If the employee needed a break or to eat she should have sat down at one of the empty tables to do so instead of being allowed to eat in the back near everyone's food while the rest of the employees just watched and said nothing. We were so grossed out we couldn't even finish our meal.

So firstly I would recommend showing up early or to expect a wait especially on weekends. Also related to this their space is quite small it can be a little chaotic with finding a spot to sit. Despite the small space they have made sure it is very beautifully designed and amazing vibes overall. Makes sense why it is so popular honestly. We snagged some of their outdoor seats and enjoyed the nice weather with our breakfast. They have a good mix of sweet and savory and talking to some others in line they said you honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. They have a great amount of coffee drink options too and when you order a large they are not lying, it is huge. I finished mine during breakfast but my wife and mother got theirs in a to-go cup before we left and looked like a normal sized large still. Food wise I felt like I had to try their Blueberry French Toast and it did not disappoint, great take on the dish. Only real complaint I could say is I would prefer a little thinner slice of bread so it can soak a little better but no real complaints. My wife got the Librarian Omelette (minus mushrooms) and it was large and jam full, they did not skimp on ingredients. Her only real complaint was some bacon was thicker than she prefers but again minimal. If you are looking for a spot to grab some delicious breakfast and/or coffee in central Maine this should be near the top of your list. From the overall vibes to quality of drinks and food you will likely have a difficult finding a better spot.

We were visitng in the area and was so glad to see it and just had to go. We did not have reservations but the restaurant was able to accomodate us immediately even though the place was quite full. We chose the homemade hummus with feta and olives to start off. Fresh, delicous and a perfect start. For entrees we had the fresh baked haddock wrapped around a filling of crabmeat with roasted carrots and grilled zuccini. The fish was succulent and oh so melt in your mouth deliciousness. The sides were fantastic. The grilled flat iron steak was just a tad over the requested medium rare, but was tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes and roasted carrots were the perfect accompaniments. All portions were generous. There was live music, subtle and soft, and it added to the enjoyment of our meal. Love the decor and the service was friendly and efficent. Parking can be a challenge but we found a spot across the street quite easily. We highly recommed and will return. Best to make a reservation in advance.

Located on the edge of downtown, Lately's is serving up NY style pizza, breakfast all day (and night on the weekends), along with select signature sandwiches. The NY style pizza has the perfect char, does not droop, and the toppings do not slide off. Perfectly balanced with cheese to sauce to dough, I cannot get enough - especially when slices are huge and just $2.99! I have only had their pizza but the staff and atmosphere are warm, sunny, and super friendly. Their shop is easily accessed from Water Street where there is tons of free parking and is steps away from Granite City Park (you know - the place with the chairs). Lately's takes card and cash, and also offers Coke products, self serve coffee, and a selection of cold adult beverages! There is plenty of inside seating, but, in my opinion, the red table outside in the sun on the sidewalk is where I like to chill. NY style pizza is alive and well at Lately's in Hallowell.

Once I got there, I realized this was a small and cozy addition to the excellent Slates restaurant, which I had been to before. This very small, in fact tiny bakery is filled with fresh breads, including bagels and lots of excellent looking baked goods. I started with a loaf of Anadama bread and an onion bagel and then looked into a glass cooler and noticed slices of pumpkin cream cheese roll and then noticed that they were selling the end slice, which looked funky but was completely delicious for $1.50! After a brief conversation with the helpful and informative woman behind the counter, I learned that SB often offers end cuts and pieces of their baked goods for $1.50. How awesome is that!!!
