Surf Road Coffee Bar & Beach Bowls in Galloway, NJ

So there I was at Seaview, trying to avoid a sand trap and a sunburn, when who do I bump into but Veruca. You know, the one who wants her coffee hot, her ice cream cold, and everything else done yesterday. She starts yammering about the tolls going up, but the roads looking like they’ve been through a cheese grater. I mean, really, hon, it’s like paying more to sit in traffic and count potholes. But hey, that’s the Jersey way, right? We pay for the privilege of complaining. Anyway, just as I’m about to launch into my stand-up routine about toll booths, Veruca shifts gears and starts raving about this place called Surf Road Coffee Bar & Beach Bowls in Galloway. Now, yous know I’ve got my ear to the ground. I’ve heard whispers and tasted the goods myself. This joint is like a hidden gem buried in acai bowls. Folks say the “Buried Treasure” bowl is a 10/10, though someone did mention they’d trade a firstborn for a bit more granola. But who’s counting? Then there’s the “El Dorado” bowl, which is apparently worth its weight in gold, especially with that candied ginger. A little zing to wake you up faster than a dip in the Atlantic. And don’t even get me started on the “Green Room Bowl.” It’s like eating a garden party, delightful and refreshing, perfect for those hot Jersey days when the humidity makes you feel like you’re swimming through the air. And if you’re more of a caffeine fiend, rumor has it their coffee is so good, people are getting it delivered to their doorsteps. Now that’s service. One gal swears by it, says they never disappoint. And trust me, in this town, that’s high praise. So if you find yourself in Galloway with a hankering for something fresh and fabulous, swing by 615 E Moss Mill Rd. You might just find yourself a new favorite spot. Just don’t blame me if you end up addicted to their bowls and brews.
