@prepcoffeeco located in Old Bridge, NJ has DELICIOUS and adorable holiday lattes!

We went over to try their snowman s’mores iced latte, and it was amazing. We also got a peanut butter iced latte with mocha cold foam, and a rainbow cookie iced latte for the road because WOW. 🤩 The flavors were insanely accurate.

We also enjoyed their salmon avocado toast, their honey burrata toast, and a BLT+C on an everything bagel 🔥

This place is super cute and comfy, perfect for a quick morning stop-in or a yap sesh. This might just be one of your new favorite coffee spots! 👀 🫶

@eatalynewjersey JUST opened up within the @mallatshorthills and it’s definitely worth visiting if you’ve been searching for some authentic, fresh, Italian cuisine.

We especially loved the shareable dishes - that pizza was top notch! ⭐️🍕

Even if you don’t go for the dinner, just walking around the market was a super fun experience. The whole market looked delicious, and they even had some gift boxes which could make a really great gift for your Italian-food-loving friends this holiday season.

If you haven’t tried @broadst_doughco yet, you are MISSING OUT. These donuts were so flavorful and decadent. The perfect sweet treat. 🍩✨

They have mini and regular sized versions of each donut for when you’re in the mood for a smaller bite. 🤏

And the best part? The majority of them are VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE. 😍 They are very allergy conscious!

When you go, make sure you really take your time to look through the entire menu on the wall because there are so many choices. It was tough to come down to just four. 😅

These also make for a great thanksgiving dessert, as they are available for special event catering! 🦃🎉

Go give them a try and let us know what you think in the comments! 🙌
