Coyote Pass Cafe

I feel bad that I haven't written a review of the Coyote Pass Cafe, considering that it was one of the first places we ate after moving to Waterville. I started to write one several times, but was always diverted into writing about something else.

The first time we went to Coyote Pass was for breakfast. The first thing that struck me was the atmosphere. I immediately loved the modern, vintage touch that the owners had created inside and out. The rich paneled wood ceilings combined with ruggedly beautiful floors and lots of woody antiques make the restaurant feel both warm and inviting. The owners were friendly and super talkative and they succeeded in quickly making us feel welcomed and our patronage appreciated.

Adam and I both ordered the eggs benedict, my favorite breakfast and let me tell you, it was yummy! The eggs were fresh, the hollandaise was real and the potatoes were just perfect! I remember the coffee being great as well, but honestly, it's been a little too long to give a good coffee review. Adam and I don't eat breakfast out much and I, unfortunately, no longer drink coffee.

It was probably a year before we went there again, my dad and his wife in tow, and as soon as we walked in, the owner said, "Where have you been?!" I was completely shocked and a little impressed that he had remembered us!

Again, we had a fantastic breakfast dining experience, with lots of friendly conversation. My dad, who is a big breakfast critic, was even impressed.

The next time I went to the Cafe I was by myself and I didn't actually see the owners. I popped in for lunch and ordered a patty-melt, which was just as fantastic as our breakfasts had been, but I'll admit, I did miss the cheery greeting and the chit-chat. I was excited to see how busy the place was, though. The store-front is quite attractive, so it is not surprising that many passers-through feel compelled to stop there.

In my opinion, the Coyote Pass Cafe is yet another excellent choice if you're looking for something to eat in Waterville. It still amazes me that we have so many great eateries in this tiny, little town.
