Do they have vegan options?

Not that we noticed - it would be pick and choose a la carte like fruit and toast. Think standard egg/cheese (crepes, omelettes) items - though delicious, no vegan.

The service es terrible! Servers didn’t even say hi. They made us feel like nothing there. They were hurring up to close the place so they dint care about the service. When the check was ready they just placed it over the table and said nothing.

They need some training in smile department. But the owner Chef is fabulous. Always consistantly great crative dishes. There is nowwhere on the shorline to match him

Great food! One of the best diners on the shoreline! By far the best place to eat in Westbrook. The owner Ricky is absolutely amazing! What an awesome chef! Turtle cafe is a must stop if you are in Westbrook CT or the surrounding areas.

A nice surprise and extensive menu. Specials are amazing. Get the lobster crepes if you don’t like goat cheese sub feta like I did. One of the best things I’ve had all summer.

A wonderful place to get your brunch. The food is really delicious. You get to see how your food is cooked over the counter. Might take a bit longer (cause it’s always busy) but I promise you it’s worth the wait. Their coffee also tastes pretty good. Get home fries.

Cute mom and pop breakfast/lunch place. If you have not been and are looking for something new, you have to try it. Home made food prepared right in front of you. Chef chats with you as hes cooking. Large selection on menu and very reasonable prices. Weekends are busy & seating is limited.

On the hottest day of the year (so far!) They turned off the air conditioning--or so low that it amounted to the same thing. The beverages were room temperature and I had to ask for a glass of ice. The ice was misting because the restaurant was so warm! A bit too parsimonious if you ask me. The prices are not so low that they are battling with a razor thin profit margin. A wonderful place, great breakfasts, but there's more to dining than just food. Guys, chill! Literally.The portions are huge. So are many of the customers. The dots are easily connected.

My family and I walked in at 10:40 am, after a fair drive, we were greatly looking forward to having breakfast. As soon as walking in we were addressed by one of the servers informing us that they had Just stopped serving breakfast and transition into lunch at 11am, 20 minutes away. While we looked at breakfast plates in the window waiting to be served and the cooks making more breakfast plates yet, we were turned away from having breakfast. No where on their website says we will be refused breakfast 10:40 am. It goes hand in hand, when a place grows to be too good for there guests, us guests should be too good to enable them.

This place is literally my favorite restaurant ever. I first went there when I was about 10 or 11. I’m 16 and it’s still the best restaurant I’ve ever stepped into. The food? Absolutely delicious! The service? Incredible. The people? Some of the nicest people I’ve met. They work so hard, and make amazing food. The drive to the Turtle Cafe from my house is an hour so I can only go on special occasions but if lived closer I’d go every day and I’d never get sick of the food. You haven’t lived until you’ve tasted the food here!!

My daughter and I have visited the Turtle Cafe on two occasions and it is becoming a family tradition for Sundays. Rick and the staff are very courteous and nice. My daughter loves to sit at the counter and watch Rick perform his magic! The food is very good, albeit I stick to the 2 Eggs bacon and home fries. However, seeing the different dishes going out to the customers makes me want to venture out and try something new!

Just as we walked in we were greeted immediately with no wait time. And they were very accommodating! Contrary to how small it may look, the inside felt perfectly homely. Ordering was simple, but difficult because everything looked delicious! Boy, was I excited!Soon, our food arrived and it was piping hot! Upon setting the trays down, I was hit with the most amazing aroma. Couldn’t wait to dig in. Kindness, along with charm, was what I was given by the wonderful and beautiful waitress! So, read the first letter of each sentence.

This is our #1choice for breakfast when visiting the area. Innovative, healthy food choices served by a friendly staff at reasonable prices. Make sure to try the clam hash or the delicious fruit cup. Counter and table seating in an intimate space. There may be a wait on weekends.

Breakfast was delicious but the servers are something else. Ordered eggs, sausage and home fries. When the food was delivered I inquired about the home fries and she said they will be right out. Finished the eggs and sausage and when I inquired again about the home fries she said he never cooked them and hasn’t started them. My question to the server is did you ever tell him? Probably not. They did take it off the bill but the point is you should check your plates before you deliver them.

*****BEST BREAKFAST EVER*****Kevin and I were driving to Vermont on Oct 13th to our friend marrige. We were looking for a nice place for a breafast. I always like to goto small local town shop. I'm not a big fan off Franchies.Thanks to Google that we found Turtle Cafe in CT. We reached there about 7 am and it was already 75% full. We both had the best breakfast ever. We both met with owner Mr. Sharma. Him and his team were very friendly. I wish if this place near to NYC so I visit there more often. Thanks
