Best Lunch Restaurants in Cape May

"Rise Up Coffee, an independent small-batch coffee roaster and retailer for the past 14 years, has popped up next to the traffic circle as you drive into downtown Rehoboth. It takes over a former 7-Eleven location. The business was founded in St. Michaels, Maryland, by owner Tim Cureton in a tricked-out coffee trailer."

"Don’t let the name fool you: Rise Up Coffee Roasters is not your average coffee shop. The Rehoboth Beach location offers full breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as a full bar. Outdoor seating is available and pets are always welcome."

"Got the traditional eggs Benedict before leaving to head home. Good food, quick and friendly service. At least we ended vacation with full bellies."

"Felicia’s Cake Factory offers home baked goods created with both passion and family-inspired recipes using the finest and freshest ingredients. This gourmet bakery and coffee shop has 11 different homemade Gourmet Cream Cheeses that pair perfectly with their Artisan Bagels. Our Muffins, Scones, Croissants, Cinnamon Buns, Sticky Buns and not only taste great but also look beautiful."

"29 Baltimore Ave., Rehoboth; visit Steamin’ Blues Crabhouse Facebook page. Coming soon to downtown Rehoboth will be Steamin' Blues, a new crabhouse from the owners of The Surfing Crab Restaurant & Bar at 16723 Coastal Highway (Del. 1) in Lewes. Owner Donald Vechery is taking over the former Jakes Seafood Restaurant site in Rehoboth at the corner of First Street and Baltimore Avenue."

"For decadent breakfasts, the Mad Batter is the name to know in Cape May. Highlights include tucking into pillowy buttermilk pancakes studded with local New Jersey blueberries or a Chesapeake Bay Benedict with crabmeat, poached eggs, and hollandaise while sitting on the sunny porch."

"Bella Vida means “beautiful life.” Enjoy a playful and healthy, fresh blend of Costa Rican and Italian influenced food at this sunny neighborhood cafe– from Liborio’s Homemade Lasagna, to Coconut Shrimp to Devin’s Bella Vida Crab Cakes.​ BYOB."

"Are you craving an intimate getaway but want the luxe amenities of a beachy resort?. Let the Star Inn help light the way to an unforgettable vacation. Cozy accommodation, including the secluded Carriage House Suites, feature perks such as private sundecks, balconies and backyards, all with rocking chairs or porch swings, of course."

"If you’re familiar with my Portland lighthouse guide, then you already know I can’t resist these beautiful beacons when I see them. Well, it just so happens that Cape May is home to its own lighthouse as well, located within Cape May Point Park. PHOTO TIP: There are a couple of places to capture the lighthouse, with each offering its own unique perspective."
