Honestly, if you’ve lived in South Jersey for more than five minutes, you’ve probably heard someone mention Turning Point. It’s basically the "cool older sister" of the local diner scene. But here is the thing: people often walk into the 1690 Nixon Drive location expecting a standard eggs-and-bacon joint. They sit down, open the Turning Point of Moorestown menu, and suddenly realize they are in for something way more complex than a greasy spoon special.
It's located right near the Moorestown Mall, so it gets packed. Like, "don't even think about it on a Sunday morning without the app" packed.
Most people get it wrong by ordering the same thing they’d get anywhere else. You don’t go to a place that sources small-batch beans from Cowabunga Coffee Roasters just to order a "regular coffee." You go for the stuff you can't make in your own kitchen without destroying your afternoon.
The Breakfast Classics That Aren't Actually Basic
Let’s talk about the Wilbur Skillet. It’s legendary for a reason. Imagine a hot skillet filled with seasoned potatoes, crushed bacon, avocado, tomato, and melted jack cheese. It’s topped with two eggs however you like 'em. It sounds simple, but the way the fats from the avocado and bacon hit those potatoes is... well, it’s a mood.
If you’re leaning into the "sweet" side of the menu, you have to look at the OMG French Toast.
It’s not just a clever name.
We’re talking thick-sliced wheat French toast layered with sweetened mascarpone, sugar walnuts, caramel drizzle, and—because why not?—chopped smoked bacon. It’s a chaotic mix of salt and sugar that shouldn't work, but it absolutely does.
For the "I'm trying to be healthy but I'm still at brunch" crowd, the Health Freak Combo or the Mediterranean Greens & Grains Bowl are the go-to moves. The bowl actually has a mix of quinoa, lentils, and split peas over organic greens with goat cheese. It’s surprisingly filling.
The Lunch Menu: More Than Just an Afterthought
Turning Point stops serving at 3:00 PM. They’re very serious about that "work to live" philosophy, which means the staff actually wants to be there. You can taste that in the lunch offerings.
Most people sleep on the Pavo Cubano. It's their take on a Cuban sandwich but with roasted turkey breast, ham, Swiss, pickles, and a cilantro honey Dijon that honestly carries the whole sandwich.
Then there’s the Perfect Pear Flatbread.

- Cauliflower crust (actually crispy, surprisingly).
- Melted jack cheese and arugula.
- Virginia ham and diced cinnamon pears.
- Balsamic glaze.
It’s weird. It’s seasonal. It’s $14.66, and it’s one of those things you order once out of curiosity and then end up craving three weeks later.
Why the Coffee Situation Matters
If you’re just grabbing a fountain soda, you’re doing it wrong. The Moorestown location is one of the few that really leans into the French Press and Cold Brew culture.
The Dutch Chocolate Caramel Brew is basically dessert in a glass. It’s a chilled coffee topped with caramel-infused cold foam that costs about $7.48. If you want something more "functional," their house blend is a Central and South American mix that they brew with triple-filtered water. No paper filters. They use micro-mesh screens to keep the oils in the cup.
That’s the kind of nerdery that separates this menu from the place down the street.
Hidden Gems and New Additions
The 2026 menu has seen some "New" tags popping up next to items like the Beauty Collagen Shake. It’s gluten and dairy-free, featuring collagen peptides, almond milk, banana, and strawberry. It feels very "Los Angeles," but it’s sitting right there in Moorestown.
They also have a Fiesta Crunch Salad now. It uses a fire-roasted corn poblano salsa that has a decent kick to it.
What to Know Before You Go
- The Wait: Use the Turning Point app to join the waitlist before you leave your house. Seriously.
- The Atmosphere: It’s got that upscale farmhouse vibe—fireplaces, natural wood, and lots of light.
- The Kids: They have a dedicated kids' menu with "Volcano French Toast" (French toast sticks with strawberries and whipped cream). It keeps them quiet.
- The Perks: They have a "Waitlist Reward" sometimes where if the wait is long, you get perks, but don't count on it every time.
A Real Look at the Experience
Is it perfect? No. Sometimes the noise level in the Moorestown location can get pretty high because of the open floor plan. And if you’re looking for a $5 breakfast, this isn't it. You’re going to spend $15–$20 per person easily.
But for a place that serves Shakshuka with goat cheese and toasted ciabatta in a suburban NJ shopping center, it’s hard to complain. They’ve managed to take "daytime dining" and make it feel like an event rather than just a way to kill hunger.
Actionable Next Steps
- Download the "Turning Point" app immediately if you plan on going on a Saturday or Sunday.
- Skip the standard drip coffee and try the French Press—it’s enough for two people and the flavor profile is significantly better.
- Look for the seasonal insert. The menu changes, and the seasonal items (like the pumpkin-themed stuff in fall or the pear flatbreads in winter) are usually the most creative things they do.
- Check the "Rising Stars" section if you want to support local causes; they often have a specific menu item where a portion of the proceeds goes to charity.
