New businesses come to Northfield

Business Buzz

Northfield has a new secret, and you can smell it a mile away. I was driving down Tilton Road and smelled some great food. As I turned into the new restaurant, Molly’s Kitchen, located at 705 Tilton Road, I was excited to meet the owners, Molly and Mateo Cohen.

I discovered that they have a complete lunch menu that ranges from burgers and wraps to a variety of seafood sandwich items. Molly mentioned that their biggest hit has been their must-try lobster roll. Molly and Mateo, who also own Lakeside Grill in Smithville, are looking forward to opening Molly’s Kitchen for breakfast in the near future.

Neighboring business Music and Arts, located at 555 Tilton Road, is a hidden gem where you can toot your own horn. I was amazed to discover this complete music store in Northfield, NJ. The Music and Arts location offers guitar, horn, and vocal lessons, instrument repairs, rentals, and educational information.

“We are a true one-stop shop,” mentioned Ryan Vezinho, manager of Music and Arts.

With stores in Marlton, Toms River, and Lewes, Delaware, Music and Arts has everything you need.

“The people who provide the instructions are second to none,” said Ryan Vexinho.

Lastly, we have the Jersey Kitchen and Bath located at 1000 Tilton Road, which opened in Spring 2023. Previously the iconic Arnold’s Pet Store, this magnificent new showroom features a state-of-the-art display of marble and granite where customers can relax in a custom-designed environment.

“We wanted to provide an atmosphere to make it easy for our customers to visualize their dream kitchens and baths,” said the store owner. “In addition, we offer full flooring choices to complement all distinctive designs.”
