Ostara’s Coffee House

This coffee shop has it all great drinks, great food, atmosphere, books, local goods, seating inside and outside.
Create your own drink, or pick from the many combination drinks from their special menu. I always get the coffee cubes, way better than regular ice.

Precious little coffeehouse my husband and I adore. We are vegan + having a go-to place for yummy coffee + delicious breakfast bagels is such a treat. My recent bagel is in the photo attached to this review. Everything bagel, vegan cheese, vegan egg, vegan bacon. Every bite was divine 😋

Vegan Family, this is a place for you!!!! The vegan egg, vegan bacon and avocado sandwich is amazing (my creation) and the peach filled vegan donut was over the top yummy🥰... Plus the coffee, OMG the coffee is so amazing, I'm addicted....
Definitely my go to spot while in town...

Plus the service is awesome and the smiles and friendly atmosphere is super pleasing...

This is exactly the type of place I hope to find on my travels. A cozy little coffee/breakfast place to sit comfortably and sip away. Sausage egg and cheese on an everything bagel was soft and tasty. Caramel and vanilla iced latte was very good and I had the coffee ice cubes instead of regular ice. Definitely a place to stop at whenever I'm down again. They even have a little corner for kids to play with toys and books.

This place is simply incredible. In case you don’t like reading in depth reviews, here it is summed up into one sentence; absolutely, and without a doubt, the best coffee and breakfast sandwich I have ever had anywhere.

I wish I could give 10 stars… every year my family and I come to cape may for a week. About 4 years ago i happened to stumble across this amazing shop. Since then, I have been sure to visit this shop every time. In fact, it’s one of the reasons i look forward to our yearly vacation.

Upon entering you find beautiful decor, library, and an extraordinarily welcoming environment. Not one staff member has ever been anything but exceptional.

Their coffee is consistently delicious each and every time - it’s always smooth and perfectly made. If you’ve ever been to a Dunkin’ Donuts, you know that it’s a 50/50 shot if your coffee is actually going to made correctly. This isn’t the case with Ostara’s. Additionally, their breakfast sandwiches are made to order, and aren’t sitting under a heater or being microwaved when someone eventually orders it.

Every time I receive my order, I always question how can anyone improve on simple things like a sandwich or coffee the way that Ostara’s does? My best guess is it’s the pride and dedication that they have to provide QUALITY and FRESH ingredients in every product they serve.

So please, if you are a coffee aficionado as I am, or if you’re just looking for a good coffee, don’t waste your time on the “dime-a-dozen” beach coffee shops that you’ll find for hours on Beach Avenue. Take 5 extra minutes to treat yourself to this small, family owned business. You will not regret it.

Always great coffee and great food here. You will not find a cooler coffee shop in NJ, with so many delicious coffee and other drink options, the coffee ice cubes, and one of a kind and often hysterical names for speciality beverages.
They make our favorite pork roll egg and cheese on a croissant in Cape May, and their avocado toast is super simple but so well done it always hits the spot. That white balsamic drizzle makes it! Love the PB & Banana griddled tortilla for the kiddos at breakfast too.
This is truly a unique hidden gem that’s worth the wait even if you arrive during peak hours. The team is amazing and so friendly and there is always something fun to look at while you wait, like a great curated selection of books, energy crystals, accessories, and sometimes even locally grown mushrooms for sale.
We always love seeing the owner with her kids while she’s at work, finding that right balance between work and motherhood all while treating her customers like family. It feels good to support a family run business, and even more-so when they’re putting out a superior product.
Fun little play area for the kids too.
We look forward to frequenting this spot for years and years to come!

This place is always busy for a reason! Super friendly staff, great coffee and delicious breakfast sandwiches. Shout out to the little man calling coffee orders!

This is a very cute local coffee shop. They had a full coffee menu (including iced coffee with coffee ice cubes). They also have a bunch of bakery treats and there is a place to get hot breakfast sandwiches inside. Definitely a cute place to visit.

Busy but quick service for breakfast before whale watching on a Wednesday morning. The drinks were absolutely wonderful and customizable for every taste. I got a bacon egg and cheese on a croissant that was so fresh and delicious it nearly put me in a coma. I'll be going back tomorrow. Bravo, Ostara.

Anything with the horchata ice cubes is a necessity first off. This is a small off the beaten path local coffee shop that has some of the friendliest staff and most amazing coffee and to die for pastries. Absolutely recommend if in the Cape May area.

The people who work here are so nice and super friendly. They also move quick. My husband and I got the cinnamon iced coffee with coffee cubes as well as turkey bacon egg and cheese on a croissant. We love that there was a kid area my child could play at while we ordered and sipped our coffee. There is also a outdoor table and chairs.

This food was made with love, stopped in for a quick bite and loved everything. The deserts the coffee and breakfast sandwiches were 10/10 ! Very homey environment

The Hot Chocolate was amazing and the Cappuccino was very good as well. The Food was good but could have had a little seasoning on it but I know some people like their food bland. Overall great establishment to get your caffeine fix with a great environment and friendly service.

Love this place. As other reviewers have said, the food (particularly, for me, the egg sandwiches and muffins) and coffee are consistently very good. But the reason I keep going back, at least once every week from May through September is the vibe, which is very open and down-to-earth. The owner and staff are all very friendly, and from the first time I went in a couple of years ago, I felt very welcomed and comfortable. I don't do many ratings, but I couldn't recommend Ostara's more highly.

Best coffee ever!! I really have never had a better coffee and it is always consistent! Lots of flavors and options. And love the owners! Make sure you go here if you are in Cape May! You will not be disappointed!

We got an everything bagel egg breakfast sandwich with turkey bacon. It was quite good!

The team had a long line almost out the door, but did a good job keeping up with things.

We would definitely visit again for an informal bite to eat for breakfast

I have been going to Ostara's since it opened 5 years ago. I love this place. I usually get an iced latte with coffee cubes, but this week I got one of their specialty drinks - they always have a theme. This time around it was wrestlers, and I got the Brett the Hitman Horchata. It was good. I get the baked goods (supplied from a local baker) and the breakfast menu looks great.
And you can buy from local vendors for art or jewelry, sometimes flowers and produce, and always a lot of books. And free parking too!

I'm not a coffee drinker but their caramel latte is delicious! Food is also great. Bagels are so fresh and soft. Definitely recommend!

Amazing coffee, even had coffee ice cubes!!! Loved the atmosphere and merch from local businesses. The barista was kind. My husband and I wish we had a coffee place like this close to our home!! Will definitely be coming back!
