“This is a cute little spot with a great selection of drinks and snacks! They have everything from tea and coffee to desserts and even hotdogs. The space was clean, well-kept, and had a cozy vibe with outdoor seating. Definitely a fun stop if you’re nearby!”

“Lovely cafe! Open at 6:30, they are pretty much the only game in town for breakfast. Easy to boat up to the public docks and walk to the Cafe. The staff is always smiling and happy to see you! The simple sandwiches, wraps and stacks are delicious. There are many hot and cold specialty coffee & drink options to choose from as well as baked goods. The Screaming Eagle and blueberry scone are delicious! Walking around Chesapeake City is a treat whatever the time of day or time of year! Such a quaint, historic little town!”

“Lovely little cafe with space to sit, talk, and see the bay!! The employees were informative and friendly, i appreciated the help. I would recommend coming by if you’re here for breakfast or lunch. There are some picnic benches to sit at. Prices are okay and there so many options to choose from.”

“Without hyperbole, I just had the best bacon turkey club of my entire life in this fine establishment. The ingredients were fresh, the bacon jam was ridiculously nuanced and tasty, and everything about it was just perfect. I also had a peanut butter, banana, and chocolate smoothie that was also lovely. Highly recommend this place!”
