    My mom and I were so excited to try this place because we’ve loved popovers since having them at the Jordan Pond House in Acadia National Park. The wait was around 20 minutes and there’s no room to wait inside. They do text you when the table is almost ready so you can walk around. My mom a popover with cheesy eggs, I got an eggs Benedict version. We also ordered a k pop to share. When our food arrived, it was completely cold. Not lukewarm or room temp, but cold. The cheese on my mom’s meal wasn’t even melted. My bacon and poached eggs seemed like they’d been sitting around. We asked our server to get a manager we could speak to. Our server didn’t seem pleased about it. The manager admitted they were having kitchen issues and offered to bring us something else. I took a new order of potatoes and some plain scrambled eggs because I was starving and we had other plans for the rest of the day. No one ever refilled our beverages. The table next to us received popovers that were steaming hot when they opened them so I don’t know what was going on. Serving eggs and breakfast meats that have been cooked and left to sit out seems dangerous from a food safety standpoint. And if the manager knew the kitchen was having issues, why wasn’t she doing some quality control? The one good thing is we weren’t charged for our meal and we didn’t need to ask for this to happen. It only makes sense because the food was not edible. I feel the cute space and innovative restaurant idea will get tourists in. I personally would not eat here again nor recommend it.

    Worth the wait! Stuffed pop overs are absolutely delectable! Husband got the Irish and I got the 3-cheese and finished everything last bite despite my lactose intolerance... Yes, they're that good! Our server, Megan, was so friendly and attentive and made us feel like locals. We've been craving a return visit since we left. Highly recommend!

    My daughter and I stopped by this breakfast spot in Mystic for the first time, and it was such a charming experience. The space is small but cozy — perfect for a relaxed morning. The menu was full of fun, unexpected combos. We tried one of their weekly specials and something in a skillet — both were tasty and different in a good way. I’m already planning to go back and explore more! Definitely recommend if you’re into creative breakfast options and a warm, intimate atmosphere.
