Had a great experience here! I was concerned about the possibility of a wait because this place is…read moreso popular (especially on a Sunday), but they have online call-ahead seating, so we didn't wait at all. A couple of us had the banana nut French toast, two had the chocolate chip pancakes, and one had the Baja Grill. All the food was fantastic! Just really fresh and very tasty. I also splurged on the Grand Mimosa and it was really good. Very friendly service. We will definitely be back!

We visited Ellie's for breakfast recently after a recommendation. Sad to report it was not good…read more We were immediately served some apple slices dusted in cinnamon sugar. Nice unexpected start. My wife and I both ordered Eggs Benedicts, my wife with ham, mine with their own corned beef hash. This is where things took a downward swing. First, both dishes came out without Hollandaise sauce. We pointed this out to our server who apologized and immediately took both back. When they came back out the Holladaise looked broken. We decided to accept them as opposed to sending them back again, and the taste was off, with a slight sour hint. I mentioned this to the owner/chef who checked on us and he was surprised and told us he would check the sauce. We never saw or heard from him again. The corned beef hash was shredded corned beef mixed with hash brown potatoes, with the potatoes dominating. It lacked flavor. One of my eggs was over cooked, with a hard yolk. The accompanying homefries were nice, maybe the highlight of the meal. On the plus side, our server, who told us up front she was new, was very good. We may give it another try as maybe it was just a bad day in the kitchen.

My sister, mom and I went a few weeks ago for both breakfast and lunch, and we agreed that…read morebreakfast was the overall superior experience. Got the s'mores French toast with a chocolate frappe and both were heavenly!! Tried my sister's blueberry crunch pancake as well, which was both light and flavorful. When we went back for lunch, however, we found the experience less enjoyable. Both of our waitresses were lovely, but the lunch food was definitely less appealing to us than breakfast. Got a cheeseburger as well as some chicken tenders, which while decent, both lacked uniqueness in terms of flavor. Both were good, but not something I'd crave again. We also shared some loaded fries that lacked crunch and flavor - my mom in particular didn't like their softer texture. Tried some of my sister's chorizo burger though, which was well-seasoned and definitely better than my own burger. Both meals were also decently expensive, (don't remember the exact price, but around 60-80 w/o a tip, with tip it was nearly 100) The ambiance and decor was very charming, with plenty of cute signs and photos that felt very homey and casual. Would definitely recommend breakfast, but for lunch, improvements can be made. Would still recommend for wonderful service + environment though!

He had a coffee latte. Breakfast - BLTE for me on sourdough. it was great. The egg covered the whole sandwich, came with a side, I chose tater tots and they were tasty. He had ham & eggs with home fries. It was nice size piece of ham. Bill came to about $40 in April 2026.

I was looking for a breakfast place when came for the day in Salem NH. Most were closing early, but…read morethis one was open a bit longer and looked fine. So glad we came. I wanted breakfast, they had good choices, but I chose a chicken salad sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes and bacon. It came with two pickles and some chips.

The atmosphere is cool and welcoming, with a lot of vintage style decor to look at on the walls. The music is so loud, though, that it's difficult to have a conversation.

Our friendly server greeted us right away, took our drink order and then took our meal order when she brought our drinks within a few minutes of being seated. It was hard to decide what to get but my friend got the Irish Benny and I got the very generous sized special French toast that was listed that day with a delicious whipped cream topping and strawberries. Both were ample portions, cooked to perfection, very tasty, and arrived pretty quickly especially considering how busy they were! This was my 2nd visit and I will definitely make this a favorite destination having moved to Salem recently! I just wish I had remembered to take photos to share!

First of all the coffee is delicious. Smooth without a trace of bitterness. Mellow and perfect…read more I've never had a better cup of coffee. But the place is absolutely filthy. Junk everywhere; open boxes partially emptied, random items propped on chairs rendering them unusable. Dust on every surface. Across the back, a giant black cloth tacked to the wall with random racks. Looks like a school bulletin board that's just being started. They apparently have musicians some nights and all the musical equipment is pushed against the wall. There's a large cushioned seat with an enormous banner filled up on to it, so no one could sit on it. I can't have caffeine because of a heart condition. The owners insist that their coffee is "naturally low in caffeine" and has "half the caffeine of most decaffeinated coffee". So I foolishly had a cup and suffered with palpitations for several days. A caffeine sensitive friend had a similar experience. We had bagels and they were just meh, nothing special. So I'll probably never eat there again and won't have their coffee (caffeine) but we'll probably buy the coffee for my husband and other friends. It's very good.
