We had been eating at Bell the Cat every single day of our month long stay here in Belfast, for either breakfast or or lunch . Healthy delicious food and exceedingly clean refresh ing environment too. Thank you to all the food prep and servers . read more

The sandwiches we had were really tasty. Fresh ingredients and generous portions. The cookies were a nice little dessert. The service was ok - one of our sandwiches was served almost 15 minutes after the others :( It seemed pretty popular so expect it to be noisy during peak times. read more

Probably the best breakfast in the area. Decent food, nice waitstaff and big bright clean dining room. Good for families or for friends to meet up. read more

Stopped by to breakfast and ordered the salmon bagel and a tropical sunrise smoothie. Cute place. Fast service. However, the salmon bagel (lox) was THE worst I've ever had in my entire life. Bland, bagel wasn't toasted enough, and salmon was turning. No capers. Disgusting. I ate half of it simply because I was hungry and needed sustenance. May as well have been cat food. The sunrise smoothie was equally bland. Looked nothing like the photo. My smoothie was a pale pink whereas the photo has a smoothie that looks orange like a sunrise. Overpriced garbage. I won't be back. read more

Bell the Cat - Latte love - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Belfast, Maine

We came on a Wednesday morning on our way into Portland. It was much classier and much more spacious than we expected! The space was beautiful and clean. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. Menu is full of so many options!!! I opted for the avocado toast and added an egg. My boyfriend got the salmon & eggs Benedict. Avocado toast + egg - it was okay. The avocado was much more smashed than I desired. Chunkier could give it more texture. It could've used a bit more flavor as well. salmon and eggs Benedict - it was great! My boyfriend said it was very flavorful and very well done! He would definitely get again! We sat outside and it was a beautiful day! We will definitely come back next time we road trip to Portland! read more

Brand new space outside of downtown Belfast. White tile, huge windows, plenty of space and parking. Staff really trying hard. Checked on us often though not table service. Burger and 2x sandwiches were both great. Russian tea.cake was a little large and dry. Mint chip milk shake was great. Clean bathrooms. read more

This is a popular place, but I've not had good experiences with the food or service. Granted, I have not been since they changed locations a few years ago. It's a fast and unique place, not a franchise. It isn't bad, as the popularity couldn't continue if it had nothing to offer. Just not for me. read more

Wow. What a breakfast. And the staff and environment is equally great. Make this a stop for sure. read more

Bell the Cat - Time to eat... ;) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Belfast, Maine

Wow, today's. breakfast was truly amazing! One of the best lattes I've ever had. the coffee itself was bold but not bitter and the foam was thick and rich and lasted the entire drink. We had the chicken and waffle that was perfect and could have fed two. The chicken was so tender for a fried item and the waffle was light and airy. The red flannel hash was perfect! Lots of tender corned beef and just the right amount of the delicious beet slaw. My over easy eggs were cooked perfectly and even the toast was awesome. One of the best breakfasts I've had out in years! read more

Hash in the Pan Locally-owned breakfast spot that's been in operation since 1994. It's gone thru multiple iterations over the years, as it started out as pastry and Italian soda joint, to now being a full-service breakfast and lunch spot. They also just recently moved down the street into these larger, more open digs. The Good: *Order at the counter and they bring it out to you. *Self-serve brewed coffee *Friendly service *Large private lot *Iced Mocha was tasty and had good flavor without being overly sweet. *Croissants are a carb option with your breakfast! No upcharge *Be sure to ask for the homemade jam *First time trying Red Flannel Hash, which evidently is a Maine staple. Essentially it is corned beef hash but with cooked beets and it was really tasty. The earthy sweetness of beets married well to the salty, beefy hash and when combined with the vevety runny egg yolks it made for a hearty and tasty breakfast. The Meh: *Menu is huge, which I'm not a fan of, but if you like variety they've got you covered. Conclusion: Nice spot for a hearty meal and a friendly smile while visiting Belfast. read more

We really enjoyed our smoothies and baked goods The dining area looks out onto an unexpected woodland scene. The curried chicken salad sandwich was delicious and available before lunchtime read more

This place was packed with people, which is always a good sign. The line to order was quick and the selection was very good. My lobster bisque was too thick, almost gummy, and there weren't any tidbits of lobster. Taste wise it wasn't screaming, "Lob-stah!" The place is very new and big. If you're coming with a group of, you good. read more

As we headed out to take in Acadia National Park, we searched for a nearby coffee shop to grab some well-made coffee. We found it nearby in Belfast. A uniquely named restaurant - Bell the Cat. We were greeted promptly by the owner, a delightful gentleman that was ready to seat us immediately. When we explained we were just here for takeout coffee, he escorted us to a second main counter where they were doing a bustling takeout business. We grabbed two coffees as multiple people came in to grab their breakfast pastries and food to go. The coffee was very good - hot, bold, and flavorful. It made the drive to Acadia so much easier. Give this place a try, it's delightful. read more

Breakfast was great, both my husband and I enjoyed the food and service. It was a busy restaurant and cheerful conversations surrounded us. I can't wait to return! read more

Nothing to brag about. " we don't have that today" was said about almost everything we tried to order. While order people just took our booth. The food wasn't really good. Over priced for mediocre service and food. I'll most likely won't go back. It felt more like a nursing home cafeteria. read more

What a pleasant experience I had today. The place is in an office park, with a ton of parking. When I walked in, I was struck by the spaciousness as well as the cleanliness. What a breath of fresh air. (The heat was out and it was freezing in the dining area, but I didn't mind. They were handing out cups of coffee to combat the cold.) Order at the counter, have it delivered to your seat. What a fine wrap I had--the veggies were delicious. My companion got a turkey sandwich and it did exceed expectations. All in all, I can't wait to go back. With chips, both sandos came to under 25 dollars. By the way, save room for cookies. Exquisite. read more

I got a cinnamon roll for breakfast. It was right out of the oven and delicious. Highly recommend. Atmosphere is nice, and service was great. read more

We went inside to do 3 take out orders and waited over 20 minutes for one of them. It appears they gave it to someone else with the same name possibly. So they had to remake it. We got to the park to eat and 1 of the 2 sandwiches was not included. My daughter called and asked them to deliver it to the park but she said they were unable to do that and offered a refund for the missing sandwich. Very disappointing. Several people had said they were checking on why it was taking so long but it didn't seem like they actually did anything until I got upset. read more

Bell the Cat is counter-table service style restaurant. You order at the counter and they deliver to your table. I had the blueberry French toast and enjoyed the uniqueness of it. There's an entire bar of coffee varieties to choose from and other coffee drinks available. Great stop for a quick and easy breakfast. read more

Stopped by Bell the Cat for breakfast while on vacation! Had the red flannel hash which I had never heard of. Gluten free toast was available to substitute for regular bread.

I would be happy to go back! read more

I have a gluten allergy so I was happy to see the GF options. I saw a daily soup menu while I was in line. It gave the ingredients of each soup and said the corn chowder was gluten-free. I did not read the ingredients because it said the soup was Gluten free. When I got to the register to order there was another daily soup menu, and I read the ingredients listed. It had wheat in the ingredients list. The woman at the register couldn't tell me if the corn chowder was gluten-free or not, so I didn't get it. I selected the Earl sandwich (roast beef with horseradish) on gluten-free bread, toasted. We sat and the sandwiches were delivered in a good timeframe given how busy it was today. The sandwich came with a small package of Lays potato chips and a pickle. The ingredients were fresh and sandwich was very good. I used the ladies room. It was clean and well stocked. read more

A fabulous sandwich shop located near Reny's for the win! I had a fabulous tuna melt (modified to use cheddar cheese) on the most delish bread. A very full menu with lots of choices. My companion followed my lead and had the same lunch. Crew at the front was friendly and accommodating. It appeared to me that all the tables were filled with happy patrons. read more

We loved this place and we didn't even get to stay and eat there! Love the concept (take out on one side, dine in on the other) and the style and atmosphere were perfect. Boy child and I had breakfast burritos that were great but I was jealous of Hubs, who got the Scaredy Goat Sandwich (amazing). Also snagged the best Russian Tea Cake cookie I've ever had. Good coffee too! read more
