Best Warm Beverages in Cape May
https://capemayrentalhideaway.com/our-top-10/
Three years ago at the Cape May Christmas Parade, we discovered Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate made at the Cape May Peanut Butter Company and did not believe we would find anything better than that on a cool Autumn or Winter Day. However, after taking a walk on the beach one day we discovered Coffee Tyme and the mochas they make . Now it is a toss up in our eyes. You won’t go wrong with either. Today it was a stop at Coffee Tyme after spending several hours on the beach . We treated ourselves with a Snickers mocha and a Peppermint mocha.
Both Coffee Tyme and the Cape May Peanut Butter Company have stores in the Washington Mall, which is an outdoor mall consisting of many types of stores. In addition to mocha’s, Coffee Tyme offers several types of coffees, latte’s and other coffee based drinks, both hot and cold. If you like coffee based drinks and cannot find one that you like , you just are not thirsty. In addition, Coffee Tyme offers baked goods and sandwiches.
The Cape May Peanut Butter Company sells everything you can imagine peanut butter related and offers many flavors of peanut butter. They have a wide selection of peanut butter based baked goods and sandwiches…… but not PB&J? They even have peanut butter flavored dog treats. If you aren’t thirsty for their Peanut butter hot chocolate when visiting, you can purchase the ingredients there and make it at home. It is a very unique shop that you should visit.
Our Favorite Beach in Cape May
Since Cape May HideAway is only 8 blocks from Philadelphia Ave beach, we spend most of our beach time there. This beach has restroom facilities which are surprisingly clean. For those of you who have used restrooms at other beach towns, you will appreciate the effort Cape May makes to maintain their public restrooms. In addition, we have a beach box at this beach. What is a beach box? It is a storage unit where you can store beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach toys and anything else you will use the next day and not need it back at the house. It makes biking or walking to and from the beach a breeze. The box is available from Memorial Day until a week or two after Labor Day. Philadelphia Beach is a guarded beach from Memorial Day until Labor Day. It is quite comfortable and is large enough for everyone to have adequate space for their privacy and the ability to spread out and do what you want to do. If you don’t feel like packing snacks or drinks, a food truck is normally set up at the entrance of this beach during prime season. The vendor offers various types of lunch type food, ice cream, snacks and drinks. In all honesty, we have never patronized the food truck vendor so I cannot comment on the quality of the food they offer. The beach is so close to Cape May HideAway, it is easy to take drinks and snacks with us and we either bike or walk back to the house for lunch.

The Best Ice Cream Place in Cape May
Although there are many places in Cape May to satisfy your ice cream craving, it would not be a Jersey shore vacation without some Kohr Brothers frozen custard. Cape May has a Kohr Brothers in the Washington Street Mall.
