    Breakfast Menu 2025.08

    Nothing fancy, just decently priced good food. Plenty of parking. Extremely pleasant staff.

    Happened to find this spot while searching on Yelp for breakfast places around Hammonasset Beach State Park. This place delivered big time with amazing service and delicious food. "New England charm" meets " everybody knows your name " kind of place and we love it! Adorable coffee mugs and cute juice glasses, huge pancakes and the pieces of fruit that came with our eggs dishes , everything that I was expecting and more !!

    Half order of oatmeal with fruit. Blueberry muffin, and tea

    Wonderful service! Nice outdoor seating, so I could bring my dog. Delicious food. Highly recommend for breakfast! The inside is dated but in a very quaint way. Just what you want a diner to be. They got those thick coffee mugs too.

    We have been here repeatedly over the years and always get the best service and consistently great food. Both breakfast and lunch menus are excellent. Fresh ingredients and strong coffee! Reminds me of my best friend's mom's restaurant back in rural Minnesota where everyone knew each other and they cook for you like your family.

    Who doesn't serve breakfast all day? I thought breakfast was by far the most profitable meal of…read morethe day and hence restaurants would never NOT serve breakfast. No matter, we were there before 11AM so we were served breakfast. The server we had was excellent she was a former employee of the Coffee Break which was the old restaurant in this location. The place is LOUD. The decor is new and refreshed. There is NO WHEEL CHAIR ACCESS (which surprised me as they just renovated the place. One would think the Town of Clinton would have required it.) I had the Breakfast Wrap with sausage and american cheese. It was good and filling. $7.00 (in May 2026) My companion had the Quinoa Omelette pictured 1/2 eaten ($14.75 in May 2026) which was good. The home fries had a little too much salt but were otherwise excellent. Personally when there is salt actually on the table, I always wonder why the cook just lightly dusts with salt as I can add more. We also ordered a fresh fruit cup which had grapes purple and green, strawberries, and a few hard pieces of honey dew melon. $6.50 (May 2026) In May 2026 the hours are 0700-1430 MON - SAT 0700-1200 SUN ****WARNING**** They stop servicing breakfast items at 11AM They do take credit cards BUT... They used to take it right at the table now, they don't which means you wait to pay. Bad move on the owner's part. There is plenty of free parking. I imagine there will be waits once the summer season gets going so plan to wait (maybe on the weekends)?

    This place is amazing, the food so fresh and so good. The service very helpful and accommodating…read more The place is very modern and outside seating near river. Pictures of food will talk for themselves.
