I have been wanting to come to Ramtown Plaza's own cafe for a while now, and I can say that the…read moreexperience was worth it. Website: 9/10 It has the simple green-and-white color scheme reflecting Ram Cafe's brand, and it is easy to navigate and view the menu items. Most of them had an image accompanying them. There are images of the food showcased on the front page, though one of them seems to glitch out. The main page also introduces the contact page for any catering events. Brand: 8/10 I appreciated the entrance to Ram Cafe, since the green sign and the blue electric lights stood out in the Ramtown Plaza. I do like the way the lettering on the business name resembles thick paint strokes. In the interior, there are plenty of refrigerators selling many products from delicacies to drinks. The menu was shown in a screen above the counter. As a cafe, it does help with refrigerator-shopping, since no shortage of foods and drinks exists behind those transparent doors. Ambiance: 8/10 The classic rock music played over the radio with the right volume, not too loud but also provided the establishment with comfort, while people also have the option to watch the television. The noise from the other patrons did not bother us. I gave the ambiance a 8/10 due to the cramped space, since I imagined it to be much bigger. As uncustomary as the tables are, they are at least round meaning that they will not cause any disturbances between the patrons. Service: 10/10 We had no issue with the staff, since we managed to get what we needed. I did have a problem with putting money in the tip slot, which the staff kindly helped slide it in. Wait Time: 10/10 We had no interruptions during our orders. Food: 9/10 I ordered the Assorted French Macaroons and a Living Juice containing blended orange, carrots, and yellow beet. They rested in the refrigerators, so they were already prepared. The macaroons held their forms. The buns and the cream did not fall into pieces. I did not pay the smell any mind, though they did have the soft macaroon smell. The macaroons had the crumbly chew, and the tastes reflected all six of the flavors and the soft macaroon bread. I did not think too much about the aftertaste. There are plenty of menu items with the Ram Cafe brand on them, with the exception of the drinks which appear to belong to many other small brands. Worth The Money?: 9/10 While the interior did feel cramped, I nevertheless enjoyed my macaroons and blended juice. The aesthetics of the paint stroke lettering did match the casual tone of the cafe. The music and the television did not distract me. I can see how this business will continue to represent Ramtown as its cafe, for its location in Ramtown Plaza makes it unique as a place to walk to from the other businesses. I did think that the Living Juice had too high a price, while the macaroons fitted the price. Try to be mindful of what you are buying. I do not have any strong suggestions, for everything seemed to fit well. If they do not already, they should locally source their ingredients, since many farms percolate throughout Howell. Rating: 5/5 Stars I have plenty of hope for Ram Cafe, since I could see how this small cafe would represent Ramtown. Recommend To... Anyone who lives in Ramtown and looking for a hang-out spot. I also recommend this cafe to anyone who is more interested in refrigerator-shopping than preparing to buy online or directly from the menu.

Not only does the food taste truthfully out of this world, but you will also find that the service is incredible! From the moment you walk inside, you are met with a ton of friendly faces who without a doubt will treat you just like family. They are incredibly kind people who put hard effort into making sure that each meal is prepared with care, and that each person feels safe and comfortable under their roof. I must also comment that I myself am a very picky eater with odd sensory difficulties. It is typically very difficult for me to find many foods or meals that I feel are safe to eat, and that don't trigger any sort of reluctance. However at Thymes, they offer a wide variety of different meals and desserts, so locating something that I felt was both appetizing and safe to eat was no problem at all. I've been a proud frequent flier for the past 3 years, and without a doubt intend to keep going back as much as possible before I go off to college next year. To say that I will genuinely miss Thymes and more so the generous souls that have always been there for me is an understatement. More than five stars if I could. Keep up the amazing work.

I ordered the Mom Burger, which is a Swiss burger topped with mushrooms on a brioche bun. It also came with a good portion of fries and a side of pickles. The burger itself was pretty solid -- good flavor and a satisfying size. At $16, the portion felt fair considering the amount of fries you get with it. One thing I noticed was an additional charge for sauces. I asked about it, and they explained that all their sauces are made in-house, which is why they charge $1 per sauce. Honestly, that makes sense when they're homemade. Now the star of the show for me was actually the drink. After looking over the menu a bit more, I decided to try the LA Metro coffee drink with almond milk. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but for $5.99, I have to say it was really good. Definitely something I'd order again. I also want to mention the customer service. The girl working at the counter was extremely nice -- probably some of the best customer service I've had in a while. She didn't rush anything, answered my questions, and was very professional and friendly. I asked about the specials, the cakes they offer, and even whether they were doing a St. Patrick's Day platter, which they are. Overall, it was a really good experience. Good food, great drink, and excellent customer service. I'd definitely recommend stopping by Taylor Sam's if you're in the area.

unny Side Up is hands-down the best breakfast spot in town! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome with their warm and attentive service. The atmosphere was cozy and vibrant, perfect for starting the day on a positive note. And the food--wow! The bacon was out of this world--crispy, flavorful, and cooked to absolute perfection. It's the kind of bacon that makes you want to come back every day. Everything else on the menu was equally amazing, but the bacon truly stole the show. If you're looking for a place with great service, an amazing vibe, and food that will leave you smiling, Sunny Side Up is the place to be. Highly recommend! read more

Not often does a place do as well or better than the last place when it changes hands and the previous joint was a local favorite. At the Point IMHO is one of those such spots. The menu is flat out one of the best I've seen in years! So many amazing choices from savory to sweet, creative fun names for everything, outstanding choices, tons of options for every palate. They kept some of the staples from before which is a nice hat tip to tradition but you can also tell the new chef/owner wanted to have some fun with the menu and it's a hit in my book! The food is very fresh, coffee hot and delicious, and the service is as good as it always was! Tanya is the best! The pancakes are next level, all of their omelettes I've tried have been dynamite, favorites include the French Onion Omelette, Reef & Beef and Juan in a Million. Today we had the Sunrise in Tulum Birria tacos and Country Benny (okay along with a flight of pancakes, stop judging). Everything was great! Avocado toast options are fantastic as well. Love seeing such an iconic local breakfast joint not only stay as good as it's always been but actually improve. This is a can't miss for breakfast or lunch if you're in Point Pleasant Beach or even just passing thru. Keep up the great work At The Point Diner!
