50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Wildwood Crest

“Highly recommend Cone Crazy for customized ice cream cakes! I needed a Beach themed cake for my cousin’s 50th birthday and they were so easy to work with. The owner Steve provided his cell# for easier communication which I really appreciated. Not only was the ice cream cake absolutely delicious, they did an amazing job with the design. My cousin was so thrilled to have a beach themed cake with her favorite ice cream flavors for her milestone birthday! If you are local to the area or visiting Wildwood ( like us) do not miss out and try their ice cream. It’s amazing!! Thank you so much Steve and staff!!! The cake was a HUGE Hit!!“

“This cafe is the best! Everyone is super friendly; the coffee, sandwiches, pastries and other food are fresh and delicious. You can grab something and sit there or take it to go. The staff will chat with you, make you feel welcomed and are always making sure you’re happy. I recommend this little place that is, luckily for me, right around the corner in Wildwood Crest. Give it a try- you’ll be back!“

“Excellent service from Athena. Really good food. Still BYOB but now have Meadowcroft wines. Very nice wine very reasonably priced.“

“We dined on Friday, 10.31.25 supporting the Cape May Restaurant Weekend. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Red Snapper Alla Plancha that was impeccably simmered in a tomato-saffron cream sauce along with the delectable additions of mussels, rock shrimp, creamer potatoes and confit fennel. I had the wonderful opportunity to sample the Grilled Duroc Pork Chop with aged gouda potato purée, ginger glazed vegetables, sherry wine cream sauce and seasonal mostarda that was done to absolute perfection. I haven't cleaned my plate like that for years! My wife echoed that it was one of the top three dinners that we have ever had as a couple....Our service was second to none from the expediters, bussers and our very warm and personable server, Anna, who just added to the overall dining experience. A five star event for sure!“

“We love James at the front of the house and the super talented chefs - such a unique and fun experience. Three of us had the vegetarian tasting menu and it was amazing! I wish there were more restaurants like this! Thank you!“

“I have used Lucky Bones’s Eric three times in the last five years for catering parties at my home/in my yard. Twice I also booked waitresses with my party. The food is always delicious, the service reliable. We ran out of chicken tenders for the kids once and they brought over a new batch! Everything is set up as ordered and arrives on time. You can’t go wrong with them for your party. My father’s small after-funeral reception was in their back room and my husband and I eat at the restaurant at least once a month. Highly recommend.“

“i really love this place with the exception of that one cashier in the retail section not the bakery. she is absolutely miserable, belligerent, and nasty. It's almost like she's jealous of the people spending their hard earned dollars. She needs to retire.“

“WoW WoW WoW ! Today was my first time dining here and it certainly won’t be my last. Everything was incredible. Shrimp tempura for a starter and it was outstanding. The salmon dish was out of this world and like no other salmon entrée I have ever had. You will not be disappointed and the service was top notch! Well Done jays on third“

“Excellent Açaí bowl (Frothing) and service. Really loved this experience!“

“Originally got the ube soft serve and it was amazing, solid 9.5/10. Came back for the matcha soft serve (with coconut flakes added) and it was transcendent. Probably the greatest ice cream i have ever had in my life, and as an avid matcha lover it was glorious. I genuinely do not think anything will ever top it. I think after the first bite i ascended to heaven, high fived god, and only returned so i could eat more of it. The texture? Perfect. The sweetness level? Just right. But most of all, the matcha flavor was strong and high quality- not like other ice creams I’ve had where it tastes like vanilla with a whisper of low-quality green tea. If you like matcha, i am literally begging you to get it. Xoxo“

“My sister and I stopped by Port Marina for a quick late lunch, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our day! The atmosphere is beautiful, with stunning marina views and a relaxing coastal vibe. The food was fresh and delicious, the drinks were excellent, and everything was presented beautifully. A special thank you to Ava, who provided attentive, friendly service from start to finish. She made us feel welcome and checked on us just the right amount, making for a wonderful dining experience. If you’re looking for a great waterfront spot in Cape May with delicious food, great cocktails, and exceptional service, Port Marina is definitely worth a visit. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“My husband and I come to Cape May every year for our anniversary we have our favorite places that we love to visit this was our first visit to Pacino's bistro and we went back the night after to pick up again!!! The food was phenomenal and the wait staff were very hard working and friendly!!! I am server myself and this not an easy job but they were excellent. The ambiance in restaurant made the experience that much better. Cannot say enough good things about this establishment!“

“Excellent Food, friendliest staff“

“Friendly staff, beginning with two elderly gentlemen there on Saturdays. Very welcoming. And remains good from there“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’re locals and chose Sax at the Reeds to celebrate our anniversary on a Tuesday night in September. Since many of the local steakhouses were closed, we decided to give Sax a try — and we’re so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming. Our server, Patrick, was absolutely outstanding. He was attentive, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and wine list, and even made something as simple as choosing a steak knife a fun and memorable experience. He explained where the knives came from, what they were made of, and offered his favorite — such a unique touch! The food was just as impressive. I went with a mix of apps and a salad — the shrimp cocktail (huge shrimp!), perfectly seared local scallops (I was expecting three and got closer to eight!), and the truffle cheese burrata salad, which was loaded with heirloom tomatoes, arugula, basil, balsamic reduction, sea salt, and basil oil. Everything was fresh and delicious. My husband had the New York Strip with truffle fries and grilled asparagus — a perfectly cooked, hearty steak that left him very satisfied. We left completely full and so happy with our experience. Sax exceeded our expectations in every way, and we’ll definitely be back soon. Highly recommend for both locals and visitors looking for a special dinner spot!“

“If you’re looking for Cape May’s hottest subterranean hotspot, look no further than The Boiler Room. This place has everything: wood-fired pizza, Caesar salads that slap, neon lights, exposed brick, and a sound system that’ll knock your Birkenstocks off. And the staff? Honey. First, let’s talk about Matt, the food and beverage manager. He’s like the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain, pulling levers of flavor and hospitality. Ever had a martini that made you cry from joy? You will. Now add Johnny and Kyle behind the bar—Cape May’s dynamic duo. They pour, they shake, they stir, and they SERVE. Watching them in action is like seeing a choreographed dance, except everyone gets a drink at the end. Now let’s get into the pizza. This pizza? This pizza is like if Naples and Brooklyn had a baby that went to culinary school in Rome. It’s crispy, chewy, saucy perfection. And don’t even get me started on the Caesar salad—it’s crunchy, briny, creamy, and anchovy-whispered. I’d write it a love letter and send it first class. But that’s not all. When the sun goes down, this place transforms. The Boiler Room becomes an underground concert hall of dreams. The live bands? They funk, boogie, and rock ‘n’ roll like it’s their job (because it is). Think Parliament meets Tom Petty in a dance-off judged by Prince. They groove party anthems and timeless classics that’ll have you screaming, “This is MY SONG!” while you dance like it’s 1999. The Boiler Room has everything: brick oven dreams, Caesar epiphanies, killer cocktails, craft beers, sultry lighting, beautiful people, bar legends, and music that hits like a vintage disco ball to the soul. So if you’re in Cape May and you’re not at the Boiler Room, what are you even doing with your life? Sent from my iPhone“

“Terrific food. And when we had a little problem with our table Manager Jackie went above and beyond to make it more than right. She did this with grace and professionalism. We’ll be back.“

“Awesome bar and atmosphere“
