Walked up the street into the restaurant he was pleasantly surprised by such attentive staff. My husband ordered special breakfast sandwich, which was a pesto sandwich, and I ordered two scrambled eggs and bacon we of course, had to have a cinnamon roll as well. That and 2 cups of coffee and it was under $30. Coffee was great place was clean . Scrambled eggs or scrambled perfectly and my husband said a sandwich. It was delicious. Not sure how much things are elsewhere in Freeport since we were just driving through, but I will tell you that this place was a great bang for the buck . read more

Small, cozy, and a total hidden gem. This place runs on counter service, but the food that comes out is diner-level comfort with a little extra love. I ordered the Monte Cristo and it was exactly what I needed -- crispy, cheesy, and stacked with thick slices of ham and turkey. My husband went for an egg & cheese with meat, and it was huge, hearty, and seriously good. Nothing fancy, just straight-up delicious breakfast done right. Definitely the kind of spot you want to "accidentally discover" and then brag about later. read more

I enjoyed my lunch at Isabella's. On a beautiful Saturday at 1 it was quite empty, so no need to worry about seating. I ordered the turkey, apple, and cheddar sandwich on wheat bread and while it wasn't the best version of the sandwich I've had, it was still very tasty. The turkey was thick and quite dry, but everything else was good. My friend also enjoyed her caprese sandwich. read more

We hit this spot on the way to LL Bean, dreaming of some blueberry pancakes. But as luck would have it, they 86'd the pancakes while we were ordering them. DOH! Total bummer. After a quick recon mission, we adjusted our game plan. For the table, I snagged a pecan sticky roll (because who says no to that?) and then went for the BLT breakfast sandwich on marble rye. And let me tell you, that sandwich gave me all the sustenance I needed for a long LL Bean shopping trip! Service was solid, and the prices? VERY reasonable. Even without the pancakes, this place was a win in my book. read more

Great service and helpful! Cinnamon bun and sticky bun were really good - moist not overly sweet. read more

Came here for breakfast before exploring the shops! We were able to walk in around 9am with no reservation and get seated immoderately. The roasted turkey BLT was delicious. There were also some baked good items as well. Small interior so I imagine in a busier time period there may be long wait times. Very quaint and homey feeling. read more

We were just looking for place in Freeport for a quick bite for lunch and this place ended up being exactly what we wanted. The scones are legit definitely grab one. Also had the turkey pesto panini and it was good. Real turkey not deli meat. It seems everything is homemade. Check it out. read more

Great place to stop in and get some wonderful baked goodies. Lots of natural light in the place. There is a nice younger red head lady in there that seems to be very cheery and happy to listen to customers needs. A great oasis as you shop around Freeport! read more

We walked past this restaurant a couple of times and thought we'd give it a try for breakfast. We were staying at the Hilton Garden Inn just down the street. The food was good, not spectacular and pretty expensive, but we've realized that most of Maine makes their money off of tourist. We had a bartender tell us that "The locals pay the bills, but the tourists put the kids through college." We both had the Western Omelet. Again, good, but pretty bland. Some salsa would have been a great addition. Jelly for the toast was just your Smucker's that you get at any average restaurant. $50 for two for an average breakfast is pretty expensive. I don't think I would return here as the cost doesn't match the quality of the food. read more

My husband and I came across this place by chance and we are so glad we did. The food was good, the service was excellent. The older woman was delivering food, checking in on everyone and when she noticed I hadn't eaten much of my soup, asked if I didn't like it and offered a refund. In fact, the roasted squash and apple soup(it's a special) was very good. I was just too full to eat it and got a container to take it with me instead. We would come back again for sure. read more

The best bakery and an absolute hidden gem. I make sure to stop by for scones and cookies whenever I'm in Freeport. Staff is super friendly as well. read more

Chunk light tuna, really? That's the ingredients you choose to serve your guests? Place is nice enough. Young woman there is very nice. Cookie and coffee were good BUT I have literally had better tuna sandwiches in a gas station- no exaggeration., at half the price ofc. The pennies you save by using tuna one grade above cat food should go to a cookbook. Also a little brine wouldn't hurt. Take a little pride in what you present your guests read more

I have never been berated by a cashier before. This place is like if the soup man from Seinfeld had a coffee shop but the coffee was bland and pastries were below average. read more

Nestled under a bookstore on a corner in Freeport is an oasis of yummy food and down-home atmosphere. I had a fabulous everything bael with egg and bacon and it was just right! Chewy and cheesey with crisp bacon. Wayne had the stuffed burrito, something he craves on a fairy regular basis. Full of meat, cheese, eggs and flavor. Accompanied by home fries. Coffee was awesome and we can't leave w/out taking home a cinnamon bun - so light and airy you can forget that there may be some calories lurking there! atmosphere. One note - it can get chilly in the dining room, bring a sweater! read more

Always a pleasure, we stop in everytime we are in Freeport and have never been disappointed. Food first, service, then ambiance. Not in the best location but you need a breakfast place, would recommend this one. read more

While the baked goods here are decent, the breakfast was sorely lacking. Portions were small, homefries were raw, and the turkey in my monte cristo tasted "off." We agreed overall that it seemed like the griddle wasn't heated correctly and they were rushing items through given how crowded it was. The breakfast burrito was very dry and lacking in flavor. I found the baked goods pretty one-note, but they are fresh and sweet, so certainly objectively fine. Skip breakfast here and go to one of the many fine diners in southern Maine. read more

Like many have said. Very bland. Service was ok. But food has small portions and doesn't taste good. Family of four $85. Freeport has very poor options for breakfast and this is added to the list. Find someone else. read more

First time here. As others have said, this place is filthy dirty, front of house and back. Food was passable, but can't imagine it's sanitary. We asked for decaf (in a place that serves breakfast) and were told brusquely that "we don't make it". One grimy pump pot of coffee to choose from. Bread was store-bought and flavorless. Go elsewhere unless you want to risk food poisoning on your shopping trip to Freeport. read more

nice staff- the food was welcome, affordable and the breads were fresh and flavorful. great pricing for Freeport with a quiet space to enjoy the food read more

Incredibly tasty baked goods. Blown away on how amazing each item we bought was. Everything tasted freshly baked and since we arrived most things were sold out. Still got to enjoy some muffins and cinnamon rolls, highly recommend both. 10/10, would recommend to anyone! read more

Cute place with lots of ambiance. Food was great and the baked items were sweet. Right in the heart of Freeport with plenty of parking nearby. read more

Great little place to stop and eat. Blueberry pancakes are amazing! Great service, very fast.

A quaint little location, you walk down into, make sure you get there early during tourist season. The sticky bum french toast, the egg sandwich on sourdough and the sticky bun by itself with extra nuts was very good. Very welcoming and friendly service all the way around. read more

Can we rate higher than 5 stars?! If so they would get it. I wish I had found this little gem sooner. We had a breakfast there And our sandwiches were sooo good. I had a special sandwich with pesto and it was amazing. Coffee was nice and strong. read more

Delicious sweet rolls and muffins. The Veggie and Boursin Breakfast Sandwich was very good! Sticky Bum and Raspberry Muffin were equally delicious. I was able to walk to this little spot from the Hilton Garden Inn and it was a great way to start our day! read more

I don't think I've ever felt so uncomfortable in a restaurant. The girl behind the counter never smiled and was very curt. The food was mediocre as there was a teaspoon of cheese on my omelet. The floors are dirty and the bathrooms are worse. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Happened on this place on our way through Freeport, and it was a wonderful find! Friendly service, the best tuna melts we've had in forever, and cinnamon rolls warm from the oven! Overall, a great lunch break in a busy day of traveling. read more

Such nice staff and delicious and quick food! We got the sticky bun and loaded hash and both were delicious and ate inside during a rainy morning. We didn't have a problem getting a table but it filled up quickly after. read more

THE Breakfast burrito is a MUST. No place does it better. Everything is delicious here. Run don't walk!

Delicious breakfast sandwich and cinnamon rolls. Coffee was great! Place was very busy, so be prepared to wait a little.

Always nice to stop in here with my family. Good food at reasonable prices. The service was excellent.

Stopped in after camping nearby. Very friendly and quick service. Food was great and very fair prices. Only qualm is that the coffee was pretty weak. Would definitely come back. read more

The person taking our order with long brown hair was incredibly rude. The person who served the food was rude too, just plopped the plates on the table. It wasn't busy at all, in fact it was a pretty dead Friday morning in April. The food was mediocre and I had to wait about 20 minutes for them to make coffee. Wouldn't recommend read more

This is a must visit for breakfast!! Food was excellent. Inside and outside seating. Coffee is worth coming back for too. Staff were all very helpful and efficient. The young lady at the counter, Nyador, was delightful, so good we thought she was the owner. Loved the hash dish. We'll be back the next time we're in the area. read more

This place was a hole in the wall. There is minimal seating inside and with only bench outside. Food was quick but had to eat in the car due to lack of seating. The warm sticky bun was so good! The Cuban sandwich and bagel sandwich were really good. Quick service and quick bite. Not really a sit down brunch type as hoped, but still good. read more

Great breakfast sandwiches and their sticky buns... mmm mmm mmmmmm! I would suggest especially during COVID times to have more outdoor seating (there was 1 large picnic table), place markers to denote patrons are 6 feet apart while waiting in line, and inside dining area are cordoned off from patrons standing around to wait for their food/order so that dining-in patrons can take off their masks while they eat inside. read more

Isabella's Sticky Buns Café & Bakery has seriously stolen my heart. Isabella's is the cutest little café situated in Freeport. I heard of Isabella's from a friend that posted a picture of their delicious looking sticky buns. Naturally after seeing the picture, I successfully dragged my husband here several short days later. The second my husband and I walked into the door we were very warmly greeted by the staff who helped explain the menu and options. After staring at the menu for several minutes and still being unable to come to a decision, woman behind the counter started describing all of the items to help me make my decision. My end result was a breakfast burrito with fries and a sticky bun on the side (obviously). Between my burrito and sticky bun and my husband's burrito and cinnamon roll and 2 drinks we only paid about $26 which I found very reasonable. After we paid our order at the counter we then went to find an empty table towards the back to enjoy our food. As I waited for my burrito, I indulged in my highly anticipated sticky bun... and yes it was everything I wanted it to be! It was warm, soft, and full of gooey goodness! You must get one if you come here. After a couple minutes, we were brought our burritos. After eating my sticky bun I didn't think anything could be any better, but the burrito was amazing. It was stuffed with eggs, cheese, sausage, a "special sauce", and a few other things. It did have a good spice kick to it which I enjoyed (I actually even added some franks hot sauce). If you have not come here yet, you are seriously missing out. Between the EXTREMELY kind staff members and the absolutely delicious food, you definitely won't regret coming here. read more
