29 Best Cafes near Ventnor City

“We sat outside and enjoyed our brunch. The coffee was okay, the veggie omelette was fresh, the hashbrowns didn't have much flavor, just okay. The scone was delicious. I would definitely go back for the scone. The service was good, she was friendly enough. Glad we were able to sit outside.“

“I've been coming here for a while now and I'm always impressed. The food and pastries are the BEST and they often offer gluten/free and vegan options.The coffee is always delicious and they have unique add-ins (ghee, bee pollen, turmeric honey).Some of my favorite pastries include the morning cookie, lavender shortbread, and Hungarian shortbread... but literally everything is good and fresh.It gets super crowded during tourist season and parking can be impossible, so it's a good idea to go in early. Alternatively, come with a sacrificial friend and force them to drive around the block until you're done ordering.“

“I’m visiting Ventnor for the first time, staying right around the corner, and found this place my first day. The food is so good that I keep coming back — so far I’ve had the turkey club, banana bread French toast, banana split, an ice cream cone, and now I’m back for oatmeal and fresh fruit. Great little place!“

“Just left from a first time visit. Y’all have to go. The location is quaint and the coffee house itself gives feelings of easy and inclusive camaraderie. We went during what turned out to be a busy spring break afternoon. The coffee house was bustling with a full house and full staff. We were greeted immediately and the wait was short. The menu was comprehensive and chock full of ingenious craft lattes which, as a bartender, I appreciate and admire. They even had decaf espresso ( I am eternally grateful)! The menu is giving everyday brunch vibes, which I love. For coffee, we ordered a chocolate peanut butter latte & a toffee nut latte. Both were delicious, but I have to say, my chocolate pb latte came out on top (BIG fan). For food, we ordered a breakfast burrito and a blueberry & brie grilled cheese. Both delicious. Topping it off, we got a grilled French toast muffin that I could eat every day.Apart from the food, the staff was amazing. From the cashier to the baristas to the servers everyone was super kind and cheerful. We were separately welcomed by what seemed to be two owners or an owner and a manager. I regret not asking. Regardless, they were both so attentive, curious of us and genuinely happy to have two new customers.TLDR;Overall, as someone who works in the industry, we had a fantastic experience. The staff was kind and helpful. The superiors were welcoming and interested in their customers. The coffee was superior. The food was great.10/10. We are now regulars.“

“The atmosphere is great. We did not have to wait and the servers are very attentive. I ordered the cali turkey it was delicious but ate only half I took rest home. My husband loved the sausage sub and the New England corner chowder was great “

“This was a great local spot in Atlantic City. Great diner food affords pricing and a lovely server. Everything was good. Very homey feel when eating the food. Makes you feel good. We had the two eggs over medium with bacon and grits plus pancakes eggs with cheese beef sausage and turkey bacon. Everything tasted great. Better than other diners I’ve had. Thank you to the chef and server who committed to multiple roles and did the best he could in providing quality service and food!“

“I visited Brittany's while in AC for a concert with my Dad, finding it in searching online for good breakfast places. Very happy we ended up eating here. I had a breakfast sandwich with pork roll and potatoes on the side, which was very good, and my dad enjoyed his Belgian waffle. Would definitely return to Brittany's if ever back in AC.“

“We almost kept driving and then I read the reviews. Like WHOA! I watched the chef prepare our food with such swag and precision. My order was perfect and served to me plated perfectly. Before I tasted the food I knew it was going to be delicious and I was not disappointed. 5 stars is not enough. Trust me, take a crack at The Cracked Egg Cafe!!’“

“Having grown up just a couple of blocks from Positively, I would have been in this place every day if it was around back then. It has a nostalgic feel that’s very comforting. Very fitting name! Great, relaxing, quiet atmosphere with a hint of some Grateful Dead jams playing in the distance. I love all of the plants and artwork. Great friendly service and delicious coffee too. Didn’t eat anything this time but I’ll be back.“

“There are four very good reasons why this highly rated restaurant is so hard to get into.First they only accept reservations two weeks in advance made over the telephone.Second, it’s tiny, around 35 tables, so demand outstrips seats available. I’d call it an intimate dining atmosphere.Third, the service is top notch that works as a precision team to pamper you. Waiter. Supporting staff. Table side Performers.But what’s most important, this is some of the finest Italian food you’ll ever eat.We started with classic clams casino - a special that evening and SOOOOO GOOD.Table side Caesar was a fun experience with a payoff - one of the best versions a I’ve had.My wife had the lobster tails and shrimp scampi combo with the most delish spinach side.I had the veal parm on the bone with classic side of spaghetti in red sauce.Unfeakingbelieveable.Ranks up there with the best fine Italian dining I’ve experienced as a traveling salesperson 30 years across the USA eating at the best of the best in Las Vegas, New York, Chicago, Los Angelos, London.This spot is Top 10 stuff.Drinks of bourbon old fashioneds were strong and perfectly stirred.My wife’s after dinner cappuccino was delish.“

“I AM NOT EVEN JOKING THIS IS MY HEAVEN. The whole fam loves this little cafe. We go weekly just to get a taste of heaven. The food is litterly beyond amazing. We reccomend avocado toast, any ice cream or milkshakes, beachbums, or any coffee specials. I would give the atmosphere a 7/5 if I could, because HO-LY it's just the cutest in here. On occasion, they have live music, a very talented man who takes requests and even plays Taylor swift. The service is decent, but it can get a bit slow when the place is really packed. There are bike racks, a whole parking lot, and tables outside too. Go here. Please. You. Will. Not. Be. Disapointed.❤“

“I must have passed this place year after year but never noticed it before this past summer! We enjoyed a Sunday brunch seated outdoors under a canopy. It was a very hot morning but there was a lovely breeze coming off the ocean. Our meals were delicious! I had a breakfast burrito which was large and heavenly! The coffee was good, too. Staff was helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Brenda's Cafe!“

“They had boards games and chess boards , they also had on display a local black author which you could read and also purchase , my drink was delicious despite me ordering the drink cold when I think the barista shoulda maybe suggested I get it hot , it’s was a rapseberry dark chocolate mocha and it was devious mocha , the raspberry powder in the cold drink doesn’t really mix as I would suppose it would have in hot drink , I think it was freeze dry raspberry , I got it cold because it a bit sunny that morning , wouldn’t have mind the barista making a suggestion“

“Read on line about your happy hour and was disappointed that we were not allowed to order from that menu.....only at the bar Does not mention only at bar on your website. Prices compared to other Japanese restaurants are rather much higher. Would love to visit again, but due to higher prices, unable to do so.“

“The friendliest of people and definitely gives the small town everyone is welcome vibes. The scones are to die for. They are addicting. I haven't had a flavor yet that wasn't delicious from this place. The iced coffee was amazing too!“

“Stepping into this Vietnamese macaroon wonderland was like entering a sweet symphony at The Bambú Cafe . The different mix of flavor assortments of macaroons were nothing short of a literal visual feast of vibrant color palettes, delicate shells, and flavors that danced on my taste buds like sugar-coated ballet routines . Each macaroon felt like a miniature masterpiece marshmallow melting on my tongue , with textures of crispiness and melt-in-your-mouth goodness. From classic flavors like vanilla and chocolate to innovative combinations like 'red velvet' and 'champagne '.This place really has macaroon alchemy down to a fine art. It was a journey through a spectrum of tastes, and my taste buds were happily lost in the labyrinth of sweetness. And then there were the boba teas we ordered ; the Tarot Milk Tea & The Lychee Boba Tea - delightful partners in crime to the macaroon fiesta in my mouth . The boba & lychee fruit pearls tasted like chewy treasures every time I found a new rubbery pearly one! It added an extra layer of joy to the already fantastic explosion experience I was having . From creamy matcha concoctions to fruity explosions, the boba teas were a sip of pure sugary heaven. The ambiance of Bambú transported me to a Vietnamese dreamscape. If you're in the mood for a dessert adventure, Bambú is the undisputed destination. Deliciousness wrapped in macaroon magic and sipped through boba blissfully- it's a culinary journey that leaves you craving an encore I ordered 2x in a week one time !! And they prepare it beautifully !!! To me presentation matters and that's what they have achieved here ! The overall experience is a bit pricey so this can't be an all the time affair unfortunately- 12 macaroons came to $42 .. so not a normal " everyday treat" A recommendation would be to allow customers to choose their own macaroons in the future and to offer some type of deals or sell gift boxes maybe ? Aside from that ...Treat your taste buds; they'll thank you later! I highly recommend!“

“Wow, what a lovely find while in nearby AC as a great breakfast / Brunch spot. Was created by a lovely hostess and selected outdoor seating as it was in the 60s this past weekend. The coffee was super fresh, the menu had anything imaginable and food came out with lovely presentation and tasted great. The server was phenomenal. Prices fair and great portions. We loved it. For sure will return .“

“I had the flight of soups which consist of 3 small cups of Crab and corn chowder, Lobster bisque and French onion. All three were absolutely delicious and coupled with the Bah Mi sandwich that I split we're talking one satisfying meal!“

“As station cafes go this has to be one of the best. The Reuben was pretty good! A little wet and a little too much cheese but the meat was excellent and the roasting of the bread was on point. Their coffee was broadly average, as expected. Hash browns were really well crisped and seasoned.“

“Our server was wonderful! The food was absolutely delicious from the appetizers, salad and meal. The mocha tequila martini was delicious and refreshing. Romanelli's is clean, beautifully decorated and refreshing. 5 Stars all the way! Definitely going back to try more of this fabulous food! Kim G.“

“Traveled to the area for a special event & the night before I found this gem. Their wings are their specialty & I tried their Mild/BBQ sauce, which was amazing!!! Since they're right near the water I then tried the Broiled Flounder, which was wonderful! I even dipped my fries in the extra wing sauce and just wow!! I also enjoyed talking with the Philly Sports fans, they were knowledgeable and very welcoming to this Boston guy. I would absolutely go back next time I'm here!!“

“I really enjoyed prime rib night at Emily’s! Every Tuesday they offer the prime rib special, which includes a 14 oz. prime rib with a garden salad, asparagus, and potato for $29.95. Considering all you get, that’s a very good deal for Ocean City. All the food tasted excellent and was well-prepared. The dining room wasn’t that crowded, yet the server took about twenty minutes before she attended to my table and took my order. Other than the long wait to order, I had a wonderful dinner at Emily’s, and I recommend this place overall.“

“My family and I had the pleasure of eating here while staying at Atlantic City. Our waiter Keith was the best. He did an excellent job of making sure we were taken care of. The food was also great. We ordered the chicken and waffles, cornbeef with eggs. Delicious ? 10/10 We will be back to try their dinner menu.“

“I'm not sure what issues occur when some posters give negative reviews, but must say we were hesitant to have breakfast at breadsticks based on several of those reviews. Being hungry and ready for breakfast and wanting actual eggs, etc. My wife and I decided to give this cafe a chance. When we arrived, a greeter welcomed us and immediately sat us at a clean organized booth with a beautiful view of the ocean. The special for the day was a flanksteak skillet w/two eggs done to your liking, hash browned potatoes, onions, green peppers and queso fresco cheese for a very good price of $19.99, I actually could not finish the amount of food that was brought to our table. My wife ordered an ham and cheese omelet, the waitness took our order after being seated for about five minutes and the coffee server was the most attentive, pleasant person one could be, almost to the point of over doing it, but was fantastic! After about ten minutes our food was brought to the table, I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised to see the quality and quantity of food ordered. Each dish we ordered was absolutely delicious and cooked to exact desired specifications. So for us, we can only say how pleasant and attentive all the servers were and how excellent the quality and quantity of food was, and at a very reasonable price. Not to mention some gorgeous ocean views. We actually returned the next day with our daughter and her boyfriend and enjoyed exactly the same service, atmosphereand quality of food, highly recommend.“

“Cute little bistro with small sandwiches, breakfast items, coffee, drinks, etc. A lot of people are complaining about pricing, this location is in the heart of the casino area so I expected to pay about $8 per dessert. Got the NY cheesecake, and my boyfriend got the Oreo brownie. Upon checkout, the gentleman was beyond friendly and even threw in two HUGE donuts for free! I'd definitely return.“

“I love the bagels at Hot Bagels. I live a long ways from Northfield but if I am in the area then I usually stop in to pick up a dozen. They are chewy delicious. The cranberry-orange, cinnamon-raisin, and sun dried tomatoes are my favorite flavors.“

“Sunrise was OUTSTANDING! The food is spectacular & the service is pinpoint ? The hostess is truly phenomenal ? She greeted us warmly & kept us laughing during our visit lol We liked it so much our first visit that it was a no-brainer to go back the next day‼️? “
