I have gone to Tommy Boy's a few times since they've opened and each experience has been fantastic. The food is delicious and the coffee is excellent! My favorites are the avocado toast and La Colombe cold brew! The owner, Cris, and his staff gave us such a warm welcome upon arrival and were very helpful. I would highly recommend a visit! P.S. My dog loves it, too. : )

Tuna poke bowl and grilled shrimp poke bowl

Run, don't walk to this delicious place! My husband and I love getting their poke bowls. We have tried many poke bowls in town, and this is my favorite! They give you lots of ingredients, not just rice, like most places. The protein is fresh and always packed so nicely. It really fills you up. I highly recommend this place to everyone!!

The cutest cafe around! It's so relaxing to enjoy an iced cold brew on the dog friendly "pooch porch"

The cutest cafe around with a super friendly staff, Tommy Boy's Cafe is only a half mile from route 37/ GSP exit 82B in downtown Tom's River. This place just happens to have the best poke and cold brew/ coffee around! We've become regulars! It's so relaxing to enjoy an iced cold brew on the dog friendly "pooch porch" . My favorite sandwich is the fresh grilled chicken, homemade mozzarella with red Roasted peppers! This cafe is also the perfect take a break from your office or home office to focus on being productive at the "easy peezy" work spaces while sipping on a fresh cappuccino. Ask for the "EmmaSpecial" latte, my favorite!

Coffee and their flatbread!

If you are going out for breakfast, this is the place!! This is probably one of the coolest places to go to in Tom's River! Their food and coffee are amazing! They are animal friendly and have treats for your animals! The staff was super helpful and made my experience amazing! The space is super spacious and so artsy! This is an adorable place for a coffee date or a peaceful breakfast! I would totally recommend this place and I am definitely coming back!

In where it belongs

Trash, garbage, awful! Drive passed this place a lot for work so finally decided to stop in and try it and oh boy what a mistake. Inside it looks cool enough, although I was suprised to see how little they had in terms of baked type goods. I should have seen the red flag when I asked if they had a Dark Roast to be told they only have one Roast. Got a 16 oz and a chocolate chip cookie. Ate the cookie first and for $2.50 you would think k it would be pretty good, but it was below average. I've had better cookies at Wawa and Quick Check for a fraction of the cost. Now onto the coffee. This has to be one of the worst coffee experiences I've had in a long time. The coffee was so warered down that it didn't even taste like coffee. For those wondering, I drink my coffee black. I tried to drink it a few times, but it was so horrible that I cut my losses and dumped the coffee and tossed the cup in the trash. Being a coffee shop, they should be ashamed to serve such a bad cup of coffee. I had high hopes, but in the end it's $6.13 of my money wasted on a sub par product.

Hidden gem in corner of strip mall, next to State Park. Ample parking. Exterior door is not…read moreautomated, regular pull to enter. Outside seating is available on occasion. Interior seating is booths along one wall that can sit four comfortably, and 2-4 top table and chair seating for rest of area. Restroom is available, but not very ADA and small child friendly. Zoe took care of us. The food and drinks were good. We enjoyed the gluten-free peach French toast, a grilled chicken wrap with fries, a pistachio chai tea, a colada cooler. Food was displayed on plate wonderfully. Portions are ample. All tasted fresh and delicious. Definitely would order from and dine in here again. 9/10

Good: waitress, steak, potato's, pork roll, pancakes, coffee, music…read more Reason we wouldn't return: there are only 10 tables in here. The hostess has this look of doom on her face every time someone comes in. Table of 3. Doom. Table of 4. Doom. Table for 2 and a car seat. Super DOOM. Can you move us. Doom. She looks like she's looking across the Cheesecake Factory for a table. And I'm looking like is there another restaurant in the back? Nope. Just doom. We were waiting for a table no big deal. I'm not an instant gratification person. I'll wait an hour for a good place. And they tried to accommodate us by sitting us at a bistro table for 2. I'm like no we'll wait and they're like everyone just sat down you're gonna have to wait a long time and my husband was like OK. This is fine so I just went along with that. First thing you need to fix that table it is wobbly flip it over grab a screwdriver and make it not wobbly. Second take those tables unless you were ordered by a fire marshal to only have that size throw them in the garbage and put four regular tables there. Not round. Not itty-bitty. Four tables for four people it would certainly alleviate the face of doom. No one might wonder God why are you going on and on about the tables well for three people three breakfasts I waited for my food for over an hour so I paid attention to every thing that was around me in the itty-bitty teeny tiny restaurant. The bacon was mushy. I don't know if it was raw, but it was mushy. The parts that were cooked to my liking were really good, but I didn't want to eat it because I just kept thinking is this raw? My last little issue is all the little charges on the bill. I don't expect food to be cheap. I don't expect breakfast to be cheap either. I am realistic. I know that when I go out to eat likely I'm spending a minimum of $100. One of the meals we ordered was steak and eggs so I definitely knew we were spending over $100. However. Charging $.20 for cream for coffee is such a stupid business decision. That stuff gets you one star reviews, and makes old people really mad. Work it into the price of the coffee. The girl asked me what kind of toast I wanted, pumpernickel, some sort of grain bread or I can't remember what the third one was. Why are you charging me for toast? It's supposed to come with my food. Was the pumpernickel toast more money? Why didn't you say that? Why do I have to scour the menu for all these little hidden charges? It's stupid you need to fix that. Overall, I think the place is good, but it certainly needs some tweaking the people running around the dining room with the exception of the girl who is our waitress with the braids just looks lost. Some people got an explanation of the menu. Some people didn't some people look like they come there 100 times a month. And I'm sure there's a reason for that. The food wasn't bad but for a first time it was also my last time cause I don't mind spending $100 on food and sitting down to eat, but it needs to be better then just good and it missed the mark. But for the love of god get rid of those stupid small middle tables they're not even big enough for 2 people. I do wish you nothing but success though. Change the tables and retrain doom face and I'll make it 5 stars.

Loved this place! Its in an unassuming location so I am glad we found it when searching for coffee…read moreshops. The drink list is extensive, with something for everyone. I had the Irish Rebellion, and they were able to make it decaf! My wife thought it was too sweet but that's why I loved it. It is a mix of coffee, Irish creme (no alcohol), and whipped cream. I'm told the standard cappuccino was terrific as well. We got the homemade pop tarts, which are a big upgrade over what you cna buy at the grocery store. I would not travel here just for the tarts but i think they are worth trying if you are here anyway. Be warned, they are much bigger! The whole cafe had a strong anti-establishment vibe and a unique character. I highly recommend.

So I went here to meet a date this afternoon just to break the ice, maybe have coffee, see how it…read moregoes. Turns out she doesn't drink coffee, so she had a Diet Coke. I absolutely adore this place and I actually found a new place to get a haircut next door for a reasonable price so it was a win-win for me. They made me a vanilla latte, served in a real cup, it was excellent. They had homemade pop tarts!! So I ordered the Nutella one of course! Pastry was light and flaky, maybe a needed a little more filling, perhaps they could've heated it up more. The counter dude brought my order out separately. The place is doing great business. I love the decor and will definitely be back. I love mom and Pop small businesses, an antidote to Starbucks. Could be a great place to enjoy something to eat, have a nice cup of coffee, and relax with a book. Seems pet friendly too as a young woman brought a cute Boston terrier in with her.
