Blue Canoe is a great spot to check out, I would highly recommend it to anyone. I've gone here a number of times and it's always a great experience. They make great coffee and always have homemade pastries and other breakfast food.

Cute little cafe, nice atmosphere. Got a blueberry muffin, which was very good, and a large, extremely hot Earl grey tea. Sat for a couple hours with a friend and chatted and didn't feel rushed out at all.

Love ❤️ this place for quick service and fresh food. This place needs a matcha latte machine tho. You should get on that. I highly recommend. Shane

Super cute little cafe. There are many items on the menu. The ornamented theme of this place creates such a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Great service, great food!

I got a hot chocolate and a mini gingerbread. Can’t go wrong with hot chocolate but the mini gingerbread was so cute! A tiny treat for the morning, perfect!

Came here for coffee and a breakfast sandwich as I wanted to support a local business, but neither were good. The cappuccino tasted burnt and the milk wasn't frothed properly, which means it tasted just like a regular coffee with milk. The breakfast sandwich was also very mediocre. The sandwich cost around $6, and the cappuccino another $6. I will not be returning here.

My two favorite foods sound boring to some, but I can't help it -- I'm a savory food kind of person. I love nachos and I love BLTs, and it's amazing how many places have managed to not do these two things well. I have never been able to find a place that can make a good BLT, until now!I needed a quick lunch today and went here on a whim because it was close by. I saw they were closing soon, but there were people inside so I headed in. Sometimes small, local coffee shops can feel drafty or unkempt or just lifeless. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I'd want to sit there for hours. The temperature was just right, and the ambiance felt friendly and warm.I acknowledged that they were closing soon and asked if I could still order a sandwich. They replied in a way that felt welcoming, and not like I was imposing on them (which some places, 15 minutes prior to closing, would have). I ordered the BLT and used the restroom while I waited. Even the restroom was pleasant!I sat in one of the two window bays on a comfortable stool (again, perfect! sometimes they're way too high for a 4'10" to get up on, or off), with a complimentary cup of water (I love when cafes have serve yourself water). One of the servers brought my sandwich over and even on first glance I could tell it was going to be good. No wilted lettuce, no weird bread, perfect amount of mayo and bacon. It was the best BLT I've had at a restaurant, even better than I make at home.So, 5 stars for great ambiance, friendly, unrushed service, and a great BLT! I have no doubt that their other food is just as good.

Marblehead is full of the most wonderful diners and coffee shops! The Blue Canoe Cafe is a must, however. The decor is fitting for a coastal town that is very proud of their maritime history. The staff are very pleasant and polite. The food and coffee were wonderful- particularly their yogurt bowls, absolutely to die for!

I'm ashamed that I've lived in marblehead a few years now and never tried this place. I highly recommend a simple coffee or latte so you can taste how simply delicious it is. It's also kid friendly (etch-a-sketches a great way to keep them sitting) and my son found a favorite gluten free option in the breakfast sandwich wrap.

The breakfast wrap special is amazing! Should be a permanent menu item.
