Both of us felt like trying someplace different for breakfast today so I searched the Cape Cod Restaurants Group page for “best breakfast” and we decided on Good Friends Cafe on School Street in West Dennis. We were fortunate to be seated right away and Tia came by shortly to serve coffee. I decided to try the Pear Raspberry Bread French Toast. I was expecting it to be like banana bread, but it was more like a brioche or challah with big chunks of soft pear and raspberries. It was cinnamony and delicious. I also ordered a side of their homemade corned beef hash which was chunky and beautifully browned. My husband ordered the Apple Honey Ham Melt, which was served on thick slices of their own Apple Walnut bread. Melty Swiss cheese and Dijon mustard topped thick slices of ham, ham that was the kind served at Easter, definitely not from a deli. They substituted home fries for the usual chips. Both of us were delighted with our breakfasts and we will definitely return. --Elaine and Dave Doolittle
Awsome breakfast nook! Lots of daily specials too. I had clam chowder (thick and loaded with the right stuff), tried the grilled cornbread Benedict! Boy was that good! Homemade cb hash, yummy! My husband got 1 chocolate chip and 1 banana nut pancake! He didn't share! Homefries done perfectly! Our waitress, Noriann was such a delight. All staff, all smiling. We'll revisit soon! Hrs. 7am - 2pm!
Very friendly local spot with really good breakfast. This is not your average diner/ breakfast spot. The menu is pretty expansive and everything is worth having which is impressive. I have been here twice before and each time I have left stuffed and very happy with the food/ experience. It can get busy but if theres a wait its worth it to have the best breakfast in the area. I recommend having the combo plate of eggs, pancakes, home fries and meat to get a njce diverse plate of options to try. The homefries are an absolute must! Pancakes fluffy and flavorful, eggs seasoned and cooked perfectly, chicken sausage and bacon were also good quality. My wife had the waffle which was on of the best shes ever had and she loves waffles. Will continue to return anytime we are in the area.
TO DIE FOR! Best breakfast EVER! She gave us an estimated 35 minutes wait time and with all the people ahead of us we were surprised it was precisely 35 minutes! The inside waiting area has free coffee. You can also wait outside on their umbrella covered patio tables. The food seriously was the best breakfast I have ever had. I stopped on the way out to tell the hostess that and Chef happened to be with her! Nice to be able to give Chef a direct compliment! Nice job sir!! Here are pictures
Took my wife for mother's Day. Had a little wait but that's to be expected. The food was wonderfully delicious. The staff were extremely friendly. And it has a family feeling. Just bring cash. They are cash only environment.... Which that's a great idea.
Great breakfast, very warm clean and inviting atmosphere. We went with a large crew of 10. Servers were so nice. Food was excellent. They even made a custom pancake request, a bacon cheddar pancake. Be back when In Cape Cod again.
This was a lovely cafe. Very clean, light and airy atmosphere. The food was delicious and staff were very friendly. A nice brunch spot!
The food was very tasty! The pancakes were big, light, airy, and soft like a mouth pillow. The bacon stripe were a little small as was the sausage link, but they were delicious. The home fries were seasoned nicely, but I am not sure they were homemade. I suspect not. The freshly made breads are nicely toasted on the griddle. I had the pear raspberry. Only order it if youre sure you're going to eat it. Fresh bread doesn't keep well. I will definitely be back as a regular. I got the School Street combo plus the toast. The atmosphere is beachy, which is perfect. It has yet to achieve that lived-in charm that The Red Cottage has, but it is bright and welcoming. The staff was very friendly and in good humor. They are knowledgeable and can help guide first timers well.
Absolutely worth a visit, and worth the wait for a table! Food was delicious with free coffee refills. Good value for money portions. Staff were happy to accommodate requests as needed and very attentive.
This place was busy on a Monday morning! Food was fantastic! The only thing we had to wait for was to order our food. I had their French toast special of the day- strawberry ricotta stuffed. Yum! My son enjoyed his caramel apple waffle, which was also a special of the day. Another plus is that you can get free refills of coffee and tea( hot and cold)!
