Hard roll is apparently baked in-house, as are most (all?) of the baked goods. Warning: still cash only, and no free refills on the drinks (except for coffee and maybe unsweet ice tea). Otherwise, with friendly service and the oldest of old school Asbury Park vibes, this place is perfection.

The pork roll grilled perfectly and there was plenty on the roll. The roll was so fresh. The service was good. They only take cash. The ambiance of the deli was busy for a Saturday morning.

I have a friend who lived in Wall, so she was naturally the go-to for recommendations for our…read morelittle drive down to Asbury Park. She recommended Cardinal Provisions, which had a great menu, so onward we went. It was perhaps major hubris on my end to show up at 11am and not expect a 1.5 hour wait. Well, we put our names down and took a walk to the Boardwalk. We ended up heading back a little before the 1.5 hour mark because the website where I was tracking our progress on the waitlist stopped working. We were seated at an outside table, but it was way too sunny, so I asked to be moved. They were able to accommodate us within 10-15 minutes. My mom and I opted to split two dishes, because neither of us could decide on what to order. We had the Cacio e Pepe Scrambled Eggs with breakfast sausage and garlic toast, and the Blueberry Skillet Cake with blueberry salted honey butter. First of all, our waiter did warn us that the skillet cake was huge, but we still wanted it anyways. It was, indeed, huge. But so good. Like a fluffy cake. The Cacio e Pepe eggs were phenomenal and I need to figure out how to make these at home. Service was attentive without being overbearing and we were never rushed. I think coming after 1pm is definitely the best time, since there were significantly less people waiting.

We were seated right away on a Thursday afternoon on their front sidewalk patio. I ended up ordering the Green Machine bowl (normally vegan and gluten free) but added grilled chicken to it. It was delicious! A combo of roasted broccoli, warm lentils, parsley pesto, avocado, and marinated kale. Everything was cooked perfectly, and while this is basically something I make on rotation at home, I loved the pesto sauce and will definitely be trying to replicate that on my own. Perfect lunch that left my full and not even a little sluggish. They do have a few drinks on the menu like kombucha, cold brew, and sodas, but if you are looking for anything more than that in the coffee arena, you'll need to pop by a neighboring cafe afterwards. Service was friendly but not too fast. It was a busy day and we were in no rush, so we didn't mind. All in all, a great place for a delicious brunch.

Hoagitos is one of my go-to spots in the area! My favorites are the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich,…read moreChipotle Chicken Sandwich, and the Double Smashburger. I'll occasionally get the Nashville Hot, but that one really packs a kick, so consider the warning, haha. I always order in person and they whip it up in a matter of minutes. I've never eaten in, but they have indoor and outdoor seating and always have some good indie/rock playing on the radio for those who want a sit-down meal. I've probably ordered here close to 100 times and have only have 2 order issues. I brought it to the management's attention the last time and they were super professional and took care of it ASAP. My only other gripe is that they don't have bleu cheese for the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. Overall, 5 stars all day long, no doubt about it!
