Driven past here several times and had the opportunity to try it today. Upon entering the restaurant we were warmly greeted & pleasantly surprised by how large the dining area was. The atmosphere is fresh & clean. The hostess told us they also have a complete lower level. When seated were offered coffee immediately & water & additional beverages. Our waitress was friendly & attentive. We ordered 2 meals to split from the extensive menu. It offered some fun combinations and plenty of classics. Food arrived hot and very flavorful. Definitely will be back to check out some lunch options. read more

Food was good. My friend won the day with the stuffed amaretto French toast. Italian Benedict was good. Other friend was happy with her Italian omelette. Server was very good. Food took longer than a normal breakfast... And we definitely got a "they ain't from around here" vibe when we walked in (and indeed, we are not from around there). But it was bright, clean, and the food was good. 3.5 if I could. Mostly here to post food pics because there are just too many of the menu! Final guidance - ask for separate checks up front. They wouldn't split. read more

Mediocre at best. The set up was weird inside. The chairs and tables were uncomfortable and it felt like a preschool. The food was decent. Desert centered menu. Waitress was inattentive- I got cream chipped beef and it was good but barely hot. Overall, 3.5/5 . Brother said pancakes were excellent. read more

Great people, great atmosphere, and great food. Excellent find! Thank you for a great start to the day!

Prompt and friendly service, right at the start. we were seated comfortably and offered every bit of warm hospitality we could have hoped for - especially on our first visit. the coffee was delicious, every plate we ordered was just right, from the omelets to the pancakes.... big shout out to their team for being so warm and welcoming. the layout is clean, comfortable and evenly spaced so you're not right on top of the next table - a blessing first thing in the morning as you're trying to perk up for the rest of your day. read more

The food was okay and the customer service was average. The reason they got one star is because they charge you for everything. What is a sharing plate charge? You're going to charge me $3 to share the food I'm paying for. Also gave me horrible iced coffee and when I asked for caramel they charge you a $1 for a small amount in a to-go saucer. Not the most comfortable place for people that aren't from around here. read more

OMG! This place was my breakfast dreams! So many fun options for breakfast dishes! There were six of us in our party and everyones food looked SO good, even the kids meals were amazing! I had a very hard time choosing what to get because everything sounded so good. I ended up with the amaretto french toast and I think it might've been the best french toast i've ever had! We ate there a few weeks ago and I still think about that french toast! One of the kids got pancakes with sprinkles on them which was adorable! The salmon Benedict looked fantastic too! I really wish I lived in NJ so I could go back to this place, it was amazing! If you live near this place you are missing out if you don't go check it out!! read more

Food was delicious and service could not have been better. Atmosphere is light and airy. Will definitely be back and highly recommend.

A really nice entry into the ever competitive jersey shore brunch scene. The creative egg, pancake and French toast offerings are as attractive as they are tasty. They even offer delicious sausage patties. My only complaint is that most of the pancake and French toast creations are far too sweet. A nutty, grainy entry would be welcome. The prices are also a bit high - especially considering egg tariffs. The staff, however, is terrific. read more

Sha Swirl Cafe & Bakery - Pumpkin pancakes - Bakeries Near Me - Galloway, New Jersey

This place is a local treasure. If you are looking for speciality pancakes and French toast this is your place. I ordered the stuffed almond French toast which was more like a five star dessert. The French toast was stuffed with sweet cream cheese and almond paste with a crunchy coating and topped with homemade whipped cream. The portion was huge and could easily feed two people. My husband. Got the pumpkin pancakes topped with their homemade whipped maple cream which were light and fluffy and delicious. We had a side of bacon which was perfectly cooked. Our food came out in a timely manner and the service was excellent. This restaurant is almost 40 minutes from our house but is definitely worth the trip. If you are looking for speciality pancakes snd French toast this is your place. read more

Great experience. The food was delicious service was attentive. Beverage service was prompt and ready to refill. The decor is ok. A lodge style with a little country kitchen vibe. A fake fireplace would really add to the inn like feel. Back to the food... everything was raved about and the portions were great. The coffee was like that bitter yucky diner coffee, so you can pass on that. The new orleans egg Benedict was fantastic!! I hope when I return with friends they don't disappoint. Whoever is in the kitchen on a Tuesday afternoon made me a fan. Crab and shrimp with peppers awesome. The pancakes were huge! They were pleasing to the eaters. The choice of potatoes Cajun or with onions were a compliment to each dish. Love the place and definitely a revisit. The pancake prices were a bit high for 2 pancakes, and the awful coffee, are the other reasons I didn't give it a five..if I could give a 4.5.. that is my vote. I'm going back, but not for pancakes. read more

What's the scoop?!? For those that are locals, you'll know that Sha Swirl was previously named Sheas. This spot is a local favorite and notorious for its specialty breakfast dishes; ESPECIALLY their pancakes and French toast. Get to it!: I tried their apple stuff french toast and it was a dream. Think apple pie filling married a cinnamon bun cream cheese frosting...delish! A sweet dish, filling, and fireworks for your tastebuds. For my sweet and savory friends, get a side of bacon. You're welcome . Parking: parking fills up fast. Carpool if you can because there is no neighboring street parking. If you're not there early, you'll wait! As you know, all good things are worth the wait though! If you're hangry like me, don't go starving (if you do have to wait-bring an emotional support snack). As always, I'm excited for you! -A read more

Visited Sha Swirl with a friend and let me just say I'm SO happy Sheas recipes are back. Got the cinnamon swirl pancakes which are to die for. Also got a side of home fries which also are to die for. We did have a bit of a wait, but that was to be expected. Definitely will be back very soon! read more

Service is terrible ! Breakfast places should be quick ! Took way too long ! We won't be back

Lots of creative pancakes and other breakfast specialties to choose from. One slight quibble - far more sweet than savory options. The breakfast sausage is the best I've ever had - bar none! Service was terrific - ambiance was good brunch atmos. I would return, but my sweet tooth doesn't kick in till after noon. read more

I NEVER post my food. This is our first time here and we will be back! The food was incredible. I had the Swirl's Seafood Omelet. Portions were big. Wendy and Frank, the owners already feel like family. Service was terrific. They brought us their warm Signature Cinnamon Swirl Pancake. I had the Swirl's seafood omelette. Fresh lump crab, shrimp, scallions, tomato's and hollandaise sauce. 18.99, which was was terrific. HIGHLY recommend. read more

The food was amazing! Every bit as good as its predecessor, Shea's, just up the road.

My daughter-in-law recommended this restaurant and I visited it today. Everyone in my family had something. My daughter in law had the Strawberry shortcake mini stack with scrambled eggs and turkey bacon, her dad got 2 any style eggs over hard, Home fries Turkey bacon, biscuit and buttermilk pancakes short stack. My son got Swirl caramel apple stuffed French toast, my husband got salad with tuna on it. We also got cream chipped beef, Reuben and the Balboa. When I tell Everything was DELICIOUS it was DELICIOUS!!!! The ambiance in the Cafe was absolutely splendid. The staff was friendly and very attentive. I haven't found very much to eat by way food my hotel. When I come back to New Jersey I will definately be back. This is best food I have had thus far. I can't say enough about this cafe. If I could give this establisment 10 stars I definately would. read more

Gave this place another try. Only 4 other tables on a Sunday morning at 9:30 so why was our food cold? Wait staff very nice. Coffee pretty good and we understand the temporary up charge on eggs. But lukewarm French toast & potatoes. Bacon cold. Won't be going back. read more

I am so glad this place opened back up because it has been way to long. Sha swirl is a gem in Galloway township. I literally drive from Pennsylvania to go to this place. I'm usually going to a beach or family but this place is on the definitely stopping by list . To start the owner is awesome and very present .she was creating people at the door and making sure people were comfortable the whole time . They are in such a bigger location now so the vibe is nice and dosnt feel like your shoulder to shoulder with people. Ooooo man ,the pancakes were just as good as I remember and boy are they filling. It pains me to do this but I have to let you know . The eggs were horrible. I was with 4 people and I mean we all complained to each other about the eggs. No flavor ,no taste and the scrambled eggs someone got were dry and just looked bad. I used to loooove the omelets and now I actually didn't eat half of it. Hopefully it was just that time but we gotta get the eggs right . Won't stop me from coming back though but I may not order eggs. read more

Loved the selection here, the portions are large, I had two meals from my omlete and it was one of the fluffiest I've ever had!! My friend had crunch french toast...was fabulous too. Looking forward to going back!!! read more

Good mornin I just came there on Thursday, 02/22/2024. We were seated promptly, and a bus boy took our drink orders We quickly decided on our meals & closed our menus. We then were ignored by every employee in the establishment for about 15 minutes. A gentleman came in was seated, and a server almost immediately came to take his order. Now I don't want to be presumptuous, but on the surface it appeared to be racially based. I can't express my disappointment with what transpired. I hope this isn't a regular practice at your establishment. read more

Service was pretty slow. We waited a really long time before anyone stopped by to take our order and the food took an even longer time to come out. When it did it was also pretty disappointing. The hollandaise was dry and there wasn't even close to enough sauce. It was dried onto the egg and there was maybe like half a teaspoon of it on each egg. The egg was way overcooked and was not yolky. The entire thing wasn't seasoned enough. The sha cinnamon pancakes were decent. It's really big. The fresh squeezed orange juice is a nice option. My cousin asked for a military discount since he's in the military and originally they told us he had to be in uniform(?????) they took that back after we questioned it. He has military ID. I'd come back for the pancakes but was pretty disappointed with the slow service and less than average food. read more

Today we went to Sha Swirl for the second time this month for breakfast. We can't help ourselves from visiting this place for the fantastic food . We have enjoyed their huge tasty omelets ,their great stuffed French toast in the past. Our absolute favorites are the Sha Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes & the Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes ,both are just loaded with flavor ,without a doubt the best ever pancakes .The hosts , Frank & Wendy , are very cordial & the server, Lalaine , was out standing . Wonderful service ,Great food ,you can't go wrong ! read more

Outstanding food!! My husband had the special cinnamon pancakes, wow. I had a spinach and feta omelette. It was done differently, the spinach and feta were separate from the egg. Really delicious. The service was great. The owners greeted us and escorted us to our table. All around wonderful. We will be back. read more

not a single complaint. went with the mrs. and both of our orders were fantastic, i got hash browns and french toast she got one of the specialty pancakes, the presentation was beautiful. our server was attentive, clean bathroom and dining area, location is also great plenty of stuff to do nearby, overall really good experience and we definitely plan on returning :) read more

Food was unbelievable, with four delicious options of their swirl French toast. Friends had the sandwiches which were excellent also. The restaurant was large and airy with plenty of room between the tables allows for conversations without someone sitting on your hip. read more

The ambiance is very calming. We were seated immediately and as soon as we sat down someone approached asking if we wanted coffee. Our waitress came and took our order. The staff made sure we always had a full cup of coffee and asked if we needed anything. Food was amazing. I had pancakes with bacon and my husband had the western omelet. I cannot say enough about the fantastic staff. Food was excellent! A must visit!!! read more

So happy to see this place back!!!! I can't tell you how much I missed your almond stuffed french toast! EXCELLENT!!!!!

Simply the best breakfast on the planet. We are thrilled that Wendy and her crew are back and better than ever. Everything they make is fresh and top notch. read more

I have been coming here since it was Shea's before. Since day one, I have always gotten the seashore omelette. I have always enjoyed the food and had an amazing experience. This is the first time I did not. My wife ordered the stuffed cinnamon French toast. Hers came out perfectly. She ate and enjoyed it. I orders the seashore omelette. I specifically asked for no scallions. I got seasoned home fries and toast with it. My omelette had scallions on top. I was willing to push past them and enjoy it regardless even though I'm not a big fan of them. I took a bite of my home fries. They were burnt to me. I had my wife try one and she even said they were burnt. Our waitress was very apologetic. I know mistakes happen and am very understanding to that. What upsets me the most is the owner just stood behind the counter drinking her water and never came over. When we went to pay, her boyfriend/husband asked how our meal was. My wife responded "mine was great hers was not" he completely disregarded that by not acknowledging it no sorry not a word and went right into payment. This shows this place does not care about their customers like I thought they did and they just lost two loyal customers. read more

Service was great & it was clean. Food was pretty awful. Eggs congealed, potatoes undercooked, bacon greasy & fatty, pancakes tasted like cardboard and were smothered in sugar. Butter tasted like it was mixed with oil. And it was crazy expensive. $50 with tip. I was there about ten months ago when it was Shea's and it was terrific. read more

Great food, great customer service! I always get the bananas fosters pancakes, scrambled eggs, and Turkey bacon. Delicious! I can honestly say they have the best eggs and Turkey bacon I've ever had from a breakfast place. I usually don't like eggs at restaurants because they seem fake but their eggs keep me coming back! Quick service too. Just wish they had a phone number so I can call ahead to order. read more

Don't believe the hype. Overpriced, Unimpressed. Gourmet prices for OKAY food. The owner Wendy seems very nice but that's where it ends. They have no idea how to manage a waitlist. I mean, take a cel number for goodness sakes!. Don't wander around on the sidewalk looking into the parking lot for them for 5 minutes when you have 10 other parties on the list waiting where they should be. (And then seat them when they show up 30 minutes later?) I am in the music industry. Music was so loud I was waiting for the opening act to come out. I had to yell to order and finally had to ask for the music to be turned down, which they did so with no problems, and was promptly thanked by the tables around me (Speak up people!). Staff was pleasant but service was ridiculously slow. Super creative menu but what's the point if every time I made a menu selection, I was apologetically told we're out of that or we can make it but were out of this part of the item. Offering to make one of the hard roll menu items on white bread is completely unacceptable. Saying you can make a menu item featuring nuts but your out of the nuts? That's just, well, NUTS. Came for breakfast but wound up with a rueben with sour kraut so wet the entire sandwich was soggy and practically floating on the plate. Will I return? HARD PASS. read more
