there weren't as many vegan items on the menu as i was expecting but i did see vegan pancakes and a vegan scramble. i got the classic breakfast veganized and it was decent- the vegan sausage is just a beyond patty cut in half.
I love this place for its solid vegan options, knowledgeable staff, and generally convivial atmosphere. It is definitely worth a stop.
Has a handful of solid options ranging from (mostly) breakfast items to a lunch item. I got the tofu scramble w sourdough toast and the vegan pancake. Their specialty cinnamon toast iced coffee was also vegan once the whipped cream was omitted. Very good food and service. A little pricey but when in Maine.
I got their tofu scramble breakfast bowl. It was okay, but $22 was more than I expected to pay for what I got. It’s inside Hampton Inn, so maybe it’s the restaurant for the hotel, so it’s pricey.
Chicken sandwich was underwhelming and lacking flavor that a chicken sandwich like that should have, the home fries were HARD. I wish I would have stuck with the waffle fries, really wasnt impressed by those basically raw potatoes. Corned beef hash was adequate and made with real corned beef.The sausage was good and the tater kegs were decent but the tater kegs in the photos show that they come with 6 and are topped with bacon and green onions and I got 4 that were just sitting in cheese sauce. Overall not impressed and definitely will not give this place my visit again.
Good food but pancakes were a little dry

Everything was very good, the house made corned beef hash was a stand out. Service was great and prices were reasonable.

We were going for dogsledding and stopped by for brunch. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was nice, clean and friendly, just like the name. The service was excellent, and our server was very kind. Overall, I was very pleased with the experience.

Ordered Uber Eats at 1:24. They waited until 2pm to cancel my order with zero explanation from the restaurant or Uber Eats. Restaurant is still open but says closed on Uber Eats now.

Friendly toast is always a reliable option in New England. I usually get the vegan breakfast burrito, and it is vegan and gluten free. The burrito is often filling enough that I’m not hungry again until dinner. The eclectic decor is fun.
I wanted to share my experience from my recent visit, as it was disappointing and not up to the standards I’ve come to expect. Unfortunately, the service from one of your staff members, Jessica. W, was unprofessional and made my visit unpleasant. She seemed disinterested and unapproachable, which detracted from the overall dining experience. While I usually enjoy eating at your restaurant, this encounter left a negative impression while walking around with her belly hanging and a stink face. I hope you will address this matter to ensure future experiences for your guests meet your usual high standards.

Excellent brunch spot. The wait time can be long so I do suggest being added to their wait-list as our table was ready within 20 minutes.
The cheesy tots are a must have! The mixture of textures with the sharp cheese on the inside was nice.
The chicken and waffles were excellent! More of a schnitzel style fried cutlet rather than a southern or Korea style but it pairs well with the waffles since a thicker breading in the fried chicken would probably be too heavy.
The Cordon Bleu Benny was good and the egg was cooked to perfectly.
All in all, I'd definitely return as the service was speedy and all of the dishes were exactly as described without any unnecessary fussiness.

Good breakfast, a little different from the regular breakfast, but with a great variety of choices for all tastes.

Went on a Sunday. Food took 50 minutes to come out. It was lukewarm. It was still good though. I did think that the portions weren’t as big as they used to be though. Maybe it’s changed. Not a bad experience but not great either. Probably better to go on a weekday.
