Tucked into Avon-by-the-Sea, Maeberrie Market has earned its reputation as a must-visit Shore destination for thoughtfully crafted breakfast and lunch fare.

Co-owned by Keri DeCorso and Michael Halsey, with Chef Salvatore Capobianco leading the kitchen, this 2019 venture brings the trio’s collective experience from Asbury Park’s beloved Pascal & Sabine to a quaint, ingredient-driven concept.

The kitchen delivers a concise, seasonally rotating menu rooted in quality: think locally roasted gourmet coffee, free-range eggs, and pasture-raised poultry. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options ensure inclusivity, while the BYO-friendly policy includes a playful twist—artisanal sorbet to elevate your mimosa game.

Split into two distinct spaces, Maeberrie Market blends cozy dining with boutique charm:
The Dining Room: A nostalgic, intimate retreat with dark wood floors, vintage furnishings, and built-in bookshelves. Soothing background music complements the understated elegance.
The Market/Café: A sunlit counter offering house-made pastries, fresh lemonade, espresso drinks, and curated homegoods. Grab a latte and browse floral arrangements or vintage finds.

Weekend & Summer Crowds: Prepare for waits up to 45 minutes during peak times. No reservations—seating is first-come, first-served.

Atmosphere: Quiet, nostalgic, and adults-focused. Not ideal for children.

Hours: Open Wednesday–Saturday for breakfast and lunch.

Service is welcoming and attentive, enhancing the laid-back yet refined vibe.

Whether savoring a slow-paced brunch in the dining room or grabbing a flaky pastry to-go from the market, Maeberrie Market captures the Shore’s breezy charm with every locally sourced bite.
