The Sunrise Shack is hands down our favorite breakfast spot in the North Country. We've been to a…read morefew other good places in the Valley area, but this is the one we always find ourselves coming back to. The place is very small and because of that you have to check in at a small window before going inside. It can get very busy and always go mid week for that reason. What the Sunrise Shack lacks in size it more than makes up for with its personality and, of course, its yummy food. It's small yet cozy and homey. The staff is always welcoming and cheerful. And perhaps most importantly, the breakfast always hits the spot. During our most recent visit my boyfriend got blueberry pancakes and I got biscuits and gravy, which I had once before and had a hankering for it again. It was just as hearty and delicious as I remembered it from the last time. The blueberry pancakes were very yummy too. As a side note, if you ask for hot sauce with your meal they have a variety bucket for the table, which is a nice little bonus for hot sauce fiends such as myself. Whether you want your breakfast to be healthy or hearty, or whether you're filling up before going on a rigorous hike or going shopping in the North Conway town center, you simply can't go wrong with The Sunrise Shack.

I've wanted to try out their breakfast for a long time and now I finally did. Going for brunch on a Friday was a great idea even for a summer weekend. We got there a little after 11am and we were famished. My husband ordered their vegetable omelette with a side of bacon. I chose the Jim's Heartburner omelette which had chorizo, tomatoes, red onions and banana peppers in it. Both were delicious but I wish the omelettes were fluffier instead of being overdone. Home fries were decent. Service is friendly and excellent. Prices were just right. There's plenty of parking which is appreciated. Coffee was better than most breakfast places which is certainly something I notice.

The inside is cute, with standard tables and chairs, with some more comfortable cushioned chairs. They had a corner with kids books, that my son absolutely loved and kept having us read to him. The staff were all very friendly, even though they were clearly busy. We went early, around 8/8:30 and had a short line. We drove past them later at 9:30ish and line was out the door. Go early!

A year or so later, I have found myself here in Lincoln and decided to give it a try. I didn't have high hopes. Reality rarely lives up to the expectations created by social media, but I decided to give it a shot. And thank God I did. There's a lot to unpack here. First- the latte flight. Amazing. Beautiful presentation, excellently balanced flavors, and just enough novelty to be memorable without being kitschy (how many latte flights have you come across?) My only suggestion is to split with a friend, unless you're used to a lot of milk and caffeine. I had a hard time finishing them all and four shots is a lot for me- I'm about to buzz right out of my seat! Second- the service. I sat here for a while and watched the staff. They couldn't have been better. I was welcomed when I approached, as was every other person who came in during the time I was there, even down to the vendors, and even when customers came in large waves that could have easily overwhelmed them. They were personable, friendly, and genuinely seemed to take pride in offering a good product. Which leads me to my third observation... While I was here, a gentleman came in who I now believe to have been the owner. If so, sir- I'd like to commend you on your management style. I watched how you spoke to the staff and while it was only a few moments, you showed respect, thoughtfulness, and kindness. My first job was in food service nearly 30 years ago and to this day, I still remember my manager. He led with those same qualities. Overall, great product. I live a couple hours away, and would make a point of stopping here on a day trip. Thanks for a lovely start to my morning!

I tend to never finish my drinks (oops) but this one I finished! The shop itself is very small so you can expect to be buddy buddy with the people behind you in line. But it moves super fast and the baristas are very kind and welcoming. Sadly we don't live nearby, otherwise, this would be my go to stop in the morning!

On top of that, the people who work here are so kind. It feels like the sort of place where everyone is happy to see you walk in. If you're passing through, or in town for an event like we were, this bakery is absolutely worth a stop.

What an adorable cafe!…read more We stopped in before we headed home to have coffee and breakfast. We arrived at a quiet point in the morning rush, but they do get very busy! Service is friendly and fast though even when they're packed. I had a turmeric maple latte which was unique and delicious. Along with that I had the Mountain Mama sandwich which had an egg, hummus, goat cheese, and vegetables on a super soft English muffin. It was delicious! My husband had a hummus bagel with cucumbers and tomato and it was a great light start to the day. We also tried a ham and cheese croissant which was good. It was the softer bread style croissant and had chopped rosemary ham and cheese which was delicious, I only wished there was more of it! I brought a maple molasses cookie and a butterscotch cookie home. They were both so delicious and chewy! My only criticism is I wish there was a touch more salt, but I'm nitpicking. Highly recommend stopping in for a light breakfast or lunch, and taking some baked goods for the trail!

The buttermilk biscuit sandwiches were also delicious - soft and buttery, you would never know they are gluten free. The kimchi was a unique add-on option, the pop of acid cuts through the richness of the biscuit. Definitely check out their pastry display case, too! It changes a bit day to day so we were able to try out quite a few different offerings across our two visits. There are only a few seats at the counter inside, but there are some picnic benches outside for you to enjoy your goods. Worth the small venture outside of downtown!
