This place was such a welcome surprise and what they are doing here is truly special. The moment we walked in, the warmth of the service was enough to brighten anyone’s morning. The food? Absolutely fantastic. We both had the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Eggs were cooked to perfection(one scrambled and one over hard), and the homemade English muffin was a 10/10. The hash browns, spot on.

The true highlight, though, was our server Marisol. She was kind, bubbly, and so attentive. To top off an already great breakfast, she showed us some handmade crafts she was proud of, and we left with a seashell and bracelet that will always remind us of the experience.

All in all, this was more than just a meal and a view, it was a moment of joy. 100% recommend stopping by. You’ll leave with a full belly and a full heart. ❤️

*please let Marisol who she made our day!

We absolutely love Puffins! My husband and I accidentally stumbled upon this gem in 2019 when we got haf just gotten engaged and we just came back in 2025 with our 2 year old. Their mission is great, the view is amazing and the atmosphere is so welcoming and cozy.

First time visit. Totally awesome food. Quiche was phenomenal! Cranberry-Walnut bread (toasted and buttered) terrific. Staff was very friendly, accommodating. They sell mini baked pies, breads and other baked goods on the premises. The restaurant setting with views on the river was perfect. In warm weather, there is a covered deck to enjoy the river view even better. It's open today with Mother's Day specials. I'll be back again soon even though for me it's a 40-minute drive.

Absolutely loved walking into such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Lonnie graciously greeted each of us. Puffins in located by the water. The views are beautiful. Loved the indoor decor. We enjoyed our meals. We enjoyed the Lasagna which was DELICIOUS! Also enjoyed the tuna wrap. Was incredibly please to see how well the team worked with the adults with different challenges. That's what it's all about. TEAMWORK! Very impressed with all you do! Stephen was a wonderful waiter! I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our day. We hope to find more resturants that hire adults with IDD.
