Stopped here for our last day in New Bedford. Our waitress was quite sweet and attentive. She dealt with a group of 6 and did it wonderfully. Answering all our questions with poise. I ordered the pancake sandwich with turkey bacon and it was just the right size for me. It was also delicious. Nice and fluffy and light. To drink I had coffee. It is a nice little spot for breakfast or brunch if you're in the area. There are a couple native Cape Verdian items on the menu. But there are also great universal items as well. read more

Driving Mass to NJ, got off the highway to find breakfast, found Izzy's (yelp recommended) Nothing fancy but I had a delicious scrambled egg, sausage and cheese sandwich on marble rye bread! My wife got scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes and white toast and OJ. Coffee and tea also. Fast friendly service, very good prices, and we ate everything on our plates and were on our way, happy and ready for a 5 hour drive! Also learned a bit about Cape Verde! Have a great day! read more

You ever go to a breakfast place and think "it's the same absolutely everywhere I NEED something different" this is the place to go trust me. Absolute authentic Cape Verdean food by the owner herself? I had the opportunity to meet with the owner while dining here and the knowledge she had about her own culture in her food was astonishing. You can tell how passionate she is about this business. In an already competitive field she's putting her own spin on breakfast and brunch. Not to mention the prices are so affordable that when you finish eating these well portioned dishes you feel complete even with the extra money in your pocket. The owner also runs a food truck on Wednesday to further promote her business. How many people do you know nowadays actively work every day to put their name out there while also having the skills to back it up? Check this place out. Won't regret it. read more

Food was cooked to perfection! Best pancake I've had!! Service was great! Was surprised me and my friend were the only ones there, but there was a lot of To-Go orders at least. So I thought I'd write a review to get more attention on this place hopefully! I wish this place was in Ohio!!

Very friendly service. I asked what I should try and the cachupa was recommended. It was very good. It was mostly beans but still tasted pretty good. I asked for my eggs over easy and I'm assuming the cook doesn't get requests for over easy because it was more like sunny side up. Parking can be tough because of its location in the city. read more

Izzy is a goddess of food! I've lived in New Beddy for over 10 years and for whatever reason never walked into Izzy's. Needless to say, I intend to make up for lost time. Her menu is Cape Verde focused (I had to ask what a few menu items were b/c I'm uncultured). Somehow even the standard pancake is the most fluffy heavenly experience ever created. Her main course is breakfast, but there are lots of lunch items too. No matter the dish, you will be stuffed and may not even finish your food. Besides trying everything, may I recommend any dish with Cachupa and/or swapping the bread in your breakfast sandwich out for pancake bread. My next dish will for certain be the Cachupa Burrito. Eat in or take out. I don't mind waiting the 10 min for the take-out. The staff is welcoming and happy to make you feel at home. I will likely call ahead next order, so I can grab and go, per recommendation of the staff. I saw they do coffee to go if you need to top off the tank. Shout out to New Bedford Food Tour for introducing me in to Izzy's. My next date will be here and I will bring all my family who come to visit the area so I can blow their minds with local food. I'm so happy to find my new favorite NB eatery, a truly unique menu made by an incredible chef. Izzy, I think I love you. read more

I had a great experience at Izzys for breakfast. The service was attentive and friendly. This was my first time eating Cape Verdean food, so my server was happy to explain a few of the dishes to me. I had the Cachupa with linguiça. It was savory with a great texture and flavor. The coffee was good as well and the flan was a nice dessert. I have eaten at many small restaurants all over the Caribbean and Izzy's reminded me of one of these small family / home kitchen type restaurants. I will certainly be back, and look forward to taking my girlfriend to experience Izzy's Cape Verdean flavor. read more

This little place is definitely a must try! Authentic food from Cabo Verde, and such a friendly beautiful staff. I had the cachupa rafugadu with tuna and eggs-- cooked to perfection and the tuna was so juicy. My portion was a little pricey, but large enough for two so worth it. The onions and peppers were the unexpected star of the show. It's family ran, or so it seemed, giving it an even homier feel. Pictures of the islands hang pridefully on the walls; nice to see. The place is bright and clean, all you could ask for! Definitely stop by if you're around, I know i will. read more

The food was okay, the service is awful. We came in and weren't greeted. When we were done eating a larger group came in and then all of a sudden the waitress came up and started clearing our table and was like I'll bring your checked. Started moving a table to the side of us to our table to make a larger table for the other group. Started wiping the table off with us still sitting there. Then when she brought us our check she just placed in on the counter expecting us to grab it ourself. If she had only communicated with us and just asked if we minded going up to the counter to pay it wouldn't have felt as pushed out as we were. read more

My husband and I had visited my brother on the Cape and were leaving for home in North Carolina. Wanted to stop for a breakfast to get us on our way and pulled off the highway into New Bedford. Never been to New Bedford before as I grew up in Wakefield and Melrose, MA. We just drove down a main street and at glimpse, my husband's eye caught Izzy's Restaurant. He quickly asked me if I wanted to try it and not knowing it from anything else, I said, "Sure." We fed the parking meter and walked across the street. Right away we felt at home. I could tell that it was family owned and family run, just by the warmth of the conversations, including conversations in the family language. It felt similar to my Italian upbringing. Our waitress was a real sweetheart. She shared with us how she has been in America for four years now and has become an American citizen. I could see the pride in her face and in her voice. She treated us like guests in her own home. I liked the way another female relative who had been called to cook that day (July 2, 2013) had a warm conversation with two women who must frequent the restaurant. They seemed to know one another. It was nice. Our food was home cooking, very, very good. I am a real coffee drinker and I don't usually drink my coffee all the way down to nothing (I don't know why - because after a few cups, I've had enough), but this coffee was some of the most delicious coffee I have ever had and I drank it down, every drop! I can't seem to forget the pleasant visit to Izzy"s and if I didn't live so darned far away from it, you can believe that I would be there often. Thanks for the good experience! Judy M. read more

The Painkiller is fantastic, especially if you add caramel. The Epic Vanilla Skooma is dangerously addictive - the flavor profile is incredible, and honestly nobody else in the area comes close. The Buzz is another excellent choice. The food is just as impressive. Their linguica and cheese rolls are leagues above the competition, and I'd put them alongside the very best around. I highly recommend ordering a regular cheese roll leveled up with egg, bacon, and their house-made hot sauce. If you enjoy a Portuguese style hot sauce, this combination is absolutely worth trying - you will not be disappointed. The peanut butter cookie is unreal; I genuinely wish I had the recipe. The baked goods are consistently excellent, and whenever they have a special, just order it. I've rarely been disappointed by anything they've made. I used to live nearby and honestly miss having this place around. Their pizzas deserve recognition too. They're some of my favorite bar style pizzas in the area. If you prefer an ultra thin pizza, you might lean toward Dipper Cafe, but it's hard to beat The Meatball Thing, the Thanksgiving pizza during the holidays, and many of their other specialty pies. The atmosphere adds even more to the experience. They have arcade style games you can play while you wait, and the music is always great. If you're into King Diamond or heavier music, you'll probably hear something you love. If you live nearby or are just passing through the area, don't skip The Nook. For me - and for everyone I've recommended it to - The Nook easily earns the title of best coffee shop in the area.

It's perhaps a tad too small inside, but that's what makes it a nook. Lots of hot and iced coffee options, food is quality over quantity: get their signature cheese or linguica roll as-is or "leveled up" to make it an egg sandwich because it's the best around. And their focaccias are made like a pizza and imo are better than their actual pizza! Ok that's a paragraph!

I was so excited to try this place for brunch. We picked up our bibs for the New Bedford half…read moremarathon and then went here immediately after. It was around 11 AM. We will probably seated by the hostess and provided menus. I asked if they had any brunch specials in the waitress let me know that there were some issues with the kitchen and that they wouldn't be serving brunch, only lunch. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. We are never around this area and I finally got to try this place and unfortunately, I opted to walk out. It was cute inside and smelled good. The drink list looked decent. Read it based on my interaction with the hostess, the waitress and how she handled the situation. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to try anything.

They changed their menu!!!! Now its the same bar food every other place in town serves. Super sad.read more

The parking lot wasn't full. We were seated right away. Our waitress Bethany greeted us and took our drink orders and food orders. We both got coffees. My companion chose a special that came both with toast and waffles along with eggs homefries and breakfast meat. I opted for the Lobster Benedict. When the food came and there was a nice hearty portion we dove right in. When I tell you it was the best Lobster Benedict I've ever had I'm not exaggerating. We had a low ketchup on our table, I grabbed one from another table and let Bethany know. She thanked me. She was there when we needed her coffee or water. My companion's plate filled her up and she was happy also. Of course we decided that another visit back is certainly in our plans. If you read this and decide to go make sure Bethany takes care of you. It felt like home with her service and kind way.

Visited recently for lunch, and the experience was fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious--an absolute must-try for Cape Verdean cuisine. The place had a warm, inviting atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff. I had the linguiça and cheese omelette, and it was exceptional. Highly recommend! read more

It was meat-forward but the banana peppers had a helpful cameo appearance. The server was correct in emphasizing the merits of the Portuguese beans. I don't know much about the ingredients but it had some spices and I believe linguica.

I know it sounds minor or picky but for a cafe or diner I would think it would be a must to not to have to ask for refills of coffee and request my check. And it wasn't busy at all maybe 6 people with 2 waitstaff. Parking was a little awkward due to snow piles in the parking spots on the street. I would have given it 3 1/2 stars but not option.

My only suggestion would be to serve it with a spoon so you can mix the cider into the Prosecco a little more. I ordered the Eggs Benedict Mozambique and it was really good. The flavors were amazing, although I do wish there was a little more sauce. My friend got the chouriço and cheese roll, split and toasted on the grill, and it looked just as good. We also grabbed two coffees to go and tried the pumpkin fluff special. Both coffees were delicious and honestly didn't even need any added sweetener. The restaurant itself is really cute and has a cozy feel. Parking isn't the easiest, so just be prepared for that. The bathrooms were okay, but I'd give them about a 3/5. Our waitress was very attentive in the beginning, and I think she could tell we were there to catch up and weren't in any rush, which I appreciated. There's also some outdoor seating, which looked really cute on the cobblestone street. It was wet and a little too early for us to sit outside, but I could definitely see myself enjoying it another time. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Tia Mariah and will be back to try more of the menu!

The Azorean Bitoque is a must if you're into spice; the sauce and the peppers are stunning.

I can't imagine who gets the larger one but that's probably someone worth following on Yelp. Maybe the pastel de nata latte was overkill but I did it for the gram.

And something happened that has never happened to me before in a restaurant- I ordered the egg scramble with spinach, tomato and American cheese. When the food dropped the cheese wasn't added, but no big deal. About 5 minutes later Angela brought over a huge plate of scrambled eggs, spinach, tomato and American cheese! The chef realized he forgot the cheese, took it upon themselves to make a new order correctly! Who does that?! The coffee was delish, ambiance is comfy and so clean, service was great which made our breakfast so much better! Excited about a new breakfast place in Achushnet!
