Creative brunch plates, towering sandwiches, and vegan options
"At some point during the Shore season, you’ll sleep late enough that you’re not sure if you want breakfast or lunch before you hit the beach. When you’re feeling indecisive, Cardinal Provisions is the place to go. We really like their rotating sandwich specials which are usually easiest to check out via their Instagram, as well as the gravlax with beet-horseradish cream cheese on an everything bagel, plus the terrific salads (the New Mexico Bowl is a standout). Another go-to is the cacio e pepe scrambled eggs, served with arugula, breakfast sausage, and Benchmark bread. Cardinal also has a bunch of vegan options, including many of their baked goods, making it an ideal place for special diets, pastries, and everything in between." - michael sinatra
"Look for towering sandwiches and elegant sweet plates like a berry skillet cake in Cardinal’s green and sunny daytime spot. Start or end a meal with a pillowy xuixo: a fried pastry filled with cream and coated in sugar, which originates from the Catalonia region of Spain. Their breakfast burrito could cure a hangover." - Melissa McCart
"With a tiled floor, mismatched china, and vintage lighting, this feels like a Brooklyn all-day café at the beach; I order mainstays like cacio e pepe scrambled eggs or the veggie-packed New Mexico bowl, chase specials such as the Kim-cheesesteak, and never skip a xuixo, the cult-favorite cream-filled Spanish pastry." - Marion Brewer
