Cole Road Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

Excellent food, excellent service great vibe, great coffee and the specials are creative.

In 2008, I was 38 weeks pregnant and a few friends took me out for breakfast here - on that fall day, I had the BEST best pancakes I have ever had (pumpkin and cranberry) and I have not found anything comparable to date. Since then, whenever we want a great breakfast, we head to Cole Road. Don't let the location fool you (hidden off Route 1, behind a car wash and across from a cemetery. The interior is funky and fun, and cozy. Service is typically pretty fast, even on a busy day - but the staff will keep the coffee flowing! You can't go wrong with any of their Eggs Benny versions, or an omelet with a grilled English muffin. read more

Service was as great as the food! Staff was very friendly and recommended the grilled blueberry muffin. They have my favorite home fries in the area and all the prices were very reasonable. I wish I knew about this place sooner it is definitely my new go to breakfast spot. read more

Cole Road Cafe - Spinach Tomato Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

No matter what people say, this is a down to earth diner hidden behind route 1. Kids working there were very nice and friendly. I got the eggs Benedict and like someone else said here, they do ask you how firm or soft you would like your eggs for the Benedict. I don't mind. Like the old school diner vibe with lots of nice and colorful pictures, decor. read more

Cole Road Cafe - eggs benedict and potatoes on a plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

Not sure why this is only rated 3.5 stars, this is a lovely little diner right off US-1. Servers were friendly and efficient and the food is very reasonably priced and well prepared. Good spot if you want someplace where the locals go read more

Cute little off the road spot on Biddeford. Small parking lot and off street parking. It was busy and we were sat fairly quickly. They have a specials board which I chose to order off of. Wait staff was very friendly and they seem to have a lot of "regulars" who dine there. Food was good for what I ordered. I ordered off the specials board. Hash Benedict. Comes with home fries. Their menu stated homemade hash, I was disappointed with it because it reminded me of the hash that came out of the can, I am not by any means saying it was not good, it was just a bit salty and had that look of the can stuff. My poached eggs were over done, the yolk was not runny at all which was disappointing. Home fries were delicious! I will return and give them another shot! read more

Cole Road Cafe - Hash Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

Conveniently located off of rt. 1 in Biddeford, this quaint diner offers a good meal! I ordered a BLT with home fries for pick up & although they were fairly busy my food came out right on time. The server was very polite & attentive! read more

Hadn't been in awhile. Service was good. Food was okay but thought it was pricey.Not sure if I would return

Service was good. Thought food was ok.Thought it was pricey for just 2 eggs,bacon,home fries and toast.

Food was yum. Weird question asked when ordering my eggs bene. Never had anyone ask if I wanted soft, medium, or hard eggs. What's that about, Maine? The room we ate in was loud. As in no amount of library voice would make it quieter. The food was good though. I'd totally eat there again. read more

Recently tried the 4 local breakfast spots in Biddeford/Saco. Went to Cole road this morning with my wife and grand daughter. Thats their weekly breakfast place. Very pleasantly surprised . Great breakfast!!!" Great waitress! Prices were very reasonable and a good, hot portion. Will definitely return. read more

Food here is amazing. Homemade taste and Daily specials are excellent. Check out the bbq meatloaf sandwich if they have it! Charming little place, definite diner meets mom's house vibes. read more

A cute little breakfast joint! I like that a number of the tables are painted in a fun artsy vibe. Went with the family and we all split the Greek omelette, french toast, and a simple scrambled egg. I really hoped that the cheese would melt a little better, but it was otherwise okay. The french toast was pretty solid, served with warm maple syrup and for a buck more, fruit and whipped cream. The service was friendly, fast, and welcoming. The prices are very fair. Overall, a solid place for a bite to eat. read more

Went on a Tuesday at 9:30am when the website said open. No they weren't. I'm not the only one that's wasted my time, two ladies pulled in same time as I did. Stop wasting people's time. I work seven days a week and took today off for several appointments and now I'm pressed for time to try to find something to eat. People's time is precious. Stop wasting it. read more

After a few more trips to the Cole Road Cafe, I think I understand the noise issue. It's the back room and when it gets full or people get loud, you can't talk or even hear the server. It's not so bad in the front because the sound gets broken up, but the back is an echo chamber. It's not a difficult or expensive fix, just add some hanging plants, put a few things on the walls and ceiling to diffuse the sound, and it would make a huge difference. As for the food, it's usually okay though a little bland. I like the homemade hash and they don't charge a fortune for it like the Palace Diner, but there wasn't as much of it on the hash benedict as I would have liked. On the last visit, my soft poached eggs were overcooked, one of the four breakfasts came out a few minutes after the others, and the server forgot one of the sides. I didn't say anything about my eggs because the place was slammed and the kitchen was a bit slow, but it wasn't really what I asked for. A nice thing about the Cole Road Cafe is that the wait isn't as long as other places on weekends and the food and coffee are alright. But if the line is out the door, I'd rather wait somewhere with better food. read more

So I have been here twice in the past two months and both times the waitress's have been so rude. I do not recommend this place. I will not come here again. read more

This place is great.I try to order a different special each time I go there, they are always so good. The owner is so nice and always so helpful. Try and go at least twice a week. Can't wait to go back read more

Small and cozy with great food. Have been for both breakfast and lunch. Love this place. Friendly service and staff read more

After reading the stellar reviews and hearing good things from a coworker of mine I had really high hopes for this place. For a basic review I can say this: Service- A Atmosphere - A- Food quality - B+ Food quantity - C+ When we walked in we were greeted by a very friendly hostess who seated us promptly. Most of the tables/booths were filled except one, but no one was eating at the counter... so all in all a packed house. Then seconds later we were greeted by a friendly waitress who got us drinks. I got a giant mug (the kind you have home which made me happy) of coffee. One down side, I like my coffee with skim milk.. but they only have whole so I settled with the half and half on the table. My cousin was pretty indecisive when it came down to ordering. There were so many different and interesting breakfast selections so we had to ask the waitress to come back at least twice. My cousin ordered the cinnamon hazelnut belgian waffle with strawberries and whipped cream. I ordered the hash benedict. It was nice that the waitress asked me how I liked my eggs poached. I said on the softer side. The time between ordering and food coming out was perfect. Not too long, not too quick to think it wasn't fresh. The food came out, and instant thought was.. I was underwhelmed with the portion size for both my plate and my cousin. When I think belgian waffle, I think of this 1.5 - 2 inch tall golden brown and crispy concoction covered with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. The waffle was maybe 3/4 of an inch... not consistently golden brown and it was topped with frozen/canned strawberries. Nonetheless, I got to taste the waffle anyway, it was only a bite but even with the single bite yes, I could taste the cinnamon, but I detected no hint of hazelnut and my piece of waffle was NOT crispy. I asked my cousin after if the waffle was crispy and I just got an off piece. No, it was crispy some places and soggy other places which means the waffle just was not cooked long enough. Though overall tasty, the waffle would have been better for $7. My hash benedict was good, but not great. First, I've gotten bennys from a lot of places, and this is the first time I've gotten a benny where the english muffin was much larger than the eggs (the english muffins are standard size). Maybe they did not use jumbo/extra large eggs but for an eggs benny, you should. I was underwhelmed with how small the egg was. Maybe they trimmed the egg for presentation... but if it was trimmed, it was trimmed too much! There was not much egg. But i can say the egg was poached to how I requested. The hash was tasty, and house made. The hollandaise was an oversight. Did not really taste like much, could have used more lemon juice. It was sprinkled with... dry chives or something which was not necessary. I figure if you do not have fresh herbs on hand to contrast the yellow hollandaise then just omitt it completely is what I think. Oh well.There was maybe 3/4 cup of home fries, but the seasoning was okay. But for 9.95... portions either the egg... the hash... the homefries should have been more. Overall, I would come back because I found the breakfast menu interesting. I loved the service, my coffee cup was never empty, the atmosphere is a place I would want to visit again. But little things kinda confused me. We were given the check but we were not offered dessert even though I heard our waitress offer dessert to other tables. Oh well, I still asked for the lemon pie. The waitress gladly went to go get it, she came back saying they were sold out. She was in the back of the kitchen and the cook was eating the last slice. The waitress's excuse was the kitchen was closed 30 minutes ago... 30 minutes ago? When we left it was only 1:45, maybe 2 o'clock. you're telling me you close your kitchen when lunch time is still in progress? I digress. Alas, I'd come back here but... other items since the waffle was kind of meh, and the hash benedict was a moderate let down. read more

This place is a hidden gem of delicious creative cuisine! Fresh ingredients, clean atmosphere, wonderful service, quaint and cozy! Highly recommend!!! read more

I've been coming to Cole Road for years and I've always enjoyed it. I love sitting by the window looking at the cute birds. It can get a little loud in that area when it's a full house. Yesterday, I ordered the Greek omelet and it was just ok, lacking flavor & seasoning. It's usually better, not sure what happened yesterday. The home fries are decent and the toast was a bit on the burnt side but it did not stop me from eating it. :) The service is always great and I like the atmosphere even when it's loud. read more

Cole Road Cafe is the kind of place you'll want to go back to time and time again. If you like to enjoy good food, friendly service,and casual dinning for a great price, you'll love Cole Road. Thier specials board is new every day and the owner does a great job keeping the recipes innovative and exciting. When you sit down, there is alway the great smell of coffee brewing and the sound of friendly chatter. Thier mismatched plates and coffee mugs make you feel right at home. I've been going for years with my whole family and they love it too. So stop on by and give it try. It might be you're first time but it won't be your last. Oh yea, I forgot to mention that it's " cash only". ENJOY !! read more

Cole Road Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

Cozy little place with good service and good food. Over easy cooked to perfection, enjoyed the sausages and I like the small cubed home fries because they were crispy. Not a lot of spices used but I don't mind adding my own. Portions are appropriate, not too big. Reasonable price. Coffee was good. Vibe was comfy. read more

I have visited this restaurant on 4 separate occasions, when busy and not busy. The place is cute and eclectic. The food however is lacking. I have tried eggs, omelets, french toast, etc. I just found each meal blah. Never finished my food. The omelet had uncooked veggies and was soaking wet/soggy just yucky. My family members didn't enjoy their food either. I gave it few tries thinking it may get better. Nope, I give up and won't return. Too bad because it really is cute cafe and breakfast is my favorite meal. Service was soso, even on the slow day. read more

When it's time to "find me some breakfast," this is my number one choice. I moved to the Biddeford area about a year ago, and one of my first ventures was to find a good breakfast spot. I was disappointed to discover that the pickings were slim. Until I discovered Cole Rd thanks to a friend. Wonderful atmosphere, giant mugs of coffee, excellent servers, fantastic food. Particularly the specials. I never know what to order - everything sounds fantastic. And upon ordering, it IS fantastic. Remember to grab cash before you come, as they don't take credit. But that's not a reason to complain. Try coming on a weekday (closed Mondays). The crowds are down and the hostess, servers, and cooks all have stories and playful attitudes to share. They've become a refuge in this crazy world. read more

I lost my ring down the sink drain. Cole road took the extra time to disassemble their plumbing to remove my ring!! So kind. Plus, the food is good and the coffee is always fresh. read more

This is my favorite breakfast place in the area. Food alway hot and delicious, wait staff super friendly and attentive. The home made muffins are a must. read more

Absolute best place I have ever gone for breakfast. When I think of great places to eat breakfast this one beats all 3 of my other 5 star breakfast picks (Sneakers in Burlington, VT, Wooden Spoon in Somersworth, NH and Eggspectaions in South Portland, ME). Great atmosphere, awesome specials menu and some of the most friendly people you've ever met. A little on the small side, but worth the wait! Try the waffles, try the omelets, try the pancakes... you really can't go wrong. Damn I gotta get out and get some breakfast tomorrow morning. read more

Every once in a while I come across a higher rated yelp restaurant where I don't seem to agree with the crowd. I had the mexican omelet and was not impressed. It was advertised as sausage, onions, peppers, and jack cheese. What i received was an over cooked omlet with alot of sausage and almost no onions or peppers. Remeber "Where's the beef?" Well, this was "Where's the cheese?". I also paid $1.5 extra for the homemade wheat toast. (two slices). It was nothing to write home about and wasn't as good as what I get from the local grocery. Many folks that order wheat are doing so as a healthier alternative. This came soaked in butter. Soaked as in squeeze the bread a bit and it drips off. The potatoes were the best thing on the plate - hot and nicely seasoned. Food: C Service : B Price :B Atmosphere: B read more

Small diners are loud. Because most of us are having fun, talking, and enjoying that we had a few extra dollars to spend to have some else make and serve us breakfast. Eat at home if you want quiet and don't spoil things for everyone else. read more

This place has excellent breakfast and outstanding service! The portions are good sized, with decent sized cups of coffee and juice. The specials are always very interesting, including a spinach eggs benedict that was quite tasty. Only downside is they do not accept credit cards, and the prices are just a tiny bit higher than you might see at other places. However, I feel that stopping at the ATM is well worth the trouble! read more

The food was great, the staff was super friendly, and some really interesting breakfast combinations! (strawberry and pistachio pancakes!) We had the hash, home fries, raspberry croissant french toast and sausage. The coffee was also delicious. I would give 4.5 stars if I could, but since the service is good but not great( refilled my coffee but not my partners, even though they were right next to each other) and the cash only bit makes it 4. read more

Visiting from VA. Was in a hardware store. Asked them where is a good place for breakfast. They said right across the street. The Cole Road Cafe. . There were thirty cars outside.The place was packed. The food was excellent This many people know a good thing read more

Breakfast was ok. The hash benedict was good. The pesto scrambled eggs were bland and there was no evidence of pesto. The reuben omelette was too salty and just ok. The homemade marble rye was good. My favorite was the cinnamon oatmeal pancake. I won't be in a hurry to return. read more

This restaurant is very small be prepared to wait on the weekends. The food was average at best. I ordered the eggs Benedict but the hollandaise sauce was awful. It lacked flavour and it was like they poured butter on my eggs. They put one slice of ham on the two halves of English muffin and it was too tough to cut with my butter knife. The waitress was nice and the place was clean. read more

Been here a few times and always had great food and excellent service. Don't get there often as they close at 1:00 pm and we are seldom in Biddeford that early but when we are we go here for lunch. If you haven't been try them I am sure you will be glad you did. Their fries are to die for. read more

Im not sure why this awesome place has only 3 stars, i love it and im giving it 5! Coffee is great, service is friendly, atmosphere is just like grandmas kitchen! I adore all the mix matched coffee mugs and they cook my eggs perfectly every time! Highly recommend this little hidden gem! read more
