Circa Restaurant Lakewood — Restaurant in Lakewood Township

Well I checked here on Google Maps when I got to lakewood where to eat it was 8:00AM so it recommended me "circa. Ok so not too far to go so I took an uber payed $8 got to the store at 8:10 I approached the door "it was LOCKED! After 2 min which is 8:13 one worker comes and opens the door so you know as Hungary as I am, I walk in what I see is there only in middle of preparations so you know he opened the door for me that must mean that hes ready to serve customers right? NO! He told us that food is not ready for at least another 20 min! And all the food looked like it was coming from the Fridge or Freezer "NOT FRESH AT ALL! Which was time I didnt have "and dont forget this is a "Breakfast" shop.

So disappointedly Me and my Friend had to take another uber for Another $10 over to different store. This time we went to a place called "4 CORNERS BAGEL" and oh man I walked in and the place was up and running with a full menu not pricey at all. I asked the workers there what time they open They Andwered "6AM" Wow that's what I mean! The food here was fresh here on the spot.

P.S: This was just My Honest opinion, I'm not from lakewood I have nothing In common with this store it's all my opinion from being there...

They gave us good and accurate advice, understood we were a bit harried. The food was excellent. The set up was excellent. The guests were satisfied. The kids were happy. I will be making more simchos here again for sure. And to think I almost went with cheap fleishigs in a shul...

We did a private party. The food was very good. I can't give more than a 3 for service. The service at the party was very good, our waiter was nice and very helpful. The "service" in planning the party was difficult. The atmosphere did not get a 5, because we made a daytime event. It was a beautiful day with the sun shining brightly. Problem, NO SHADES. The room was extremely hot. Was a bit embarrassing when the guests of honors had to keep moving their tables to get out of the sun. So, for evening event your good, unless...
