As you drive through the suburban area of West Long Branch, about three miles from the waterfront, you’ll likely pass by a few generic-looking gas stations. If you don’t need gas, you might pass right by – but then you might miss one of the best culinary gems near the Jersey Shore. At a gas station complex named Gas Land, you’ll find a filling station, a convenience store – and a cafe called Busy Bees Roasters and Coffee Shop. This gas station bakery in New Jersey is offering much more than just your standard danishes and donuts. It’s an authentic Brazilian cafe featuring pastries and sandwiches from South America, crafted fresh on-site by a dedicated team of workers well-versed in classic recipes. It may be the most well-hidden culinary destination at the shore, and it’s not to be missed.
