They ran out of marshmallows, and one of the staff members went into the back to look, and the man at the registered offered to call a few stores around Kennebunkport to check for us. Truly kind people. We ended up getting our marshmallows there!

I honestly thought I'd found a hidden gem. Kennebunkport in July is absolute chaos, and somehow…read morethis place was completely empty. I figured I'd hit the jackpot--an egg sandwich, no line, protein, perfect. I ordered an egg sandwich, was told it would take 10-15 minutes, and was asked to come back. No problem. I returned about 10 minutes later and quietly waited while my sandwich was being finished. I was the only customer in the entire place. The employee looked at me and said, "You need to wait outside." Outside? For what? The place was empty. When I asked why, he said it was because it was a small space. At that exact moment, two fellow tourists walked in, heard him tell me to leave, exchanged the universal "nope" look, and immediately turned around and walked back out. I can't say I blamed them. By that point I was so uncomfortable that I asked to cancel my order. He refused. So there I was--banished to the sidewalk in extreme heat, unable to cancel, waiting for my egg sandwich. I'll admit, my imagination started running wild about why I apparently wasn't allowed to witness its preparation. I'm sure there are innocent explanations, but being told to leave an empty restaurant while your food is being made isn't exactly confidence-inspiring. The sandwich itself was...fine. Perfectly ordinary. The proportions were not generous in terms of egg to bread ratio. Definitely not memorable enough to justify the price, and unfortunately I'd already left a tip before the hospitality portion of the experience began. If your business model is "Please leave while we make your food, but also you can't cancel it," you may want to rethink customer service. Kennebunkport has no shortage of places to eat. I'd recommend choosing literally any of the ones where you're allowed to exist indoors while waiting for your breakfast sandwich.

Super convenient location, especially if you're on the go -- but the coffee left a lot to be…read moredesired. We ordered a black coffee and an iced latte, and both were pretty underwhelming. The flavors were flat, and the quality didn't match the price point. If you're in need of a quick caffeine fix, this spot will do the job. But if you're looking for a great cup of coffee or something worth savoring, you might want to look elsewhere.

Bennett's has the most mouth-watering and delectable sandwiches served by the most friendly staff. The staff remembers your order, smiles, and engages you as they take and remember your order. That staff member then personally makes the order and makes sure you receive it timely. Lastly, when dining at Bennett's in the quaint inside or if you are enjoying their fun picnic tables outside during the off-hours, staff will come outside to check on your dining experience. This little restaurant is a diamond in the rough and always hits the spot. They also have a hefty and fresh lobster roll that is second to none and sell their own Bennett's soda which is a nice change of pace from the regular fountain drinks! read more

I've been eating at Bennett's for years and was surprised to learn that the business had been sold. I had been in multiple times this year before learning that there were new owners and I had noticed no difference at all! Great job new owners! We've always loved the sandwiches here and continue to find a great sandwich at a great price. For those unfamiliar with Bennett's, be prepared for a huge sandwich with great ingredients and the best bread you'll ever find on a sub. My favorite is the steak and cheese with onions and peppers; a close second is the cheeseburger sub. I always grab a Bennett's soda while I'm there just to complete the experience. read more

I would have been understanding if the staff had simply acknowledged the mistake and apologized. Instead, I was told that I had only placed the order three minutes ago, which was frustrating and unacceptable. Since the order was entered through the restaurant's system, the staff should have been able to check the register and verify the actual time the order was placed. To avoid situations like this in the future, I would recommend asking customers for their receipts, as the receipt clearly shows the time stamp of the order. What made the experience even more disappointing was that the staff refused to cancel the order or provide a refund, despite the fact that the order had not been prepared in a timely manner. Overall, the issue was not simply the delay--it was the lack of accountability, communication, and customer service in handling the situation.
