My mornings are the best when I come here. Their coffee is delicious and their food is so good. The portion of the meals are fantastic. The staff are so wonderful too. Heading over soon for my breakfast and coffee.

Our wait was 30 minutes. Great neighborhood with cool architecture! Oh the food was awesome! We had the Kings French Toast and Breakfast Egg Sandwich. Both were delicious. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere is great. You will not be disappointed to eat here.

The crowds wait outside the Blue Hen. The food is good and substantial portions. I particularly like the peach butter and homemade biscuits. Also the pumpkin pancakes which you can order a plate and everyone can taste. The easiest place to park is the lot across from the Lincolnville Museum. The fee is reasonable and the money collected goes to the museum. After your breakfast or lunch walk into the museum and learn about the history of the local area. The museum is really worth visiting.

Very cute breakfast and lunch spot in a residential neighborhood. They have a small parking lot, but it was full so we drove around for a few minutes until we found nearby street parking. We didn't have to wait for a table, but most were full and there was a line outside when we left.I love a good corned beef hash and theirs is homemade, but it didn't quite do it for me. The beef was cut into a tasty cubes mixed with onion and peppers and was a bit on the salty side, or the hash brown potatoes that were underneath were on the salty side. My personal preference for this dish is a finely chopped mixture of all the elements together where their flavors blend. This was more like a corned beef "salad" where everything was isolated and combined with the other ingredients. Overall it wasn't terrible, but not what I care for. Points off for not serving poached eggs, but the scrambled I opted for instead were nice and fluffy.My daughter has the blue crab quiche and enjoyed it, though she felt it could use more cheese. Full disclosure, we are a family of cheese nuts and my wife makes an awesome quiche that has a lot more cheese than you will ever likely see in a restaurant!Coffee was tasty. Biscuits with (I think) peach butter were very good. Service was awesome--friendly and she kept the coffee cups full.Final verdict for my first visit is a solid 4 stars. I love the variety on the menu even if I wasn't a huge fan of what I selected. I would definitely come back to try something else. The lunch salads also sound very interesting!

Great food, Great service. Large portions. I suggest to go early because it gets busy. Parking is limited. But definitely worth stopping in for! Great breakfast!

Great little breakfast spot tucked into the heart of the historic Lincolnville neighborhood. Make sure you are prepared to wait but the food is worth it. They are known for their biscuits and corned beef hash, which was absolutely delicious. The biscuits were good, a little crunchy for our taste, but good flavor. I’m a big fan of the peach butter they give you for the biscuits, it’s unique and delicious. It’s a little loud inside as it’s a small space with wood floors and gets very busy. The mimosa was very lacking, quite watery. The inside was very clean and the bathrooms were nice as well. Worth the wait!

We loved the food here! We ordered the chicken and biscuits and apple and feta salad and shared it. They were both delicious! I don't usually go crazy over a salad but this was so savory and sweet with a blend of textures. Literally perfect! The chicken and biscuits came with a maple butter that was the perfect compliment to the umami of the biscuits. Also, biscuit texture is a hard thing to nail and these were divine. I almost ordered a biscuit to go! The staff were lovely and attentive and the space itself was homey but chic. We sat at the counter and were chatting with the other diners near us who had similarly fantastic culinary experiences. I would recommend going here if you're visiting St. Augustine. In fact, we might even go again while we're here! (Bonus points because parking was a breeze and FREE--- they have a parking lot but there's also street parking)

So greatful to eat here today and taste the wonderful goodness they make . My breakfast burrito was Devine and the flavors and food was so fresh and delicious. My other half had the pulled pork Cuban and it was the best he's ever had . Thank you to the staff and Chef for a great meal .

Cute spot, friendly and attentive waiter, and DELICIOUS food with generous portions. Highly recommend the biscuits with their peach butter, chipotle pimento, and breakfast burrito with red chili sauce.

Delightful restaurant in the heart of a serene residential neighborhood. Amazing coffee and delicious food! Fast and friendly service! Highly recommended!
