Great service, an enlightened menu, and cool breezes off the water make EJ's a Naples favorite for breakfast and brunch. Jonathan, my server, was attentive without being overbearing. I'm an admittedly difficult diner to satisfy, but EJ's Energy breakfast checked all the right boxes: lots of veggies, healthy proteins, and very flavorful. The cost for my scramble and decaf was $25, including tax and tip, but in Naples, that's par for the course. I will come back. read more

All I have to say is - You will not be disappointed ! I have tried several brunch spots since moving back to Naples and EJ's Cafe is by far the best I have had . We showed up with a party of 16 ( celebrating a birthday) and Wasn't sure if they would be able to accommodate us because of size . We couldn't all sit together which as fine ; however the staff that served us was really nice . All the food was delish . Marlowe was my server and she was very pleasant I look forward to going back , as Brunch along with mimosas are my FAV read more

So I decided to try this place out because it was relatively close to my hotel, and had good reviews online. We were seated right away and decided to eat outside because the weather was beautiful Our waiter was EDER he was AWESOME! He was attentive, and a great server, I recommend him waiting on you if you happen to stop in. I had to try there banana stuffed French toast and it was so unique I will never eat French toast another away. I'm still craving it till this day. It came with eggs which were cooked perfectly, and I ordered a side of bacon which were crispy and delicious. My guest had the Bayfront scramble and I was digging into their plate as well it was very very good! It had bacon, avocado, onions, tomatoes, and cheddar cheese served with salsa and sour cream. The scramble also included a choice of potatoes, fruit, or grits. She went for the grits. They were so creamy. In addition, to toast, English muffin, biscuit, croissant, or gluten-free toast. As you can tell they have a huge variety of choices! We both enjoyed a hot coffee, and a iced caramel coffee. I will definitely be coming back here for breakfast! So affordable, great quality food, and amazing service. read more

Great food and service! The server recommended us the cinnamon bun and it was amazing! We will come back soon.

You know what makes this place worthy of 5 stars? The people who work here. Oh sure the food is great too, but the people that wait on you actually seem to like what they are doing which is such a bonus these days when everyone seems angry at everyone else. We came during Sunday brunch. The place was packed but soon enough we had a table outside on the walkway and began to peruse the menu. My go to at brunch is always Eggs Benedict- I could write a book on where to get classic Eggs Benedict in South Florida. And EJ's would be high on the list of those who make a nice hollandaise sauce. The muffin was crispy and browned, the eggs cooked just right and the hollandaise was perfection. My friends had avocado toast which looked good and the omelette. Also quite tasty. My bloody Mary was well poured and all in all it was worth the trip to Naples for breakfast (all right, I didn't JUST go for brunch but it was an incentive!) Now I only wish I could remember the name of the woman who waited on us as she was so friendly I wish she could have pulled up a chair and joined us! While there is garage parking in the complex, if you are lucky, you may get one of the many spots on the street. And if you find humor in watching people who don't know how to parallel park, try to parallel park, this place will also entertain you over and over again. At one point, I almost volunteered to go and help a woman park her car! Great food and even better service. Check it out. You won't be disappointed! read more

Enjoyed a fantastic breakfast outside on a Saturday morning. We were seated promptly and the staff was very friendly. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and cheesy potato casserole. It was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have had and the only complaint about the potatoes, was that there wasn't enough! I do wish you got more food but the price is reasonable. My copilot had the Southwest Chicken Sandwich and enjoyed it as well. Overall, this was a great option because breakfast is available all day while also having lunch items. The staff was very inviting and knowledgeable about the menu. We will definitely be back. read more

I originally went to one of Yelp's other highest rated restaurants in the area. They had a long wait so I decided to come here instead. The friendly host/manager took my name and cell phone number and told me it would be a 30 minute wait. I was seated in approximately 35 minutes. My server was Cheyenne. She was awesome! I asked her multiple times about food/drink recommendations and she was honest which I truly appreciated. She was spot on with her recommendations. I tried the strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry mimosas, all recommended by Cheyenne. All of them were good but I liked the Raspberry one the best. They were only $6/apiece which is a bargain in a hot area like this one. For breakfast I ordered the monkey waffle platter which came with a waffle with chocolate chips, macadamia nuts, pineapple, and whipped cream, along with 2 eggs and ham. The waffle was absolutely delicious. It was sweet but not too sweet and had a great texture to it. I used a little bit of the syrup they provided but I didn't really need it - the waffle was amazing on its own. The eggs and ham that came with it were also good. I ordered the eggs over medium and they were closer to over easy but still good. The ham was good. Definitely a solid spot for breakfast/brunch in downtown Naples. I will be back next time I'm in the area! read more

Extensive menu providing breakfast, brunch and lunch options. Crabcake Benedict was incredible and hollandaise sauce was prepare perfectly and so delicious. Huevos rancheros with corn tortillas is a house favorite justifiably so as it had so much flavor . We had outstanding service. Coffee served piping hot! Very busy cafe with speedy turnover. Kitchen is open which adds to the welcoming ambiance. read more

We found EJ's a few years ago while visiting the area in the Spring. The breakfast here was fantastic and we'll be doing breakfast again in the morning! We came for lunch today and were not dissatisfied. The server and hostess were friendly, attentive and professional. And, the food was great, too! If you like big, nasty cinnamon rolls like my wife and kids, theirs' is wonderful.... read more

The food was delicious. However, the service is horrible. My card was charged twice. The manager then came to me and said he couldn't cancel the first transaction. I was told to call back in 24 hours if my money was not returned to the card. Every time I call the manager "is not available." Also who ever is answering the phone is always rude. We will not be returning. I read more

Wanted to like this place but there were issues with our visit. Here our experience. Service was good. We went on a Saturday for lunch. They seated us right away. Place was busy. Service was good and friendly. So that was all good We ordered a chicken mozzarella panini and a turkey panini. The chicken panini was not good. It was dry and way too bland. It needed more pesto Mayo on it or some additional seasoning. I've never had to add salt to a sandwich before, but that was the only way to battle the bland chicken. It was a 3/10 The turkey panini was better. It was good and much better balanced for flavors. 8/10. We both got sweet potato fries which were actually very good. 8/10. So the one dish made our visit a disappointment. Perhaps their other items are much better. Too bad we're only visiting for a day, so we'll not have a chance to sample more of the menu. read more

It is good, not great, but better than other places in Naples. Had the eggs Benedict with crabcakes. Eggs were good, but the crabcakes and English muffin toast were soggy and uninspired. Service was very good, which elevated the number of stars from 3 to 4. read more

Relaxed diner in beautiful location in Naples. Service was great, the coffee refills were perfect. The food was very good diner food, I loved the classic eggs Benedict. The potatoes could be a little more flavorful, or crispier or something. But overall we really enjoyed our meal. read more

The food, the service and my server Andrea were wonderful. Excellent location an excellent prices made it a great experience.

Pros: Great location and views outside near the bay front, variety of menu options, pretty good food Cons: We visited on a Wednesday after Easter and it was incredibly busy around 10am. We waited over 30 minutes for a table and by the time we got our food it was one hour total from the time we received the text that we are on the waiting list. It's a very popular place so plan ahead, we had a less enjoyable experience only because we were stressed that we were going to miss our 11:30 boat tour lol. The food did come out without an extensive wait but don't come here if you have other plans and are in a rush. I would come back to enjoy the food and experience again, hopefully with faster service. read more

Had a great eggs Benedict brunch at EJ''s Bayfront this morning. Tried the traditional and the crab cake, both were delicious. The Canadian bacon on the traditional was nice and thick and delicious. Eggs and sauce were perfect as were the home fries and fruit sides. Our Bloody Mary and Peach Bellinis were delicious as well. Definitely recommend checking them out. Small place inside but quite a bit of outside seating which is great in November in Naples! read more

Food, service, parking, ambiance, food was great. Definitely i will come back. Good location

We were getting ready for our 4 hour boating adventure when I asked if they knew were the closest restroom was and they gratuitously offered theirs. After checking in for the boat were came back and ordered a snack to go. I had a cinnamon roll and my wife had a breakfast croissant sandwich with ham. Both were fantastic. Stop in when you have a chance ! read more

The server can really change the whole dining experience. This is our 4th and probably last time here. Every time we've visited Naples we make an effort to come to EJ's. On this occasion our server never greeted us, didn't offer any recommendations after I asked him some questions (his response.... everything on the menu is popular to eat), didn't bring us an extra plate like we asked, never came to check to see if we needed anything after dropping off the food. Only spoke to our serve twice, to order and to pay. If the place was busy I'd understand but they were not. He just didn't care. I'm sad to say a server ruined our experience but that's the sad truth. read more

Tried this spot out on vacation and didn't regret it. I had the southwestern skillet and it was great. I also had the apple cinnamon French toast and it was very refreshing and delicious. The service was quick and the server was very attentive. The ambiance is nice and relaxed. Loved it I would try it again. read more

Fast service - meals always delicious, easy to get to and they give blankets for outdoor dining if you are chilly!

Ate here for the first time this last Monday. My husband and I were visiting family in the area and wanted a cinnamon roll. This one did NOT disappoint Glad we decided to share it as we both got regular breakfast entrees as well. Service was excellent and we were seated right away. I would definitely go back! read more

They sold me on their fresh baked cinnamon roll which was soft, warm and delicious. I was able to add tomato, avocado, and spinach to my regular eggs Benedict for a small upcharge. Our server was super sweet and knew all of our questions in an instant, making some great recommendations to help my girlfriend decide what she should go for on the menu. My orange juice really did taste fresh squeezed which i think they do onsite. My eggs Benedict was perfectly cooked with a medium poach where the yolks we're slightly runny. I wasn't much a fan of the cheesy potatoes because it was mostly just fried cheese with shredded potatoes mixed in which I felt was too heavy for a side for my liking. But if that's your thing I could see how it would be excellent... Overall I would definitely be back next time I am in Naples read more

Wow! Just wow! Came to Naples from Miami to pick up a Tesla and had many choices to eat. We were going to grab a burger and I said let me check Yelp. After reviewing our options, I found this location. After looking at all the reviews we walked by this place to see what it was all about. The food looked amazing. We decided to eat here. Started with a cinnamon roll which I highly recommend. We then had stuffed French toast. Again, very good. Then we ordered our lunches. Each dish was fantastic. It was so good we had a friend visit from Nebraska and we drove back from Miami to Naples just to eat. It's worth it. If you're looking for a great place to eat in Naples, look no further. This is a great place to eat! Absolutely amazing. read more

My husband took me here on Sunday for breakfast. Service was great, weather was rainy and windy so we sat inside. Food was very good. We both ordered breakfast. Eggs were cooked perfectly. The cheesy hash browns are delicious and the bacon was nice and crisp. You will not be disappointed. read more

Good place, but no way it deserves 4.5 stars. The food is regular diner food. For example, the turkey didn't look or taste like actual carved turkey. The place is located in an apartment complex where several of the retail outlets are vacant or in the middle of closing and leaving (e.g. the steak house and the beer pub). Kudos to the host/manager for hustling, closely observing the operation, and getting folks seated as quickly as possible. But our waiter asked us three times if we wanted cinnamon buns, aggressively trying to push them even after we finished a good-sized meal. Enough already! No rush to return here. read more

Perfect place for brunch on a Sunday morning before hitting the beach!!! A few minutes away from the beach,, I love this place. The food is good for the price you're paying and the location it's set in, smack in the middle of a cute little shopping plaza. I usually can never find a good brunch place because to me they're kind of all the same but this one definitely had an authentic touch to it haha. First time trying eggs Benny and my friend is a big Benny enthusiast and she loved them! I got the most basic platter but it's a good sign if they can't mess up something so simple. Their drinks! My friend and I both got the same drink (after both agreeing we wouldn't drink, I don't know why we both lie when we know we're gonna drink) We got the Bay Breeze, had to look it up to remember, which is Pineapple, Grapefruit, and wine distilled vodka. It was pretty tasty and not too strong on the alcohol (taste wise) was the right drink for brunch before heading out and spending hours at the beach. Won't get you buzzed but definitely yummy :) Gave 5 stars because I was happy with service & food and that's all you can really ask for right ? Right. read more

Had an incredible breakfast here this morning following a vigorous 5 mile walk around Baker Park, etc. For starters, I split a freshly-made, warm Cinnamon Roll with my buddy, and it was absolutely to--die--for. Next. Scrambled eggs with avocado, tomato, onion, etc., (EXCELLENT FLAVOR) accompanied with diced and browned pan-fried potatoes, with plenty of hot coffee.. Just a tremendous breakfast, all around !! All for $15.00 + tax. Can't beat it.. read more

The eggs, pancakes , bacon and our other items came out fresh and tasted great. All in all we had a good breakfast experience and will definitely come back. read more

We visited EJ's while vising Naples last November. The weather was perfect, so we sat out on their patio. The restaurant seemed very busy, but the service did not lack. My family of 4 ordered Garden benedict, french toast platter with bacon and eggs and one of kids dish. Everything was delicious! Of course my kids devoured their food before anyone else, and my husband and I enjoyed our food. Garden benedict was light and refreshing and little sweetness from french toast complemented our meal. Would love to go back when we are in the area! read more

Again I'm sorry there are no photos of the food. I was too tired to write this review yesterday. This place was recommended by my sister in law, and it also made a list of best breakfast places in Naples. Parking is along the street which leads into a marina, and EJ's has a very ample outdoor seating area. The area has very ornate buildings that are residential. We sat outside, service friendly and attentive, very clean bathrooms. The coffee was very good. My wife had her usual bacon and eggs with fruit. I had the EJ's omelette. It's corned beef hash, mushroom, onion and cheddar. It was good, not omg. The sourdough toast was a little too sour, and unbuttered which I'm not fond of. The butter packets are always too hard to spread. Also, another single slice serving. The grits were ok, I added butter and salt. The coffee was good. An overall nice dining experience, it's more about the setting. read more
