    Incredible coffee spot right on the beach! I went back three times during my vacation! I loved my iced vanilla latte with oat milk. It's cute inside and they have a few seats, some retail, and they have some pastries for sale. They have a sister location across the street with more food options too.

    One of my fave tea and coffee shops on the beach side for certain! Forget that big chain coffee shop's refreshers, there are better without all the weird chunk fruit! I love fruit, just not soggy at the bottom of my drink. We stopped in here after a pretty full morning. Well, actually we stopped in twice but what I wanted was something warm that morning so we wait until the afternoon to stop in for something colder after the sun was out. The art on the walls is beautiful! The service was great, not much of it in Cape May isn't.

    Great spot tucked off the side of the boardwalk next to the convention center. Very cute spot, matcha late with almond milk comes unsweetened and was very refreshing to have after morning yoga. Arnold Palmer was also very good and not too sweet. Super cute spot!

    Maple latte

    I had the best maple latte here! Cute little place and great location! Not a lot of seats but great vibes.

    Newer addition to cape May, kinda hidden so make sure you look for the signs! Located in a beautiful walkway leading right to the beach! Small selection of baked goods, bagels, and breakfast items. They also have a cook to order menu. I tried the latte and quite enjoyed it. It only comes in one size unfortunately.

    Enjoyed the ice cold latte with a pump of caramel on a nice hot summer day at the beach!

    Great little coffee shoppe. Hidden on the side of the convention center. The coffee was very good and the service was ok. Not the friendliest but proficient at their jobs. Establishment was clean. After you get your coffee go sit in the rocking chairs in front of convention center and enjoy the view!

    Love love love this coffee shop! It's so nice that it's right on the beach and easy to walk up too from the water. It's such a cute logo with good coffee and the people were really nice! Can't wait to go back every time I go to cape may!

    What a little gem! It is literally steps from the beach and the lady working their was so knowledgeable and friendly. She made me an iced caramel latte and it was delicious! We also tried the turmeric ginger tea over ice. Also refreshing! We then took our coffee to walk in the beach!

    good coffee to grab while on the pier. i tried the lavender latte, it was good ! i wish i asked for little extra lavender. it was also cute inside with pretty wall art.

    Parfait and Java boost smoothie

    Found this place on a morning walk and it was amazing....coffee ice cubes in the cold brew and the Java boost smoothie and yogurt parfait were also great. Added bonus was when I asked for no granola in my parfait bc I cannot have gluten, the granola is gluten free! Will definitely be coming back when we return to Cape May!

    Excellent coffee, extremely friendly service, and a very clean and beautiful shop! There are cold drinks, bags of coffee, store merch, and snacks for sale along with a ton of coffee, bowl, and smoothie options. Defintiely returning!

    I had Fine Fellows Creamery bookmarked for a few years now, well before I ever made any plans to…read morevisit Cape May. However, I always knew I would be back, and when I did I wanted to check this place out. I love ice cream, and while they can be a dime-a-dozen on the Jersey Shore, FFC stood out with their great Yelp reviews and the high visibility of its owners across social media. I had finished dinner and was looking for dessert, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to stop in for some ice cream. FFC is located on Beach Ave, right in the heart of one of the main drags in Cape May (also, conveniently around the corner from where I was staying). The decor is super fun - the entire space is decked out in Pride decor, with colorful ice cream aesthetics on the walls and an overall upbeat vibe. FFC serves Bassetts Ice Cream, I'm not familiar with the brand but apparently their cream content is higher than average so how bad can that be? They have several flavors to choose from, as well as a number of toppings, sundae combinations, and milkshakes. I decided to go with Moose Tracks in a cone - I was able to choose the number of scoops I wanted (I got two), as well as the type of cone I wanted. The ice cream was really good - super creamy with lots of peanut butter cups and fudge; the moose were stampeding. Service was also great - I was taken care of promptly and everyone I interacted with was very friendly. Overall, this was a yes - with the plethora of ice cream spots in the area, FFC stands out by serving high quality product in a fun and inviting atmosphere. I would definitely return the next time I find myself in Cape May.

    Cute ice cream shop in Washington Street Mall in Cape May! I'll be honest I can't remember exactly…read morewhat the flavor was but I think it was salted caramel pretzel lol! Very good. You can try some samples while you're there too.
