Freeport Cafe — Restaurant in Freeport

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve driven past Freeport Cafe… well, you get the idea.

My husband had been on my case about trying it for breakfast, and I finally gave in. Turns out, this place is way better than I expected. I had it in my head that it was some kind of tourist trap because of the location, but nope. It actually gives off super local vibes, and the food was REALLY good.

I think this might be in my top three for best food-to-price ratio in the greater Portland area (does Freeport even count as that?). My “dish” was $11.99 and came with two eggs, two sausage links, two hash browns, and a homemade biscuit. The only thing I didn’t get two of was the biscuit, but it was huge, so I was actually relieved about that. I left stuffed. More importantly, everything was really yummy! The hash browns were crispy but not greasy, the eggs were cooked perfectly sunny-side up, and that homemade biscuit… I could’ve taken another one to-go. Make sure you ask for it grilled; you’ll thank me later. My husband got the biscuits and gravy and his food was just as good. Also, they have dozens of mimosa flavors. I had the pineapple mimosa and it was phenomenal.

Service was great, too. Our server was friendly and super attentive. The vibe inside reminded us of some of our favorite diners in Massachusetts; no frills, nothing fancy, just a classic diner feel. Exactly why...

EAT HERE! I've seen this place countless times while driving on Rt 295 and always wondered about it. Last night I stayed at the Best Western next door and was excited to finally try it out. The food is great! Ordered a veggie omelet with spinach, mushrooms, onions and cheddar. It was STUFFED full of veggies and very tasty. They offer muffins as your toast/bread choice, so I opted for a blueberry muffin as they bake them in house. Got it griddles. So good! Also ordered a side of corned beef hash since they make that homemade too. Great flavor and the potato mixed in is kind of like mashed potato so it all sticks together well and isn't dry at all. I had to get one of their enormous cinnamon buns to go, because how could I not? Service was friendly, coffee was good. I will definitely stop...

We walked in here at about 15 minutes of 2 pm and expected to be told they would not serve us, as they closed at 2. We were cheerfully seated without a word, and given menus. I asked about decaf coffee, and, unbeknownst to me, the waitress brewed a whole pot for me, right at closing time... I did feel kinda bad about this, but thought it was very nice. The Freeport Cafe serves breakfast and lunch only, lunch consisting mostly of sandwich types. We got two sandwiches, a club and a Reubens. They were pretty good, nothing spectacular, served on regular sandwich bread, with a side, coleslaw, and baked beans. Service was wonderful, waitress very friendly and food was hot,...
