I’ve also enjoyed Meemom’s (in Wall), where there’s always a wait. But my friends who love the sweet stuff for brunch LOVE their french toast options.
In Asbury Park:
Cardinal Provisions has THE best chicken and waffles I’ve ever had. Period. Excellent coffee, as well. While it’s hard for me not to order the c&w, everything else I’ve tried from friends’ plates is spot on too…
Talula’s also does brunch, although if I’m staying in AP, I tend to go to Cardinal for brunch and save Talula’s for dinner. But it’s not like it’s bad… 
I have to say this…don’t bother with Toast. PLEASE. It’s totally mediocre and overpriced to boot, and I’ve never understood how people will wait for standard (again, mediocre) diner food.
In Bradley Beach:
The Buttered Biscuit is a winner; it’s that simple. You can get all of the standards, but I’d recommend anything with one of their biscuits, and I’m a fan of their corned beef hash as well. They’re serving TM Ward coffee, which I’m also fond of.
