et al fine food

Stopped by the other day for breakfast and had a great experience! Outdoor seating was very cute and it was dog friendly! Staff was really nice, had breakfast sandwiches and pasteurized that were all very good.

I have stopped in here a few times for coffee (which is excellent) but finally got around to having a cocktail and dinner and was blown away! The enclosed outdoor space is so cute & they run happy hours almost every day of the week. Great staff & very dog friendly!!

I just had coffee and it was great. Staff was amazing, great attitude, day and friendly service. Small indoors, if you need AC. Large shaded outdoors with bar (they are open until 9-10pm). Also additional outdoor seating (with umbrellas for side) by the koi pond complete with fish and waterfalls... Clean restrooms. Saw ready to eat packed salads and sandwiches, as well as some pastries.. Perfect spot to take a break.

so so good
croque monsieur sandwich is absolutely delicious; they know what they're doing

great choices
yummy coffee

lots of speciality items

very relaxing outdoor covered deck

with a waterfall adjacent

Had an incredible dinner last week. We sat outside next to the coy pound and sipped rose.... LOVED the salmon salad.

This cafe was fantastic! What a gem! I wish I were a local just so I could come here all the time. Was in town for the day and I had breakfast here and then had to come back twice more for coffee and then dinner. LOVED IT!

Etal is a top notch establishment in one of my favorite towns on shore - Highlands! Their new location is a huge upgrade that I stop by often for a quick bite and coffee, or many delicious grab & go options. The bar is great which overlooks a serene koi pond. Just a very warm, friendly, and relaxing place. The smashburger is amazing!

We frequently cater from Et Al. The menu changes seasonally and often offers unique items. We continue to be impressed with the quality and tastiness of the food. The prices are higher than other local restaurants/caterers, but well worth it.

Etal in Highlands delivers! Smashburger perfection - juicy, cheesy, saucy magic on a pillowy bun. Amazing Cocktails & a vibe that's warm, and welcoming. Etal's a winner!

The catering for a baby shower was not only beautiful to look at but tasted amazing
Highly recommend!

Just moved to the area and I work from home so always looking for good lunch pickup spots. Got a stellar recommendation from a family member who runs a catering biz in Manasquan. Decided to check it out. Ordered online and pick up was seamless! Great Panini, awesome smoothie, and welcoming service. Definitely going to check out brunch in person on the weekend!

Love the outdoor bar. Very cool on these warm days. Food is fantastic, great beer selection and drinks. We had the Cuban sandwich which was fantastic but I'm coming back for the smash burger!!

Et Al is the place in town to find delicious grab-and-go heat-and-eat meals. They are also able to heat a meal for you! There are two small tables indoors that are almost always available when it's feeling cool outside, but they are launching their outdoor cocktail bar this month. I went to the soft opening for the cocktail bar and I'm going to be a permanent fixture there this summer. If you're someone like me who really enjoys craft cocktails made from fresh squeezed juices with rosemary sprigs & fresh fruits (without any sour mix nastiness) then this is the spot. Outdoor seating includes a bar with a relaxing waterfall and koi fish pond. Steps away from the Seastreak Ferry.

Some must tries: try their home made fried plantains and add on their onion dip for a delicious snack. Their sandwiches are always on point- try the Tuscan. Their lemonades are incredible- look for their Bergamot Lemonade.

They also do catering so check their website.

The bread and food were fresh, the butternut squash and apple soup was outstanding, and Helena was wonderful to us. Definitely recommend.

My husband and I used et al fine food to cater our micro wedding aboard a river cruise. The prices were reasonable, communication and delivery were on point, and our guests RAVED about how delicious every bite was. Even the boat crew commented on how amazing their presentation was. All of the platters were served in lovely boxes that added such a charming and polished touch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Stopped by from pride in the park for a drink and it was so good! Tried their chocolate and lemon loafs and they were very tasty. Highly recommend!

Amazing hosts and even better food. The coconut cold brew is enough to get me coming back whenever I am in town. A must have for all coffee lovers. Marie is such a lovely host, and brought the food out to our group when ready, all with light banter and a smile. A must go to place

This is a great place for breakfast or lunch. The best bacan egg and cheese and blt sandwiches. Plus the other deli sandwiches are delicious! They use only top quality ingredients and I am very picky. The quality of service is very inviting as the owner always greets me and my daughter. The space is small but its so cute and cozy.

Had coffee and cake. Great Service, brand new clean place and good WiFi. We will be back for the happy hour smash burger !

Kim Ramin and her crew at Et Al Fine Food catered my wedding reception, which can best be summed up as an ongoing chorus of "Oh, how beautiful," followed by "Oh, how delicious." Guests loved the food and the professional servers who attended to their every need. As hosts, we loved the fact that we did not have to worry about a thing, so we could actually ENJOY the day, our family, and our friends.

I've since hired them for other events including a recent holiday party in my home. As usual, the food was sensational, the staff was excellent, and (I kid you not) they left the place cleaner and neater than they found it. They handled everything -- the menu, the rentals, the mixers -- and they did so calmly and with a smile.

Other details that matter:
They offered great options that fit our budget.
They delivered the service they promised.
They handled the occasional hiccups with ease (a food allergy of one guest, a wine spill of another, etc.).

I will be hiring them again.
