Downeast Studio - Boothbay Harbor

Charming cafe with water views very close to the walk bridge. Short staffed like many places now but Cecelia (hostess, cashier, waitress and problem solver) was gracious and calm under pressure. Hope the ownership sees this. Under hard hiring challenges, her professionalism was only matched by the great food. Know that they have an efficient process to order and pay at the counter and then you are seated. Sure our breakfast was on paper plates but we were seated surprisingly quickly and the vibe in this place was so pleasant.

We both went with eggs, home-fries, toast, and I had the sausage (incredibly good item). Service though short staffed did an excellent job. Portions were on the large size, but I am not complaining, and prices are very reasonable. The table were promptly cleared and cleaned between diners. Crew working on the morning of the 8th did an excellent job!

A cafe serving classic American breakfast and lunch dishes. The dining area was bright and cheery, though relatively small so I suggest coming on the earlier side if possible. The owner made sure everything was running smoothly, and we felt right at home with our family. You order at a counter, grab your coffees at a self serve station, and then find a table. They will bring your food and other drinks to you when ready. There was a selection of homemade baked goods that we did not try, but would not hesitate to order in the future. Overall we felt this cafe was a good value, and recommend it!

A tiny cafe. Room for about 4 tables. It seemed under staffed, as we saw only one woman taking care of everyone there. The food was okay, but nothing really special.

Bridge Street Café is less than a block from the footbridge that spans Boothbay Harbor. It's up one flight of stairs from the street, and has a nice view of the harbor from large windows that light the homey café like dining room. This place has wonderful friendly atmosphere. And the hostess who took orders and served us was super! Short of help, apologies were made for a short wait, but, really, the wait wasn't bad. I ordered blueberry pancakes with a side of bacon, and they were worth waiting for. I was happy with my breakfast as were my three companions. We had a great time here. I'll be back! Enjoy!
