SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. — A new breakfast and brunch destination, Mila’s of Seaside, is set to open this April at 701 Boulevard in the space previously occupied by Drifters restaurant. Owned by Mikayla and Johnny Manganiotis of Berkeley Township, the restaurant will offer a blend of traditional breakfast options and inventive dishes.
The couple, who also own Mr. Cupcakes in Brick, plan to gradually introduce the community to their new venture ahead of the bustling summer season.
The couple plans to ramp up the restaurant through Memorial Day.
The menu, which is still being finalized, will feature breakfast staples such as eggs, omelets, and pork roll, as well as unique creations like cannoli pancakes, churro pancakes, and avocado toast.
One standout offering will be a lobster Benedict, which adds an elevated touch to the menu alongside classic comfort food. According to Johnny, the aim is to provide “everything from lobster Benedict to your standard two eggs, any style.”
The restaurant is named after the couple’s young daughter, Mila, and will join the Shore’s growing lineup of creative dining options. Mila’s of Seaside hopes to cater to both locals and seasonal visitors with its diverse offerings.
The Manganiotis family’s emphasis on quality and community sets the tone for their new venture, with plans to attract a mix of breakfast enthusiasts eager to explore both familiar and adventurous dishes.
