By The Sea Cafe

Great view, Breakfast was spot on, eggs were PERFECT, pancakes were light and fluffy, bacon was crispy. Great service, Kaylee was our waitress, she was sweet, and funny.

By The Sea has all the beachy cafe vibes you could ever want. It is seriously such a dreamy, cool place! There is a really nice covered patio out front where you can eat and literally listen to the sounds of the ocean waves from the beach right across the street! They have a lot of good breakfast options, and really reasonable prices. Our waitress was super sweet, I think maybe she was the owner? But both her and her husband work there and they were gems. The food was okay. To be honest, it looks better than it tasted in my opinion, but I still enjoyed the meal. The pancakes were huge and fluffy, but they didn't have a ton of taste. I really liked the addition of the apples and cinnamon on them, that was unique and fun. Overall I just loved sitting at this quaint cafe, it was so peaceful and I would definitely come back!

By the Sea Cafe is the cutest beach cafe! We stopped by Sunday around noon while down here for a wedding. Denise gave us the warmest greeting and let us choose where we wanted to sit. She took our drink order and left us to look over the menu. There is a good amount of food to choose from. We decided breakfast today. I got the short stack of chocolate chip pancakes with a side of bacon. Everything was amazing and the pancakes are huge! I couldn't finish all of them. My bf got the Ocean City Special. He swapped the pancakes for french toast. He got two scrambled eggs with cheese, grits with cheese and bacon. He said it was tremendous. We also split a piece of homemade pumpkin pie which was delicious!We will definitely be coming back here to try their lunch and new dinner menu. You can't beat the view of the ocean!Thank you Denise, Chef and Kennedy for you wonderful hospitality and amazing food.

We have eaten here twice- great service and super food . Recommend the Veggie Omelet- egg biscuit and french toast. Very dog friendly

The servers kids were there and she had to tell them multiple times to stop causing problems because it's the place where she works. An apple was thrown out the front door from them fighting. Service was very slow and they also had us sit there for 20 minutes because they couldn't figure out their card machine. I highly recommend going down the road to Java Joint instead.

Food was good service fast small but worth the visit. They had key lime cake so good.

I wish this place were open for dinner too. This is the best breakfast and lunch place we have found here. The owner is a nice lady who makes good herself. They have such a big variety of choices. 5 types of bread, four types of pancakes, etc.. they have a lot of vegetarian options and can accommodate a few vegan options too. I have a stomach ulcer and they brought me a cup of oatmeal with no milk or fruit in it. Also, the waitress Amy did such a good job. She was very attentive and friendly. When we were eating, people were coming out saying they made a right call choosing this place. I guess we are not alone in this.

We had breakfast here today- walked over from hotel next door. Nice views outside of the ocean, we were hot so we ate in. Good selection, we were hungry and had the ocean city sampler- chef's pancakes were outstanding, potatoes were delicious as well. Wife liked the fruit options and blueberry pancakes. Amy's service was awesome! They do bbq later on, they have their own smoker. We'll be back!

My husband and I had a wonderful breakfast at By the Sea Cafe. The special was cinnamon rolls which were delicious. Amy, our server, was friendly and funny. The food was amazing, especially the hash browns which you can get with onions and green peppers. We will return!

We called over about 20 min before closing and they graciously took our to go order and made sure we had everything we wanted. The BBQ sandwich was great, and the staff was friendly.
