As of September 2, 2025, the Dunkin’ location on 588 Ocean Boulevard in Long Branch, NJ, is no longer kosher certified, according to the Jersey Shore Orthodox Rabbinate (JSOR). The shop has officially not renewed its kosher certification, impacting both local residents and the many summer visitors who frequent this area.
For years, this Dunkin’ has been a convenient stop for kosher-observant customers in the Long Branch community, especially during the busy summer season when the Jersey Shore attracts thousands of visitors from across New Jersey, New York, and beyond. Under JSOR supervision, the store previously ensured that beverages, baked goods, and other menu items met kosher standards.
Now that the certification has ended, products purchased at this Dunkin’ location should no longer be assumed kosher. JSOR advises customers to always verify kosher status before making purchases and to be cautious when ordering from this branch going forward.
While JSOR has not provided details about the decision, the update highlights the importance of staying informed about certification changes. Thankfully, there are still several other kosher-certified coffee shops and bakeries in the Long Branch area for those seeking alternatives. Visitors can use the YeahThatsKosher KosherNearMe app to easily locate certified establishments nearby.
With this change now in effect, anyone visiting or living in the Long Branch area should confirm kosher supervision directly with JSOR or trusted local directories. As of today, the Dunkin’ on Ocean Boulevard is operating without kosher certification.
