Delicious breakfast sandwiches customizable to your liking. Bagels and English muffins seemed homemade and tasty. Many cream cheese flavorings. Lovely baked goods options. Missing the lemon bar we should have bought Our to go bag was well stocked with napkins and cutlery for on the go.

First timer: Walk in , greeted by hostess. Get menu, place order, then find a seat. They bring your meal to your table. Food portions are great and taste amazing! Service is very personable. I'm a people watcher, and Georgia, you are amazing. The restrooms are very clean. Separate section for take out orders. Would definitely recommend it!

The food is the only thing that keeps me coming back. It's probably the 2nd best restaurant in town because it's never made me ill like most of the restaurants in belfast have. The dining area is bright from all the natural lighting, and it's also terrifically CLEAN! The only negative comments I have is that the owner, upon changing locations, ditched at last half of their hot coffee options AND the new place still isn't big enough to accommodate all of their business even with the extra outdoor seating. Lol Seriously though, fantastic food!

This was our 3rd breakfast this week (plus burger night). We both ordered the same breakfast 2 days in a row…because the first breakfast was AH-MAZING. The second day was good but it wasn’t the same both days. QC may need to be tweaked. The burgers were good, HUGE, and the crostini . We will b back in our next trip to Belfast

We had their eggs Benedict & country benedi ct. Perfectly poached eggs, flavorful sausage gravy, crispy hash - overall super tasty. I'm giving 4 stars because the country Benedict came out partially cold & unevenly heated. Good vibes, nice staff, outdoor seating. Ordering is at the counter & waiter/waitress will bring the food.

They are the only game in town for breakfast and lunch other than fast food. Unfortunately the prices reflect it. 5 bucks for a side of homefries is a bit much considering an entire bag of potatoes costs less than that. They also still haven’t figured out the drinks for takeout. It’s sad because the food is good. If they were just more reasonably priced.

Amazing, off the beaten path of Rt 1 in Belfast breakfast and lunch restaurant. The staff was super friendly and helpful. There is plenty of indoor seating with a great atmosphere in the winter. There is outdoor seating when the season is right. The food was extremely tasty and quickly came to our table after we ordered at the front. If you would rather have take away order, they have that option as well. Just come in and go to the left. Kid friendly. Lots of parking.
