a seat. The cafe was filled with college students despite it being early August! I will definitely be stopping by whenever I can.

Being Middle Eastern myself, I liked the unique concept and knew I had to stop by when we were in the area. We arrived around 5pm and it was extremely loud & busy. The atmosphere and seating gives relaxing environment, but in reality, there were people with laptops (on a Saturday), kids running around, and generally the acoustics inside aren't great. Nonetheless, we placed an order and grabbed a table. I got the Iced Crème Brûlée Latte which was very well executed. It's rich, bold, and had notes of vanilla and burnt caramel. They definitely nailed the crème brûlée flavor. Even the Cortado was nicely presented and soothing. I liked that the flavor profile in the espresso was not overpowered by the milk or extraction process. I was also bummed that they didn't have their cool cups that say "Habibi" on them! Their branding is one of the things that caught my eye about them and it sucks to see them switching to nonbranded cups (assuming for cost reasons). Overall, it was worth a try!

It was definitely busy and a little noisy, so I probably wouldn't choose it as a place to sit and get work done, but it's perfect for grabbing coffee or breakfast, or meeting up with friends. The horchata overnight oats were SO good--easily the highlight for me. They were unique and so delicious. I could eat them every day. I also got a cold brew with coconut cold foam. The cold brew itself was really good--smooth and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. The cold foam was just okay; I thought it was a little weak in both flavor and texture and would've loved it to be fluffier and more flavorful. Still, I enjoyed the drink overall. Service was incredibly quick, especially considering how busy they were. Our coffee and food came out almost immediately. Such a cute beachy coffee spot and the perfect pit stop before heading to the shore. I'd absolutely come back, especially for those horchata overnight oats!

Luckily we are usually able to find street parking within walking distance. Inside is quite spacious with lots of seating.

Their peanut butter mocha is yummy! Another bonus for me is their family-friendly atmosphere with a baby-changing area in their restroom and the fact that there is a playground right across! One of the top reasons we appreciate this establishment aside from visit-worthy service, drinks and bites! aaand close the beach! lots of WINS!!

(The most alarming part of this statement should be that businesses in 2016 still use fax machines.) Xtreme Healthy Café is still attached to the Xtreme Fitness center next door and has remained open in spite of the gym's closure last year. Not really a standalone restaurant, this business has managed to stay afloat by catering lunches to local businesses and by serving breakfast and lunch to Raritan Center convention attendees and employees who work on the Raritan Center campus but are too lazy to venture farther for more exciting lunch options. Because of its remote location in the desolate industrial desert that is Raritan Center, Xtreme Healthy doesn't see enough customer traffic to justify being open for dinner or even on weekends. For a fitness center café that no longer has a fitness center, the food and service are mostly passable, but there are better choices at better prices outside of Raritan Center. Unless you work nearby and enjoy bumping into coworkers, there's really no reason to ever come out of your way to eat here.

10/24/25 - Watching New York Rangers hockey in 2025 will drive you to comfort food. So off I went…read moreto another pizzeria. Today's stop was a place in Sayreville, NJ called Mia's Pizza Restaurant. Mia's is located in a strip mall at the corner of Bordentown Av. and Jernee Mill Road. Normally, when you look at a front window of a restaurant and see two different varieties of food, you should run away. Mia's boasts both Italian and Mexican food. What I've learned thru the years is, if you say you can make great Mexican food and great Italian food, then you can't make great anything. I ordered one plain slice and one sausage slice and hoped for the best. I was actually optimistic because every table in this place was taken. The good: Both the outer crust and undercarriage were spectacular. Crispy, crunchy and stood up perfectly with no limpness whatsoever. The crust is not dry at all. And the slices are big. Thank goodness I ordered a sausage slice as the sausage added a flavor punch that these slices badly needed. The problems: the sauce is pretty bland. It has a slight hint of basil flavor but there was no other Italian seasoning flavors that I could taste or even see. It also wouldn't hurt if they used a bit more sauce. The cheese is premium but like the sauce, they could use a bit more of it. There isn't a menu in sight. They have a menu board above the front counter. There are no prices on it however. If you aren't going to put out paper menus, then you really need to put prices on the menu board so your customers don't get unpleasant surprises. As much as I wanted to like this place, it just doesn't cut it. They do nothing to differentiate themselves from the stiff local competition. Overall Rating: C

Fresh. Good quality. Too many places charge 9-10 dollars for small half subs. We decided we would order an eggplant Parmesan hero. I was not disappointed. It was loaded with piping hot, freshly fried, eggplant and loaded with cheese and sauce. Both my husband and I were thrilled. We hoped it wasn't a fluke so after a few more times of trying them, we were still satisfied. I will say one day I ordered a cheesesteak for pick up and the normal cook must have been off. The sandwich was lacking steak... it had a thin layer. Since this only happened once, I'll chalk it up to a rough shift and leave it at that. Mostly, we had been enjoying their hot subs because no one around here had a good one (not even Krispy). We spent the last 6 months or so trying hot subs. Every time they were very good. We were apprehensive about trying their pizza, since We already know where to get a really good pie. Finally, we decided to try a pizza and a Stromboli. The eggplant Stromboli was soft and amazing. The dough felt like it was just made. I loved it. We ordered their traditional works pizza. It was good. Frankly, I'll have to order another pie to give you a better review. I'm still dreaming of the Stromboli. I don't know if my lack of opinion reflects a mediocre pizza or a fantastic Stromboli but I promise I'll update when I order another one. Either way, I think you'll enjoy. We do.

I decided to stay somewhat local and headed over to Vinnie's Pizza in East Brunswick, NJ. I've been to Vinnie's a few times since moving here with mixed results but i understand it's under new ownership. I ordered two large pies (I told ya the crew was hungry so don't judge )--- one plain and one pepperoni. The good: The sauce is plentiful. It's more of a sweet sauce than my preferred tangy style but it's seasoned perfectly. You taste the oregano and basil in each bite. The cheese is also plentiful and it is premium. The outer crust is a bit short on flavor but not bad enough to call it a deal breaker. It's only a little crispy and very moist on the inside. If you're thinking the lack of crispiness would cause the the slices to wilt, surprisingly you'd be incorrect. The slices stand up nicely! I folded the outer crust and there was no toppings sliding off and no oil drip. The bad: The policy they have here requires a 4% surcharge on all cards--- debit or credit. I've seen other places do this and it annoys me every time. Just build the 4% into the menu price and stop making me feel like you're nickel and diming me. Also, the pies could be cooked a few minutes longer to give the crust a crunchier texture. If you're local to East Brunswick, this place is worth a trip for a taste test. But I'm not sure this is what I'd call a destination pizzeria. Give it a shot--- you wont be disappointed. Overall Rating: B+
