Amazing food and even more amazing wait staff! Such a pleasant little bakery and cafe!!

Amazing lunch!!!!! I got the special of the day which was 11/10! Delicious. Great sandwich and cup of soup. Came with a cookie to top it off! My husband got the French onion chicken sandwich and loved it. Even the macaroni salad and fries are great. You can't miss at this spot! read more

In town visiting my Aunt. Told her I'd bring lunch. Now.... What should I bring! Looked up Quiche. Something special came up. I called to gave them out a few slices away for me. ( so they don't sell out). Walked in to the cutest place! Greeted so warmly. Told them I called. Sure. Got the Quiche Lorraine that came with side salads. Honestly... delicious! Creamy. Salads were so fresh and beautiful. Wish I had bought pastries or muffins. Can't wait to return. read more

I really enjoy the ambience of this place. It is a small business with local artwork in the walls. Every time I have visited, it has always been very clean (top 5% of all restaurants I have visited). I have always received friendly service while here. On my most recent visit, I had a garden omelette which was slightly brown for my taste. It was the second time I ordered an omelette there, and both times, they were cooked that way. Perhaps that is their standard, but I don't prefer my omelette that way. The home fries were ok -- not terribly flavorful, but certainly not awful (a little S&P was what they needed). But I will say that their breads are incredible! I really enjoy all the various types of bread they offer, and I was told by multiple servers that they are made fresh daily. I have yet to try their croissants or baked goods, but I'm sure I will at some point. I prefer to spend my money at small, locally-owned businesses, so I will continue to visit here. Since I enjoy the bread so much, I'll be visiting during lunch next time. read more

Excellent homemade food here..they make everything on site. I had a salmon lime sandwich that was very good. They also make cupcakes and other bakery type things as well... read more

Want to love this place but....I'm here fir the croissants and they're not quite there. Neither flaky or airy enough and too sweet but otherwise serviceable. The sourdough...sorry, not quite there. Breakfast potatoes were not only just deep fried cubes, they were not cooked through as well as cold. Just a bummer. On the plus side the coffee was good and the food is generally pretty good, I'm just in it for the croissants though. read more

My friend is always complaining that there is no where nice to eat in Wilkes-Barre, but then we went here and I think he now needs to stop his complaining. Doesn't look like much from the outside but don't let that fool you! Nice interior with a decent amount of space. Lots of daily specials of food and drink await you. I had a cup of lasagna soup which was recommended by our very nice waitress. Was excellent. The only weird thing was the bread they gave with the soup which was just a bit blah. Had the mushroom gouda melt which was fantastic! Honestly some of the best sourdough bread on a grilled sandwich ever. Just extremely soft yet crispy. Gouda is always a win although the sandwich was a tad oily and was surprisingly heavy for being vegetarian food. My friend was very pleased with his food too. We got some cookies to go which were also excellent (chocolate chip). The rest of the baked goods available in the display case looked great too. Only downside is that I thought the prices were a bit steep given its geographical location. But the food was good enough that I don't think it matters. If you're in the area or just driving through, you MUST check out this place! read more

I love this little gem! I had previously visited for coffee, pastries and breakfast and enjoyed it. Now I have had their soup/1/2 sandwich combo- and loved it. I had the Nicole (Turkey, apples, cheese, cranberry mayo in fresh grain bread) and the Autumn Harvest soup and found everything to be so fresh and delicious. Will definitely continue to dine here and recommend to others. read more

My lunch was not ready when I went to pick up (they were extremely busy). They apologized and I did not mind at all waiting. I was offered a free dozen homemade cookies for my understanding and everyone was very sweet. And I also need to mention our lunches were delicious!! Please support this small business, they sure did not need to offer me this as I was absolutely understanding they were busy. Wonderful customer service! read more

Kind of an easy-to-miss hole in the wall. Don't miss it! Huge delicious sandwiches (chicken salad and tuna melt) on fabulous breads. Good strong coffee served with a smile by a waiter(!). And really great in house baked goods- not just croissants. A great find. read more

Yum! Checkout their daily menu post on FB for up to date items/baked goods. They offer some great vegetarian options. The last thing i had was the Sweet Heat sandwich. It consists of baby spinach, cheddar cheese, avocado, red onion, jalepeno strawberry jam on oat bread for $9.50. The last time i had it, it was made perfectly. The time before there was hardly any of the jam on it so it was pretty dry. I always ordered it to go and it doesn't come with any side. Not even a little one. I've never eaten in house, but many people do and love it. Also... If they ever have a chilled fruit soup/gazpacho make sure to get it. They are something else and definitely something special. Super tasty. read more

AMAZING sandwiches. The macaroni salad is th best in this valley!

Not bad for NEPA. Hard to find a good breakfast place in the area, but I'd come back to this one. Coffee wasn't great. Service adequate. Relatively cheap eating. Pastries looked good but we didn't get any. read more

I have used the catering portion of this restaurant numerous times and they never fail me. I recently went for lunch and had the "thanksgiving" sandwich on there cranberry bread. It was truly the best I have ever had. Always great food and the service is top notch!! read more

Ok so I was slightly disappointed but I'm still going to give them 4 stars. The reason is that I was looking for more of a sit-down breakfast restaurant place that day and I guess I overestimated their menu selection. The breakfast meal selection is fairly small, however the items we got were delicious. They have a nice selection of breads and other baked goods. We tried their home made pop tarts and doughnuts which were both great. It was a cute little cafe with a nice atmosphere. I would definitely go again, just not if I was in the mood for a big breakfast. read more

Too expensive for what you actually get. $9.25 Panzanella Salad looks more like a side salad - three pieces of a tomato, a few chunks of mozzarella, two cucumber slices cut in half, no basil, and a tiny portion of lettuce. Very disappointing - especially since I can't take it back bc it was ordered to-go and am back at work. read more

Love the cinnamon sticks. But you have to get there early to buy them. I have lunch here quite often and love the clean whole foods they prepare Breakfast is the best in the valley. Live 2eggs over light. The cranberry walnut bread is addicting. Enjoy. read more

Such a cute hidden gem. The coffee was fantastic and the food was even better, we'll have to return for the baked goods. We were so full from lunch! I got a house salad that had perfectly sweet candied pecans on it! Heaven! My boyfriend had a reuben that was massive! We will defiantly be back. So glad we found this place. The prices are on point for the quality and defiantly worth it! read more

This is a little lunch (or breakfast) place in Kingston. They've got great soups, sandwiches, and salads, as well as a ton of bakery items (breads, cookies, pies, etc) and weekly specials. I've never been disappointed, honestly. My favorites are the Nicole sandwich (turkey, Swiss, romaine, apples, and cranberry mayo on cranberry walnut bread, though I suggest it on a house made croissant) and the always delightful quiche Lorraine. They also have a breakfast special every Saturday that looks delicious... I've yet to try it, though, as I can never wake up early enough. If you're looking for a cute cafe or lunch place in the area, consider making Something Special your regular haunt. read more

We went here the other day for breakfast. Another restaurant that we can walk to. I found it to be very cozy and clean. Service was really great. I will give the coffee 5 stars. Best coffee I have had so far in Kingston. The baked goods looked very good as well. As four our meals...I got your standard two eggs over easy bacon and potatoes. It was good, tough to mess that up. My wife got a croissant breakfast sandwich. I had a bite and it was light and tasty. I will definitely go back again. Pretty straight forward, won't blow you away but you won't be disappointed either. Overall a good experience. read more

The highlight of Something Special is their baked goods. They change everyday and always exceed expectations. They can range from cupcakes to cheesecakes to pies to creampuffs to basically anything else you can think of. What whimsical idea the baker has that day, you'll be sure to enjoy. They also have options for pastry platters which combine an assortment of their goodies to take to the office or family get together. They are always extremely accommodating and have always fulfilled my orders in a timely fashion. I have never tried their main cafe menu but I have tried their specials a handful of times. Each time I've been extremely satisfied. Specials are usually updated on their Facebook page on Monday, but they're not super consistent about updating. My only (small) disappointment is that they do not have WiFi for customers. read more

I've read mixed reviews on the dining experience here, but I have to say mine was so delightful! My server was sweet as pie the food was absolutely amazing and the bill was very reasonable. I've come before for takeout but I'll definitely be back again for the dining experience! read more

Something Special is a small spot for lunch and breakfast. They offer a daily special. LOVE the creamy pasta salad side! The service is excellent and the turn around time on your order is reasonable. The menu is somewhat on the smaller side, which I prefer, and it changes often. Still haven't made it for a Saturday breakfast special, but really hope to! Homemade bakery items daily. All of the sandwiches are served on their own bread. You can even buy a loaf before you head out the door. read more

Nice cozy place for breakfast. The house plate is hearty and tasty. The croissant sandwiches are a favorite of my wife. Staff is friendly. My only complaint is that it is a bit stuffy. They need to get an air conditioner. read more

I've been to Something Special many, many times. Today I stopped in for something to eat because I had a headache. The music was loud and I wanted to be where it was quiet so I went to the back area. A male server told me it was closed down. When I told him I had a headache and wanted to be where it was quiet he said, "Well it's closed. You can't go back there." I told him that I'd take my order and go sit in the car. He got an attitude, calling me rude. I told him I had a headache and his comment was, "Then why are you out in public?" "The world is for happy people. Get happy. You shouldn't be out in public." He's calling me rude???? read more

The best chicken salad in the valley. I often get it for my grandmother. She loves their croissants whereas I love the cranberry walnut bread. I just wish they gave the homemade chips on to go orders as you receive in house. That's my only gripe well that and parking is very hard to find. Desserts are pricey but tasty read more

Love this place go here all the time. Never have been disappointed. The girls that run this place are awesome. The baker is the best. Really love the atmosphere. Nice and comfy. Hidden gem in the middle of Kingston. Can't believe they are here sometimes. Make sure you go you won't be disappointed the place is amazing. :) read more
