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.

I'd rate the breakfast selection as slightly better than their lunch menu, but both offer enticing options. The muffins are homemade and delicious. The portions are ample at breakfast with generous helpings of potatoes and toast along side the egg dishes. Recently, for lunch, I ordered the turkey dinner which was Thanksgiving on a plate. It hit all the right notes with excellent stuffing and gravy. The turkey was moist and the mashed potatoes were heaven. Everything is made to order and on busy mornings there is a bit of a wait for the food to come out, but worth the wait. The staff is attentive and they treat you like family.

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.
