EJ’s Bayfront Cafe

EJ’s had a nice atmosphere. We sat outside and enjoyed morning mimosas. Our service was excellent and our food was great too. We both ate eggs benedict, one with bacon and the other with smoked salmon, spinach and tomatoes. The fruit was fresh and the cheesy hash brown casserole was definitely a hit. We would go back again and recommend this place to others.

Delicious, fast and fresh! I had the shrimp and lobster omelette and one blueberry pancake. So fresh and delicious. My husband had bacon and sausage skillet and loved it. All of the ingredients were fresh. Such a friendly and welcoming staff. I highly recommend this restaurant!

This restaurant is nestled away on the bay. First, the service is exceptional. Our waiter & waitress took very good care of us! And the food was absolutely fantastic!

Had some breakfast with friends this morning and it was delish! Really like this place. I found a new favorite!
Banana stuffed French toast rolled in cinnamon sugar and lightly fried w/​mimosas.
Can’t wait to go back!

Fabulous stuffed French toast! The restaurant itself is nothing special, no great view or anything, but bottom line: get the banana stuffed French toast!

On vacation with my husband in Naples and we had breakfast here this morning. I had the classic eggs Benedict with fruit and my husband had the bacon and sausage scramble with biscuits. Both dishes were delicious. Eggs Benedict is my absolute favorite breakfast dish and EJs didn’t disappoint! I didn’t even let my husband steal a bite because I wanted it all to myself. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his dish as well. There was not a single morsel of food left on either plate! I’m getting hungry again just writing this. Everything on the menu looked great and we might have to go back a few more times before we leave!
Service was great. Waiter was very attentive and everyone we encountered there couldn’t have been more pleasant.

The staff was excellent. Friendly personable and helpful. However, the food was subpar at best. I ordered poached eggs biscuits and fruit. The eggs came out in a puddle of their cooking water, and the biscuit I think was two days old. Very disappointed.

Breakfast was good and the location is perfect! Waiter was not very attentive but others were great!

Fabulous Everytime!
Service is wonderful, always very personable and informative…
Atmosphere is awesome, inside is cozy and outside tables are a perfect way to enjoy the waterfront location…
And the food is alway delicious!!!
I have been stuck on the black bean pattys, with 2 eggs, fruit, and toast… perfect power start to a busy morning or beach day!
Plus fresh squeezed orange juice to compliment your champagne!!! YES PLEASE :)

We came here after Easter Mass — we were greeted by Eric at the host/​check in station — he was awesome ! He told us it would be a 25 minute wait — he also got everyone fresh coffee while they waited — it was longer than 25 minutes but Eric was very attentive and kind so it was okay! The food was amazing — we just moved here and I can’t wait to come back — Eric was terrific and the food was delicious — it made our Easter great!

The only negative thing that I can say about EJ’s is that they constantly advertise as «Naples Best Breakfast.» Possessive apostrophe needs to come after the ‘s’ there.
That should tell you all you need to know right there… wait, I MEANT about EJ’s. Yes, I’m a snarky elementary school teacher. Carry on. We’re not here to talk about me.
We have a condo in Bayfront, so the location couldn’t be better (literally just downstairs!). However, even if we didn’t, I would still crave and seek out a trip to EJ’s for breakfast every trip. They serve breakfast and lunch all day, and the food is great. Reasonably priced, too, considering the large portions. I’m back in NY right now after another Naples visit this past week, and I’m craving the hash brown casserole. I love my NY diners, but none of them come close to EJ’s when it comes to breakfast potatoes. Their skillets are great, too. Last time I went with my sister, they offered to split the skillet for us, and gave us each our own eggs on top.
Service is friendly and prompt. You can sit indoors or outdoors, AND the place is pet friendly. Their fresh squeezed orange juice is delicious; sometimes, I pop in just to get some to go before the beach.

A friend took me here, proclaiming it was one of the undiscovered gems of Naples. After one breakfast here, I tend to agree. I ordered the southwestern skillet which was eggs, cheese, hot peppers, vegetables, and a few other goodies served in a hot skillet. Everything was great! I wasn’t too crazy about their $ 3 coffee and $ 1 substitute for fruit instead of potatoes, but it’s not the end of the world. The owner works here, and is really friendly. Has a nice hometown feeling to it. Prices are very reasonable for Bayfront in Naples. Came here at 9am on a Sunday and surprisingly there was no wait. Get out and give it a try!

In town for the weekend and decided to give EJ’s a chance. I started with OJ which turns out is squeezed fresh onsite and was amazing. They have daily specials which I ended up ordering… Breakfast burger w egg, bacon, and choice of cheese. It was so good that I almost ordered one to go. Highly recommend stopping for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner!
Pro tip: it sits right on the bay so you can walk off your stuffed stomach and enjoy the water and boat docks

People, let’s be real!!! The place is not a good place for breakfast. I had the Benedict and the Hollandaise sauce is faaaaaar from being good. Hubby asked for 3 eggs and they only made 2.
Over priced, bad plate presentation. It’s just an ordinary café in a cute area. Don’t go if you expect good food.
Service is ordinary like the food. They toss your order on your table and disappear.

Excellent spot for breakfast! The smoked salmon benedict was as good as other Unilocal reviewers suggested. My fiancé had the southwest skillet which was also a very good dish and a large portion. Would definitely return again.
Only bad thing: skip the Bloody Mary… Mimosa would be a safer bet at this place!

The food was delicious and the service was great. Gina Marie was a darling of a waitress and when she was too busy to check in some other cute little server kept checking in on us too but I never got a name or phone number, so that was a little disappointing.
I had the smoked salmon eggs benedict and a glass of fresh squeezed Florida orange juice. Do yourself a favor and pay for the large oj.
Everything was splendid.

This place has such great reviews that I was expecting something spectacular, however I was met with a very standard breakfast.
It’s a cute little location with plenty of outdoor seating.
We ordered the Bacon Benedict, which was a pretty standard Benedict with some thick, delicious bacon (although not a lot of it). I also got the Strawberry Salad, which was a spinach salad with feta and fresh strawberries and mandarin oranges. It’s really fresh! The strawberry dressing wasn’t that great and I wish it had been served with a balsamic vinaigrette instead.
All in all a good breakfast, but definitely nothing noteworthy. Sorry

My husband and I are HUGE breakfast fans; it’s our favorite and the most important meal of the day for us. So, before wrapping up our weekend in Naples, we decided to grab some breakfast at EJ’s Bayfront. We walked in at around 11:30 AM and we could tell that they were pretty busy. Being our first time there, we didn’t know if we just pick a table or somebody would seat you and there was no one in sight to direct us. After standing around awkwardly for a few minutes, we just sat down at a table.
Our waiter came right away to greet us with the menus. We decided on a cup of coffee and some milk to begin while we browsed the menu. They have A LOT of options including pancakes, french toast, eggs benedict, skillets, sadwiches, omelettes, and other breakfast favorites. I settled for the Vegetarian Greek Omelette and my husband had the Southwestern Skillet.
The food came out rather quick. The best things I can say about the Vegetarian Greek Omelette is that it was good and fresh; I wasn’t really blown away by the taste. Though, the cheesy hashbrowns that come as a side are delicious! The plate also came with some side toast.
My husband’s Southwestern was tasty, but he wanted more eggs to balance it out. As he kept working on his plate, I noticed he began to sweat lightly. The skillet had way too many jalapenos that were very overwhelming. He wasn’t able to finish the meal because it was so spicy (AND he’s Indian, lol). The biscuit that came with it was also very dry.
Though the place was busy, our waiter was very attentive. Overall, it was a satisfactory breakfast. The food is fresh, but the food we had was not outstanding.

EJ’s is a special place. From super attentive service to generous, home made food selections. It’s a happy place where visitors routinely rub shoulders with locals. Sit in the air conditioned, coffee-​house styled interior where you can browse magazines, watch TV, or admire the décor. The rest of the world goes by outside the large windows. People might be waking up from one of the prettily painted, four stories of condos above the shops. Or they could be wandering down the plaza before or after launching from the marina. Workers recognized here by their first names pop in for brisk coffee or take out. There are lots of tables outside on the covered patio and sidewalk, if you prefer. There, doggies get their own preferential treatment with water from fancy, house drinking bowls.
Hey, breakfast lovers. Fresh eggs, toast and the rest of the usual suspects are available for lunch, too. Down home salads, sandwiches, and sides are described on a many page menu, despite the small appearing kitchen.
Good job, EJ’s. Live long & prosper!

So I went there with my girl friend visiting her friend here in Naples and EJ’s lives up to its rating. Besides a little mishap when the waitress accidentally dropped the syrup on the ground and it splashed all over the back of my gf’s shirt.
I ordered the bacon and sausage skillet, my gf and her friend ordered the banana stuffed French toast and the friends mom ordered the classic Benedict. Very yummy although the portion side was fairly small. The sun was out the weather was awesome couldn’t ask for more. Oh might I add they close at 3pm on Saturdays so make sure to set your alarm clock if your hungover from the previous night.
I will definitely be coming back, the food is great and the prices are reasonable.
