    Window seat!

    I had a lovely breakfast here on a Friday morning. The cafe was buzzing, but not totally full. I got a spot by the window which gave me enough space to enjoy my tea, eggs, and toast. I found the other patrons to be incredibly kind and friendly. I thought the fog tea was delightful! I left with a couple pastries - they had many options to choose from. There is 1 hour street parking outside.

    This spot has such a homey feel. They have a diverse selection of baked goods, lunch foods, and prepared foods. Their seasonal flavors for their coffees are really tasty! They have a good amount of seating with the counter along the windows.

    Staff is kind and welcoming and the Menu is creative and delicious! The baked goods were also creative flavors and well made. The puff pastry of the hand pie is to die for. The sandwich and sweets were good too!

    Lots of points for aesthetic- it's very cute in there with tons handmade local items (there was a flower shop pop up happening while I was there!). Friendly, fast service. They have a pretty extensive menu with desserts and savory foods as well as seasonal coffee specials. I got a turmeric chai (yummy) and a gf chocolate chunk scone (needed some help). Seems like it would be an awesome place to hang out with friends or so some work!

    PSL to go!

    So nice, I went twice in one weekend! Not to be dramatic, but their Pumpkin Spice Latte will change your life! Not the garbage 'pie spice' you get from other coffee shops, made with real pumpkin, this has a deep real-pumpkin flavor with a dash of pie spice making for the perfect fall beverage! A friend had recommended it and I went in last Saturday and was so blown away, I met another friend there on Sunday! She is not a big pumpkin fan and even agreed how incredible this was! We both ordered avocado toast to go with it and that was delicious as well! The staff here is so kind and helpful. We sat for a while and caught up and it was such a great vibe there.

    Yummy vegan nut cookie made w avocado !  A healthy treat.  Thank you to the cook.

    10/10. Quick service and very hearty breakfast for an affordable price. Delicious americano. Will definitely be back. Couldn't be better.

    I visited on a weekday afternoon and struggled to find a seat, or really even navigate the slightly cramped space. I got the turkey sandwich. It was double decker, which made it difficult to eat, threw off the bread to filling ratio, and I didn't like the separation between the wetter slaw and the much drier meat/cheese fillings. On top of it, I disliked the strong dressing on the slaw. I was pretty hungry but struggled to get through one half of the sandwich, and just threw away the other half. I also got a chai latte that was basically hot milky water with cinnamon, but that's essentially average anyways. It's clearly a popular and well-loved cafe, but I struggled to see why on this visit.

    Great coffee! This is a super cute and great spot for a quick bite and coffee. My boyfriend and I stopped by to grab a light snack and coffee after a nice walk around the plaza. They have seasonal drinks so I got the peppermint mocha and my bf got an herbal tea since he doesn't drink anything with caffeine. We also grabbed some delicious apple scones. Everything was delicious! The mocha was perfect! And the scones were super yummy and nice and crumbly. We will definitely be back!

    I like the interior of this place. The employees here are very helpful and they're always smiling. I was really looking forward to the almond croissant as that's one's if my favorite pastries but this had a weird after taste that I disliked. I'm not an early bird so I love that this place closes late.

The girl who took my order didn't really give us a chance to look at the menu, stared, and rushed me when I was speaking which threw me off a bit. They also serve you through a window (looks like a makeshift drive-thru, or "walk-thru") which is cool, but I noticed the same girl was getting easily annoyed when customers weren't quick to receive their order. She also made my coffee in a unique way which really surprised me. They have a giant jug of iced coffee that they keep in the bottom cabinet, instead of having drip or brew. The coffee itself was pretty decent, though. My ham and cheese crepe was okay but there was not enough ham or cheese, it was mostly just egg. My friend's portion was also small but the food was good. I think I would give it another shot.

    The signage is weak. The only sign is a decal on the window. I drove past it a couple of times…read morebefore I found it. Don't blink or you will miss it. I don't know how they get any traffic with the sign they have. It was cold inside. Time to turn on the heat. The Spot has a counter in back with a few bakery items. There were eight tables in front. The walls were filled with eclectic items. They have a woman that waits on the tables, provides menu and serves. She spends all her time behind the counter rather than waiting on tables. I ordered a Sara's omelette that includes three vegetables and 3 eggs. I chose spinach, mushroom and broccoli. I had fruit cup of melon, pineapple, cantaloupe and strawberries in lieu of toast and hash browns. The omelet was very good with lots of veggies inside. The fruit cup was on the small size but it beats additional carbs. I had to wait for my bill. I think they forgot about me. I finally had to get up and ask for bill. I would have to try again before I would pass judgement.

    Finally visited this cute neighborhood "Spot" with my husband…read more We were surprised when we entered, the inside looks larger and cozier than we expected. It wasn't too busy - there are 6ish tables and one server was waiting tables. She was very warm and friendly. I ordered two eggs over easy and my husband got an omelet. The food was decent, and prices are so affordable. However the potatoes were very bland and hard, and portion was small. Also they had forgotten the potatoes in my order although it comes with the meal but I mentioned it and it was corrected. We also ordered the Belgian waffle to share which definitely isn't "Belgian" style but it was good! Overall decent, I'd come again just for the cozy, warm vibe. I'm interested in trying their lunch menu next!

    Wilson's Diner offers plenty of very tasty breakfast and lunch options in a very casual ambiance…read more However, the real reason to check it out is the opportunity to eat a meal in a historic railcar diner that's been around since 1946. The perfectly preserved railcar diner (even down to the original refrigerator and clock on the wall) is only one of a few dozen still operating as a diner out of the hundreds that built by the Worcester Lunch Car Co. in the 1940s and 1950s. Maria Kitidis Mackay and her father George bought the diner in January 2020 and one or both of them are usually working the griddle daily.. as they were when I recently visited. I recently stopped in for breakfast two days in a row while visiting friends in Concord and the food was excellent both times. On my first visit, I had the two-egg platter ($8) with a unique Greek loukaniko sausage (+$7). The next day, I had the same platter with traditional pork sausage links (+$3). Both platters came with home fries and toast, and everything was incredibly fresh, hot, and really tasty. My dining companion also thoroughly enjoyed her meals and the classic diner ambiance. She tried the Florentine benedict ($14), which came topped with perfectly sautéed spinach and tomato, and on the next visit went with the spinach and feta omelet ($13). Our servers stopped by a few times to ensure everything was good. The only minor disappointment we experienced was that our servers didn't offer to refill our coffee, but otherwise, it was a fantastic visit. Maybe I should have asked? It is a terrific experience all around. Highly recommend checking this place out if you want great food, unique history, and a classic diner atmosphere! Even taking away a 1/2 star for our coffee snafu, it's still a solid 4.5 stars for the overall experience -- rounded up to 5 stars. PRO TIP: Bring cash. Wilson's does not accept credit cards.

    I was in town visiting family, and stumbled onto this really cute old fashioned railroad style…read morediner! They have a free parking lot but there is also street parking available. Cash only! Items are on the pricier side. They mainly serve breakfast and lunch items. We opted for breakfast: -- House Special Omelet $18: was meh. The omelet was ok, and came with toast of your choice, and a generous portion of home fries. I'd order something else next time. -- Corned Beef Hash Benedict $18: this was great! Very satisfying and recommended! This also came with a very generous side of home fries. -- Side of bacon $4/3 strips: we asked for extra crispy bacon and that's exactly what we got. Sooo good! -- Coffee $3: decent coffee with free refills. Great customer service. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Recommended!!

    Came here with my family for a little pick me up after shopping on a gorgeous day…read more We had the biscuits, the fried chicken slider, the tuna tartare, Mac and cheese, oysters, and cocktail shrimp. Highlights. My favorite is probably the tartare, the flavor was perfectly balanced, the cracker was unfortunately stale, and the tuna itself could have been a little fresher. My kids had the Mac and cheese which they said was ok, and enjoyed the sliders. The oysters were good, but the shrimp did not taste fresh and were very bland like it's been soaked in water. The biscuits were tasty but I wish it was a little hotter so it would be more fluffy. I had a spicy tequila drink I forgot what it was called but the bartender did a really good job on it. The server really lacked personality and I wish was a little more attentive to provide us a good experience. I have this place 4 stars because the place is very cute and is a really good fit for the location, as a local, this can easily become a regular spot for myself and friends and it really has the potential to be this! I think it just needs good ambiance and energy and more attentive from the food quality going out? I hope to see good things happen to this place so I plan to come back and try again but maybe drinks with friends next time!

Then as our food came out, it was slow to arrive at the table, so nothing was served together. The biscuits and gravy were dry with not a lot of gravy so we ordered extra gravy and that didn't come to the table until the end of our meal. The gravy was crap. Everything needed salt. On top of the food that showed up being gross, the French toast never showed up until after everyone was finished. They took off half of our meal, but I would not recommend.
