Filoncino Bakery Cafe in Red Bank offers a rich blend of café and casual dining experiences with a distinctly Italian flair. This spot works well for anyone looking to settle in for a relaxed breakfast or brunch, or to enjoy a coffee break with a side of fresh-baked pastries. The atmosphere strikes a balance between bustling neighborhood bakery and inviting café, drawing in locals who appreciate thoughtfully prepared food alongside quality coffee.

The fresh breads and pastries are clearly a highlight here, with many customers praising the warm Italian rolls, gluten-free options, and a range of visually appealing, handcrafted sweets. The café’s sandwich and panini offerings, especially when served on brick oven bread, seem to be a strong draw for those looking for a heartier bite. Not only do these stand out for taste, but portions tend to be generous, making Filoncino a spot where you won’t leave feeling shortchanged.

On the beverage side, the coffee is carefully made, with options like Honey Oat Coffee and Crown Ice Tea adding some local character to the menu. The vibe is casual yet polished, perfect for a mid-morning coffee catch-up or a laid-back afternoon break. Staff are attentive and friendly, which helps create a welcoming environment that encourages lingering over a book or laptop.

Filoncino’s location on Bridge Avenue places it conveniently within easy reach of the downtown Red Bank area, making it a natural morning or midday stop for locals and visitors alike. Best times to visit tend to be weekday mornings or early afternoons when the space feels lively but not crowded, allowing for either quick grabs or relaxed dining.

Though they do close on Sundays—which might surprise some—the rest of the week provides plenty of opportunity to explore their eclectic menu, from mini rice balls with marinara to fresh market salads, making it appealing for a variety of tastes and dietary preferences.

This bakery and cafe has delicious food and beverage options. Their menu is extensive, which made it difficult to choose! Their bread is baked freshly on the premises and my sandwich was served on a warm Italian roll. Staff is friendly and provide great service.

This place blows your mind with the beauty! The place is gorgeous and elegant! Even the bathroom is stunning. Everywhere you look it is beautiful! And then there is the food! Absolutely astounding! The fig and ricotta bread is to die for. The gluten free bread was the best I have ever had. How do they do it? The pastries are gorgeous! I wish we had bought the strudels: 4 different fruit flavors. I had the pork sausage. The portions are very generous. This is now my new favorite cafe!!! So happy they came from Staten Island over to Red Bank! What a blessing for NJ!!!

This, no joke, may have been one of the best cafes I’ve been to! Their sandwiches are amazing, ask to have them on their brick oven bread, you will not be disappointed! You cannot skip on their pastries, between their cannolis and their rainbow cookies they were to die for! They also serve cupcakes with cannoli cream and they were to die for! I will definitely be coming back!

The food here is absolutely amazing! Everything is fresh & the portions are nice and big. Also they have the best desserts ever. The chocolate bread is so good and the Pignoli cookies are the best I’ve had by far. 10/10 recommend!

Best cheesesteak I’ve had outside of Philly, and it stacks up against Angelos, JRP, Steaks, etc… other stuff is good too and staff is nice they’re closed on Sunday which is arguably the best day for a sandwich

I had already written a review, but I’m not sure what happened to it so here goes. The place is absolutely beautiful. A lot of thought was put into the design. I really appreciate the vegan menu since I’m a vegan chef there’s not many places to get an entire breakfast, lunch and dinner menu so thank you Sal and family for that. The bread that I bought was warm from the oven. It’s delicious I try to vegan cookie also very good. I wish them the very best. They obviously did their homework.

Over 100 sandwiches I love this. First time here and so excited to see a new dining experience in Red Bank, where I was raised same currently reside. Cute atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. I am excited to see what to order next. The salad and hot vanilla matcha were a hit!
