EJ's Bayfront Cafe - Naples

I've been wanting to come in here for awhile. Being a local, what took me so long?? Well, a big birthday and with family visiting, and one beautiful morning, it was finally time.

The place was pretty busy inside and out, but we were seated and served right away. Very happy that this is a breakfast and lunch cafe that knows how to pump out the great food quickly, but not a typical greasy spoon. This place is hip, clean with every member fulfilling their roles to keep the place running like clockwork.

Homemade crab cake benedict was mostly crab, so you can tell they know what the heck they're doing. Scratch omelet made to order, with excellence home fries just right. Beverages were kept full during the entire visit, and a complementary homemade cinnamon bun to say "happy birthday" sealed the meal with a nice wish. Thanks!

I'm not waiting so long to go back, because I'm heading there again right now!

Solid breakfast spot in this part of Naples!
Food: banana French toast was very good! It wasn't super sweet, but just the right amount. We got the platter, which is nice to add a little extra protein and breakfast samplings to the dish. Bacon and sausage skilled was pretty solid too. It could have used a little more sausage in ours? But the potatoes were tasty and you can never go wrong with a skillet.

Service: the server checked on us regularly, and the food arrived within about 15 mins of the order being placed. We were also seated immediately inside.

Ambiance: indoor and outdoor seating, with most of the seating being outdoors. It's close to the water (but not on it) so it is breezy outside. We sat inside, there are a couple of small TVs along the walls (volume not on) but it wasn't very loud inside.

Based on the reviews, I thought that I made a good choice for breakfast for my group. Sadly, it didn't not live up to the hype. People must love this place because there were people in line waiting for both inside and OUTSIDE (on a rainy day!). We were seated relatively quickly which was a nice surprise.

Service was very friendly. Our server was top notch - very helpful with the menu, plus offered tips for things to do in Naples during our visit. She really knew how to make people feel welcome.

The food was disappointing. My Crab Cake Benedict was drenched in hollandaise sauce. After wiping off some of the sauce, the crab cake itself was mushy and the flavor left much to be desired. Maybe I was expecting too much? It's hard because Naples has so many good restaurants. The coffee was OK. I know I am pickier than most... The rest of my group was satisfied with their meal.

I don't know what other breakfast places are like in the area, but I would definitely say keep looking.

My second time here and it's been years, but everything was equally as good as the first time. Service was top notch and my eggs Benedict was perfect.

Food was fine, nothing spectacular, but coffee was NOT good and nothing puts me in a foul mood like a bad cup of coffee in the morning. First cup came out luke warm. 2nd cup came out very weak so ordered a cafe mocha instead which was also very weak. I assume they were skimping on the espresso or perhaps it was made with regular coffee.

So the food is spectacular but unfortunately we did not get a very good server we had to keep asking for a refill on our drinks everyone order came before ours even people who got their after but I will say the food is worth going

Found this place by accident while staying at the Naples Bay Resort. Cute little place near the bay. Great variety of breakfast and lunch options.
Great service from Felecitie. We had the healthy egg white scramble and the pancakes. The server said the pancake recipe was new so it had become quite popular. I see why! It was d"sweet, buttery, fluffy and delicious.

Nice spot for brunch or lunch. Friendly staff. Nice outdoor seating in a pretty complex near a small marina. Our group had a breakfast burrito, cheese steak skillet, an omelette and eggs. Everything tasted great. We got there at the end of a busy lunch hour and were not rushed.

I came here with a friend and this was a fantastic place to go. Right on 5th avenue and next to tin city so very convenient spot. Service was good and the portions were very large and I had the breakfast burrito which had a good mixture of meat, eggs, and veggies which was nice to see. They have indoor and outside seating making it a great spot to have brunch!

We have lunch at EJ's on May 15the. The food was excellent, service was prompt, and Eder did a super job of taking care of us. Would go there again!
