Reviews for St. Joe's Cafe in Scarborough, ME
Staffing shortages are miserable. At least that's what I believe was today's Occam's Razor. We called at least a half dozen... times to pre order, no answer. Arrived to find only one poor girl taking in person orders and making drinks on a busy weekendmorning while ignoring the incessantly ringing phone. The food came out reasonably quick, even for the 2 people in the kitchenrunning around making 615151 orders. But with short staffing on a busy day comes an obligatory decrease in the quality ofproduct. But even on these days, there still should be quality assurance limits. Receiving your much anticipated breakfast ordershould not be met with disdain on unwrapping the meal. I had such high hopes for the pumpkin waffle sandwhich to only unwrap 2half burnt waffles with some half cooked egg and bacon in between. Even on a busy day with a skeleton crew, this should not havecome off the line and considered good to go. There's still a price the customer has to pay. I would've gladly waited another 5minutes for a new waffle and my meal to be cooked vs what I got. Read more
Sign said something about bennies....turns out they sell beignets. Was good, not spectacular or anything, sauce was just... Hershey's syrup, but good enough. Read more
The absolute best breakfast sandwiches on homemade biscuits. Easy to get to go or enjoy eating in at the cafe. The portion will... last you until second breakfast comes around. Read more
Great food! I got the famous Bennie and my boyfriend got their bagel with cream cheese. Not a lot of seating best to get there... as soon as they open if you want to sit inside to eat. The famous Bennie is definitely the closest to a NOLA Beignet that I havefound if I was to get them again I would ask for lite powdered sugar, their raspberry sauce was amazing! Read more
This place was great! It was pretty small but a must try for sure. The coffee was amazing and they had some of the best... vegetarian breakfast sandwich options we?ve encountered yet! The margarita and the mushroom in particular were delicious, and ifyou?re looking for a meat option the bacon egg and cheese was great as well. Read more
Wow ???? 10 out of 10. Best breakfast sandwich to date. I ordered the waffle joe and wow again. The waffle, the hashbrown, the... eggs everything cooked to perfection. It's a small hole in the wall place but def a must to stop and grab a waffle joe to go.There coffee is super fresh and flavorful as well. I will def bring others here to try it out. Read more

Incredible eggs sandwiches on a homemade biscuit.. I was not a biscuit fan or egg sandwiches until one time I stopped here with... my wife and they said all they had for egg sandwiches was biscuits so I reluctantly agreed but boy was I surprised! They?reamazing. Now I buy extra biscuits to take home. They keep well in the fridge or freezer and or a great treat. Read more
