Bayshore Bagel & Coffee Co. — Restaurant in Lower Township

With very good reviews online, we went out of our way to get breakfast here before getting to the ferry this morning. The inside is small without a restroom, but the staff is pleasant. Besides the prices on the menu, the first red flag should have been that they market themselves as a coffee shop but then, apparently use a $700 homeowner grade espresso machine from Breville. 2 drinks and 2 bagels with cream cheese came out to almost $26 which is ridiculous anyway, but we looked beyond this seeing as it’s in the Cape May area. However, the cappuccino I had requested was the worst I have had anywhere. Without any coffee taste, it was basically a giant cup of hot milk. The everything bagel was… just okay. Considering that we are in the area of New Jersey with arguably the best bagels in the country, these were a huge disappointment. They were overly dense and chewy, lacking in flavor. Both the plain cream cheese in the scallions/bacon cream cheese were enjoyable, but that’s about the end of the positives for this experience. The asiago bagel was a bit of a joke with a clump of melted cheese on the top of what appeared to just be a plain bagel with cheese tasting like store brand, odorous, disappointing “Asiago”. All in all, not nearly worth the price tag as we dumped out the drinks and barely finished the bagels. Would not recommend unless they make some huge improvements.

Edit: It’s always revealing when a business takes a “it’s your own fault you had a bad experience” type of stance. Just because some people enjoy a product does not mean that it is universally flawless and likable. On this particular visit, all of our items were To-Go since we had other timed arrangements, so we didn’t discover the poor quality until we had already left and could not turn around. We also had come to this location based on decent reviews and did not have another option at that point as we were in a hurry to get on the road, so we assumed that the product would live up to the high price tag (our mistake). The management response only supports the initial...

Love this place! We stopped here on a weekend trip in Cape May. There was a constant flow of customers from the time we walked in, and they got everyone’s orders out quickly so there was never a long wait. I ordered a blueberry bagel with cinnamon raisin walnut spread and a caramel cold brew. The bagel and spread were hands down the best I’ve ever had! They are very generous with the cream cheese spread. The cold brew was also super flavorful—it had a light, nutty taste. I will definitely return here next time I’m in...

I was so happy when I stumbled upon this place! The homemade big puffy bagels are fantastic. The Asiago is my favorite! Try it with the Bacon scallion cream cheese. You won't regret it!

They have a delicious selection of other baked goods. Stuff like Homemade pop tarts, cinnamon rolls, and brownies I often can't resist adding to my order.

Don't miss the Station 60 breakfast sandwich either. It's no joke! You need a nap afterwards!

There are a few small tables outside but it is generally a take...
