“My girlfriends and I stopped into this little diner on a whim, and I’m so glad we did! The food was absolutely delicious (classic comfort food done right!) Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and our meals came out surprisingly fast. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier!! They treated us like regulars from the moment we walked in. You can really feel the heart and pride they put into their place. Definitely one of those hidden gems that makes you wish every restaurant still had this kind of charm and hospitality. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“We recently hired Googans to cater for a celebration of life. We kept it simple with a cheese and veggie platter, sandwiches and sweets- finger food. Everything was absolutely delicious! People were raving about how good the sandwiches and desserts were. I absolutely recommend for catering and also to stop in their shop for breakfast and/or lunch. We were very happy with our whole experience with Googan’s.“

“Biked through town from Boston with a crew of 6 on a Saturday morning. This was the only place open before 11 am and I’m so glad it was. Place was packed but service was quick. Got a banana recovery smoothy with an espresso shot added and it was sooo good. They also have gluten free bread and took my allergy very seriously! Will be visiting again!
The lady behind the counter was so sweet and a delight to talk too.“

“I highly recommend this amazing place to anyone who loves homemade delicious food and amazing down to earth people! My family and I found this place last year on our way home from our vacation in Rockport and we have not stopped thinking about it since! We finally were able to come back this year and it is just as good (if not better) then I remembered it being. The homemade blueberry muffins are a must but you really can’t go wrong with anything on there menu! The outdoor sitting has the perfect amount of shade and we love watching all the cars go by while eating our food. I can’t wait for our next vacation to Rockport so we can go here again!“

“Blacksmith Shop was our go to for Hot Teas, delicious pastries and melt in your mouth cookies!! We stayed next door for the past week and every morning it never failed we were greeted with a smile and great conversation! By the end of the week it was hard to say good by because we felt like family! I highly recommend stopping in and supporting this local gem in Rockport!“

“Delicious breakfast and friendly staff!“
