I do not go out for breakfast often, but I did and chose this place that I drive by all the time and think "That looks like a place to try." It was so much cuter and quainter than I expected given the location. I initially thought that I would get an eggs Benedict variation, but when I saw the "Apple Blueberry Crumb French Toast" I had to try it. Delicious! I will return. The staff was very nice and clearly have some regulars, but didn't treat me poorly as a newbie. read more

This restaurant is close to work and sometimes when I am feeling a breakfast, I drive down and get be a BIG breakfast. It has all my favorite and I am full the whole day. Recently we had a lunch meeting at the restaurant. Our party was a bit large so we were seated outside which was nice on a beautiful day. The waitress was nice and friendly. She got our drinks and took our orders. It took awhile to get the food but it seems like it was busy inside. We understood she was trying her best to keep up and we didn't mind the wait. I got a turkey club and it was so good. I love me a simple meal. The fries was good but one of my coworkers did say his was cold. Also I did ask for ketchup but never got it. But didn't want to bother her too much. Overall it was good lunch but I rather get take out. read more

I've driven thru Connecticut on road trips for over 25 years and each time I try to find a good breakfast place to stop at. I've found good, ok and not so good. Today, I found great. The menu variety, the food quality, the level of service (friendly yet speedy), the spaciousness, the cleanliness...I love this place. The Oscar benedict was outstanding. The search is over. This is the best breakfast in Connecticut and ill be back next month. My one pro tip: bring a hoodie. It's cold inside! read more

Pleasantly surprised by the nice presentation. Menu has standard breakfast items with some specials that sounded very good as well. Wait staff was very friendly. Plenty of parking and a nice little outdoor area to sit as well. Inside can be a little loud / echoey when full. Food was definitely good. Would return! read more

Everything about this diner is amazing! Great food, service, and hospitality. They were able to seat my party of 5 quickly during a busy brunch hour. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with the cutest fall decor, definitely loved that touch. I have been thinking about this Benedict and wanting to go back! Note: there is a parking lot! read more

WOW! What a great spot for breakfast! I'm never this direction but this I know. If I'm ever this area again this is where I would come for a good breakfast. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. Everything that came out of the kitchen just looked so good! I came hungry so I definitely had a nice feast. I like a balance of salty and sweet. I ordered an egg white western omelette with wheat toast. I had to try their lemon ricotta pancakes. Everything was delicious! I did share the pancakes because I ordered a single but a stack came out. When we arrived it was about 1:30 and they were going to close for 2 but they did not rush us or feel like we were holding them back. I would love to come here again to try more options but I think I might order the same thing again but it was just so satisfying. read more

The restaurant is roomy and easy to find, not far off the exit. The food was great - not one thing to complain about! All 3 of us were happy with our meals. The warm grilled veggie wrap with chicken was big and delishly messy! The best part of our experience was our server. She was friendly, quick and knew the menu well, so she was able to answer our questions and make helpful suggestions. Kudos, Lisa! read more

My wife and I came here to get some breakfast. She got the Cajun Shrimp omelette. I got the bacon egg and cheese. Both dishes were incredible!! Super fresh and super hot. Melty - cheesy - tasty! The resturaunt is super clean, a lot of seating and very sunny. Located in a wonderful location in North Haven. A lot of indoor and outdoor seating. Waitresses very nice and timely. The one thing I think was missing was a constant topping off of the water and the coffee. I didn't receive any refills. In these situations you want a waitress to continue to refill every few minutes without asking. Overall will absolutely eat there again and loved it. read more

My fav place in North Haven! They always get my eggs right, and they pay attention to detail! The sausage links are amazing and the grits... for this southern gal... grits are a must and they are creamy and delish! The pumpkin streusel muffin with cinnamon muffin? Forgetaboutit!! It's divine!!! Hubby loved the California Benedict!! The service is perfect... so friendly, personable, and welcoming! I love the deep brown and creamy taupe walls, the French signage, and the touches of country roosters here and there! Even the tables are thoughtfully place, as well as outdoor tables when the weather is nice! There's also counter service and the employees are always keeping busy back there! Can't wait to come back!! read more

I just have to write this review because the service we got here was amazing! Shout out to Karen, she was such a sweetheart! As for food, it was also pretty tasty! There's a bunch of options to choose from for both breakfast and lunch. They have their original menu and also weekly menu with specials. My friends and I got a bunch of different things and we all agree that they were very filling. The portions were huge! They also have a ton of indoor and outdoor seating with the sweetest decor. Definitely a breakfast place to check out (especially considering there's not many in the area). read more

First time, you wait on the honor system. Total wait time was about 25 minutes which was great for a Saturday morning. Service was quick. I ordered the French Toast which was amazing. Really enjoyed the Honey Butter. I also ordered Mama's Corned Beef Hash. I didn't feel it was house made like advertised. It was not what I was expecting, tasted so-so and definitely not something I would order again I would go again, there were a few items I want to try. read more

we went to this place for breakfast when we visited JimC.the place was crowded but we were seated right away. I had eggs over easy with corned beef hash. the hash needed to add some potatoes and onions so it would have a more hashy flavor. my eggs were cooked perfectly and the coffee was very good. Chrissy had some giant pancakes with blueberries that she said were absolutely delicious and JimC had the French toast with sausage that he really enjoyed. the places large inside with plenty of room and they also have seating if you want to sit outside. read more

Cozy breakfast spot that hits all the standard check boxes for morning out with the family or catch up with friends. Lots of options on the menu and the servers all extremely nice. Only about a 10 minute wait for 4 of us. Everyone in your party must be there for them to seat you, so be sure to adjust the meeting time for your habitually late friend. Food was ok. Three of us got Mom's hash, which was not as fresh as we were hoping for. The raspberry cheesecake stuffed French made up for it though. I am sure we will be here again! read more

Great spot outside of North Haven. Nothing unusual exactly, just well-made breakfast and lunch. I had the Turkey Club. Not typically much you can do to set this sandwich apart, but this one was great. The bacon was off all sides of the sandwich, giving the turkey a nice salty flavor. Everything came fast and hot. The servers are friendly, and you can tell they enjoy working with each other. Everything I saw come out looked great. I can't wait to come back for breakfast. read more

Today was our first visit to The Breakfast Nook, and we now understand why it's rated the #1 breakfast spot in North Haven! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. This family-run business clearly takes pride in both their food and their hospitality. Our waitress, Maria, was absolutely wonderful--friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the California Benedict, and it was fantastic. The skillet potatoes on the side were crispy and cooked to perfection. My husband went with an omelette, and he loved it just as much. We're already looking forward to our next visit! I have my eye on one of their specialty pancakes--they looked amazing. If you're looking for a great breakfast with delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere, The Breakfast Nook is the place to go! read more

More of a 3.5 but not a 4. Nothing homemade. Food was satisfactory but seasoning was missing. Fine in a pinch but not worth a special trip. read more

Cute cozy family style breakfast spot. Service was friendly and prompt. Food was ehhh... my boyfriend and I both got moms homemade hash. Tasted like mushy baby food. Home fries potatoes lacked in flavor and crispy-ness, mushy as well. The best part was the toast which we both didn't want but the waitress recommended we get it because it's great- she wasn't lying. All in all, nothing to really rave about. read more

We had breakfast today and the food was great. We liked the restaurant but our waitress was not good at all. Our waitress made us feel we were a bother. She took our order, no eye contact, no pleasantries. We had to ask for coffee refills and had to remind her for the real maple syrup I asked for when I ordered my pancakes. She did once stop by to ask how we were doing, again no eye contact, just matter of factly. We're not saying she was mean, but she wasn't pleasant. She did however spend time on her phone at the counter with plenty of customers in the place. Everyone else there was pleasant and cheerful. read more

There should be a greeter at the door. There is a sign that says, "Please wait to be seated". We were waiting for a bit before someone finally came up to us. There should definitely be a greeter at the door. The person who showed us to our seat, could not answer what the "special" coffee flavor of the day was. She had to go back and check. Shouldn't the staff already know what the "specials" of the day are?? At the end of our meal, we asked our server for TWO to go plates. She only brought us ONE to go plate. We then asked a DIFFERENT staff member for another to go plate. She said, "OK". That same server came back to get our payment WITHOUT the to go plate. A THIRD person came up to us and FINALLY gave us our to go plate. The food and atmosphere was great. The staff, not so much. The staff was definitely nice and polite, but incompetent!! Maybe because it was busy when we went, that the staff forgot things?? But even so, when you are working in customer service, you should always stay competent especially during rush hour!! I tip based on service and I was not satisfied with the service here. So I left a rather less than satisfactory tip. read more

It was a Sunday and we wanted brunch. So we pulled up local spots in the area and this place caught our eye re: menu, distance and a parking lot (huge plus). We arrived and were seated immediately outside. It was a warm morning so outdoor dining was perfect. We ordered a few things: apple cinnamon rolls, eggs with toast and an omelette. The flavors were spot on delicious and I love a place that has an awesome specials menu (hint: apple cinnamon rolls were on there, and they did NOT disappoint). Everything was amazing and service was outstanding. There were a few bees who wanted my apple cinnamon rolls but never fear, we won that battle. We shall return!! read more

First meal together with an old friend. I don't know if it was the company or the food but both were wonderful! My dad & I took a day trip to visit my longtime Yelp friend Jim C. We had no plans for the day. We were just winging it. Jim C started us off here with a most delicious breakfast. At least mines was anyways. Perfectly fluffy Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with a Blueberry compote. I polished off every morsel with a side of bacon & coffee. Jim had the French Toast with Sausage, while my Dad had the Mom's Hash with Eggs & Toast. Great choice Jim! Visited on 6-24-2023 read more

The Breafast Nook is like a upscale diner. What like there is they have a lot of nice unique creations. Today I tried their Banana Split French Toast. French toast with fresh strawberries, bananas, pineapple, whip cream, chocolate drizzle, rainbow sprinkles, and a cherry on top. Wow absolutely delicious. My daughter got a bacon,egg, and cheese sandwich on an english muffin.The restaurant was clean, and our waitress was friendly and attentive. Since there were so many good choices on the menu I can't wait to come back again. read more

Our food was awesome! The service from Terri was amazing! We will be back. Our family enjoyed the time and will return.

First time here, but it will not be my last! I want to rave so much about this place. I'll start with the service staff and owner: one nicer and more friendly than the other. The decor is charming, modern and yet country at the same time. So many unusual breakfast specials. I may have to come back a lot to try them all. Today, I got the Cowboy omelet with Muenster cheese. One of the best omelets I've eaten in a long time. Their home fries were extra good. Large pieces of potato with the right amount of crispy texture. And I haven't experienced this ever: one of the toast choices was Italian bread! I got a lemon ricotta muffin to go. Thought I died and gone to breakfast heaven. read more

Found this thanks to Yelpers. PARKING - it's in a little shopping strip mall sort of. Hard to see the name as they have blue stripped tents for outside seating. ENTRANCE - this is a very popular local breakfast place. Only waited a few minutes for the hostess/bus person seated us. AMBIANCE - very cute and quaint rustic county decor. A number of tables but what a waiting line to get in. OMELETTES - very very good. Fresh home fried potatoes are great. Nothing was greasy or overly buttery. Portion sizes were generous. Even the pancake dishes for other tables were large and looked nice from a presentation perspective COFFEE SERVICE - a constant refill by the bus service. No waiting more than 20 seconds WAITRESS - very personable albeit busy beyond belief. Extremely helpful. TURNOVER - you aren't rushed but you'll get your check while still dining. I get it with the long line outside PRICES - extremely reasonable. For 2 people tax included but no tip $29 read more

Great location for an outdoor breakfast, great food. Iced coffee was delish. Omelet was tasty!

Good food, great service , homey ambiance. I highly recommend it. Laid back, diner like.

This place is a cute traditional breakfast spot. Very spacious homey dining area. Staff was very attentive, immediately acknowledged upon arrival and checked up numerous times throughout our visit. I ordered the scramble (broccoli, tomatoes, and feta) with the George's potatoes. The scramble was very good. Vegetables seemed fresh, but the George's hash was too burned for my liking, had to cut off the burned side to enjoy. My husband enjoyed his omelette. Overall good experience. read more

Love the Breakfast Nook. Our food was delicious. We opted for the lemon ricotta pancakes and lemon crumb French toast. The place is always busy but food is also prepared fast so it's never a problem. The menu has a perfect amount of variety so we never have to get the same thing. My only downfall is the wait. It was a long line which is expected and the line went smooth but it's always confusing because they want you to form a line but nothing mentions that and everyone is so focused on the current customers that it get very chaotic. The staff was kind and did their best but it's very confusing if people are standing there to wait or where to do unless someone tells you what to do. But even still the line and confusion at first is well worth the wait because of the food! read more

I had to drop my car off to Land Rover to get serviced and stumbled across this place, and I am so happy I did! The food is always consistent. Food is sssooooo good! I introduced a few coworkers and they loved it!! Customer service superior there was one morning they didn't have a veggie I requested to be added to my omelet and one of the workers went to a nearby store to get it. Also although they are so good I've probably been a hand full of times but the second or third time walking in the hostess said where would you like to sit? I replied anywhere and she replied how bout right here where you sat last time it may not seems like a big deal but I felt soooo special that she remembered me in such a busy restaurant. read more
