Amazing amazing experience!! Donna our server was a doll and gave the best suggestions, though you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu! The Smokey westerner, the lavished monkey, and breakfast sandwich were all hits. Definitely will be coming back to try more!! Also can’t forget the delicious lattes. Yay!

This place is spectacular! The food and the atmosphere are impeccable. This is legit our new favorite spot whenever we’re down the shore. Definitely try the campfire French toast… 10/10 recommend and the Emotional Support Potatoes are incomparable. The lattes are perfection & Alison was a wonderful server!

What a gem!!

Great little breakfast spot. The reviews were right on point with the food. I tried the emotional support potatoes — pretty tasty, though next time I’d skip the horseradish drizzle. Sour cream would’ve been a better match. Bacon came out perfectly cooked, and my wife really liked her omelet and latte.

I went with the peach tea. It wasn’t bad, but I wish they had mentioned it was more of a light tea. The whole bottle only had about 40 grams of sugar, so it wasn’t the sweet tea I was expecting. I had asked if it was like a home-brewed sweet tea instead of a fountain tea like Brisk, so that threw me off a bit.

Overall, solid breakfast spot. I’d definitely come back if I’m in the morning.

Had a wonderful experience. Donna was an amazing patient and attentive server. It’s such a homey experience and the food is good! I was able to suggest and Add Burrata to a sandwich and it was great. We should add this to the menu with caramelized onions and call it the Chrissy Chris

Queen Bean Bistro is an absolute gem in Ventnor. From the cozy, welcoming atmosphere to the attentive service, everything about this place feels thoughtfully done.

The seared ribeye was the standout—perfectly cooked, beautifully seasoned, and incredibly tender with a rich, beefy flavor that you can tell comes from quality ingredients and skilled execution. Every bite was satisfying and comforting, yet elevated.

If you’re looking for a spot that delivers on both vibe and food, Queen Bean Bistro is a must-visit. Consistently excellent and well worth coming back for.

A delicious experience with amazing french toast, a customized bagel, and smash burger. Our server Donna was so sweet from the moment we sat down and made us feel at home. 10/10 would recommend if you’re on the beach or looking for a brunch spot.

Perfect day to sit outside and enjoy breakfast. Cute little place, with a friendly staff and efficient service. Scrambled eggs were ok, bacon was tasty but could have been a little crispier for me, but the gluten free pancakes were too die for. Make sure you pay the $1.50 extra for the blueberries in them. Loaded with fresh blueberries made them even better. The soft butter and warm syrup was a great touch. Drawback for me as someone with Celiac Disease is that even though they have gluten free bread, it’s a shared toaster. They said they clean it well but I wouldn’t recommend having toast there if you have celiac.

Would definitely go back for breakfast and their lunch and dinner menus also looked good.

Amazing vegan selection! And the care with preparation and ingredients made it phenomenal 🙂 Rosemary on the potatoes, buttery microgreens, and perfectly stewed tomatoes, as well as a perfect latte – chefs kiss.

I definitely learned today what all the “buzz” is about at The Queen Bean Bistro. I was immediately greeted with a warm “Hello,” as I was led into the restaurant, passing by a crystal chandelier whose light gleamed like the sunlit waters of the calm ocean-view I enjoyed at my table. I began with a matcha green tea latte and my server, Dori, recommended I get the “ESP” (Emotional Support Potatoes) and of course, I couldn’t resist something sweet on my birthday, so she also recommended Chef Sal’s homemade blueberry pancakes. The comforting Yukon gold potatoes with crisp bacon and the tarte sweetness of fresh blueberries in a light, airy pancake were out of this world!

I grew up on Vassar Square in Ventnor, and I hope that every single person who visits The Queen Bean Bistro, from the year-round local Ventnor natives to the “newbies” in the area, will experience the similar feelings of the Shore Summer nostalgia I had today, (after being in Europe for several months) brought on by the sounds of seagulls culling, waves crashing along the beach, GreenDay playing on the radio, and service with an infectious laugh by someone who is as wholesome as the ingredients of every thing that exits Chef Sal’s kitchen, for many, many, many, more years to come. Summer seasons come and go, but the beautiful memories of our Ventnor shore will last forever; just have a look at the black and white photographs that grace the walls of this Ventnor gem.

I cannot believe the amazing breakfast we had this morning. All I did was google best breakfast near me, and since I also wanted some good coffee, the name struck my curiosity enough to head down the BHP to try it out. This is the kind of place where you’re happy to spend your time & money because everything is prepared with such perfection.

We started with the Emotional Support Potatoes (ESP). This would have been enough so glad we shared it… but also not glad because I really could’ve eaten this whole platter myself. Wow! The horseradish sauce takes this thing to another level! Things that were supposed to be crispy were crispy yet the potatoes were perfectly soft in the middle. How do they do this? It’s so good!

We both had the smokey westerner omelet. I had it the way it came with homemade pepper jack, hubby asked for cooper sharp (arguably the best cheese ever). We both enjoyed it with the grilled slice of sourdough rye. Yummy! Even the side of fruit we opted for because we already had the ESP was fantastic!

We also tried a pumpkin pancake and a banana pancake. I mean…c’mon! Definitely could have had a full stack of both.

Our waitress suggested a scone so we chose to spilt a coconut one. Heaven!!! We tried to walk away but had to try the blueberry too… also super delicious! After this we had to be cut off otherwise we would just stay for dinner!

Overall this was a PERFECT breakfast from start to finish. Chef Sal & his wife know what they are doing & for all of our sake I hope they continue to do it for a very long time <3

We will see you again soon! Thank you!
