Minimalist cafe that focuses on delicious coffee and great food. Nice vibe, friendly staff. I predict this will be the hot spot to grab a smoothie or panini (that’s what I got, fantastic…made with three fried eggs and your choice or meat, or peppers). I went here both mornings I was in wildwood and this will be my stop every time I come through. Thanks Central!

Just left Central Cafe with some delicious sticky buns, donuts and coffee. The owner saw I had too much to carry and offered to help me to the car. This kind gesture meant everything knowing this man works so hard to make sure all of this is ready in the early morning. Fantastic business with a really genuine owner!

Great iced coffee ($5.35 for a 24oz with almond milk). Nice staff! A few tables to sit at, and some pastries/breakfast sandwiches / fruit to enjoy as well.

Awesome food and good drinks. It’s a great spot in the ways that count - affordable great food and drinks. **Donuts and muffins are so good.** 110% worth the drive up from wildwood crest.

A small, conveniently located establishment offers a delightful array of breakfast options, including bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and pastries. I indulged in a large iced salted caramel macchiato, which showcased a robust coffee flavor and a delectable macchiato. Notably, the flavoring was exceptional, striking a perfect balance between sweetness and a hint of saltiness, without leaving an unpleasant aftertaste. The establishment's pricing is quite reasonable for the area. The staff member who assisted me exemplified exceptional customer service. His charming, friendly, and cheerful demeanor was truly commendable. He even engaged in a pleasant conversation about my Deadpool shirt, making for a delightful start to my day. I extend my sincere appreciation to this individual for his outstanding service.

Called ahead to see if they had scones and they offered to make them fresh for me. When I arrived they were hot and ready. All the baked goods looked fantastic, and they tasted just as great. From customer service to taste 5 stars. I’ll definitely be back

Cute neighborhood spot. Stopped in because my coffee maker was broken at my airbnb. The coffee was delicious, breakfast sandwich hit the spot, and the family that runs it is friendly and kind. Reasonably priced.

I’ve been here twice now while doing laundry at the laundromat next door and I absolutely love it! My sister and I always get the raspberry iced latte and a chocolate chip scone and both are delicious. The staff is kind, engaging, and happy to accommodate special requests. They also offer made to order donuts which I look forward to trying!

We had such a great experience at this coffee shop! From the moment we walked in, the owner was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. The service was quick without feeling rushed, and we could tell he really cares about  customers. The food was just as impressive—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Everything we tried was delicious and reasonably priced. Of course, the coffee itself was excellent—rich and smooth. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back, whether you’re grabbing something to go or staying to relax for a bit. Highly recommend checking it out!
