Great breakfast spot in Ogunquit. Loved the Blueberry French Toast. Cozy restaurant with terrific service. read more

This place was great. You could tell it would be great by the queue at the entrance of the restaurant. We had a party of 10 so, I expected the wait to be a little bit. Heads up, parking here is tough, as they only have two parking spaces for the restaurant. There is all day parking right down the street for $20, if you plan on spending the day in Ogunquit. The service was great and the order came out super fast. They have limited hours and close at 11:30 am. As far as the food, I ordered the blueberry French toast. I was surprised that they were not sweet and leaned more on the savory side because of the cream cheese. Overall, it was a great experience and I recommend this for a great Maine breakfast. I only gave 4 stars due to the parking debacle. read more

Cove Cafe - Maine Blueberry French Toast - American Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

Must try breakfast spot, just avoid the lobster. From reviews, I had to try the Blueberry Pancakes, they did not disappoint, AMAZING! The corn beef hash special was also delicious. Sadly the lobster was rubbery and tough and put a small damper to the breakfast. read more

Very popular breakfast spot in Ogunquit, so we had to try it! We sat at the enclosed porch, as we had our dog with us. Service was excellent and attentive. A lovely menu, and a lovely view towards a creak. High stools on a bar table wasn't very comfortable, but sort of worked out in the end. Food was nice and I liked that the omelette was accompanied but amazingly seasoned home fries. You should visit. It's an experience in Ogunquit, and you should get your own opinion about the place. Heads up: only 2 parking spots, so first come first served. Also, waiting line (no reservations). Also, closes at 11 am. So, early breakfast only ... read more

Driving back from Phippsburg, I wanted one last stop in Maine before I ended my solo long weekend trip. Ogunquit won the coin toss. Luckily there was no way at 7:30 on a Sunday morning. Sat right down and ordered a sausage cheese, tomato, spinach, and onion omelette. It came with toast and home fries. The omelette ingredients were so fresh and I ate every single bite that was on my plate. Parking is down near the Cove and drawbridge and it was six dollars an hour to park. There are two dedicated parking spots for the restaurant, but those are extremely hard to come by as you can imagine. Great town great family owned restaurant delicious food. It was the perfect way to end my solo long weekend. read more

Cute, tiny place at the entrance to Perkins Cove. We were seated pretty quickly at the bar and service was friendly and attentive. It's typical diner fare, but well done. And the portions are HUGE! We would go back. read more

Hands down my favorite breakfast in Ogunquit. If you're here during the season ( they close by Columbus Day), you MUST get up early and try this place. In fact, I came here twice during a 5 day stay. Pro tip: get here early. They open at 7am and close by 11:30. No call aheads, no reservations. Check their Facebook page for latest hours. Prepare to wait for large parties. The Lobstah Benny is the most delicious item. read more

Our family walked to the Cove Café for breakfast this morning. It was great! We had delicious French toast with cream cheese and blueberry sauce. We also had a really good crabcake Benedict with spicy seasonings. The omelette was nice, and the grilled blueberry muffin was excellent. Great service, a small café with a moderate wait. We had a good time. read more

An attractive cafe for breakfast before a day touring. Very friendly, great menu, reasonably priced. You will order from the counter and they will bring your meal to you. It looks like they will run out of space by the time you get to order but, as they write, trust the process. read more

We went here for breakfast and probably one of the few places that opens early. It is a very cute and quaint small place, but busy. We had the breakfast sandwiches, it was very good and generous with the eggs portion. The staff are friendly and helpful. Will come back again next time. read more

I love this cozy cafe. The food is excellent. The owners are long time friends that I love so much.

Very nice little place. This breakfast restaurant was all the rave in the area, so we had to have our last breakfast here before heading home. The breakfast was good....egg white omelet, Belgian waffle, sausage, cheese omelet with home fries was average....$61 w/tip. Nature of the beast these days. I hate and normally don't wait in any line for food, especially breakfast, but others insisted, so we stood in the parking lot in the sun for 20 minutes after having to PAY for parking a couple blocks away. Was it worth all that? nahhhh. You can get a breakfast like this just about anywhere, but it was still good. read more

Excellent place, food was fantastic. Definitely going back when we are back in that area read more

We are staying near Perkins cove and found this breakfast spot on our morning walk. We both loved our breakfast. The service is great and friendly. This is a family run business which is always nice to find. It is a small place with a counter and limited seating. One morning we had to wait, but no more than 10 minutes or so. Overall, a great place for a good breakfast with friendly people. We'll definitely be back! read more

Parking in Perkins Cove is absolutely horrific and we ended up paying $20 for the lot up the street from the cafe at 11:40am on Friday since the lower cheaper lot was full. I didn't realize the restaurant closed at noon, but they still seated us! They have about 6 tables inside and a few more outside. I suspect there's often a decent wait in the morning, but since we showed up so late, there wasn't any line. We got the Blueberry French Toast, the daily special Belgian Waffle with strawberries and blueberries, and the Crab Cakes and Eggs. Everything was delicious, especially the French toast!! The service was quick and friendly and we left around 12:15pm. read more

The service was terrible, we asked for a table of 5 seats and the hostess gave us three different times a 10 min wait, a 30 min wait or it could take as long other people eat. She seemed as if she was trying to convince us to not eat there while she sat 2 tables of four as we waited. No consideration of moving an extra chair from a half used table to one of the open tables of four. We waited the full 30 mins for her just to tell us probably another 15 or more. She was very non-welcoming from first introduction. We visit the cove every year and will never spend a dime based on their lack of accommodation and their prejudice to anyone with more than 4 people. If you have kids, good luck. read more

This place is the cutest breakfast spot! The staff are all incredibly friendly and accommodating. We ordered the lobster omlette and the blueberry French toast. Both were delicious! A lot of lobster in the omlette too. My parents came a few weeks ago and also said the staff are very nice and the food was great so that seems to be the standard here. Will definitely be back read more

For years my husband and I have loved this place when we visited many times a year. We now live in the area and went to Cove Cafe a few weeks ago. We were completely astounded with the increase of their prices! My husband ordered a frittata that came out greasy & thin. Price - $19!! We didn't bother to look at prices because it's always been pretty reasonable. Sadly we won't be going back. Plenty of breakfast places that serve good breakfasts for less money. Anchorage by the Sea for example. And it comes with a gorgeous view! read more

According to reviews, Cove Café is the top-rated breakfast spot on the southern tip of Ogunquit. That's a pretty high honor I think for a breakfast joint not far from fishing boats and Perkins Cove. Upon arrival, host will ask for your phone number for contact tracing purposes. Luckily, weather was gorgeous on our first visit, there wasn't a wait and we sat outdoors (no inside dining). They're known for many things- but their one signature Blueberry-topped French Toast, hubs was all over it. The French Toast itself is light and easily inhaled- but the Mascarpone and blueberry compote? That's what made the entire dish come together! My Lobster omelette wasn't just sprinkled with teeny-weeny lobster pieces- that sucker packed a serious punch with lobster chunks and at $15.99- that was outstanding! So much so, we had breakfast here a second time. Service was great from the guys and gals. Compared to other breakfast eateries in Ogunquit's midway point, Cove Café is away from all that hustle and bustle. We fueled up nicely. But listen...don't take my word for it- try it for yourself! read more

Oh. My. God. You *must* have breakfast at Cove Cafe! If you're a morning person, get over there! If you're *not* a morning person, get over it and go anyway. The staff is fantastic and the menu's even fantastic-ER. (It's a word, I swear.) The only downside is that the dining room isn't huge, so there's usually a wait unless you're really lucky. If you drive, plan on parking down in the public lot in the Cove. But really, this place is probably the best, friendliest breakfast in the area. (And if you want to challenge me, I will fight you for Cove Cafe' s honor the next time I'm in Ogunquit.) Buy a mug to take home, too! read more

My friends and I came here for breakfast before doing a little shopping in the cove. We were a group of 6 and it's first come first serve there so we did wait a little bit. But they were able to sit our whole group together and the staff was very friendly. My friends enjoyed their breakfasts and coffee. I have celiac and need to eat gluten free so I kept it simple with eggs and sausage and no toast. They do offer really delicious looking breakfast here but the ricotta pancakes and those kind of things aren't gluten free. The food came out so fast and it was amazing. We really enjoyed it here. read more

Cove Cafe - Sausages eggs, hash, hashbrowns - American Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

A cute and cozy cafe located near a beautiful beach view. I was hesitant coming in because the place was insanely packed (and small as well), and I was told there was a wait to be seated. Unexpectedly, we were seated quite quickly and food was served within 15 minutes. The meal was delicious - beautifully plated, fresh, nutritious, and flavorful. Nothing was too pricey - pretty much everything is under $15, at least by the menu I read. My only complaint is that on a busy day, parking is a pain because the lot is very small and when filled up, the only other choice is paid parking. The restaurant is also quite noisy. read more

My wife and I visited on a very busy Thursday morning and had to wait approximately 20-25 minutes but it was worth it. It's a nice, quaint café located a short walk from Perkins Cove. My wife and I sat at the counter and enjoyed watching how friendly the staff were to each other. My wife ordered 2 scrambled eggs, a fruit cup, and a blueberry muffin. I ordered the French toast with strawberries and a side of sausage. We each had coffee as well. My wife liked her eggs mentioned and the muffins were fresh and served warm. The fruit cup was fresh and a nice portion. My French toast consisted of 4 slices topped with plenty of strawberries. The sausage consisted of 3 links. Tasty. As coffee snobs, we would say the coffee was good. The prices were competitive for the area. The service was very good and friendly. There was a public parking lot located close but based upon the price $25, you better be making a day of it at Perkins Cove or downtown Ogunquit. read more
