Um YES PLEASE!!!…read more This was a last minute decision to stop when we were on our way back from the farmers market and BOY am I glad we stopped in! Buckroe coffee was one of the best coffee shops I've been to in quite some time, too bad it's on the other side of the water from our house! Walking in you can tell it was once a bank, LOVE older buildings and stories like this! The atmosphere inside was amazing, there were all different types of customers enjoying conversation, working, and just enjoying time in their 3rd place. I ordered a blended mocha frappe. PERFECT on the hot day! My daughter ordered a lemon & white chocolate latte and it was one of the best she has had (and like her mother, she does love her coffee and is VERY picky) My husband went the non coffee route and ordered a Mango smoothie and found it refreshing and finished it in the car on the way home. If you are on the hampton side of the water I highly recommend you stopping at Buckroe coffee. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait to head back up to the farmers market so I can stop here again on the way home :)

Decided to finally try out Buckroe Coffee after a long trail walk. What a pleasant surprise!…read moreI was welcomed upon entering and the cashier was extremely helpful with what to choose for my first visit. I substituted oat milk in my crème brûlée latte and it was a great substitution without changing the taste of the drink. Not too sweet. My breakfast sandwich was nice and flavorful. Croissant crispy and light, cheese nicely melted. I would have liked my bacon consistently crispy but it didn't take away from the quality or taste at all. Now the açaí bowl...wow! As soon as I lifted the lid, I could smell the fresh fruits. It was a great balance of fresh ingredients. This was my favorite item. Great value for the price and I can't speak enough on the freshness of the ingredients. 100% returning!!

The jelly donuts are overfilled that when biting in, your mouth is full of this nasty tasting goop of so called blueberry filling and barely taste the donut itself. Smuckers jelly tastes better smh! The crème-filled aren't any better. The cream is so sugary, it just makes it hard to eat them. I won't be going back here. Donuts are nasty!

A bit of a sugar overload but I knew that going in. Peanut butter, honey, banana slices, and Nutella; panini-grilled. Amazingly, it did not drip as I ate it. There was plenty of each ingredient but just enough so it didn't leak out. The Firecracker latte was chocolatey with plenty of coffee taste! Customers trickled in the entire time and I even had some conversation because I'd seen the person at the nearby American Theatre. Front and rear entrances and concrete floors make it not super cozy, but the friendly ambiance and terrific food and drink make Scratch Bakery a real treasure.

I havent been here for awhile and I didn't know about the little bakery market next door. There I…read morepicked up some of Phillips famous cupcakes always a treat. Now the restaurant service left much to be desired. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable but scarce. After at least 15 minutes she finally approached the table saying she thought we wanted to catch up. How nice. But we are here to eat lunch. Here's a tip. If I say please give us some time to chat then come back in 15 minutes, THEN do that. My eggs and grits bowl was good and the turkey sausage patties were inedible. Also for some reason they always serve a mix of sweet and white potatoes. I do not eat sweet potatoes ever. Dana I beg you stop putting them in everything from soup to entrees. The salad bowl is an odd shape and difficult to manage. No place to set a utensil on the lip. The vibe is industrial cool and very spacious. More attentive service and some food changes would be better.

I have been to their other location near Queens Street years ago and enjoyed the food . I find…read moremyself on Mallory more times than I can count and always past their new location . I decide for a quick beach day and then headed over for a quick bite before work . I had a new worker and she was super nice and helpful with recommendations. The food was a 10 for me . I was tore between Sweet Potato Pancakes and Banana Bread French toast . I always go against the crowd favorite , I want something different . I like to be surprised .. the place was way bigger and I loved the decor. Just perfect not overly done.

This is my second visit in about a year, but my first Yelp review for Laura's Rise and Shine…read more What I will say is our first and today's visit were solid 4 1/2 stars visits but I'll round up to 5. Our meals today were really good. Mine was the Skillet. Which was very filling and really good. The wifey had the omelette, which she tells me she liked. The best way to describe the meals is as close to home as you can get. Again the Skillet was a large amount of food. Be hungry if you order it. Our server was very nice and checked on us several times during our stay. This a cute place in a strip mall. So I again this was our second time here. Sadly I can't remember what we ate a year ago but it was good enough for us to remember it and come on back in. So an absolutely recommend this place for your breakfast meal. I assuming other meals are just as good. So go on in and if you have something different- share with us. Oh don't forget this is a CASH ONLY place.

We left to run errand, came back sat down and same thing again nobody acknowledged us which is insane because waitresses kept walking near us helping other tables & we made eye contact hella times! Smh i was ready to spend money money but nobody wanted it i suppose smfh sad hopefully they tighten up!! Cause i had a large party thinking of coming soon but now idk

Let me start by saying if I had to choose between this place or a busy bbq spot who makes their own…read moreeverything, I would not choose this place. The drinks are too sweet and taste like straight sugar, bbq is okay (they offer only one sauce), and their sides are just okay. The service, however, was top notch. Our server was Colton (I think?) and he was the life of the party. He made our whole experience phenomenal. We all ordered off the happy hour menu, but I guess there's no buttons for the happy hour pieces, so he just tried to discount our food the best he could. We think it all came out okay, but didn't love not knowing. If you offer happy hour, honor the happy hour pricing with proper buttons. Basically, this place just feels like a restaurant that isn't prepared for customers, which is odd. I don't know how well restaurants in this area do, as this is the third restaurant in that exact location within 10 years. Maybe that's normal, idk. Overall, I would go again if all my friends were going, but I wouldn't recommend it.

They were good, I just wish they had what I wanted.

They also were out of garlic knots. I had the cobbler salad with chicken, and it was pretty good but it was also about $20.

Pizza was excellent - and I'll be getting one if we go back.

Sat down and the waitress took a while to get to us but no big deal. She came and gave us these paper menus that can use a new batch printed. She got us our waters and dint see her for a bit again. Got our orders in and again, didn't see her again. All she kept doing was socializing with the other waitress and standing around. Got our food and I ordered biscuits and gravy with sunny side eggs. My biscuits and gravy were cold so I called the young lady over and told her. She asked do you want it reheated or done over... really? Done over. I saw when she took it back her and a few other waitresses just looked at the food giggled and looked at the plate. Food came back and the eggs weren't done and the gravy was so salty that it felt like I swallowed ocean water. At this point I was done and didn't even eat it. She or the manager didn't come over to apologize or say anything about it. Service/waitress- horrible Food- Would never recommend this restaurant let alone the food. Not worth the money. Especially for a waitress that just wanted to talk to her co-workers instead of attend to her table. First and last time I'll ever go there. People also said it's not worth it, I should've listened! I would say the outside ambiance was nice and the corner bookshelf and chairs.
