    Blueberry fritter special
    Osi R.

    Small cozy beach vibe cafe that serves a delicious breakfast. The waitress and the owners were very friendly and helpful. This will be my go to place for breakfast while visiting here in Wildwood.

    Veggie & Cheese Omelet

    PROs - breakfast options , taste CONs - Coffeeeee , tea :( We were staying in wildwood , close to the beach and this place was very close to us . Checked google reviews and dropped in for an early morning breakfast . It was a weekday and hence we could get seated quickly. Lots of seats inside and outside to dine in. Good service : the guy was very helpful and quickly seated us . Parking could be a problem in peak hours .. price was ok . Not too expensive . Let me start with coffee :(. For me , a whole breakfast is - coffee plus breakfast .. . Coffee really kick starts the morning for me and it was a little disappointing that they still have the old Pot style coffee .. it was watery and I didn't feel the completeness in the breakfast .. tea was also a old styled dip tea ! Moving onto breakfast .. it was just super awesomeeeeeeee.. we ordered some omlettes and it was just fantastic ! 3 of us were able to eat one omlette .. it was so good quantity wise .. they also gave tator tots and bread with it . Sumptuous ! Bagel with cream cheese / butter was good . We loved the breakfast . Could have given 5 stars if they upgraded their coffee machines , and buy an espresso machine :) 4 stars

    Country Omelette

    Came to have breakfast with my husband & daughter. Extremely friendly staff! We were sat immediately and no wait even though the dining room was packed. The food was delicious. I had the Florentine Eggs Benedict, my husband had the Country Omelette, and my daughter had the Silver Dollar Pancakes. Everything came out quick. Great service from start to finish!

    9/16/2023 Clean and very friendly!! We had just finally gotten into beautiful wildwood crest and The Jellyfish Cafe came highly recommended by a friend who has a gorgeous place at The Grande! She's been such a great resource to me letting me know of places to try and what is open after Labor Dsy! Christine waited on us and she was friendly and efficient. I went with her recommendation of eggs Benedict which was fantastic! I opted for tots instead of traditional home fries- ahhh crispy hot and oh sooo good!! The fresh fruit cup came with it and it had apple, watermelon, grapes, cantaloupe, kiwi, strawberries and fresh pineapple. They are open from 8am- 2 Friday-Saturday-Sunday. Th close Columbus Day weekend (yes I said it "Columbus Day") The owners granddaughter, Julianna was so sweet checking on guests and offering coffee refills. She was a delight. I purchased a shirt because I loved the day glow yellow color. I highly recommend this family run, well established business.

    We were in the area for Memorial Day weekend and wanted to try this place since they had so many great reviews online. And boy, they were right! It was only a 15-minute walk from our hotel, and when we arrived, there was no wait at all, despite it being packed. We were also greeted by a very friendly gentleman at the front desk (I believe it was the manager/owner). Actually, all of the staff we met there were like that and helpful as well. The man also thoughtfully offered our youngest an Etch-A-Sketch to play with while there. To his delight, he was able to draw a jellyfish and share his creation with the friendly man when we were on our way outside after our meal. As for the food, they were all very delicious. The pancakes were nice and light, and the bacon and sausages, cooked well. I also tried their Creamed Chopped Beef on Toast and Tater Tots which I enjoyed as well. The place was also nice and sunny, and had a warm, family-like vibe. We highly recommend this place if you're in the neighborhood. Try to get there early if you're planning to have breakfast or brunch because it will get crowded. But you will not be disappointed. We hope to come back next time.

    Coffee was instantly delivered, great omelettes, buttery, fluffy chocolate chip pancakes, delicious crispy tots, and the special apple fritter French toast was delicious. Waited about 30 min to get in--10:30am on a Sunday. Highly recommend!

    Chicken Sandwich & Salmon Caesar Salaf
    Maria J.

    I don't even know where to start with this review. There is so many positives to relay! I had never been to this establishment but found it by googling. I then called to inquire about their wait time since it was Sunday at 11:30am. The man who answered the phone (who I later found out was part owner) was super friendly. Although they were busy he took the time to say it wouldn't be a long wait for a party of two. He also offered to take our name & put us on the wait list since we were 5 minutes away. I hadn't even asked about call ahead seating...great business sense & kind! When we arrived we were given a buzzer. We had time to look around & see the cool, coastal decor. We also observed the coordinated & efficient efforts of seating parties. A party in need of a high chair was seated at end of the booths so as not to obscure the aisle. A family with a baby stroller was given a large table so the stroller could be placed beside it in place of a chair. Not only efficient but thoughtful seating. On that same note, the hostess offered a etch-a-sketch to ever child being seated. I felt that was a unique & practical touch. Once seated we were greeted by a very friendly waitress, Irene, who took our drink order. She promptly returned with our drinks & told us to take our time as the menu was new to us. The menu had several homemade items like meatballs, Caesar dressing, coleslaw, etc. We saw plates coming out of the kitchen that looked delicious & had generous serving sizes. I opted for the salmon Caesar salad & my husband got the chicken sandwich. My salad was fresh, the dressing was unmistakably homemade (bite of anchovy & lots quality cheese bits - see photo) & the salmon was smoking hot. The dressing tasted divine (I have a pet peeve about ordering entree Caesar's & merely getting bottled dressings.) & the salmon was well cooked & tasty. The chicken sandwich had two filets, fresh roll, tasty slaw, whole pickle & generous serving of french fries. They also have fresh brewed ice tea which is a staple of mine. Refills were included (not always a given anymore) & our waitress provided attentive replenishments. I was able to speak with the gentleman who answered the phone. I discovered the other owners are his dad & uncle. His uncle was cooking in the kitchen. His dad was walking around chatting with customers, too cute! The staff was either family like a bus boy who was the son of a cousin or waitresses that had been with them forever (& considered family). How lovely to see a family operation making a go of a business. It also explains the conscious, hard working, coordinated efforts in my opinion. I complimented him on how everyone was hustling & attentive. We watched the bus boys orchestrate the clearing of tables, one wiping tables down while the other placed table settings. We also observed the cousin's son stop to pick up a stray utensil & straw wrapper he took time to notice on the floor. Totally explains why the place, although in midst of Sunday rush, was clean & orderly. We cannot wait to return & have already picked out our next selections, lol. Give The Jellyfish Cafe a try, support family cooperation & enjoy fresh, delicious entrees. The only negative is they are only open in season (Mother's Day - late September/early October). That's understandable though considering the dad & uncle are Snowbirds.

    no. There is outdoor seating, so I would ask if you can bring the dog if you sit outside.
