My husband and myself went to the restaurant on 7/24/26 and we were seated right away. Then the…read moretrouble stared first we ordered out beverages mine a creamsicle from adult menu she left brought my husbands drink and looked at me and said would you like something else because it takes me so long to make it!!! Then we ordered our food. Three more tables were seated and staff disappeared. I noticed That those tables got served before us! Hubby asked where our food was and why people who arrived after us got there food first, she said sorry we had a 30 top show up and it got crazy. 20 min. after that we were getting up to leave it came out she then asked if we wanted it to go. I asked for the check, left the food on the table and left a $1.00 tip and left!!!! We will never go back!!!!

I found this restaurant randomly as we drove from Vermont to Portland. This is the kind of find…read morethat I love - a local diner/cafe off the beaten path. If you find yourself in Sanford, this is a place that is a good find. The menu contains all of the breakfast and lunch standards. Breakfast is available until 2:00 pm, which is when the restaurant closes, so everything on the menu is sold from opening to close. My wife had the waffles ($4.99) and bacon. The bacon was crispy, but the waffles had a softer than usual (for us) texture. I'm not sure if that's normal, or just the batter and cooking that Sweet Memories does. However, it was tasty and she enjoyed it. I ordered the cleverly named "Big Breakfast" (8.89) that included: Three eggs served with two pieces, bacon, two sausages, a half slice a ham with home fries and your choice of toast or an English Muffin. The quality of the food is good and the prices are an amazingly good value. I'm sure that this same meal back home in Minneapolis would be more $15 for the Big Breakfast and $12 for the waffles and bacon. The service was a bit sluggish, but all in all, fine. I would love for a second location to open in Minneapolis, Minnesota, complete with the Sanford, Maine prices.

Service was slow but that could be because it was busy or they're short handed, I never saw anyone…read morejust standing around. It was busy, and I've heard many good things about this restaurant. The decor was cute and homey. I was not very impressed with my food. I ordered a kielbasa omelette with home fries and grilled English muffin. I don't know what they cooked the food in, some oil or butter, I don't know, but whatever that was, I did not like. I am not picky by any stretch of the imagination, but there was a flavor in all the food that just did not taste good. I couldn't finish any part of my breakfast.

Okay so our usual spot is Third Alarm Diner but they were down for maintenance Mel's is a Sanford,…read moreMaine staple the food was cooked absolutely perfectly and the Homemade Honey Oat bread is some of the best I've ever had in my life staff is very friendly and it's generally quiet with the sound of small talk in the background from the old timers there for coffee I'm not knocking Mel's at all it is definitely delicious food but I'm disappointed I paid significantly more than I would at Third Alarm diner and the servings of Bacon And home-fries was significantly smaller I would go there in the future again only if third alarm wasn't closed again only getting 4 stars cause of the price and portioning

Prices were reasonable and the food was decent.

Support Local so they stick around!! I'm so grateful for these guys being in Springvale…read more Bagels are homemade. The Zaatar one is So tasty (Zaatar = herbs & spices)! They have a plant-based cream cheese option now, along with Hummus. Hot and ice coffee available. Local bottled sodas available. They have vegetarian options and some vegan options - I believe the bagels are made with honey and some vegans don't eat honey. They are now open Friday and Saturday evenings with wine/alcohol and Non-alcoholic options. The non-alcoholic options look tasty and have healthier ingredients than most brands out there (good on you guys for paying attention to that!!) They also support local artists displaying their artwork on the walls. Parking: street parking. Both sides. Idk if it's acceptable, but I've parked in the DMV parking lot a couple times. There's also a parking lot behind the library - can walk through the old courthouse walkway area.

An 1800s general store with tons of old school charm. They serve breakfast and lunch with still offering the general store of everything in between.

We chowed half our meals parked outside and the other half on our hike in the mountains. The Staff was wonderful and accommodating, too!

I had a turkey, white cheddar, and bacon jam panini with a side salad. Go with the house made onion dressing. It's delicious! We sat at the bar/counter and chatted with the woman holding down the fort. I also picked up a house made banana chocolate chip cookie muffin hybrid which was delightful the next day. We recommend it to some other people we met at a half marathon and I think they enjoyed it, too. A great addition to a small town because they have everything! I wish I had more room in my luggage and I would have purchased some gifts to take home. Love the feel of this place with the rocking chairs on the porch and the lunch counter. I'd come back for sure.
