Was at the beach this weekend and took a 15 min drive from Sea Isle to this place. It was worth it. Had a wonderful breakfast and will defiantly be returning to. Actually, our relatives went there today based on our recommendation! Keep up the great work and we will see you the next time we are down! read more

Always consistent! Their soups are amazing! The tuna melt is my go to! It's so stinking yummy! I look forward to it all winter! Service is amazing! It's like going to your family's house for lunch! So friendly! read more

Best breakfast spot in Upper Township in my opinion, and maybe better than anything in Ocean City! Great staff, super consistent food, and the menu always has fresh options for those of us who aren't just creatures of habit. read more

This place was great! I loved their grilled sticky bun, I have never had one before and it was 100% worth it. It one less culinary regret I would have if I died. I had the chipped beef with country toast and it was delicious. There wasn't a single scrap left on my plate. After eating their chipped beef I feel like I need more of it in my life. The service here was pretty good. the waitress was nice and we were seated pretty promptly especially considering we came at a pretty busy time. read more

Love the place. Food is great always fresh and delicious. Food comes out quickly and i am always seated as soon as a sets it avalible

This was a great brunch spot. It was kind of randomly located and the restaurant itself was a bit packed, but the food was really good and and they had great options! I ordered an egg-white omelette and it was loaded with veggies. I had no problems substituting the home fries for waffle fries, which I thoroughly enjoyed because they were perfectly crisped. We also shared a stack of blueberry pancakes for the table, and the pancakes were pretty good. Our waitress was nice, attentive, and the service was fast. They offer lunch as well, and we ordered a sandwich to go for my boyfriend's brother, and he said it was really good. Overall, we would recommend Village Kitchen! read more

Village Kitchen - Egg-white Village Veggie Omelette with whole wheat toast and waffle fries, and blueberry pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marmora, New Jersey

Cash only I am staying in Ocean City and this is only about a 6 minute drive from where I am staying. I ordered a French Onion burger and a chicken Italiano ciabatta. Both sandwiches tasted really fresh with great flavor. My husband liked it so much we decided to get breakfast there a couple days later and sure enough they did not disappoint. I ordered the village scramble bowl (country version). There are 3 different types of bowls that are not listed on their website menu. They have tex-mex( sausage, hot peppers, and cheddar cheese), country( ham, onions, peppers, American cheese), American ( bacon , tomato, & Swiss cheese) . Only complaint is they should wrap up the toast for the village bowls so the steam in the container doesn't make it soggy. My husband ordered the Caramel French toast and he said it is one of the top French toast he has ever had. We are here for another week and we may have to make a third visit. read more

Great place for breakfast, we went during the week so we got seated right away, lots of parking available

Great little spot for breakfast at the shore! Will definitely be back...great menu, decent prices, casual atmosphere.

Have been here a few times and not had anything that was not excellent. Soups are delish and have specials daily. The country hash bowl is made with their own corn beef hash and chipped beef recipe. Sandwiches for lunch are used with fresh ingredients and full of flavor! They don't accept credit cards but have an ATM. read more

Between the service and the food, this place is my new favorite when I'm on vacation in OCNJ. The Caprese ciabatta is so fresh and flavorful. My sister got the turkey burger and the jalapeño mayo was so good we dipped our fries in it. The orzo soup was delicious and I saw them package a few pints to go while we were eating. If we weren't leaving to go home I would've gotten some as well. The servers were super friendly and attentive. This will be our first stop when we come back next year! read more

The staff there is super kind! Very fast service & an adorable little breakfast spot right outside of town.

The food is delicious and great quality, the service is fantastic, love all the girls there, this is my cheers. Great ambiance and it's like the local neighborhood hang out. My favorite spot in upper township. read more

The food is wholesome, well prepared, delicious and service is good! Good service and a friendly atmosphere.

Small little place but the food is great. Very fresh ingredients! Super quick service! So far I've had their breakfasts, soup and burgers. Best around. Hands down! read more

Have been customers here for years. It's always been a good spot to go. It's been getting popular over the past few years so it is always busy these days. We make it a point now to only go during the off-season to avoid the crowds. The food is very good! The staff is friendly and the coffee keeps on coming. I like to sit at the counter and read the house newspaper. The Country Village Scramble Bowl it's really, really good! Cash Only read more

Such a sweet little cafe. The food is always great. The staff is so nice! They always take care of my elderly parents who go every weekend during the spring and summer. Great little brunch spot off the beaten track. read more

This was such an adorable little cafe service breakfast, lunch, and several homemade soup options. The waitresses were extremely friendly and cheerful, with great senses of humor. The people who came in to have brunch seemed like locals and regulars of the restaurant. They served breakfast until noon, with an hour lunch and breakfast overlap, so there were several options for brunch! I decided on the Florentine omelette with spinach, Swiss cheese, and hollandaise sauce. It had the perfect amount of spinach and cheese on the outside with the rich sauce poured over the top. I've never had an omelette like this one and was very pleased with my choice. It came with home fries that were pretty tasty as well! There was an option for two slices of toast on the side for no extra charge, making the breakfasts pretty large portions. I was filled up from my meal and couldn't even finish the toast. The restaurant is cash only so that might be inconvenient for some, but it is well worth it! The soups sounded amazing and I would definitely be willing to try them out. I will keep this place in mind for brunch the next time I'm in town! read more

I've lived 10 minutes from here and had no idea this place existed!- we will definitely be back! We ordered the sweet potato and sausage gravy special & it was out of this world! The bacon was also cooked to perfection!! All the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. I don't have a bad thing to say. When we left we said, "This'll be our new go-to". Can't wait to try out all the other meals. read more

I used to live right around the corner from this place and would come for breakfast and/or lunch all the time! Great food, nice staff, perfect spot to come and avoid the tourist headache of ocean city right over the bridge! read more

Always the best breakfast. Never disappointed. Pleasant staff and a great menu....especially the homemade soups.

Amazing food. Village bowls were delicious, burgers were incredible and the chunky monkey pancakes will not disappoint. This will be our go to place when we are in Ocean City. I read a previous review and they called this a little hidden gem.. truly is!!! So happy we went by the awesome reviews and tried out Village Kitchen. The service was great too. read more

They serve a delicious breakfast and lunch. They also offer daily specials. The breakfast bowl is one of my favorites and if you desire to add a little something more to it... all you need to do is ask. Coffee is fresh and the orange juice tasty. I find the staff to be attentive to refills and there if you need guidance in making selections. It can be busy, so get there early or you may need to have patience. It is a small and quaint place to enjoy food and friends. read more

Never disappointed with a meal at Village Kitchen, love the 1/2 sandwich and a cup of soup lunch offers, and my go to breakfast, it's a toss up between creamed chipped beef or the Farmer's omelet, be sure and get country toast no matter what you order! read more

An absolute must visit breakfast/lunch adorable place!! Not only will you have amazing fun food, but you will love the staff and the decor is uber chic! Super clean bathrooms, too! Love love love it! And they even had fresh flowers on each table! read more

See all

I never got a bad meal there. Great service. Eggs Benedict the best. Get there early on the weekend it gets crowded

I don't like giving 5 stars because I always think there's ways to improve, but this place... this place is a gem. I had previously only had take-out but after eating in several times, on and off season, this place has been consistently good. Wait staff is incredibly pleasant, whether they are empty or slammed. Food is consistent and delicious regardless of time of day or year you're visiting. Clean as a whistle and we'll decorated. They are cash only, and I am hesitant to give them that 5th star just from a convenience standpoint, but their food and service is just so phenomenal that I can't do it! (Plus there is an ATM on site and a surcharge-free ATM at the Wawa down the street). Whether it's dining in or take out, get their food in your mouth! read more

I was thoroughly delighted with our visit there. The food was tasty - nothing fancy but very enjoyable. The service was good and friendly. It was a meeting spot for a group of friends coming from different directions. We will return read more

Food was delicious! Small place but has great service. We have only done breakfast so far. Can't wait to try lunch there!

My favorite breakfast spot in Jersey. All of the waitresses have been there for years and are all super sweet! The food is always fresh and delivered fast. They're keeping up well with COVID safety precautions! I would highly recommend! read more

What a great find. Tucked away in a very small strip center. While small they have s big breakfast and lunch menu. Crispy caramel french toast has moved up to the number one spot on wifes list. Turkey paninni with roast red peppers as good as any I have had. Best of all is the wait staff. Really make you feel welcome. Would love to keep it a secret but that wouldn't be fair. read more

Wonderful brunch and good service. Great homemade iced tea. We were stuck in holiday traffic and needed to stop. Perfect choice. Fresh food. Good service. Excellent simple ambiance. Clean. And good working. Would definitely come back. Terrific. read more

Down in Marmora for the weekend and went here for breakfast both morning. Went on Saturday and the food was so solid for the area I had to go back again on Sunday. The wait staff always has a smile on their face. Always quick to keep your coffee cup full and check in on you. I had an omelet both mornings and they were both very solid. Nice and fluffy, not over stuff but definitely filling. The home fries are real potatoes that you can tell they prep in house. They aren't greasy at all which is a nice touch. I had the scrapple too but it wasn't the best I've ever had, a bit dry. And if you don't like a lot of butter on your toast make sure you ask for it on the side because they certainly aren't shy with the spread. If you are in the area and looking for a place for a quick bite to eat for breakfast or lunch I would recommend you check out the Village Kitchen. read more

Traffic was terrible on a Saturday. We quickly looked for a place to eat around noon and found Village Kitchen on Yelp. We had a late breakfast and it was excellent. The eggs Benedict and creamed chip beef was really good. I highly recommend this place. read more

Just my absolute favorite!!! Have been going here for years. Staff is awesome and food is always consistent. They offer great specials and homemade soups. The chicken salad is my favorite! read more

Sausage, egg and cheese sandwich rocks. Ate here almost everyday while staying in Upper Township. Cash only (circa 1995), which kinda sucks if you forget. Service is usually good, unless there's a lot of small town gossip to cover, then you'll have to wait. read more
