Chicken & Waffles | Cozy | Portions Chicken & Waffles - This is the dish to order. The chicken-to-waffle ratio is about 5:4, which means you get plenty of crispy, flavorful chicken with every bite instead of running out before the waffle. It's a hearty, satisfying breakfast that strikes the right balance between sweet and savory. Cozy - This is a small, welcoming restaurant with seating for around 30 people inside, plus a few outdoor tables. The intimate setting creates a relaxed atmosphere that makes it a great place to enjoy breakfast with family or catch up with friends over coffee. Portions - Come hungry. The portions are enormous and may be the largest you'll find on the island. You'll definitely get your money's worth, and many people will have enough left over for another meal. Why five stars? Great food, generous portions, friendly service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere make this an easy recommendation. It's the kind of local breakfast spot you'll find yourself wanting to come back to before your trip is over. Pro tip: They do not offer a military discount. Pro tip: The menu is extensive, so don't hesitate to ask your server for recommendations. They know the menu well and will happily point you toward some customer favorites. read more

I don't know how I've always missed this place. It looks so cozy and welcoming. I wish I was hungry. But I was only needing my morning double latte. So I was directed across the hall to the marketplace where I got the coffee. The guy making the coffee was super friendly, and very patient since it was my first time there. I'm putting this in the permanent rotation for every time I come back to Stone Harbor. read more

Three stars because we drove over to Stone Harbor from Wildwood because this restaurant's menu specifically says "French Omelette", and I was so looking forward to it! My husband found it online and was super excited to take me there for my birthday because I LOVE French omelettes and they are so hard to find. It's a cute little place in a strip mall. So we get there and I was a little concerned that we were the only people there. I thought at first we just got there really early and surely there would be more people coming as we sat there, especially since it seems to have good ratings. We were allowed to sit where we wanted (note, not a lot of tables, it's a small place) and we were given menus and our drink orders were taken. Our coffees came out and we placed our orders. The coffee was very bitter and I tried to doctor it but it couldn't be fixed, so I gave it to my husband since he enjoys very bitter coffee. When the server asked me what I wanted in my omelette and I said just chives, she had to go ask if they had any, and then told me they didn't have any. That's a big flag... a classic French omelette is usually just eggs and chives, and maybe some other herbs. But ok, I said just some cheese. My husband ordered the stuffed French toast with strawberries. Our meals came out and his looked great, and he really enjoyed it. I wish I'd ordered the same thing. My omelette was decent for an American style omelette. But as far as a French omelette? Big failure. I don't think the cook even knows what a French omelette is. A French omelette is cooked quickly while stirring the entire time, and right when you think it's almost done, you fold it onto the plate so it's creamy inside with no need for cheese or anything else. It should have very little to no brown. Its simplicity is what makes it shine. My toast barely met the toaster and was cool enough to the touch that the butter didn't melt on it. I ate most of the omelette (like I said, it was decent for an American style omelette) and most of the toast, because although it wasn't really toasted, it was a good whole grain wheat bread and was tasty. Also, the pineapple on both of our plates was not ripe. It was still hard. I would go back for lunch because the lunch menu on the wall looked promising. Maybe they do a better lunch? I was thinking that maybe they do a better job at lunch and that's when the crowds show up...because no one else showed up while we were there. My other concern...the staff were so busy chatting in the kitchen that we had to stand up to get the attention of our server so we could pay and leave. The morning crew did not impress us. Maybe next time we'll have a better experience. read more

We were walking through town looking for a good lunch not pub not fried. We happened on Yvette's. Judging by the crowd this was a happening spot for a Sunday stroll . The menu had a lot of French influences serving sandwiches on crispy baguettes. I opted for the roast beef sandwich, came with caramelized onions , mayonnaise, arugula on a baguettes . We also opted for a salad that came chock full of fruits and nuts with a poppy seed dressing. Both items were good and fresh. It's a small restaurant that is in a strip mall with tables in hall outside. The restaurant is simple but good. A nice spot to add to your beach rotation. All the food coming from the kitchen looked so good. Try and see for yourself ! read more

Five stars every time! Yesterday we enjoyed the salad with the most perfectly cooked tender shrimp (4) large on leaf lettuce with a gorgeous drizzle of homemade dressing and the number 15 which is the Brie, strawberry, pear and poppyseed dressing on the freshest french bread, fresh brewed apricot iced tea. I crave Yvette's, don't ever leave our little town. read more

we ordered a chicken salad sandwich to eat on the beach. it was freshly cooked chicken tossed with a bit of mayo, could have used some seasoning but it was tender. there were apple slices & a bit of lettuce also, on a nice baguette. little pricey, but on par with the area. read more

I had eaten at Yvette's some years ago and last year picked up lobster rolls to go. Lobster Rolls are filled with lobster meat and cost $25. Now the reason I took away a star mainly has to do with a Stone Harbor law that they are a 'no straw' town. I asked for iced tea in a to-go cup and instead was provided a heavy glass that I found difficult to sip from. If Stone Harbor doesn't allow straws then please offer an easy to sip from drinking cup. Now to the food. Frankly I feel it needs seasoning , and I generously salt and peppered a side of tasty potato salad. I found the lobster could also do with a good shake of Old Bay. Never the less it is a sweet place to eat some unique fare and there is some extra seating in the outer hallway area. Our server was efficient and friendly. The food was prepared quickly. The price point is in line with tourist local fare. Definately a place to grab a lovely bite of lunch. read more

What a hidden gem! This cute little French inspired restaurant is set back in an indoor walkway and it's incredible! The people were lovely and the sandwiches were fantastic to take to the beach. Don't leave without grabbing the number 12: French brie, organic spinach, tomatoes, pepperoncini peppers w/special dressing on grilled focaccia. Seriously you will not regret the focaccia! Either eat both halves and be full all day or share with a friend! :) read more

We been for breakfast and for lunch, several times each. Every meal has been excellent. There are many options but we love the Reuben sandwiches, egg salad, and turkey sandwiches at lunch. The breakfast sandwich is also very good and the coffee is much better than most! read more

Yvette's Cafe - French Toast - Sandwiches Near Me - Stone Harbor, New Jersey

The food is phenomenal. The strawberry shrimp salad had the most incredible cheese, light dressing with protein and fruits. The lobster roll had the right amount of dressing (i don't like too much mayo so it was absolutely perfect for me). The unsweetened raspberry iced tea was out of this world. My mom and I were walking around and stumbled upon this great spot hidden away on 97th. The atmosphere is cozy and local, not a big show. This place feels like somebody's passion project come to life. The server was very attentive and informative, this will be a great tradition for years to come. read more

Don't be put off that this is in a "mall" area of Stone Harbor. The cafe is charming. The servers were friendly, smiley - perfect. And the food was sooooo good. A fig, goat cheese and arugula sandwich on fresh French bread. So delightful. The truffle fries were delicious. Definitely would go again. read more

The food was not good. The chicken breast I couldn't even cut it and it was so so chewy, terrible. The explanation of the meals sounded great but it was grossly misrepresented. You actually received half of what is explained and tasteless. Not a place I would go again!!! read more

I needed to pick up a fast lunch, and decided I would finally try out Yvette's Cafe! They were pretty busy and the restaurant was packed, but the worker still managed to direct me over to their Take-out window (which is a tiny side room). I got their Roast Beef sandwich. It was okay, but it was not worth $17 dollars. The sandwich looks like (see photo) it's absolutely packed with meat, right? It's not. Underneath that meat is literally a salad's worth of arugula. I knew there was arugula in the sandwich, but I didn't realize there would be so much I would feel like I was eating a grass sandwich for a moment. There were barely any caramelized onions, but the lemon mayo was decent. The roast beef was only okay quality, and I noticed the edge of one of the pieces had that rainbow sheen on it which means it's starting to go bad. The bread was also okay, but it was almost all crust, so it was very crunchy. Again, not worth $17 in the slightest. Maybe they have something else on their menu that's amazing, but it's not the Roast Beef sandwich. read more

Expectations were high because I had read all the positive reviews. I wasn't disappointed. Very sorry to say that I wish I had been coming here for years. It will now become a tradition. Kimberly was our server and simply a delight. She was attentive and knew the menu inside out. My son was torn between two sandwiches and she gave him some helpful advice. I ordered the #3 it was fresh figs, goat cheese, arugula, caramelized onions on french bread. It was so delicious. My mom ordered the Asian pear and strawberry sandwich w greens. She was very pleased w hers and I was equally pleased with mine. My sandwich was 12$ you can add chips, or coleslaw for 1$ up charge. They don't take lunch reservations but do take dinner reservations. They accept credit cards. read more

Yvette's Cafe - Organic Baby Spinach Salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Stone Harbor, New Jersey

I am an extremely frequent Yvette's customer. I order for pickup about 1-2 times a week from May to the end of August for probably 7 years now. I've tried many of their sandwiches and love them. One of my favorites is the Reuben. However, today my Reuben looked much different than it has every other time. I'm not sure if it's different meat, or if it was cooked differently considering corned beef is usually red and not brown. I called to ask if there was anything changed recently and explained that my sandwich looked different in the past, but the owner was dismissive and said nothing has changed. I have attached side by side pictures of my sandwich from two weeks ago versus today. It still tastes good, but I was disappointed in the difference in the texture of the meat and the lack of responsiveness/care when we called. read more

Delicious. Fresh Fig sandwich with added prosciutto - so good. My go to is the French Brie with pears & strawberries.

Best lunch restaurant in Stone Harbor. Nice menu with both salads and sandwiches. Service is generally good, but don't expect fast food speed. Prices are reasonable given the quality. read more

Visited this place with a friend a few days ago for a later lunch. We went on a whim and were wowed by this cute little cafe. The menus are on two large colorful chalkboards (one at the entrance for takeout and the other in the dining area). The menu variety was wide and varied. The dining area is small and cozy with a large window and lots of natural light. Our server promptly handed us menus upon seating. We ordered shrimp salad on fresh focaccia and mozzarella, avocado, tomato drizzled with olive oil on a baguette. Each sandwich was accompanied by a small side salad with a delicious vinaigrette. All ingredients were fresh and the bread was delicious! The only negative was there could have been more shrimp salad and less lettuce. Our server was wonderful and service was very fast. Overall wonderful experience! read more

Delicious lobster roll and the salads were fresh and large!!! Highly recommend this place for lunch

Nice gourmet sandwich selection to take back to the beach. Friendly staff. Can call in your order in advance for quicker pick up.

Yvettes makes the list of my top five favorite places to eat in the world. I am a huge sandwich fan and Yvette's makes the very best sandwiches out there. First of all, every single ingredient that they use is fresh. The bread tastes like it has been imported straight from France and the option of the grilled Focaccia bread is a winner, but then again so is the classic French bread- you can't go wrong. My favorites would have to be the #14 and the #12. I am also a huge fan of their soups and iced tea, which change daily. Service is 100% and everyone is super friendly. The small, charming eatery smells like a French bakery and there is truly no other place like it. Occasionally, they have scones for desert which are top notch, but they also have homemade chocolate chip cookies quite often which are amazing. You will not regret coming here and I can promise you that once you go, you definitely will be coming back! Can't say enough about this place! read more

This review is about the Yvette's Market Place across the hallway sharing the same name as the restaurant. We've never had such a bad coffee experience anywhere else and at an outrageous price. Ingredients, machine, and end result (taste) was awful. Price was out of this world. $12.50 USD for a latte with almond milk! The service was friendly! But the person had no idea about coffee. Never been this disappointed before. Yvette's restaurant itself has great food! But their name is smudged by the association with this marketplace next door. read more

Cozy atmosphere and setting. The food selections are very good and a reasonable price point. No problem with service at Yvett's .

I have been going to Avalon since I was a baby and have ventured over to Stone Harbor for many meals. However, I had no idea about this little gem until now! I was on Yelp looking for something different than my three go-to places and saw yvettes. It is located inside the Stone Harbor mall, I was a little confused. The place is small but cute and comfortable. We were seated immediately and enjoyed a wonderful lunch. Our waitress was a beautiful young lady named Mary. She was very attentive and kind. She recommended the special which was a chicken, honey, Brie, green apple, bacon sandwich. I am so glad I trusted Mary because that sandwich was DELICIOUS! My companion and I had a great experience and I can't wait to go back! read more

The best healthy lunch options around, love the wine menu especially the chicken salad and reuben and lobster rolls.

Excellent food and good service. We ate here 3 times in 2 days. Highly recommend visiting if you're in Stone Harbor.

Fantastic service and food! I had high expectations for Yvette's based on the stellar reviews. We were not disappointed. I ordered the #15 which was pears, strawberries, Brie, greens, and poppy seed dressing on French bread. The French bread was so fresh. I loved the combination of everything together. If you want chips or coleslaw it is $1 upcharge. I opted for the Maui onion chips, and they were delicious. I look forward to making this place part of my annual trip to Stone Harbor! read more

Yvette's Cafe - #15 Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Stone Harbor, New Jersey

Great lunch spot. We got the lobster roll and shared tomato mozzarella salad. Both were delicious.

I ate here for the first time a few years ago with a girlfriend who continues to talk about how great our meal was. Went back today for a takeout #21, essentially a tuna nicoise sandwich. I have no problem spending $11 on any sandwich here. They are certainly big enough to make into two meals, and just incredibly high quality. There were tomatoes on mine, and I actually ate most of them, which is crazy since I hate tomatoes. It was just too good to put down so I could take the tomatoes off! Flavors were spot on, vinaigrette light but very present, and every bite was perfect. If you're worried about service or time, opt for takeout, bring your meal home and eat on your private deck, with your own wonderful choice of beer. Le yum. read more

Yvette's Cafe - #21 Pain Baigne Ortiz Tuna - Sandwiches Near Me - Stone Harbor, New Jersey

Yvette's is the absolute best sandwich destination on the island! The ingredients used in the sandwiches are always so fresh, and the bread cannot be beat. Salads are on the menu as well, but I personally judge any person that would order a salad at such an extraordinary cafe. However, the prices are outrageous! Lunch for two will cost you $30 (I speak from experience), not including the tip. Because of this, Yvette's is a treat rather than an everyday kind of deal. The actual restaurant is very small, so I wouldn't recommend going with a large group and to possibly do take-out instead? I would recommend Yvette's to anyone who is willing to drop $15 on a FABULOUS sandwich! read more

This place was so so delicious!!! So glad we found this hidden treasure in Stone Harbor. It's tucked away and off the beaten path, but it deserves all the attention the more popular places in SH get! It's actually one of the best meals I've ever had in the Stone Harbor/Avalon area. I got the Ortiz Tuna sandwich, but since I don't eat meat/fish, I asked for no tuna. They were totally okay with this! The sandwich was so wonderful on such fresh French bread. All of my family's meals were delicious as well. We will absolutely be back! read more

Very disappointing Got the fig sandwich with arugula, carmelized onions and goat cheese On a baguette... there was barely any goat cheese or fig more like arugula with onion Very disappointing especially for the price tag . I don't mind paying if it's worth it but what a disappointment . Seemed like $13 for a lettuce sandwich! read more

Just had the lobster rolls at Yvette's. What a disappointment! Those are not real lobster rolls. Minced up tiny pieces of cold lobster do not make yummy lobster rolls. Please prepare a proper roll- either cold lobster salad with mayo, squeeze of lemon juice, salt & pepper (Maine style) or hot with butter (CT style). Also properly toast the roll. The one upside was the polite staff. read more

Excellent restaurant. The baguette they lovingly call "French," is shipped from France 3x a week in dough form for them to bake. The dishes are delicious - and thoughtfully made. read more
