⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sand Dollar Pancakes is hands-down one of the best breakfast spots I’ve ever been to! The pancakes are unbelievably fluffy, light, and full of flavor — they really live up to the name. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, and the toppings are generous without being overdone. Beyond the pancakes, the rest of the breakfast menu is just as impressive. Everything we ordered came out hot, fresh, and beautifully plated. The coffee was smooth and strong (a must for me in the mornings!), and the portions were perfect for starting the day satisfied. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, which really added to the experience.

I have tried many of the local breakfast spots including Meg’s, Sunny Hunny, Jimmys, Patti’s Kitchen, sunset key and Charlie’s. This place is by far the best. The service is friendly, the food is delicious and cooked quickly to order. The pancakes are fluffy and tasty. I highly recommend this place. I will say it has become a game to see if the grumpy faced owner Festa ever smiles. She does not. She will be a staple behind the counter. Ignore her scowls and get some delicious breakfast.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Katie Corey · Jul 2024

Solid food with great service! Enjoyed the stuffed pancakes very much! Daughter loved her cannoli waffles. Son said his scramble was great. Very nice people running the place who also had on point suggestions for dinner! Many thanks! Would definitely return!

Old school. I ate here in the 70’s and same family ownership! Great choice in classic Lavallette style! The crispy bacon and eggs over easy were perfect! Keira was just wonderful.
