About

Twisted Tree Cafe stands out as the first primarily vegan spot in Asbury Park, a claim backed by its 2003 opening well before plant-based eating hit the mainstream. This cafe serves vegetarian fare with strong vegan options, plus coffee, smoothies, and fresh baked goods. The vibe is casual and relaxed, with occasional live local music. It's a place where you'll find locals grabbing a bite after a morning at the beach. Yelp confirms outdoor seating, so you can enjoy your meal al fresco. Since the cafe sources local, GMO-free, and organic ingredients when possible, you're getting food that's minimally processed. Just keep in mind that this venue may be permanently closed according to Yelp, so double check before heading out.

The cafe's hours are limited: Thursday through Sunday, 10am to 4pm. That means you'll want to plan a late breakfast or early lunch visit. Because it's open only four days a week, the crowd tends to be steady but not overwhelming. Regulars appreciate the baked goods selection, which changes daily. It's intentionally a low-key spot designed for health-minded diners who want to treat themselves naturally.
