Janine Riggins wrote to us “No reservations in Galloway! They have a great menu and offer vegan and gluten free options. The vegan French toast on thick, soft ciabatta bread is amazing!! You would never know it was vegan.” (See below):

Mike Man say CJ’s Café in Somers Point has the best French toast. Pictured here is peach mascarpone crumble with blueberries. You don’t even need syrup with their unique selection of French toast, but it’s there for a little extra sweetness. (See two photos below):
