The French Press - Belmar

Solid place to visit for a weekend breakfast stop. Nice variety of menu options. I had the vegetarian hash which came with a side of toast. Their bread isn’t baked in-house but from a local bakery. I also had a side of their traditional french toast. The vegetarian hash was flavorful and they cooked the eggs just right (over easy). The hash didn’t leave me with that heavy “I’m not eating a meal again until dinner time” feeling. The side of french toast is a worthy supplement to any breakfast dish, three pieces made it not too heavy either. Their honey butter is amazing and would love to have that on some cornbread or a muffin too. Their drip coffee is respectable but could be better. Between their menu, pricing and flavors, this place has potential.

Our first time there, breakfast was great. Delicious French toast with different sauces and butter to choose from as well as the staple-maple syrup. Eggs were cooked perfectly to order. The ham was very good but.... it was thin deli style slices like you would have on a sandwich, difficult to cut with a butter knife and awkward to eat... it should be a ham steak. Service was friendly with just the right amount of attention during our meal and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. Definitely will return.

Nice little spot in the center of the town, so far the BEST crab Benedict(I added ham to mine) I've had anywhere I've been too... I know I'm gonna be swinging by there definitely if I'm back in belmar. Give it a try, they have plenty of other options as well. And I'm just talking about the food.. their coffee is on another level as well.

This place is my go to for breakfast! I always try something different but my personal favorite is their French toast. Their lattes are delicious & also offer boozy drinks which is always a plus. The staff is super friendly, they get very busy, especially on the weekends. I definitely recommend making a reservation.
Enjoy!
