All you folks in the Highlands area looking for a great place for breakfast, you’ll find it next week when Donna opens Gem’s Bagels in the former Katz Confectionary on Bay Ave.
Everybody in Keansburg already knows about Donna’s great personality, her hard working attitude and her belief that enjoying a great cup of coffee and a bagel with friends is the perfect way to start the day.
For Donna, this is her second breakfast and lunch eatery, having started the popular place in Keansburg 20 years ago. But she’s been hard at work with her brother in the seven he owns, including the bagel shop at Campbell’s Junction in Middletown. All of which gives you a great idea of how delicious the food will be, how happy the customers will be and how Donna loves her job and loves meeting new people.
She finished up with all the necessary work at Highlands Borough Hall this week and just has to arrange her furniture, get in all her supplies and open the doors.
Look for a Tuesday or Wednesday opening and know from then on, she’ll be open seven days a week from 6 a.m. on. “Or maybe, earlier,” she laughs, “if there’s a need, I’ll be here anyway and the door will be open.”
For Donna, Gems is a Happy Place and from all indications, that’s what it’s going to be to all her customers as well.
