Great spot for a decent breakfast! It's been quite a while since I've been here and it's exactly how I remembered. The interior is quaint, and I really liked the pictures of what the building used to be. It's cool when a place keeps the building's history in some way!
Service was great and very sociable with their regulars.
I had the egg and cheese on multi grain and it was VERY DELICIOUS. I'm not a huge breakfast sandwich person but I WILL be getting this again!
Parking: There is parking at the "back" of the building off the main road there.

My mom and I dined here during our last day of vacation. The food was yummy, and it was a nice atmosphere. Parking was easy to find. I appreciated the food selection and the healthy options. Great service.
Dietary restrictions: They offer healthy alternatives.

The food was very disappointing. The menu should be pretty straightforward to execute but everything was bland and overcooked. Do not recommend.

This is our new breakfast place! Everything was delicious! The eggs Benedict was perfect and they have several different variations. The breakfast bowls goy a thumbs up too. The staff was very friendly and service was great!

Service is great, as is the restaurant atmosphere. But they tend to forget ingredients in the orders I've put through, such as today's bacon burger served without the bacon, or salads with tomatoes after being asked to hold them. I'd recommend them, but definitely check your food before leaving if you're getting takeout.

It’s a cute little place for breakfast or lunch but the pancakes weren’t anything to rave about. The kicker is I had a cup of tea and asked for another cup and I was told it would be about 3.10 for another tea bag!!! They don’t have bottomless coffee or tea and their cups are small. If I didn’t want to pay another 3.10 I could reuse my tea bag.
Great place for breakfast or lunch. We were all able to order just what we wanted (Fenway omelet, burger, Riverside salad) and sat and talked for quite a long time. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere in this bright and cheery renovated boiler house. Save time for a walk along the river. Plenty of free parking available!

Look at that plate. Perfectly poached eggs over literally my new favorite homemade corned beef hash with a side of baked beans. So yeah, the food is amazing, the staff is very friendly and quick to serve. Very cozy atmosphere with views of the Merrimack River. So, yeah, this spot is the place to go. I'll be coming back for lunch/dinner.

Great place. Great staff. Fantastic food. Very reasonable prices. A bit too quiet however. This place could really use some music. It is sooo quiet in there you feel you need to whisper to carry on a conversation. This place really needs some background music to take that uncomfortable edge off. Food, service and location get 5 stars. Atmosphere, only 2 that could be changed to a 5 with a little jazz or yacht rock in the background.

My husband and I were pleasantly greeted by Angie who was attentive and sweet. We ordered the corned beef hash Benedict. The hollandaise was light and airy and the corned beef was crisp and well seasoned. Leaving us to believe they were homemade. It’s been a long time since we’ve been this happy with our server. Angie clearly takes pride in her job wonderful customer service with a beautiful smile.

Ordered pickup this morning. Prices were 25% higher than shown on their online menu. They gave my son white toast instead of wheat, I asked for bacon in my omelette as a substitute for the ham, and they still put ham in my omelette, and the home fries were mushy and flavorless. It also seemed ridiculous that it was $1.25 upcharge for an English muffin, which was hard yet soggy. Worst of all they use super processed American cheese, the kind that doesn’t melt when you heat it. The place was cramped walking in the door and the staff wasn’t exactly welcoming. I don’t think we will return.
