18 Best Cafes near Avalon

“The best lattes and sun buns on the south jersey shore!“

“At first I was skeptical. Any time I see a smaller aged establishment I go in with mild expectations. Everything was great though. The bacon egg and cheese was great. They made the bacon just how I like it. Close to well done but not quite. The waffles the pancakes all great. Breakfast is my favorite meal and I hate risking it on places like this, because sometimes the are a big miss. This place on the other hand was a pleasant surprise and made me think to my self, maybe I need to be more open minded. Try this place you won't be disappointed.“

“My family and I have stayed here two years in a row and feel like this will be our go-to spot for a while! They are a block and a half away from the beach which is GREAT, especially with kids and beach items. Both years, we were accommodated to have first floor rooms to make it easier with the kids. There is a pool, sun deck, and even a little breakfast & lunch restaurant attached for easy meals.

They are clean and don’t smell like other musty motels along the shore!

Rooms: We had two beds, ample space and they were newly painted.

Nearby activities: It is 2 blocks from the beach! You can easily walk there And a few blocks (from a fishing and boating dock by car.

Walkability: There are sidewalks everywhere and people walk to the beach with ease from this location. We have two cafes we like that are nearby and easy to walk to as well.

Food and drinks: There is a small restaurant for breakfast and lunch on the property. Other little cafes are walking distance about two blocks!“
