Shore Good Donuts

Whenever I visit the tri-state area, I naturally crave pizza and bagels -- no doubt they're the…read morebest here. However, I've developed gluten intolerance and it's hard to find places that offer options that accommodate celiac and gluten sensitive folks. I found that Surfside offered gluten free bagels and wanted to give a pork roll, egg, and cheese with salt, pepper, and ketchup. I was worried they wouldn't have any since I came late into off-season, but luckily they had plain and everything as bagel options. We took two orders of PREC w/ SPK - one on a GF everything bagel, one on a GF plain bagel. The GF bagels tasted almost like sandwich buns, but overall the breakfast bagel hit the spot without causing any terrible reactions. The everything bagel's seasoning definitely made it more subtle of the fact that it was gluten free. There's no seating at this place so it's more grab and go. They also offer coffee but I didn't opt for any. What's nice about the inside are the cool gift items they offer as well as the literal surf shop ambiance -- felt almost as if you were inside a shop in Hawaii. Price is premium in general on the island. There was a $4 upcharge for gluten free bagels so altogether we paid an extra $8. Total was around $25, but again during off season, we feel for the business as things start to slow down. Happy to support island businesses as long as the service is friendly and the food is great! Will give Surfside another chance next summer!

Great coffee, pastries, and sandwiches! Awesome service! The women behind the counter was friendly…read moreand gave tons of recommendations for activities and must-stop places along the island. Will definitely be stopping here again!

I grabbed an iced vanilla latte with milk and cold foam. He informed me he couldn't add milk and I had to do it myself. I was. A bit confused by that as I saw plenty drinks come out with milk. Once getting my coffee the cold foam was on top so it was very difficult to add the milk. The experience just felt confusing and the coffee tasted watered down. This place has been recommended to me by many people. Next time I plan to ask them what and how to order and hopefully it'll be better the second time around. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating!

We walked in and the place smelled delicious and the staff person smiled and greeted us right away though she was helping another customer. The place is a little small, but you don't need a lot of space when everything is to go. My son ordered a small vanilla iced latte and I ordered a cappuccino. The treats all looked really tasty so we also got a piece of blueberry crumb cake. Prices were a bit steep, but I always chalk this up to 'Island Pricing.' My cappuccino was also small for the price. The coffee's were both, however, very tasty. The blueberry crumb cake was delicious and fresh...even though we were there after noon. All in all, I'd say the quality and friendly atmosphere will bring me back with Wifey...

First, you have to understand that Barnegat Light is a pretty quiet location anyway. But come to this shop, step up to the porch and into the store.

My parents went back on their own trip and ordered a pork roll & cheese on a Kaiser roll sandwich (see pic for the ample serving size) and mentioned they had a morning/mid-day live musician serenading them while they ate outside. So fun! They offer outdoor seating and also lunch (I believe they close around 2p). Parking for most of these spots on the shore can be found on the street, although walkable pending where you're staying down the shore. Highly recommend!

I stopped by around 11am and quickly realized they had absolutely nothing out. They really close at 11 and just sell leftovers till 12. They had a few donuts so I got some to try but not much to pick from at all. When I asked about lunch sandwiches that I heard people raving about, they told me after Covid they never reopened that part of the deli. So they said they could still make a breakfast sandwich. I passed on the offer but my boyfriend got a Taylor ham egg and cheese on a bagel. It was really sad to look at, not a good sandwich overall. Would've been better off at WaWa. The donuts were decent but I definitely have had better on the island. I can appreciate how fresh they are but that's about it. Overall the staff was nice and the donuts were fresh but with hours so limited and no sandwiches available, I probably won't be back.

Very overrated. The photos in ads show a variety of donuts. What these really are, a very basic donut, sitting in a warming tray and then dipped in variety of toppings. They aren't bad but they are really just a step above franchise donut shop products. They are very expensive for what they are, close to $30 for a dozen. You will also be hit with another 3% if you pay by credit card. Most of the flavors we ordered didn't even taste like anything, just very sweet toppings. If you are on LBI, you would do better to go to Crust N Crumb, who have incredible donuts. read more
