I can see the appeal of this place, but unfortunately, because the place was busy, the food took a hit. When I dug into my to-go order of corned beef, the potatoes were crunchy, as were the red onions, completely raw. One of my poached eggs, was underdone - both the white and yolk were so undercooked it was just a blob of runny rawness. Luckily, I can doctor it all up tomorow and cook everything again. I spent $30 and wasn't able to fully enjoy it.

I've been trying to get here for months! Finally happened today. Well worth the wait - and the drive from Lewiston.
Oh my gosh.
Cozy-boho yet with a feeling of elegance. My experience started when I walked in the door. I adore the vibe! I could sit here contentedly sipping coffee for hours.
Speaking of coffee, there are numerous options - from carafes of pre-made to specialty lattes, etc.
The menu hosts numerous options from omelettes and homemade cornbeef hash to Benedicts, burgers and more. The bakery case is filled with cannoli and other delicious treats.
We opted for crab cake Benedict and open faced turkey burger today. So delicious!!! Both came with a tri (red, white and sweet potatoes) blend hashbrown.

Love the coffee shop vibe. I'm a fussy eater so I'm not the one to ask. I had creme Brule is amazing. Had the French toast and I couldn't finish it as the bread was too thick and dry. While it looked good on the plate it was not the best. Usually when I show up the pastries are gone but I love the coffee and the atmosphere. Staff is great as well.

The food is amazing! Limited menu and not a lot of gluten-free or other diet restriction options. The space inside is also a bit small. It is beautiful and cozy but if you're a 6 foot tall guy you're going to feel squished. Outdoor seating is available but in the winter this is most likely not an option. Overall me and my 8 year old son had a great time! We will definitely go back.

Everything is GREAT, except the way the facility continues to organize its line waiting to order. Though it sounds like a trivial issue it is unnecessarily inconvenient for waiting customers and those dining. Something very simple to fix yet it still continues to operate like this. Generally there is a waiting line through the entire restaurant, past dining tables. Instead of having the waiting line form, like a normal restaurant at the front entrance, it backs up to the exit blocking tables and access to pick up food and get beverage refills. It leaves waiting customers having to move for every person getting food and refills and requires those getting food and refills to finagle their way through the entire line and back just to eat. It’s very frustrating for both parties, not to mention those that have to sit at the tables directly next to the inside line. They have to try to enjoy their meal with people standing a mere 2 feet from their plate. It’s mind boggling how simple of a fix this is yet the restaurant refuses to address this issue. Even though it seems like common sense how to fix the problem I did bring it to the attention of the facility thinking the may somehow not be aware of the negative customer experience. At one point this year it was fixed for the next 2 visits, but quickly reverted. A simple sign on the exit stating “ Line forms at front door” is all it would take. I really hope this changes someday so we can return to enjoy all other aspects. Unfortunately this was one of our favorite places but we have chosen to find other places to dine, after going there almost weekly. Having to unnecessarily deal with the un organization is no longer worth it.

This is a really great place to get breakfast and coffee. Tons of outside seating and also some tables inside. I got the Korean scramble and it was so good I went back and got the same thing two days later. Really terrific, seems like the whole town has gotten really nice in the last few years, the nearby waterfront park is good for an after breakfast stroll.

Traveling through the Northeast, this was hands-down our favorite coffee and breakfast stop. The coffee is bright and rich, and the food is delicious, fresh, and unique.
The atmosphere seems intentionally eclectic, where everything is in its place to create a warm, homely feel. There is also outdoor, shaded seating to let you watch the main street or the river.
I can't recommend this place enough, and wish we lived closer so we could come every week.

What a fantastic spot! We had the bananas foster French toast and the veggies home fries. They were both phenomenal. Great cozy vibes and excellent playlist. Loved the decor inside. Speedy, friendly service. Great coffee too. What else could you ask for? 10/10 would reccomend.

This shop is 10/10. I can't express how much I loved the atmosphere. I cooked for many years before changing fields. The chefs in the tiny corner of the kitchen are just so optimized. The line went out of the door and I received my food in no time. When receiving the food, I provided a thank you, and all of the mess, I received I appreciate your thank you. Coffee is good, service amazing, and the food, well let's just say, it doesn't disappoint. I see this spot staying for a long time!!
