The crumb cake , and banana walnut pancakes were good. You had a choice of short stack (2) or large stack (3). The crumb cake reminded me of eating a crumb cake with a crunch, with a good cup of coffee. Excellent service. Nice patio set up for warmer weather.

A staple of the Ocean Grove community, the food is good and the experience always leaves me in a better mood. I like the crab cake sandwich, the breakfast burrito and the Starving Artist breakfast. Arnold is welcoming and funny. His staff is always great! Waits can be a little long if you arrive at peak times on season. Inside seating is charming. Outside seating is a treat. Enjoy!

About 2 weeks ago, my husband and I were looking for a breakfast spot, and we came across this quaint breakfast/ice cream establishment.

I am trans/lgbtq. The starving artist and it’s staff embrace everyone who isn’t intolerant. The food is excellent and you can tell it’s prepared by people that enjoy making food. The servers are responsive and polite. And the atmosphere? Well it’s one of my favorite places to go because it has an inner and outer Garden that is impressive and really sets the energy for the place

This is a charming, local cafe that serves good quality food quickly. Everything we ordered was very good and the portion sizes were perfect. Based on the ‘no camping’ signs on the table, I assume it can get pretty busy, but we didn’t have any trouble getting seated during the off season.

The food was great, and the portion was very generous. the price was also surprisingly reasonable in 2023 when inflation was high and everything was charged twice as much as before covid. the atmosphere was friendly and the waiter was kind and funny. We had a great time trying for the first time. but our friends who live there go every day. Must be a good place for locals to frequent that often. we will go back for sure.

First time here and loved it! We sat outside on the porch and it was beautiful. Staff was so pleasant and attentive. Tomato spinach quiche and salad were delicious, as were the eggs with sausage and homefires. Fresh brewed iced tea. Definitely returning!

Wonderful breakfast. Outdoor Terrace was Charming, had fans and shutters to block the Sun. Staff was friendly, warm smiles. The breakfast was the best. I will recommend this place to anybody going to Ocean Grove in the morning. We secure the parking spot by 8:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning and set out to find a breakfast spot. This place came recommended buy a Ocean Grove beach staff member. And did not disappoint.

Bringing new friends and family to Ocean Grove and choosing the Starving Artist for breakfast was intentional. I am sorry it was not the best introduction to one of my favorite places in the country . Will not return.
