⭐ Most Loved Breakfast Dishes
At Kelly’s Café, breakfast is what we’re known for - and these are the dishes our guests come back for again and again.
Our Biscuit & Gravy has a bit of a cult following, featuring a café-made buttermilk biscuit topped with our signature sausage gravy and two farm-fresh eggs - classic comfort done right. For something truly local, The Mainer showcases our house-made corned beef hash, a savory, satisfying favorite that captures the heart of a Maine breakfast.
If you’re looking for something hearty, The Nor’Easter is a staff favorite - loaded with eggs, bacon, sausage, gravy, and melted cheeses on a buttered roll, served with breakfast potatoes (and yes, you’ll want a knife and fork). And for a full, protein-packed start to your day, The Protein Packed Puffin delivers with eggs, bacon, sausage, and all the breakfast staples.
On the sweeter side, our Classic French Toast - especially with warm wild blueberry sauce - and our Blueberry Brie Croffle bring a taste of Maine to the table, balancing comfort and indulgence in every bite.
No matter what you choose, every dish is made from scratch, and crafted to be the kind of breakfast you'll think about long after your trip to Boothbay Harbor.

That’s why so much of what we serve is made right here in our kitchen - from our signature biscuits and gravy to our house-made corned beef hash and baked goods. We keep our ingredients simple, our flavors bold, and our focus on food that feels both comforting and thoughtfully prepared.
Whether you’re stopping in for a quick breakfast before a day on the water or settling in to relax and take in the harbor view, we’re here to make your morning easy, welcoming, and delicious.
Our goal is simple - that you leave feeling even happier than when you walked in, like you just spent time with a friend.
