Paperback Cafe

This was my first time here, and the food was very good! I had the apple pie french toast special and scrambled eggs with tomato and spinach. They tasted amazing. The ambience was cute and clean, the food came out quickly, and the prices were very reasonable. The servers weren't the friendliest but they were efficient. The place got busy around 10, so prepare for that. My friend had pancakes which were so so she said. I would definitely come back.

Our new “go to” for brunch. Wonderful staff, great food and excellent coffee. The dining experience is more restaurant than diner but at a very reasonable price point!

I went for the first time recently so I wasn’t sure what to expect. We dined inside for breakfast. I thought the inside was so cute. I ordered one of their specials and I was honestly impressed by the food. My sister got a pancake with a side of bacon and she said both were very good. They also have seating outside, which is nice. This spot has a parking lot, which is a plus for downtown Old Saybrook. Additionally, you can order to go as well, which is great if you’re just looking to get a drink.

My husband and I discovered the Paperback Cafe years ago and now when we visit Old Saybrook, CT it is always our first stop. The pistachio lattes are the best we’ve had. When you open the door to their restaurant, you instantly feel the warmth and welcoming atmosphere from their friendly staff. The Long Island Sound map and shelves filled with Katherine Hepburn books, plants and beach vibes give a wonderfully cozy vibe to their restaurant. Make sure to try their one of a kind PBC grilled cheese, so fresh & delicious!! Honestly, everything we’ve had there from breakfast to lunch is fantastic 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A pleasant little eatery on the main strip that serves breakfast all day, with outdoor seating. The Paperback Club & the Cranberry Orchard wrap are awesome / very good choices! There's many vegetarian options too and lots on the menu for breakfast & lunch to choose from. Parking can be difficult at lunch hour, but you can park further out or on the street if you can find a spot.
