Our Story

More than a café.
A gathering place.

La Costa OPEN MIC sits on Landis Avenue in the heart of Sea Isle City — a spot where the morning rush of coffee drinkers smoothly hands off to the evening crowd seeking live performance, cold drinks, and good conversation.

We built this space for people who believe a neighborhood venue should do two things: serve an excellent drink and give someone a reason to stay. That's why every night of the week features an open mic — whether you're a seasoned performer or someone who's never held a mic but wants to try.

From sunrise lattes to late-night jazz sets, La Costa is where Sea Isle City comes to connect.

Daily Open Mic No audition required. Walk in and sign up.
Boardwalk Location Steps from the beach, right on Landis Ave.
Year-Round Venue Open every night — summer season and beyond.
What's On

The mic is always open.

Every night at La Costa, someone takes the stage. Here's what makes our lineup different.

Signature Night

Open Mic Night

Comedy, music, poetry, spoken word — anyone can sign up. We provide the mic, the lights, and the audience that actually listens. Performers take the stage from 8 PM onward. No cover, no pressure, just your turn.

Sign Up Tonight

Live Music

Solo acoustic sets, local bands, and surprise collaborations fill our stage throughout the week. Every genre gets its moment.

Comedy Nights

Open mic comedy draws local and traveling comedians every week. If you can make us laugh, you own the stage.

Private Events

Birthdays, gatherings, team outings — rent the space for your group. We handle the drinks and the vibe; you bring the people.

Community

What people say.

"I've been coming here since they opened. The open mic nights are the real deal — not pretentious, just genuine people sharing their craft. The staff makes you feel like family."

M
Regular Sea Isle City

"First time holding a mic and I was terrified. The crowd here cheered me on like I'd already been performing for years. That's the La Costa energy — nobody judges, everybody lifts each other up."

J
First-Time Performer Galloway, NJ

"Stopped in for coffee on a weekday morning and stayed for three hours. Great espresso, fast Wi-Fi, and the owner remembered my name on day two. This place has soul."
