Velo Cafe

The food is incredibly fresh and delicious. Exceeded only by the great service from Amelia. And a really cool atmosphere and vibe, too. #lEtsreAlestate with #ScottGellerTheHomeSeller also, the best coffee along the Atlantic County Shore. And definitely in the conversation for one of the best breakfast restaurants anywhere.

Velo Cafe was a standout, small cafe experience. When we arrived around noon, the place was popping with customers, yet the wait was only five minutes and the service was exceptional. They got us seated relatively quickly and offered a water bowl for our dog with ice, being a hot summer day. We had one waitress, but several additional staff members were flowing around the outdoors, all making conversation and helping with the orders. It was an impressive flow! The only reason I am reluctantly giving four instead of five stars was the food. While the sides (potatoes, fresh fruit, sausages) and presentation were great, the entrees themselves were a bit lackluster. The cheesesteak omelet was very bland, being heavy on the provolone cheese and very low on the meat and peppers. My partner's order was also reportedly good, but not anything great. It's possible that we came on a bad day, with the waitress mentioning that one of the chefs had to go home early, but until we revisit, which I'd like to, we'll have to wait and see. Still, definitely a worthwhile stop on any passing journey or summer beach vacation!

Great coffee spot with a strong latte selection and a clean, inviting atmosphere. The food is flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. Service can come off a bit distant at times, possibly due to cultural style rather than rudeness. Overall, a quality experience.

Don’t sleep on Velo Cafe, we have had incredible breakfast lunch and dinner here. We usually go for an early lunch / late breakfast though. Just got dinner there tonight and it was absolutely amazing. Got the caprese salad with the ahi tuna and the Velo chicken. Sooo good!!!

I can honestly say best meal I’ve had since I’ve been at the shore 6 weeks now a definite must try everything was great . I got the Mediterranean omelette and my husband got the breakfast burrito and we got the Barrada toast to share and it was all delicious. I would say if you’re down the shore stop here.

As fate would have it, we stumbled upon this spot and were surprised to find a bustling crowd with a 40-minute wait. Despite the delay, I must say it was well worth it, as I had one of the best brunch experiences in a long time. As I savored every bite, I couldn't help but wish that this gem of a spot was located closer to my home. Alas, it wasn't, but I made a mental note to make a return trip to Atlantic City and indulge in their delicious brunch once again. The service was prompt and friendly. All in all, I highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Atlantic City or looking for an exceptional brunch experience. It may require a bit of a wait, but trust me, it's well worth it.

Absolutely amazing! Went here for a birthday brunch celebration and we couldn't have picked a better spot. The food was super delicious, we ordered the brunch tower and it was such a great mix of items and so fun to eat. The coffee and lattes here are spectacular, super smooth and not too sweet. The staff here were so attentive and sweet, they heard we were celebrating a birthday and put a candle out on a stack of delicious Nutella pancakes! Overall a 10/10 experience

One of our go to breakfast and lunch spots. The service is always impeccable and speedy. The decor is so refreshing and cute. The main star of the show is the always fresh and creative food. I try something different every time but one of my favorite offerings here is the chorizo, admittedly I might add it to just about anything I order. Next time we may just give the group breakfast a try. Modifications are a cinch here never had any issues. From the moment you sit you will not be disappointed.

Neat little breakfast place in the heart of Ventnor. Large portions. My friend and I actually shared the breakfast. Darr

Velo Cafe was a standout, small cafe experience. When we arrived around noon, the place was popping with customers, yet the wait was only five minutes and the service was exceptional. They got us seated relatively quickly at a nice and shaded table, and they offered a water bowl for our dog with ice, being a hot summer day. We had one waitress, but several additional staff members were flowing around the outdoors, all making conversation and helping with the orders. It was an impressive flow! The only reason I am reluctantly giving four instead of five stars was the food.

This place is really lovely inside. Very cute. My wife loves the wall. I loved the table menu. We found this restaurant on TikTok as one of the best places to eat in Atlantic City. They did not disappoint. Our waitress was extremely friendly. The new owner was present and very involved. My wife created a dish like a potato hash. I had the mascarpone French toast, which was good. My small critique would be that the mascarpone was thicker. Maybe the heat from the French toast loosens it. But the flavor was there. I felt bad because the waitress thought I didn't like it. After all, I don't eat much. But it was good, and I get full fast due to my medicine. And that Macha drink was excellent. Best Macha I ever had.

Remarkable service, friendly staff, great chef. I have found my new favorite resturant for breakfast. The place is very clean with a pleasant decor.

What a cute place with delicious food and friendly, attentive staff. We shared the Orale Benedict which is a spicy version of eggs Benedict. We ordered without the chorizo and the server suggested we replace with steamed spinach. It was delicious. The dish is served with potatoes. It was enough for two people!

Had a nice brunch at Velo. The place is beautiful and clean, inside and out. The menu has a lot of interesting choices. I settled on the goat cheese omelet, with a side of fruit. The omelet was fairly good, but I was disappointed with the fruit. It was an up charge and the portion was tiny. My husband got the stuffed French toast with a side of turkey sausage. The French toast was very tasty but the turkey sausage was overcooked and not good. I would love to come back and try Velo for lunch.

One of the better breakfast spots in Margate. I really really enjoyed the eggs Benedict. The couple next to me had French toast which they also said was delicious. I want go back for the banana crêpe with Nutella. Service was fast, and the menu was very affordable.

This is an absolutely amazing breakfast and brunch spot close to Atlantic City and Brigantine. I had the iced matcha and pistachio latte with oat milk and it was so tasty! The orale benedict was so unique and incredible with ground chorizo, perfectly poached eggs, Cajun hollandaise, and a sweet potato base. The servers were kind, attentive, and accommodating with our four month old baby. I look forward to coming back for lunch or dinner soon!

Good breakfast location. A little on the pricier side - but flavor of food is good quality. Service is attentive and we're able to sit us quickly

Loved this place! Really good breakfast and service! Really cute decor inside. I always get the avocado toast, and it always tastes great! Overall, great place to eat!

Great for breakfast and lunch. Very upscale at dinner. BYOB keeps total cost reasonable. Small venue Llimitef seating inside. Much sidewalk space for outdoor dining in seassson

Delicious breakfast at the Jersey Shore. The cheesesteak eggs Benedict, house omelette, and avocado toast were all amazing. Service was excellent too!

Went for brunch on the weekend with family in town. Food and staff were great. They have all the classics. Would return.

We love Velo Cafe! We have bern here 5 times in 2 weeks and it never disappoints. The omelettes and eggs Benedict are awesome. Chicken panini's were fresh and delicious. Avocado toast and chicken w: waffles are a favorite. Mabel and Trinity offer outstanding service. We always leave there happy and highly recommended!!

Very good brunch. Good Server. Eggs and French toast were spot on. Bacon and pankakes also very good. Good value here.

Food is always delicious. Never hard to get a table and takeout is always quick. Definitely a nicer breakfast experience than a typical breakfast spot/diner.

My visit was so nice , the workers were friendly , and the food was so delicious. I would definitely come again , the outside seats were very peaceful.

While in Atlanta City, we decided to check out the Velo Cafe. We made last-minute reservations, so we were glad that they could fit us in. The staff we very nice and friendly as we entered the restaurant. We were seated immediately. They gave us fresh bread to start, which was delicious. My daughter decided on the Fresh Pasta Special. I don't know what was in it, but she said it was delicious. (See photo). I got the Velo Chicken. It was roasted chicken breast with onions,mushrooms, tomatoes & goat cheese. Out of 10, I give it an 8. It was very good just need more vegetables and less meat (if you can believe that). Just a big plate of meat.. We also got a seafood salad to share. It was delicious. It had Shrimp, Octopus, Arugula, Cherry tomatoes, fennel & Celery tossed in a lemon olive oil. Everything was delicious but my only complaint is I don't like gratuities added to my bill. Other than that I enjoyed my time there. I would recommend this restaurant if you're in the area.

Charming, excellent food, not enough waitstaff yet they tried very hard to please...very convenient

We had a wonderful brunch. The food, staff and service were great. Coffee was fresh. Cute little place. We had avocado toast, chicken and waffles and a breakfast combo.

Excellent quality food, great service. Attractive environment. Pricey. The only thing I could criticize the fact that there is only a single bathroom - not a good experience when you need to go.

So good I went two days in a row. Had eggs bene and a hot caramel latte and would recommend!

We have been dining out in Ventnor & Margate for many years. Last night I "discovered' Velo Cafe, and we gave it a try. It was wonderful! The food is fresh and locally sourced, the menu is diverse, the dishes even look like works of art! And, despite their high standards, a friendly low-key vibe further enhances the experience. And it is a byob! Our New fav!

hi hi! this place was very aesthetic, clean, and had fast service. the food was great! i had the pancake tacos and the eggs were perfect! the pancakes hit the spot. come check this spot out if your in atlantic city nj!

A great brunch for down the shore. Orale Benedict was hearty, light, delicious, and refreshing all at the same time. I usually don't expect much from French Toast, but the Mascarpone French Toast was just superb, a must get. The place can get packed, and they squeeze you in pretty tight; but it is worth it. A damn fine brunch. Food (B+)  Pricing (D+)  Atmosphere (B)  Service (B)

Our friends made a reservation for six at Velo Restaurant in Ventnor, NJ. During the busy summer season this lovely spot is usually booked! We tried to get a reservation the weekend after Labor day; we were glad to get in! This place is BYOB and each couple brought adult beverages ranging from wine to a mixer for cosmos! As soon as we were seated, our server came right over to welcome us & offer us openers for our drinks. After hearing the specials we were ready to order! Our meals did not disappoint! Each one was served warm & tasted delicious! I shared a Velo Salad,- and ordered the Farro Salmon. Yummmm! Others had chicken and a different kind of ginger salmon and everyone agreed they really loved their meal! I highly recommend this restaurant, and hope to enjoy many more meals there! Their desserts are awesome too.

My husband and I visited Velo on a Saturday night around 6:30pm with no reservation during the winter. I recommend a reservation in the summer months. We were seated right away. BYOB. Started with the octopus and fried mozzarella appetizers. Both were fantastic. My husband went with the pasta special and I chose the Bronzino with the tale on. It was delicious. We have ordered Brussel and potatoes to share. For dessert we spit the warm apple crumb with ice cream and coffee. Lovely. Lots of leftovers to take home. The service was wonderful. The executive chef even came out to help the two servers clear tables. That type of supportive working environment goes a long way with me. I look forward to dining at Velo again. This is a gem in Ventnor.

While visiting Atlantic City, my husband and I wanted to find a nice little breakfast spot that was a little further from the hotels and we eventually came across this cute spot. The food was excellent, the prices were reasonable and the service was great. The next time we're in the area we will absolutely stop by!

Food was delicious! Service excellent! The Velo salad was not great! Not much flavor! All the other dishes were very good!

I got the mussel in red sauce and the shrimp ceviche. Both the appetizers were good but our main course and side were disappointing. The chicken was nice and tender but the pasta did not have that much flavor. It was bland and drowned in unflavored butter. Brussel sprouts were burnt. The short rib was tough while the mash potatoes tasted like instant mash potatoes. There were flies flying around us too inside the restaurant which made our food less enjoyable. Overall, everything was disappointing for dinner.

Had a nice Eggs Benedict today and it had been a while so I really enjoyed it. What I didn't enjoy was the $17! I mean come on, two eggs, an English muffin a thin slice of ham and some hollandaise sauce is what $3.00? Ok potatoes so add $.75? I want everyone to make money but how are the folks supposed to support the local establishments when the prices are so high? That's an $8.00 item going off at $17.00? Can't do it.

Velo cafe was a perfect breakfast/brunch spot! We had a big group and everyone really enjoyed their meals. Service was great as well. It's BYO so bring your own champagne and make some mimosas if you'd like!

Such a tasty experience for a table of 7 for brunch. We were seated almost immediately, though the place isn't quite that big, so I was grateful to get a table! Of a lot of places around AC for breakfast, the decor here was a little fresher and more up to date, with a nice shore theme and a menu that isn't afraid to have some layered, fun options. Lemon ricotta crepes, sweet potato benedict, along with staples like wraps, chicken and waffles, and french toast make me consider this spot every time i'm in the area. The staff even made me a special oat milk glass of chocolate milk, which was not on menu but was tasty. Liked the home fries but yes, they give you a pretty small portion of them. But I was full after my breakfast, didn't need anymore

Dinner atmosphere Average food Most servers are pleasant, not all.... absolute arrogance if a couple. What's nosier - inside conversations bouncing off tile floors or the outdoor lounge signer? Many options in Ventnor no need to go back.

Great food, service & ambiance. I had the Velo Café Omelet (Wild mushrooms, asparagus, caramelized onions, & goat cheese) and had them add crumbled sausage. Delicious! The water and coffee are free flowing. I had being left thirsty, so those two are big deals tomorrow. I highly recommend sitting outside on a sunny day. They have enough umbrellas and awnings to provide shade.

Crowded and tough to get into. Tight squeeze between tables. If you are not afraid of a crowd then try out the Italian delights that this authentic classic kitchen stirs up! The portions are generous and the staff is as friendly as they can be while buzzing around from table to table. The bone in Veal Chop Parmesan is pounded thin and is so tender and delicious- it takes up the entire plate - so go hungry! 1 star taken for the crowded downstairs / I don't love feeling smushed - it is loud and very tight. The outside seating doesn't offer a great vibe. The food is amazing so it's worth it :)

Quiet little spot, perfect for an intimate good meal! Very comfortable seating and the place was spotless. Cute menu offering, from breakfast to dinner. We enjoyed a tasty breakfast of Crab Benedict & a Mexican Omelette. Our waitress Julia was friendly and efficient while delivering good service.

This is my second time at Velo Cafe, and wow this place does not disappoint! The menu is excellent and has something for everyone. Chicken & waffles are not usually my first choice of breakfast food because in the past, the fried chicken was questionable but I decided to try it at Velo, and now I'm HOOKED. The chicken has no bone and has a uniquely spiced batter to it. It's crispy on the outside and extremely tender on the inside. I have not tasted anything better than this. To add, prices for everything are very fairly priced for the quality of food you are getting. Staff is very friendly and efficient. Inside ambience is cozy. Definitely would recommend!! Can't wait to be back soon to try the brunch boards! Check out my post on @gutinmybelly

This is one of my fav sit-down brunch places in the area, either as a date or a family affair. Sweet and savoury Crepes, sandwiches, omelettes, crab Benedict, chicken and waffles, and even a family brunch board with lots of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. This is a nicer sit-down for brunch for a reasonable $$ for the atmosphere and service. Just note - it's always always busy on the weekends

Read the review and thought the food would be so good, but it's ok. Portion is small. Feel like they need more garnish for the plating. Please don't order the sweet potato toast. It's nothing.... Waste money. Benedict was ok. Wish it has more home fries and the home fries has more fire. It felt like baked.. Frappe was ok. It's not cold enough. Overpriced overall....

We had brunch there. It was very good, staff was friendly, service was fast, food creative and good.

Velo is one of my FAVORITE restaurants. Not only is their dinner menu delectable but their breakfast is as equally delicious. Pictured is a barrata dish, bronzino, and short rib. The crispy prosciutto paired with the bronzino is what drew me into the entree that I chose and as per usual, I chose right! The person I was dining with was kind enough to let me try their short rib dish and the short rib was amazing! The owners of Velo are always so kind. I find that every time I visit Velo, there's another dish on the menu that intrigues me and every meal I've had their has been flavor and beautiful in presentation. I've yet to visit an additional location that they've recently acquired but I'll be sure to stop in.

Just happened in be in Atlantic City and was looking for a breakfast spot. The menu of Velo Cafe looked good and it wasn't too far to drive so we decided to check it out. The Cafe itself is really nice inside and much more attractive than I initially thought it would be. Well decorated and the bike theme was really nice. I ordered the smoked salmon Eggs Benedict. If anyone has read my other breakfast reviews they'd know that it's my favorite breakfast item if the place has it. This is one of the best I had. The capers were a nice touch. The home fries were delicious. Well cooked and the green/red peppers added a nice sweetness to the dish. My wife had the waffle, which she loved. Covered with bananas, blueberries, and strawberries. She said the waffle was cooked perfectly, soft on the inside with a crispy crust. Is that the right word, crust? lol. The wait staff was super friendly and they were very attentive without being on top of you all the time. Excellent service.

Harassed by owner's mom, Unprofessional owner called my friend a racist I am a big supporter of small business and I have never experienced this type of unprofessional behavior at any restaurant. I arrived at 10:45am and I had spoke to the host that my friends will be here at 11:30am. The host seated me. While I was sitting the owner's mom came to my table to say "busy" with an upset face expression but everything else was not in English. I have already told her my friends will be here at 11:30am since I notice their is lack of communication between employees for her to do that. Then she started to harass me 3 more times and she even spoke in her language about me to the customers next to me. I had enough of being harassed and spoke to the owner and he blamed me for sitting and even told me his mom did not harass me. He called my friend an racist because my friend told the owner that the "manager" his mom should have asked someone who spoke English to communicate that she has a problem with me sitting here. This owner should not be running a cafe. He does not know how to handle customer services. The owner's mom made me feel like this place was a place for her people only. Overall the food was ok and it was nothing amazing. The host and waitress was nice and did check to ask if we had everything we needed. I will not be coming back.

I have been a follower of Velo Cafe in Instagram for quite sometime and finding myself in the area we had to try! We headed out for Sunday brunch... The place is quite popular and we waited a bit for a table due to Covid lower occupancy restrictions. The wait was well worth it! They have an amazing breakfast selection! My traditional husband had the 2 eggs breakfast while I had the Velo omelet! Fresh coffee and juice... Amazing food, cozy atmosphere and friendly service made us feel at home!

Cute and quaint bistro vibes with fresh food and clean presentation. The coffees and iced frappes were a good start to our brunch experience. They serve oat and almond milk as dairy alternative to traditional creamer. My wife and I chose to share a Mediterranean omelette, which features kalamata olives, feta and spinach, with tomato and red onion. It was light and delicious. We also opted for the Balkan toast, which was the true star of the menu - it is reminiscent of avocado toast, with with a sorta of hummus spread made of roasted eggplant and red peppers instead of the typical avocado or guacamole. A must try. Service seems a little flustered, but we went on a busy Sunday morning so it's understandable.

It's amazing when a place has consistency, but it's even more amazing when it's nothing short of delicious every time. COVID has completely changed the dining out experience and it will forever be changed. However along with it, so many restaurants like Velo have not only adjusted during such difficult transitions but have over come them with grace. The service seems to be one of the most impactful as walking in you feel an immediate sense of family and that you're truly in for a family friendly experience. The food is quick, is well prepared and SO GOOD. No better way to put it. They are very open and kind to special requests when it comes to food allergies, etc. What a great spot that never ceases to amaze. Thank you for your hospitality Velo, can't wait to come back. Very soon!

Went for the second time for breakfast and once again, food was great. The Orale Benedict is AWESOME (see photo) and the sweet potatoe toast (both the sweet and the savory) are delicious.

Such a cute breakfast spot! I ordered the salmon benedict. It was tasty, but one of the eggs was a little overdone for the dish. I love eggs, so I will eat all eggs, but I do prefer a poached egg for the dish. The cappuccino was really good. I would definitely eat here again when I am in the area.
