The Buttered Biscuit at 700 Main Street (at LaReine) in Bradley Beach is a small breakfast and lunch restaurant which has the feel of a cozy European Cafe. There is nothing like it in Ocean Grove. It is elegant with antique mirrors, chandeliers and matelassé table clothes. The menu is impressively enticing, and it was quite busy when we went there at lunchtime on a Monday.
We couldn’t resist trying the flapjacks (made from scratch daily,) and that dish, served with fresh berries, was superb. The coffee was excellent as was the service which was friendly and attentive, as if you were in somebody’s home. The menu includes Buttered Biscuit Bennies, Eggs Oscar, Sweet Lorraine’s Ho Cakes, Maui Meg’s French Toast, crab cakes, all kinds of eggs and omelets, burgers, oatmeal, fresh biscuits, and muffins or scones served with homemade cinnamon honey butter and jam.
Despite the impressive food, the prices are reasonable with most items under $10.00. They are open 7 days per week, 8 am- 3 pm.
This place should entice you into Bradley Beach from time to time. We’re going back for the best pancakes (flapjacks) we’ve ever had, including, she admits, Eileen’s own version.

Sounds wonderful. Thanks for the excellent review. I always thought the former Raspberry Cafe in OG had the best flapjacks. Now I understand why I see people waiting outside to get in, even on a weekday.
Read somewhere that the owner is expanding the restaurant to include a take-out shop in the adjoining storefront.
And their grilled coffee cake is outstanding!
Absolutely the best. The portions are so large my wike and I have to share and still cannot finish. Excellent coffee and the hand made hot chocolate too good. Must expand ordering to include the specialty walnut cream cheese French toast if on the special.
Chef/0wner grows fresh herbs outside the back door in season which he allows to be picked if needed for your recipe at home. Never have been disappointed there. Never!
Almost forgot the fabulous omelettes.
Enjoy.
