    Turkey wrap with spicy horseradish
    Masmin P.

    We stumbled into this little cozy cafe while walking around the Rockport downtown area. It's one of the few places that is open in the winter off-season. Cappuccino and sandwich wraps really hit the spot- we got the turkey wrap and bbq roast beef. Not a lot of seating in the back dining area but it's quite pleasant to sit and enjoy the sea view. Staff is friendly, food and drinks come out quickly. Cash or Venmo only, no credit cards.

    Bean & Leaf is an option for a light lunch when you're visiting the town of Rockport. It's located close to Motif #1 and around a lot of artisan shops. There's walking distance street parking, which is free if you don't go between April 15th and November 15th. They have limited seating indoors but there's a great view of Cape Ann. The entree variety wasn't that diverse, but the selection of home baked desserts looked great. The service was good - I got my food quickly. I ordered the Minestrone, which wasn't seasoned but had lots of fresh vegetables.

    Came to Rockport yesterday and was surprised most places were actually closed, but not Bean & Leaf! We stopped in for a quick bite and it was actually quite busy. I liked how the tables had a nice view of the water too! The girl working there was by herself but she did a great job not only taking orders, but making all the drinks as well as all of the food, so shoutout to her! The drinks were good, food was good. Soup was huge too! And it was tasty, and honestly I'm kinda picky with clam chowder but I liked this one. If I go back I want to try a tea as most people seemed to be ordering them. All in all, a great experience!

    greek salad with a view

    We were just looking for something light for lunch and the Black Dog shop recommended this cute cafe. Shout out to Black Dog! Reviews looked great on yelp, so we decided to try it. We were helped immediately by the gal at the counter when we stepped in. The establishment appeared to be very clean with nice vibes. The windows facing the ocean at the back of the cafe brought in a lot of natural light and drew us in. Very basic menu...but we weren't looking for anything fancy. We both ordered salads, and proceeded to find a table in the back. Not too many options, but that's expected in a small cafe. A nice young guy brought out our salads and we enjoyed them and our oceanfront view. The vegetables were very fresh and you could tell they were kept cool and washed. I'm a very picky salad eater! If you're walking around Rockport, and don't want fried seafood or lobster rolls, I highly recommend this cute cafe. Healthy, clean and super quick service delivered by a friendly staff!

    I only had their avocado toast and it was poor. If there was 1/3 of an avocado on it, I would be surprised. Incredibly poor value.

This is not a fresh scrambled egg but a microwaveable egg you get at fast food places. I would not have ordered this if I knew this is the food quality they serve. However my friend had the salmon bagel and really enjoyed it! Though for the iced coffee we got the morning Grog and it tasted old and tasted slightly artificial. Another aspect to note is my friend needed an outlet to plug in her laptop. All outlets were taken except for a table that had the LED signs plugged in for ambiance. We asked to unplug these and they said we are not allowed to do that. All in not recommend the coffee or egg sandwiches.

One the best donuts I've tried in a while, wish they had a place in Boston so I could try more. They did have limited coffee options, more hot coffees rather than espresso drink. I could a macchiato, their espresso option and it was good! A bit more milk than a normal macchiato so I would say it was a cortado! Will definitely stop in every time I'm in Rockport!

    This was a spur of the moment find on our way to Hammond Castle (also well worth a visit). We were…read morehangry and looking for breakfast-ish options and Source Bakery more than hit the spot. Their menu is centered around the almighty biscuit - biscuits/scones are one of my favorite ways to inhale carbs but they can run on the too bread-y side of the spectrum. These were fantastic: delicate crumb, beautiful golden color, and sturdy enough to hold in all the sandwich fillings. I went with the classic breakfast egg sandwich (scrambled egg, cheese, and arugula) and added sausage. This was one of those rare situations where the bread vehicle outshined the fillings. The egg, while nice and fluffy (and tasted like real egg instead of the diluted mix I've had elsewhere), could have used some more seasoning and was begging for a healthy dollop of ketchup or hot sauce. The only thing that came through strongly was the salt crystals on the top of the biscuit. Tried a bite of my husband's chicken salad on a cheddar/onion biscuit and had the same reaction - the biscuit overpowered everything else. Not that I'm complaining. The bakery is on a side street off the busier, more touristy Rogers Street. I had this idea too late but next time I'm in Gloucester, I'd take a biscuit sandwich to the beach area along Western Ave. The cafe itself is very, very cute, with little nooks and crannies everywhere for seating and even a comfy looking couch. Bathroom was clean. We found a parking lot one street over in the other direction.

    I grew up in Boston and went with family to Cape Ann many times. I recently met my cousins for a…read morefew nights and we stopped by this place our hotel recommended. What a mistake. All 3 of us ordered the egg sandwich. It's cooked egg (like a puck) on 2 slices of plain bread with about 1 teaspoon of cheese that is such a small amount that it doesn't cover most of the egg. That's it. Not enough cheese, no butter, no salt, no pepper. Nothing. They don't even toast the bread. If we had tasked our 6 year old nephew to making us egg sandwiches, this is what he would hand us. My cousins had coffee. One hot and the other cold. Hot reportedly is pretty good and the iced is not very strong. I ordered an iced tea. When iced tea is made fresh from actual tea (a good thing), then sits in the fridge for 6 or 7 days (a bad thing), it gets a very distinctive stale taste and that's exactly what this iced tea had. It was old and stale. I threw it away and since the egg sandwich was so dry, I pulled a bottle of water I had in my beach tote to wash it down. My cousin asked the friendly staffer (super friendly, actually, so a shout out to them) for some salt and this turned into a task. She had to ask someone else and that person had to go off somewhere to get some from a plastic container. If you're going to serve unseasoned food, have salt available, please. I ordered a croissant, which was OK and my other cousin ordered a blueberry slab dessert that was smothered in so much icing that it was sickeningly sweet. We joked that eying it from the side, the icing was thicker than the pastry itself. One of us grabbed a knife and tried to scrape some off to no avail. It fell apart, none of us wanted any more and we tossed most of it. I like to support small businesses, but this was not a good experience for us.
