Food was outstanding. Came out hot fresh and delicious. Biscuits were clearly home made. Had a nice crust to them and tasted moist and fresh. Gravy was excellent and seasoned well. Guest that ate omelette also enjoyed it. Service was fantastic. Excellent choice for breakfast, highly recommended We told them we had never had a whoopie pie before and when we went to order one they gave it to us for free as well! read more

Very friendly and home town feel. The biscuits and gravy were ON POINT! I'm very critical of biscuits and gravy and they literally made it the way it needs to be made. Definitely will recommend to others and would love to come back! Even the coffee didn't feel like gas station coffee but a little more authentic. Love the small town feel! :) read more

Great place for breakfast! Eggs Benedict is amazing! Go early as it gets busy later in the a.m.!

Absolute best stop we made on our trip to Maine! I wish I could pack this place up & take it home with me. This place was like stepping back in time to go eat breakfast at my Papaw's house. Everything about it was fantastic. We had a variety of food, blueberry pancakes, bacon, ham, home fries, hash, eggs, homemade toast & jelly- it was all spot on & just what we needed before the long trip home! The sweet people working the counter, cooking & serving us were so accommodating & considerate. They gave our 1 year old crayons and a little baby fork to eat with. The atmosphere was perfect, it was cozy, inviting & to top it off, the fresh baked goods we purchased as we left were delicious. read more

5 star baked goods, 3 star eggs, this place is small and popular. Little countertop and then some tables. I had eggs, bacon (which I asked for burnt well) , and a homemade biscuit with their homemade raspberry jam, the biscuit and jam were the star of the breakfast show. The bacon only had 1 edible piece. I also split a raspberry coconut muffin grilled with my hubs and that was spectacular, an explosion of soft flavor. We would get baked goods to go next time. My home fries reminded me of my dads growing up literal boiled potatoes cut up zero seasoning and grilled heated but with no char, I liked them prob from a nostalgia standpoint my hubs didn't enjoy read more

The staff are very friendly and go above and beyond to make sure you have a wonderful meal. The food was delicious. I highly recommend getting the country benedict. read more

I am LIVING for this tiny, unassuming cafe. Wow! The place is tiny on the outside on a heavily (for Maine) traffic'd road. Plenty of parking and nicely plowed in the winter. The coffee is good and frequently refilled. Everything from the biscuit and breads to the jam is house made. Omg, the rye toast was incredible and so light. Eggs were scrambled beautifully, and the corned beef hash was both crispy and soft, and definitely not a salty mess. It's no wonder the place is always packed during tourist season. If the great food doesn't impress you, the great service will. read more

My wife and I had breakfast here a couple of days ago. We were looking for something that was local and not a chain. Man, we were not disappointed! The food was excellent, portions were just right and the staff friendly. When we're back to ME from Florida, we will definitely eat here again! You must try the homemade blueberry jam if you go...Amazing! read more

Service was great, food was beyond delicious, and the atmosphere was calm and welcoming. I have passed this place many times on the way to Bangor and never stopped, but finally did last week for a late breakfast. I won't pass it by again. The wait staff is kind and the Greek omelet and home fries were outstanding. read more

This is hole in the wall small town New England good! Had the 3-egg Kitchen Sink omelette and it hit the spot! We also had home fries, eggs Benedict, a biscuit and more! The food was excellent! Service was friendly and fast. We will be back! Only problem is they close early....well 1:00, but I could eat breakfast 24 hours a day! read more

Food was standard, classic breakfast; just the way I like it! At a very reasonable price. Service was friendly, with a smile, and ambiance was very local. read more

Outstanding! An absolute pleasure, service, food and ambience. Ended up leaving with soup to go! Thank you

So cute inside. Real diner feels. Not a ton of seating and it does look like it could be busy on weekends but it's worth a stop. They have specials and home made jam and baked goods to go. Very homey and hits the spot. Way better to go here than ihop or dennys or something like that. read more

Homemade donuts, biscuits, pastry and jam! Everything my party of 5 ordered was expertly prepared and delicious. Charming atmosphere, great service, and prices that can't be beat. read more

The homemade doughnut was fabulous! Our server was great! The place gave a feeling like we were back in the fifties-like a small family owned restaurant that was the locals' favorite hangout. Great coffee! read more

Fresh baked muffins and pastries greet you at the door. Service is friendly and attentive. Their speciality is eggs Benedict. You can ask for home fries. I'm not a potato person. He had the regular and added home fries and I had the Irish Benedict served with corned beef hash. The Hollandaise is just right, not salty or too lemony or cheesy. Yes, other places I've reviewed and one had cheese in their hollandaise. Huh? This is a busy place and quaint, but we were seated fairly quickly. The great thing is it is very reasonable compared to many other places. We'll return. read more

This is a great little cafe. We came on a Sunday morning on our way to Prince Edward Island. We ordered coffee which was served with real half and half (what a concept!). We ordered lemon with our ice water and each received two large slices. For breakfast, I had an egg over easy with sausage links and white toast. The egg was cooked perfectly. The sausage was the best we've had in years. The toast was homemade, hot and buttery, and served with homemade strawberry jam. My husband had the breakfast croissant with ham, cheese, and an egg. It was also delicious. Our bill was under $20, including tip (again, what a concept!). The staff was smiling, friendly, and very helpful. They have their own parking lot with plenty of spaces. We will be back! read more

This place was a cute little side of road breakfast spot: perfect for what we were looking for. It's a local place so it was so homey, everyone seemed to know eachother. It was a nice break from some of the more touristy spots we visited in Maine. We both got the breakfast combo #2, which was 2 eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, and home fries. I would suggest adding onions and peppers to the home fries, I didn't and I regret not adding them for the additional 50 cents. The toast it comes with is also super yummy and the jams are a MUST have. Overall, a great little breakfast spot where you can get a taste of home without breaking the bank. read more

Go here with my grandparents, have a blast of a time. Me and my grandpe like to joke around and laugh. With me and my Nana we like to do word scrambles and so on. I get laughing whenever my Nana yells my grandpe's name. She shouts "STEVEN." I get laughing at that. Not to mention that the food is delicious. It is always a fun time. This is a key thing that can make my day. The waiters/waitresses are really nice and quick with service. read more

Great little place for breakfast and pastries. It's a bit small, so prepare for a cozy space. But, the food and staff make you feel comfortable and at home! My husband and I come here at least once a month for a good breakfast and cup of coffee. Oh and fresh baked muffins on the way out! They have gluten free pastries as well. Highly recommend. read more

This is a must! Great service, great food and super yummy bake goods! The whole family enjoyed this one!

Enjoyed our late breakfast here today. My omelet was very good. Had their homemade raisin bread and bought a loaf to take home. Our server and others were attentive. We observed there was a completely female staff this morning. We love supporting local women owned businesses. The seating was very comfortable and the restaurant and bathroom were both clean which we appreciated. When we posted on fb, our friends quickly asked where the cafe was located. We highly recommended it. As a bonus, they have a nice variety of home baked muffins and individual snack bars for sale too at very reasonable prices. read more

OMG! What isn't there to absolutely love about this wonderful little gem? Food is scrumptious, service is great and it feels like home! I will definitely be back! read more

If you woke up to your grandparents making you breakfast, is the feeling I get here. This local eatery delivers a homemade style breakfast. Its not gourmet but you get what you ask for and it fills you up. The must have, is their homemade jam. The toast is thick and hearty. The jam is the main event, their jam. I wish I knew this prior to coming in. I would've just gotten toast with an assortments of jams. The customer service is great. Simple cooking done right. read more

Visiting from NYC. This got some pretty good reviews. Its decor is nothing special however It is very clean . We had scrambled eggs home fries and sausage. I had the French toast my husband the blueberries pancakes. The eggs were great. Fluffy not over done not plastered like they're making an omelet which drives me crazy. They had an assortment of pastries. I took off 1 stars because their home fries are literally boiled potatoes that are browned a little on a grill. No onion no peppers no flavor. The staff was very pleasant and attentive . I would definitely return. read more

Great food with awesome service. A throwback to breakast diners that everyone can enjoy.

Used to go here a lot years ago and was always satisfied but it's changed. Service and homemade items are still out of this world and it's and it's a great diner atmosphere but a few things that really crimped the visit. 1) parking. It's always been bad but it's grating after all these years. 2) Servings are small. Breakfast served on like 7" plates leaving no room to move anything around. Home fries were way undercooked which is unfortunate since it was half my plate. Again. Service and atmosphere is great but food just "meh" read more

Attention hungry people, this is THE place for breakfast! Local family owned business, great food and coffee, friendly service. Ask for toast and jam. The bread is beautiful thick slices of bakery bread with homemade jam-yes homemade jam!!! We had the blueberry jam (think wild Maine blueberry heaven) which frankly I would eat with a spoon. It's that good!! It's a small place so get there early and be patient, it will be worth the short wait!!! They have coffee and muffins to go too if you don't have time to sit down for a full breakfast. This is a 5-star breakfast and supports local business. We will see you there! :-) read more

Good food, good service. The jelly is yummy as well as all of the items from the menu I have tried.

Some of the best breakfast around. Great prices and always quick. The staff are friendly and everything is homemade.

This is a local place, small and unassuming. But don't let it fool you because the food, service, and price are outstanding. We had breakfast here before flying home from BGR. Best breakfast ever! read more

On our way back from a show at the Civic Center and looking for an off the beaten path breakfast joint. Looked good on Yelp and quaint when we got seated, but it wasn't good. Service was slow, for basic pancakes and eggs, and the food came out in waves. Pancakes were mealy/grainy and the meal overall was very unimpressive. Not sure I've had greasier bacon. And I like grease. I'm a good American. Waitress wasn't unpleasant but certainly not pleasant. None of finished our food and we got a quick stop muffin elsewhere on the road, Dunkin' I think. That was better. read more
