Outside has plenty of tables that wrap from the front of the shop around this side. This is high-level, social media friendly decor. Service was good overall. Coffee service was very quick. But breakfast sandwich orders were going to take 45 minutes. Raise eyebrows for sure. Looking back they set the bar low. It maybe took 20 minutes. But know that on a gorgeous summer morning, it might take a minute to get your breakfast sandwiches. The food was very good. The BEACH sandwich was tasty and filling. The iced coffee was very good as well. The fresh baked goods looked amazing. Overall, Harborview Market is highly recommended. It's a place that looks like you want to love it - if that makes sense. But it is a great spot. Off hours might be the smart approach as this place (rightfully) gets packed.

Parking is street parking only, so be prepared for that. The biggest downside was the service timing. We felt a bit rushed to place our order, but then waited about 45 minutes for the food to arrive. When it finally came out, the food was cold. The flavors were actually really good, and you could tell the food had potential, but it definitely would have been much better served warm. Overall, it's a cute place with a nice vibe, but the long wait and cold food made the experience a little disappointing.

If you do not like seeds in your lemonade, do not get it. I don't mind, I like having to bite the little seeds lol. It was an alright lemonade, but definitely wouldn't get again for $6. There is seating in the establishment and everyone is incredibly kind. This is a place I'd say gives a community vibe, and through their actions it shows that they care about their customers. Would definitely come again!

Firstly, I have no idea who the Parkers are - let alone where they live, but whoever/wherever they are big fist bump on their rolls. What makes them so good? Butter. Just a little butter to crisp up the roll elevates these breakfast sandwiches. 5-start effort. The ok- service was friendly and helpful but took longer than I thought - especially based on the customer volume. Looked like a lot of hands in the kitchen but not super efficient back there. It wasn't a long wait- just a bit longer than I thought it should be for two breakfast sammies. It's a small spot. Clean, bright, some flavor. It was too nice out to eat inside. The yellow jackets thought so too. I had a few bites and left b/c I didn't want to deal with them. Overall, I'll be back. Fantastic breakfast sandwiches and looking forward to trying more things. I hadn't been to Black Rock in decades - love to see so many interesting looking spots open.

The sweet potato pancakes were warm & fluffy with just the right amount of cinnamon and the Vegan Brunch was substantial, coming with two sides of vegan sausage and bacon.

The only reason I would remove a star is the service.

On a positive note, the owner came out to introduce herself, and she was absolutely lovely. She shared a bit about how she and her husband started the restaurant, which gave the place a really warm, personal touch. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the food, but I hope the hostess and waitstaff can be a bit more attentive in the future. The menu is also extensive and has a lot of options!

The concept is great. The interior is very upbeat and inviting, the owner extremely nice. There is never enough baked items, even if I come early in the morning. The breakfast and lunch menu is interesting and different. It could be great. However, there is a food warmer that houses the hot items. That is very unappetizing to me. Several items I purchased were totally dried out by the time I ordered them. I realize this is a new business, but there is not enough help. The older ladies do a fantastic job, however, several times when I purchased food there were two young girls. They were much too loud and their finished product mediocre at best. They were not focused on what they were doing, running to different things. This doesn't make for good business. Another issue was where all the baked items are in jars, it is usually dirty with a dried pot of chocolate for dipping that is not covered and the area just a mess. I wish all new businesses all the best. Hopefully this one will iron out all the shortcomings. I still go there, but I usually see who is preparing items in front before I go into it. read more

I bought a Seeded Semolina bread, a Rosemary Focaccia, a Demi Baguette, chocolate chip cookies, an almond croissant and cheese monkey bread. I'll start with the most positive. The bread was terrific. My whole family loved it. It was fresh. Crusty in the right way. There were household requests for repeat purchases, and I had to say, "Don't get ahead of yourselves, they're too far away for normal shopping." I didn't eat the almond croissant or the cheese monkey bread until the next day. So I can't fairly judge them. The croissant was still pretty tasty. The cookie was fine. My wife and I both had one the day we bought it. We've had a lot of top tier cookies this year. I can't put this cookie in that category. The texture wasn't as enjoyable. It was a harder cookie than I like. It had less chocolate. The salt content wasn't where I like it. So we loved the bread. And would buy it again. We'd skip the cookie. 4.5 Stars

Small parking lot shared with multiple other businesses, but was able to find a spot. I was greeted seconds after entering, asking what I wanted, but as this was my first time here I wanted time to look around. Other than a party of 4 who were seated inside, no other customers were around. I had no idea they made pizza, and I took a suggested sample to try. Outstanding. Still looking and deciding, I was again asked if I was ready. I did know I wanted a sourdough baguette. OK. Packed. I asked about the Parisian sandwich (all the sandwiches are pre made and disayed in the case), to be sure Jambon de Paris was used. The staff had NO clue what I was talking about, and rudely proclaimed "it's ham". Yes, I am aware its ham, but if it is not Jambon de Paris I want to know so I can chose something else. Luckily, the manager or owner overheard and confirmed it was Jambon de Paris. Staff began ringing my items when I indicated that I still wanted 2 more items. Sigh and eyeroll. There was no one else in line or waiting to order. All items were expensive and no receipt was provided which I did not realize till I got home. The sandwich was good, but needed more Jambon de Paris. The tarragon mustard gave a nice flavor, while the butter provided a smooth texture to compliment the crunchiness of the bread. The sourdough bread and the filled croissants were both delicious, but also quite pricey. Sandwiches are not made or order, there is no pricing on many of the items that I could see, this is a location with lots of traffic and not much parking. On top of all of that, feeling rushed and completely disrespected as a paying customer doesn't make me want to return or recommend. You only get one chance to make a good first impression.
