My sister and I were on a little girls trip in Westbrook. We were told to go to turtle cafe for breakfast. We're so glad we did. Everything was fresh and there were so many delicious options. I had the Vegetable Delight. It was so good, we went there for breakfast two days in a row and I ordered the same thing.

Visited an outlet mall in southern Connecticut and saw the Turtle Cafe food truck. The menu was great, had a tough time choosing between the smash burger & their bacon wrap, chose the wrap and was not disappointed at all. The gentleman running the food truck (not sure if they're owner/partner?) - was very friendly and knows how to make great food! Plan to visit their physical restaurant soon!

We missed our train and decided to get breakfast while waiting for the next one, gave Turtle Cafe a try. We loved the local casual diner feel and the option of counter seating. Service was friendly and attentive. The chicken and mushroom crepe was delicious and a very generous portion. The hash and eggs were also delicious, with over medium eggs cooked perfectly and also a generous portion. We loved that the offerings include more creative options such as lobster crepe, beautifully prepared crepes both sweet or savory, professionally prepared and beautifully presented as well as classic breakfast favorites. Will be returning regularly to this local gem.

This place is small, but the menu has HUGE and the staff are amazing! I got the TURTLE SIZZLER: Eggs scrambled with sausage, ham, chorizo, onions, mushrooms, peppers and cheddar cheese, topped with Cajun aioli and scallions, served on a bed of home fries. It was delicious!

Spent a bit of time with some friends in CT. We all happen to be "breakfast people" (it's not a horror movie, I promise). I will cut to the chase. We were staying at upper-end resort, and went here on the recommendation of some friends. The place looks like a luncheonette from the 50's. I was expecting someone to sing the theme from Chock Full O'Nuts, with Cora pouring a cup of coffee. While it is nothing spectacular to look at, the breadth of the menu selections are incredible. I had the Smoked Salmon Frittata. Two days in a row. While the menu offerings are vast, including specials like Lobster Frittata etc., this entree was incredibly good. It had goat cheese smoked salmon, with spinach as a base. Crazy good. Others had their s'mores with Nutella, toasted marshmallows and strawberries. Not sure what the strawberries were doing there, but you have to make it healthy. Others in my group had their hash, eggs, and pancakes. Incredibly good. The portions are huge. Service was good, and timely, despite the fact that they were extremely busy. If you are looking for ambiance, this ain't it. However, if you want a great food experience, it is more than worth going there if you are in the CT area.

The cafe has a diner feel with old school vibe. Small inside. Which was nice. They have crayons and games for kids to use. Which was great with a 2 year old. I got a lobster omelette with spinach and home fries. Which was very good about $20. I also ordered a Hawaiian Belgium waffle for about $13 which has fresh bananas and pineapple with a mango puree. I didn't even need to add syrup. The service was good but I think they were nice and the had a lot of people. The staff was pleasant.
