Cove Cafe

One of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time. We got the last table before they closed the doors for the day. For sure harder to get into but for a reason. I had a simple breakfast: eggs, bacon, toast, potatoes, but it was one of the best quality breakfasts. the ingredients were top tier, the bacon was thick cut and freshly cooked. Coffee was yummy, they had specials that looked great. So quaint and sweet inside, perfect maine breakfast joint.

This cozy little place is clearly a local favorite — and for good reason. It’s small and always in high demand, so be prepared to wait unless you arrive right when they open. We first stopped by around 9 a.m. and the line was too long, but when we came back around 11, we still waited about 25 minutes and it was worth it. The staff are welcoming and friendly, the portions are generous, and everything has that comforting, home-cooked feel. The relaxed, warm atmosphere makes it the perfect place to start (or end) your morning. The food was fantastic — one of our friends ordered the Eggs Benedict and swore it was the best he’s ever had.

Worth the wait! Party of two waited for ~30 minutes on a Thursday morning arriving at about 9:15. We sat at the bar each was fun to see the servers and kitchen staff working hard through the breakfast rush. Incredible lobster omelette ($34 MP), plain Belgian waffle with real maple syrup, homemade muffins, great service. Beautiful interior with real hardwood floors. I just loved this place! Park in the big lot next to Perkins Cove Kitchen. $25 all day. Take a look inside the Perkins Cove bookstore and the Knotty Sailor right next door while you’re waiting.

First timers here but we were told this was a great spot from friends that always stay in Ogunquit. We got to the café around 11 and it was packed! We put our name in and they told us about a 35 minute wait. I always hesitate to wait that long when I am trying a place for the first time and I have two Hangry kids with me, but holy smokes this place was worth the wait! Delicious food like the crab cakes and lobster benedict didn't last long once it was put in front of me. The rest of the family had similar results after ordering the waffles and french toast! We all loved our meals, and agree it was worth the wait. Definitely recommend checking this little place out! As you can see from the pictures, everyone dove into their food before I could get the full picture!

Food was great!! We got scrambled eggs and then split the Blueberry Waffle…which I highly recommend. That was the winner, it was so delicious. The restaurant is small so if you want a guaranteed seat, you should go right when it opens. But we went around 8am and waited about 10 minutes. Worth the wait for that waffle!
