We've been loyal customers of The Big Bean in Newmarket for a long time, but I felt it was finally…read moretime to share an honest review, because the place just isn't what it used to be. We've gone there for lunch almost every week, and lately, the experience has really declined. The staff rarely seem happy or welcoming anymore -- there's very little warmth or friendliness. Dishes are tossed into bins so loudly as if the waitstaff don't care about the guest experience! The sound is so jarring that it really takes away from enjoying the meal you work hard to pay for. Also, more than once I've overheard kitchen staff loudly telling each other grumpy things like to "shut up," which isn't exactly the vibe you want over breakfast. The only time the waitstaff really engage with a forced smile is when they drop off the check. On top of that, orders are often wrong, toast and home fries come out burnt, and the coffee on my last visit was barely lukewarm. Whatever happened to simple caring and kindness? Lately, it feels like customer experience isn't at the heart of things anymore at the Big Bean -- and when that slips, everything else eventually does too. The atmosphere has completely changed too. It used to feel fun, lively, and full of character -- now it just feels tired. The walls and beams are chipped, the floors sticky, the tables are wobbly, and the wonderful artwork of locals that gave the place charm is gone too. It's like the energy has been drained out of the building. I used to look forward to going there every week, but now it feels like we're inconveniencing the employees just by showing up. It's sad to see such a great local spot lose its spark.

Looking for a breakfast in the Berwick/Somersworth area this looked the most promising. Rave…read morereviews along with a menu that has classic dishes but also showcases unique dishes from around the world. They have repurposed an old railroad station building that brings a unique charm to your breakfast/lunch. My wife and I both appreciated the overall vibes! We had free range of selecting a table and service was friendly and quick with zero complaints. Like I said they have plenty of common dishes you'd expect like French toast, omelettes, Benedict's and more. Alongside their menu they include weekly specials and these were the dishes that really caught my eye for their uniqueness! During our stop they had Congee (think Chinese rice porridge), Hong Kong Waffle, and lastly Shanghai Omelette. I went with the omelette that had Chinese sausage, carrots, onions with a Chinese bbq sauce and some other finishing touches with a side of rice and wonton instead of toast. Was such a unique dish but tasted phenomenal, glad I got to try it! My wife then went with their Carnitas Omelette with a few substitutions to avoid any heat but was blown away by it. She had never really thought about having carnitas for breakfast but enjoyed every bite. The hollindaise sauce on top was the perfect touch! If you find yourself in this area I highly recommend checking out this spot! Fantastic vibes with friendly and quick staff with delicious and inventive dishes showcasing a variety of cuisines from all over the world. A great spot to open your mind to new food ideas!

The staff was friendly and the coffee was pretty good. I ordered coco loco french toast (french toast with toasted coconut and whipped cream) and i loved that it was the drier style rather than custard. It was very good and I didn't need syrup at all. I also ordered a side of bacon. For me it was 3 and a half stars. Hubs had pancakes with eggs and sausage. He said the pancakes had no flavor and I tasted them and had to agree. His eggs were fine and sausage ok. So for him it was three stars. We decided to go with 3 total stars on this one because if you're going to call yourself a breakfast place you need to nail the pancakes. Overall not bad and not great. Would give it another try if I was in the area.

I ordered the loaded sausage omeletee ($14.99). This came with choice of home fries or beans (I opted for the home fries) and toast (I opted for rye). This arrived w/in 5 minutes of ordering. The portion size seemed reasonable, and everything tasted simple, savory, and homely. I would ask for nothing more at a quiet neighborhood diner (and one attached to a convenience store, at that). Service proved pleasant, with coffee proactively topped up. The waitress offered to fill up a to-go cup of coffee at no extra cost as I settled the bill . As an aside, one of the parties waiting for a table came straight from the Sig store & range. I imagine that events or competitions there would lead to a surge of patrons.

I ordered a hot 12oz Mocha, with a breakfast sandwich with the choice of bacon and a fluffy English Muffin. And I was absolutely blown away at the flavor of this breakfast sandwich.. the egg was cooked just enough to allow for a runny yolk, with a creamy aioli that perfectly combines with the crispy, bacon and the salty melted slice of cheddar cheese. I did not feel any need to add any more salt or pepper, as the entire sandwich was made to perfection. Truly an underrated gem of a cafe in New Hampshire.
