Crusader Coffee Shop

This little place was great! We stumbled across it on our morning walk after a questionable hotel stay elsewhere— totally changed our trip!

Would you look at that bowl? And the portions were great as well. Flavors were outstanding— even the home fries, which I usually find to be bland at most restaurants, were packed with flavor!

You’ll see us again next year!

I’ve been coming here for at least 6 years. On my most recent stay this summer, the food was delicious, coffee is the best on this side of town, and prices are fair. The French toast is incredible and the head chef is super consistent with taste and quality of food. Would recommend!

2.8/5
I remember when the original owners ran this place; it was the quintessential Americano diner, often with a line snaking out the door, full of eager customers. Since they left, something vital seems to have vanished. The interior now feels stark and uninviting, stripped of its former charm, and I'm not quite sure who the current owners are—perhaps Polish or French? Regardless, the menu has undergone a striking transformation, leaning towards a unique and somewhat eccentric culinary direction. Overall, I am ambivalent about the food; it doesn’t quite capture the nostalgia I once felt. However, I must admit that the prices are quite reasonable, which is a small consolation. except for the almost 4 dollar cup of coffee.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Crusader Coffee Shop in Wildwood, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm smiles and an inviting atmosphere.

Our server, Sofi, truly elevated our visit. She was exceptionally attentive, making sure all our needs were met with genuine care and efficiency. Her friendly demeanor and accommodating nature made us feel right at home, enhancing the overall dining experience.

The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Each dish was a delightful treat, showcasing the quality and passion the kitchen puts into every plate. Plus, the service was impressively quick, ensuring we didn’t have to wait long to enjoy our meals.

Crusader Coffee Shop is a gem in Wildwood, offering not just great food but also exceptional service. A special shout-out to Sofi for making our visit memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!

My husband and I had the best breakfast and coffee we have had in a long time ! Can’t wait to go back!

Right across the street from the beach near walking and biking paths. Great food and coffee.

Good coffee, great price! Super cute spot.

It's great for breakfast!

Ordered breakfast for our family of 4 at the take out window to enjoy outside at the picnic tables. Once I got my latte I noticed the milk was separating and there were “chunks” floating around. We quietly brought it up to the person working at the window since it was crowded outside and we didn’t want to cause a scene. We asked if it’s possible that the oat milk is expired or if it typically looks like this. A man came to the window and slammed the carton of oat milk on the counter and said “it’s still good, expires February 2025”. I really hope they understand that’s the date if unopened but anyway we were kind the entire time but they refused to remake the latte or hear us out. Honestly the rest of the food was mediocre especially considering the price but it’s the staff’s attitude that is worse. I’d recommend having breakfast somewhere else, there are tons of other spots where managers don’t have explosive outbursts.

I’m going to be honest .. I have lived in the Jersey shore for 37 years. I live here in the summer and I’m in Florida in the winter when I tell you that this coffee joint here has the freshest bagels the fastest service oceanfront I met a gentleman name, Alex I found his service extremely efficient. He came out and greeted me and a few seconds later. I had everything for breakfast, there is many places at this place sit on the ocean and have your breakfast…
