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.

You will find this Mexican restaurant in Collingwood Flea Market. I never knew to come here…read morethroughout the years coming to the flea market, but I did it for the first time. Brand: 4/5 Sister's Restaurant has served Collingwood Flea Market for more than 10 years as a Mexican restaurant. I like the signs both in English and Spanish. The logo itself has a simple welcome to the restaurant upon a wine-red banner. You know what you are clearly getting yourself with this type of logo. The multicolored blankets and sombreros upon the upper parts of the restaurant definitely invite anyone to come in. Wait Time: 5/5 I had no issues with waiting for my order. Ambiance: 5/5 The menu selection upon the wall gives you a choice from a couple of Mexican staple foods without overwhelming you. Just like the other Mexican restaurant in the flea market, once you step inside, you could barely notice the rest of the flea market despite not having any walls. While inside barely had any tables, they did have enough space between them. I did not notice that splotch on that one table when photographing the interior, but it does not change the score since most of the tables have a plastic sheet over them. Compared to the other tables, my smaller table could barely contain my gloves and notebook, but I did not have an issue with it nor with the chair. Food: 4/5 I ordered the Breakfast Burrito, packed with eggs and specifically served with sausage as the meat, along with a Mexican brand of apple soda. While the soft wrap did hold its form throughout my time at the restaurant, I did think the burrito had more wrap than meat. The eggs and sausage did a hearty taste typical of well-cooked meats. With all that said, the Breakfast Burrito reflects the overall brand of Sister's Restaurant in that it represents Mexican cuisine with a twist. Plenty of Mexican restaurants over Breakfast Burritos, so I cannot say that this one had a particularly unique quality to it. Nonetheless, the fact that it had a well-cooked texture meant that the preparation it took quite its time with care. While the food itself brought into a pleasant mood, it only went so far. Service: 5/5 The staff ensured that I received my order while asking questions about whether I wanted ham, sausage, or chorizo. Based on my first impressions going to Sister's Restaurant, I will say that I felt accommodated. While waiting for my order, nothing about the service made me regret ever coming, since they ensured that they cooked my order. They ensured that the order was placed upon a tray for anyone eating in, which helps for more complicated orders. Cost: 3/5 I would say that if I factored in every part of Sister's Restaurant, I would say that plenty of improvement exists. I would suggest offering some backstory to the restaurant itself as to where the name Sister's Restaurant came from (especially since I presume only one sister is involved since it places the apostrophe before the plural "s"). I do not know if I would return to try any of their menu items. Would I say that $9 makes the Breakfast Burrito and the apple soda worth it? Yes, but only slightly. Rating: 4/5 Stars Given the limited choice between four or five stars (since I love working within my limits), I will decide to give Sister's Restaurant a four stars, since I express a little bit of hope that it will continue to represent Collingwood Flea Market. I might consider revisiting as a third choice, but I can see how the brand might expand. With its logo, it maintains a unique yet easily identifiable identity within the flea market. Recommend To... Anyone first coming to Collingwood Flea Market looking for a small eatery to eat at.

Between Farmingdale and Adelphia, you will find the one convenience store that just might bridge…read morethese two communities together. Brand: 3/5 Italian Delights and Spirits has a poignant brand pertaining to the sign. Pertaining to the everything else, it barely outweighs the rest of the establishment. You will find plenty of signs for various products, including spirits. However, they can have bit of an off-putting facade that can turn away potential customers. Ambiance: 4/5 It's okay for a small establishment. I did think that the drinks section had bare-minimum coolness. Nonetheless, the clean floors invite anyone inside, and any line can form between the well-spaced aisles. Italian Delights and Spirits never became too noisy, from either the staff, the customers, or the television. Service: 5/5 The staff accommodated me well, asking me if I needed anything before ordering. Upon ordering, he asked specific questions, such as if the sandwich would have pork roll, and if it had pepper and ketchup or not. Wait Time: 5/5 No interruptions occurred during the wait time. Food: 4/5 I ordered the Pork Roll and Egg Breakfast Sandwich, which consists of two cooked pork rolls, eggs, cheese, pepper, and ketchup, and a bottle of orange juice. The pork rolls, the eggs, and the cheese had a well-cooked texture to them. The buns held their forms quite well. While it did have an unassuming taste, the most prominent tastes came from the tangy ketchup and the spicy pork roll, while the pepper held the second most prominent taste. As expected, you will find a noticeable amount of spirits in the corner of the establishment. You will also find plenty of snacks in the aisles, even as they appear depleted in the present inventory. Worth The Money?: 5/5 When it comes to sandwiches with Italian Delights and Spirits, they offer sandwiches at a reasonable prices. They do rely on Boar's Head, which would explain the low prices. The only products that have Italian origin would be the spirits throughout the store. My suggestions include showing more appearances of that sign like in business cards, and more Italian-inspired sandwiches that best reflect the name of the business. The presence of snacks best reflect the convenience store ambiance, in that they provide a quick lunch/dessert for anyone who walks inside. The barely cold drink section did not dissuade me from buying the orange juice, which turned out to have a pleasant taste, so no noticeable problems exist within the refrigerators. The service clearly tends to their sandwiches with care, considering how well-cooked and well-wrapped the sandwiches were. The wait time had an appropriate amount of time for the preparation of the sandwiches. I passed by Italian Delights and Spirits many times, always believing that they only offered spirits. It turned out that they offered more than just spirits, rather they also offer sandwiches and have their own deli like plenty of other eateries. The staff serves the ambiance well, down to the very conversations they had with each other. The wait time did not feel tedious throughout my experience in the establishment. The Indian television program did give the ambiance a decent vibe. The sandwich and the orange juice cost around $10, which would have been slightly more anywhere else. So, I will say that Italian Delights and Spirits is definitely worth the price, and I would consider it a first choice if I ever find myself driving down Adelphia Road. Rating: 4/5 Stars I entered Italian Delights and Spirits with a low spirit, but left with delight. I gave this establishment a favorable rating because it blew away my expectations. If such a small store was able to exist so long overlooking a road between small towns, then surely I can see hope for its future. Recommend To... Anyone looking for spirits, and cheap sandwiches for caloric absorption. I also recommend it to anyone who lives and/or works in Adelphia and wants to support local businesses, and for anyone who lives and/or works in Farmingdale who wants to try to buy from a small establishment.

Here in Collingwood Flea Market, you will find this Mexican restaurant that stands out within the…read morebuilding where plenty of parts already stand out. In this case, it advertises itself with its hospitality. Brand: 4/5 El Capitan Seafood and Tacos is located in Collingwood Flea Market, noticeable by its orange walls and wooden walls. You will find that El Capitan has two sections with one for ordering and the other being the dining area. The blue-and-orange walls give the dining area a warm, inviting glow, and the straw roof décor gives you somewhat an immersive experience. The brochure features the El Capitan logo, which consisted of a cartoon shrimp mascot holding up a plate with a taco in front of a beach. I do think the mascot works, but the taco was blurred and the realistic beach photo added too much information to the logo. Wait Time: 4/5 Although I experienced no issues or delays, the wait did feel pretty long to the point I started to question whether they took my order. Ambiance: 3/5 I spent a duration of my time within the dining area of El Capitan cloistered away from the rest of the flea market. Shockingly, the noise from the outside did not intrude upon my eating experience too much from the wooden wall. Instead, you will mostly hear Mexican music throughout your dining experience. I did notice an unclean napkin at my table, which did ruin the ambiance somewhat. The seat and the table did not have much of a problem for me, and plenty of space existed between the tables in the dining area. The food selection on El Capitan's menu basically involved traditional Mexican cuisine with a special emphasis on seafood. My limited Spanish knowledge could only decipher which of the menu items were consistent on the multiple menus that exist either on the walls or in the brochure. Food: 5/5 I ordered the chicken chimichanga. The form of the wrap held quite well, requiring me to really cut into it with a knife. Stuffed within the wrap, the chicken had a well-cooked slough, and the seasoned rice gave it a robust zest. The sour cream upon the chimichanga gave it a warm taste, and the green and red salsa gave it spiciness. Every bite, from the ones with the meat to others with only the wrap bits to others with just the rice, managed to fill me up slowly. The chicken chimichanga definitely represented El Capitan in a positive way as a major staple of Mexican cuisine. While I did wait a while, I will say that the chimichanga managed to make the wait worth it. The chimichanga managed to give me a positive mood throughout the day. The service behind making this dish put a lot of care into it, judging by the preparation with the sour cream on top and the sauces on the bottom. Service: 5/5 The staff ensured that I would receive my order, clearly understanding English and asking me specific questions about my order, whether I wanted chicken or steak chimichanga, and if I wanted it to go or to eat there. I had a good first impression, when I admit I had apprehension about going there since I never went there before, with the service making me feel welcome. Nothing about the service try my patience, for they still managed to make a good dish. I can see how the dining area would become an important part of the business, since it could accommodate many people despite being a small spot. As such, the service prioritize that space and the food. Cost: 5/5 Despite the numerous menu items that might confuse anyone, I would absolutely want to return and try the different menu items, whether the tlayudas or the empanadas. My personal suggestions are to have a consistent array of menus on the walls and on the brochure, and to show the brochure logo more often since it would attract more customers. From the food to the dining area, they work the most for the establishment despite its short space. Considering the size and authenticity of the chimichanga, and the experience going there, I will say that the price was worth it. Rating: 4/5 Stars I would absolutely make El Capitan Seafood and Tacos my second choice if I ever return. I have hope for this establishment and how it might expand beyond the flea market. Recommend To... Anyone who goes to Collingwood Flea Market looking for Mexican food, but also looking to fresh up on their Spanish knowledge.

I went to Glatt Bite today for a takeout order for 5 people. The restaurant was clean when I walked…read morein and you know right away it is a take out restaurant. There are multiple kiosks to order food when you walk in. There was a sign, that read 5-10 minutes per order. My order took 20 minutes. The cashier did say the food was getting ready a few times, but it did feel like it took a long time. I ordered a buffalo schnitzel salad, and my friends ordered a few other things. I found the schnitzel (chicken based) sweeter than I expected but it was good quality. I requested the dressing on the salad, which was a mistake. The dressing was good but there was too much, and the salad came out soggy. I would reccommend getting the dressing on the side. Everyone I was with said they enjoyed their food. One last positive was we did get A LOT of food.

Website: 10/10 It compliments an eatery as unique as Glatt Bite well with its simple color scheme and prestigious logo. Functionally, the website is easy to navigate, and scrolls smoothly. Most of the menu items have their own images on the sides. Brand: 8/10 The cursive "GB" signature gives the Glatt Bite brand a fancy prestige. Though, the physical sign outside can be misleading in terms of aesthetics. However, do not let appearances fool you. There is a whole banquet hall just a few steps from the lobby. This banquet hall definitely exhumes the eloquence of a fancy restaurant, for thin fluorescent lights shine throughout the dark walls decorated with horizontal animal canvases. Ambiance: 9/10 The electronica playing over the radio did not become too intrusive. Although nobody came to the banquet hall yet, I can see how it would accommodate 100 people, as the website stated. The tables had a symmetrical alignment on two sides, and were spaced well enough. Although we did not get served directly, we relied on a tablet that takes our order from an app called Curbngo. The app functioned well without any trouble. Service: 10/10 The patient staff accommodated us whenever we needed it, particularly since I never used up-to-date technology in an eatery before. We reserved a seat even though we came minutes before opening. The staff also finalized our orders with friendly candor. Wait Time: 10/10 With the use of Curbngo, any time spent waiting is cut greatly. Even when we waited to place our orders, I took as much time afforded to me to write without interruptions. Food: 9/10 The unique kosher food selection has plenty of culinary influences, from Yiddish to American to Chinese. It is officially certified as a kosher establishment by the Kashrus Council of Lakewood. Indeed, many of the menu items uphold that kosher consistency, with the Chinese-inspired meals containing no pork and the sandwiches containing no cheese. I ordered the zinger sandwich on a roll. It consisted of a well-cooked schnitzel with spicy sauce, Russian dressing, and the vegetables typically found within sandwiches. The zinger sandwich managed to have spiciness that did not overwhelm me. The buns barely retained their form, for this sandwich had plenty of sauce and dressing. Indeed, I can see why it is called a zinger sandwich, for there are so many experiences packed within two buns. The Russian dressing gives it the tangy, savory taste, while the zinger sauce makes it spicy. Comes Together Well?: 10/10 For an eatery with a unique item selection, Glatt Bite definitely proves that dietary restrictions encourage forward-thinking instead of stifles it. Small businesses always have to think and strategize beyond their limitations, and Glatt Bite manages to accomplish this. The use of Curbngo would imply that Glatt Bite started to adapt to COVID-19 with options of either "To Stay" or "To Take Out." It also helped me acclimate to an eatery I never frequented as someone who is painfully introverted. I truly appreciate the establishment taking such bold steps to technologically modernize. Yelp prices Glatt Bite with two dollar signs out of three, and they are not kidding. The high prices might be a disadvantage--if it did not have a reason for them. In the case of the responsive technology, the ambiance, and the aesthetics, I will say that the food is worth the price. I rarely went to any kosher eateries as a Gentile, yet I can say that I was well-accommodated and helped introduce me to new styles of cuisines. Rating: 5/5 Stars Glatt Bite gives me hope that local businesses will always have relevance to the communities they feed. I had a pleasant experience frequenting this establishment. Recommend To... Anyone looking for a unique kosher eatery to frequent, for Glatt Bite uses a lot of culinary influences to its advantage. I also recommend to anyone who has never tried kosher food and wants to experience its creativity. I could also recommend it to anyone looking for catering within a banquet hall with dark walls, however because it is a kosher establishment, you might encounter restrictions depending on your event. It never hurts to ask the owners politely.

I knew that a breakfast shop opened in Farmingdale, but I did not think that they were open…read more Brand: 4/5 Bagels and Brew Company is a breakfast shop in Farmingdale in a plaza nearby the train tracks. Pertaining to branding, it has a simple logo with a cup of coffee and a bagel with the font having an elegant form. The slightly gray color complements the font with a classy display, while the steam becomes its own physical form. The interior does have that cozy cafe feel, with the floor tiles and the tables having dark shades of gray. Website: 4/5 It has a simple design with a black-and-white color scheme. You will find images of the menu items available. The Clover section offers online orders, but there are no images accompanying the menu items. I will say that nonetheless, the website has the establishment off to a decent start thus far, because coming upon it, you get a good first impression of what to expect. Wait Time: 5/5 I read through a single page before my order came incrementally, with the drink prepared first and the course last. So, I will say that the wait time did not experience any delays or issues. Ambiance: 5/5 It gets quite lively on Sundays with the noon rush. Nonetheless, I experienced no issues with the ambiance. The pop music played smoothly over the radio, never overwhelming you with its volume. Plenty of space exists between the tables, making it easy to walk around, and I had no issue with the seats. Food: 4/5 I ordered the Loaded Breakfast Fries and the Dirty Main Street Refresher. The Loaded Breakfast Fries has french fries, bits of pork roll, scallions, and a sunny side-up egg, with sharp cheese sauce and spicy aioli layered atop them. This reinvention of the Jersey favorite side-dish, the loaded fries, definitely makes a spectacular presence in this menu, for the aioli gives every part of this dish a standout spiciness. I did think that the cheese sauce overdid it. Nonetheless, every other part of the dish, from the pork roll bits to the scallions, give it a rich taste that could really make your morning worth trudging through. The french fries held their form without becoming too soggy or greasy from the cheese sauce, nor did they have too much crisp. The Dirty Main Street Refresher has green tea, coconut milk, mango and pineapple flavorings, and an energy shot. The flavorings give it a tangy flavor, complementing well with the green tea, while the coconut milk gives it a warm yet inherently sweet texture. It did have ice, but it did not become too cold to drink. I can see that the brand maintains relevance with its availability of dirty energy shots. When it comes to food selection, they definitely reflect the Jersey theme, with menu items such as the Jersey Swamp and the Loaded Breakfast Fries. While the website did not do them justice, you at least do get a preview of them on their main website, especially when it describes the eatery as "...where time-honored traditions meet modern culinary creations." For a meal as complicated as my order, I have to say that the wait time it took fitted the quality, for the Loaded Breakfast Fries had enough heat to prepare it, but not too much to the point it made me wait before eating more. While I cannot say that it satisfied me throughout the day, I did think that the service clearly cared about the food they prepare. Service: 5/5 I could tell that the staff had a jovial disposition with the customers. Indeed, despite my barely awake whisper, I managed to get my order fulfilled without any issues. The service influenced my first impressions of Bagels and Brew Company in a positive way. Cost: 4/5 Taking into account all of the factors of Bagels and Brew Company, I will say that they all complement each other well, with room for more potential. Unfortunately, I have to say that while the prices seem high, it does match what I would have gotten had I went to some other eatery, especially with loaded menu items like the ones I ordered. With that being said, I would absolutely like to return to try more menu items. I would recommend to Bagels and Brew Company to experiment with their logo for next year if the breakfast shop continues to stay around. I would specifically suggest to find out how to use the Jersey buff-and-blue for the new logo to match the Jersey-themed menu items. I would also like to suggest finding a way to make that quote I made from the website into their slogan, whether they change a few of the words or shorten it. Rating: 5/5 Stars Rounding the average score between four or five stars, I will ultimately give this eatery five out of five stars, due to the amount of hope and potential I see within Bagels and Brew Company. As someone who visited 100+ eateries in Monmouth and Ocean Counties throughout a single year, I will say that Bagels and Brew Company are off to a good start. Recommend To... Anyone looking for a breakfast eatery with Jersey-themed menu items.
