Been meaning to check out Finest Kind for quite some time and today was finally that day! They have a good amount of street parking nearby. It's a spot that you order at the counter and you get a number and everything is delivered to your table. Menu wise they have a good variety that I think everyone will find something to their liking. Even showing up a little after opening we ordered right away and grabbed the perfect corner table. The vibes inside were perfect for a relaxing cozy breakfast. You could have a wait but I suspect it would be minimal. Both my wife and I got the Pumpkin Cold Foam Cold Brew and it tasted phenomenal. Just the right amount of sweetness and the cold brew was smooth with a hint of citrus. They had some other great sounding speciality coffee drinks too. Food wise I got their breakfast burrito called Dorado Supreme that had pork belly carnitas with eggs, cheese, avacado, hash brown and some more. Was such a tasty breakfast burrito and I look forward to coming back for it. My wife got their single slice of French toast that used challah bread and it was the perfect French toast she was craving. She got a side of maple bacon too and it was just sweet enough with just the right crisp. Food and drinks were delivered so quickly and we had zero complaints! One of our favorite spots we have had breakfast at recently. Check this spot out if you are local or visiting! Worth taking a trip to come here. read more

Finest Kind is a true hidden gem and one of our favorite discoveries during our Maine getaway. Every bite was memorable, from the indulgent treats and beautifully crafted coffee to the standout Dorado Supreme and avocado toast--both absolutely worth ordering. The space strikes the perfect balance of cozy and inviting, while the warm, genuinely friendly staff made us feel right at home. The kind of place you stumble upon by chance and immediately start planning your next visit to. A must-stop when in Maine! read more

Pictures could never do this burger justice- probably the best burger I've ever had and I've tried a lot of burgers! "Brunch Burger" quarter pounder smash patty, Cooper sharp cheese, bacon-onion jam, sunny side up egg, a hashbrown, pickles and tallow mayo fancy sauce on a homemade brioche bun. I've never finished a burger bun and all but this one was absolutely devoured! My husband said that his wrap was great too. Their lattes are great and the staff was nice. Highly recommend trying them! If we were on vacation longer I would have tried the whole menu! read more

Had such a good breakfast at Finest Kind last weekend! This spot was so cute in a very sweet little town square. I had never heard of it before and have been visiting the Saco area for years so maybe it's new!? Either way, it was so yummy! I got a maple latte and eggs Benedict, as well as a coconut donut that was to DIE for. My partner got an iced chai with an espresso shot and some hash browns. Everything was great and despite it being busy, the flow of the space and the service worked so well! Will definitely be back when I am in the area again :) read more

Excellent food and service in a bright and cheery space. It is cozy (read as limited seating) so go early if you have more than 2 people). The french omelette and french toast are amazing and I definitely plan to go again! read more

Stopped here on our way home from Portland. The ordering process was well organized and went smoothly. We were seated outside and the food was brought to us quickly. We also had the snowbird, the Danny Boy and the Golden Crisp waffle. The matcha coconut cold brew was delicious as were the hot latte and cappuccino. We will be coming back every time we visit this area!! read more

Finest Kind - The Garden Benny. Probably one of the most scrumptious Bennie's I've ever had!! Light and so tasty! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Saco, Maine

First of all the girl at the "hostess" desk was incredibly nice & efficient.I ordered a Caesar chicken wrap. I honestly hate when I have to negatively critique a food item at such a well respected little restaurant in Saco Maine. This Caesar chicken wrap for $17.00 was the worst Caesar wrap I have ever had. It pains me to say that. I will be back to try their luscious looking pastries along with any of their breakfast items that I have heard such wonderful things about. read more

This is honestly my favorite place to get an AMAZING all freshly/homemade breakfast. You can taste every ingredient in the sausage patties. The hashbrowns are nowhere near basic, they are a MUST! The cretons toast is delectable and has no place being so perfect. It's not just the food though, the atmosphere and the staff are worth the stop alone. Please do NOT pass this place up. read more

Stopped in for some breakfast to go, the burrito was delicious! Definitely would go back. It was a cozy atmosphere and would love to dine in next time. read more

An absolute gem! Every single bite was so good and made fresh. Didn't get a picture of the mimosas but trust me it was so good. The first bite of the coconut donut literally made my eyes roll from tasting what i believed to be a bit of heaven. Eggs were fluffy and flavorful. Canadian bacon to die for! And let's talk about that homemade English muffin and jam (insert drool emoji here). Don't just go here, RUN here! Space is small, 7 tables w a small bar area looking out to the small quaint town. A bit of heaven tucked away in Saco Maine. read more

A solid breakfast, one of the best I've had in Maine. Their hash browns were super crispy and were perfect as the "bun" of my sandwich. The brisket was pretty bomb, and I left soo full. It's a very healthy portion. My partner got the french omelette which was amazing as well. Just melted in your mouth, they nailed the execution, and the delicious mushrooms that are served with it were real tasty too. I follow a gluten free diet so it was nice how accommodating they were! Plenty of options, especially if you like hash browns. We drove like an hour to come here and I know we will again, soooo worth it. read more

Super cute place, wish we could've sat down to eat, but we were just stopping by for a road trip breakfast. LOVED the hashbrowns. I was skeptical of the price of the breakfast sandwich, but it's HUGE. I would've preferred it without the extra toppings, and with some hot sauce instead. I know when I see Yellowbird offered at a place, I'm going to like them. Wish there would've been a breakfast burrito option with the hashbrowns inside. It looks like they might've had one in the past. I prefer this style of restaurant where you order at the counter and seat yourself. Would be a regular spot if we didn't live 13 hours away! read more

Great breakfast brunch food and very good pastries. Everyone handmade. I had eggs Benny and my son had avocado toast. Very large servings. I got a maple glazed twisted donut and my son got a cinnamon roll. read more

Delicioso! We started at the pastry counter and sampled one of Victoria's savory cinnamon buns, which did not disappoint. We both had the iced coffee, which was absolutely delicious. Not sure where the beans were from but it was the best iced coffee we've ever had. Don't let the lines scare you off as there is seating inside, counter seating along the window (which we love) and seating outdoors (enjoy a passing train). The tables turn over quickly as the staff is fantastic and attentive to the patrons. read more

I love a good brunch spot. I was really craving a Monte Cristo, Google search brought us here! Did not disappoint! Very busy, you order at counter and it is dine in or take out. We were lucky to get a table. Tables are in my opinion close to one another but if you don't mind bumping elbows it's all good. Staff was wonderful and food was delicious!!! Loved the dad jokes at the table!! Love a good tea latte and it hit the spot for a rainy Saturday!! read more

The breakfast is fantastic. It's a pretty busy place but they ask how many are in your group and watch for a table for you

The best restaurant experience I've had in quite some time. Superb food, service, and vibe. It was delightful.

Cuteness overload! I got snowbird special so delicious, and PS they make their English muffins ! Lots of bakery treats too which looked great maybe next time. Tandem coffee is obvious plus too! If you haven't been you are missing out. read more

This place is a gem for downtown Saco and lives up to its name! They truly do have the "Finest Kind" of food! My husband and I decided to give it a try for brunch. The vibe of the place is fresh, open, and modern, with a nod to mid century Scandinavian for today's era. The bakery case is filled with the most appetizing and appealing baked goods from donuts to cookies and more. While we were tempted, we did not try... yet. The setup is to order at the counter, and they brung it to you. The service was great- we were checked on and they asked for specific feedback. Their menu is just right- not too many options and just the right options for breakfast and lunch. My husband ordered the breakfast sándwich with sausage and I ordered the Monte Cristo. We split an order of hash browns. The food came out fresh, hot and was simply AMAZING. The Monte Cristo was the perfect blend of soft to crispy bread with enough ooze of cheese. The syrup adds the perfect blend of sweet and savory. That egg sandwich? Decadent. Perfect egg yolk, with fresh sausage and cheese... so good! And the hash browns? Oh my! They reminded me of a spin on a potato latka minus the applesauce. The Orange Juice is freshly squeezed and tasted just like an orange. Portions are perfect- just right and felt energized as opposed to heavy, which goes to show that fresh really is best! While it is pricey, it's worth it for an indulgent treat. We love this place and can't wait to be back! read more

We stopped here for a quick breakfast and we are glad we did. It's a chill small little spot that serves great breakfasts and amazing pastries! Service was super friendly and everything came out very fast. We were lucky to get a table before people started flooding in. The coffee was tasty and of very good quality. The two pastries we got were big in size and sweet in flavor. The breakfast we got was fantastic. We got the west side story which was their perfectly wrapped breakfast burrito which was very filling and full of flavors! We also got the red and black lumber jack. There was so much going on in this and we loved it. Their perfectly cooked hash browns with juicy brisket and an amazing horseradish sauce in between. Everything we had here left us with smiles. Highly recommend giving this place a try. You won't be disappointed you did! The food and people are amazing and the space is great. read more

Everything about FinestKind was amazing. We arrived around 8:15 on a Thursday and it was already pretty full, but the staff was great about helping us find seating. We ordered the breakfast burrito (no pic), lobster Benedict, and the French toast. The food came out very quickly and it was delicious! Everyone loved their food. The burrito was dense and full of flavor. The French toast was fluffy and the strawberry rhubarb sauce and cream were so flavorful. Plenty of lobster on the Benny and it also had great flavor. It wasn't drowning in a poorly-made hollandaise sauce; the sauce was light and flavorful. The hash browns were also fantastic. We also tried some baked goods. The oatmeal cream pies were the best!! The portions aren't huge, but we all left full. We will definitely come back! read more

We popped in for breakfast on a whim and were so glad we did. The service was genuinely kind and welcoming--one of those places where you feel at ease right away. The lattes were incredible (made with house-made syrup, which was such a nice touch), and the food hit the spot. The bomber breakfast burrito was exactly what we needed to start the day, and the donuts didn't last long once we got to the table. We also tried the chicken Caesar wrap, which was super fresh and tasty. The whole place just had good energy--relaxed, friendly, and clearly run by people who care. It's the kind of spot that makes you want to linger a little longer, maybe grab a second coffee just because. We'll definitely make a point to come back next time we're in the area read more

Brown Butter waffle is out of this world. Prompt service after ordering at the counter.

All around excellent! The quality of the food, the ambiance and the friendliness of the staff all deserve five stars. As a bonus, parking in front. We travelled a short distance from Falmouth and can't wait to return. Breakfast foods we sampled: Brown butter waffle with Maine maple syrup was very light and flavorful. In house made English muffins and sausage very tasty. Four large pieces of bacon cooked perfectly. read more

We met some friends for a lunch/brunch the other day at Finest Kind. Wow, what a treat! We were sad that the prpprevious restaurant located here closed, but this is a fantastic replacement! The space is a little small, but cozy and comfy. It's decorated fairly simply and feels homey. The staff was really helpful and friendly, too. We got a chance to talk to the kind owner who told us that they've had a great first six weeks. The food was amazing. Everything we ate (see pics) was so fresh and tasty! We are already making plans to go back! read more

So many unique choices, seasonal tats tea, and sourced ethically and locally. Please go NOW!!!! read more

Tortilla soup was good, but very overpriced. Grits with lobster was not good- tasteless. Turkey sandwich was okay, but overpriced at $16. The small glass of iced tea was good, but at $5 was very expensive. The front door opened into the room, and the temperature dropped 15 degrees- not a place to be in winter. Suggest the Golden Rooster. The bread was delicious giving it three stars. read more

If I lived closer, I would be a regular. Delicious food (like dream about the food good). Quick and friendly service. Nice people (owners)!

Finest kind is a very cute and quaint addition to downtown Saco. Parking is plentiful and it is easy to get to. It features a walk up counter to take your order and the food is brought to your seat via a table number. Our table had a few breakfast sandwiches, cinnamon buns, yogurts and hashbrowns. Everything knocked it out of the park, but the hash browns did look & taste like the oil needed a change over. Despite that, they had some delicious looking pastries in the case that I would love to come back and try. Definitely give this cute place a chance! I'm looking forward to trying some of their house cured meat. read more

What a wonderful find! Warm and welcoming! The food was fantastic! We had the French omelette which glistened and the sautéed mushrooms that came with it were out of this world.

Pretty disappointing - New Moon was a staple in this town. I have been to finest kind for both breakfast and lunch. Their claim to fame is everything is homemade, but by trying to be cool and creative - they are missing the mark on making food that actually tastes good. I wouldn't go back. Expensive. Weird minimal hours. Food does not taste good. It's also counter service so meh...Why can't we get any good non-chain restaurants in Saco? read more

Been going to Finest Kind almost every weekend for a couple months now because it's THAT good. The food, the staff, the owners, the aesthetic, the music, the calm and efficient vibe of the kitchen etc etc. It's clearly a very intentional space curated and run by people who actually know the industry and have a passion for creating food and serving that food to good people. Please go and just get everything on the menu. From the freshly squeezed orange juice to the truly browned butter waffles with real maple syrup and the best fried chicken to the classic eggs benedict with house cured meats to the daily fresh made pastries and challah, everything is perfectly cooked, seasoned, textured, and presented. The kitchen is open to the dining room but you wouldn't recognize it in contrast to the more well known diner atmosphere of cooks yelling on the line frantically trying to get food out. Co-owner and head chef Tom is on expo quietly communicating with the other amazing chefs and efficiently cleaning as they go to keep service smooth and food consistent. When co-owner Victoria isn't making the daily in house pastries including the delicious custardy quiche, she's front of house running food and placing orders from the constant influx of costumers. When you walk in, you'll be greeted with old pictures on the wall of Biddeford/Saco, place an order at the counter and seat yourself indoors or outside on their cute patio enjoying the atmosphere and flowers at your table until your food is brought out to you not long after. My favorite server, Liz will always come check on you with a genuine presence and make sure there is seating available to accommodate you before placing an order as it can get very busy. Counter service can have its pros and cons but I really appreciate that they bring everything to you, check on how you're doing, and clean it up after so all you have to do is enjoy the food. It's conveniently located with ample free on street parking some of which is reserved specifically for Finest Kind costumers. I personally cannot sit outside in direct sun so I wish they had some umberellas or an awning on their patio. However, they did just upgrade their seating and tables along with some bits on the menu. You can tell they're constantly trying to perfect their space and food. Normally I wouldn't enjoy bar seating, but they have very comfy chairs with a view out the window and bag hooks under the bar. They don't have high chairs but they do have a cushioned bench that toddlers can sit on with their adult. As someone who has worked in restaurants for years and is an avid home cook, I really admire a restaurant with kind owners who know food and what it takes to run a restaurant, friendly staff who care and appear to be treated well, and just some fucking damn good honest food. I think there has been a quantity vs quality issue in the southern Maine restaurant scene for a long time. I'd rather have 10 consistently good restaurants than 200 that are overpriced and honestly sooo disappointing leaving you hungry with less money in your pocket. After being open for just over a year, Finest Kind is definitely a stand out and I hope it's here to stay. read more

Tried this new spot based on reviews, it's quaint but priced for oceanfront dining in Portland or Boston, instead of roadside in Saco. Was hopeful but the portions are very small and the attitude from the barista was horrible, so overpriced either way a bad attitude equal a one and done for us You're better off going somewhere else, I don't mind paying for food but I expect good service and adequate portions read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. The standard breakfast sandwich 10/10. Jammy egg, perfectly cooked bacon and a perfect homemade English muffin. Hash-browns 10/10. Crispy outside, creamy inside Brown Butter waffle 11/10. Best waffle I've ever had. Beverages were great as well but make sure you get some pastries on your way out. The Tiny Deborah will make you come back for just that alone. Staff is friendly and helpful. read more
