OUT THERE COFFEE
315 Ocean Street, Cape May
www.outtherecoffee.com
Old-fashioned southern cuisine providing ultimate
comfort inside the historic Chalfonte Hotel. Eat inside
or on the veranda — there’s nothing more Southern
than spending the evening in a rocking chair.
Homemade specialties and secret sauces, from classic
pizza (using homemade dough daily) to paninis, garlic
knots and pasta dishes.
The legendary harborfront dive bar reopened with
a smart renovation undertaken by the Laudeman
family. But the character remains, along with those
fried scallops.
Sip on craft beers inside this rustic brewpub while
enjoying delicious and casual fare including their
BBQ smokehouse menu, juicy burgers and specialty
mac-and-cheese dishes. Great outdoor space!
Located at the Inn of Cape May, stop in to enjoy
breakfast, lunch and dinner paired with specialty
cocktails.
A large and very reliable menu. Classic diner food,
oversized portions, and very reasonably priced. A
locals’ favorite for a reason.
Start every morning with their home-roasted coffee,
super-food lattes, gluten free baked goods and
varieties of toasts and frozen drinks.
