If I had a dollar for every time I've driven past Freeport Cafe... well, you get the idea. My husband had been on my case about trying it for breakfast, and I finally gave in. Turns out, this place is way better than I expected. I had it in my head that it was some kind of tourist trap because of the location, but nope. It actually gives off super local vibes, and the food was REALLY good. I think this might be in my top three for best food-to-price ratio in the greater Portland area (does Freeport even count as that?). My "dish" was $11.99 and came with two eggs, two sausage links, two hash browns, and a homemade biscuit. The only thing I didn't get two of was the biscuit, but it was huge, so I was actually relieved about that. I left stuffed. More importantly, everything was really yummy! The hash browns were crispy but not greasy, the eggs were cooked perfectly sunny-side up, and that homemade biscuit... I could've taken another one to-go. Make sure you ask for it grilled; you'll thank me later. My husband got the biscuits and gravy and his food was just as good. Also, they have dozens of mimosa flavors. I had the pineapple mimosa and it was phenomenal. Service was great, too. Our server was friendly and super attentive. The vibe inside reminded us of some of our favorite diners in Massachusetts; no frills, nothing fancy, just a classic diner feel. Exactly why we loved it. read more

We have been to Freeport Cafe several times over the past few years, whenever we are in the area or passing through. The quality of food is reliable, the prices are low, and the service is very friendly. However, parking is pretty limited and the menu is very short. Also, we recently went for lunch and I got the clam chowder - I found it far too thick and did not enjoy it much. read more

This cafe was located right next to our hotel and was recommended by staff. We could walk there from our room. It was amazing! We happened to stop by for Father's Day and boy was it packed. The service was super fast and the food was great! My husband said the hollandaise sauce on his eggs Benedict was the best he's ever had. The sausage gravy was superb. The French toast was very delicious and the bacon was the best. The create your own omelet was huge and super fresh. Highly recommended. It came with your choice of bread and you could get a muffin! read more

Finally made a point to have breakfast here as I have driven by this location for decades. The only regret I have, is that I didn't try it sooner. Cozy environment - although there are quite a few seats/tables! I was surprised. The parking lot is always full, which can be deceiving. That was one of the reasons I hadn't stopped. I am not patient when I'm hungry and I assumed the wait would be long. I know now, it's best to try and not assume. Parking can be a challenge, however, at least they have a parking lot! When the staff tells you a size or portion is large or small - believe them! We ordered the cinnamon bun and it was overwhelming and delicious. My sister and I could only eat half of it, because we had ordered entrees for breakfast. They were very quick to offer a box for it. We had pancakes, eggs, potatoes, hashbrowns, sausage and bacon. Everything tasted delicious and fresh. The servings were hearty too! Prices were very reasonable for the quantity and quality of the food. Service was great. Greeted immediately upon walking in and only had to wait a couple of minutes for a table. I highly recommend this location if you are in the area and are craving a delicious down home breakfast. read more

Breakfast! Big selection! Always busy! But the wait is never that long and you need to bulk up before you tackle LL Bean!

The restaurant is cozy without being crowded. 8:30 on a Saturday morning and we were seated immediately. I ordered the sausage gravy and biscuit with home fries and scrambled eggs. Both the biscuit and gravy are def homemade, home fries very crispy and a little salty, which is ok with me. The eggs were a little oily, but tasted good. He had an omelet with sirloin burger and cheddar that he did enjoy. read more

We stumbled upon this cute place today while starting our vacation in Maine. We got there just in the Nick of time they were closing at two and it was 1:45. Also bonus they serve breakfast all day. I ordered the freeport special 2 eggs, hasbrowns, choice of meat and toast. All was very tasty. I'd stop there again if we get in the area. read more

I ordered the Freeport favorite with homemade hash. I was disappointed with the hash as it had the taste and texture of canned hash. Everything else was very good and the coffee was freshly ground. Service was fantastic! read more

Great food, wonderful service, excellent prices. Jill was wonderful.. Highly recommend this place.

Great food and service. Homemade biscuits!? Yummy!! Quaint, sort of rustic breakfast place. Great coffee, and being a coffee fiend I really appreciate that! The service is fast and didn't meet anyone in there that didn't seem really nice! A suggestion, and not a complaint, turkey or chicken sausage maybe? read more

Ate at the Freeport Cafe the first day of a weekend stay at a nearby hotel, and liked it so much that we came back a second day. Friendly staff, generous portions, and AMAZING muffins. The only negative was that they were out if hash browns on both days, and were substituting Tator Tots. Still, very much worth a try. read more

Food is ok. Overpriced for what they provide. Waitress was friendly, service was quick. You can see what they are doing in the kitchen and seeing them put order slips laying on top of the food, can't be the best practice. read more

Best breakfast in Freeport. It gets busy, so recommend getting early. The waiting situation is a bit unique: you walk through the restaurant and then wait in line for a table. The folks work hard to flip tables though, so I think the longest I've waited is 30 minutes or so. The menu is very standard, and very classic. Everything is well executed. I'm partial to the Freeport Favorite, it's a standard breakfast. The sausage gravy and biscuits are also quite good. read more

We had a great breakfast at the Freeport Cafe. The service was fantastic and very friendly despite a full house. We will be back on our next trip to Maine. read more

Conveniently located off I-295/US-1, just south of Freeport, they have a decent breakfast menu that is very value priced. If you aren't sure what to get, try the Freeport Favorite and, if they have them, the blueberry muffin (get it grilled of course) is just scrummy. Check out the specials, there you will find some unique offerings read more

Always the local's favorite and BEST Breakfast!!! Always worth the wait friendly and great service too! read more

Traveling the area for first time.... We pulled over, For breakfast, unplanned. Busy, hustling, family owned café. Great food & service. We loved the owner's sign, thanking their patrons for their support during the last several years & sharing what the support has enabled the owners to improve with the building. The community love & support really showed & we felt fortunate to have experienced. Also.... Not overpriced in anyway! read more

Freeport Cafe - blueberry, lemonade, mimosa!! ! - American Near Me - Freeport, Maine

Arrived at this cafe for a late lunch just before 2P closing. Conveniently located a few miles from the busy Freeport shopping district. I had the fried haddock sandwich. It was huge, but cooked just right so the flavor of the fresh haddock came through. The cold slaw was tangy and also generously portioned I tasted the clam chowder and it was the best chowder I have had in a long time. My wife had the twisted tuna which I almost ordered and she was very pleased with it. Highly recommended after a busy day of shopping! read more

Great, casual cafe and breakfast joint in Freeport. Best part is they serve lunch in the morning! Love it! Enjoyed the club sandwich - perfectly made - and a hot cup of coffee. They have Coca Cola products, another big plus. Grilled blueberry muffin was berry-filled goodness. Clam chowder was a bit too thick for my taste, but the flavor was excellent and chock full of clams pieces. Friendly service and a low key environment. Nice cafe! read more

I had a great time at the Freeport cafe. I brought my grandson there and it was absolutely marvelous. The food was fantastic and it was just so homey. Our server Sam, was fantastic too. He made so you feel right at home and gave the place half its charm. I just can't wait to return. 5 STARS read more

Foodie: Okay folks, here's where I start. I am fortunate to have a large appetite which lets me try a variety of items so my list will be longer than Cutie's. I started off with a veggie omelet and substituted the regular eggs for egg whites. Understandably, there was less flavor in the eggs which only brought out the flavors of the veggies. Starting off strong, the omelet itself gets a 7.8/10 for going above what I expected. To my left there were two hefty pancakes, which I originally mistook for three (a compliment), some ham slices, a hefty cinnamon roll, and a grilled blueberry muffin. To my right, a hot cup of pumpkin coffee (I had it black). To say every bite of the cinnamon roll was like biting into a sugary, airy cloud would do it a disservice. I have had good cinnamon rolls, this was better. 8.0/10. I am known among my friends for being able to put down a lot of pancakes...and then some. These pancakes were satiating, delicious, and had a thick, cakey texture that I would love to have again. If you have a reasonable appetite, these pancakes may be sufficient to hold you over for several hours. However, I would recommend having these as a side to compliment another of their delicious menu items. 8.2/10. The ham was ham. 7.0/10. The coffee was a simple blend, but it was enjoyable and warm. 7.3/10. A surprising star of my order was the grilled blueberry muffin. There was a beautiful mixture of sweet and salty that would be worth getting just by itself. Forget Crumbl cookies, get yourself 6 grilled muffins! 8.7/10. Another set of superstars: the service, our waiter, and the ambiance. First, we were looked after throughout the entirety of our meal and constantly provided with opportunities to (a) get refills on our drinks and (b) order more items. Second, the waiter was kind, provided everything with a smile, and patiently waited while we finished our meal. Finally, everyone working seemed to enjoy each other's company. The teamwork was evident and the laughter was appreciably audible. May they all continue to have such hearty laughter in the future. Overall, the average for the restaurant came to a 7.8. But the service, our waiter, and the ambiance brought that number up to an even 8.0. I would recommend the Freeport Cafe to anyone and everyone. Thank you for such a pleasant breakfast experience! Cutie: I enjoyed the Freeport Favorite. It comes with eggs, a choice of bread (bagel/muffin/toast), meat, and either hash browns or home fries. I got my eggs scrambled with cheddar cheese, sausage patties, wheat toast, and hash browns. Foodie and I split the giant cinnamon roll. Freeport Café was a very pleasant meal. The food was delicious and home-y. There were no forced quirky menu names, which is always a plus. The hash browns were hash brown patties, which I was not expecting but still enjoyed. My meal was very filling. Foodie and I had been waiting all week for this day and we did not leave disappointed. It was good, simple food and Foodie and I had excellent service. The environment was very positive. Staff was very kind to guests and very notably to each other. When one of the servers came in, the other guests were very excited to see them. There was a very strong community feel in the restaurant. My overall rating is 7.5/10. I thought the food, service, and atmosphere were phenomenal. If I went again, I would get the eggs without the cheese, but that's up to personal preference. My toast was a little crispy, but still enjoyable. The cinnamon roll was the size of a plate and about 4 standard cinnamon rolls put together. Definitely something a family (or two people who really like cinnamon rolls) could share. It was soft and I could envision the Pillsbury Doughboy angrily huffing when losing a cinnamon roll contest to the giant one we enjoyed. Everything that came out was warm and had just been prepared. read more

Pulled in on a Saturday morning before noon. Place is pretty small and was busy with the line out the door and down the steps, but there was ample parking. There's no checking in or putting your name in, you just wait in line. The line goes all the way into the restaurant and because of that it can get kind of crowded and noisy inside. Once I got seated though, the service and food were pretty quick and good. 3 - 4 stars. read more

I must say that this is the best place around the area to eat breakfast. I usually get the eggs Benedict and it is da bomb. Recommended to other folks who ordered a variety of things and received the thumbs up from all. A definite must if you're in the area. They're open from 7am - 2pm, so be ready to face a crowd. Although, they do have great service as well... Sends the experience over the top. read more

My fave breakfast spot in Freeport just opened back up for takeout or indoor dining. They have a new entrance, have spacing between tables, hanging dividers. I love their blueberry iced coffees, the best Eggs Benedict I have ever had. Large pancakes that you can add blueberries to. They sell local goodies such as local hot sauces, granola, maple syrup, etc. Little known secret they have bloody marys (from a can) and can do mimosas. read more

Laurie was our server and was amazing! The food was the best I have had on my vacation so far. I had the fried Haddock and my husband had the clam chowder and quiche. We were super happy with all of it !! Love small town local restaurants!! read more

This place was good, nothing special from your traditional breakfast place. We were kind of surprised that the big breakfasts didn't come with any toast or potatoes. The speciality raspberry jam and peanut butter French toast was good, nothing exceptional. We were surprised that each Maine maple syrup was an additional cost of over $2 per person and came in a tiny shot sized glass (with no mention of additional charge). Overall the place wasn't terrible but I would go elsewhere in the future. read more

I mean the food was mid no cap, but the lady was nice, art was alright but the food was ehhhhh.

Great food with great pricing. Service was pretty good just could take a minute depending on how busy they are.

We stopped in as we were head south to fly home for a late breakfast. The service was quick and polite and the food was slightly above the average. There were some misses, though. The home fries are quite tasty and cooked to order- the hashbrown cakes are a frozen warmed up distraction. Stick to the home fries. And the sausage was overly seasoned to the point on not being tasty. And, we were asked if we wanted REAL maple syrup with our pancake and French toast when we ordered them. As if we would say- no, we want an artificial sticky item instead. When we got the bill, there was an additional $1.99 charge on it for having a large bottle in the table.- a bottle that would be used by another patron after we left. I get that real maple syrup is expensive BUT share the additional cost and give an individual serving to with the order. It just felt a little like a shell game. read more

Very delicious ! Highly recommend especially the clam chowder soup and grilled cheese.

One of the rare gems you rarely come across now days We stopped here by chance, was greeted by friendly staff immediately. Once they got the table ready I was pleasantly surprised that they are so clean. Not only do they use disposable menus, even their silverware's are in paper pouch. Then I watched the waitress clean a neighboring table.... no complaints.... so effective and so much better than what restaurants are doing in NY. They get a 5 for cleanliness!!!! Now let's talk about the food, we ordered enough to feed a small army. The BFB with beef hash is a must get, sooo good, their hash browns are delicious as well. Country breakfast was impressive and the ham in the eggs Benedict was yummy too. Over all, nothing was bad!!! We even got a blueberry iced coffee to go! If you are in the area, this place is a must, forget those stinky lobsters. Cleanliness : 5/5 deliciousness: 5/5 Price: 3/5 read more

Stopped in one morning while on a little weekend getaway. Didnt realize this spot was essentially connected to a hotel (same parking lot) and surprisingly we were sat right away on a Saturday am (it was 2 days after Xmas so Im sure it isnt the height of summer season but there was a good crowd) Not sure if this is more of a "Local" spot, but our server wasn't overly welcoming. Food was ok, the pace was ok, I wasnt wowed but I mean its only a little breakfast spot, I didnt expect anything stellar or earth shattering... Would try again if there in the summer to give another shot. read more

We enjoyed going here, it is a classic diner with ample menu options. The service was great, friendly and quick. We had a 3-3.5 star experience. The biscuit was the best, huge, buttery, perfect density and not dry. Veg omelette was good, not great but good, not terribly seasoned but many people prefer more classic, simple. Unfortunately the bacon was very dry, that turned out to disappoint. Hash brown patties and home fries were standard and good, crispy and not mushy. read more

Freeport Cafe - Veggie omelette Hash Browns biscuit - American Near Me - Freeport, Maine

This is a perfect case of "Never judge a book by it's cover" .. it technically has an ocean view (a small inlet with the busy roads zipping by), but, it's slightly outdated and attached to a motel. That's usually a red flag. But, when we pulled in there was about 20 cars that were all parked kinda willy-nilly (dead giveaway it's full of senior citizens) and as far as a solid breakfast joint goes-- THATS A GOOD SIGN. For my birthday breakfast I just wanted a GRILLED BAGEL with cream cheese and 2 eggs over easy. Doesn't sound too hard, right? You'd be surprised. But, this sweet little joint did NOT disappoint. Not only did everything come out in 4 minutes flat- it was cooked perfectly. My sis got a fancy shmancy breffast sammie with avocado and superpowers, which she devoured. It was all so good we took my in-laws back the next week and they got something with gravy and we got stuffed French toast and hash and home fries and pancakes and.. honestly so much food. It was all so good. I know I'm late to the party on this one, but if you're like me and have driven by a hundred times and dismissed this place, TURN BACK AROUND AND GO GET BREAKFAST. read more

Classic diner with great food. The last time I was there the server was very sweet and generous to let me use my laptop.

We are here every weekend for breakfast. If you give freeport cafe 1 star you have no taste. The staff is amazing. The food is simple and delicious. The location is convenient and you get a great view of the marsh. Even us locals can be nice to the summer people who are often rude and entitled to the locals who frequent these restaurants when you all go away. Being nice doesn't cost extra. read more
