Dune Donuts and Bagels — Restaurant in Spring Lake

8/7/22 UPDATE: I live in North Jersey 90 miles away but happened to be in the area today so I drove 22 miles (one way) out of my way to grab lunch here today. As usual everything we ordered was PHENOMENAL but decided to treat myself to a donut. Wish I hadn't because now I'm going to be racking up miles and burning gas just to go back for the donuts. Honestly the ABSOLUTE BEST glazed donut I EVER HAD! PERIOD! If you don't believe me try for yourself. If you don't agree with me tell me where you find better and I'll buy you a dozen. Again I'm warning you the food at this place is addictive.

Original post: We went to our usual place to grab a quick lunch and was totally disappointed to see they were closed for a few days vacation. Feeling devestated we got in the car and just happened to drive past Dune Donuts and people were inside. I turned the car around and decided to give them a try and COULDN'T BE HAPPIER with that decision! I had a difficult time deciding on what to have because everything looked so good but we ended up getting the Spicy Roast Beef on an Everything Egg Bagel and an Egg & Cheese on a Plain Bagel. First off these are HUGE and so filling we only each had half of them and the other half for lunch the next day. Nothing it too hot or spicy for me but if you're a little timid you can still have the Spicy Roast Beef and not feel like your mouth is melting off. They must have used 2 jumbo eggs because it was so thick you need a fork and knife to eat it. Perfect for breakfast if you want to skip lunch. I plan to work my way down the menu and will update my post as I do. I only wish they offered more vegetarian and vegan options because I prefer to eat that but it was great to indulge in a treat. If you want to have an incredibly good meal YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE! When you go be sure to ask for the Vegan Girl (who is AWESOME) and give her ideas for vegan and vegetarian sandwiches you would like to see on the menu because it's too good for you to miss out because of limitations on the ingredients you eat. While I was waiting I read about the owner and why he opened the place. You can tell that they have a real passion for sharing food as if they were making it for family! I'm hooked. Don't say I...

My wife and I were staying at the Chateau Inn in Spring Lake for three nights. We decided the first morning to just have a quick breakfast and off to the beach. We decided to go to Dune donuts and bagels. My wife had a bagel with cream cheese and I had the Southwest breakfast. Great service and great food. We sat at a table outside and just had a great time talking to the owner and some of the staff and locals. They delivered our breakfast to the table and we just enjoyed it. We were going to try a few other places for breakfast but decided to go here the remaining two mornings! Oh by the way, if you don't want to shake the sand off your feet while at the beach, they deliver! You Gotta try the mini donuts, we took two boxes home to share with our...

No vegan cream cheese nor any vegan lunch sandwich options (e.g., tempeh bacon, beyond meat sausage and burgers, hummus, items with protein.). But the bagels are great and their donuts look incredible (not vegan either). Their delivery service to the beach and inns is fantastic and fun in their little golf cart. Very creative inside - out everything bagel option! They just need to update their menu to get some vegan options. So we won't be back until their are vegan options available but are rooting for this little place as it is a gem. I would have given it a 3 rating for the lack of vegan options but the owner wrote such a nice reply that I upgraded to a 4. They clearly care about...
