Cape May Grilled Cheese

Where Is It? In the Washington Commons right in the center of Cape May.

Why Should I Go? Heading into its second season, Cape May Grilled Cheese Co. brings a new spin to this classic lunchtime favorite.

Mike McCloskey opened the shop’s doors in June 2022 with plenty in his culinary arsenal. Having over 250 recipes in his back pocket, he’s creating a more memorable dining experience with food that’s unconventional, but in the best way.

Dive into an Italian hoagie grilled cheese, a chicken-bacon-ranch grilled cheese, lobster grilled cheese or what he calls, “The Worst Crab Cake Ever” grilled cheese. But you won’t be saying that after you’ve had your first bite. The flavor-packed ride doesn’t stop there. Enjoy menu favorites like the Jersey Jam fries featuring their homemade tomato jam or Da Melt burger complete with onions and served on Texas Toast.

There’s an art to every recipe Mike creates... and there’s a grilled cheese in all the artwork on the walls. Check it out when you stop in — the Mona Lisa, Girl with a Pearl Earring and American Gothic all feature a cheesy addition to the famed work. There’s so many to spot and surely makes for a great photo op. Now that’s something to be remembered.
