Several friends had recommended Good Friends Cafe for breakfast, particularly because we had a…read moregluten-free friend with us, and we were told their gluten-free selection is quite large. All the road work going on MA 28 was also incentive, as we could get there without traveling on it from where we were staying. We were also told several times to get their grilled breads (if you weren't gluten-free, of course). The complimentary coffee in the waiting area was a nice tough as well. It certainly lived up to the recommendations. We had maybe a 3 minute wait for a table on a busy Friday morning. There were lots of specials on the blackboards on the side wall. Coffee came out quickly; it was piping hot and mellow, with very frequent refills. I did try the bread, an apple-cranberry, grilled/toasted medium with a pat of butter for extra yum. I opted for the hash Benedict with fruit instead of potatoes. I got potatoes by mistake anyway, but they immediately brought over the fruit. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the Hollandaise was flavorful, and the hash was crisp and not greasy at all. Now it's my turn to be a good friend and pass the recommendations forward for others.

We started with the Crispy Point Judith Calamari, perfectly fried with bright pickled peppers and a great lemon aioli. So tasty.

I ordered the Maine Lobster Ravioli with butternut squash purée and tarragon Newburg sauce, and it was rich, balanced, and delicious. A gorgeous setting, memorable dishes, and genuinely kind service.

They have an interesting menu, including chicken and waffles and biscuits and gravy. I will say that the biscuits and gravy is good, but I have finally found better on Cape Cod. That said I will always hit Ruggies at least once during our stay. They have several open-faced sandwiches that sort of amount to breakfast bowls. I got one that had eggs, meat and cheese over a biscuit all covered with their gravy. They also have some options with cheese sauce. Maybe this is a good time to note that this is vacation eating and I just don't know if they have healthier options on the menu!

Great food, a perfect setting, friendly service, fair prices, and an owner who clearly cares about the customers and the experience. The food was excellent and cooked to perfection. Everything came out fresh, hot, and exactly the way it should. You can tell this is not some rushed breakfast place just pushing plates out. They take pride in what they serve, and it shows from the first bite. The staff was awesome. Friendly, attentive, welcoming, and on top of everything without making you feel rushed. The owner was also so nice, which adds a lot to the overall feel of the place. It has that local, comfortable, well run Cape Cod atmosphere that makes you want to come back. Another big plus is the space. The Breakfast Room is larger than a lot of the other breakfast spots nearby, which makes it much easier to get seated. They also have both indoor and outdoor options, which is perfect depending on the weather and the kind of morning you want. The prices are just right, especially for the quality of the food and the overall experience. Great food, great people, great setting, and a much easier place to get into than some of the smaller nearby breakfast spots. The Breakfast Room is a must visit in West Dennis. This is exactly how a breakfast place should be run.

Go for omelets and their banana bread french toast. Service is nice.

It's more than a coffee shop though, they have basic dry goods, snacks, and sandwich bar. The service is just ok. The servers are working hard, but not so friendly. I know weekends especially bring a big wave of customers and it's a lot to keep up with. The coffee is ok, not great.

They were out of two different breads at 1:30 p.m. I ordered a sandwich on toasted bread. It came on untoasted, soggy bread. A simple request ... I even pointed out another sandwich when ordering 'just like that'. The cold cuts were nothing special. Cut a little too thick ... real good delis slice thin and pile on the bread. This was 3 thicker pieces of meat ... bland. No spices. The guacamole was an absolute joke. It was literally a green stain on the bread. It wasn't guacamole. It was literally like green paint. I've never seen anything like this before. I have had sandwiches with a thicker layer of mustard than this 'guacamole'. The bacon was a little rubbery and not crisp. Tasted like pre-packaged bacon. The bread was bland ... cold cuts were bland ... the only part of the sandwich which had flavour was the very spicy mayo. If you don't like hot things ... be prepared. It had a very hot pepper taste. I was surprised as that's not how the sandwich was described on the board. The store itself was staffed with tons of college kids. Attention to detail/perfection was not their forte. Nor was friendliness. The bar in the back was unstaffed i asked how to get a drink and they said you could order one. Tough to do with no bartender. I will skip this place if back in Harwichport.
