Bell the Cat - classic breakfast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Belfast, Maine

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great food, great specialty coffees, super nice employees, cute atmosphere. Traveling through from IN. Highly recommend!

Salad was good as was sandwich we ordered. Coffee was a disappointment, very acidic. Regular fare. Don't like to be asked for a tip BEFORE we receive food. They deliver food to table, is that worth a tip????? Pay your staff more and don't ask customers to foot your payroll. read more

I haven't been to the new location yet the old location was awesome. Great food personable staff and very clean. The food is great !

Cafeteria style food. Bought a sandwich that barely had any turkey on it and the bread was bland and crumbly. Being in their new location you feel like you are at a medical center cafeteria. read more

Stopped here for breakfast on our way down the coast of Maine. Super fast, friendly service. The restaurant side itself must be new because it is all freshly renovated and very clean. The food came out quickly. The hot mocha was in the top 3 best my husband has ever had, and he orders one every breakfast place that serves it. I got the bee sting breakfast sandwich and it was honestly perfect! The combination of hot honey and jalapeño cream cheese was sweet and spicy perfection!!! And the croissant was really good too. If we ever find ourself in this area again we would definitely come back! Thank you. read more

Let me start with that I really want to like this place, but I have yet to have a good experience. So I was convinced to give bell another try... As with every time I've been the staff was cold and rude. Sometimes places just have a vibe and everyone gets treated rudely however I observed that other customers were treated more respectfully. I ordered the veggie deluxe sandwich to go. The wait time considering how busy they were was reasonable. The sandwich was terrible. It's supposed to be "two eggs, sliced avocado, baby spinach, tomato, and cheddar cheese" on an English muffin. What I got was eggs, avocado on half, and Swiss cheese on an English muffin. Horrible. It was extremely disappointing. The eggs tasted like they hadn't been seasoned with anything at all. You could have at least used salt and pepper! Very bland. If you have to substitute an item, like the cheese... or you're missing items, please say something to the customer. The coffee was also gas station quality. Maine has lots of great local roasters. Please use one like Rock City, Coffee by design, or 44 North. if you're going to charge a premium the quality should reflect. read more

Excellent! Great menu choices, honest to goodness cappuccino that was as good as the ones I had in Venice! Our server was personable and kind. The food delish and so filling - if you are visiting don't think twice on a stop here - you won't be disappointed! Ohhh and get yourself a raspberry filled sugar cookie - you can thank me later! read more

Wow. Can't believe we ignored this restaurant for years. A friend recommended it, we thought it was a fast food place or something. When they say "generous" portion of curried chicken salad on your greens they mean GENEROUS! Absolutely delicious and extra package of Ken's salad dressing no charge. My husband flipped over his (big) roast beef sandwich. Said the quality of the roast beef was excellent. And did I mention... it was BIG. The girls/women working here are so nice it's crazy, nice nice nice and so attentive. It's not fancy dining but it is QUALITY FOOD. And the prices are like from 15 years ago, no rip off prices anywhere. And! they have a drive up window for to go orders. Wow. read more
