Don't let the 3.9 get you down. It's a smaller bistro-style place, with chalk-art-and green plant decor, creative drinks, and some great surprises. We got a banana chocolate latte, a dark caramel mocha (drink of the day) and a strawberry banana smoothie. All of these were great - my kids even liked the iced dark caramel chocolate latte. They sucked down the strawberry banana smoothie lickety split! Rolled in at noon, so got a chopped salad with chicken - great salad, fit with pickled onions and goat cheese which set it apart. Also got a fried chicken sandwich with cabbage and Whoa! This was SO GOOD! Don't miss it! For the kids, got the grilled cheese, but hold on, it's not just any grilled cheese: goat cheese, fig spread, and...I can't even remember what else - BEST grilled cheese I have EVER tasted! Staff was friendly and responsive and quick. Perfect for our little ones and us! read more

Omg, the best thing to happen to Wildwood since the Morey's allowed alcohol sales on the boards. This is the some high-end quality sh!t. Food is scratch-made and out of this world. read more

Friendly staff, cute atmosphere, love that they have a little doggy station for your furry friends. However, I wasn't a fan of the coffees I've gotten. First time I got a iced black coffee and that was just ok! Wasn't anything to write home about but it was just black coffee so I decided to go out of my comfort zone and order something different... BIG mistake. I ordered a iced cinnamon dirty chai... (I've had this at other coffee shops so I knew what to expect) BUT at the little cafe I was given a literal cup of milk with no cinnamon in sight. I was even hesitant to take it from the girl when she called my name because of the way it looked... it wasn't good at all. I ended up going home and brewing my own coffee to add to cup of milk I paid for. My advice is be vocal and tell them EXACTLY how you want / expect your coffee otherwise you might leave disappointed... read more

Little expensive but hey, it's Trumps economy. Food is always good. Biscuits are amazing. Croissants are da bomb. Egg sandwich's are great

Decent latte. Iced coffee was meh. Bagels were solid. Jam on the chicken biscuit??? ...yeah, no. We were really upset when we asked about the dealbob option on the coffee menu. It must be from an older menu. Really wanted to know what the hell a dealbob was. Does anyone know? read more

Excellent. Everything we have from here is excellent plus they have gluten free options for my wife who has celiac. It's become our new go-to spot for breakfast. read more

Delicious homemade gluten free baked goods! Great coffee, smoothies, breakfast. Love the atmosphere.

Gluten free options and homemade biscuits the best! My grandkids love the breakfast sandwiches and hash browns!

OMG- best egg sandwich I've had in a long time!!! They don't advertise that they have the multi grain bread but they do! I got the egg sammie on toast, with sharp american cheese, bacon, and egg over medium. It was prepared perfectly. Wrapped in foil to keep warm and easy to eat. Odd that they didn't cut it in half but I ate it so quickly anyway. My latte was good. I couldn't taste the caramel so they gladly put more in. This place had a few people at 10am on a Saturday. We sat inside and ate our breakfast as the place quickly filled up. Service was friendly. They play upbeat music and the decor is super cute. Putting it in the rotation for all future visits to Wildwood Crest! read more

A lovely little (as the name suggests) place in Wildwood Crest. It's a year round place, which I'm a huge fan of, and they're churning out lovely looking bakery items and sandwiches. I opted for a pork roll, egg and cheese on brioche and it was exactly what it was supposed to be! I got my order to go, but staying and eating there is a great option too. The decor is peaceful and relaxing and they have a parking lot. I imagine I'll be coming here regularly! read more

Our go to breakfast spot every time we're at the shore. Steak and egg sandwich and the sunrise wrap are both phenomenal.

This was a great find of a breakfast spot! I'm sure their lunch options are also great but we were there for breakfast. Super cute place, friendly and attentive staff! Had scrambled egg, bacon, avocado on a biscuit- so well made!! Bacon was cooked perfectly and it was also so neatly made where it didn't fall apart! Definitely would be a go to spot for me! read more

Amazing service, delicious coffee, and a multitude of gluten free options! Some of the best GF crumb cake I've ever had. Even my picky partner loved it! Also had an amazing pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich on a gluten free brioche. Highly recommend! read more

I wanted to really like this place because it is nearby, locally owned, and open all year. The inside is beautiful, everything is extremely well kept, everything looks great. The staff is very friendly. But I can't get over the prices. I realize this is a Summer resort town, but there are plenty of other local businesses - including those near and on the boardwalk - that don't charge over $10 ($10.32 to be exact) for an egg/meat/cheese plain bagel breakfast sandwich. I didn't even look at the drinks and pastries after hearing the price of the sandwich. read more

Totally a five star. We have been here over a dozen times this summer and so happy each visit. Gluten free absolutely no problem as they have GF bread. The food is beyond delicious and fresh. The smoothies and iced coffee is my new addiction. Breakfast sandwiches have been our daily take out. The staff is hardworking and friendly. It's just a welcome place. read more

Stopped in for lunch. It's a very nice cafe with a variety of coffee drinks, smoothies, baked goods and foods. I ordered the BLT which was really tasty. It didn't have bread. The ingredients were so fresh. It was unique, served on top of a fried red tomato, slab of mozzarella cheese, bacon, lettuce, drizzled with a creamy avocado sauce. The tomato was nicely crisped. I think it would have tasted better with a fried green tomato vs. red, but that's just a personal preference. We also had the loaded tater tots and those were divine! Beautiful presentation, very large portion, enough for four people. Freshly chopped jalapeños with cheese sauce and bacon bits on top. We shoveled these down with a fork! The baked goods looked great. Maybe we will try them out another day. Limited outdoor seating during COVID19, and masks required inside. We happily walked out with full bellies and will definitely return soon. read more

I really want to like this place. It's adorable and conveniently located... but the coffee is flavorless. We've bought hot coffee, espresso drinks, and bags of ground coffee to bring home and all three had us scratching our heads, wondering why we couldn't taste the coffee. Today's triple espresso caramel latte with oat milk tastes only of oat milk. Considering the price, I am disappointed, BUT I will not give up on this place! My hope is that the owners see this review and finds another source for their coffee beans because I'd like to continue to patronize this cafe. On a positive note, the donuts are incredible. Fluffy, big, and tasty! read more

I love this place!! It's very clean, the staff is very friendly, and the food and drinks are the best in the area! Their cold brew coffee is excellent, all of the baked goods are fresh, and the sandwiches are great! Highly recommend and I can't wait to go back every time we're in Wildwood Crest! read more

Looked forward to eating here but was very disappointed. Placed an online order. Ordered two beach cruiser sandwichs for $11.00 each. Bagel was hard on one sandwich and vegan bread tasted old on the other sandwich. Lots of bread and skimpy on the meat and veggies. Also ordered bacon egg cheese on a biscuit. Also way more biscuit and skimpy on egg and cheese. Ordered pineapple iced green tea and they were out. It was ok and I was fine exchanging for a plain hot tea but they didn't refund me for the more expensive drink they didn't have. Also forgot the chocolate chip cookie I ordered. Worst $45 dollar breakfast ever read more

This place is tasty for a little breakfast spot but it's always so packed with people either waiting in line or waiting for their order near the counter. There is a corner with nice plants for sitting and a small patio outside with tables and seats but it's been so crowded every time I go in that I just can't wait to get out. The pastries and coffees are always good, I especially like their coffee flavors as an add-in, and milk selection at the counter (they don't charge extra for oat milk!). As tasty as it is their pricing is what keeps me from returning as a regular customer. I recently ordered a Regular Cold Brew and it rang up as over $7. The girl at the register said it was because they steep it for 72 hours. I scratched the the Cold Brew and ordered a Iced Coffee instead for a more reasonable $3 and change. Hopefully the set up will be a little different next year to adapt to the beach crowd. read more

I got a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel and it was one of the best I've had in a cafe! My boyfriend and I also got coffees and the coffee is certainly one of the best on the island that I have found the service is amazing all the girls behind bar were beautiful and nice women and the cafes look is incredibly beautiful and very beachy read more

Friendly accommodating local spot. Tasty Fresh baked items. Has both inside and outside seating.

The sunrise wrap was SO good! I substituted the turkey sausage with bacon and it was delicious. It comes with avocado , cheese, and hash browns. The cafe is so cute as well, and the staff is nice. Amazing experience! Would definitely come again read more

While I was in the area for the weekend my sister and I decided to try this place. I had the avocado toast with a scrambled egg over it and it was delicious! I also had an iced late with oat milk. The only thing I didn't like is the fact that my late tasted like oat milk only, I really didn't taste the actual coffee. read more

So refreshing to have a quaint little coffee/bakery at the shore. Never liked going to the big stores or chains for coffee while at the shore. This place just opened and is hitting it out of the park. Super friendly staff combined with tasty coffee and baked treats. Try the apple concoction, don't remember the actual name, but it sure was tasty!! read more

I come here every few weeks hoping that it will actually be better yet I continue to be disappointed... and from conversations with my shore neighbors a lot of people feel this way so I REALLY hope that the owners of this establishment read these reviews. Listen, I know we're in the Crest & things tend to run a bit pricier there but the lattes and cold brew prices are outrageous and the coffee definitely doesn't taste as good as it did previous years. Moving on to the nitro coffee which is also priced crazy high I can't even get it half the time b/c the machine is never working, it's the like McDonald's ice cream machine of coffee machines, why?? Lastly, if you are going to have so many yummy GF treats why not make them in a kitchen with better protocols where people who have to eat GF for medical reasons can safely consume them, that would be ideal and you would sell A LOT more of them, trust me. I'm giving up on this place which makes me so sad b/c it's so cute and very close to our house. On a positive note the woman working the counter shortly after opening on 8/19 was really sweet. Please do better. read more

This is the cutest little place in wildwood crest! I thought I'd try it after a friend recommended and now will be coming back on all my vacations. Their coffee is fresh and delicious. I love that they have oat milk. Açaí bowl was fresh, breakfast sandwiches were hot and delicious. The atmosphere is just adorable! Fast service and friendly workers. They even have parking which is hard to find. I hope they are around a long time. read more

Big winner here. The biscuit sandwiches are all killer, no filler. Coffee good. Line large. I would trust anything here.

Perfect place to stop for a quick coffee. I've tried two different lattes and both have been phenomenal. Service was quick and the employees behind the counter were nice. With outdoor and indoor seating and even a space for a photo op, it's a great business to have deep in the crest. read more

Ordered a mocha latte and it was 6.50. Expensive, but even most other coffee shops are 5 dollars for a latte. That said, if prices were closer to 5 I'd come back more often. Also I was the only person in the store so I can't speak to efficiency. read more

Better than 5 stars. Good coffee and coffee drinks, made how you like it. Huge cinnamon buns with great cream cheese icing. Breakfast sandwiches on homemade biscuits...amazing. Bagels made on premises too...so so good. We've eaten here a couple times and had nothing but the best each time. Highly recommend. read more

Maybe there's a best time of day to go, or maybe it was what we purchased and when we visited. We got two bagels and a cinnamon roll around noon. Cinnamon roll wasn't fresh. Bagels were hard. I assume they get their baked goods from a local bakery early in the morning and we were there closer to closing. My daughter likes this place but says she avoids their baked goods in favor of the food they actually prepare on premises. Service was not great, even though they were just pulling stuff from a display case. From the partly confused staff, it seems they are better with online vs "in person" ordering, so I'd suggest online ordering is the best way to go here. Personally, I'm sticking with Brittons and SunCrest Market for now. read more

Great food and service. The blueberry scone is to die for and the coffee is addictive!
