15 Best Cafes near Surf City

“Pompano Beach HYB was our go to every morning on vacation. Smiling staff knew our name and our order every day. Yummy coffee, too! Highly recommend.“

“This cafe serves a nice breakfast and portions are huge. I wish they could get the orders right, though. Yesterday a sandwich was missing, today the avocado which is addn'l $2.50 was missing. Sheesh!“

“I have absolutely loved everything!!“

“Been coming here for a while and its a good breakfast place if you get tired of your staple places. Sat right away. Took some asks to get a water but was still taken care of. Some flies but thankfully they have those electric fans to help if they are bad. All around good meal and service.“

“I got the cinnamon butter toast with fruit and it was great other than the random flavor of onion in parts of it. I think maybe the same knife was used after an onion to cut the banana in my meal. It’s not the end of the world but definitely took away from how good it could have been! The same flavor of onion traveled into the fruit cup which was just banana and blueberry.“

“After driving past Barrel & Surf for the last 11 years, I finally stopped in and I’m glad I did. I kept seeing it all over my TikTok feed and felt compelled to check it out for myself.

We ordered a regular iced latte with almond milk and a vanilla iced latte with almond milk, and both were excellent, smooth, flavorful, and perfectly made. Between the great coffee, friendly service, and laid-back beach-town vibe, I can see why people keep talking about it. Safe to say I won’t wait another 11 years before coming back.☕“

“What a gem on LBI! Great establishment! Awesome food! The staff are a bunch of hard working fun folks! Stop in for a latte, lunch or dinner. You will not be disappointed!! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟“

“Excellent place! It’s not just delicious there but so homey and friendly!! Can’t give it enough points! Every once in awhile they come up with something so different and one of a kind. Example they made French toast into a shell Love their food PS I honestly don’t know the owners“

“Great location near the bay - easy to bike to with bike racks out front. Great bakery items - we had the vanilla waffle and the chocolate croissant. Delicious! Great latte. Very nice people working there. No seating inside but good benches outside. Was a great spot to get your caffeine fix!“

“I had my first visit to Birdy’s two years ago and became a fan on day one. The atmosphere is tranquil, something I savor, and the food is delicious. The avocado toast is a star, the lobster roll is filled with large pieces of lobster and the fresh lemonade hits the mark. My favorite is the BLT on sour dough bread- simple perfection. I have introduced Birdy’s to my daughters and we consider it our “go to” for a “ladies only “ brunch.“

“Have tried a few coffee places in town and to date this was my favorite, went with a boring no flavor iced latte but on this warm day it really hit the spot. Coffee was smooth and refreshing, service was great and there was little to no wait. I'm coming back for another cup tomorrow before we leave!“

“The cashier Briana was extremely friendly and the Pepperoni melt and French Onion Soup were absolutely delicious.Will definitely be back again.“

“Awesome service and great breakfast ! The newest sleeper place to eat in Beach Haven.“

“Great little breakfast spot on LBi. Looking for bagels, sandwiches or just coffee,hot or cold this is your spot. Lots of parking and a young friendly staff.“

“Tried this place today for the first time! Can not wait to go back. Pork roll egg and cheese on a gutted toasted habañero bagel! Didn’t expect much spice from the bagel but it was pleasantly spicy and perfectly toasted. I wish I understood how people can leave such negative reviews from a place that is obviously doing their best. And their best is good enough for me!! Can not wait to go back and try more of their delicious items. Priced right and very delicious! They even had a french toast bagel which my date was very happy to see, as not all bagel places have them. Would give six stars if possible. And the NE clam chowder was DEE-lish!!!!!“
