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.

I arrived earlier and there was a short line. There was about a ~10 minute wait for the order to be completed. I ordered the Northshore, lemon blueberry scone, and cold brew. I'd never seen maple aioli on anything before so I was intrigued. I devoured the sandwich within a few short minutes. It was absolutely delicious. The lemon blueberry scone was perfect - not dry and the lemon flavor / glaze was amazing. I was only in town for a day, but I would 100% go back and have Crave as my first breakfast option if I'm ever back in the area.

I really enjoyed the sandwich. The bacon was as thick and crispy and I found the sandwich to be very filling. There was a line but the wait was not long and our order was ready under 10 minutes.

I don't know if people realize how exceptional the quality is at this bakery! I visit a lot of…read morebakeries when I travel, and I already can't wait to go back to this spot just an hour away from Boston. They make a great biscuit, and I love how many seasonal items they have. In October I had the MOST delicious delicata spinach feta caramelized onion quiche, even at room temp. I got there around 10:45 on a Saturday and just beat a long line. Note the cinnamon rolls were gone by then. They had a ton of good looking seasonal hand pies and tarts as well. There wasn't any seating left, so I took my treats to go. The cranberry pear crumble was phenomenal- truly one of the best things I've ever eaten- and left at room temp the masterful layers in the crust were still crisp even the next day! My husband got a pumpkin muffin, which was very lightly spiced and had a moist crumb. Back in the summer we tried a very good zucchini pecan muffin, but there were not many options left at 1:00 on a weekend. In terms of coffee, they use Broadsheet beans. The cold brew is very strong. They don't use Oatly, but the oat milk cappuccino I got was still good (strong, but perfect once I added a little more oat milk) & at $4.75 it's totally reasonable! This really is a special place, and worth the trip if you are visiting the Rockport or Gloucester area! Be sure to check their hours on IG as they close for summer vacation.

Stopped by for a quick breakfast. The service was fast and there was plenty of seating inside…read more There's paid parking out front or if you don't mind walking you may be able to find a free spot a bit further out. Let me say that the biscuit itself was 5/5. It was crispy on the outside and soft and buttery on the inside and it was massive. The biscuit was definitely the star of the show. We got the breakfast sandwich which had egg, cheese and arugula but I found it to be lacking in flavor overall. I think next times I'd prefer a plain biscuit or to order one with just jam and butter instead of the sandwich.

What I found was an oasis of superb coffee, remarkable food, great service, and a fine dining experience (even for someone just off a motorcycle.) My large Cappuccino was hot, tasty, and seemingly bottomless. Expertly crafted and delivered. My Egg White Green Omelet was unlike any other omelet I have consumed. Loaded with vegetables and just enough cheese, it was warm throughout and (like my coffee) expertly crafted. I noticed a steady stream of customers coming in for drinks and breakfast items. I can see why. My meal was very modestly priced given the quality, quantity, preparation, and service. There was enjoyable music playing, and the dining space (and restroom) is very tastefully decorated and spotless. I ride this route a few times a year and now have a GoTo place for breakfast (or lunch!)

There was a decent number of people in there for a Wednesday at 11:30 yet still plenty of seating available when we walked in. The space is homey and comfortable. There is a good mix of both breakfast and lunch dishes. Lots of American classics on both sides, yet quite a few dishes have Greek influence since the diner is owned by the same family who owns Kouzina next door. I ended up ordering breakfast while my mom ordered lunch. She got the mushroom Swiss burger. I got the Wrap Me In Greece, a breakfast burrito wrap stuffed with egg, loukaniko sausage, potatoes, tomatoes and feta cheese. My mom seemed to enjoy the burger. Granted she had to remove half of the toppings in order to actually eat it. The Wrap Me In Greece was tasty, I especially liked the loukaniko sausage in it as it has an interesting flavor. I wished the home fries were seasoned a little bit more, and though it was nothing a little salt and pepper couldn't fix. Overall Full Circle Diner is a satisfying spot for breakfast and lunch and I look forward to returning and trying more.
