Wanted to check back in gave it a couple more tries since it's located in one of my favorite places. I think they may have been going through something. I'm back to getting ice tea almost daily and they must have fixed how they are making it. No more coffee taste and the staff is beyond pleasant. Greatest atmosphere by location step outside you're on the great lawn with plenty of rocking chairs. The pastries are phenomenal too my face the dbl chocolate muffin plus the brownie is a show stopper too read more

Black coffee was watered down and they added way too much ice - plenty of outdoor seating

Coffee is still good. But the pastries we got were stale. Definitely not freshly made.

Quaint little coffee shop in Congress Hall! Highly recommend the cappuccino! Start your Cape May walk off here when you come into town.

Two people working extremely confused, not understanding orders. Every order i saw was wrong, including mine. The couple next to me also ordered oat milk for an allergy and they received regular milk. After lots of mess ups and an insanely long wait, the drink was mediocre. We threw them away and went somewhere else. Stay away. read more

Why is service always, always so slow? There were 3 staff members behind the counter and yet I waited in a line again for coffee. Can a self serve, self pay option be avilable for a simple coffee? read more

One person working on a busy holiday Saturday Americana coffee tasted like water Never go there again read more

This coffee shop is cute and has very tasty fresh brewed iced tea and hot coffees. I wish they had more vegan food options but what they do have is good. They also have a drink card after 10 drinks you can get one free. The staff are always very friendly too. read more

Over priced coffee. I would suggest going to the stand alone location next to Congress hall. The coffee was mid at best.

Came here on the evening of the Christmas parade and was able to get spiked hot chocolates with double shots of alcohol! That alone is worth a five star review. Friendly staff and good vibes. read more

Coffee here is delicious. Beautiful modern cafe right by the beach. Be sure to check out the Bar & Lounge and the "Brown room@ for live music and some drinks! read more

Tommy's Folly - Lounge area at the cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

A yearly tradition with friends to Cape May for the weekend to enjoy their amazing Holiday Parade- 8 families, 20 children, and 16 adults Lots of fun, memories, and laughs all weekend and Cape May creates the most perfect location for just that ! Parade goers start the night before on Friday night lining the edges of the streets with their chairs, blankets, caution tape etc to secure a good spot along the parade route. This year with the rain, we decided to go out the day of around 10:30/11am to get some space for the children to enjoy! We found a perfect strip along the end cap of the infamous shopping mall, along the curb, set aside from the corner and cross walk! 3 of us moms ventured out in the rain to lay our bag wrapped chairs This is when the wildest thing happened. This store owner opened her doors and very clearly did not want us laying chairs along the curb outside her store front- with "It's a little early to be setting up" (chairs literally lined the parade route already with few empty spaces left) and ended with "I hope no one takes your chairs!" Feeling very uncomfortable we drove down a bit and turned around. Lo and behold we witnessed this man moving our chairs to where they saw fit. We had to drive back to collect our chairs as we did not trust these people. HORRIBLE people and HORRIBLE business owners. They could have had 8 families giving them business tonight during the parade but instead due to their negativity and poor attitudes, they will not. We are hoping this reaches others so they know the type of people that own and operate this store! As I told them to their face, They should be ashamed of taking these seats away from children. Very sad and disappointed!! read more

Cute place. Don't order soup. It won't be hot. And if you ask them to reheat it they stick the container in a pot of warm water, let it sit for a few minutes, then pour the soup into a new cardboard container and it still isn't hot. Or warm. The hot cider is good. read more

Cute little cafe inside Congress Hall, with good selection of cafe food items and a full coffee bar. They have really unique latte flavors, like mint chocolate chip and blueberry muffin. Neat place worth checking out! read more

Tommy's Folly - Menu (September 2018) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

See all

Best Coffee Shop in CM! Excellent coffee selection and service. Cannot wait to go back! The experience is even better on one of their rockers outside, as the resort comes alive. read more

Very adorable and friendly cafe in the hotel. I ordered the "iced tea" which was great and my best friend ordered the "Iced Nutty Cappuccino " which he quite enjoyedf. They also have cute souvenirs... I got a cute Cape May coasters and a blue pig magnet! Oink oink! read more

In the Congress hall hotel, nice coffe shop with pastries and candies. The coffe selections are good with always some specials. They open at 630 so it's very convenient when your on a working vacation. read more

Coffee tasted very burnt, latte's had A LOT of milk and were. Dry, very sweet. This was not our favorite coffee place at the shore. Would only recommend if other options are not available. read more

Cute little coffee bar setup in the same room as the Congress Hall gift shop. Their menu looks like they have the capability of making quite a few coffee concoctions, but on my visit I was looking for something a little more refreshing and went with a raspberry iced tea. They have a variety of premade sandwiches that looked delicious and a grab-and-go fridge with everything from muesli and yogurt to hard boiled eggs and coconut water if you're looking for something to munch on either on the rocking chairs of the veranda or just a bit further down on the beach. Definitely a nice little option for a light bite if you're staying in the hotel and don't want to commit to walking into town or eating a full meal at the tavern. read more

La Colombe coffee, fresh squeezed juices from their farm, salads, strawberries and fruit cups..heaven! And the prices here aren't entirely bad, either ($3.50 for a juice as opposed to the $7 or so that we pay in Philly). A great spot for grab and go or just chilling out on the patio. read more

The coffee, both when served hot as well as iced is excellent. Drinking it outside in the courtyard is a must...beautiful and peaceful setting. Their huge cookies are delish!!! read more

The hot chocolate was incredibly rich and creamy! It was the perfect treat between lunch and dinner to stroll around the Christmas village at Congress Hall. read more

Little coffee operation in Congress Hotel. Coffee is not bad. The patio just outside is the draw. Rocking chairs. Little tables. People watching. New Yorkers on vacation are hilarious. read more

We love Cape May and come back every year that we can, to stay at the Virginia Hotel. So sad to have had to leave today! Thought we were being savvy by picking up sandwiches at Tommy's Folly to eat on the way home. Beats the offerings at the Cheesequake rest stop, we said. However, our Tommy's Folly "to go" sandwiches were super thin and dry dry dry. Had to drink a lot of our water just to choke it down. Very disappointed. Next time we will try a fresh made sandwich from someplace else. read more

Tommy's Folly is located on the ground level of Congress Hall. It's a very small, but incredibally organized "General Store". They offer some refreshments (coffee, soda, water), some snack foods, and an assortment of clothing. Most of what they have here is pig related, or emblazoned with the Congress Hall read more
