I had an early breakfast outside at this cute cafe. The metal chair was cold on my bare legs. Service was fast & friendly. The young gal suggested I get the muffin "grilled" and it was tasty that way. However, I never got silverware or a napkin. The latte & fruit were good. I'd give this place another try... read more

Went here over Labor Day weekend it was very busy, so I'm sure what the regular crowd looks like. There's options to dine in or order coffee, bagels and pastries in the front. The servers were kind and friendly. Mostly teenagers with summer jobs. The speciality coffees were amazing. The pancakes were great. But beware the hash browns/potatoes they were terrible. Very soggy not crispy or flavorful at all. Other than that the place was cute and welcoming. Would come again, it's in a very cute area. read more

Listen Ive been a local customer for 10 years ever since the original owners sold the place to the new owners its been straight garbage and trash. Staff is beyond weak in customer service as well all just children working and like 2 old people.. they continue to mess up cheap and expensive orders and then tell you its not their fault that it is yours what type of service is that... if you did wrong on the order and us customers confront you about it how about be like ok come back and we will give u a fresh one sorry for the mix up not oh thats not our fault then tells us to come in and buy a whole fresh one for the same price not free of replacement from wrong doing. As said im a local 10 yr customer and I swear on life im NEVER EVER EVER EVER going back to them they will NEVER get a dollar from me EVER again..... Save yourselves the headache we have better breakfast morning spots here other then this shit hole. Good luck to you're pockets, headache, and stomach. read more

Super cute and cozy place for breakfast/brunch. They have sweet and savory options but if you've got a sweet tooth you'll definitely be happy with your options. I got the Nutella French toast and a mocha caramel latte and they were 10/10. Wasn't a fan of the regular iced coffee my boyfriend got but the lattes were much better. Service was a little lacking but overall a good experience. read more

TLDR: a hidden gem in southern jersey.I would travel back from NYC just to have another grilled muffin! Came here on recommendation by a local. I didn't really expect much from a grilled muffin, but it ended up being the star of my visit: it was crispy, not overly sweet, warm, and paired with good quality butter. I got the peach muffin and there were good chunks of peach in there. Can't wait to try another! Also ordered a pork roll, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. Never had pork roll before and i quite enjoyed it- reminded me of spam. Also got a side of homefries. While they were good, I wasn't expecting something that resembled hash browns. Service was quick and friendly, no complaints! read more

Agnes Cafe in Ventnor has to be one of my favorites breakfast/lunch spots on the island! It's exactly the type of mom & pop place you'd want to frequent in a small town. It serves simple staples but does it well. I almost always opt for breakfast no matter time of day and I am always satisfied. The pancakes are always sweet and fluffy and the omelettes always filling. Although I think the best part of Agnes cafe has to be its pastries and baked goods. Don't skip out on one! My favorite thing to have is definitely the summer seasonal peach muffin. But you absolutely MUST order it grilled! It's a total game changer. Slather on the butter and eat it while it's warm. You're welcome! Good prices, great food, and even better service! Add this to your list of places to eat while on the island. Just note in true Ventnor fashion, parking can be tricky at times. Especially on weekends in the summer. But it's worth circling the block for! read more

This review is solely on the Jewish Apple Cake they sell. My grandmother knows I love Jewish Apple Cake and we saw a few online reviews boasting how great Agnes Cafe's Jewish Apple Cakes were. However, most of the reviews were a couple years old, and unfortunately the great baker they must have had at that time has been replaced. First, even though the "updated" menu they have posted on their company FB page says they serve it by the slice, when my grandmother asked, they told her she needed to order a whole cake. It cost like $36 I think. She came back a couple days later to retrieve it and it came in a slim cardboard box that was taped shut. The cake itself was the shape of the cardboard box they gave it to her in. Kind of weird in my option. I've never seen any kind of baked goods given to a customer that way. The Jewish Apple Cake itself? in my opinion, not worth the money we paid. I'm no baker but the amount of sugar they must have used made it sickeningly sweet. And even trying to slice it, the cake was reduced to crumbs. No wonder they had to sell it by the loaf! When you cut into it, it crumbled. Unfortunately, we did not find this Jewish Apple Cake to be as good as the online reviews had boasted. The one I buy at Giant Grocery store in PA is much more balanced and will hold shape when you cut it. read more

I almost hesitate to give this review because I'd rather keep this gem to myself. Agnes is my favorite breakfast spot in the Atlantic City/Ventnor/Margate area. The menu has some great options beyond the usual suspects, like blueberry cheesecake stuffed French toast and an avocado toast with finely shaved radish on top. The food is always dependably good and the servers are very pleasant. Ambiance is typical "shore" minimal for a breakfast place. Reasonably priced for the area. A great find. read more

My boyfriend ordered the cafe combo, which includes 2 pieces of bacon. He substituted for sausage for an up-charge and got one piece. I got 2 runny eggs, pork roll and English muffin.. to create my own sandwich. When the food was delivered to our table, I was missing my English muffin and pork roll. The waitress never came by, and my boyfriend was half way done eating his meal. We sat with no refills for a long time. I had to go inside to ask for pork roll and the muffin, it came out in 5 minutes (freshly hot) but my boyfriend was finished at that point and my eggs were cold. I asked for waters and was handed one to walk outside with myself, Instead of 2 being brought to the table. So I asked for a box since he was done eating. We were charged for every little thing and I left on a stomachs worth of coffee :( not happy. read more

Hash Browns salty and forgot the onions Over medium eggs looked kind of like a plastic mold. Hard to describe just not fresh looking. Bacon cooked to death and flat as a piece of paper. Could have been cooked days ago by the looks of it. Pancakes ok but different in their flavor and color. Only two hot lunch selections on the entire lunch menu in December??? I'd have told someone how it all was if Only someone had asked me!!!. I live nearby but it's a one and done for me I'm afraid. Really wanted to like it. Worst part is it cost me $11.

Something tells me I should've ordered breakfast instead of lunch. The roast beef special I ordered was nothing special. The pluses of this sandwich are you get plenty of meat and coleslaw. The minuses are the meat was cold and the Kaiser roll was a little too firm. Maybe hot roast beef sandwiches are more of a Philly thing. I'll try the breakfast next time since many people seem to review that favorably. read more

The hot veggie salad was ok as I was under the impression that the spinach would be sauteed. This place is a favorite for our Aunt and Uncle. The hot pastrami sandwich was ok. I was not sure how to eat the bagel chips that came with the hot veggie salad so I ate it with the minced garlic and pepper sauce. Prices were pricey. I was not impressed. This was a take out order.

Came here for a sweet treat. This bakery has been here in Atlantic City for years…read more The store was small with an ambiance that exhibited cozy comfort and tables and chairs for those who wanted to drink coffee and eat their treats. The service was great! There was a sweet lady at the register and we asked about the various cakes that were in the refrigerated case, to which she replied that she baked them. We chose the lemon and vanilla coconut slices. The coconut cake was covered toasted coconut and the layers contained a pineapple filling. The layers were moist and the cake amazing! The lemon cake was not a slice, but a two layer round with lemon cake and filling topped with a lemon mousse. That was amazing as well. They had an assortment of other cakes, cookies, other pastries and bread items. All in all a great place to stop by for a sweet treat while in Atlantic City.

Awesome, consistency that's the reason for this review, I don't write reviews but credit should be given to where credit is deserved. Ok, let's go! The place is located decent, if your lucky to get the parking spots Infront or to the side. Walking distance to the little village strip of shops here in Ventnor City. 2 blocks from the beach. Outside seating if you decide to sit outside. They do have coverage Incase the weather gets a little wet. Friendly service personnel, always greeting and smiling, that makes your stay pleasant. The owner is always there working and hands on which is admirable, keep an eye on your investment is a great trait to have. Plus you are personal with your local customers. The owner remembers your face and orders if your a regular and that shows the appreciation for your business. Many times I walk in and the just when the owner sees my face she smiled and says "your usual?" I bring my family there on the weekends to have breakfast and I personally go there every morning for my coffee and newspaper. Oh by the way food is good and coffee is great, better than WAWA. GREAT JOB read more

Great casual little spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. It's owned and operated by a husband and wife (Agnes), they are very welcoming and accommodating. By far the best place to have some breakfast on the island. They close at 3pm daily, so plan accordingly. They offer an impressive selection of coffees and iced coffees. I had an iced vanilla coffee with skim milk that was far beyond better (and less expensive) than any coffee shop. My friend had a fresh green smoothie that was also very good and you could tell it was made with quality ingredients. All the muffins are made on the premises and you can taste how fresh they are. The pancakes are delish. My favorite thing on the menu is the Nova salmon sandwich. So good!!! The prices are really reasonable and the service is super friendly! read more

We ordered the western omelet with a side of tomato and the Westine's Waffle Special with sausage links and a sunny side up egg. Omelet was too greasy for my taste. It was more like a deep fried omelet than your classic diner omelet. The Westines waffle was a little wimpy. Pretty thin and didn't seem fresh. It really reminded me of an eggo waffle but at a premium price. Seems like a beloved local spot and I'd be willing to come back but would get something else. I think this is a dessert place first, breakfast place second if you know what I mean. Classic breakfast (eggs, toast, bacon) seems more like the way to go here rather than omelet and waffle. Service was friendly but not very attentive.

We came to Ready's for breakfast and ended up with one of the most authentic American diner…read moreexperiences on the Jersey Shore. Everything is made-to-order, and you can feel the pride in every bite. The cinnamon buns? Our daughter said they tasted just like the homemade ones from her grandmother, high praise in our family. We're originally from Pennsylvania, so of course we had to try the scrapple. It hit the mark: classic, crispy, and comforting. The pancakes tasted like the real thing, no shortcuts. The western omelette was superb, made with fresh ingredients, and the broccoli and cheese omelette didn't disappoint either. What truly made the morning was Donna. Her service elevated the entire experience. She's the kind of server you remember. Warm, attentive, and the perfect complement to a family-owned establishment that still believes in hospitality. Everyone on staff moved with purpose and kindness, from the hostess to the kitchen crew. The crowd was a lively blend of locals and tourists, with the kind of noise that tells you people are enjoying themselves, laughing, catching up, sipping coffee. The atmosphere felt like stepping into a Norman Rockwell painting but with better eggs. We were with our oldest child visiting from college, and this breakfast became a memory. For Manhattan natives like us, Ready's delivered everything we hope for when visiting the Shore: honest food, community feel, and a standout staff that made us feel like regulars. Verdict: LOVE. Highest possible recommendation. This is an Ocean City pilgrimage stop, one of the best finds on the Shore. Cash only, so come prepared, and come hungry. NOTE: CASH ONLY!!!

They're only 2 blocks from the beach, so only street parking is available. There's a nice variety of breakfast & lunch options. I had the Orale Benedict which has chorizo on top of a slice of sweet potato instead of an English muffin. My poached eggs were a little under but I still enjoyed it. It came with salad or fruit. I opted for the salad & thought the vinaigrette was fresh & tasty. Service was prompt & friendly. I also liked that they brought out an ice bucket for my sparkling wine. They also have specialty coffee drinks that I'll have to try next time because I will definitely be back!

The omelet was fairly good, but I was disappointed with the fruit. It was an up charge and the portion was tiny. My husband got the stuffed French toast with a side of turkey sausage. The French toast was very tasty but the turkey sausage was overcooked and not good. I would love to come back and try Velo for lunch.

Not your average breakfast joint! My wife's family has been vacationing in Ocean City for years and…read morethis was everyone's first visit to Hooked on Breakfast. One of the servers who knows our niece suggested we stop by for breakfast during her shift and recommended we come before 8 am as it gets busy. By the time we arrived (after 8 am lol) our only option was to sit outside, otherwise the wait would've been 45 minutes--she was right. When I say I'm not a breakfast person, I don't mean I dislike breakfast foods. I just don't enjoy eating early in the day. This did not stop me from looking through pictures on Yelp and Google (Wow! Everything looked delicious!) and through the menu which had some very intriguing options including Woody's Scrap Pile, Cannoli Pancakes, and Breakfast Sushi (only on Tuesdays) just to name a few. The menu has all your typical breakfast foods and combos you'd find at any diner or breakfast joint, but then there are also much more unique, elaborate "craft" options that really make this menu stand out. Our server, who is also a teacher in my niece's school, was great. She was friendly, attentive, professional, frequently checked in, and was especially good with the kids, offering crayons and their choice of colored straws. While I didn't eat, my 5 star rating is based on the service (of course), the coffee, and unanimous positive remarks from around the table. I really liked the coffee mugs. They were large (larger than your average coffee mug), sturdy mugs that were filled nearly to the brim with piping hot coffee. My wife got the Sour Dough Delight--grilled sour dough topped with bacon, goat cheese, arugula, balsamic reduction (which she skipped) and two eggs (any style). She loved it and told me she'd absolutely order it again after she tries the Avocado Naan. Guess we're coming back at least twice more lol! Our table also had an Omelette, a breakfast sandwich, and French Toast. Everyone enjoyed their food and the portion sizes were huge--I don't think anybody finished their plate. While I did think the prices were fair, especially for the quality and quantity of food served, the online menu hadn't been updated to reflect current prices. I can see why they get as busy as they do and why they've received so many 5 star reviews. I'm sure Hooked on Breakfast will be added to our list of stops on our annual Ocean City family vacation after our experience this July.

We have also enjoyed their lox and cream cheese sandwich, as well. They do have a good variety of cream cheese spreads for those who like sweet or savory flavors. Definitely check this place out especially if you are trying to head to the beach early in the summer and want something to munch on!
