Visited the Greenery Market & Cafe Mediocre breakfast sandwiches and pastries Worst cappuccinos I've had in quite some time, couple of sips before submitting to reality and dumping them out. $1 charge for a cup of water Mercifully there wasn't a charge to use the bathroom although upon entry I was greeted by the realization that they store what appears to be paper pastry boxes inside the bathroom near the toilet. There are far better places to spend your money on breakfast in town. read more

We came to the greenery restaurant to enjoy another wonderful experience. We hadn't been in a few years and our excitement was building as we walked in the door and seen the familiar muffins and home style atmosphere. While I can attest we had that very experience, walking in the door, the server was the one who greeted us and was very cordial. On the other side, we had a very uncomfortable experience from what appeared to be the owner or manager that day. Behind our booth where we sat was an electrical plug and seeing that our phone was on 3%, we plugged in. There was a painting that we carefully shifted a little to get to the plug. No harm, just made the painting a little ajar. After about 20 min the aforementioned individual barges over very abruptly and says "you NEED TO UNPLUG YOUR PHONE, I need to straighten that picture" and was extremely rude about it. Instead of politely asking if I'd mind removing the plug as they would prefer the picture to be straight. I would have never had a problem with asking or a gentle explanation as to the reason why. She was very unprofessional to a paying customer and not appealing to make us want to EVER return AGAIN. I approached her on the way out to let her know she could have handled the situation a little nicer and that I apologized for not understanding the value of her "$2000k" painting. Her nasty bite back was very unprofessional and not what I would consider a business owner who is trying to run a business in a very off season time of year to react in that manner. Unfortunately, she left a taste in our whole party in the way her unwelcoming persona was projected. We also battled many fruit flies while eating and they were out of many items on the menu. read more

We stopped here on our way down to Boston. It is a must and you must make a stop when in the area as you can't beat this spot for food, service and atmosphere. Had the crab Saratoga. What can i say, so perfectly crafted with eggs, cheese, chives, crab, onions, everything so melded together so well. Think of salmon and eggs but way better. My toast was marbled rye. Served with a side of toasted bread of your choice* and some stellar coffee from a local roaster.** My son had their standard breakfast that was more like a sampler of all breakfast items, pancakes, eggs, bacon and toast-he chose cinnamon sugar toast. Let me tell you, they served it toasted with a side homemade strawberry jam. It totally blew out minds! The wife had crab cake bennies and i didn't hear her speak while she ate so i yet it they were good? Also, she didn't share. Couldn't leave Maine without a blueberry pancake. Their, blueberry or not, was just stupendous. Fluffy airy and full of blueberries. They served it with Maine maple syrup. I'm telling you, it was our of this world! *We walked in and saw they have all these incredibly looking baked goods, from muffins to loaves of bread. Well, The Greenery is also a bakery. The meal was so impressive that as we closed our check, we also ordered some muffins to go, a half loaf of their ridiculous sourdough and s loaf of their cinnamon bread so e could bring it back to Texas. **Coffee was so good, we asked what coffee they used and it turns out it was from a local roaster. I was from a town over and we ended up paying them a visit (review later). I'd go back to Maine just to eat there. Excellent experience and glorious food. Hands down one the friendliest places we've ever eaten with some of the best food we've ever had. read more

Great breakfast in a cool location. We really enjoyed the food and the experience. Maine blueberry pancakes were excellent.

I knew it was going to be a great experience when I walked in and heard them greeting customers by name and knowing their usuals. Rebecca was the kindest server I've ever had and the food was incredible! read more

By far our favorite breakfast that we had in Ogunquit! We only had to wait a few minutes and then were seated at the counter. We looked over and saw their muffins and knew we had to try them for ourselves - they were still a little warm, and my double chocolate one might as well have been a chocolate lava cake, which was perfect for a chocoholic like me! My husband enjoyed his blueberry muffin. The wait for the food was actually pretty long (like 45 minutes) and the server apologized and took the muffins off of the bill for us, which we thought was really sweet. Since we had the muffins first, we were pretty full by the time our breakfast arrived, but wow was it delicious. Sitting there we picked up on how the servers worked really well together, and we admired how well they were keeping up with the volume of customers. I'm going to be dreaming of this breakfast for a while and will 100% be back! read more

Update to the Owner: You may have a good following that is all-good with the way you handle things. You also must remember, many are tourists. You cannot tell me people were complaining as you were inside while your staff was doing all they could to handle the demand. My guest saw you at the bar. A business owner supports their staff. I cringe to imagine the way you run a "tight ship". You should be ASHAMED the way you talk to customers. I read a few of your replies. You remember: CUSTOMERS are why you have what you do and the money you have. Without us, you have NOTHING. Your pompous attitude is disgusting and I see exactly why the service is a complaint. I'm sure it's tough finding anyone to tolerate being demeaned and mistreated. The parent whose child you demeaned did have a right to review your spot. They were there TO PATRONIZE your business. You were too pompous and ungrateful. You're a hateful, spiteful business owner and you act like you DESERVE the business and that you can treat folks any way you'd like. They were international visitors and that was more than clear. They weren't smoking on your patio or even in your parking lot. She was on PUBLIC property. You don't own the public street. Your entitlement is mind-blowing. Does your partner run the business this way too? Appalling. Lastly, do the locals know you have 6+ active violations for food safety, which is verified via public record? You could've treated them with respect and handled it like a mature adult. And let me know where all the signage was, I can post up more photos. Best of luck long-term with that attitude. I could tell the staff isn't very thrilled. As a customer, it is pretty obvious. Enjoy your following. I'll happily take my business elsewhere in Ogunquit. And nobody cares you sell 400 muffins a day. You're a hateful business owner who feels entitled to the patronage. Money doesn't change the person you are and how you behave towards other people. It's called human decency. You lack that. The cherry on top: the nasty response to the lady with water. You don't need to respond to a CUSTOMER in such a vile and vicious manner. Why treat a customer that way who likely would've patronized you? Word is slowly getting around about you from reviews I can read. 400 muffins turns into foreclosure very quickly. read more

Super crowded brunch/lunch spot for the locals. Few outdoor seating but mainly indoor. They have a wide selection on their menu and they also have a bakery section display placed at the front entrance. Some of their items like the crab and lobster are market price and higher, but for the most part everything is about the going standard price. One drawback was the wait time for the food. We were promptly seated, but could tell the staff were running around and busy with the tables. However, our food once we ordered took nearly 35-40 minutes which is ridiculously long. The quality of food was pretty good. I opted for the gobbler sandwhich. You can tell they really stuff the sandwich full and soak it in the butter. The lunch sides are different from the breakfast choice of sides, but they don't mind if you prefer one or the other. Convenient place right off the main road, but parking could be limited on the spaces so it could be hard if it is crowded. read more

Everything is amazing! Great service fantastic food and the world's greatest host! Such a handsome and well spoken young man

If you're visiting Ogunquit, I'd definitely add this cute breakfast spot to the list! The BLT was the best BLT I've ever had, so do yourself a favor and order it. The blueberry muffin was tasty, but I probably wouldn't order it again. The service was okay, staff pushing to get you in and out. read more

I came here at the beginning of summer 2021 with my boyfriend and we had the best tomato soup and lobster eggs benedict. We went back this past weekend - walk in, 1 hour wait - because I couldn't stop thinking about the tomato soup. It was just as good as I remembered, creamy and slightly acidic and a little sweet and overall very comforting. Other things we ordered: Blueberry pancake (I'm not a huge fan of butter so not my fave), crab saratoga (boyfriend really liked this), and mushroom ravioli (interesting buttery nutty flavor). Everything was good but I'll keep coming back just for the tomato soup. read more

Great little place and very popular. I had the corned beef hash omelette with cinnamon toast. Was wonderful! Service was very good. Took a little while to get the food but it was very busy so I imagine the kitchen was slammed. The cinnamon bread is amazing. Only thing, I wish they made decaf lattes. But the food was amazing! read more

The food here was absolutely divine! The dishes were expertly prepared, and the lavender limonada was a real game-changer. I highly recommend this place for an unforgettable breakfast experience. Service was also good. Trust me, you won't regret it! read more

There are no real reviews or pics of lunch, so I wasn't sure if Greenery's lunch would be tasty. But they have such amazing brunch/breakfast reviews, I figured it would be good. And it was. Ambience-wise, the outside isn't amazing. You're in a parking lot, under a tent. But the waitress was very sweet and the food is delish. Service was pretty fast, too.... I got the southwest chicken salad and my husband got the Buffalo chicken wrap with the shredded potatoes on the side. The potatoes needed some salt, but otherwise, it was all fantastic!!! Good, quality food and very good portions. I devoured my salad - couldn't even fully finish it because I was so full!! If our hotel didn't have breakfast, I would have gone here. Maybe next time. But I'll def come back for lunch in the future! read more

Service was very slow took about an hour and 20 minutes to get a breakfast for our table of four. Business unable to split checks shouldn't be that difficult with computer technology. Have a wide variety from their yogurt parfait, eggs, Benny to their Mexican tortilla breakfast. The tortilla failed to have the jalapeño cheese sauce and lacked flavor. Many other opportunities in the area with better service and better quality of food, place is always busy. You'll wait 30 or 40 minutes to be seated. Something must've went south on this visit. Won't be back. read more

Every visit has been a treat. I'm a fan of the breakfast burrito while my better half enjoys the benedicts. The place is always jamming and the folks that run things are amazing and wear a smile even with their "challenging" customers. We've been at least a dozen times and there's a reason: consistent service, food, and atmosphere. Expect to wait on Sunday morning, but maybe buy a delicious blueberry muffin while you do. 9/10 rating for us. Cheers! read more

great food. loved the pesto breakfast sandwich. sat outside, it was very nice. cute little town

Best breakfast in Ogunquit!! I personally prefer hitting up their bakery on the weekends, but during the week this is where you need to spend your morning breakfast. I'm not sure who these people are complaining, but this place is legit good...not "tourist" good. The coffee, the baked goods, and the breakfast sandwiches are fantastic. People complaining about service are probably the most pretentious people on earth, because this is what to expect in any Northeastern breakfast spot, actually they are quite a bit nicer. This is also a major tourist town, so they have to deal with out of towners all morning..mostly with a staff of HS or college students. We love Ogunquit because of the beach, and come usually right at the beginning of the season. I'm sure the end of the season everyone is at their wits end. Definitely where to go if you want above average coffee and breakfast in this area. read more

To help break up the drive home on our Maine-cation, we decided to stay a night on the Southern Coast. So many little gems! This is a little on the outskirts of town, so there is plentiful dedicated parking, seating and absolutely delicious food! My partner got the crab Saratoga - scrambled eggs, crab, cream cheese and scallions AND an egg / hollandaise sauce on top. I did a custom egg white, veggie, crab scramble. The crab and veggies were so fresh and the hash potatoes / toast were so filling and good! I love that they do half orders of French Toast - more flavors to try! We did a half maple walnut order and a half blueberry. When in Maine! The maple walnut was divine - light and the right amount of sweet. The blueberry came w fresh blueberries AND delicious blueberry compote - you want to spread it on everything! We loved Maine, and this meal was representative of all the goodness in Maine. Wait was reasonable, staff gracious and hospitable. Great meal in a beautiful town. Many thanks! read more

Came here before a day at the beach so my friends could get something to eat. I have celiac and have to eat gluten free. When I came here they had premade donuts in a safely sealed container from another manufacturer. So I grabbed some tiny donuts, a bag of chips, and a coffee for gluten free option. The muffins here looked absolutely out of this world amazing, they're just not gluten free. read more

My first time at the Greenery Cafe was before the pandemic but, I had such good memories, I decided to come again this trip. I knew it got busy so I arrived just before 8am and I was so happy to be seated right away. There were tables outside but without asking, they gave me a cozy seat inside. I ordered iced coffee and when I took my sip, I was soo sad because I was expecting something to rival my premade iced coffee from the grocery store. While it was drinkable, I wouldn't rush to order it again. For my meal, I ordered the Western Scramble and replaced the ham with sausage, I was offered the option of a omelet in place of the scramble but declined. It came with shredded potatoes and toast of your choice. OMG!! This did not disappoint. The eggs were perfectly cooked and I enjoyed the peppers and I definitely made the right call with the sausage, it was super flavorful and juicy. The scramble had loads of onions and not that many peppers but the flavors worked well. The sourdough was freshly made and perfectly buttered. The flavors were pronounced but lacked that bite you only find on the west coast. While I did not receive bad service at all, it was standard and didn't blow my hair back so there really isn't much to say. My timing was perfect because just as I was finishing up, I saw that there was a line beginning to form. Paid my tip and headed out for the day. read more

Hey Ya'll it's me again your neighborhood foodie. Now ya'll know I don't write a review unless I got some tea to spill. So I went to this place and first let me say we got seated very quickly. After that all bets were off. The food took 40 minutes to come out. Did I mention I only ordered 1 fn pancake and a breakfast sandwich. At the 30 minute mark I asked for a manager and here is where I want to warn you of the STRAIGHT UP RUDE MANAGEMENT. If she is supposed to be cooking in the kitchen let her stay there because customer service she knows NOTHING ABOUT! She came to the table already to place blame on anyone but her slow ass. She NEVER apologized for the wait only that the grill had little to no space to put another pancake. Finally the one pancake comes not only was it COLD did not taste good at all. The waitress was sweet and apologized 6 times (yup 6). She asked if she could take to pancake off and the manager said no. SMH. Who does at? Finally the waitress was able to take the pancake off. Walking out the I did notice they had muffins and coffee that looked delicious but by then I was was not giving this ratchet place any more of my time or money. Long story longer everything that looks good is NOT!!!! Don't Bother. read more

Wanted to grab breakfast after getting our tree and this restaurant came recommended and it was delicious

Wow! Get the biscuits and gravy! You will not be disappointed. Best I ever had, the Biscuits are homemade and the gravy was not paste-y nor floury. Truly well executed Gravy!! Delicious. Long wait, but we'll worth it. read more

Awful vanilla iced coffee tasted like the coffee was watered down before adding half and half (which did nothing to improve the taste). Not an enjoyable experience. read more

Remember they are CLOSED on Thursday. Went to eat there once again on the wrong day, my bad. Because they really are great. I can't wait to eat there again. I've had breakfast there, and I've had lunch there, and I was very impressed with both. So I was really mad at myself for not remembering their hours because I live about three hours away and don't get there as often as I'd like. read more

Jam packed for mediocre food and the most unexpectedly nasty and unaccommodating service from the moment you step up to be seated. I grew up in OGT and know literally everyone in town. My dear friends from my childhood are business owners all over Ogunquit. I have every intention of sharing my most recent experience at The Greenery with them, including long time friends on the zoning board. Not only is the food underwhelming, the atmosphere is average and this is the second time (had been here twice before and got an attitude when I asked for egg whites), for absolutely no reason, one of their employees was just downright nasty with a surprisingly inexcusable and unexpected attitude. She literally attacked us when we walked up. We simply asked how long the wait would be for an outdoor table. She said 'I'm not going to rush anyone to leave' ... umm, no one had suggested that. We were in great moods and taken off guard. She dismissed us as we told her we would wait for a table to become available. We saw her from afar while waiting, speak with an attitude to everyone who approached the hostess stand. She was clearly busy and maybe she was having a bad day. I always try to empathize with this. We all have bad days, but when I kindly asked if she was the owner, she scathingly attacked me! She literally said 'I know you want to speak to the manager, I can tell by the way you're glaring at me!' ... I was not even vaguely glaring at her, nor did I ask to speak with the manager. Assumptive and rude, but after that, I definitely preferred to speak with and deal with someone KIND and hospitable while I'm trying to enjoy my hard earned vacation. My friend who knows I'm super good to others was literally shocked by this interaction, as was I. Maybe because I have green eyes she thought I was 'glaring' at her, but I wasn't nearly upset enough to do that. However, once she spewed this inaccurate accusation, THEN I was upset and though a table opened up, we chose to leave and now I will no longer be a patron of this place again. They don't deserve good people there. No one deserves to be treated this way. Truly appalling. I used to frequent this place but this is now the second time I've had an unacceptable issue with the people who work here/operate this place. Go a few feet up the road to The Egg & I, an Ogunquit staple and eternally good food (get the grilled blueberry muffin with blueberry butter over there or the banana foster French toast, also WAY better eggs Benedict's there too), Seriously don't bother with this black cloud establishment. Simply cannot believe how we were treated ... and for very average fare. Never again. read more

This quaint little cafe was the perfect spot for our first breakfast when visiting Maine on our fall foliage trip. The Crab Cake Benedict is still on my mind almost daily. So delicious and savory. The Maple French Toast was perfectly balanced with sugary sweetness and local maple syrup. Our server was so friendly and helped give us some tips on sites to see while in the area. We are coming back next fall and bringing our daughter with us. A+++ read more

Cute place, crowded so we waited a while for our breakfast. The tables on the patio are so crowded. I wore my mask, but my sisters didn't and ended up with COVID. Don't know that this is where they got it, but it just shows we still aren't out of the woods. I ordered the Lobster Benedict. This was my first taste of lobster and I was SO disappointed. It was so stringy that I had to spit it out after I chewed and chewed it!! I even asked my sisters if that was what lobster was supposed to be, I thought I was supposed to swallow the strings but didn't want to. The Hollandaise sauce was great and the hashbrowns were good. One of my sisters ordered the brie lobster omelette and her lobster was not stringy like mine. We discovered later in our trip that the meat from the legs can be stringy but the meat from the tail is chunky. I assume that the leg meat is used in their Lobster Benedict. I would dine here again but wouldn't order the lobster. Everything else looked so yummy!! My sisters ordered some drinks and they also looked good. read more

The Greenery seems to have become a victim of its own popularity. It's consistently packed, but the kitchen just can't seem to keep up. On a recent visit we waited well over 45 minutes for our lunch to arrive and we weren't the only table that was visibly frustrated. Once our food arrived it was quite tasty. I would just know if you plan to dine here do not expect to be served quickly. The servers are very friendly and pleasant but something is not working with the kitchen and I hope they can resolve this or they may start losing customers. read more

Fresh baked goods. Friends told me about the amazing muffins. Tried a blueberry and corn. They are huge in size. Good but very shareable 1/3 was more than enough of each in one sitting .. the sugared tops were the best part. Also, tried the avocado toast on toasted sourdough bread, tomato, onion, everything sprinkle and an egg, it was very good. Their iced coffee was perfect. Best one I had in town. Service was great. read more

This place was suggested to us by a shop owner when we were in her store in downtown Ogunquit. It's located outside of downtown and away from the drama. My wife and I visited on a busy Monday morning before our trip back to New Jersey. We had to wait about 10 minutes to get a table. There was seating inside and outside. It's a nice quaint and cozy breakfast spot with lots of appeal. My wife ordered the maple nut French toast and I ordered the French toast with strawberries and a side of bacon. We shared a fruit cup and ordered the 100% pure maple syrup for a small fee. My wife loved her French toast. Covered in nuts and a smattering of maple syrup. 4 big thick half slices. My French toast was thick and smothered in strawberries. The fruit cup was fresh. As coffee snobs, we would say the coffee was very good. They have homemade muffins that were huge so we bought three of them for home. One has already been devoured with positive reviews. The service was excellent and friendly. All the staff got along great with each other and loved being there. It was nice to see. Prices were very reasonable for the area. They have ample parking in their private lot. The shop owner did not steer us wrong. read more

Great service. We went during the end of the summer and were able to order food via phone to pick up. The person on the phone was super patient while we tried to pick our options despite it being packed inside. The parking lot was packed but you can pull over to the front to get your takeout.
