Inbetween Cafe — Restaurant in Red Bank

Best breakfast place in Red Bank, to be sure. We avoided the Inbetween for awhile because A) there's always a wait & B) we were worried about the whole sitting-with-other-people thing. Luckily, they have a few two-person tables, & we snagged one of those one a lazy weekday morning. We've since been back a few times, & every time has been just as good.

I love any place with handwritten specials inserted into the menus, & Inbetween provides. The places is always decorated in accordance with the nearest upcoming holiday, which is fun, & sometimes the specials are related, too. The first time there, for example, just before Halloween I tried pumpkin bread French toast; now I can probably never return to normal French toast again.

The service is iffy. Sometimes you'll get a really friendly server but a really crotchety busser, or vice versa, but for the most part, they get it done. We've always been served in a timely fashion, never had any issues with delays or substitutions. In fact, I usually make up some breakfast sandwich that's not on the menu, & they're always accommodating.

The only downside to the Inbetween, I'd say, is the fact that you might have to sit with strangers, which I don't dig at all. We haven't had to do it yet, but it might deter me, if we did. Still, the food is good enough & the experience peasant enough that it's worth a go, especially if you can get in on a weekday when they're slow enough that you won't need to share your space with folks...

we've been loyal customers of the inbetween cafe for 4 years since we moved into town. looking at one of the other reviews, i realize the owner is an awful person.

the food is fine, but don't dare coming if you have a family with babies or young children. our 16 month old son cried a couple of times, and the owner came out of the kitchen to rudely tell us to silence our son or leave. after we immediately packed up our stuff to leave, i requested to speak with the owner. after making we wait 15 minutes, and after asking several of the staff members, he finally invited me into the kitchen. i calmly asked him if they don't welcome families here. he said not for kids who cry. so i asked him if he doesn't want us to return then? he said, "in fact, no, now please leave my kitchen, you are trespassing." i have never in my life been treated as such.

we will indeed not be returning, and if you have children, please do...

Have been coming here for 45+ years. Great breakfast and lunch spot - one of a handful of decent restaurants in Red Bank. Check out the specials, such as Hot Pot Roast, Sauerbraten, Omelets. Great Pork Roll with egg and cheese breakfast sandwhich.

While I hate to say it, the place REALLY went downhill for a few years. Not so much the food, but rather the attitude of Bob, the owner at the time. Unfriendly and at times downright rude, to me and to his help. Yes, I do expext things were tough during covid, but that is no excuse to take it out on a customer who has been coming in for 50 years. My weekly visits for Saturday brunch or lunch became occasional. I decided to come in for breakfast (still the best in Red Bank) and was thrilled to find out Bob was gone and Raul was the new owner. Same great food now with a much improved attitude. The Gaspacho soup today was...
