11 Best Coffee Shops in Ocean City

“My family loves Readys food and comfy atmosphere“

“Goji in Ocean City isn’t the sort of place you stumble into looking for irony. It’s not the faded neon fried-dough joint, not the screaming boardwalk pizza stand. It’s something rarer—a quiet act of rebellion.

The açai bowls here aren’t health food in the sanctimonious sense. They’re a revelation. Cold, velvety purple fruit that doesn’t taste like compromise, piled high with bananas, berries, coconut, a drizzle of honey that feels almost illicit. It’s indulgence disguised as virtue, or maybe the other way around. A bowl you dig into with a plastic spoon, and suddenly you’re wide awake, sunburned, grinning, alive.

And the coffee—Christ, the coffee. In a town where “iced coffee” usually means burned diner drip poured over a plastic cup of cubes, Goji takes it seriously. Strong, dark, bitter in the right way, the kind of cup that cuts through the salt air and the sugar fog of the boardwalk. It’s coffee that respects you, that wakes you up without apology.

Together, the bowls and the coffee feel almost subversive in Ocean City. A one-two punch of clarity and pleasure in a place addicted to corn syrup and fryer oil. You leave Goji not weighed down, but lifted up, ready to walk the beach, watch the gulls, maybe even believe for a second that boardwalk towns can evolve.

Goji isn’t a trend. It’s proof that even amid the carnival chaos, someone still gives a damn about flavor, about quality, about doing things right. And that, frankly, is worth raving about.“

“Really good ice cream, large portions, seating available, bathrooms on site, off-street parking is free (but limited, of course). Not cheap, but what is? Workers are chill. A few blocks from the beach and boardwalk—no seagulls! The wait is worth it. Wish they opened a little earlier in the day, when it’s really hot. Also, a flavor board at the back of the line would be nice.“

“The coffee is great and the staff are friendly and helpful. Started every day of my recent vacation with a cup of coffee from OCC“

“I have eaten here twice. Once was in the fall, and now today, right before Christmas. The ambiance is the most charming! I loved it as soon as I walked in. Some places that are adorned aren’t kept very tidy. Jon & Patty’s is VERY clean! Never do you worry about dust or debris. The coffee and apple cider are AMAZING! You will miss out if you don’t treat yourself to one of them. I personally suggest the cider. I normally NEVER get cider anywhere… but this cider is next level! The food is fantastic… definitely try the nutty chicken salad and the sweet potato fries. Jon and Patty’s is sure to please!“

“Literally had the best smoothie ever. It’s called Peanut Butter Lovesicle and it’s the freaking bomb. I’ll be stopping there on my Monday and Tuesday walks on the boardwalk �“

“Scones are delicious. The staff is not friendly. A good morning and a thank you goes a long way. I was there on Wednesday 9/11 at 9 AM and I’m referring to the young lady at the register.“

“My first visit, don't know how I didn't know about this place! Adorable! great coffee (from someone who drinks it plain black, that's really a compliment!) Plus gluten-free fresh backed goods and other gluten-free and vegan options for food and drinks! Quiet, quaint, Sunny, and lovely young woman working there. A hidden treasure!“

“I love this place because all the food tastes delicious 😋“

“Highly recommended. Must go to for yoga and coffee, gf and vegan goodies. Amazing atmosphere and people. Have to check it out.“

“I go to this Starbucks year round and today (day after Fourth of July) I did a mobile order and almost fell outta my seat when it said it would be 30 mins for a cold brew. After googling it and realizing I couldn’t cancel the order, I settled in to the back of the crowd to wait for my coffee. Place was packed. And ya know what? These workers were hustling! They were bobbing and weaving and getting these drinks and orders out. They all did a great job and ya know what, my drink came out a minute earlier than it was estimated. Well worth me being ten mins late to work. Great job!“
