    Very popular breakfast spot in Ogunquit, so we had to try it! We sat at the enclosed porch, as we had our dog with us. Service was excellent and attentive. A lovely menu, and a lovely view towards a creak. High stools on a bar table wasn't very comfortable, but sort of worked out in the end. Food was nice and I liked that the omelette was accompanied but amazingly seasoned home fries. You should visit. It's an experience in Ogunquit, and you should get your own opinion about the place. Heads up: only 2 parking spots, so first come first served. Also, waiting line (no reservations). Also, closes at 11 am. So, early breakfast only ...

    Tasty little breakfast in Ogunquit! Beautiful walk to get there and calm area. Such a sweet place! Great service and excellent food. More traditional (no fancy coffees) but still highly recommend! We went first thing in the morning on a weekday and no wait! Plus, the plates are so cute.

    Lobster Benedict- delicious!

    A tiny little gem in Ogunquit. Very popular and quite small - so be prepared to wait - but definitely worth it. The service was fast and friendly and the food was spectacular- especially loved the Lobster Benedict and the Blueberry Muffins.

    Cute and quaint little breakfast spot, good for a classic American breakfast. Nothing groundbreaking in terms of quality but the ambience and view made up for that. Service was nice and quick as well.

    Lobster Benedict

    Absolutely amazing! Stopped in while in town enjoying a relaxing vacation. The food was delicious, I got the lobster Benedict which was delicious! We also had the blueberry French toast to share. The service was great, very friendly and helpful.

    Driving back from Phippsburg, I wanted one last stop in Maine before I ended my solo long weekend trip. Ogunquit won the coin toss. Luckily there was no way at 7:30 on a Sunday morning. Sat right down and ordered a sausage cheese, tomato, spinach, and onion omelette. It came with toast and home fries. The omelette ingredients were so fresh and I ate every single bite that was on my plate. Parking is down near the Cove and drawbridge and it was six dollars an hour to park. There are two dedicated parking spots for the restaurant, but those are extremely hard to come by as you can imagine. Great town great family owned restaurant delicious food. It was the perfect way to end my solo long weekend.

    Hands down my favorite breakfast in Ogunquit. If you're here during the season ( they close by Columbus Day), you MUST get up early and try this place. In fact, I came here twice during a 5 day stay. Pro tip: get here early. They open at 7am and close by 11:30. No call aheads, no reservations. Check their Facebook page for latest hours. Prepare to wait for large parties. The Lobstah Benny is the most delicious item.

    Our family walked to the Cove Café for breakfast this morning. It was great! We had delicious French toast with cream cheese and blueberry sauce. We also had a really good crabcake Benedict with spicy seasonings. The omelette was nice, and the grilled blueberry muffin was excellent. Great service, a small café with a moderate wait. We had a good time.

    Is there still outdoor seating? Or are they back to only indoor?

    There were seats outside when we went, but were not serving outside that day.

Admittedly we wanted to go to the Cove Cafe but the line was SO long and I really wanted to try their homemade corned beef so when I saw that this menu had homemade corned beef I said "lets give it a shot!" so I grabbed the Irish Benedict and my fiance grabbed something on the specials menu, which was a stuffed French toast brioche. Food came out pretty quickly and we couldnt wait to dig in! My Irish Benedict was a 5/5, amazing!! They gave me so much corned beef under my egg, which was a perfectly runny center, and a smooth hollandaise. The potatoes that came with it were perfectly seasoned as well. Every bite, I was so happy. Literally was exactly what I wanted that morning. Now, my fiances French toast wasn't as good. We expected thick pieces of bread, oozing with flavor and a thicker filling. Unfortunately what we got looked to be 2 thinner pieces of maybe sourdough bread with a thinner filling that almost leaked out the sides. The lemon filling and blueberries on top just gave everything a very tart flavor. It was good, dont get me wrong, but not great. So that was a 3/5 for us. Overall if we are back in the Ogunquit area, we are definitely having breakfast here! There was plenty of parking, a nice outdoor patio and great staff.

The mocha just didn't taste quite right, and while the iced coffee wasn't bad, it wasn't anything that stood out. I'd be willing to give the coffee another try, though. That said... the sandwiches are AMAZING. I built my own with roast beef, and they were incredibly generous with the deli meat. The sourdough bread was absolute perfection. They also offer free WiFi with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great spot to work remotely or enjoy lunch. I spent about three hours here and would definitely come back. One thing to keep in mind: they're right in the center of town, so it stays busy. There was a line nearly the entire time I was there, but don't let that discourage you. Even with the line, both my drinks and food were ready within just a few minutes of ordering. Great service despite the crowds!
