If you like waiting approx. 30 minutes for your breakfast, seeing flies landing all over the food, and getting your meal with a side of attitude, then by all means, come to Peaks Cafe! I came here on Sunday morning after getting off the ferry at Peaks Island. This cafe has a prime location... but that's about it. My boyfriend wanted the veggie burrito, but when I ordered it, I was told that they ran out of onions and peppers (ingredients that I consider very basic in any eating establishment, but whatever). I had to call my bf up so he could pick something else, and in the meantime, I let the person behind me in line place his order. When I was ready, the lady at the register almost took the following person behind me, then stopped and told him, "I'm sorry, I should take this customer first. She was in line before, but didn't know what she wanted." Um, yes, I did. You just failed to have what I wanted. And if you're out of something, maybe you should cross it off on your chalkboard menu. We ended up ordering a sausage burrito and a toasted bagel with cream cheese. We waited approx. 25-30 minutes, no joke. Mind you, this place isn't a sit-down restaurant with servers, and the items we ordered were not complex. At about the 20 minute point, after I saw a person who ordered after me get her food first, I nicely asked if our food would be coming out soon. Instead of an apology of any sort, I just got something along the lines of, "We're very busy, we have a lot of orders to do, be patient." When the cook finally handed us our food, she again didn't apologize... she only said that the burrito takes longer than everything else. Well, if you knew the burrito took awhile to make, then why didn't you bother toasting my bagel toward the tail-end, instead of making it immediately after I ordered it, so that it would sit around for 20+ minutes and get lukewarm and soggy by the time I got it?? Also, while I was waiting, I saw flies sitting on the bagels (they don't bother closing their bagel case, even though the case cover was RIGHT THERE), the cream cheese, the cutting board. It was disgusting. I don't usually slam businesses, but seriously, do yourself a favor. Eat in Portland before you get on the ferry. #endrant

This is one of those places that makes a good vacation spot even better. Good food, super nice people and good location.

Take the ferry to Peaks Island some guy tells me...rent a bike and ride around the island he tells me....go there for the reggae fest on Sundays he says.....WHY DIDN'T ANYONE MENTION Peaks Cafe!?! We got off the ferry around 2pm and were absolutely famished....so we crawled up the hill from the ferry looking for something reasonably priced and quick....checked yelp for some help.....DAMN YOU YELP!!!! Only $$$ places? Saw Peaks Cafe, checked it out....solid. They do simple sandwiches, some breakfast stuff, and coffee. Simple, reasonably priced (especially for AN ISLAND!), and friendly staff. Plus they have a cool little outside seating area. It's ideally located right up the street from the ferry landing. Apparently their lox is popular because they were out of it when I arrived and I was sad. Instead I tried the crab roll, twas solid. My lady got the chicken waldorf sandwich which was BOMB! If you're cheap like me, and don't want to sit down to a fancy meal, and just want a quaint little coffee shop....go to Peaks Cafe.

This place is they Jekyll and Hyde of cafes. I've had completely smooth transactions where I zip in, get a well-brewed coffee and tasty pastry, and get on with my day. I've also had stop-ins where there's one person behind the counter making breakfast sandwiches, while a line forms to pay for items or to order. Island life? The last time I was in, the front counter staff were snippety with each other because the person using the register last didn't 'clear it out' so that the next person could ring in customers. After this was resolved, the tape needed to be replaced, so this took another 5 minutes. I just wanted to get the heck out with my coffee and catch the ferry! That said, it's an average place to stop in and grab breakfast on the way TO the ferry. Nothing fancy about it, except the (general) friendliness of the folks inside and the water views directly outside. Since this is an island, they've kinda cornered the market on breakfast places in town, so this might be your best option. If you're coming FROM Portland, you're best advised to try any of the 100 places on the mainland to grab breakfast!

Peaks Cafe seems to be constantly busy - and good for them! They serve a variety of breakfast foods, coffee drinks, and sandwiches. The decor is homey and artsy (similar to the fragmented, yet charming style of Silly's for those of you who've been to the East End spot) and the staff seems jovial (mostly with each other and island locals, though, and less towards everybody else). The prices are a bit more expensive then you would find for something similar in mainland Portland. Again, remember, they're the lone cafe ON AN ISLAND... so, yes, you will pay anywhere from $6 to $10 for a small coffee and a small breakfast sandwich. That's standard pricing here. Now, I'm continually baffled that our society seems to have effortlessly embraced gluten-free diets, yet still struggles to maintain respect for plant-based diets. I say this, because while Peaks Cafe offers gluten-free English muffins (which are dense and delicious, by the way - probably would be amazing slathered in crunchy peanut butter!) and a gluten-free dedicated toaster, I've watched the folks making breakfast sandwiches here handle meat then cheese then meat then some eggs then some cheese then some meat then the eggs then some meat... on and on without gloves, and without washing their hands. Meaning if you're a strict vegetarian, you're best bet here is to stick with the pastries (I've heard their blueberry and cheese danish is OUTSTANDING); otherwise, YES, you essentially will be eating (the remnants of) meat. It was so discouraging watching the staff handle gluten-free requests with such care and precision, only to watch the egg and cheese supposedly "vegetarian" breakfast sandwiches smothered in bacon and sausage juice (from hands, from the counter, from use of the same spatula/knife, from the small griddle area, etc). This is definitely something to consider for those of us who aren't interested in meat-covered everything.

There is a marked dichotomy in the reviews and I can see why. Peaks Cafe aims for funkiness just up the street from the ferry and it pretty much achieves their goal. There are just two people working the kitchen and one of them is taking orders so nothing happens fast. We ordered the "Vegetarian" sandwich and it was ok - veggies in a wrap - except that what was advertised as being in the wrap and what actually appeared were very different. I was told when I ordered that they were out of artichoke hearts. "It's an island and were at the end of our week so that's just what happens," I was told, delivered in a tone that more closely conveyed, "So just deal with it," than an apology. It was a nice, breezy day so the infamous flies that have been highlighted in other reviews were not present. My sandwich arrived after about 15 minutes with a side of desultory chips straight from the bottom of the bag. Besides the artichoke hearts, also conspicuous by their absence were hummus, tabouli and avocado. It being a chalk board menu one would think it would be easy enough to change as ingredients of the fare change, but ... Staff was generally friendly. Crowded seating inside with picnic tables out, both front and back. One orders and picks up at the counter. Tip section appeared on cc tab but I'm not so inclined when I've done all the bussing on my own.

I spent a lovely weekend at Peak's Island and my breakfast at the cafe was one of the highlights. The bacon, egg, and cheese on a homemade croissant was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had! (If you get a breakfast sandwich here you NEED to get it on a croissant.) I would tell Guy Fieri about the cafe but I want to keep this little gem a secret!
