The best coffee for many MANY miles to the best of my knowledge. I suppose you could do better at some super bouchie place in NY but this is seriously good stuff. I have not eaten here yet but the sandwiches looked equally awesome. The best part about this place is that has all of the advantages of a modern contemporary cafe without spoiling any of the homie small town ambiance of Wolfeborro. It fits is perfectly and is a wonderful addition to the area. Their porch outback is the best lakeside dining view you will ever have. I intend to go back soon for breakfast. I think this will fill the breakfast void left when we lost Bailey's up town. read more

Astonished at the poor reviews! This has been our go-to lunch place for years. Food is consistently good, place is clean, dining room is sunny and airy, and staff are nice. Only drawback is they close at 2:00 p.m. read more

Their scones are so amazingly wonderful. If you order a muffin, they will cut it in half and grill it! Pretty special! Always great service, and such incredible views of Wolfeboro Harbor! This place takes great pride in the product that they serve. read more

Purchased a cup of medium roast coffee. Took 2 sips and had to throw it away. The most bitter, horrible coffee I have had in my entire life. Hopefully their other beverages aren't as rancid as this one. read more

The owner guy here is awesome and laid back. Seems to know most of the people who come into the cafe. Big fan of this place

Great food wish they would open for dinner but other than that good food good customer service I was a joy go in there

Homemade muffins that can be grilled and butter? YES PLEASE! I love their cranberry orange and triple berry. Be sure to grab them early on in the day - it'll definitely brighten up your morning read more

Have been there for breakfast and had an awesome omelet. Also get lunch for carryout a few times. Service is fast and friendly and the food is good. Fair warning though.. Do not get the double Cubano burger unless you're seriously hungry, that thing is massive, and so good you will finish it and then be too full to move! read more

I always suggest my clients to come here. It use to be a pharmacy with the entire lakeside section for storage. The owners knew that opening that part up and then adding a deck make it the most perfect setting for dining. Ad that the food is consistently interesting and excellent this is a must have place in your collection of eateries to go to. read more

Horrible. Disorganized service. Long wait not a peak time. Covid has done a number on this place.

I spend a ton of time in Wolfeboro over the summer - I have eaten in all the restaurants many times. The Cafe has emerged as my favorite. The food is consistently delicious. They use high quality products in their meats, bread etc. simple as that. Along with some creative sandwiches, excellent burgers, and very good cup of coffee. I like the ice coffee, my wife gets the lattes. My kids usually split the cuban panini , my wife gets California avocado club and i get the cuban burger. For breakfast i usually get an sausage egg and cheese on english. The sausage is great, compare to DD which I do eat the Cafe's is far superior. Sometime ordering can be slow, their setup is not ideal. that is the one drawback, if your in a rush during primetime you may have a wait. Last note is on the staff - they are great, attentive professional, the whole package. I love this place! read more

Downtown Grill - My dogs, heading to Cafe. Dogs are not allowed in. Except service. - American Near Me - Wolfeboro, New Hampshire

After spending $42 for 2 sandwiches and 1 iced tea (including tip for no wait service) I asked for a refill on my iced tea on the way out and was told they would have to charge me! Seriously??? After spending $42 they wanted to charge me for an additional 6oz of plain iced tea? read more

Mixed feelings about Downtown Grille Cafe. The goods: + Excellent, delicious food. I had the turkey cranberry panini with some sweet potato fries. Love it! + Reasonable prices + Pretty quick turnaround considering how busy they seemed. + Great location right by the town docks, so we drove over in our boat, tied up to the dock, and walked in for lunch. The not-so-goods: - Nowhere on the door outside, the big menu inside, the handheld menu, or the online menu does it say they only serve breakfast until 11 a.m. Makes for a frustrating change of expectations when your kids get excited about waffles. - The staff lacked enthusiasm and seemed annoyed that we were there. - The tables weren't wiped down between customers, so the empty tables had sticky remnants of the previous customers. In the end, the food was good enough that I would go back. I just wouldn't expect a warm welcome or clean tables. ...or breakfast. read more

I had such a bad experience I actually downloaded the yelp app for the first time just to bitch about it. Summary: -Rude staff who lack ability to function in society politely -Overpriced -Poor quality Details: Horrid experience here. We have been going here for years and the food has been getting worse and worse. $9 for small sandwiches that do not even include chips or a pickle. Once I ordered a salad and it came with less than a handful of lettuce for $11. Yesterday, it took a second phone call before one of their 5-6 employees answered to take my order (at 2pm which shouldn't have been a busy time). The. When I came to pick up my order, the staff was either working hard or 2-3 of them were just standing around. No one greeted me as I stood at the register. All ignored me as I awkwardly stared at them for over 5 minutes and could see my takeout order with my name on it sitting there. I finally had to ask for my food and the girl said "$27" (for 2 adult sandwiches and a kids grilled cheese) and then she failed to say "thank you" or "have a nice day", or anything pleasant at all. I wanted to order coffee as it usually is delicious there but I was so disgusted with them that we went down the street and bought it elsewhere. read more

This is a cozy place with a beautiful view. There are three separated sections here and a fireplace sitting area as well. Very nice and cozy for a light meeting or serious homework. Lol. The drinks were great, service friendly and best of all is that the prices were very reasonable. Will definitely stop in again when I'm passing though. Enjoy! read more

Stumbled on this gem while visiting Wolfeboro today. We wanted waterfront lunch with a great view and this cafe more than delivered! Fantastic view of Lake Winnipesaukee and next to a lovely shady park at the dock. So quaint and again, stunning views! We ordered the cranberry turkey wrap and it was served with homemade chips. Very good. Very friendly staff as well. The 5 stars is definitely for the views! read more

Very unsafe place. Most employees are not wearing masks. Also, customers are served who are not wearing masks. Food is very average. @James (09/10/2020): 1) When I visited your place there were two groups of customers not wearing masks. None of your employees asked them to put on masks or even offered them with any. 2) Think about it for a moment: You have an open kitchen and your staff is walking back and forth between the cash area and the kitchen area not wearing a mask. Do you think the virus will just stop spreading where the (open) kitchen area ends? This doesn't make any sense, sorry. read more

Came to wolfeboro for a wedding and found ourselves reading reviews for a breakfast place. Let me say, I am incredibly CONFUSED at all of the five star reviews and the continuous line at the register. You walk in and order your food at a register where they give you a number for your table. It cost us 30$ for 1 Bloody Mary, 1 water, 1 omelette, 1 egg wrap. OK. That's fine, must be good-we thought. The Bloody Mary was so spicy I couldn't even drink it. Literally wasted. We sat down at a table and waited patiently. We received our food about 20 minutes later and were immediately disappointed. Milk carton eggs, cold English muffin, The wrap was meh, Poor quality. We LOVE going to brunch and enjoy the overall experience--this was not that. I truly dislike writing negative reviews but someone needs to talk about the real deal here. read more

Worth the wait! The line was long but moves relatively quickly and omg the food is delicious! We had breakfast food, I had a bacon egg and cheese croissant, the cold brew coffee is amazing too! My fiancé got the corn beef hash wrap, also amazing! Ambiance in the restaurant is really nice. People behind the counter were also very nice and prompt. Overall, lovely place we will be back again! read more

Nice order-at-the-counter cafe, they bring the food to your table, and there's a deceptively large amount of seating once you discover the back area. I got the special of the day- a salami and provolone sandwich that had just the right amount of mustard and huge thick slices of salami. Really tasty, but a little hard to get my teeth through. It was about $8 and came with their homemade potato chips. I don't always like homemade chips because sometimes kettle chips have the texture of glass shards and I'm not about that but these were merely crunchy. If anything, they were on the side of underdone, as some of them were distinctly chewy, though I didn't mind. Their fries are the kind I refer to as "Pizza Place fries" because they seem to abound at restaurants that don't normally serve fries but have them on their menu anyway. They're the long ones with the crunchy crumb-prone coating over them. They were hot and tasty, but the large was only just enough to share between two people. I'd love to try their California Panini sandwich, it looked great! read more

Yummy breakfast and lunch, and nice view of the lake (plus outdoor deck). Just wish they were open for dinner -- they'd crush it, especially since they sell beer and wine (at least during the summer...) read more

This place was rather shockingly nice, given the unassuming exterior. Interior is spacious and clean, the decor is nice. This place seems to have it all: Food (seemed like a good selection, and I enjoyed the fruit salad, which was fresh and had a good mix of things I like), coffee (really good), gelato (also great), and some options for wine, beer, and sangria (didn't try, but seemed like a decent selection), free wi-fi, good service. A great place for a meal, or just to escape the summer heat for a while and enjoy a drink and the lake-side view. read more

Our fav place every summer on vaca. Love it ! Breakfast and coffee are wonderful. And you can see the lake in the back seating area ! read more

Food seems to be priced for tourists, so it ends up being way over-priced for the quality. Coffee was meh - a bit harsh and burnt tasting, not the worst I've had, but I was hoping for more. On the positive side, the back deck has a nice view, the girls who worked there were pleasant, and the water was good. However, I wouldn't go back for either coffee or food. read more

Don't expect more than average food and bad service. Had to come back two times to get order an order of chicken sandwich and two spinach salads correct. The second time I went back because my salad wasn't tossed, like I asked for three times when I was at the counter, and there was no dressing on it the manager said that my salad was tossed but this salad doesn't automatically come with dressing. When I asked what it was tossed with, and what the concept of tossing a salad meant to them they wouldn't answer. When the manager persisted that salads don't always come with dressings the owner at first stepped in and said I was correct, but then said "I'm not sure why you are still here" my answer "I don't have an edible salad yet so...". I asked them to refund the very generous $6 tip I left on takeout food which they did but they were never apologetic about their mistake or offered any kind of apologetic words about me having to come back two times to get my food. Take away check your before you leave. Don't expect great counter service. read more

I love this place! I have been in a couple of times & had super yummy wraps.I went in w/a friend earlier this week & had the avocado BLT & the Hungarian mushroom soup...so good! Full of mushrooms & flavor.Check it out! read more

Poor service and snarky cashier girl. I was left to wait for 2 got chocolates for 15 minutes while there was no one else in line. When I asked where my hot chocolate the cashier girl pointed to another girl who was apparently taking a long phone order. I suppose her and the other 2 girls couldn't be bothered to help. This wasn't being slammed, this was apathy. read more

This place is super nice! I really liked the decor and patio outside. It was partly cloudy and the umbrellas shielded me from the sun when it did come out. I had the California pannini. My husband had the lobster roll. We both indulged with red Sangria. My sandwich was very tasty. Not too oily. Lots of turkey and spinach. The mozzarella was pretty good as well. My husband said his lobster roll was very good and he liked that they had a cup of butter on the side so he could put as much as he wanted on. The sangria was really good as well. Not too sweet. Just right. I would come back for sure! read more

Do NOT eat here. Most unsafe place I have seen since COVID began six months ago. The only employee who wears a mask is the one working the cash register. Everyone who prepares food and beverages wears no mask, no gloves, and they are tightly packed. I saw one sneeze all over a cookie lol. They also do not have any distancing or mask guidelines for customers. There were easily 30 people crammed into a small space with other customers breathing down my neck with no masks. read more

I hate giving three stars as my family loves this place. Food quality and selection is great. Service is lackluster, and cleanliness questionable. Views are nice, and interior unremarkable. Matter of fact we have come 20+ times and rarely is our order 100% correct. Muffins are delicious and great variety. LOVE the corned beef. Coffee is better than most places around, but, on a busy day, the staff can't seem to keep up with it. Never seem to get here for lunch but have heard good things. Could be four stars with some training and adult supervision. read more

My wife and I visited for lunch on Monday and I had the Lamb Panini special...delicious! Sliced roasted lamb was so tender and well-seasoned. Definitely recommend this spot. read more

Great place for breakfast! Breakfast sandwiches, waffles, omelets and muffins were enjoyed by our group. Freshly prepared and in delivered to our table. My only reservation on giving 5 stars was that no one was cleaning tables, so we had to wipe up someone else's table to use it. There were many dirty tables (not just that one). Would totally stop in again. read more

This place takes extra long and sometimes forgets to even carry out your order. Waited 45 minutes for my food.

We went here every day for breakfast and got a lunch to go for our trip home. Very accommodating for those who have GF/Celiac issues. Made sure the bread was toasted on a separate surface than regular bread. Food selection was great for breakfast. A little pricey but the portions are large. Free refills on mugs of coffee/tea. Lunch time Salads/Cold sandwich selection limited but the hot sandwiches looked really good. read more

Love the friendly atmosphere, having a cappuccino by the fireplace. Very nice way to start the day.

If you are gluten free don't bother eating here. Twice in two weeks they didn't have gluten free wraps. Today our sandwich arrived as a burnt mess. read more

Downtown Grill - How delicious does this look? Not. - American Near Me - Wolfeboro, New Hampshire

This place was really nice and had some really good food. Its prepared in a very nice way and the food looks amazing. I had a lobster roll which was tasty and loaded with lobster. I chose the onion rings and those were really good too. The butter sauce that came with it could have been melted more, but it was not a deal breaker. This place has an excellent view out front of the water, but when we were there all the seats were taken because it was a very busy time of day. I will return to the Downtown Grille Cafe next time I hit up the NH area for sure. I need to try all the different things on their menu!!! I also had ordered a chocolate cookie which was tasty and loaded with peanut butter which was different... read more

Fresh Gourmet Coffee Excellent fresh baked goods. Beautiful view Efficient self service and charming weight staff to bring food to your table. The best though is the Chili Dog. The best I have ever had. Gourmet Frankfurter, 11 herb chili, 3 types of beans and chopped scallions.. Just delicious. All prepared by a young innovative Chef named Lisa... best Chili Dog in the country.. I never do 5 stars..but close... read more

Yummy!! I love downtown grille. They have so much space and delicious food. I love their knowledge in the coffee department (it's the only city thing I need) and their sandwhiches. Yesterday I had the ultimate grilled cheese (pesto, 3 cheeses, bacon, wheat bread) and a basket of their amazing fries. (OMG they have real, crispy fries...not steak fries) -- hubby had a ham panini. Over the summers we have seen so many places come and go, but downtown grille (especially since they moved locations and now have a view of the lake), is our new go to. We know this place will end up staying!! read more

Went here with my folks and Yummmmmy! I had the California club panini, and it was wicked good! I would definitely order again. Had that with their iced coffee, um that was awesome as well. Mom had the egg salad sandwich, she enjoyed with the mango iced tea. Dad had the chili, he said it was really bland. So he added Tobasco sauce. He says d that helped some but not enough. He had an iced tea as well. Service was great and friendly. I look forward to going back in the future. Plus the views aren't that bad either! It's a lil pricey, I wished they offered chips of some sort with the meal. As the goal was just about $32. read more
