Booskerdoo Coffee & Baking Co. Asbury Park

Gil Lhotka★★★★★a month ago

If you're cruising through Uptown Asbury Park you must stop by here. Booskerdoo isn’t just your standard pitstop for caffeine; this is their main roasting mothership, and you can see (and smell when roasting) the serious business the second you walk up to the door. Let's talk about that liquid gold. I ordered a hot latte with whole milk, finished off with a quick dusting of cinnamon over the foam. One sip and I was hooked, we’re talking a rich, velvety microfoam floating over espresso so balanced it could walk a tightrope. Naturally, because I never meet a light roast I don't like, I got a cup of their Guatemalan El Panal to go. Bright, clean, and really smooth. It’s proof these folks know exactly what they’re doing with a coffee bean. (I hope to get there some day in my micro roaster at home. lol). Now, I didn't initially plan on grabbing a bite, but the pastry case is a complete trap. While those peanut butter and jelly bars almost lured me in, I ended up pairing my latte with a fresh cranberry scone. It was a match made in coffee heaven. Flaky, tender, delightfully buttery, and studded with cranberries, it’s the exact kind of pastry that turns a quick coffee run into a full-blown Sit back and relax) lingering experience. The real showstopper inside, though, is the giant Diedrich roaster sitting right out on the floor alongside literal pallets of green coffee beans. You see Booskerdoo beans popping up at spots all over the Jersey Shore, so seeing the actual industrial engine where the magic happens is really cool. My only minor tragedy of the day? The roaster wasn't firing while I was there. I would’ve loved to hear that machine humming and soak in the full aroma of fresh-roasting beans, but hey, that just gives me an excuse to come back tomorrow.

It was our first time here. So glad we went! Great place to grab yourself a good, hot, nutritious breakfast at 7:30 in the morning by the beach! There are enough chairs and tables to sit with your dog(s) outside. I had the Vegan Egg Sammy! Yummmmmm! My husband had the regular Egg Sammy - also yumm and filling! The coffee and matcha were good too!

Wonderful staff!! I ended up purchasing some coffee beans and some merch...i was overwhelmed (in a good way) of what was on the menu and was so happy I chose a malted cold brew. They made it just right. Since they roast onsite I will be back to purchase more beans. Did I mention they are not far from the beach? Perfect stop to start your beach day or on the way home...cold brew kept me fueled for that parkway drive home.
