Nice little shop within Exeter…read more The moment you walk-in, there's a nice warm and cozy feeling of being at home. The counter is filled with treats. All too tempting to have. I got a 20oz. Chai Latte. Make sure you let them know if you want hot because they default to cold. I love the warm and rich Chai flavor in this breezy November weather. My daughter and I shared the lentil soup and turkey havarti sandwich. It tasted really good. The sandwiches are warm straight from the grill. The soup is rich and full of flavor. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I like this atmosphere.

First of all, the place was mobbed and people seemed to be happily eating. The line was quick. I ordered the "veritable veggie" sandwich ($9.95 w/chips) and the peach passionfruit iced tea. Both came fast and were excellent. Bread was fresh and veggies were crisp. Noise wasn't too bad except for a semi-rude couple on their phones who thought we needed to hear their conversations. But all in all a fine experience. Need to go 5 starts to improve upon the poor ratings!

Another 1 star review, and I was so hopeful that I could return after abandoning this restraint…read moreafter it opened its new location, where they took 40 minutes to serve me a sandwich that was so cold it didn't feel like it had sat on a counter, it felt like they had taken it out of the refrigerator. Today I waited 20 minutes for a chicken sandwich with Buffalo sauce, and some tenders with Ginger garlic sauce. They can out reversed. The kitchen lied to our server and told us we were wrong, but really? I don't know what buffalo sauce tastes like. And the server didn't know the difference, she just brought the same old food back out. We were already on our way out the door. Even if they lied and told us it was US that were wrong, we were not going to be gaslit into eating incorrectly prepared meals. I spoke with the manager. I admit I was obviously upset, but I did not raise my voice or curse, and she seemed to think that because I was upset she could be dismissive and not actually recognize the kitchens mistake, but chose to try and make it about my behavior. Maybe this manager is where the kitchen learned to gaslight people from. It will be a long, long time before I give them another chance, and sadly, according to Yelp, I am the Duke of Wing Itz, as I have checked in there more than any other reviewer.

The tofu was really nicely seasoned and the dressing was excellent as well. The restaurant was not at all busy and the service was very attentive.

The…read moreplace that we were going to go to was closing & this was the only other breakfast place I could think of since it was almost 1pm. It has been years since I've been in here or eaten in here. This use to be one of the "spots" to go late night back in my 20's for some grub. Boy how it has changed over the years. It wasn't very busy when we arrived, one family with a nosy kid (lol) & two other tables with customers @ them. We waited a few minutes before Connie came over to us to give us menus and take our drink order. I got a soda water & man it tasted sooooooo good! They serve Pepsi products which my friend nor I are fans of (I don't drink soda anymore) so my friend just went with a water. I started us off with the cheese curds & I've never seen cheese curds like these before. Small, fried squared pieces of cheese which looked like French toast bits....lol They were OK & came with a nice, sweet & not so spicy dipping sauce. I went with an omelet with Swiss cheese, mushrooms & red onions. It looked pretty sad & small. The onions were long pieces which I would have preferred them to be diced up. They don't mix all the ingredients in the eggs & just fold the egg over the ingredients inside. I prefer the ingredients mixed into the egg mixture. The hash browns were good but another small portion. Their prices are way over priced for the food quality that they serve. This isn't a fancy restaurant, I know it's a truck stop but I feel like it was a better quality many years ago. I thought the raspberry donut cheesecake looked good from the picture of it on their menu & Connie told me it was good, so good that sometimes "she has it for breakfast." LOL I wasn't impressed & it tasted kinda dried out, maybe it was old/older? I don't think that this is a place I would ever venture back to eat at unfortunately. The only thing that was good was our waitress Connie!

Instead, CP will be reviewed among the other chains who's primary audience is made up of captive truckers. That said, this is the best Country Pride I have been to in the entire country. The salad bar was clean, stocked, fresh, and all the salad and soup bowls were clean and neatly stacked. The lettuce was not wilted, discolored, or wet. The cherry tomatoes were not wrinkled, soft, or soaking in a puddle of juice. The soups were hot and fresh and there was no sloppy mess of spilled soup from people who must think a ladle is a freehanded catapult. The staff (Colleen) was friendly and although she forgot my Tobasco, it wasn't needed because I didn't need to fake flavor.

Perfect bagel place. No notes…read more When you're heading home from vacation, you have to go out with a bang, e.g. one last great meal. But the car is packed, you're sweaty from packing the car, the dog's inside, it's ninety degrees out, and suddenly a sit-down brunch is the worst idea anyone's ever had. A breakfast sandwich is the obvious move... but Dunks isn't ending anyone's vacation on a high note. What you actually want is a bagel shop *that is also a deli*, because obviously you're going to convince yourself this sandwich needs something bougie like avocado. And maybe red onion. Maybe sprouts. Maybe all three. (See aforementioned note about still being on vacation) Of course you also need a place with online ordering, so you can tick little boxes and assemble your slightly unhinged sandwich in private. (btw the person making it is either judging you or admiring your vision. Cream cheese AND bacon? OK I see you.) Place the order as you're leaving Ogunquit and it's waiting for you by the time you hit Kittery. The next thing you know, the whole car is rolling down I-95 in complete silence because everyone is chewing away with cream cheese in the corners of their mouths. A word of advice, don't forget the napkins
