    From tuliptreecafe.com website. Clearly states "Open Monday 10-3.  Small paper schedule on front door had same hours listed.

    About fourth time to visit. Been here before for lunch. Two of us came on a weekday around 12:30 for lunch. It's a bit of a ride but we figured see what's cooking? Because it's a ride I checked their website before leaving to ensure they'd be open. Well, as others have complained, they weren't answering the door or the phone. I could see them inside along with at least one or two people in the dining room. The sign on the door with printed schedule clearly indicated they should be open for business. Ok, maybe they didn't bother to update their schedules with changes (which by itself shows a gross lack of customer service); but to not answer the door when you can see us and we see you is downright rude and callous. This is in a rural part of the county which is all the more annoying about them. I'll continue to shop the nursery and gift shop which are very friendly and generous, but not the Tulip.

    Beautiful timber framed dining area with a warm atmosphere. It's my first time here today I will definitely be coming back. Waitress was attentive and kind. Food was delicious. Got the lentil soup and the shrimp po'boy, both specials and both amazing. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

    I had a wonderful lunch for Mother's Day with 10 people. The atmosphere was so beautiful and quaint. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. And the staff was very sweet and friendly. I couldn't recommended this place more!

    Cute cafe. Small but inviting. Love that it's by Calgo farms. I walked in and it took a bit long to be greeted. I have heard the owner is very nice and pleasant to talk too but I guess today was an off day for her. The vegetable sandwich on ciabatta bread was extremely satisfying. Bread was so fresh. The vegetables with balsamic hit the spot. I would have liked a bit more vegetables and crunch. I had coleslaw with my sandwich. Tasted like it could be roasted pepper based but not sure. It was just ok for me. Last bite had a sizable peppercorn that lingered in mouth for awhile after which I wasn't happy about because the sandwich was so tasty. I would go back and try the chicken salad or grilled cheese sandwich next time or maybe treat my kids to breakfast there.

    The ambiance is nice, but I thought the portions were small and the prices high. The service was good.

    It definitely exhumes the whimsical, Wonderland aesthetics about it, from the interior to the Calgo Gardens.

    Stopped here for lunch during our first trip to Belmar, NJ and did not regret it! The menu is small…read morebut the flavors are huge! I ordered a Shrimp Po' Boy and it was by far the best Po'Boy I have had outside of New Orleans, and might have even been better than the one I had there too. My daughter ordered the Fish and Chips, which she loved despite it being her first time trying it. The interior has that "hole in the wall" vibe with just a few tables and a few stools at the counter. The food is being made just feet away from wear you're sitting and it creates a homey vibe. The locals seem to love the place as several stopped in to either eat or chat with the two women working. I do believe they have outdoor seating at picnic tables. Overall, this place is an absolute gem and i'll definitely be back when we return to Belmar, NJ.

It's cash only or Venmo, which I find its pretty normal for smaller local spots. The thing about this location was that it reminded me of Maine, the walls are painted this beautifully brilliant blue with nautical inspired decor. My favorite was the fishies above a fishing boat, which I had to take a snap of. I ordered 3 eggs over medium, with rye, and a side of bacon. The eggs were still a bit too runny, but its a standard breakfast. I want to go back and to sit there because the staff were super nice. If I lived closer then I'd prolly be here all the time. I saw a reviewer complain about the sign showing open, but they weren't. Honestly businesses making that mistake all the time, but to point it out is just whatever. Highly recommend stopping by here early because I have a feeling they're super busy with the locals.

Sometimes I'm afraid of…read moreordering new things as I don't want to be disappointed and have a bad experience but I must say this place pleasantly surprises me every time - everything I've ordered is made so well and is so delicious (coming from a person who doesn't say the word delicious too often). I usually sit outside and the vibe is exactly what I'm looking for- bright, quiet-ish brunch mornings away from the chaos and tornados that are my kids. The inside of the restaurant is very cute. Restrooms are clean. Service is always great- the staff never forget about you regardless of how busy it gets. I wasn't thinking about it and was going to waste half my latte today but the waitress asked if I wanted a to-go cup for it, which I found to be thoughtful and considerate of her to offer. Today I had to make sure to stop and thank the owner (George) for how special this place is. I wish I could come here everyday- yes, partly to escape my kids but mostly for the food, the service, and everything else this little gem of a place offers.

We saw the Honey Berry and decided to give it a try. Great choice! We shared the Brioche French Toast and the Mediterranean Omelette. The French Toast was exquisite! It was light and fluffy with a delicious taste. The Mediterranean Omelette has fresh spinach, tomato, scallions and feta cheese. It was a very good Omelette, the feta cheese was a great change from the cheddar you typically get, and it was full of veggie! Honey Berry was as good as the Marigold! Now we have two breakfast spots in Spring Lake!

    YES I am giving 5-stars because it was worth every penny spent…read more I had decided late Saturday night I wanted to go to brunch, but I didn't want to travel far and I didn't want to spend a fortune on items I didn't want to eat, I wanted a simply, tasty brunch/breakfast. So "Our House" !! Close to home, Mini-Me goes there for karaoke night and she enjoys the food there. Came here last Sunday 2/1/26 - Saturday night I made the reservations online- and Sunday we went on over- we found parking up front, even with the snow piled a mile high. Omelet station was doing a brisk business and although I am not much of an omelet person, I ordered mine, and let me say--theirs is really good! I also went up twice for the roast beef- the nice thing is, they don't cook a huge roast, it's medium size and seasoned and cooked perfectly, not a lot of fat, but the seasoning was fantastic. Chicken with lemon sauce, the pork in a really nice sauce, the house potatoes (really liked these- peel and eat shrimp were large and plentiful. Salads, sausage and bacon, sausage and peppers, and the desserts were so tasty. But lets talk about the waffles here- Belgium waffles , thick, fluffy and I absolutely enjoyed them, in fact I had two- I KNOW!! it was carbs, but who is counting carbs when it comes to a Sunday brunch?! I usually like Bloody Mary's at "Brunch Time", but this time, it was the mimosas calling my name- cool and refreshing and a perfect ratio of OJ and Prosecco. Mini-Me ordered a large apple juice to go with her mimosa's, lol. Coffee was hot and our cups were never empty. Serving staff was working hard, clearing tables keeping the patrons coffee cups filled and even taking orders for the bar service, I am not sure if patrons ordered from the regular menu, but it was busy!!! I have to say, there is something to be said about both a huge buffet and a buffet that caters to the basics of a good brunch- they do not over extend the items, I think that is were some places go wrong. They do 1/2 pans for the buffet so everything is fresh, and replenished quickly, nothing sits for long or is empty. The gentleman working the omelet /carving station was so friendly and nice, I couldn't help but smile each time I went up for "2nds". Anyway for $19.99pp plus tax and tip, it is definitely a winner in my book and a once a month breakfast on my calendar. When I asked about the Thanksgiving Brunch from people I know- Our House was given high praises so, my husband said I don't have to cook this year, we are going to OUR HOUSE!!!! and I couldn't be happier!

    It's horrendous! Over booked a Valentines event, the food was awful, we were seated on top of one…read moreanother, fire exit was blocked with chairs. I would never ever return here for anything.
