Brunch in Lincroft, why Tatum's Table stands out

Getting your caffeine fix doesn’t have to be all business. Even if you’re a plain black coffee person, finding the right place to get it can become more of an experience than a necessity.

One café in Monmouth County, NJ takes that idea to heart, and it just celebrated two years in business.

Tatum’s Table in Lincroft, NJ

Started by a young entrepreneur, Tatum Menake (when she was only 20 years old), Tatum’s Table has become a brunch destination, serving breakfast and lunch favorites like you’ve never seen them before.

I seriously don’t know how anyone could possibly stop here and not take photos. This may be the most instagram-able brunch spot in New Jersey.

They have starters, breakfast staples, sandwiches, paninis, burgers, bowls, salads, sides, coffee, tea, chai, matcha, and specialty drinks.

Tatum’s Table has pretty simple goals when it comes to their day to day operations:

☕ Serve exceptional food
☕ Create memorable experiences
☕ Treat every guest like family

Their creative menu elevates familiar flavors by serving fresh ingredients in a beautiful presentation.

For instance, why get one kind of Mac and cheese when you can get a whole flight? Finding your favorite flavor has never looked so good.

My favorite part of the Tatum’s experience is that they don’t always serve your specialty beverage in a standard coffee mug. That’s so passé.

One way you can sip on your drink is out of a massive wine glass.

However, the way that impressed me the most because I’ve never seen it anywhere else, is having a latte served to you in a purse.

This unique way of having your pick-me-up is in a glass handbag that has five shots of espresso and can be shared with up to four people.

I would need self control because I think the ice in my latte would melt before I was done taking photos of this masterpiece.

Tatum’s Table is located at 650 Newman Springs Rd in Lincroft, NJ.

They are open daily from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m..

Sip up and enjoy!

New and classic favorites: The best dive bars in New Jersey

The term "dive bar" used to be something derogatory. Nowadays it's more of a badge of honor to say to own one, go to one, or work at one.

We started in South Jersey, stopped A LOT in Central Jersey and ended in North Jersey. We left out the Jersey Shore bar because there are just too many to choose from. If your favorite isn't on the list, don't be offended, just tell us about it. Here we go...
