I discovered this charming little spot on Instagram, and since I was staying in the area, I figured I would check them out. I have visited Point Pleasant so many times in the past 10+ years, and it amazes me that I have never heard of this place before….and I am kicking myself for not coming here sooner.
This place and everything about it is totally awesome. The service I have received from the young waitstaff was kind, courteous, and attentive, and the food here is great. Word to the wise..they open at 7:30am so I suggest if you want a table for either inside or out, you need to get here as early as possible as tables go super fast. For the three days I was in Point Pleasant, I made it a point to arrive prior to them opening.
For being a small place they have a good size menu and the prices are very reasonable. They also have a cute little shop with good gift ideas and changing stations.
This is one of the best eateries in the area, and I will definitely come back the next time I am in Point Pleasant.

My family and I loved having breakfast here. We came here 2 days in a row.
We all liked the fact that there was something for everyone. From a toddler to us grandparents and in between.
I built my omelet, had my home fries, and while wheat toast with marmalade. Fruit cups for the kids, avocado toast for my daughter. Everything was PERFECT both days.
Our servers (David and Madison) were EXCELLENT! I’m picky with certain things, and both handled my needs to a “tea”.

Great spot right on the boardwalk in Point, paid parking right behind the restaurant or free street parking all over. Scan the QR code and prepare for a wait. Both indoor and outdoor seating as well as some counter space. Owner and staff are incredible friendly and we were sat pretty quick for a Sunday morning. Menu has all the staples and reasonable prices. The Mueller’s Tiffany Raisin Bread is top notch (highly recommend). Eggs were perfectly over easy and the home fries were killer. Perfect with a nice cold Port Coffee Cold Brew. Will definitely be back to try more

Our FAVORITE breakfast spot. We’re here at least once a week from the day they open till the day they close – every year. Gotta soak up the goodness while we can. Every single thing on the menu is delicious! The atmosphere couldn’t be better and the staff is the best. A little slice of heaven on earth.

My wife first came here with a friend for breakfast. She told me they had the best breakfast home fries she’s ever had. She was right. We went together and had breakfast there. We had the Cali breakfast bowl. Consisting of home fries, poached eggs, crumbled bacon and fresh avocados.
The poached were a little overcooked but the dish was still excellent.
It’s a small restaurant, and sometimes a short wait to be seated, but well worth it.
The boardwalk is right behind the restaurant and offers large windows and doors to enjoy the breeze coming off the ocean. There is seating both indoors and outdoors.
Prices are reasonable, service is fast and friendly. A great way and place to have a relaxful meal.

This place is definitely charming, the food was delicious and placed so nicely on the plates, not just plopped on, and I love how they make it pleasing to the eye.
I’ve been to Point Pleasant MANY times and never knew this place existed, and I wish I had known beforehand. I will definitely be going back when I visit.
The outdoor chairs have to be the most comfortable chairs EVER!
