The parking situation is horrible. We got there around noon and there was nowhere to park. Went…read moreinside and there were dirty dishes on a few of the tables with flies buzzing all over. When we sat down I felt gross since the tables were sticky. I ordered a crispy chicken wrap and it was not good. The pancake my friend had was huge and did look good. My husband had the omelet and he said it was good. There is only one bathroom for the whole restaurant so it is rarely available for people to use. Won't be back.

I found this restaurant randomly as we drove from Vermont to Portland. This is the kind of find…read morethat I love - a local diner/cafe off the beaten path. If you find yourself in Sanford, this is a place that is a good find. The menu contains all of the breakfast and lunch standards. Breakfast is available until 2:00 pm, which is when the restaurant closes, so everything on the menu is sold from opening to close. My wife had the waffles ($4.99) and bacon. The bacon was crispy, but the waffles had a softer than usual (for us) texture. I'm not sure if that's normal, or just the batter and cooking that Sweet Memories does. However, it was tasty and she enjoyed it. I ordered the cleverly named "Big Breakfast" (8.89) that included: Three eggs served with two pieces, bacon, two sausages, a half slice a ham with home fries and your choice of toast or an English Muffin. The quality of the food is good and the prices are an amazingly good value. I'm sure that this same meal back home in Minneapolis would be more $15 for the Big Breakfast and $12 for the waffles and bacon. The service was a bit sluggish, but all in all, fine. I would love for a second location to open in Minneapolis, Minnesota, complete with the Sanford, Maine prices.

Service was slow but that could be because it was busy or they're short handed, I never saw anyone…read morejust standing around. It was busy, and I've heard many good things about this restaurant. The decor was cute and homey. I was not very impressed with my food. I ordered a kielbasa omelette with home fries and grilled English muffin. I don't know what they cooked the food in, some oil or butter, I don't know, but whatever that was, I did not like. I am not picky by any stretch of the imagination, but there was a flavor in all the food that just did not taste good. I couldn't finish any part of my breakfast.

Very nice server, pleasant and was understanding of my mother being hard of hearing. We had a beautiful Portabello Mushroom appetizer. . . . Honestly would be good for a party of 4!!! We ordered fish for dinner, baked haddock with a lobster sauce and the pan seared scallops. Both meals were plated well and piping hot, no heat lamps here!!! Baked Haddock had a lobster sauce and came with choice of two sides. The Scallops were on a bed of sun dried tomato risotto. I added a little salt on the risotto to bring out the flavors. Both dishes were creamy and delish!!! Definitely going back, gonna save room for dessert next time.

The people I was with both had the French onion soup and split a sharable portion of onion rings, and they said both were delicious. I had the chicken and cheese tortellini and while I am typically not a fan of pesto, this was delicious! It was a plentiful portion too, with more than enough for leftovers later today. Our server and the host were both friendly and welcoming and the ambience of the restaurant is beautiful. We will definitely be back again when our travels take us over to Alfred!

Support Local so they stick around!! I'm so grateful for these guys being in Springvale…read more Bagels are homemade. The Zaatar one is So tasty (Zaatar = herbs & spices)! They have a plant-based cream cheese option now, along with Hummus. Hot and ice coffee available. Local bottled sodas available. They have vegetarian options and some vegan options - I believe the bagels are made with honey and some vegans don't eat honey. They are now open Friday and Saturday evenings with wine/alcohol and Non-alcoholic options. The non-alcoholic options look tasty and have healthier ingredients than most brands out there (good on you guys for paying attention to that!!) They also support local artists displaying their artwork on the walls. Parking: street parking. Both sides. Idk if it's acceptable, but I've parked in the DMV parking lot a couple times. There's also a parking lot behind the library - can walk through the old courthouse walkway area.

The capacity of this restaurant is deceiving from the outside. There is ample seating inside and out. The staff is friendly and clearly invested in making your experience the best it can be.

Great place to stop for smoothies!…read more Located at The Center For Shopping in Sanford, Berryfull is a casual smoothie café serving up a variety of smoothies, acai bowls, light breakfast fare, lunch sandwiches & burgers, snacks, cold bottled drinks, and baked goods. The place is order at the counter or online through Clover and they offer DoorDash here too. There are several tables here to enjoy your drinks and food. I placed an online order for a Creamy Smoothie ($8.50 plus tax) and a House Burger with Home Fries ($15.90 plus tax). The place was quite busy early afternoon as the staff was getting a lot of online order pickup customers coming in. My order was all set in about 15 minutes. The Creamy Smoothie cup (lid stickered shut) was thick and blended with strawberry, peanut butter, vanilla yogurt, pieces of dates, banana. The House Burger was thick and heavy, cooked to my liking, a thick beef patty with melted cheddar cheese, red onion, tomato, lettuce & a creamy aioli dressing on a toasted buttered brioche bun. The home fries were similar to very crisp potato wedges, which were spot on great. I would definitely stop in again if I'm in the area.

Each one was really just a vessel for the ultra sweet frosting that made me super sick. I gave them a shot, ate 6 of them. I don't think I can stomach eating anything else today.
