Best WLM Reviews

This is a great little cafe with a quaint outdoor patio space. Food was amazing! Staff was sweet and attentive. They said it would be a 30 minute wait (which was fine) but it actually on took about 20. Beautiful park across the street to kill the wait time. Worth the wait!
This is an amazing breakfast spot. Their blue berry pancakes are a great Maine staple. Also my wife loved the lobster Benedict. The waiter was extremely helpful and wanted to make sure we had exactly what we wanted and was attentive. The only downside is the seating. We got there early with no issue, but as we were leaving there was a long wait to be seated. If you have hangry members in your party this may not be the best spot.
Superb breakfast! The atmosphere is lovely and cozy, and the staff are incredibly friendly. I strongly recommend trying the lobster benedict and cinnamon roll pancakes - they were absolutely delicious.
Incredibly delicious and pleasant breakfast. The bayside scramble was phenomenal. Super balanced flavors and came with impressive potatoes and a huge 1 inch thick slice of toast. They make two homemade hot sauces too! The blueberry and chocolate chip pancake was a star - not too sweet, perfectly soft, drizzled in syrup. The maple sausage was also great. Iced coffee was fine. Love this place!
Everything was delicious. Superb customer service! Brunch with a friend on the outdoor patio. We loved our meals and Mimosa’s.
We came with our two dogs and the staff was super friendly and more than accommodating. They brought them a bowl of water without us even having to ask and all came to say hi. The food was fantastic and the workers were all super friendly! Would definitely recommend coming here!
Great food super service. Breakfast was awesome. Home made bread , and corned beef, gravy biscuits and ginormous pancakes! U should go!
Bayside is one of those places that you will REMEMBER. It's that good, hands down. The vibe is cozy and comfortable, like you're in an old, warm home. The staff is so friendly, and they make you feel happy to be there!
And, yeah, the food ????????. It's like being on a cooking show/competition, with care paid to presentation, quality, and creativity. I can genuinely say the crab cake benny was worth every penny. You can just tell that people care about the food here, and it's a lovely thing. Friendly tip - the pancakes are colossal, both wide and tall. The bacon scallion and banana pecan ones shown are the kids' size ????
Can't wait to come back again!
