*A quick walk from the house. Our favorite for breakfast (try the specialty pancakes or eggs benedict with crab). Outdoor seating & take-out are available. Gets crowded fast, so get there early. A strong choice for casual lunch & dinner.

Aversa’s Bakery

3101 Atlantic-Brigantine Blvd, Brigantine  609.264.8880


*Great for pastries, bread, basic Italian groceries, & prepared foods. Get there early for the best selection. Prepared breakfast sandwiches are quick & easy (especially when Yanni’s Cafe or Pirates Den are busy). Also, bring home some dinner food so you don’t have to cook!

Yianni's Café

*New this summer! Yummy frozen fruit bowls with a variety of toppings.

Soulberri Coffee + Smoothies

1106 W Brigantine Ave, Brigantine 

*The line starts early for their coffee. I love their hot tea along with a “soul bowl” -topped with homemade granola, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, & local raw honey (my kind of breakfast before hitting the waves). Some outside seating is shared with Crab Shack.
