We LOVE The Geenery Cafe! It's the perfect place to have mimosas, lobster, the best eggs Benedict ever, and their amazing cinnamon toast, or heavenly cinnamon rolls. Y'all... it's so good. It's always incredible. I definitely prefer going early in the morning when the locals are there and not too many tourists. The owners and their team are awesome - great personalities, and very down to earth. We can't wait to come back!

This is our second time coming here for breakfast and the food is amazing, it’s very popular with locals and tourists alike. I the omelette and my mom had a huge blueberry muffin, both were amazing. They also make a mean latte! Prices are reasonable, the service is very good considering how busy they are and we’ll be back. We had to wait about 10 minutes for an indoor table, not bad at all. Parking is limited.

UPDATE 11/14/23: Very unfriendly and unwelcoming owners. They feel entitled to the business and feel they can treat others like total garbage.
Unless you’re a local and enjoy laughing at people after screaming at them, you won’t fit in well and are not welcome here.
Long review short: Food is great. I give them that. Service is terrible due to self-admitted understaffing. My guess is the way the two owners behave has much to do with that.
They are very strict on smoking. I can understand, it’s a gorgeous area. We were enjoying chatting and having brunch with an International couple.
The wife heads literally to the street to light up, and as a former smoker I would have smelled it if it was bothersome. Turns out, while the staff was busting to run the place- the owner somehow smelled smoke from her barstool.
She comes out and screams “No Smoking, Anywhere, Ever!”. I nailed them on Yelp for this. You do not treat anyone that way. The owner insists there is signage everywhere. I took lots of pics and I’m not seeing it.
It’s the entitlement of the owner that is the issue at hand. Go on Yelp. Read her responses. She is straight up nasty. Entitled to be patronized. She sells 400 muffins a day and has a solid following running a “tight ship”.
You can see the staff is miserable working for these two. They feel entitled to your money and will totally trash you if you leave bad feedback.
The flag the partners fly out front implies love and acceptance. Yet, they treat everyone else terribly.
I would pass this place and their bakery by. The owner even trashed some potential patron’s child on Yelp. It was nauseating.
You want acceptance AND you feel entitled to peoples business. 400 muffins to bankruptcy happens quick! Enjoy your vacay while you can!
I will continue to ensure others know about this. It isn’t about the smoking. It’s the entitlement and responses visible on Yelp from the owner.
I fired right back at the couple on Yelp. They do not intimidate me. Take that flag down. You do not represent what that flag stands for.
Vile, vicious owners. They could’ve handled this with care and respect. But reading responses, it’s not in their character to do so. They aren’t capable.

Best breakfast place in Ogunquit. Wonderful happy atmosphere. Staff smile and energy is refreshing (Michelle, is fantastic, she deserves a raise!). Always seem very busy during the summer, so you might need to wait. Food was amazing, and there are some bakery you can take away too. Another bakery under the same name also available not so far away from this cafe, if you’re not planning for breakfast.

Biggest helping of lox ever! Everything was fresh and well plated. Pesto sammich was delish - eggs and bread were so soft. And spiffy service to boot!

Breakfast Sandwich
Wow! You guys this place is worth the wait. I recommend ordering one of everything on the menu. The muffins, cinnamon rolls, omelet and homemade strawberry rhubarb jam were all so incredible tasty that we bought extra to take home to our friends and family. I added bacon to the lobster and Brie omelet and I stick by that decision!

Chocolate Chip Pancakes
One of the most under-rated breakfast spots in Ogunquit that seems to be popular with the locals, so you know it has to be a good place.
Try their jam, it is absurdly good! Pastries are delicious; the staff is attentive and friendly.
