Since my favorite meal, as you may know by now, if you've been reading my reviews breakfast, then the idea that I can get breakfast all day here it's just another very attractive feature of this restaurant! I had a delicious fresh waffle with berry compote and blueberries and strawberries topped with whipped cream. It is served with what they call a house syrup, which is essentially a maple syrup wannabe. They offer the option of real maple syrup for an additional charge. I opted for the authentic item. The waffle was delicious flavorful and made even better because of the true maple syrup! The up charge was $1.75. I also had a very spicy bloody Mary, which is my favorite breakfast cocktail. It was served with a strip of crispy, maple bacon and was quite delicious. This place is not cheap, but nothing is inexpensive these days. The total meal cost $28.41 plus a 20% tip. I we'll go there again. I will try something from their lunch menu the next time and will of course review for all who read my reviews.

There were a few seats open inside the cozy building, but we opted to sit outside on the patio which had a perfect setup with a steady breeze, and shade to prevent from getting overheated in the summer sun. I had a standard bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel while my wife had the breakfast burrito. Both were served quickly and left us full as well as satisfied. The slice of fresh watermelon served on the plate was a welcome surprise. We also had one of the ham and cheese croissants from the counter which we took a single bite out of and decided we needed more for the road. This is a fantastic little cafe, and the fact that it offers on the job experience for students interested in food service is even more reason to visit! We will definitely be returning!

Visited for dinner without reservation after nearby troll trip. Enjoyed the ambience of the…read morerestaurant. It was yakitori night so we started with some chicken and pork belly. Took a while to arrive. The pork belly was exquisitely rendered with beautifully charred skin and tender meat. Lobster roll served warm was very good, the lobster was a little overcooked but still a highlight. Buttermilk Fried Chicken had super crisp skin and was executed and presented perfectly, great tasting together with the accompanied pickled vegetables and hot-honey butter. The best dish of the night. Sticky toffee pudding was as good as advertised: sticky, textured, with interesting mouthfeel offset by lightly whipped cream. Tequila based El Mariachi was tasty and balanced but not memorable.

Ask for your blueberry muffin to be toasted and buttered and prepare to have your mind blown. I've…read moreconsumed my fair share of blueberry muffins, perhaps an inordinate and unhealthy amount, and this was by far the best muffin period I've ever had. There were a number of other things I wanted to try in the pastry display, as well as a wide variety of sandwiches (including a beef tenderloin and a pork), but admittedly, after splitting a muffin, I was kind of tapped out. Weak. The bakery is located right by the beach so perfect for grabbing a sandwich and taking it to go. We had to wait a bit to get our muffin but to be expected for late weekend mornings. Bring cash to avoid a surcharge for CC transactions. There's a parking lot behind the bakery but just a warning that there are signs plastered everywhere that you should only park there if you're a customer and it's NOT for general beach parking. No idea if they tow but I'd err on the side of caution.

I grew up in Boston and went with family to Cape Ann many times. I recently met my cousins for a…read morefew nights and we stopped by this place our hotel recommended. What a mistake. All 3 of us ordered the egg sandwich. It's cooked egg (like a puck) on 2 slices of plain bread with about 1 teaspoon of cheese that is such a small amount that it doesn't cover most of the egg. That's it. Not enough cheese, no butter, no salt, no pepper. Nothing. They don't even toast the bread. If we had tasked our 6 year old nephew to making us egg sandwiches, this is what he would hand us. My cousins had coffee. One hot and the other cold. Hot reportedly is pretty good and the iced is not very strong. I ordered an iced tea. When iced tea is made fresh from actual tea (a good thing), then sits in the fridge for 6 or 7 days (a bad thing), it gets a very distinctive stale taste and that's exactly what this iced tea had. It was old and stale. I threw it away and since the egg sandwich was so dry, I pulled a bottle of water I had in my beach tote to wash it down. My cousin asked the friendly staffer (super friendly, actually, so a shout out to them) for some salt and this turned into a task. She had to ask someone else and that person had to go off somewhere to get some from a plastic container. If you're going to serve unseasoned food, have salt available, please. I ordered a croissant, which was OK and my other cousin ordered a blueberry slab dessert that was smothered in so much icing that it was sickeningly sweet. We joked that eying it from the side, the icing was thicker than the pastry itself. One of us grabbed a knife and tried to scrape some off to no avail. It fell apart, none of us wanted any more and we tossed most of it. I like to support small businesses, but this was not a good experience for us.
