Hudson Coffee is a cute little subsidiary of Hudson Cafe in Atlantic Highlands (also fantastic,…read morewhich has a larger breakfast menu / space.) Hudson Coffee is great for fresh grab and go coffee, scones, and cookies. The scones change daily- so be sure to follow them on social media for updates. Personally i love their chocolate chip and cinnamon chip. In terms of coffee, I love their Caramel Cream cold brew ($5) and my husband always gets the mint ($4)! He did try toasted almond ($4) today, which he said was just as good. Their coffee is reasonably priced (IMO) and their staff is always pleasant. They also have a reward program for a free coffee after you purchase ten. Do be aware, this is CASH ONLY! Pros: fresh reasonable coffee & pastries, friendly staff, and reward stamp card! Cons: cash only Overall, I highly recommend Hudson for a quick pastry and coffee!

First, the coffee is fabulous, strong, smooth, and rich. The regular coffee, the espresso, the cold brew, and the nitro, you won't go wrong with any of them. Next is the food. The breakfast sandwiches are hearty and delicious. My bacon, egg, & cheese on a croissant wasn't skimpy, it was generously filled, and filling! They also offer lunch sandwiches, muffins, croissants, huge doughnuts, very large cookies, various pastries & even cake pops! It's a tough decision when all the pastries are on display, because everything is so tempting. The Cafe is comfortable with several different seating groups, from a table with chairs to a cozy sofa. Then there is the staff, friendly, welcoming, and just nice! I also like that the Cafe opens early each day at 7am so that I can get my fix early in the day, and if I need an afternoon pick-me-up, they're open until 5pm. As I'm finishing up my afternoon cold brew, I'm already contemplating my next visit and order...seriously, Keyport Coffee Cafe is the bomb!

I stopped in for lunch and loved finding a cute & clean space with murals on the wall and a few tables to sit. After asking for a bit of advice and opinions on some of their favorites from the menu, we got a little bit of everything.. Two smoothies, a chicken salad sandwich and a few empanadas. Everything was delicious! The Surtido (or Market Boost) smoothie was so fruity and flavorful, you'd think it was loaded with sugar. And the pan con pollo (chicken salad sandwich) was so simple and tasty. Loved that it had some lettuce, celery and little chips added to it for a bit of a crunch. And all on some good bread. Excited to return for coffee and another smoothie. Happy to have another great breakfast/lunch spot on my radar!

The ice cream is good, but on the sweeter side and does have a sugary aftertaste. There are many flavors and toppings so the combinations are limitless! I have seen that they offer milkshakes, plus other items such as sundaes and cakes and ice cream sandwiches you can take home. The ambience is simple, it's a widow serving set up, and you can walk or grab a bench to enjoy your treat.

The combination of good food and excellent service make this a go-to place anytime of the year. Personally I'd rather go to small business owners who are compassionate in their craft and take time out to ask how the food was and talk a little about themselves and when they started their businesses. These are the backbone of our economy. Would I go back to Lenora's Cafe? That's for sure and try out more mouth-watering dishes anytime of the year!

June 6 was my birthday, and after celebrating the night before at a lovely restaurant in the city,…read moreI found myself with no plans on my actual birthday. I decided I wanted to treat myself to a little cake. I usually visit a local bakery for cakes, mini desserts, and cannolis. It's generally pretty good, although it can be a bit hit or miss depending on what you order. While searching online for bakeries nearby, this place came up with stellar reviews. I was surprised to see it was only about an 11-minute drive from my house, so I decided to make the trip. The bakery was set up much like a classic neighborhood bakery, with beautiful cakes displayed along one side and cases filled with mini desserts, pastries, cookies, and cannolis. While chatting with the staff, I mentioned the bakery I usually go to. That's when they told me that bakery actually gets its cakes from Normandie. I found that fascinating because I had always assumed every bakery made its own cakes from scratch. Suddenly, a lot made sense. I had originally planned on buying a small birthday cake, but since it was only for two people, I decided to put together an assortment of mini desserts instead. I picked up tiramisu, carrot cake, lemon cake, and several other mini cakes. Every single one was outstanding. Not one dessert missed the mark. The carrot cake was moist, the tiramisu was perfectly balanced, and the lemon cake was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, high-quality, and thoughtfully made. The minis were slightly smaller than the ones I'm used to buying elsewhere, but honestly, they were the perfect size. Now that I know where those cakes are actually coming from, I'll happily make the extra 11-minute drive and buy directly from the source. This will absolutely be my new go-to bakery for birthdays, special occasions, and hostess gifts. A wonderful birthday discovery that turned into finding my new favorite bakery.

They looked great. Got home and just now was going to make lunch with them. I have to say so disappointed. I asked for two "hard" rolls and boy did I get them. They were more like day old hard rolls . Instead of being crispy they were rotted it seemed. Completely fell apart, crumbled at touch . No crunch or crispiness and my fingers pushed thru the outside surfaces like going into cardboard. Crumbled and felt so stale under these circumstances had to be at the minimum day old left out dried up rolls. I had heard they went down a bit down the "old" Dixie Lee, but this was embarrassing. Sorry David Burke, I expected so much more from you... I learned my lesson today.. off to J&M where I should have gone to begin with. And it's a shame. 3 yrs ago I was a fan. Not any more...

We were quickly and warmly greeted by the young woman working behind the desk. She was finishing up an order and then took ours. I always stick to my tried and true favorite of Thai milk tea with boba. I would give my Thai tea a 4/5- it was tasty, but lacked a bit of the stronger/earthy flavors other Thai teas have. My husband got the pineapple tea. He forgot to request boba, so his was just the drink without the bubbles. I liked the stronger flavor of his tea more than mine. The cups were adorable, with cat shaped covers and ears popping up. If you are heading down the shore and are in the mood for a bubble tea, this is a good option. They also offer tangulu (fruit dipped in crunchy, clear sugar coating). We did not try it this time, but I will definitely be back to give it a taste. Very unique menu item that isn't found in many others places!
