I absolutely love Gateway Cafe because of its friendly Christian atmosphere, its awesome service, and bountiful menu of wonderful item choices.
I've been here twice on my visits to Jersey Shore in the past seven years from England and this place is the best. Awesome service, great menu and prices to boot.....I willingly left my change in the cup :-) The owner, Jen, is just the best :-)
Staff: Friendly and courteous Food: Delicious and served with a smile Service: Quick and great attention to detail Drinks: Ever-changing and exciting Price: Affordable and worth every penny I come here for breakfast and lunch nearly every weekday. I simply could never grow bored with this place! The lovely people behind the counter are so kind and energetic. I bring my young kids with me after school sometimes for a snack of cake pops and an extra pick-me-up lotus drink. They are welcoming to my kids' noisy banter as they go on and on with every worker about how their day at school was. PLEASE never change your friendly, charming ways Gateway!
The Gateway Café breakfast was excellent; fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The coffee was just as impressive: smooth, rich, and the perfect start to the morning. Great food, great coffee, and friendly service made it an easy five-star experience.
The Gateway has always been great, but recently I hired them to provide the meal for a large funeral service. Many guests raved about how much they enjoyed the meal and desserts. Thank you Gateway for taking some of the stress out of a very sad event for me!
Asked for a suggestion from staff and ordered the scambler, no regrets. Enjoyed the French toast, liked it a little crispy, perfect. My daughter was nice enough to share with me. Don't assume from the outside facsod, go in, and you'll get comfortable really quick on the couches. Next time through town, I will stop in again.
Best restaurant in the ENTIRE neighborhood! (and cleanest, by far ;) Staff is amazing, food is always fresh, delicious and dished out in hearty portions. We often do the take-out and it's wrapped to stay hot and fresh. All the reviews here are a testament to one of the finest Cafe's within miles. If you haven't ordered food from Gateway Cafe, try it for yourself. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Love love love this place, great for pick up or a quick bite, limited seating and parking but worth a visit anyway! Prices are decent too. I got the white cheddar mac and cheese with pork belly and it was everything I needed. They have a million diff coffees and drinks and they have new themed menus for holidays which is amazing, highly recommend. The ppl who work there are so sweet too so make sure you tip!
Amazing drinks... kinda addicted... I think it's cool that they have boba and edible glitter too. Always super friendly, helpful, and AMAZING staff!!! Overall it's a really pleasant visit every time. I don't eat the food often. I think its a little overpriced and haven't had anything amazing yet, but it wasn't ever bad or anything either. I'm sure I will try the food again sometime, but the drinks though.... FANTASTIC!!!!
Went to have a coffee with my bestie and breakfast. It was very pleasant and enjoyable. Our breakfast was great and we had a variety of different choices. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This is a great little coffee shop for you whole family. Our coffee was delicious off their Spring menu.
