I'm very sorry, but I just can't write much positive about this place. On recommendation from a friend. I decided to have a group of us meet for breakfast. Our server was friendly& accommodating. It's the place, the food that I found to be very distasteful. I may have tried 4 different chairs before I found one without a torn seat cover. My coffee cup was badly nicked & to be honest once the two issues occurred I played it safe, deciding to only order dry toast. My dining companions weren't too pleased with what they ordered but it appeared that they consumed what was served to them & did not complain to the server. I will not be returning to this venue read more

The food and staff are amazing the best part is they do takeout for anything on the menu. BEST HASH AROUND!!!!! They bake everything fresh , the muffins are to die for and the cakes and pastries are always a great choice. The Ruben is a diamond in the ruff read more

Thank you Yelp. Have you ever had a ...ummm... Outpatient Medical procedure where you can't eat for 2 days before....and when the anesthesia wears off you're starving? I was looking for an amazing breakfast afterwards and Nancy's reviews sent me there. The food is fantastic. The constant crowds there attest to that. Staff is super friendly and efficient. Atmosphere is clean and unpretentious, just like a diner should be. Their coffee is excellent and they offer all coffee drinks (lattes espressos etc. only $21 for two wonderful breakfasts . I will be a regular here now that I've discovered it. read more

First time here. Place not that busy. Never got acknowledged and had to wait to be seated. Definitely a Salisbury locals joint. One took my coffee order. NEVER brought it. But a guy who came in after got his. Second waitress took my food order and finally brought my coffee. Requested NO peppers in omelette. Came with peppers!!! Corn beef hash came out 10 min. AFTER omelette. read more

For starters instead of coffee I decided to get the mocha latte as shown on their specialty coffee and we waited and finally 10 minutes later I got my later and it was warm not hot so that was a bummer the taste was good but I will not get again. For breakfast I got the Marshview omelette with home fries and white toast it was good the home fries taste like crunchy fries. The corned beef is homemade it was good. My son had the apple French toast and he ate it but he definitely had better elsewhere. My husband the hungry man breakfast and it was good. The pancakes for my thought was very floury doughy read more

worst food ever! my hash browns were not cooked, my toast was burned black on one side and the flipped it over like I would not notice. My poached eggs that I made a point to ask cooked very light and runny were hard boiled. I will never go back again!!! read more

This place is awesome for brunch type foods. Went today and the Mrs. got an item called the "Rte. 1 pile up" which consisted of hash, hash browns, 2 eggs, hollandaise sauce and 2 slices of freshly baked cinnamon raisin bread. She absolutely loved it. I had a couple bites and it was awesome. It was something straight out of the food networks show "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives". I got the cheeseburg club with fries, and it was great. This place has a simple menu with simple ingredients, but sometimes less is more. With most/all of the items being homemade, it is now our favorite place for breakfast/brunch/lunch. read more

Had breakfast there while visiting the area last week....pretty big open area doing good business, breakfast was very good and the home made bread great. Bakery makes some wonderful looking stuff!! read more

Friendly folks and a great place for breakfast or for picking up a birthday cake! They have superior coffee vs your average coffee shop acidic coffee so I really think that makes it for me. Great eggs and sandwiches. Some of their bread is homemade too! Ps they make great birthday cakes but call ahead. read more

I'm not one to typically leave reviews, but I had such a pleasant experience at Nancy's Marshview Cafe this morning that I wanted to share! I got an ice coffee with the flavor brewed in that was just delicious! I also got avocado toast to-go which was fantastic, and it was a plentiful serving! Both Nancy and Rhonda were kind and welcoming! It is clear that they are very good at what they do. I look forward to coming back again! read more

Used to consider myself a regular here...would drive with the family on special occasions Not sure what happened over the last year, but Nancy's has gone downhill. Change of management? Not enough staff in the kitchen? Come here on the weekend and you'll wait 20 minutes for a seat (no where to sit and wait) 15 minutes to give a drink order and if you're lucky, 35 minutes for your food... Food will come out cold and somehow overcooked, especially if you get the home fries or omelettes. No options for people with celiacs or gluten free. Very disappointing that they can't offer BREAD- most breakfast places have it these days... very sad to have someone in the family sit out because of lack of accomodation in these days. Maybe better for those with celiacs , you don't have to pay for burned cinamon raisin bread. Skimpy portions either on plates way too tiny or way too big. Overpriced drinks, no alcohol, and no free refills... Want a baked good? Have fun with the gamble of having something stale or something freshly baked Also enjoy the lovely atmosphere of screaming children... read more

STAY AWAY!!!! we were warned by multiple people and still decided to give them a chance, shouldve listened!!! Place was filthy with food n napkins on the floor, and the tables were dirty with crumbs. I ordered an omelet and instead they brought scrambled egg whites!!!! I had to send it back for the "right" order, for which as a courtesy they never aknowledged on the bill. The side was pancakes which were overcooked on the outside but doughy n undercooked on the inside. The coffee was stale and the orange juice was warm. And for "experience" it cost us 40.00 including tip!!!! Remember youve been warned, STAY AWAY!!! ps-owner replied saying since they re-made me my order they do not see the need to "as a courtesy" adjust the bill; she STILL misses the point! and she insinuated the reason why the place was filthy was because it was the sunday before a holiday and they were crowded, when in fact we were in there the place was empty! so i guess that makes it ok? save your money!!!! read more

I absolutely love this place !!! They have the best coffee I have ever tasted , I try to come here often .. My boyfriend and I are always so happy to go here , food is wonderful staff is great super nice ! The only down side is its always packed and we never get to sit at a table and we are always stuck sitting at the bar table thing, maybe you could add more tables and seating ?? Other than that everything is a 5 star here ! read more

I understand this is a family owned business, but not everyone is meant to run a business. Clearly, Nancy isn't either. Food has been disgusting every time I've gone with family, although my grandparents like the place, anyone who didn't live through the Great Depression would agree- food is bland, often times cold, and it's not rare to hear kitchen staff yelling at their underaged staff. No thanks! read more

This place is great! The food is yummy, the service was good, and the place is quaint!

Nancy's is the best! All the waitresses are friendly and on top of things. It is our favorite breakfast spot. The homemade bread is delicious as are all the bakery items. Never had a bad breakfast there. Really good omelettes and hash. read more

This place is great! Food, service, and atmosphere is wonderful. Nancy is so friendly and always takes great care of us. Breakfast is amazing but they also have several home made baked goods. read more

There are lots of breakfast places to choose from in a 10 mile radius from my house. My wife and I have tried them all, and in many cases more than once. We have been going to Nancy's every weekend for about a year now, and if we lived 20 miles from the place it would still be worth the drive even if gas was near $5.00 a gallon. Here is what I like about this place... The food. The servers. The homemade baked goods. The incredible coffee and the mug it comes in. It's a tiny spot, the parking is tight and sometimes you have to wait for a table, but I implore you to hang in there. It's worth the wait. Short stacks, full stacks, home made corn beef hash, creative omelets, jazzy home fries, homemade muffins, sausage gravy.... All breakfast staples in these parts but done with style and attention to detail. The food is genuinely wonderful. The servers are like bees going from flower to flower, but they remember the regulars and will often step up to the table with what they know is your favorite beverage. They serve up a little sass with the food. (This is New England after all.). I like them all. Look in the bakery case and see homemade eclairs, muffins, pies, etc. This is the real deal. Someone rolls a lot of dough in the back... The coffee has strength and a hangover curing aroma. (My opinion) but the mug that it comes in completes the love affair... Perfect Perfect Perfect. If you have forgotten what a very good BLT tastes like then Nancy's BLT on sourdough with home-fries will get that memory back... In my opinion it all comes down to genuineness... This place deserves your love. read more

Enjoyed a nice breakfast at this cute roadside bakery/cafe. In house baked Pistachio Muffin grilled nicely, delicious Apple Crisp French Toast and ample hot coffee. Friendly service, worth the trip. Place could you a 2nd door to keep the cold out and a refresh in the dining room. Took a slice of Key Lime Pie Togo. read more

This place is the only place to go to for breakfast in the newburyport area. The food is very good. Baked goods from scratch are excellent. They will make anything you want if you use your imagination.Jalapeño bacon, yeah you heard that right. Where else do you get that? Nowhere, that's where! It can get busy in there but I've never waited for a table longer than 10 mins. Service is some of the best I I've ever had consistently. It sounds like I own this place, I don't. I do however appreciate a good breakfast place when I find one and this is it. read more

We stopped into Nancys Marshview Cafe on a Sunday in October on our way to Newburyport. Upon walking in, I immediately picked up on a smell that I would have to describe as, "wet dog." Not exactly an appetizing smell for a restaurant. After we sat down, I realized the table was all sticky and the place smelled even more like an old wet dog then when I first walked in. The waitress approached and I noticed she had cat or dog hair all over her - also, was not an appetizing sight when I'm about to order breakfast. None the less, I ordered a veggie omelet with homefries and toast. The omelet was dry and disgusting, the homefries were tasteless and completely bone dry and the white toast tasted as if it had been drenched in a bucket of butter. There were dirty tables all around us and food on the floor all over the old carpet. This was probably one of the worst breakfast/brunch experiences I ever had. Completely unappealing business and even worse food. I highly suggest taking your business elsewhere. read more

Happened to be passing through and found this gem. The food was great and the service too. Our server was friendly and helpful. Wish I could go back but live cross country read more

Have you ever been chased out of a restaurant by the owner? I have! The service was horrendous and they were not even busy - I literally thought the owner (who came out of the kitchen into the parking lot to yell at me, my friend and her 8 yo son - as she tells me how short handed they were) was coming to apologize. It turns out that her daughter-in-law was our waitress - sorry lady the service industry isn't for everyone - No coffee refill (asked 3 times) no silverware - butter or syrup - got our food to stare at it. My friend had some funky giant scrappy potato skin thing in her home fries. Yup... and WE got yelled at! Lunatic!! We are seasonal in the area for the past 10 years - and we have and will continue to dissuade people from going here. read more

Done with this place...........left Hollow cafe for this??????? Each time it's....I'll make it up to you.......what with a side of bacon??????? ridik............my last straw was an egg whit omelet.............2 of the same breakfasts.........one had yellow mixed in, the other was undercooked.......I had to put in in the microwave for three minutes (this was takeout)........the home fries for both were scraps.....the toast was soggy and the bacon.......soggy as wee............I've had problems b4 but 3 strikes your out! read more

For those who read any of my other reviews, You know that I try to be objective, accurate, and try to present the review in a good spirit. That said, Grandma and I went back to NMV and I was really hoping for the best but low, they have not changed a bit. They did not fail to disappoint me. The coffee was ok and the tea was hot. Service was good. Grandma really liked the Italian omelet. But, she ordered also a blueberry biscuit and it arrived with the omelet's tomato sauce on the biscuit. The waitress realized nobody puts tomato sauce on a blueberry biscuit so she brought a separate dish for the biscuit, but still with the tomato sauce. We didn't believe she did that. The right thing to do would have been to get a fresh biscuit. I ordered the 2-2-2, pancakes with bacon and scrambled eggs. I got 2 silver dollar size pancakes (the menu did say that exactly), the scrambled eggs arrived as over easy eggs, and 2 really sad looking pieces of bacon. Needless to say I left there hungry. Most other places at least serve a medium size pancake short stack. And, the kicker is that the pancakes were not good, especially for a bakery, really disappointingly they were not fluffy and stuck to the roof of my mouth. I often wonder on occasion like this whether the staff ever looks at the plate and asks themself, "does this meal reflect well on my restaurant?". It's not really bad food so I have to give them some stars, but they are full of surprises, and I never had even one meal there I liked. But, needless to say, I will probably go back there again in a few months and subject myself to "pot luck breakfast". ha! ha! read more

This place is a bit of a hidden gem. The service is very very friendly, fast, accommodating. The food is very good, generous servings, very cheap. They have a breakfast burrito on the menu and while New England is not known for their breakfast burritos, this one is actually pretty darn good. Their Eggs Benedicts--various styles--are excellent as well. And--good coffee. All in all an extremely satisfying breakfast with a smile. read more

I recently moved to Newburyport and this place instantly became one of my favorites. I go here for breakfast every chance I get. I have also had a custom birthday cake made here. It was a tiramisu cake so I was told that writing on it would be difficult because of the powdery topping. I told the woman taking my order that it's okay if it isn't possible to write on the cake, but to my surprise when I picked it up, the cake not only had "Happy Birthday" written on it, but it was also decorated with frosting flowers on top. It was delicious, and I appreciated the amount of effort put in to making this cake special. The only criticism I have is that one time I ordered the Belgian waffle with blueberries and whipped cream and it was cold and stiff. I couldn't eat it. The waitress politely explained that "the blueberries and whipped cream cool the waffle down quite a bit and it always comes out this way". However, I really don't think that they should have it on the menu if it comes out this way every time. That's no excuse, there are ways to make it hot (warm the blueberries up before hand)... This has been my only negative experience and they took it away and did not charge me for the plate. Anyway - I still love the spinach and tomato eggs Benedict and everything else I have had on the menu tasted great! read more

This place is fantastic!! It's my favorite breakfast diner. You walk in and seat yourself. It's never ridiculously busy, so that's not hard. The layout is pretty neat-- most of it is a low catwalk-like bar with stools, and there are booths off to the side. The food is surprisingly cheap, but hot damn, it is soooo good. So good. And the portions are huge! I almost always have to take some home, or get half-orders. Even half-orders are PLENTY. With the eggs benedict, you get four eggs and two english muffins with whatever variety you ordered's fixins smothering them. The omelets take up the whole plate, and are always perfect. Their bacon is crispy, and thick. Great coffee! They let you know what kinds of coffee they have that morning-- you never know what you're going to be offered. It's always given super-hot (same as the food), so be careful. Haha. This cute younger waitress with short hair and glasses is my favorite, but all the waitresses there are attentive and friendly. They know everything on the menu and have their own favorites, so don't be afraid to ask what theirs is if you've never been. I always leave stuffed, and grinning like a fool. Usually with a white box under my arm. read more

I agree with C.P. about this being a hidden gem. Though, it is really not hidden so much as it is just in a ho-hum location. The service is friendly and the food is really good. You can never go wrong with their eggs Benedict! I am a huge fan of their baked beans but go easy at first as they are hot as lava when they come out of the kitchen! The pastry counter has a nice selection of tempting treats. If you are looking for a consistently good breakfast fare with a nice selection and friendly staff (and who isn't?!), get in your car, drive over the bridge and embrace the glory that is Marsh View Cafe! read more

French toast was good but hash browns were very bland....no salt or seasoning whatsoever. Waitress also forgot to bring them with order and walked away had to ask for them. Loved the coffee came in a big mug. Could be better read more

Another place where looks can be deceiving - unassuming storefront in multi-unit building hides not only a place that serves delicious breakfast options for reasonable prices but has a bakery too serving up homemade muffins, breakfast breads, and other goodies. And my biggest make-or-break item: the coffee. Served in generous mugs, it's hot and strong but not bitter. Just be sure to get there early to beat the lines on weekends. read more

Completely mediocre. My hash and cheese omelette was good and home fries also. Portions on the smaller side for the $. The steak tip breakfast for $9.99 consisted of one strip of an over done piece of steak , I was expecting some nice juicy steak tips. The air conditioner either needs to be turned up or fixed. All in all average. The pastry looked very good but I didn't get a chance to try it. Wait staff was nice. read more

I have been here a lot and breakfast is always good. It is one of the only breakfast places in the area with espresso. Lunch is just ok. Corn chowder has sugar added to it--someone obviously likes it this way, but it is too sweet for me. Fish chowder is tasty, but mostly celery and 2 small tiny pieces of fish. Onion rings are not homemade. Chewy and greasy. read more

Amazingly awful! Rude service. I hate to give this place even ONE star. Waited over 45 minutes for breakfast. Had to go up to the counter twice. Was told that they were very busy. Ok. But a third of the tables were empty. When breakfast came, it was slapped down on the table in front of us. And it wasn't what we ordered. Called the waitress back. What's wrong with the hollandaise? she demanded. Well, we didn't order it. This is not what we ordered. She snatched up both plates up and stalked away. Now I've worked in food services and the last thing you want to do is piss off your wait staff. So I was very polite and very respectful throughout this entire exchange. Even the people in tables around us were appalled to the point of actually talking to us about it. Was there an hour and did not get breakfast. Paid for our coffees and went to Angies! LOVE Angies! Going back to Nancy's. Never. read more

We live Nancys. The owners and waitstaff (Rhonda is aweome) are wonderful, coffees always good, menu good, always with great daily special board. Don't miss their bakery counter w lots of yummy homemade treats. I love love love their special order birthday cakes. Hubby got me a white cake with buttercream frosting for my birthday party and everyone loved it. read more

The best place for Breakfast! You"ll get what you ordered . And the have a Bakery fresh breads , and muffins.

My boyfriend and I came here for breakfast and it was amazing! I had eggs and home fries with toast and he had banana pancakes. They were delicious! Great service and prices. I would definitely recommend. read more

I go here every once in a while for lunch and it is very good. Today, I met a friend for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. It was very busy there and tables kept turning over, so there was never a wait. IT is a big place for locals. The waitress came right over and greeted us, took our drink order and was right back. She was very very attentive. I had a sausage and cheddar omelet with home fries and rye toast. It was all cooked to perfection and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant! Food is excellent, prices are good! read more

Top notch place for comfort food. I have been mainly for breakfast meals, but based on my few lunch orders, I'd give Marsh View two thumbs up. The service is great. Pleasant staff and the owner is often seen working the tables. It has a nice family home town feel to it. Pricing is very reasonable. They have a bakery display case that makes leaving without a treat difficult! read more
