Wild Blueberry Cafe (Ogunquit, Maine)

After a late night of Scrabble with Bret's family Sunday night, Bret and I decided to sleep in on Monday while the rest of the family went to the beach.  By the time we got ourselves going, we were way too lazy to make our own breakfast and decided to check out a little cafe that we spotted along one of our previous walks on Shore Road.


The Wild Blueberry Cafe seemed like it was fairly quiet when we arrived but we did have to wait a few minutes for our table.  It seems as if the restaurant was a little understaffed on a Monday morning as summer is slowly winding down.

Bret and I both ordered glasses of water while we perused the menu and we were promptly served two miniature blueberry muffins.  They were so delightful and the blueberries were definitely fresh.  I am grateful they didn't give us more or I would have probably inhaled them all!


The Wild Blueberry Cafe offers a decent variety of breakfast items.  I was severely tempted by the Lobster Benedict as I love lobster and adore eggs Benedict.  But since we were heading to the beach, we probably wouldn't eat too much of a lunch so we both decided to go with the hearty breakfast burrito.

Even though the restaurant wasn't busy at all, there was a long wait for our food.  I managed to occupy myself by taking photos of the simple yet elegant centerpiece on our table.


And I also took some photos of my very hungry fiance!


Finally our breakfast burritos arrived!  These tortillas were filled with hash browns, scrambled eggs, Monteray Jack cheese, spicy sausage and a mild salsa.  The burrito was definitely huge and it had a lot of nice flavors.  But it was definitely messy and more than a little greasy from the hash browns.


Our breakfast burritos came with a mixed green salad tossed in a white champagne balsamic vinaigrette and sliced strawberries.  While the greens were a nice relief from the greasy burritos, the salad was definitely over dressed and felt a little heavy.


Overall, Wild Blueberry Cafe wasn't the best breakfast or the fastest service but it hit the spot for what we were looking for.  We were desperately trying to revive ourselves from the previous evening and at the same time giving us energy for the beach.  I should also mention that the cafe is also super close to the beach, which makes it a popular spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Wild Blueberry Cafe is located at 82 Shore Road, Ogunquit, Maine.
