Love the lobster omelet!! The fresh biscuits are just amazing. So are the potatoes. My kids enjoyed the blueberry pancakes. Service was prompt and friendly. The restaurant is super cute with great outdoor seating. read more

Revisited 2 Cats after having a great experience there last year but we were really disappointed with the speed and quality of service this year. It was early in the season so I'm sure the staff were getting adjusted but we waited very long to get drinks, get refills, place our order, and eventually receive our food. Tables around us were also experiencing very slow service, their food arriving before drinks, etc. We started to notice that people around us who arrived after we did were finishing their meals before we received our food and after finding our server and checking in, they let us know they forgot to put in our order. Slow service on busy weekends and getting adjusted as staff members happens and we definitely could've overlooked it but the staff did not apologize and none of the items were removed from our bill after waiting over an hour for the food to arrive. When it did arrive, the items were cold and we were eager to finish so we could start our day of hiking. Our past experience at 2 Cats was really great, but my partner was very disappointed with this visit and is not interested in returning. read more

Stopped for a quick breakfast before heading out of town, very quick service and nice blueberry pancakes! The eggs Benny was deeply over cooked, but my pancakes were enough to share. Cute and colorful decor! read more

This place is a must! We had the farmers plate, and the Ho Hum with a side of blueberry pancakes. My favorite bite was the potatoes, they were so flavorful!!! read more

I will be taking the 6 hour drive to return to this spot if it is not simply for the biscuit and strawberry butter that came with my breakfast. It's obvious 2 Cats use fresh and whole ingredients. The service was fast and our waitress was very nice and attentive. I love the homey feel as we enjoyed our breakfast. read more

I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was in Bar Harbor, and 2 Cats is an outstanding breakfast option. The lobster Benedict and the blueberry pancakes were outstanding, and the orange juice was so fresh, it was like I was drinking the juice straight from the orange. Thanks again to the cooking and weight stuff for such an extraordinary breakfast before hiking Acadia national Park. read more

Came here for breakfast. It was our first breakfast place. It has no cats for people who are wondering. Apparently they used to have cats but not anymore. I wish they would have some. Service was decent but not amazing. Place is very tiny and tables are crammed together. It was uncomfortable to seat because of how small space there is. We all ordered different coffee and all of them were below average. Food wasn't great either. Salmon Benedict was very average. We never came back there because no one in our group liked the food or coffee. read more

We were really excited to try this place as it has good reviews on Yelp and is super cute, but were ultimately a bit disappointed. Service and Staff: - The staff was nice and they are accommodating with us initially sitting outside and then switching to inside Food and Drinks: - Chai latte: this was good - the cinnamon on top was a nice touch - Traditional Benedict: my friend asked for sausage instead of bacon on her Benedict. She wasn't clear what kind of sausage, but we wish the server said what kind of sausage they had. My friend was expecting a sausage patty, not sausages cut in half - Special Benedict: this was pretty disappointing. There was very little salmon, the egg was overcooked, and the biscuit was very dry. We asked for new eggs that were poached (as eggs should be with Benedict). I received new eggs in a bowl without any of the seasoning. It would have been okay if there was enough hollandaise sauce to add to these, but the sauce was also very limited - Blueberry Pancakes: these were good and filling Miscellaneous: - Street parking available - Indoor and outdoor seating available - Two gender neutral bathrooms read more

Very solid breakfast. Great corned beef hash and blueberry pancakes. Biscuits were a little dense for my taste but overall great spot

To start, as a cat lady myself I love the atmosphere here. All the cat decor and the paw print tables, plus everything being so colorful makes it wonderful to sit here. The juice is fresh and comes in a chilled glass. Perfect fluffy pancakes and I got the freshest banana I have ever had on the side. Peak ripeness. The French toast was made with a baguette which was interesting but it was very good! Typical French toast taste and soft. The corned beef hash was one of the best ones my friend has ever had, and she got poached eggs which were done perfectly with the tight whites and runny center. She described the meal as "Devine". read more

Corned beef hash was the best I've ever eaten. Hands down. Don't miss this place! Pricey, but worth every penny. Quaint location, in downtown Bar Harbor, but on the outskirts of it. Easy to get to, with plentiful (pay) parking around it. The four of us agree that of our 12 days on the road thus far, this was the best meal we've eaten. No one in our party was even mildly disappointed. Service was fine, very polite and friendly. read more

Double Espresso was tepid. Nice waitress microwaved it then it was scalding hot! Strange !

I'd heard so many wonderful things about this place, but I felt like it was just okay. It certainly fueled me up for a full day of hiking but I felt it was incredibly average. The cafe mocha was way too sweet. I got the ho hum as my breakfast and it was nice and filling. The eggs were fine, the potatoes were a bit too raw for me, and I wasn't a big fan of the biggest and strawberry butter which was what I was most excited about. I felt like the biscuit was super dry and the strawberry butter seemed to be just regular butter. It is a super cute place though. I love their logo and the cats on all their mugs! read more

Quick, friendly service and decent food. The pancakes were definitely the hit of breakfast. The apple omelet was pretty good as well.

I love that the food is local and seems fresh. We got the farmers scramble and the summer scramble. The spicy sausage was good and the eggs were yummy. The potatoes didn't taste like they had spice on them. The strawberry butter was good, I think it's whipped. But the biscuit was dry and definitely needed the butter. read more

2 Cats is a good stop if you're headed out early because they open at 6:30AM. It's a quick and easy stop if you're looking for something to fill you up, but it's nothing special. It's very much a classic, straightforward diner experience. Our server was nice and the inside was cozy, mismatched chairs and quirky artwork all over the place. I ordered a hot chai latte, which was from a packet (I know this because there was a mound of powder sitting at the bottom of my cup). For my actual meal, I just ordered two over-easy eggs with spicy homefries and they were solid! Not much to say as I got something basic and I got what I needed. Homefries weren't spicy, but they have a good house hot sauce. read more

I've stumbled onto 2 Cats 12 years ago and thought to myself "Wow! Such great food and fun atmosphere. I was hoping to experience the same thing today. First, positive. The decor is fun, whimsical, and just eye catching. It really feels like you're sitting in a fairytale storybook. The menu has a lot of options, and you don't have to be a lobster lover to enjoy what they have to offer. The bad. We had to get up to speak to the waitress when everyone else who came after us got their food. Not once did she come to check on us. After I confronted her, two of the three dishes miraculously came five seconds later. We checked the food and it was cool to the touch which is very disappointing. This means the food had been sitting at the counter for quite some time. Then she came over to see if the food came with a very sarcastic smile. We asked her about the last dish and she says with a very snarky tone " the food will come out when the food comes out". The last dish did come out and it was hot which proves that they forgot about the last dish and that our other two dishes were just sitting there, waiting. After we got our food, we never saw her again. She never came to ask if you wanted to refill our hot water or coffee. But when we finished our breakfast, she magically popped up with a credit card machine. She automatically included 18% gratuity, which is bonkers. Honestly, I would not have tipped her for the poor service we experienced. And she had the gall to point to another part of the credit card screen, saying "in case you want to tip more". The audacity. The salmon eggs benedict and the lobster benedict was mediocre at best. It might've been better if we received our food hot or if we weren't in such annoyance with the horrendous service. When I revisit Bar Harbor, two cats will no longer be on my top tier to visit. I hope the owners read this because who knows how many of these incidents slipped through the crack. read more

My friend had come here a few years ago and was very excited to return! We came in on a Saturday morning and it was not very busy at all. We were able to be seated out on the patio right away! If you're averse to birds I recommend sitting inside as there are lots flying around all the flowers and tables. I ordered the farmer's breakfast and a side pancake for a little bit of everything! The scrambled eggs were nicely cooked and the sausage was very andouille-like with a bit of kick. The homefries were delicious as well! The biscuit was so good too - the strawberry butter was so unique! The pancake was nicely cooked and had lots of small wild blueberries in it. I recommend sharing as it's a decent size pancake for a side! It looks like they employ a lot of international workers which was super cool. There's a board by the host station with all the countries the staff is from! read more

It's a must when you're in Bar Harbor, our server (who I think was the owner or related) was wonderful- this place is constantly packed so I would go as early as possible to get a seat or expect to wait (even in the "off season") but there's nowhere comparable in my opinion. The blueberry pancakes are a must and their different omelet combos all sounded amazing it was hard to choose. Their biscuits with strawberry butter are one of the things they're known for so I'd at least be sure to try. Will definitely be returning next time we're in the area :) read more

Incredibly delicious Lobster Benedict. Quite possibly one of the best breakfasts I have ever eaten. The lobster was perfectly cooked and the eggs were perfectly poached, hollandaise sauce was bright and the perfect texture. I didn't love the English muffin but it was a fitting sponge for the saucy goodness. Potatoes were cooked and seasoned to perfection and the fresh fruit was a nice touch. Service was attentive, my coffee was never empty. I would eat here again in a heartbeat. read more

My favorite breakfast place in Bar Harbor. I've been going for many years. Cute place with a beautiful garden and outdoor seating. Love the summer scramble, blueberry pancakes, biscuit with strawberry butter, and the home fries. It can be pretty busy in the summer, but I think it is worth it and usually the people who work there are friendly and nice. read more

Overall: honestly love the design of this restaurant and the ambience. Definitely not writing home about the food as it was a very classic American diner. Nonetheless very cute spot and a good meal to have on the way out in the morning. Food: omelette was very standard flavors. Can't mess up eggs veggies and seasoning. I will say they had fun little condiments and sides with their maple syrup being delectable and the biscuit actually being quite good. Not too dense and not quite crumbly. The potatoes were roasted too an addicting level. Ambience/Decor/Service: colorful little house repurposed as a restaurant. Beautiful patio deck to absorb the weather. Fun indoor dining area perfect for kids with colorful chalkboards and fun tables and chairs. Runs a bit on the older side so it could use a little touching up of the furniture but honestly part of the vibe. read more

Yelp review 2 Cats Bar Harbor Looking for fresh home made meals with unique local ingredients Maine is known for this restaurant will not disappoint. Parking is on the street and can be a bit challenging but you pay electronically at the closest meter. Opened just for breakfast and they do a remarkable number of meals per day. We noticed a few owners happily gathered in a designated outdoor seating area with their well behaved four legged friends. We returned a few times, we enjoyed their versions of Eggs Benedict's which were done well, nicely portioned, base made of a homemade biscuit and well done Hollandaise sauce. Breakfast: Day 1 ***** Veggie Eggs Benedict- perfectly poached eggs, bed of fresh spinach and a delicious fresh baked biscuit rather than the usual English muffin. The spicy home fries were done well with crispy bits and toasty edges. **** Apple,Walnut and Cheddar Omelette- husband enjoyed this very much. Day 2 **** Lobster Eggs Benedict - nice chunks of lobster. **** Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict - tasty thin sliced slivers of smoked salmon layered with perfectly poached eggs. Day 3- yes, why change a good thing, we went with omelettes. ***** Smoked trout with dill and creamy horseradish sauce. The trout had a smooth smoky flavor and was incorporated nicely into the omelet. The fresh herbs and sauce perfectly imparted great flavor. **** Mushroom, Boursin and Scallion omelette was blended well, light and fluffy and greatly enjoyed by my husband. Topping all these delicious meals was great tasting coffee. Free WiFi. Friendly staff and enjoyable views of the flowered garden and colorful street scenes. We usually arrived after the busy breakfast rush and it was less crowded. Decidedly a favorite of ours and understandably popular. read more

First time coming here- It was pouring rain when we got here and we went inside to check in because there was a visible wait. The hostess came over to us and told us to wait outside, and proceeded to shoo us out the front door onto the deck and was tapping my arm while doing so. Very odd behavior- like don't touch me! She sat us and also proceeded to watch us the entire meal making me very uncomfortable. I have never experienced this at a restaurant. Our server was very nice though. The food was very good. The prices are high but to be expected in a tourist area. read more

As breakfast food lovers, this place was high on our list of restaurants to try in Bar Harbor so we went there on our first morning in town. We didn't think that was going to be an original idea on a busy holiday weekend, but we got seated right away on their spacious outdoor deck. With this being Maine, I had to try the Lobster Benedict...it was delicious! Others in our party had a Traditional Benedict and the Farmer's Breakfast - everyone really enjoyed their breakfast at this fun spot! the service was great, too! read more

I did not see one cat, let alone 2 cats. My daughter wore her cat jacket and was disappointed... and I figured that this would be a great time to teach her about disappointments, so not only did we get great food but my daughter learned a valuable life lesson. So since we were in Maine, my wife had the lobster omelette and I had lobster and poached eggs. The food was super good but they did run out of a few things even though we got there an hour before closing so I couldn't try the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. That aside it was fairly nice. read more

We stopped by in early afternoon approaching closing, so this might not be typical. We ordered drinks to go. We ordered a double espresso, iced latte and strawberry smoothie. The amount of actual liquid in the espresso was equivalent to a half espresso - a little more than a tablespoon. And very lukewarm. The latte was nearly all milk and ice, with a very slight hint of coffee. All this might've been because of being early afternoon and getting closer to closing, because many of the staff were rushing around. Maybe this wasn't the regular coffee barista. The smoothie was great! I'm told an 8 out of 10. read more

My sister, 2 of our friends, and I checked out 2 Cats while on a road trip last week. At first, we were a little bit confused whether or not they were open, because the typical apps (Yelp, Google Maps, Apple Maps, and regular Google) all told us different things as to if they were open or not. In the end, we called the restaurant and confirmed that they were open, and then headed over. One of us is gluten free and has Celiac's, and when we called the restaurant, they confirmed that they had gluten free options, which was amazing. It was raining, but we found free street parking just a few feet away from the restaurant and quickly walked over. Because of the weather, nobody was sitting outside, although we could see that the restaurant had a cute outdoor area, which I am sure would be nice on another day! Nevertheless, the host sat us quickly inside and the vibe was cozy and cute. We all ended up ordering eggs benedict, and my gluten free friend was allowed to substitute the hash for fruit, as the hash is not gluten free. We also each ordered drip coffee, and our server told us she would bring us some milk. The food and coffee were good, but I am taking off a star because when the bill came, we saw that they had charged us extra for the milk that the server offered, as well as the gluten free substitutions. This was not reflected on the menu, nor was it communicated when we were ordering, so it felt unnecessary and a bit rude. At the end of the day, a few dollars for milk or for a gluten free accommodation is not going to break the bank, but it did feel like the restaurant was trying to be sneaky the way that they did it. However, that is just my opinion, so hopefully others feel better with their experiences, because the food was good! read more

The food is incredible, with all the wonderful Maine specialties you could ask for. I got the lobster eggs benedict and it was not only so delicious, but I couldn't believe how many thick, juicy chunks of lobster they fit on top! Everything was wonderful, including the service. It really feels like a little family there. So happy we got to stop by! read more
