I LOVE EFFIE'S!!!
the food at Effie's is phenomenal. Everything is delicious even stuff I never thought I liked.
Like avocado toast. It was amazing & healthy. Our server's name was Kim♡ What a wonderful woman. It was just like eating in your grandma 's kitchen.
Small practically hidden place in the Wildwood Crest. Right across the street from the beach. Well-worth the visit. Effie cares about her customers.

Clean and a sweet little cafe! The food is spectacular and something for everyone. Pork Belly Hash and Eggs Benedict are crowd pleasers for my family. We met Effie (owner and chef) and she is full of smiles and kindness. Definitely our go to place for breakfast and lunch!!!

We had the pleasure of visiting Effie’s Buttercup Restaurant twice over the weekend, and both visits were wonderful! The food was delicious, the service was quick, and everyone we met was so kind. It’s a charming little spot, perfect for breakfast, and conveniently located just around the corner from where we were staying. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a friendly, tasty start to their day!
