So I have to start off by saying this place is amazing, the food, coffee and atmosphere are so…read moregood ! The reason for only 2 stars is because of their hours. I now have to accept the fact that I can literally never go again. What kind of cafe is only open after most people go to work and close before they get out of work, and are closed Saturday and Sunday? They have effectively cut out the entire work force from ever being able to go. So if you're a normal working citizen you're out of luck unless you're retired or take a day off work . Craziness. I really hope they fix this.

Aroma joes beats out any Dunkin Donuts or any canned energy drink you have to have a rush if you…read morehaven't tried it yet Strawberry Banana with Extra Banana is my go the only thing I don't like is at the drive through they intentionally hand you the credit card machine and tell you, "It has a question to ask" then they stand there to see if your gonna tip and doing that immediately gets you none in my opinion anyway just run the card and give it back to the customer your way more likely to get a tip doing that and focusing on it being good and being right not focusing if your gonna get it or not and for the record that scenario never happens on the morning shift in only happens on the night shift but this is our 7 day a week morning spot! Rushes and the Egg Bacon Gouda on a Tucson Roll 4/5 cause of the tipping issue and those few employees that press the issue

Always amazing, staff is always nice. I come here often to grab a rush and a muffin!…read more The food is pretty good for a fast drive thru place.

Okay so our usual spot is Third Alarm Diner but they were down for maintenance Mel's is a Sanford,…read moreMaine staple the food was cooked absolutely perfectly and the Homemade Honey Oat bread is some of the best I've ever had in my life staff is very friendly and it's generally quiet with the sound of small talk in the background from the old timers there for coffee I'm not knocking Mel's at all it is definitely delicious food but I'm disappointed I paid significantly more than I would at Third Alarm diner and the servings of Bacon And home-fries was significantly smaller I would go there in the future again only if third alarm wasn't closed again only getting 4 stars cause of the price and portioning

Waitress was very nice and service was good. I got the blueberry pancakes and they were terrible…read more Very dry and falling apart. My husband went with me and he wasn't impressed with his breakfast either will not be going back.

I found this restaurant randomly as we drove from Vermont to Portland. This is the kind of find…read morethat I love - a local diner/cafe off the beaten path. If you find yourself in Sanford, this is a place that is a good find. The menu contains all of the breakfast and lunch standards. Breakfast is available until 2:00 pm, which is when the restaurant closes, so everything on the menu is sold from opening to close. My wife had the waffles ($4.99) and bacon. The bacon was crispy, but the waffles had a softer than usual (for us) texture. I'm not sure if that's normal, or just the batter and cooking that Sweet Memories does. However, it was tasty and she enjoyed it. I ordered the cleverly named "Big Breakfast" (8.89) that included: Three eggs served with two pieces, bacon, two sausages, a half slice a ham with home fries and your choice of toast or an English Muffin. The quality of the food is good and the prices are an amazingly good value. I'm sure that this same meal back home in Minneapolis would be more $15 for the Big Breakfast and $12 for the waffles and bacon. The service was a bit sluggish, but all in all, fine. I would love for a second location to open in Minneapolis, Minnesota, complete with the Sanford, Maine prices.

Service was slow but that could be because it was busy or they're short handed, I never saw anyone…read morejust standing around. It was busy, and I've heard many good things about this restaurant. The decor was cute and homey. I was not very impressed with my food. I ordered a kielbasa omelette with home fries and grilled English muffin. I don't know what they cooked the food in, some oil or butter, I don't know, but whatever that was, I did not like. I am not picky by any stretch of the imagination, but there was a flavor in all the food that just did not taste good. I couldn't finish any part of my breakfast.

Then the…read moretrouble stared first we ordered out beverages mine a creamsicle from adult menu she left brought my husbands drink and looked at me and said would you like something else because it takes me so long to make it!!! Then we ordered our food. Three more tables were seated and staff disappeared. I noticed That those tables got served before us! Hubby asked where our food was and why people who arrived after us got there food first, she said sorry we had a 30 top show up and it got crazy. 20 min. after that we were getting up to leave it came out she then asked if we wanted it to go. I asked for the check, left the food on the table and left a $1.00 tip and left!!!! We will never go back!!!!

Support Local so they stick around!! I'm so grateful for these guys being in Springvale…read more Bagels are homemade. The Zaatar one is So tasty (Zaatar = herbs & spices)! They have a plant-based cream cheese option now, along with Hummus. Hot and ice coffee available. Local bottled sodas available. They have vegetarian options and some vegan options - I believe the bagels are made with honey and some vegans don't eat honey. They are now open Friday and Saturday evenings with wine/alcohol and Non-alcoholic options. The non-alcoholic options look tasty and have healthier ingredients than most brands out there (good on you guys for paying attention to that!!) They also support local artists displaying their artwork on the walls. Parking: street parking. Both sides. Idk if it's acceptable, but I've parked in the DMV parking lot a couple times. There's also a parking lot behind the library - can walk through the old courthouse walkway area.
