Magic Brain Cafe

Delicious lavender latte, many choices for non dairy milk, the scones (cheddar chive and vegan chocolate chip) and the cinnamon bun croissant are scrumptious. Very friendly service. Overall true coffee shop vibes, wish I could have curled up with a good book there but maybe next time!

Wonderful little corner place located within the little mall. Great coffee and friendly staff. Lots of options to choose from, including nitro cold brew if that's your fancy!

I decided to have my usual latte with whole milk and lavender syrup and it was very good. Definitely would recommend as a morning or afternoon break along the strip.

I enjoyed my pistachio latte and cinnamon scone. Couldn’t take a picture of the scone because I gobbled it up too fast :)

I found this place by accident while walking around the Washington Mall. This adorable little cafe had excellent coffee, treats, and baked goods to choose from. The person behind the counter was very friendly and talkative and advised is the best places to visit in Cape May. This cafe is in a house b&b so it's not a full size cafe but rather a cute quaint little place to stop off for breakfast or lunch with delicious baked goods. You can eat inside, or on the porch and effort the ocean breeze. Like sitting out in the country. Very pleasant overall experience.

I visited Magic Brain Cafe based on a local’s recommendation and was not disappointed. The iced lavender latte was excellent - perfect lavender flavor with rich espresso. Their pastries also looked delicious. I’ll have to try one next visit.

Friendly and efficient service. If I lived in the area, this would likely be my go-to coffee shop.

Note: If you’re in the Washington Mall area this is a bit tucked away. Navigate towards Peace Pie and it’s in the mall to the right of that.

A hidden gem in the Washington Street Mall area of Cape May NJ. Great selection of drinks and pastries.

I seriously LOVE this ☕ coffee shop! Super cute & cozy! Love the vibe! Baristas are always friendly! Delicious coffee! They have little snacks to pick from as well. Fuel up with some ☕ for your adventure - they are one block away from the famous Washington St Mall.

Great coffee, great prices.
#1 spot in cape may

My go-to is the Carmel mochiato. I'm basic, but there are plenty of other great options

Desperately seeking hot chocolate and there are so many people walking around. This place is right off the main drag and perfect! Ghirardelli hot chocolate was delicious and couldn't have been better! To top it off, the batista was very welcoming. We will definitely be back!

Best coffee and pastries in Cape May! And awesome, friendly, helpful baristas that brighten your day. The cinnamon bun croissants are amazing as well. Great vibe too!

The coffee here is so fresh and crisp. What a way to wake up not only your tastebuds, but brain! Lol

Service was efficient and pleasant staff. Nice pick me up and quick pit stop to support local/small business in the Cape May area.

TO NOTE: They’re hidden in a mall (Carpenter’s Square Mall precisely) near the Peace Pie ice cream house and by Victorious jewelers. One of the last shops in the center.

This little coffee shop is my diamond in the rough we found on our vacation trip this year. Staff is so kind and coffee is delicious. Highly recommend their Frozen Chai Latte (with almond milk).

Looked for coffee mid-week & off-season. At 5pm this was the only place open. I hoped the coffee wasn't overcooked, being they closed in an hour. Great coffee - nice & smooth. And friendly service!

magic brain is a wonderland for caffeine and treat adorers. the ambiance of the nook is super cozy and positive. you are served with a smile; the fellas behind the counter are as sweet at the pastry (do try the veg chocolate chip scones + the chocolate-cream cheese muffins). not to mention, they are thoughtful and swift with getting your order ready!! the iced oat milk chais taste like christmas morning… soothing, memorable, and full of cheer. please use your *~brain~* and make your trip to cape may complete by checking out this stellar spot!! 🧠

Hands down my favorite coffee shop in Cape May. Magic Brain has old school vibes- the staff remember our order (from last summer!), they greet you with a smile, the drinks are amazing and there's a great little nook to curl up with a book or to spend a few minutes enjoying your coffee. They also offer really cool merch and jewelry from local artists. My husband and I visit Cape May often throughout the summer and this is always our first stop. Highly recommend paying this gem of a shop a visit!

What nice way to start the day!! Excellent service with a nice smile and great coffee!!

Absolutely amazing!! Came to Cape May and stopped at this spot twice and it was amazing both times. The staff is super friendly and the coffee is delicious (coming from a barista). 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be coming back when I come back to Cape May!

One of the few coffee places in Cape may. But despite that it was still everything you could want in a coffee shop. Update: Offers soy milk and some vegan options. Updated to 5 stars for being awesome and offering NFC enabled payments.

I spend a lot of time here. Great Chai Lattes, Coffee and baked goods. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. They also have a few gluten free options. Cool shops in the building also. There are a few good coffee places in Cape May, this is my favorite.
Update: great deal on Black Friday giftcards!

My go to place in Cape May for the brown brew that greases the wheels of western society's progress. The employees are delightful and helpful. Many of their signature drinks such as the frozen hot chocolate and London Fog (with lavender infused Earl Grey), are tastes you'll return to without a second thought of hesitation. There is no sense of hoity toity coffee snobbery here, they make your mind mood lifting elixir they way you request it to suit your taste. I highly recommend a shot of espresso in that frozen hot chocolate just to take the sugary edge off and a lift to your step as you cruise the sidewalks of Cape May with your lifted spirits and perpetual smile. It just feels good to go to a place that enjoys serving you as much as you enjoy visiting.
