Magic Brain Cafe was such a nice find. This cafe has a very cozy feel, a few tables and seats, and is nicely decorated. The Barista is an artist, takes his time creating the "Magic," and my Frozen Hot Chocolate was just as good as NYC's Serendipity 3. If you're looking for a quick pick me up, or just want to unwind while strolling through beautiful Cape May, come into Magic Brain and enjoy the zen.

Small iced coffee with English toffee syrup and Lactaid milk

Candice S.

This is a delicious little coffee shop in a building with several other small boutiques. They have more syrup options than I've ever seen in my life, and this is the first coffee shop I have ever seen that had Lactaid milk available. As someone who is lactose intolerant, I greatly appreciate the options. The service was great. I love that you order and then they make your drink immediately.

I was walking around Cape May absorbing the sights when I suddenly felt a thirst. I had bookmarked several coffee shops in preparation for my trip here, so I whipped out Yelp and noticed I was super close to Magic Brain Cafe. That was all I needed to know, so I made my way over. Magic Brain has its own dedicated entrance on Perry Street, but it's also part of the Carpenter Square Mall which is a super small collection of stores in a mini mall on Carpenter Ln. Walking in, I was immediately greeted by aesthetics - very coffeehouse with medium woods, shelves with trinkets/merch, and touches of green to keep it fresh. The menu had typical coffeehouse items; on a hot/humid day like it was I would typically go for an iced coffee, but I already had 3 cups so I went with their iced tea. It was black unsweetened which was exactly what I was looking for. The tea was good - refreshing with just enough tea flavor; it hit the spot. Service was fast and friendly - overall this is a solid spot in Cape May for a beverage. I noticed they also carry a selection some baked goods, so I would definitely return for some of their bakes as well as more liquid peps.

Came here as our first stop off the Lewes-Cape May ferry. The place is so cute and welcoming. The two staff members were very kind and answered all our questions and more! I received a perfectly temped mocha latte, which was tasty. My friend had a chocolate scone and an anise biscotti and her very first mocha latte. She really enjoyed everything! Not a ton of seating, but we all made it work. They have lots of options for bagged coffee, which looked good but I couldn't make a decision. It would appear they also have yoga upstairs, which is fun. Sad I missed this, but in the corner by the window they have games! Would definitely come back if I am in the area again.

Cute funky space, friendly staff and solid cups of caffeine. Upon entry you see a little nook with seats and books alongside a few other seating options by the window and a bench area on the right. The counter is small but offers a number of baked goods including vegan options. We opted for: London fog (5/5) Dirty chai with oat milk (5/5) really delish and what I wanted. I even bought the last container of chai they use on site 2 vegan chocolate chip scones (5/5) hit for the kiddos It's within a little "mall" next to the famously pink store with a yoga studio upstairs. The man working that day gave the littles cute little magic brain temporary tattoos and as folks were filing in you could tell it's an adored gem in the neighborhood. Can't wait to try to replicate the chai at home and will come back!

What a cool little hidden gem of a coffee joint. Tucked in one of those indoor semi malls. Great selection of coffees, espressos etc. A few people working on the laptops, ha ha I was on vacation. Fast service and espresso had a nice crema!

The espresso and coffee is fantastic, but the service from Madi and Andrew is just as warming. Great place to catch up with locals, sit and work, read, pop upstairs for yoga or check out the local shops. Love this place!

Coffee, Scone & Chocolate Croissant to go

Melanie M.

Arrived a few minutes before 7am. Drip coffee was ready to go and baked goods were steaming up the display. We ordered a drip coffee, Caramel Macchiato, chocolate croissant and chocolate chip scone. The Caramel Macchiato is twice as sweet as the one served at Starbucks. I preferred Out There Coffee. My husband preferred this place.

Sheila R.

Great coffee shop in center of town. Slightly off the beaten path of Washington Square. We ordered a latte and caramel macchiato. Both were very well made a delicious. There was no line when we arrived around 4 pm, so that made it even better.

I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon the Magic Brain Cafe today.

The coffee here is very good - always fresh and hot. Have tried several of the baked goods - the scones were fresh and very good. I had saw a review on how good the bagels were so I bought one of the raisin cinnamon bagels and toasted it the next morning. One half was just buttered and the other with cream cheese.

Any way to add this place under coffee and espresso. So far out of all the places in Cape May Magic brain pulls the best double shot of espresso. But when you search coffee magic brain only comes up under Internet cafe. Staff was very friendly even when had younger family members with me to let them try some of their iced chai teas. As far as food it's ok. I wish sometimes cafés would just limit themselves to 2 or 3 three things and do them perfect instead of having a bunch of desserts that are just ok. As far as coffee and tea products they are top notch. As far as having snacks and pastries they are average. They are not your local bakery or bagel stores but it works. read more

Mighty muffin? methinks not. The muffin top may have been mightier than any sword attempting to slice it, certainly my teeth. So, that's alright, they have coffee. Columbian espresso roast, hmm, filled half my cup. Topped it off with another blend. Result? Ever been to a bar where they watered down their liquor? No? Use your imagination. Okay, fine, internet cafe. Let's use the internet. If it were working, I would have to pay ... a tidy sum ..., but thankfully it wasn't working. Poured the coffee onto the street and biked down to Perry. Argh. read more

I'm a little late writing this but wanted to do so anyway. I happened up Magic Brain Cafe while hanging out in Cape May earlier in the summer and was so happy to have found them. First of all, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Steve, who was awesome and full of GREAT customer service, which is hard to come by these days. Although he was very busy, he took the time to make me feel right at home and served up deliciously FRESH pastries and piping hot coffee. Magic Brain Cafe is clean, cozy, friendly and refreshing with excellent quality products. If you make it Cape May -- definitely give them a try. read more

What a treat! My Mom and I hopped in to this cafe after doing a little perusing downtown and it was quite magical, indeed :) Steve, was awesome and made us two stellar cappuccinos ! I had soy, Mom had regular. We also split an oatmeal raisin cookie which was super scrumptious and are made in house. Yum! The cafe is very cute, great vibes, and lots of ground bags (I bought a personal unique favorite flavor- bananas foster!) and I'd love to explore the yoga studio right upstairs. :) I can tell I'll be back many times and am so pleased to find some excellent downtown brews.

If you want coffee in Cape May, you go to Magic Brain. From sun up, to sun down, their coffee stays fresh and has the ability to make even the grumpiest of people smile. I spend my days sitting in the cafe, catching up on reading and working on my portfolio. When I need a break, I talk to the Magic Brain crew and there's never a dry conversation. Please make this your spot to grab some coffee and soak in the aromatic scent of a fresh brew. read more

Love their baked goods and tea! Has a great friendly atmosphere (they'll chat if you like or just serve you well and leave you alone if that's what you want). Very convenient to the Washington St. mall and just off the beach. Open early in the morning and late into the evening. 60 minutes free wifi with purchase. Now that it's off-season, I do miss the Tue/Thu live music in the evenings. read more

Love this place... Started coming for the coconut island coffee stayed for the vegan baklava. The vibe is great and just today I had the most delicious chocolate filled croissant--and it was still warm. It was fantastic. Yoga upstairs coffee and some meditation what more can you ask for... Highly recommend! read more
