    Iced strawberry matcha
    Marla C.

    We got the iced strawberry matcha and it was good!! I would definitely get it again. The staff was nice. They were pretty busy when I went.

    Located a few blocks from the beach, Swell Cafe offers coffee/lattes (hot and iced), smoothie bowls, pastries, breakfast, and brunch/lunch. There's seating inside and a couple tables outside to enjoy your beverage/food. I like how they have a takeout window to order as well. Staff was super friendly and patient as I decided what to order. My iced latte with brown sugar wasn't too sweet and was made with homemade brown sugar syrup. It was just the right pick-me-up to start my morning. I also got the raspberry oat crumble bar, a customer favorite. This bar is definitely a must. Not too sweet and the perfect morning (or even afternoon) treat. I'll definitely back when I'm in the area for another iced latte and to try their banana whip.

    The cute pick up window

    My favorite coffee place in OC! I love their coffee, food options and the staff is always friendly. Inside is light and bright with a few tables and some outside seating as well This is a weekly stop for me as a local and something I always look forward to.

    This is my new FAVORITE coffee shop! The homemade syrups are so tasty and you can tell they are made well! This is the place to go for a high quality latte. My husband has loved his cappuccinos as well! It is so cute inside too! The barista has been so nice every time even when I snuck in right before closing!

    Went around 12:30 on Sunday. Took over an hour to get my order. Half the orders were for people that left before they got theirs.

    Took them 45 minutes to make us our drinks and they weren't even that good. Not worth the wait.

    You can't go wrong starting your day with a banana whip and iced latte (organic of course) with coconut milk.

There is a Photo Booth outside which was very popular and some outdoor seating They only serve coffee products and a few sweets but they were sold out of those. They have specials like the Banana Latte made with homemade banana syrup...yum! I was still able to taste the espresso and this was so refreshing, no fake banana taste. They are quick and knowledgeable and can make anything from a regular hot coffee to flavored lattes. I will be back and highly recommend this spot A real gem in OCNJ !

We got in line around 8:20 AM, and the wait was about 20 minutes. Thankfully, it moved pretty quickly. I ordered the Birthday Latte, and I really enjoyed it. I was expecting it to be overly sweet based on other reviews, but it was actually the perfect balance of subtle, flavorful, and not overpowering. My fiancé ordered the Banana Latte. At first, it barely tasted like banana, so we gave it a good shake and tried it again, but it still needed something. We ended up asking for an extra syrup, which definitely helped. Overall, the coffee was really good. I'm not sure I'd wait 20 minutes again, but I can definitely understand why it's so popular. The shop itself is adorable! They have the cutest little photo booth, fresh-cut flowers, and a selection of pastries like chocolate and plain croissants, along with other grab-and-go treats. The atmosphere definitely adds to the experience.

Even though I feel like juice is a silly breakfast, I agreed and we drove in to town. Inside, the place is spotless. I know it is new but they d a really good job of keeping the place clean. I have actually never seen it all that crowded and I wonder if it is the location or healthy nature of their fare that keeps people away. I got a vegan granola bar and "Kooler" cold pressed juice. Both were really good and the juice came in a jar that can be returned for a discount on a future purchase. The granola bar was different but tasty. It was very crumbly so don't expect to eat it while walking or driving. My girlfriend got a "Red" bowl that was big and seemed to be very filling. The food is somewhat pricey but you definitely get large portion sizes (of the food at least). Hopefully, I will return. I am torn on whether I like having these new, upscale businesses in Ocean City. I certainly like having an upscale small business right in the heart of town, but I have a feeling that bougie places like this are a sign that rising price are here to stay in OC. If you are a local, give this place a try! They also have great coffee.
