I came here for brunch on a weekday and got seated right away. This place is cute and lovely. We got Lox Benedict (lox substituted with turkey bacon) and Liam's Fav (3 fluffy pancakes). I definitely recommend the fluffy cakes. It came like a fluffy pancake flights with 3 flavors. I could try all the flavors. The plating was also very nice. The food was delicious and the service is good. I really glad to find this place for my brunch list.

Service was quick and friendly. Food was very good, I had the steak sandwich and the sandwich was perfectly balanced with meat and toppings with the steak being fresh and tender. Fries were great. Coffee was a little sweet for my liking so next time I'd just get a less sweet drink but perfect for people who like sweet. The inside is so cutely decorated.

Very cute spot in bradley! I have been to the metuchen location many times and this one is smaller for size. We came here on a Saturday around 1:30. Service was very good and so was the food. The menu has a large emphasis on fresh produce and it is a little more on the expensive side but the portions were huge. The food was delicious you will not leave here hungry. We all had the specialty drinks and everything was a hit from the witches brew to the matcha and pumpkin pie latte. Really cute spot for a girls brunch!

We were looking for a new brunch place to go and decided to give this place a try after reading the reviews. The restaurant is extremely beautiful and looks more like a girl's bedroom than a restaurant. The place is very pink, but the shades of pink are muted and pale, so the pink isn't overwhelming, either. Knickknacks sit on beige shelves in the middle of the restaurant while another set of shelves holds a variety of green potted plants. In fact, plants seem to be the main theme of the restaurant, as they decorate almost every inch of the place. Pretty lamps hang over some of the tables and I'm not sure what this next thing is called, but I'm going to describe this the only way I can. There are "droopy dried tree branches" hanging over the counter at the front. They're very pretty, but this is the only way I can describe them. LOL. Daughter ordered the spicy avo toast with lox, which is seasoned mashed avocado, feta, sriracha mayo, two eggs sunny side up served on a sourdough bread with mixed greens topped with balsamic glaze. She loved the avocado and lox combo and ate it all up. Hubs ordered the Hatchatarian, which is grilled eggplant, fried tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, spinach and garlic mayo spread on a grilled herb panini served with fresh fries. He liked it but didn't remember much about it but he loves eggplant and this didn't disappoint. Lastly, I ordered the coffee cream toast, which is brioche bread dipped in a cappuccino, vanilla and cinnamon batter stuffed with a house coffee cream and topped with raspberry jam and fresh fruit. I loved my order! Presentation looked great and it was delicious. They also have a location in Metuchen but we didn't feel like going down that way. I'm glad that they opened one by the Jersey shore. Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely return when in the area to try other items on the menu.

I never have nothing negative to say from this place. I have been to both the Metuchen and Belmar locations, they are great. The food is delicious every time. I love how they are always changing their menu with the seasons. Both locations are perfect to dress up and take the perfect insta picture. Both locations can accommodate big groups. Definitely BYOB so bring your favorite drink to spice up your brunch. Service is always a 10!

As a huge fan of the Metuchen location of Hatch 44, I had to try the Bradley Beach location before heading over to the shore. Only street parking is available, but we were able to easily find parking a couple minute walk away. We were discouraged by seeing a group of people waiting at the front, but there was no wait for my boyfriend and I. I loved the interior. Everything was so cute, including the flower shaped lights hanging from the ceiling, the plants at the doorway, the chairs, etc. However, as it was a hot summer day, there was a noticeable lack of sufficient AC. My boyfriend ordered the Fiesta Scramble and I ordered the sushi tacos, which I had previously never noticed on the menu, but the waitress informed me that it was only for a special event at Metuchen. As a back up, I ordered the shrimp tacos, which the waitress hyped up. We also got a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, which was delicious. As always, the food looked beautiful, but in terms of taste, it did not impress me. Although the filling of the taco was great as the shrimp tasted fresh and the slaw was great and well-flavored, I really wish there were normal tortillas as opposed to the tostone tortillas. As the tostone tortillas were flat and hard, they made it difficult to eat. My boyfriend thought his bowl was essentially a mushy bowl of food with corn tortillas. Overall, we would order different items next time and the Bradley Beach location is comparable to Metuchen as long as the AC issue is addressed!

Loved this place. I met my friends here to eat and I came in a little late but it was so cute and quaint it's decorated so cute and there is even a little section for special merch. The tables and everything inside looks like it's from a west elm catalog. It's so chic but not as great for squeezing 5 to a table. The service was decent and it's pretty small on the inside too

Amazing food. Great portions and very beautifully crafted drinks. You can feel the love they have shown through their food. My only complaint is the wait times. They don't take reservations and said it will be a 15-20min but we were waiting outside for over an hour. Finally we got seated at the bar which wasn't the most comfortable to have conversations. Hopefully they set up a reservation or waitlist mechanism soon

Stopped in on a Saturday for brunch with my fiance and mom for her birthday. The downside is they don't take reservations for smaller parties so it is a first come first serve situation. Everything else was amazing. The decor is SO PRETTY. The outside has beautiful flowers and the inside has a stunning pink espresso machine. Even the bathroom was beautifully decorated. Very instagrammable. I ordered a tiramisu latte that was to die for. It came with the most perfect lady finger on top. I also got the chicken scoop. The maple mustard, the bacon jam, it was all so delicious. I also got a latte to go. The coffee was good and strong.

Loved my visit to the Bradley Beach location - truly the cutest spot for lunch (if you love anything and everything pink, this place is for you)! I stopped in on a Thursday afternoon, so the space wasn't too crowded. A few people had their laptops open and when I asked, the waitress shared the wifi password with me. Seemed to be work-lunch friendly, but that may not be the case during their busier hours - be sure to double-check! Their menu was extensive and every dish was so creative! I ordered the Birria Grilled Cheese Please, which was absolutely amazing. The sandwich was so flavorful and juicy and cheesy - what more can you ask for? Plus, the fries that came on the side were thin, perfectly salted, and not too greasy. The portions were big, so I was able to take some home for later too. Definitely will be coming back ASAP to eat my way through the menu!
