    Avocado Toast with Bacon

    Quick service. Bacon avocado toast was very good. Would be even better with lemon juice on it. Beachy Mocha would not recommend. Did not taste the mocha at all, just tasted like cinnamon. Bacon breakfast burrito was okay.

    The Whole Shebang

    Above and beyond fabulous always! Perfect beach cafe.. Great breakfast definitely get the whole shebang açaí bowl

    Fabulous agave and cardamom iced latte with a beach view! Great egg and cheese sandwich on toasted whole grain bread completed the meal. Looking forward to visiting often while on vacation. Yoga on the beach every morning, too!

    Big sprout breakfast sandwich. Looks delicious, lacking flavor

    What a great location and healthy option to have right on the beach! I came down here in off season (season May 1 - Oct 15) and was worried everything would be closed. They are open Thursday-Sunday opening at 7. I ordered a coconut oil black coffee and immediately second guessed it. Some places just put a scoop in and the oily mess sits on top and is an oil slick on your lips and in your mouth. As soon as I heard the blender I realized these guys got it right! They blended it up to a creamy smoothness. They have a coffee bar outside with multiple milk options including oat milk. I was able to top off my coffee for some added heat which was appreciated on this chilly morning. I ordered the big sprout breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, spinach, arugula, tomato, and avocado. Sounds delish and flavorful. Luckily I ordered it on the very thing bagel because the sandwich itself was pretty lack luster and tasteless. They don't season the egg or add any type dressing to the sandwich. I did realize (too late) they have salt and pepper by the coffee bar which would have helped, but still not quite what I would have been looking for. Maybe they have options I could have added, I am not sure, I didn't ask. I am sure I will be back during our two week visit, so I will make sure to look into it further and report back. Edited to add: I just read the menu and it says this sandwich was supposed to have basil pesto aïoli, now THAT is what I was looking for and would have made this sandwich so much better! Too bad it was somehow left off of my sandwich. Better luck next time!

    This place has great drinks!…read more 8 of us came in, and we each liked what we ordered. I ordered the beetroot latte out of curiosity, and it was surprisingly good! Strong beet flavor, but sweet and creamy.

    We LOVED this place. If you're trying to eat healthier but still want delicious food this is it…read more They have both meat and vegan options and we went broadly vegetarian with the Banh Mi Bowl with vegan chicken and the Chipotle Avocado and Lime Bowl with seasoned tofu. Both were fabulous. We also had a latte with soy milk but there were lots of different milk options to choose from. Parking is street parking or one of the nearby lots which is what we chose. It was pretty busy even in January so I'd be prepared to give a few minutes over to parking but it's worth it. You can order at the counter or through a kiosk. We tried the kiosk but oddly it doesn't seem set up to give you a receipt so I would order at the counter next time. The staff were very nice about following up to get me my receipt but I think they just need to configure the system a bit more. Whether you order at the kiosk or the counter you take a number and the staff will bring you your food. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the dining area spacious and comfortable. There are quite a lot of good things to choose from on the menu so it will probably be returning next time we're in Newburyport to try and test out a few other items.
