Blueberry French toast. So good!
Dave D.

I loved everything about this little breakfast restaurant. Service was excellent and the food was even better!

Stella K.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We grabbed a couple seats near the piano player after ordering drinks at the bar. I had the Lavender Lemon Drop and it was ice cold and delicious. We also tried the Death Drop Martini, which was just as good. It was made with Casamigos Mezcal, passionfruit liqueur purée, fresh lime, and a tajin rim. The female pianist was incredibly talented, the crowd was friendly, and the atmosphere made it easy to hang out for a while. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to.

Calamari was crispy, but not very seasoned. Decent sweet potato fries. Server was attentive but zero personality. Dining space was nice, much quieter vibe than upstairs. Second floor is where the piano bar is, first come first served, and the line moved quickly. It was lively, a bit of a cluster. Piano player did a good job catering to Millennials to Boomers, even mashing up a bit between the Killers, Kings of Leon, and Blink 182, which was cool. But the bartender was a miss, very hasty - drinks were poorly mixed and he broke 2 glasses while we were seated at the bar, yikes!

Columbus weekend, my first time in Ogunquit with my husband on…read moreour anniversary, we didn't make any reservations for dinner, thinking it's off season, in a beach town, not too busy. After hopping from restaurant to restaurant, all booked up, we walked in the Crooked Pine to find a waitlist inside the restaurant as well. They had seating outdoors and, given no other choice we agreed. What a treat!! We were seated by the fire, Frank Sinatra was singing in the background, string lights above us - couldn't be happier, we loved everything. I had the Lobster papardelle, and my husband had the stuffed cod, both were incredibly flavorful and savory. I would come back here anytime!

What we ordered: -Cornbread: 3/5, great portion to share with the table and piping hot which I loved but wish it was moister and had more honey on top. -Caesar salad: 5/5, incredibly fresh, dressing was delicious and evenly spread among the whole salad, fresh anchovies on top were a nice touch -Crabcakes: 4.8/5, only comes with 2 but the cakes were very fresh and flavorful. The corn on top was very boring I wish they spiced it up a bit but it did not take away from the flavor of the cakes so I kept the score high. -Lobster Pappardelle: 5/5, one of my favorite meals we ate on vacation!! Generous lobster portion with perfectly cooked pappardelle in a very tasty sauce. I already miss it and wish I could eat it again. -Braised Short Rib: 3.8/5, beautiful presentation and everything tasted great but very small polenta/carrot portions and I wish the meat was more tender. It wasn't bad, it just didn't blow my socks off. -Espresso crème brûlée: 4.5/5, was the perfect birthday dessert for my boyfriend and he absolutely loved it. Quality espresso flavor, wish it was a little crispier on top. Food was ~4/5 but our overall experience was 5/5. Our server, Pedro, was so friendly and helped us with dish recommendations. When I told him we were celebrating a birthday, he brought the crème brûlée out with a candle and two other staff members to sing to him which was so sweet. We will definitely come back here next time we're in town!

We didn't wait that night, but I thought I had to come back another time to see what the hype was about. Came back tonight 9/14/26 and I left extremely disappointed. The lobster bisque had no lobster pieces in it whatsoever. For $12 I would expect at least a few small pieces. Our server was miserable. The restaurant was pretty quiet for a Monday night and I just felt she was taking her time. She didn't even introduce herself, came over to give waters and said do you need more time? She came back a little while later and just stood there- not even a "what can I get for you?" When she returned with our meals she hovered my plate in front of me awkwardly and I didn't know if she wanted me to take it or if she was going to put it down. I awkwardly took the plate to place it down and it was a hot plate. Maybe my fault but not knowing what she was doing put me in a weird place. The salmon was fair but overall I just felt that everything lacked seasoning. My husband got the Jackie's Favorite and said it was just "meh". Wasn't seasoned very well and promised bread crumbs on it which seemed to be missing. My husband also ordered a rosé to enjoy with dinner. It was forgotten so we reminded her. As my husband was pretty much finished with dinner, she came with it. I'm very disappointed with my experience and won't be back. Sad service and overpriced, lackluster food.

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.
