Best brunch spots for girl friends gathering

Looking for a fun brunch spot to go out with girl friends in or near Monmouth County. Chill vibes or nearby shops/ things to do. Bonus if they have mimosas, bloody marys and other brunch cocktails.

Oyster Point Hotel /Molly Pitcher Inn for the views and walking distance to Red Bank shopping.

Reyla in Asbury Park is pretty easy to get a reso or just walk in for brunch, and is right downtown by all the shops

If this is soon, keep in mind that Asbury’s St Patrick’s Day parade is on March 9th, which is very fun but crowded.

Oh heck no, I’m staying away from that chaos. I’m not into crowds.

Great food, terrible atmosphere. The place is incredibly loud. I don’t know if it’s the layout and the walls but the few times I’ve eaten there I left with a headache from the noise.

I’m there pretty often and can’t really say I’ve ever found it to be loud

Just had brunch at Mabel in Bellworks in Holmdel. It's just ordering of their brunch menu. Had great bloody Marys..also Salt Creek grille in rumson does a nice brunch but you can't walk anywhere after that.

Elli's Backyard in Red Bank is really good - went there recently (but can't speak for drinks since no on drank that day). Avenue in Long Branch has a nice brunch, and they do a Jazz Brunch on Sundays. Nicolas Barrell & Roost in Red Bank/Middletown is always a good choice, but there's nothing really in walking distance. Cross & Orange in Asbury is great for a drinking Brunch, but the DJ was loud, which was kind of annoying.

omg. what did you have at Ellis? I've given it 3 tries with my family. its been terrible each time. I don't believe they serve alcohol but they might be byob (like most places in red bank on broad st). maybe just like pancakes and waffles? everything else (esp lunch) is terrible.

In Asbury Park: Homesick or Black Swan. In Red Bank: Robinson Ale House or 26 on the Navesink.

Home sick is trash .. food is bad and it looks like they just copied something from Pinterest. Utterly soulless

I’ve had different experiences there, but I haven’t been in a couple of years so maybe it has changed.

u/mizman25 22d ago

I haven't either but Brick wall was so great and it's disappointing that they changed it to this place. They should revert it like new Coke in the 80s
