    After finally getting over the Bourne bridge, we needed an early lunch. When in Sandwich...get a Sandwich! Cafe Chew was switching from breakfast to lunch when we arrived, and the ordering process was really chaotic. The line was not well identified, and in addition to the regular menu, several "specials" were noted on various signs/blackboards at random locations. We were told it might take 40 minutes for our food to be ready, even though there were plenty of tables/seats available. I ordered the Meeting House Melt, which was described as rare roast beef. It wasn't rare at all, but was tender and the multigrain bread - after being pressed - was really good. I would have appreciated more horseradish aioli, as it wasn't detectable at all, and the meat was piled in the middle of the bread instead of being spread crust to crust. Also, the price was listed as $13.95 on the menu, but I was charged $14.95, plus an undisclosed $1.09 "service charge." The sandwich was good, but the disorganization, lengthy wait, and sketchy pricing practices were a turn off for me.

    The German breakfast sandwich and the iced mocha

    Wow! I've come here a few times for a lunch sandwich or salad, but this was my first breakfast experience and it didn't disappoint in the least! I cannot get over how good their German breakfast sandwich was! I can honestly I never would have thought of doing breakfast on a pretzel, and I'm sad this was a first because it was THAT good! Also, I must say picking a breakfast item was super hard because the entire menu is just top notch. Their coffees are so delicious too! It was hard to pick hot or iced, so I may have gotten one of each. Oops! I do not regret this choice at all! I also had to take some of their freshly baked items home for the remainder of the week. I cannot wait to get my hands on them! This place was packed, but it ran effective! The young man who greeted me was wonderful, the cashier was sweet, the barista was excellent and the owner was the most friendly, and helpful gentleman! I can see why it was packed---this cafe is an all around win! It's adorable inside the dining room, staff is great, menu is diverse and super unique, and everything was amazing! I will be back soon!

    Food - 2/3 of my breakfast was uncooked. Potatoes were warmed. Not cooked. Mushrooms were hard. Uncooked. Toast was asked to be dark. Came back light and unbuttered. There's no true waitstaff that checks on you so if you want to ask a question or get service, you have to get up and find someone. Ambiance is nice. Nothing outstanding. Their nuance to breakfast food isn't to my liking. Raw potatoes is not part of a good breakfast.

    A solid start to a morning in Sandwich, MA. Cafe Chew is a cutie spot with indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is full of great options but we opted for the Two Chew! Pancakes were crispy and flavorful, eggs were fluffy and fresh, but the bacon could've been better. Coffee was just okay! Service was fast but friendly.

    Bustling, busy place in Sandwich, MA offering a variety of menu items, coffee, bakery items (and really, how can you not get a sandwich in Sandwich????) which is obviously extremely popular spot in this Cape Cod town. We chose to get a tuna melt, a freshly brewed unsweetened green tea, and pastrami sandwich and an apple dirt bomb for take out. Our order was ready pretty quickly and we loved all of it. The staff were all so friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. Parking is in lot shared lot with other businesses and it was packed when we arrived during a low season rainy day in mid April. So be prepared for high season. Don't think they take reservations. Highly recommend!

    Stopped in here on a whim on my way to grab a brew up the street and I'm sure glad that I did. Cute little bakery/breakfast spot that would be easy to miss. Decided to get a sandwich because I had just seen the sandwich police and I was laughing about their name. Ended up with a California blt since the croissant looked good and I can't recall having a sandwich on one before. It was delightfully fresh but not super filling for the price. I really wish I would have splurged an insulin spike on some of their pastry as it looked fantastic! Staff were really friendly, the decor was inviting and everything was clean. The process of where to stand, where to order, where to pay and how to get a table is a bit convoluted but my take is that it's counter service and grab a table once you get your food. Thankfully it wasn't too busy when I was there, but I imagine a Saturday in July would be kind of wild. Overall, I would definitely make an effort to come back and hopefully when in the mood for a sweet treat.

    I appreciated that they had gluten-free options. I got a chocolate chip cookies as big as my head! I got a decent sandwich to go, and it looks like a great place to have breakfast and sit outside. The staff is very friendly.

    Been wanting to try this place for a while now, and glad I finally did. Some bomb sandwiches here. Great customer service. Was surprised how busy they were in the middle of winter. I can only imagine how busy they are in the summer months. Will definitely be back.

    Ordered the half a avocado chicken salad. Avocado was not fully ripe and could not believe that it wasn't peeled. Incredibly difficult to eat the salad as I had to take the avocado out, peel it, chop it up and then mix it in the salad. Maybe some advice... peel the avocado for the guests?? and the portion was very small for $16. I totally felt ripped off.

    Basic breakfast  sandwich.

    Very disorderly. Walk into a line, nobody knows what's going on. Nobody to seat you. We had to order at a counter & tell them we wanted to get a table. Owner or manager is picking friends out of the line & seating them. People cutting lines. Just.pure Chaos!

    Had a late lunch here while on vacation. You go up to the counter to order and then they bring out your food. Coffee was delicious and made quickly. I ordered a special-half avocado with chicken salad and a large green salad. Everything was fresh and the portion tasted great and was generous.

    Cute & bustling cafe in Sandwich with tasty brunch food. The operation was a little bit clunky, though. On Saturday morning, the line was out the door. There was a host, telling us general wait times. But you're supposed to claim your own table? With the permission of the host? & then order at the counter? Or, in our case, we were told to order at the counter first & then hopefully by the time our food was ready, there would be a table available. But other folks were snagging tables when we weren't looking? It was a bit of a mess! The host was visibly stressed, too. So I don't think this operation is working. Congratulations to the business, because they are so busy that they need to consider updating their M/O. Best of luck, Cafe Chew!

    Server dumped my salad from a glass plate into a takeout container IN FRONT OF ME mid bite(?!) salad is basically just lettuce.

Not busy at all. One very odd guy at the counter and 3 deuces besides us in booths. Hubs tried the Buffalo Chicken Tenders which he said were unremarkable but fine. I had the meatloaf dinner with mashed potatoes and the 'zucchini medley'. In all honesty but for the oiliness of the gravy my dinner was really good and so hot that I had to adjust everything in order to release some of the heat. The meatloaf was serviceable and a large portion of it (I'm having the remnants as a sandwich for lunch today), the mashed potatoes were definitely from fresh potatoes as I found a not unpleasant chunk of unmashed potato in there. The zucchini was a real treat with caramelized zucchini, which I love, crispy shallots and grape tomatoes. All, as I said, piping hot. Good, inexpensive diner food, server with speed, friendliness and care in a cutesy Cape Cod diner.

When I called the desk about it the employee cut me off to tell me I couldn't use the bathtub after 11pm (it was 9:45pm). And that stipulation was not apparent when we booked the room. I was too grossed out to use the tub at all the rest of the week, so that was a waste of money. The bathroom was overall not very clean or well-maintained. Shower had mold and needed to be re-grouted and small things like the towel holder were broken. The restaurant is super limited, only serving breakfast on weekends with like 4 things on the menu. And the food was below average. Most of the staff were very nice and the hotel has a charming aesthetic, but the standards absolutely do not match the price. I would've brought my qualms up to them instead of writing this review, but they did not bother to ask me how my stay was when I checked out. And this is more of a personal gripe, but we let them know it was our wedding week and they didn't do anything special. Usually a place in this price range gives you a little perk, like a mini bottle of champagne or a kind note waiting for you. Nothing from this place. Honestly just sad because this was a splurge we were excited about, but we should've just stayed at a more basic hotel.
