Have been gone for six weeks! Went to have a great breakfast and a sign permanently closed! I am very disappointed, I would have breakfast there a lot, and always very good. The service was very good also! They had the best by far.... breakfast in the Monadnock Region.... Sure wish this was not for real. No place to go now to have a great breakfast and service! They will be missed. read more

We are so glad we went here today! My husband had a "build your own" omelette and said it was the best one he's had in a very long time. I had the blueberry pancakes that were to die for. Friendly staff, absolutely adorable inside and just an all round good relaxing experience. We're looking forward to our next visit. You should make reservations if you're stopping in on a weekend. PS. Get a side of extra crispy bacon read more

The head chef puts out an amazing ab creative menu and options that keeps things fresh especially for events. Dishes so good I hesitate to mention one because you cant go wrong with any of them. A go to for an upscale brunch the bloody Mary's and mimosas are a cant miss option for in the city and the bakery case items are a must take treat. Would come here every day if I had the time. Service is quick and attentive, great team working here. Ambience is just the right fit for the other aspects. read more

What a cute little place nestled in downtown Keene. Great atmosphere and the food was delish. Coffee was also very good. We were served quickly and our waitress was the nicest person ever. Came back many times to make sure we (my boys and I) were good and was very accommodating to our needs (which we were needy that day). Would 100% come back here. read more

Went there for first time on Monday Had a Good breakfast meal Unfortunately they closed for good on March 3rd read more

Delightful atmosphere, food was good, some of the best hollandaise sauce I've had in a very long time! The Brunch Bestie drink was very juicy, not really well balanced, but if someone is looking more for a juicy than boozy drink, this one is for you! The service, even though there was only one server, was still good! read more

Cute cozy modern menu with a vintage vibe- we loved it! Perfect amount of options on the menu everything was delicious, highly recommend!

Went to Yellow Belle Cafe to try something new in the Keene area for breakfast on a Sunday. Yellow Belle Cafe is a newer spot easily found on Main Street in Keene, with a towards back of cafe coffee/bakery case for a quick stop in and go option and the main space devoted to table service seating. I had the build your own omelet with home fries, bacon and sourdough toast which was well cooked, filling and better than your average diner/breakfast spot. My wife had one of their signature dishes, Huevos Rancheros which was flavorful, though a bit spicy for her being someone that tends to go the mild level route (although I liked it as I love some heat). Rest of crew had some fruit, an egg and blueberry pancakes and all said their food was good. We had hot drip coffee, which was decent, but came in the worlds smallest cups and it wasn't clear upon ordering whether it was free refills for your $4 (which it was) and we had a few refills through the meal by our server- I would have drank more. Food came out with reasonable wait-they were busy. Overall impressions: 1) cuter cafe with variety of good breakfast (and brunch) options offering espresso, cold brew, baked goods, etc and better ingredients, all of which tastes fresh. 2) coffee mugs are way too small and due to this you are often left without coffee until server refills- would love to see a bigger standard size. 3) Cost-For 4 people with one of our party it was about $80 plus tip, which is steep considering portions, what was ordered and many add ons cost extra. If they adjusted down some of their items cost it could mean more people returning more frequently to be a bit more affordable, but clearly they are busy despite this. Bottom line is Yellow Belle Cafe is a nice addition to Keene and we'll be back, just not as often as we'd like due to cost. read more

Great service and great food! We had the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon (which was probably one of the best we've ever had!) and the banana bread French toast which was very good! Our waitress was great despite it being packed on a Saturday morning! read more

I've been for breakfast many times. I just never think to do reviews. Breakfast has always been an amazing experience. The "brunch bestie" is my go to drink. The service is always stellar. We went tonight for their first dinner serving (moving from a breakfast/lunch place to dinner on Thursday Friday Saturday). We were impressed from beginning to end. The Brussels sprout appetizer was the perfect mix of sweet and savory My husband and had the meatloaf, delish. I had the coconut chicken. Tender, juicy and crispy. We hated to leave so we went with a warm brownie sundae. Perfect ending. Dinner on Main Street in Keene is always my favorite! This date night DID NOT disappoint read more

Food was excellent, beautifully presented, service is just attentive enough without being overly so. Great friendly vibe from all the staff. Highly recommend giving Yellow Bell a try. read more

Visited YBC day after opening for breakfast. Great attention to detail meets you after walking through door in dining room to the left and pick-up orders to right. My second impression came upon seeing a podium for the host and then hearing a subsequent customer being asked if they had a reservation. Just setting the tone that this is not simply a breakfast joint. Interior vibe is really nice with bright interior, great banquette for seating, and a bar/counter for singletons. Service was attentive and the small coffee cups required the staff making frequent stops. Finally food was very good. Classic eggs benny that includes home fries was well done and tasty. Hollandaise leaned on the lemony side if that is an issue for you. My friend had breakfast tacos which featured avocado and looked like tostadas. We both were intrigued by the banana bread French toast but passed. Next time we can share an order. Finally I'll mention the vanilla bean glazed cake donut that I started out with. They have 4 kinds but were already out of cinnamon & sugar. The waitress specifically highlighted the pastry board which is close to a breakfast board I keep waiting to see other than a favorite spot on vacation in northern Minnesota. Price with coffee/non-alcoholic beverage is going to be around $20/pp. I'll be back for the French toast! read more

The food was very good, service was paced well (we didn't feel rushed, but also didn't wait too long), and the atmosphere was clean and pleasant. We loved the variety on the menu, as well. It's nice to have a consistent breakfast choice in Keene that isn't diner food. We'll definitely be back! read more

We stopped in the try this new spot late morning. Very cute inside, nicely decorated. We got grab and go coffee and food. The iced coffee was horrible, watered down and tasted low quality. We threw it away and got coffee elsewhere. The breakfast sandwiches were pre-made and just ok, freshly made might have been better. Staff was friendly at the counter. read more

Great breakfast at yellow bell, I got an omelette and it was delicious! Also tried a pancake and it was also very good! Will definitely go back, only complaint is the sizes of the coffee and specialty coffee/tea cups were very small! I got a chai latte and it was not worth the price for how small the cup was, please get bigger mugs!! Otherwise great breakfast! read more

Food was delicious! And the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Very busy on the day after thanksgiving, glad we made a reservation.

Love the atmosphere, even the bathroom is super cute and matches the vibe. Friendly staff! I sat at the bar and was very well attended to by more than just my server. Good food, great mimosa! A great local spot to support. read more

Service and food are on point. The menu is interesting and who doesn't love a mimosa there not just for weekend here

Everything was just right! The ambience is pleasant, the service excellent and the food delicious. We had eggs Benedict and a make-your-own omelette. The Hollandaise sauce was great! read more

This is an odd place. First time we've been to a typical breakfast/lunch joint that suggests reservations. Dropped in about 1:30 and they were already cleaning up. Maybe 7 or 8 patrons, and the hostess asked if we had reservations. And you're looking at Boston prices here (HUEVOS RANCHEROS for $19??) which in Keene, that seems like a stretch. $3.50 for a cup of coffee that was on the weak side. Our other order was a salad for $14. Food was ok, not out of this world, but $48 for a quick (because they close at 2) lunch is over the top. read more

Stopped in for pastry to go, was able to get parking on main street right in front. Service at counter was pleasant and capable. Looking around it is cute and I will stop back to see how the sit down experience is. The donuts and scones were very good. However, the Berry Fritters ($4 each) were not edible due to the grease which soaked into every pore of the final product. Now I can handle a little fat in my fritter fer sure, but this was fritter folly, a faux fritter, a fatastrophe of a fritter. I hope they review their recipe and process for this item as the other baked goods were good. read more

We were excited to try out a new breakfast place since the Keene, NH area desperately needs one and especially based on the reviews. The need to have a reservation was a surprising and interesting approach but didn't bother us too much. The atmosphere is nice and welcoming - plus it's new and clean. Our server was very nice, engaging and clearly relatively new to serving tables. It took 7-10 minutes to get our coffee and water; then equally as long after for our order to be taken. (We noticed the same at most other tables) Drinks were served by handling the top rim of the cups where guests drink from instead of from the bottom or the coffee cup handles; the same happened when refilling water/coffee. Additionally, the overall service in the dining room was a bit chaotic; they must still be working out their 'systems' and procedures. Tables were a bit close together which caused our chairs to get bumped the numerous times servers or other guests went by. Regardless, everyone was pleasant, hence the 3 stars for service. For food we ordered the bakery board to share which arrived with 5 items: all of which were a bit dry and/or stale; 3 were delicious in flavor, the other 2 were bland. We would not order it again. For entrées we had the smoked salmon toast, the whipped ricotta toast, the classic eggs benedict and the huevos rancheros. The two toast entrees were just ok, with the ricotta one being better with interesting flavor combos and the salmon one being much better at another local spot. The eggs benedict had extremely bland hollandaise sauce which ruined it. The huevos rancheros were delicious but we would not order again due to the high price compared to the amount of food - the value is not there with the taste alone. It should come with home fries at the very least. The same goes for the pricing on the other 3 entrees - the value just isn't there. So overall, due to the high prices, the less than average food and the untrained service, we gave it 2 out of 5 stars....if there was the option to give 2.5 we would. At this point, we will wait a considerable amount of time to go back if at all. Paying almost $100 for breakfast, plus tip, just isn't worth it for us, especially since the food taste/value was below average and the service was lacking better etiquette. It's important to keep in mind we are eating out junkies! We love food experiences and we have 30+ years restaurant experience as servers, cooks and hostess/manager. So, needless to say our expectations are high comparatively and people reading this review should take that into consideration. We also understand the challenge of owning a restaurant on main street with the excessively high rents, etc., and still needing to make a reasonable or better profit. It's just not something we are willing to pay for unless the overall experience "knocks our socks off!" For breakfast, we'd rather eat at a "hole in the wall" where the food is delicious and plentiful, rather than pay high prices for location and atmosphere. Dinner is a different story, depending on the occasion; but the food/service still needs to be better than average regardless. read more

Nicely redone restaurant, bright and well decorated. Good service except two of us were charged for coffee we did not get. My Poutine was excellent. All at our table satisfied. Drawback, pricey and with coffee $3.50. Nice pastries that are made there. read more
