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.

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.

A must for breakfast and lunch. Don’t miss this gem that has been around for 16 years. The owner, Kathy, is also the chef so you get that ‘mom’s home cooked meal’. 10/10 cuban sandwich.

Beachfront, outdoor seating, excellent patty melt, delicious omelettes, great service. What’s more to like? Our server, Amy, was one of the best we have had in a long time. Go with her recommendations if you don’t know what to get!

This place is a hidden gem. The food was amazing, the omelette was tasty and full of flavor, their pancakes were light and fluffy and their hash brown was crunchy and not oily at all. The service was great and Amy was super nice and friendly. They offer a breakfast and a lunch menu which is perfect a visitor dropping by any time. Great place.

Best hidden little gem along the coast! Not only was food and service top notch, but they made me feel like I was home! Very reasonably priced. Definitely will visit again.

Our pancakes were really good! The waitress was super sweet and nice. The atmosphere is just cozy and the view of the sea was amazing.

We were staying at the hotel next to there. They close at 2pm and we called with a pretty big order at 1:44pm. I apologize for them closing so soon. They said no problem. Went in to pick up the food a few minutes later. The owners and girl helping me were so nice. The food was delicious. Next time we are in Daytona we will stay at that hotel and get food from there again! 10 out of 10 recommend.
