The Launch - Big hearty breakfast sausage eggs wheat toast and bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Southwick, Massachusetts

This is a great restaurant. Let's not talk about the food yet; besides the food, we can talk about the beautiful scenery around the restaurant. It would be wonderful to enjoy a hot chocolate with cream with your loved one or friends in the afternoon. Now, let's talk about the food itself - it's truly delicious! Both the taste and the colors look incredibly appetizing. LOL read more

First timer, but not the last! Great set-up with a nice view of the lake with both inside and out door seating. Clean with a cool lake vibe. Service was excellent, being exceptionally polite, professional, and attentive. 5 stars Extensive menu with every listing being mouth watering. I tried a new special pistachio pudding pancakes with fresh whipped cream. The presentation with all of our dishes was picture perfect and my pancakes with powdered sugar, butter and real maple syrup has me looking forward to my next visit! read more

The Launch - Pops pistachio pudding pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Southwick, Massachusetts

"Oh, it's such a perfect day I'm glad I spent it with you" (Lou Reed) Feeling the warm sunshine as we sat on the roof deck. Hearing the smooth jazz from the sound system. Watching the boats lazily drift across the Lake Congamond marina. Experiencing stellar customer service And eating a fantastic breakfast. They all led up to a perfect start of our day with breakfast at the Launch. It felt like being on vacation in South Carolina! The Launch's hours are a bit tricky, so you should be aware they are only open from Friday to Monday from 8am to 2:30 pm. The breakfast menu is available all day with the lunch menu starting at 11 (Friday and Monday) or 12 (Weekends). The Launch has a big dining room and two outdoor sections. The rooftop patio where we sat held 7 tables to seat 26. A section of their parking lot is separated from the parked cars to hold six tables for 24 diners. Hannah, our server was great. Super friendly, knowledgeable, helpful with a memory that never failed. We asked for more coffee- bang! We asked for a "to go" box - bang! We asked for ketchup - bang! We asked for coffee cup lids- bang! We went into their menu's breakfast specials for a Pioneer Valley ($8.25) and a Robling ($10.25). The PV was two eggs with home fries, choice of meat and choice of toast. The Robling was two eggs, corned beef hash and a choice of toast. The Robling was mine, because I hadn't had me some corned beef hash in a while. It was very good, soft and tender with a lot of corned beef and a nice crust on the outside. I went for poached eggs and they were perfect. Now let's talk about their toast choices. You can go with White, Honey Wheat, Anadama, Cinnamon Swirl, Sourdough, Rye or English Muffin. Anadama was an unfamiliar choice. I used the old Google Machine to learn it was a "traditional New England yeast bread made with wheat flour, cornmeal, molasses and sometimes rye flour." Well that sure made my selection easy. It was fabulous! Two nice thick chewy slices with a hint of that good old New England molasses. Our two breakfast specials, a coffee and an iced coffee totaled a very reasonable $24.98 with a few leftovers to enjoy later. Without doubt, this was one of our best breakfast experiences in a long, long time. read more

Great find. Stopped here today with my monthly breakfast group. And we invited Fr Matt from Our Lady of the Lake RC church up the road. We opted to sit outside as it was a beautiful morning, w a nice view of the lake. Our server, Ani, was excellent. She (as well as the owner, Jessica) checked on us regularly and was very efficient and just seemed to do everything effortlessly. I had the Congamonster Breakfast, but had the home-made hash as one of my meats, for an extra $2. Well worth it. Came w 3 eggs, HFs, another meat (opted for sausage patty) and toast. The rye toast was thicker than most and was excellent. Plenty of really interesting menu choices. Prices are reasonable. Coffee is excellent and bottomless. All of us had clean plates, and left satisfied. Be careful, only open 3 or 4 days for breakfast and lunch. And happy to see that they did a brisk business today. Word gets around. Definitely give this place a try. read more

Amazing location right on the lake. Homemade bread and other pastries. This is a definite must go to a place. The staff was very attentive to take care of us on a very quick manner. This place does recommend reservations and it's very busy on the weekend. If you go on the weekend without a reservation, you should expect a 45 min to 1 hour wait! We waited - and it was worth it read more

Great brunch spot! They have all kinds of drinks including alcoholic ones. I ordered the London fog Chai with almond milk. It was delicious! I also got the veggie frittata which was also yummy. I held my book club there and they were able to accommodate for 12 people. Our server was very attentive and patient with us as well. This restaurant overlooks the water too. Sadly it was raining today so we had to eat indoors but we still had the awesome view since there was a big window. I would definitely come back again! read more

Love sitting out on the deck of this very welcoming breakfast/lunch spot as it overlooks the lake. Dogs welcome on the deck too; a nice bonus. Easily among the best clam chowders I've ever head and the rest of the food is very good too as is the service. read more

Excellent place for breakfast or brunch. Food, service, ambiance and location overlooking Lake Congamond were very good.

Food was cold, bread barely had butter, soda was flat, French toast tasted like bread so definitely needs to be dipped in eggs more. Otherwise it's a cute place read more

A solid four star breakfast for our anniversary. I got the Irish Benedict, my husband the conga-monster. We sat on the water and the view was beautiful, can't say anything for the interior of the restaurant as we were not seated there. We started with bloody Mary's, obviously which were good, but I've had better. I absolutely hate the paper straw but that's a personal preference. Our server was polite and attentive, but the service itself was incredibly slow, about 30 minutes before we got food. I will say, my breakfast was divine. Potatoes cooked and seasoned well, corned beef hash had a fantastic sear on it and I felt my poached eggs were cooked beautifully. Hollandaise was good, and appeared to not be made entirely from a box. Hubby was very satisfied with his breakfast as well. Prices were reasonable for what we got. I would love to come back in the fall to see the leaves and sit outdoors. read more

Delicious, fresh food every time! Their meals are creative, beautifully presented and well thought out. The staff is always upbeat and positive, the ownership is top notch and highly qualified. Jess is the face of this business and she always has a smile to offer! We order take out a lot as we are not always able to sit in and its just as delicious and with attention to detail and presentation as it would be if you went there eating it in their open and bright dining room overlooking the lake. If yo don't go, you are missing out on a hidden gem! read more

Great meals and equally great service!! A bit of a wait on the July 4th holiday weekend but well worth it! read more

My wife and I go every Saturday, and I go with my dad every Sunday after church. Jess and Marc and everyone there treat us like family. The wait staff is incredible; we are friends more than customers to all and the feeling is mutual. There are a number of regulars, but they do a great job with every part of the business, and we hope to be a part of The Launch family for a long time to come! read more

Visiting from New Orleans & picked The Launch because it was the highest rated & most affordable. (single mom on a teacher's salary). My daughter got the Belgium Waffle & a side of bacon (crispy). I got the Original Benedict. My daughter (11) said her waffle was "good" & the bacon was the best part even though it wasn't crispy. She thought she ordered the waffle with fruit & whipped topping, but they sent out strawberries & whipped cream when we asked. The strawberries were SO sweet (surprising since strawberries aren't in season & the whipped topping (from a can) was incredible. I didn't take note of the brand. Shucks! My Benedict was not mind blowing, but it was good. The eggs were PERFECTLY poached. The Canadian bacon & English muffin were up to par. The side of "home fries" were ok. Neither the home fries nor the hollandaise sauce were very flavorful, but I may have different expectations being that I was born & raised with that Cajun spice. A bit of salt & pepper made it better. I will say they were generous with the hollandaise sauce, which I LOVE, & it was creamy. The waitstaff was nice enough. She was attentive and kept my coffee & creamer filled. All in all, I WILL be returning, hopefully before we head back to New Orleans. read more

Great staff and service. I had the mushroom frittata which was just the right size and very good. I liked the fact it was not overly salted as so many restaurant breakfast dishes are in restaurants. . The coffee was superb, great depth of flavor without being bitter . Really good . read more

Really enjoyed our breakfast here. Staff was very friendly and the food was great. Also a nice view of the lake.

Good food and a relaxing view of the marina. I called ahead to make a patio reservation for breakfast. We arrived early and they sat us right away. The breakfast menu is extensive and everything we ordered was delicious. The staff was fantastic and super friendly, especially since we had small children in our party. My only complaint is that the coffee is awful tasting and they don't offer real cream, just the non-dairy plain creamer. Aside from the coffee, everything else was tasty and well cooked. We will most definitely be back and I will certainly be recommending this restaurant to others. read more

Zoom Mother's Day Breakfast. Where should I start - how about..."Amazing". Jess your help this week to make my Mother In-Law's Mother Day very special was simply outstanding. She absolutely loved each course: Vegetable and Cheese Quiche, Creps with Strawberries, Mixed Fresh Fruit, Yogurt and Bacon. Of course, she could not eat it all but she did exactly what we hoped and that was to have some left-over for the next day and allowing her to extend this Mother's Day a bit longer. Ya know, we could truly see how much she enjoyed her breakfast feast. I'll end with this....."you quickly responded to my email request for help and handled it with such grace, warmth and support". Your help to make our Zoom Mother's Day Breakfast just wonderful. High-5 (virtually) and a gigantic Thank You. Regards, Mike & Chris (N. Virginia) read more

Awesome breakfast dishes and great atmosphere. If you are alone or in a party of ten they can serve you. Call for reservation on the weekends read more

The Launch - Rad Dad Scramble - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Southwick, Massachusetts

My wife and I tried the restaurant for the first time, and It was fantastic! The restaurant was clean, the staff was polite, but the food was the star. I ordered the Southwest Benedict, and my wife ordered the Fireside Benedict. We also split a lemon crumble muffin. We were very pleased and will be back soon! read more

This is a breakfast and lunch place, in a location that has hosted a few prior restaurants of varying success. We first "gave it a try" because they had an outdoor terrace with a nice view of Lake Congamond. They had all the "basic" breakfast items, and hit the marks for good quality: bacon & sausage was the "good stuff". I started noticing the toasts were of consistently outstanding quality: my wife became a fan of the raisin toast and I like the sourdough. Coffee was always hot and fresh and the wait staff never let a cup go empty. Eventually we started ordered a few of the "fancy" specials. Always seasonal, creative, often with fresh local ingredients and delicious! The specials might be a little bit of a stretch on the budget for some families, but we consistently found them to be of a quality far beyond a typical "greasy spoon" breakfast place. Now we look forward to each weekend to see what new special The Launch has come up with. The first time or two I visited for lunch, I thought it was a little slow, had a limited menu and maybe a bit expensive. Then I realized why: Great food, made from scratch. It's not SUBWAY. If I'm in a hurry to get back to work, this isn't the place to go... but if I have a little time to linger, enjoy the view, and get a great lunch, this is the place. Last fall I had a mushroom soup that I still remember as an all time great. COVID-19 closed this place down for a while, and as I write this they are doing takeout and outdoor dining, with some limited hours. They are very careful about protocol. I only have done takeout so since the pandemic started, but The Launch is one of the few places I feel comfortable about all the steps they've taken. read more

So good! The view was amazing. I went with my boyfriend for breakfast service was amazing the food was great! Extremely inexpensive the waiter was so nice!!! I can't wait to come back again! read more

Great food, reasonable price, and warm service. It is nice to have a great breakfast/brunch spot in the area.

Stopped in for a late Sunday breakfast and had an amazing meal! My wife had a Watermelon Mimosa and a Sun Salutation Omelette with sourdough bread and I had a build your own omelette with spinach, mushrooms and caramelized onions, and cinnamon swirl bread. Everything was amazing - especially the restaurant-made bread which was OUTSTANDING!! While this was my first time at The Launch, it will certainly not be my last. I highly recommend stopping by and enjoying a meal on their deck overlooking the lake! read more

Fantastic service and a great menu that has all the basics but goes beyond with more creative options and excellent specials (lobster Benedict was so good). It was pouring so we didn't go outside, but the pleasant, patient staff made up for it. Great with our indecisive kids. Our family had a lovely time and will be back! read more

Labor Day outdoor dining on deck ruined by managements permitting of contractor to repave the parking lot. Excavators, spreaders, steam rollers etc. created so much noise, vibration, and dust that it was impossible to even consider eating here. As an added bonus, the most uncomfortable seats ever. Will not be back. read more

First time there with a friend of mine. We do several different restaurants within the area. This one was recommended by one of his relatives. I was very impressed with being welcomed. The menu was quite extensive. Quite different from what I'm used to at any breakfast establishment. The waitress was very nice. Kudos to the Chefs. I will return again. I just wish they would open a little earlier than 8 o'clock because I'm an early riser only reason other than that I was very satisfied. read more

Great food and service. I had the cinnamon French toast...it as the best French toast I ever had. I also got a loaf of cinnamon swirl beard to go. The patio dinning had a wonderful view. We will be back! read more
