Jay's Cafe & Trading Co.

Jays Cafe did not disappoint. We tried two versions of the avocado toast and both were so good.

Rob got the avocado toast on sourdough with bacon on top and it was full of flavor. The bread was toasted just right and held everything well without getting soggy. The avocado was fresh and generous, the tomato added a nice bright touch, and the seasoning on top gave it even more flavor. The bacon on top really pulled it all together and made each bite even better.

I got the avocado toast on wheat with the bacon on the side and I loved it. The wheat bread gave it a hearty feel and the avocado was creamy and well seasoned. The tomatoes were fresh and the whole dish tasted light but still filling. The bacon on the side was cooked just right and paired perfectly with the toast.

Everything looked fresh, tasted fresh, and felt like a breakfast worth talking about. My one recommendation would be to slice the toast to make it easier to eat, especially with all of those toppings.

Jays Cafe gave us a simple meal done really well, and that is exactly what makes a place stand out.

I ordered the avocado toast with eggs, but the eggs were served chopped into small pieces, which was a bit confusing. The coffee was good. The Wave Runner (bagel with eggs and bacon) was delicious, and the Coastal Standard was pretty good too. One thing I noticed was that one of the women working in the kitchen had her hair untied, which didn’t seem very hygienic.

This is the best coffee my husband has found in Ocean City so far, with decent prices to boot! We shared a cake pop and he got an iced coffee. The atmosphere was really relaxing and sleek.
