Although it wasn't very busy, service upstairs was fairly slow, and several nearby tables also seemed to be waiting a while for food or checks. For drinks, we ordered the Boardwalk Lemonade, which was sweet and refreshing, and their version of an Aperol Spritz, which had a beautiful presentation. My dad's Baked Brie Burger was delicious--the fig jam paired perfectly with it, and the waffle fries were fried to perfection. I ordered the Mr. Beautiful Burger, which tasted great at first. Unfortunately, I felt VERY sick almost immediately after eating. I can't say for certain what caused it, but since my dad didn't try my burger and felt fine after his meal, I suspect mine may not have been cooked properly. Despite that, I enjoyed the atmosphere, drinks, and overall experience. I'd definitely give this place another chance, though I'll skip the Mr. Beautiful Burger next time.

Just got back to the Jersey Shore after Covid and the first spot I always go to is The Cookie Lady Cafe. Wow! Was I so pleasantly surprised. Cookie Lady is under new ownership. Same great cook, & staff but the place has been renovated and looks amazing and sooo clean. The food is delicious, the staff always friendly and the new owners are so friendly and accommodating. So happy to see the fresh new look. I sat inside but the outside space has also been redone with a gorgeous awning. I may sit outside next time. You gotta try this place. Best breakfast place in the PP area. read more

I live around the corner from the Cookie Lady and have been coming here for over 2 years. The food is the best breakfast and lunch in town. They have really nice outdoor seating in the summer which I enjoy with my family and kids before we hit the beach. Bike racks also if you choose to ride to the beach and stop for a bite to eat on the way. The owners are great people and get to know their customers. I would recommend for anyone local and traveling from out of town to stop in and enjoy. Make sure you try the fresh squeezed orange juice while you are here. Mike. O read more

My buddy and I stopped in here for a late breakfast as I had a craving for eggs. The place was spotless. I felt like I was in a small town in the 1960's, totally comfortable in a friendly and intimate setting. The food was great. I just had scrambled eggs, coffee toast and home fries but intend to return to try more of the menu items, as they were very appealing. The only negative about The Cookie Lady's Cafe is that I will have a hard time going anywhere else for breakfast in the future! read more

I had breakfast here and the food was fantastic and the menu seem extensive for lunch and breakfast. The scrambled eggs were cooked to perfection along with the very tasty home-fries and the crispy bacon. This is one of the cleanest places I have been to from the front of the house to the kitchen. I hate giving this place such a great review because more people will show up and make it harder to get a seat in such a small place. read more

People don't realize the rising cost of food and what it takes to run a restaurant today. When you go to shop rite do you tell them food is going up . Hard enough to run a small family business. Waking up at 5 am . Think about what you post before you criticize hard working people. read more

The staff is also absolutely wonderful friendly, attentive, and they really help create a great dining experience. Unfortunately, the older woman who appears to be the owner or manager always comes across as very unwelcoming. She often seems annoyed, frustrated, or just mad at the world, and it definitely changes the atmosphere when you walk in. It's disappointing because the rest of the team works so hard and the food is truly outstanding. If it weren't for the amazing staff and excellent food, I honestly probably wouldn't return. Thankfully, they're the reason I keep giving the place another chance.
