Crissy’s Breakfast & Coffee Bar

Top notch! I’ve been to the Damariscotta area a few times to visit a family friend and noticed this «new» place. The décor is bright, fresh and welcoming… a great place to relax and have breakfast or lunch. Service is great and food is fresh and tasty. We went for breakfast and ordered the Mexican Rice Bowl and a croissant. The croissant was deliciously butter and baked to perfection (no joke) and the home made jams (made daily) are often unique and always fresh and nice treat!
I was so excited about this place, I stopped in on my way home to get some goodies for the road. The egg sandwich is really good! I also got a mini blueberry pie and a muffin. When I tried to blueberry pie at home I was immediately disappointed I got the small one! I’m not always a pie lover, but this one may have changed that. Haven’t found a match since!
I really do wish I lived closer!

Excellent menu, food was fabulous and the wonderful environment was icing on the cake. I truly enjoyed the best food with Mexican flair east of the Mississippi!

Fantastic breakfast, absolutely delicious. I highly recommend and order of the oatmeal toast, their homemade jam with it is incredible. All food we had was fantastic. It was not just your traditional breakfast items and can order lunch type meals for breakfast if you would like.

What can I say. Great service. Great atmosphere. Great food. If you’re in the area, go here early in your trip so you have time to go back several times!
On our many trips, I had the breakfast sandwich (excellent), eggs any style with buttermilk bread (excellent!), and the Mexican rice bowl (extremely excellent!!!).

This place is a treasure for breakfast, food is WONDERFUL AS ARE STAFF.
Prices are reasonable and we’ve been back many times. Their baked goods are homemade and just plain delicious.

After a week long wedding extravaganza we brought the after after party here and hey treated the bride and groom and the posse as part of the family.

Delicious food, great coffee and reasonable prices! I would definitely come back here. The menu has «typical» breakfast offerings but with a homemade/​gourmet twist to them but also a whole section on non-​breakfast options that are available all day. The place was clean, bright and friendly. Great place to go for breakfast or brunch!

Can’t say enough good things about this place. The menu is varied, has lots of healthy & interesting choices. The décor is inviting & vibrant. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is the best! We were visiting Daramiscotta for 3 days and had breakfast there every day. Wr were with friends and between all of us there was not a thing that needed to be improved on for 10 meals. Even the gardens are pretty.

Best breakfast in town– don’t waste your time anywhere else!

Great breakfast food, even if you don’t want breakfast for breakfast. Had the Huevos Rancheros and, except for the tortilla being a bit dry, it was very good. The plate is piled high with goodness. The staff is busy, so not always as attentive as one would like. Clean, comfortable and I’ll definitely come back.

Best breakfast in Mid Coast Maine. Hands down.
The Mexican Breakfast Bowl is quite fresh and very tasty. The best latte I ever had was from here. I highly recommend a Maple Soy Latte. It is out of this world good. Not too sweet but not bland at all.
The only reason I gave Crissy’s 4 stars is the service. ⁹⁄₁₀ it is good but when it’s bad it’s really bad. I’m sure the waitress I am speaking of was just having a bad day and was mad for some other reason but in Maine in the winter we don’t get to go out all that often and when we do we don’t want to feel bullied.
Definitely going back and ordering my usual cause it’s fantastic!

5 stars. so good!
5 of us went on one of the busiest mornings of the year and while it wasn’t without hiccups, it was a memorable breakfast in a lively atmosphere.
every worker in there was working hard and had their game face on. the owner was wonderfully gracious and you can tell that she knows hospitality.
more importantly, you can tell that the menu is inspired. yummy diner classics kicked up a notch to be an culinary experience that you’ll be glad you went out for.
tourists and locals alike can enjoy this cozy breakfast spot on the hill.
almond croissants looked terrific, as did the pumpkin puffs (scones)!
don’t miss the huevos rancheros or nuevos. they were both perfect!

Fantastic food, huevos rancheros, specially made omelettes, the croissant to die for.
The service was fast and friendly — ask for Heide as server. And maybe, just maybe you’ll get a glimpse of the elusive genius behind the place — Crissi de Onís.

Still fantastic TWO years later. Great service. Great breakfasts. Amazing baked goods (including gluten free).

Literally my favorite breakfast place. I get the enchiladas and eggs every time because I can’t help myself but everything I’ve tried was the best of whatever it was. Sausage? Best! Oatmeal? Best! Iced tea? Best! They even have gluten free pie! I want to live in this restaurant.

Best breakfast we’ve had in a long time Thankyou! We also ordered some awesome cupcakes for our boys birthday party and everybody loved them.

Very good food, nice service, and decent prices, especially for a tourist town. My only complaint is the price of the orange juice. $ 5 for a glass is a bit much, even if it is fresh squeezed.

**Note: they DO take reservations! A table next to us was reserved.
We stopped here Fourth of July weekend 2014, on our way from Owl’s Head, Maine to Portland, Maine. It was a rainy morning and every restaurant/​café was packed from Owl’s Head to here. We were starving and traveling with two kids, 6 and 1.5.
The wait was about a half hour and then they sat 7 of us at a table that was probably comfortable for 4. But, we didn’t want to wait any longer! Hungry and a toddler on the verge!
Food was fantastic. I had the blueberry pancakes which were fantastic. Fluffy and filled with Maine blueberries. My daughter had the french toast, which she loved! She also had a sugar roll, which looked like a gourmet donut. It had a filling and was scrumptious! Everyone else had egg dishes, which they all loved!
The service was fast. I ordered an scrambled egg for my son after our food came and they had it out in less than 5 minutes. Impressive! Our waitress was totally on top of it!
I found it on Unilocal when we were desperately trying to find a breakfast place. Nice little find and would certainly recommend and eat here again!
They do have a small back parking lot behind the restaurant.

I’m not from Maine, and so I came here on a recommendation from a friend I was visiting while waiting for the bus, and was it ever a good suggestion.
I got the special, Toad in a hole, which is essentially an egg cooked in a piece of bread with cheddar cheese. Simple concept, have had it before, but the bread was amazing (buttermilk bread), the egg was perfect, the cheese was great (I mean, it’s cheese, obviously it’s great), and the sausage and home fries that came with it were exceptional. Topped off with a tall glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and a fresh (still warm) croissant that was probably the best croissant I’ve had in my entire life (with some of the best homemade strawberry jelly ever), this was a crazy good meal. And all for less than 15 bucks (well, before tax at least).

We decided to try our breakfast luck in Damariscotta on a drizzly Labor Day. Unilocal pointed us toward Crissy’s on Main Street, which is a short walk away from the town lot if you’re not lucky enough to get a street spot in front of it. The restaurant is set on the first floor of an old house. When you step in, you are in the front hall, complete with a staircase. Approach the pastry case, down the hall to the right to be seated in one of the homey rooms on either side of the front hall, after a good glance at the delicious looking offerings in the case, like cinnamon rolls the size of my head.
The menu isn’t the unlimited type that is found in IHOP or Denny’s. Just a two-​sided page, but the offerings are interesting enough that you don’t miss hundreds of options. My spouse had a croissant sandwich ($ 8) with ham, scrambled eggs and cheese. This was no puny croissant, it was nearly as big as his two fists put together. The croissant tasted as though it had been made that day. My choice was the Uptown Eggs ($ 9), which was a pair of poached eggs (perfectly done) on sauteed greens, on top of English Muffins (their own) and covered with real Hollandaise sauce. Both came with a side of hash browns. And what hash browns!
Put that ketchup away from the hash browns! These fine potatoes need no such assistance. They are perfectly cooked and are redolent of rosemary. You’d be hard pressed to find better tasting hash browns. Never would I imagine that I would sing the praises of hash browns like this.
I regret that I only have one stomach to give for breakfast, because I would have liked to have tried the Autumn Spice French Toast that was on the specials board, or one of the rice bowls on offer for breakfast or one of their Mexican style offerings (Enchiladas and Eggs!). They also have sandwich options for lunch or you can partake of one of those gigantic, delectable looking pastries that were in the case. Now if only they would open a branch in my hometown.
