Reviews for The Local Market & Kitchen in Ship Bottom, NJ
Such a aesthetic coffee shop and market. The signature coffees are very picturesque and the outdoor seating has ample space to... sit and read. I loved biking here in the summer and enjoying my morning. I will say the coffee was a bit pricey though. Read more
It gets SUPER crowded in the mornings so be prepared for a line. But trust me its worth the wait. We come here more often than I... want to admit. The pastries are great and the drinks are delicious I love how the seaonal drinks have toppings!! I love thefruity penble rice crispy. I wish there were more fresh gf treats. Id buy them all! It has a really cool, modern vibe. Greatplace to sit and eat outside. With outside seating and occasional live music. The logistics of the line are a little confusing.I think they should swap the entry and exit doors for better flow. Read more
This place seemed popular so I figured I?d go on a Monday morning. First of all, I was so confused because I guess there was too... many people inside that they had everyone cluster outside until they felt like allowing you inside. It was my first time thereand I tried opening the door and another customer yelled at me telling me to get in the back of the line waiting. Sorry, I hadno idea. My friend and I finally get inside and everyone was like racing and running around. I honestly didn?t know where tolook first or how the process worked. We ordered paninis from the deli and wanted a coffee as well. There were a lot of goodoptions on the menu. There were a lot of stuck-up customers in there; although, there was 1 nice woman who pointed us in theright direction. We finally get on line and order our coffees and pay for the sandwiches. One thing we noticed while waiting online is that a lot of the baked stuff on the shelves don?t have prices on it. I guess it?s a mystery. When we paid, we didn?teven receive a receipt to know what we even paid for lol It is very nicely set-up outside with tables to sit and eat. However,it was so packed that people were reserving multiple tables for themselves unfortunately. As we were waiting for our coffees, awoman goes up to my coffee on the ledge and starts poking at the Cinnabon with her fingers. Meanwhile, it wasn?t even hers. Thewoman behind the counter was nice enough to replace the Cinnabon. I would love to come back and try so many other things.Everything tasted so good. I just wish there was a little more organization in there though. Customers were pushing each otherbecause of how crowded it was and they felt entitled. It was overwhelming and hectic, but really good nonetheless. (Afterreading a dozen reviews, it seems the common denominator complaints are the poor organization, surprise prices with no receipts,no price tags on items, confusing process, and rude people) Read more
My GF and TikTok brought me here. LBI and summer eats? It?s a shore thing if you?re looking for an awesome meal. Part Italian... deli, part cafe, part pseudo Whole Foods. The food is inexpensive but BOMB! If you?re looking to punctuate your beach day with ayummy exclamation point then this is it. Protein was great and bread vehicle was clean. So don?t take my word for it; go and tryit yourself! Read more
This place is awesome! Parking is somewhat limited (there?s a small lot behind the building), but past that everything else is... great. Inside there?s a baked good/coffee bar, a mostly Italian themed market that leans heavy into the boars head brand (loveto see it by the way), and a little deli you can order sandwiches from (you speak over the counter to order). The Italian in mewas extremely happy to see the market?s options and the sandwich I got was also spot on. Once you get a pastry/coffee/sandwichyou can sit outside to enjoy it or take it with you to go. They have both outdoor dining uncovered and covered which is nice.Overall I can?t wait to go back!

Best local take out eatery on the island! Amazing fresh made food. Large selection of homemade pre made food. Delicious hot and... cold sandwiches, handcrafted coffee drinks and a knockout homemade pastry bar. So many unique different items to try each timeyou visit. A local gem! A must go to!! Read more
Food got so much better than my past reviews. We ordered the tuna melt that's smothered in havarti cheese, lettuce and tomato.... Delicious! I ordered the turkey Joe that's the same as a Reuben with turkey made as a panini! Excellent! We brought home Koreanflank steak, chocolate coffee crumb cake, crab cakes, wild salmon, eggplant stacks, chicken Cesar salad, and a salmon Cesarsalad always great to grab some stuff and just heat up. Everything is local and excellent. The Bread and some pastries are fromNY. The coffee is the best my daughter loved her girl scout cookie latte and hubby loves the Jamaican coffee. Read more
Great place to grab sandwiches with friends. The little market was also great. It had a lot of options for everyone including... gluten free products from simple mills and go macro bars. It?s a cute little spot that has a parking lot. The outdoor area iswalled in and has heaters which was great for a cooler morning. Read more
