This place looks lovely and I wish I came there later than 7:45am because they had no food. I ordered dill cheddar scone and iced latte with almond milk. Scone was ok I didn't even finish it but the way they made iced late for me was hilarious. Latte is espresso shot + steamed milk if it's hot and Ice + cold milk for iced latte. I was watching barista while she was pouring something looking like cold brew in my glass, then she pours some almond milk and after she steaming additional small amount of almond milk and pours it in my glass as well. This mixture tasted disgusting. I didn't taste any coffee at all. Just had one sip and left this lovely place. Maybe I'll give it a try when I'm back in Belfast. Not coffee though, but their food selection. read more

We were sat at our table and had chosen our breakfast quite quickly, and put our menus at the edge of the table. It took our server 20 minutes to acknowledge us, and 10 more before we could place our order. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time like 15 minutes or so and looked beautiful. I ordered the breakfast burrito. Sadly it mostly tasted like potato and was blan. I would have asked for hot sauce or something to spice it up but we had to take our food to go as by the time the food hit the table it had been almost an hour of waiting for breakfast. Thankfully the host dropped off coffee while we waited. read more

My sister and I (both vegetarians) were very happy to randomly run into this place on our way north up the coast, and made sure to catch it again on the way back. There is definitely a noticeable wait (we hit it at the tail end of lunch each time), but that goes with the territory. I don't mind making conversation. Smoothies were ok, the Thai Tofu/Rice dish was great, the tacos were excellent. The egg salad sandwich was good (4 stars?) and the salad was also solid (esp for someone that doesn't like greens). The carrot cake cupcake for desert was 4 stars. More importantly, they were interesting dishes and not the staid fare you find most places, so a good catch. read more

The food at Chase's Daily lives up to its reputation. My semolina French toast with real maple syrup was so good I couldn't suppress my moans and the breakfast burrito with scrambled tofu and corn tortillas was a perfect protein-packed gluten-free vegetarian brunch option, something incredibly hard to come by at restaurants in these parts. My partner's huevos rancheros were...interesting...but good. We've also tried the french toast with sesame seed bread, and it's almost as incredible as the semolina. And an egg sandwich with chard on sesame seed bread. The chard didn't really work for my partner's palette, but the meal was still hearty and the bread divine. At our last visit, we also took home a loaf of rosemary polenta bread and it was scrumptious. The service at Chase's is a bit hit or miss. The first time we visited, the service was abysmal. Despite there being three waitstaff on the floor and a third of the tables empty, we stood at the Wait to be Seated sign alone for almost ten minutes, without any acknowledgment from anyone. The servers just kept averting their eyes and taking care of other things. A host or hostess would have made a big difference. When we were finally seated, we were given the worst, most bitter undrinkable coffee I've ever had in my life. It took 45 minutes for our breakfast to be served to us and in that time, our waitress never checked on us, never offered us more coffee, never apologized for or explained the delay, never asked if we needed anything. Every single other person in the restaurant, including *ten* people who ordered after us got their meals and most had finished and paid their checks by the time our food arrived--missing our side of toast (although that did appear on the bill). The waitress was nice enough, but really spacey and better suited to working in a head shop or maybe taking tickets at a movie theater. She totally reminded us of Ursula. We went back, of course, because the food is beyond belief and the location is lovely. On our second visit, we came prepared. We brought the paper to pass the time while we waited, and we bought a delicious (although sort of burnt) muffin and some of the bitter coffee to help stave off hunger while we waited for our table--and then our meal. This time, there was a host who was totally on top of things. He took our names and told us how long the wait would be, and once we were seated, we were able to order promptly. The wait for our food was long, but we were well-looked-after while we waited. (Lots of offers for the bad coffee and a friendly server.) We'll go back (and back and back) because the food is so *tremendously* good and because the atmosphere is comfortable and happy, and because we love what Chase's Daily is doing, but we will always, at least for brunch, lament the coffee, and either buy or bring a snack, and the paper. Armed with these things, Chase's becomes the perfect spot for brunch. read more

I agree with Olivia's report. The food is great, but the service stinks! One time we waited 45 minutes for a waitress to take our order, and another 30 minutes to get our food - the food is good, but not THAT good. We've visited three times, and each time it has been just as slow. I don't think they have enough waitresses, or perhaps not a fast enough cook?, or perhaps they are cruising on their good reputation and thus don't care if the customer has to wait. (This doesn't include the wait to get seated - at lunch time, that can be up to 30 minutes. I am referring to the wait AFTER we are seated.) It is unfortunate, because the food is good, but the wait too long, so we no longer go there to eat. read more

Best breakfast I have ever had. It really is that simple. I am no leaf peeping tourist rube either. My chard and egg sandwich (on caraway rye) was great, but the wife smartly ordered the omelette of the day. Amazing. I felt like NEO in the matrix. I have finally experienced the real world. Let me be clear, I have a CSA. I compost. My grocery of choice used to be the union square farmers market. I have pickled things. I know my s***. This place still had some things to teach me about veggies. Go to Maine. Eat here. Be warned the hours are asinine. They only actually serve dinner one day a week and breakfast two days a week. The rest of the time they have pastries and coffee. If this place had actually served food everyday, I would have eaten there everyday I was in Maine. read more

Good food, but bad service staff. Stock Up hippies who don't have any service skills. The dishes are pricey too

Stopped in Belfast on the way to Acadia and found a great surprise in Chase's for lunch! Fresh, delicious ingredients for a family of vegetarians! read more

Awesome breakfast burrito this morning! Very crowded this morning but well worth the wait. Won't be needing lunch today that's for sure.

The food was pretty good, but the not so subtle political artwork attacking Republican voters was not good at all ("shame on you monsters", if memory serves). If you wish to judge me you get no more of my money. read more

LOVED it. Ate breakfast here my first day in town. Coffee was wonderful. Eggs cooked perfect. Thick sliced made on premise toasted raisin toast was BEST I have ever eaten. Went back day three and four and bought loaves of the bread. It was AMAZING. There was a bit of a wait on Sunday morning to get seated but now I know why. I am NOT a vegan nor vegg but loved it. Will be back next summer on my next vacation!!!!!!! read more

nestled in the small town of belfast, maine with a view of the ocean and the sounds of the town on all sides. chase's daily is a gem. an all vegetarian menu rests neatly beside a row of freshly baked breads and facing a wall of paintings from their own in house "perimeter gallery" . {who's best show bi-annual show "small works" was up last time i visited} most of the produce is grown on the chase's own farm. and tuesday thru saturday during the summer the back of the house becomes a farmers market full of fresh cut flowers, veggies, honey and coffee beans. if you are around for the weekend try not to miss the very special once a week "friday night dinners". a menu to rival even the hippest small new york bistro and all with a great local atmosphere. a mom and pop to knock yr. socks off! read more

Quick, delicious, fresh local ingredients... so tasty! I loved all the produce and flowers for sale in the back, too!

Unfortunately, it is about an hour away from my Georgetown, Me. home........Oherwise ,I would be eating there multiple times a week!!!!!! Best pizza I have ever had. Actually, any entree I have had there just might be the best ever!!!!!!!!!! All so healthy and delish!!!!!!! Herbal, fresh,appealing, Did I say scrumptious??????????! Great Bakery as well and great atmosphere..... read more

The food at lunch was exquisite, but the process of getting it was miserable. At 2pm on a weekday we waited in line at the counter for twenty minutes as each set of customers at the head of the line dithered interminably over choosing their meals. Once we were at the counter it was like we were invisible. Several staff wandered past without acknowledging our existence while two others engaged in an extended personal conversation. Many of the prepared items were unlabeled. When a staffer finally come to our assistance and we asked what an item was, he leaned into the case and poked at it with his (gloved) finger as we held our breath hoping that the beads of sweat on his forehead would not drip onto the sandwiches below. After that, getting seated and getting water were also difficult. The food was worth the hastle and I would eat it again and again, but the service robs two stars from the overall experience. read more

I admit it -- I like pork products with my breakfast. You won't find those items here and, believe it or not, I did not miss them on our first visit. It was only during our second visit that I realized, "no meat?!" I'm not a brightest bulb some mornings but, hey, I was on vacation. All in all, we thought the baked goods with coffee were the way to go. Easy place to recommend as long as you don't have a craving for bacon! read more

If I lived in Belfast I would eat here at least once a week and every night I would dream of the pancakes. It's close to my ideal restaurant. If only they'd make Chocolate Cork like Standard Bakery in Portland. read more

Belfast can be or seem boho or casual. There is a hippy vibe that runs through the town. A coop, a green store before green was cool havee been there for years. At Chases its the same feel. The wait staff have a its summer let it flow freely look. No hi my name is eugene or camille i will be your server today. Yeah yeah its vegie but so what. Theu make a beet salad with blue cheese that is awesome. White bean mash with grilled onions. Amazing. Wooden tables wooden floors old grange hall feel. Whats not to love. So what if you have to wait or service is slow. Stop and taste the food, enjoy the people show and forget about your digital addiction. Its a groovy place read more

So it takes you a little bit by surprise. A brooklyn-y establishment in Belfast. Hmmm... and vegetarian super-friendly! Yippie! The baked goods are ridiculous so of course we ate everything. So totally worth the 1 hour wait for lunch! read more

Nice staff, but food was only average. I received a hot chai in a normal water glass, the glass was so hot that I could not pick it up after 15 minutes. I finally requested an alternate cup. I order the pasta marinara, it was good, but nothing special. read more

Homie healthy cuisine, lovely cheese, friendly service, definitely not to miss when visiting Belfast.

Great farm fresh comfort food. Just wish they were open for dinner more than one day a week.

Trendy spot! Farm-to-table fresh food, cute little farmer's market in the back, and delicious bakery!

I love it. Friendly staff, good atmosphere, and simple yet delicious food. If you're in the area, this is where you have to eat! I especially like the egg salad that has olives and curry in it, as well as the soup of the day- chilled beet soup. Yum! Thank you read more

Again a wonderful vegetarian meal. We shared the fried rice, ordered a side order of roasted greens and a side order of roasted root vegetables. Then we went in the back and bought beautiful produce to take home. I love Chases Daily. read more

Stopped in Belfast and fell in love with this place! Traveling all the way from Asheville NC, we have a huge appreciation for how they do business. Straight up great ingredients that are cooked and served by people who get it. Thanks for doing what you do... From NC to ME. read more

I really anticipated having breakfast there but was very disappointed. First, they could use some signage, no table or counter service during the week. I got a Gruyere/tomato tart and a custard bun plus juice. Had to bus a spot at the counter to make room. With no footstop, I kept sliding off the slippery stool. (short legs) . The cheese tomato tart was burnt on one side and burnt completely underneath. Bottom crust inedible. Flavor fair. The custard bun was outstanding. Other baked goods were available but everything looked dry and over baked. Won't be back. In October there are no fresh veggies so that may make a difference. read more

Superb food, great service, best bread for miles. And that vegetables they sell in the back? To die for. I am a fan from day one and have eaten there many times, even if it takes 45 minutes to drive to Belfast from where I live. And they have really good coffee too. Highly recommend. read more

Other Yelp reviewers lured us into downtown Belfast on our way thru to other destinations and we were glad we went. The food was excellent and not a single thing we ordered disappointed. We had the cheese plate, curry fried rice, and pasta of the day. The vegetables were really fresh and flavors were incredible. Even the coffee was good. The wait was really long at noon on a Friday, but wouldn't expect that all the time. We'll definitely go back. By the way, downtown Belfast is worth some extra time too. We had no idea it was there!! read more

Would have loved to stay for lunch. Yummy bakery items instead. No produce today which was our purpose for stopping on our road trip/camping trip, ah well. The co-op was just out back across the street so no worries. read more

I love this place: baked goods, art, and organic veggies. The service is slow, for sure. Be prepared. But the young folks are nice and do their best, and the food is good. Muffins sell out early! read more

I've never had anything here that I didn't like. The food is really fresh and vegetarian friendly. The atmosphere is funky and cozy. The waiters and waitresses are always friendly even when they're stressed. Plus, there's a market in the back where you can buy fresh baked goods and some locally grown vegetables. Chase's does get very busy on weekend mornings and the customers do tend to linger a bit so be prepared to possibly wait to be seated. read more

The best breakfast around. Great coffee, seasonal vegetables, great homemade toast. Beautiful space and casual atmosphere.

The place was busy, I'll grant Chase Daily that. But the service was very slow. Slow enough that I asked my Wife to text me when the food was ready so I could take the kids out for a walk because we waited so long. The waitstaff never stopped by to refill the drinks, never stopped by to let us know how things were going. Basically ignored my Wife as she tried to ask if everything was okay in the kitchen until she could tell us that we were up next. It was about 45 minutes from ordering to be served. When we asked about the time, they said that this was typical. Aside from the long wait and not overly warm waits staff, there are some good things to say about the menu. The menu is limited, but very diverse. Lot of items looked and interesting. The menu is all veggie, no meat. The food very good. Everyone was very pleased with their order. Although, they did neglect to hold the basil from the pizza that we order. It was disappointing to wait that long and have something wrong, but at that point, we just wanted the food. Aside from the pizza goof, the food was good. As good as the food was and as much as I liked the local sourced aspect of their menu, the wait was long enough for me to not want to go back. I'll try other places in Belfast before going back again. read more

We just beat the lunch crowd, even thought it was really early. I can see that it would be a challenge to get served properly when busy. But my lunch pasta and cappuccino were both great. The place was enchanting with the great high ceilinged space and gorgeous veggies for the sale in the back. We're not vegetarians but in no way missed meat on the menu - great use of veggies, cheese etc. read more

If I could give Chase's Daily 6 stars, I would. Every summer when we go to Maine, Chase's is our first stop. Its all-vegetarian cuisine is so good that even I, a self-proclaimed carnivore, don't notice the absence of meat. Their omelets are sublime, and the pizza margherita is the best I've had anywhere. Make sure to order the iced tea: an exquisite blend of peppermint and earl grey that makes you grateful for the free refills. Don't forget to check out the fresh produce and baked goods in the back of the restaurant, too! Great for the whole family, from infant to grandmother. A wonderful atmosphere, delicious food, warm people. You'll want to come back every day. read more

So this was our first trip to this restaurant and needless to say it left a very disappointing taste in my mouth. We went down with a couple other friends, there was 4 of us and they don't take reservations unless you're at least a party of 6, which ultimately would have been fine. We get there and they were busy but had several open tables. We ask the guy about the wait after we finally tracked someone down and the guy said "well I have no idea how long the wait is going to be and seemed like we were more of an inconvenience for wanting to have dinner in his establishment. There was also snyde remarks from some of the wait staff saying " it is what it is and just deal with it". He told us to go walk around for a bit until a table opens up so we did, we went next door to get a drink which was about 10 minutes. Came back only to find that the table he was holding for us was seated with another party. Then we got another response on how he's not sure how long the wait is going to be again. At this point we decided to leave and go to a restaurant that would appreciate our business and make us feel wanted! This was my first and last attempt to try this restaurant.....definitely won't go back. read more

My wife and I did a road trip honeymoon through Massachusetts and up the coast of Maine. We read the glowing reviews on Yelp about Chase's and made a two day stop in Belfast. The reviews did not lie. And Chase's did not disappoint. Chase's is THE place to get delicious gourmet farm fresh vegetarian food. We were there for lunch and brunch, both were soooooo tasty. Get there early, if you don't want to wait (I don't think they take reservations for lunch/breakfast). If you do wait, I promise, it's well worth it. We unfortunately missed out on the Friday dinner because they were booked solid :-( Apparently, the word is out, Chase's is *the* place to go for Friday night dinner. Make your reservations early! They also have a back bakery/coffee shop where they sell pastries and Chase Farm produce. read more

Chases is good for local. And there is a lot of good stuff on the menu. But nothing that "pops" about most of the food combos. There is minimal variety but you can find something for everyone. Unfortunately the price for the portion is disproportionate. Terrifically expensive for very little amount of food. The baked good counter is the saving grace. There you can find some good items. Mostly it is the experience of small town feel and excellent service. I would do a breakfast there again, but not dinner. Unless someone else was paying. read more

Best omelet (at Sunday brunch) that we have had anywhere. While we had to wait for a table, wait staff was very good. Nice shopping until table opened up. We always make plans to eat here when in Belfast. read more
