    I’m going to be honest .. I have lived in the Jersey shore for 37 years. I live here in the summer and I’m in Florida in the winter when I tell you that this coffee joint here has the freshest bagels the fastest service oceanfront I met a gentleman name, Alex I found his service extremely efficient. He came out and greeted me and a few seconds later. I had everything for breakfast, there is many places at this place sit on the ocean and have your breakfast...
