I love that the bar is a venue on Untappd. The menu is fresh and the selection of craft beer is awesome! I'm hoping to make a second trip to Cape May this fall and Mad Batter will be part of it.

Such a unique little restaurant . Not too crowded during lunch on the weekend. We had egg dishes and they were both cooked to perfection. Friendly and fast service . Would love to go back soon!

Valeriya Gershteyn

The brunch was amazing. They have almond milk for coffee , and amazing brunch food . Omelette with lump crab meat was amazing.

Dana Repasch Merville Mooney

This is our favorite breakfast place. Terrific Bloody Marys and Bellinis and the food! Try the Croustade!

Sabra B

Crab Cakes were awesome & my Peach Martini was really good! The porch was a great place to sit. Reservations are a must.

Ryan Gallagher

Really good beer list . Live music . Great bar spot.

Susan Critelli

The food is exquisite. From the bread and dipping oil to the cappuccino and Creme brûlée , everything we had was fantastic! hotel guests get a nice discount off the bill.

Tony Xerri

Looks like the only non redundant top I can leave here is to whatever meal you get HAS to be accompanied by the peach sangria . Legit crazy delicious. Bla bla pancakes bla bla brunch bla bla bla bla...

Richard Revilla

Shrimp Taco was amazing with sweet potato fries . Sit outside in the shade enjoy a cocktail . Don't forget a double espresso before you go back to the beach .

Matt Crowe

Service wasn’t the fastest but we did dine at 2:00 on a Thursday both my pancakes & home fries were perfect, my wife commented that her chorizo breakfast ???? could have been spicier with less tomato .

Malick Kelly

Eggs Benedict and home fries were amazing. The service was even better. Barbara is one of the best waitresses that I have ever encountered.

Irene S

Almond orange French toast is mmm mmm good! Fresh specialty juices are nice. Great and friendly staff !!

Nadya W

I have been here many times for breakfast , lunch , and dinner . Each menu has a wonderful selection to choose from, and the food is delicious! During the summer, it gets crowded , so be prepared to wait.

Brooks Doyne

Amazing brunch . Try to sit outside it's a way better experience. I had the special which was a fish taco . Amazing. Get the Bloody Mary too it's great

George L

Breakfast ! Hash and eggs , croustade, and breakfast burritos...plus really good pancakes !

Jason F

Definitely ask to sit outside, such great scenery. The garden salad is excellent and I had the Tuscan fettuccine - also recommended. Vegan options - even vanilla ice cream !

Ryan Eng

Great place to grab brunch while on vacation down the shore! Make sure to arrive early, as it fills up fast but if there is a line it's worth the wait.

Ayin

Brunch was yummy and very affordable ! Also, the restaurant has some of the best turkey bacon I've ever tasted!

Onezumi Hartstein

OH MY GOD THIS PLACE IS INSANE. And by "insane", I mean DELICIOUS! EAT ALL THE FOOD!

Maria Costa-Stienstra

Really good martinis . The black bean cake is delicious and they have vegan cheese and sour cream . Live music too.

Sometimes they'll offer lobster eggs benedict ... go for it!

Todd A Williams

Love the country breakfast with scrapple. The bloody mary wasn't bad either! ????

Sandy

It's worth the wait to eat on the porch out front, it's ever so pleasant on Jackson street looking out at Victorian houses! :) Reasonably priced, and they have the best eggs Benedict !

Atul Moghe

Appetizers are huge and are meals by themselves.. Calamari , white Pizza ! Amazing..!

Cindy JC

Sat inside - hot out! Garden room is so pretty! Crab cake sandwich and the wings were delicious!

Pete Evans

A very popular restaurant , so reservations are recommended. Nice outdoor dining available, good food selection and most importantly they have a bar on premises.

Anna Browne

The vegan tostadas were delicious!

Jessica L.

Order the eggs benedict and a mimosa for breakfast . My favorite combo! They also have the thickest bacon I've ever seen. Very satisfying.

Matthew H

The country breakfast was great. The beer list seems to be ever changing.

Kristen

Best buttermilk pancakes I've ever had.

Willian Paixao

Best restaurant of Cape May, no doubts.

Bobb Hawkey

When super busy in the morning, sit at the bar . Full service without the wait. And have a man-mosa.

Shawn Hickman

Get the buttermilk pancakes and side of bacon . Delicious.

Nic Poulos

Morgan Rostie : open faced omelette with crab and cheese

Mattt Mattt

Lots of vegetarian and vegan options , super delicious, and kid friendly .

G T

Breakfast was good and plentiful. Pancakes are just ok.

Foodie & The Beast

Waldorf chicken salad was ok, not superb. We had a horrible waitress . Sounds like they are known for breakfast and we had dinner .

Kelly Fergusob

Best Bloody Mary's ever!

Matthew Hunt

If you're deciding between the Croustade and the Chorizo & Eggs , get the Chorizo & Eggs !

P B

Arrive together with your entire party, they don’t seat incomplete parties ????

Mike A.

The food and servers are attentive and quick.

Dave Spo

Great eggs Benedict and beautiful stain glass .

Onezumi Hartstein

They will tell you that you can order full menu at the bar . DON'T. Service is so bad at the bar . They took our menus back without taking our order or giving us the specials so I gave up.

Alecia Kornicki

Branzino was amazeballs!

Luke Ackerman

The best bar snacks in town !

John Baker

The brunch is excellent!

Michael Ultsh

Almond French toast is amazing!!!

Sandi Tracy

Bloody Mary's and crab eggs Benedict are the best !

Daniel M.

I'm not saying this place is overrated, but if you go here for brunch (assuming you actually get a seat) you may want to bring your own tea , coffee , half and half , pancake syrup and Bloody Mary mix .
