As a local I was excited to finally try this place. Stood at the window (with the open sign on) for a very long time with my baby in a stroller. Staff smiled at my baby but otherwise didn’t say a word and I was never helped. My biggest issue is that staff didn’t take one second to say either “be right with you” or “this window is closed please come inside and order” because I would have been happy to, even with a stroller. Waited 5+ minutes to give them some grace (was the only one at the window). Left empty handed and disappointed.

This may be the worst coffee as a local I’ve had in ocean city. Both the cold brew and iced latte were horrible tasting. The latte was just milk. The service was cold and a bit rude. It was also 100* inside nobody could even stay in there to eat. Had to throw our drinks out. Regret trying a new place for sure

Best latte in OCNJ!

Nice while at the Shore to have an organic option regarding coffee drinks! Will be back!

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!

THIS is your sign to stop at this sweet spot. We have serious food allergies, and the team was accommodating & helpful in creating beverages we could enjoy. Whole food organic ingredients - LOVE it! I got a latte with organic coconut milk and maple syrup while my husband enjoyed his Americano. Thank you Linda & team for such an awesome spot to stop on our weekend in town!

This is now my favorite place to hang out, meet new friends and have real conversations with them, play my guitar out front, the whole deal. This is the perfect coffee shop. ...The only problem is that I never get any work done because I'm always having too much fun talking with someone I met here. The staff and the customers are all delightful people.
Vegetarian options: It's so vegetarian that I tried to eat here and there was literally no man-food on the menu. But the owner and her barista girl Ally are so sweet that I couldn't leave, so I ate this banana whip thing (kind of a banana sorbet?) with berries, granola, and nutella and it was awesome. Kind of a lot of sugar for me, though, and I'd have liked more protein. I wish they could have just given me the same thing but with greek yogurt instead of the banana whip stuff.
Excellent Organic Coffee! Organic Bowl! Eat it there and get it in a coconut... All Organic, we love it.

This place reminds me of Southern California Cafes I’ve been to. Absolutely delicious organic cold brew coffee and smoothies with organic fruit.

The best banana whips and smoothie bowls! Love that the fruit is organic. The homemade plant based milks are soo delicious in their lattes…my fave is the brown sugar latte (they make their own syrups, too)! Yummy gluten free/vegan pastries. All in all, it’s our fave beachy spot to hang out on weekend mornings, all year round! Friendly and kind staff makes it extra fun? the best spot in OCNJ.

Swell cafe is a gem in OCNJ. The owner Lina is the sweetest person you will ever meet. She cares so much about her customers.
My favorite item on the menu is the banana whip. We also love the lattes with the homemade cashew milk.
