“What a fabulous little shop! I stopped in looking for rolling papers for my dad who just moved to town and is on bedrest from a recent surgery. I was greeted by smiling faces and purchased some rad products PLUS they gave me a goodie bag. He was so happy!! Shout out to fellow Jen for spreading love and light. My dad will be visiting :)”
“Stopped in on an early dreary day. The lady who was there was very kind. Beautiful singing voice. I needed a lip balm, grabbed one from My Girls Local Honey. I had exactly $4 and it was accepted. It's always nice meeting another kind and empathetic human.”
“I can't say enough nice things about this place. It's on my shopping list every Christmas. The hands on service to the free gift wrapping cannot be beat. Definitely worth every penny and then some. Such beautiful merchandise.”
“The BEST place in Lavallette. I adore this business, and so does my son!
I grew up living in Lavallette ( my grandmother owned her home and my cousin purchased it) Home away from home ❤️
It’s an oasis. You walk in and want to keep that energy forever! I would sleep in there if allowed ?.
My number one love of this business… they respect Sharks. I am a massive supporter in preservation of sharks !
Brian and Dot travel constantly and bring back many gifts, that’s those of us couldn’t get. We purchase them. ❤️. They find GEMS that we can’t always find ??
Another plus… they LOVE and RESPECT sharks.
For me it’s a win, win. I adore this business and if you really care about the ocean… this place is for you! The owners bring their gifts home to us!
So definitely shop here !!
And get yourself some local Bracelets!”
“Quaint, tasteful notions in a heartwarming and welcoming storefront. Wonderful old-time Leon Redbone jazz recordings playing in the background add to the lovely ambiance. The proprietor is a gentleman of the type from a bygone era, patient and charming. Do not miss this gem in Spring Lake!”
“Lots of neat gift items, unique jewelry and fun gift items and clothing. They also had some nice smelling soaps and lotions. Staff were very friendly and careful wrapping out items”

“I’ve been shopping here since i was in high school, always finding something beautiful and eclectic enough to never buy the same thing as someone else. The owner is amazing, so sweet and welcoming, which is why I’ve always come back to her. Jesse is one of my favorite hidden gems of Manasquan.”
“Living in Colorado and growing up in New Jersey, I finally found a store that I’m comfortable with. Ordered a hat and it is exactly what was advertised and got it in a reasonable amount of time!”
“This is a great store. They carry unique items. The owners are awesome.I would strongly suggest dropping in if you are in Ocean Grove. I always leave with something.”

“I love the shop owner and her staff. They are always friendly and very helpful. Have gotten some good deals in the past on Steiff Collectibles. I highly recommend this shopping experience in Ocean Grove! A real treasure!”
“This is a small boutique shop with lots of shore items... Customer service is great..they gift wrap and will special order items for you if they're able. The only downside is parking especially in the summer.”
“Cassidy at East Meets West in the Ocean County Mall helped me have the best shopping experience I’ve ever had at that particular store, and yes, of course I am older and have been shopping there since EMW opened in the mall forever-ago; however, I am pretty confident that nobody who has ever helped me there has displayed such a sincere and appreciable degree of enthusiasm. I told her I was going to pick up a couple of items and maybe she could think of a recommendation based on what I already enjoyed and was about to purchase. Well, lol, for one thing, there was no hesitation, lol again, and instead of saying, “Oh, you’ll probably like this one,” and pointing at it from across the store, she smiled and wanted to help. I was honestly surprised by her reaction, and the immediate action she took by walking me over to the product she was recommending. I guess it was just fun to see someone who looked happy to be working, to be helping someone. Thanks, Cassidy, your efforts are appreciated.”
“Kosher place in the heart of lakewood , next to everything , also they have the best gifts ever and a onsite florist who makes arrangements to go !!! I want to give it more than 5 stars but I can't !!!!!”
“Great shop with so many beautiful items for sale. I could spend hours in this shop. You will not leave empty handed. Pam does great work and it shows. Plus, she and her staff are so friendly. They treat everone just like family. I love The Yellow Daisy! Definitely a must see when visiting Manasquan NJ.”
“Beautiful store. The two women that work here (I believe the owners) are sweethearts, kind and helpful. I found a lamp, windchimes, and plenty of seahorse items. We will be sure to stop in for every visit! Please start shipping :)”

“I have been going to Ocean Grove for vacation for several years now. I make it a point to visit the Comfort Zone on every trip. I love there selection of children's books and toys. I recently asked about a book I was looking for about the shark attacks on the Jersey Shore back in 1916. The owner of the store knew exactly what I was looking for but it was out of stock. He got on the phone and ordered for me. When it came in he called and sent to me. There items and products for every thing imaginable. I will be stopping by next year for sure. Marty H.

“Mecca for Sunny Angels collectors owner so sweet and I loved the huge array of Sonny angel collectibles as well as interesting collectibles ! So welcoming and fun to browse in the store!!!”
“Really cool shop! They have a lot of fun options without being too overwhelming. Got a beautiful bralette that was well priced, and had to stop looking at all the candle options! Great selection.”
“Always a favorite for a quick gift. From soft goods to nice everyday jewelry you can find it at Stella Luna. They do sea shore stuff but there is plenty of non sea shore merchandising also. I love the jewelry both brand name as well as local artists. Lots of decorating items. Stop in if you have a reason. It's worth the trip for sure.”
“I love this boutique. It is always clean, and welcoming. They have the best staff and are always prepared for the crazy summer rush of people. The fitting rooms are always clean. I recommend this place to everyone!! Especially people looking for a gift or some merch to bring back home.”

“They helped me surprise my son, who recently moved away from home ?. I sent him a fruit arrangement to celebrate Easter ?. His reaction was priceless. Thank you!!”
“A lot of fun but way too many restrictions. No beach after 7…. I thought it was a public beach? Security guards have guns and police do not….. fun atmosphere, very hot today but the boardwalk was nice with the breeze off the Atlantic…”
“I have spoken to Allison the owner from the Coastal Cottage., and although I have not been in the store as of yet, her items are unique and beautiful listed on her website. Her customer service and help exceeded my expectations. She responds promptly and is caring and helpful. I would recommend the Coastal Cottage in Bay Head for all of your gift giving needs.”
