Almost Home General - Lincroft, New Jersey

A quaint corner cafe! A very nice selection of coffee and tea drinks and mixes. Fresh pastries to please the eyes and pallet. Interesting assortment of sandwiches and such. Service at register was good (even when they where overwhelmed), but there is really not any seating. Just a 5 seat counter (that needed cleaning!). I will stop here again as I did like the menu. Gotta try it! I have it a 4 of 5 stars, because I thought they should have had an extra person there and because of the counter top seating area cleanliness...

First time checking this spot out. 10/10. The customer service from Courtney & her other co worker, I didn’t catch her name, was amazing! I got the pumpkin cold brew. Delicious! Not too over powering with the flavor or sweetness, it was just right. I also got the pumpkin bread 10/10. The ratio of soft, crunchy and sweet was perfect. Also got the breakfast burrito. I used to live in San Diego, let me tell you, it brought me back to a taco spot burrito in the AM. I highly recommend! There is no seating to sit & enjoy but a great place to pick up and go chill at a park on a gorgeous day or head home to enjoy!

Went for brunch on Saturday Labor Day weekend as part of a peach picking outing. The wait for a table was about an hour so decided to order and sit outside on the front porch counter. This area has stools and faces the parking lot. Did notice there is an outdoor side patio that has stacked tables and chairs which is not in use. Seemed like a waste of space when the indoor space is so small. Ordered food and drinks at the counter. Got the drinks right away. Part of our group of 6 got their food after 45 mins of waiting. Two of us got nothing After a 50 min wait I go inside to inquire about the missing orders, the hostess said nothing, went to the kitchen and I waited another 10 mins. She later comes out with one order and said the other order would be ready in another 10 mins and she would bring it outside. Finally after 1 hour and 20 mins I got my poached eggs and toast. No excuse or apologies given. The hostess threw the food one the counter and walked away without saying a word. This is definitely the epitome of rudeness. Now to the food. Everything we had was good. This place has potential to be great, but the service is mediocre. Part of dinning out is the experience of having a good time. No one likes getting served with an attitude. Would not return.

Recently changed to pickup and go setting than a dine in. Highly recommend the Bees Knees and Breakfast burrito!

And shout out to them writing fun notes on your coffee 😄

I always try to support local businesses, and I've given Almost Home in Lincroft many chances over the years. Unfortunately, I've been disappointed every single time. The baristas consistently struggle to make a decent drink, especially considering the almost $10 price tag per beverage. Yesterday was the last straw for me—I ordered a latte that ended up being more sugar than anything else.

The prices are ridiculously high, and the service is extremely slow. On top of that, the quality of the food has really declined. It seems like Almost Home has gotten too big and lost the personal touch it once had. There are plenty of other great local coffee shops in the area, and I’ll be spending my money elsewhere from now on.

Cute homey place! They have a bakery if you just wanna grab and go. I came here with friends and we each got a drink and dish. I got the salty captain iced. Great flavor and coffee!!! I also got the biscuits and gravy! I was amazed!! So delicious. The place is small, and we did wait 30 minutes. So expect to wait a bit if you’re coming on a busy day!

I love this place. The drinks, the vibe, and the people. I am gluten free and I love that they offer GF cookies. I only hope that they start to offer more items as time goes on! Thank you!!

Very cute restaurant! The brunch menu was good and the food was excellent! It was prepared fairly quickly. I would highly recommend the challah French toast. The staff was extremely friendly. They paid attention to small details, e.g. placing accents from the wizard of Oz as decoration across the restaurant, including Dorothy’s red shoes or the bathroom mural. The outdoor porch is also cute with rocking chairs. There was a little bit of a wait but it was fine.
