    I’ve eaten at the Cafe Villa Nova multiple times over the years when I’m staying in Wildwood Crest. The menu has a lot of variety and I’ve never had a bad meal there because the food has always been delicious and very filling at a great price point. Whenever we go there for breakfast we’re always fortunate to have Natalie as our server. She’s always pleasant, friendly and most importantly, she’s always hustling and attentive in serving her customers. As for the atmosphere, the place is a bit outdated but that’s ok, because the food and waitress service is wonderful. All the condiments on the table are Walmart brand, which isn’t the best quality. They could do better if they used Heinz products and had better table napkins. Though I do believe it has changed owners or management several times in the last few years which may have led to the lower quality condiments etc. Overall, I’d recommend Cafe Villa Nova if you’re staying in the Wildwoods. The great service and the delicious food make this place a hidden gem.

    My mom and I grabbed breakfast to go and it totally hit the spot. We got two sandwiches, one bacon, egg & cheese on a croissant and one with pork roll, egg & cheese on a croissant. Both were super fresh and really tasty! The croissants were soft and buttery, and everything was cooked perfectly. You can tell they don’t cut corners. Quick service too, which was a nice bonus. Definitely a new go-to for a solid breakfast sandwich!

    5 's for their great service and food. It's a small place but a great environment, it makes you feel like home. And the food was incredible with big portions, just like momma would've served. I highly recommend the cafe and the hotel!

    This place was great! Food is delicious! I got the breakfast burrito and I loved it. My pop - pop got French toast with caramelized bananas, my sister got a bagel with cream cheese , my Grammy got blueberry pancakes, and my cousin got pancakes with strawberries. All of them were great! Very good I recommend this place.
