Breakfast on the Boardwalk
- Jersey Roll on the Boardwalk in Seaside Heights. Place to go for breakfast sandwiches and fresh homemade donuts.
- PJ’s Place is both a great dinner spot and a breakfast spot. Freshly made eggs, bacon, and all the trimmings.
- Jimmyโs Breakfast in Seaside Heights. Ok technically we are cheating with this one, but Jimmys is located on Ocean Terrace, directly across from the boardwalk. They offer standard diner food.
- The Crepe Shack on the south end of the Boardwalk might not serve your typical breakfast sandwich, but trust us, their crepes are worth a try.
- Blue Cup Coffee If you are a coffee lover this is the spot to hit. Good for other grab-and-go breakfast items.
- Planet Candy is a great place to get coffee in the morning. They offer a variety of specialty coffees, lattes, cappuccinos, espressos, and iced coffee (a must have in the summer). While they do offer bagels, unless you want fudge for breakfast, you might want to head to a nearby sandwich shop for a heartier breakfast.
- Playa Bowls offers the best breakfast in Seaside for vegan or a healthy and plant based breakfast. You can find them in two locations on the Boardwalk. The first is at Casino Pier, the other is at the Seaside Park end, both open daily on a seasonal basis at 8AM.
