A new and unique dining concept is set to make its debut in Wildwood this spring with the opening of Lighthouse Kitchen & Cafe. Located at 3109 Pacific Avenue, this cafe will offer a 24/7 dining experience, a rare find in the area.

The family behind Lighthouse Kitchen & Cafe has a deep connection to coffee, with generations dedicated to growing and selling it in Mexico. After moving to the U.S. in 2014, they decided to fulfill their dream of opening a cafe by the shore, with Wildwood being their chosen location due to its sentimental value.

The cafe will not only serve as a place to eat but also as a welcoming environment where both locals and visitors can enjoy quality food, excellent service, and create lasting memories. Renovations are currently underway to transform the space into their vision.

One of the standout menu items to look forward to is the “Machete,” a dish originating from Chiapas, Mexico, that reflects the family’s heritage and authenticity. The team plans to open the cafe in mid-April 2026, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week through Labor Day, before transitioning to a year-round breakfast and brunch spot.

Stay tuned for more details on the official opening date by following their Facebook page. Keep an eye out for updates on the Wildwoods Construction Update video, where we will cover the progress of Lighthouse Kitchen & Cafe.
