This place is fantastic! We drove up to Maine for the weekend and stopped at Henny’s for breakfast before hitting the road home. We ordered a variety of breakfast and snack items. My husband had a delicious custom omelet, cooked perfectly. My children enjoyed their pancakes and homemade French toast sticks. There was a large variety of cooler beverages as well as grab and go food. Truly a little bit of everything. Henny’s is a place you absolutely need to try if you were in the Portland area. The staff is fantastic and makes you feel incredibly welcomed. Prices are consistent with market price, no gouging here, which was nice.
Such a delicious breakfast - I had the sunrise bowl with grilled onions, grilled spinach and turkey bacon and loved it. The tuna salad sandwich on gluten-free bread was great too. Appreciated the hot coffee, GF options, very clean bathroom, and 6am opening time :)
I was under the belief that I had frequented most breakfast places when visit the city but then this place popped up in my recommendations. And I'm glad it did. Definitely a new favorite. For starters they're open at 6am which is very much appreciated for someone who needs to be at work by 7am most days when most other places aren't apen until 8am. They have an option to order online and pickup as well as sit in and dine, which I did both considering I tried it one day for pickup and went back again the next day because my food was so amazing. I had a grits bowl and knew it was a gamble given how off the consistency usually is but these were cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were perfect for the price point and my eggs were exactly as requested each day. I tried the biscuit which was also delicious and I believe they make their blackberry jam in-house? Lastly they serve local roasters for coffee and offer both dairy and non-dairy creamer options. The atmosphere is very uplifting and the service at the counter toptier. Give it a try if you're in town. If you guys ever expand, please consider a location in Bangor haha.
Friendliest service and great food! I've only had the mill house sandwich so far, because each time I go I can't NOT get it. It's also awesome to have a spot I can walk to with coffee until 4pm. Excited to make this a regular spot!
Mill stack was SO good. A BEC with jam might sound weird, but it’s just a slightly sweeter version of one with ketchup; combined with the crisp and lightly-sweet waffles, it’s a sweet and savory match made in heaven! Very friendly and kind staff, comfy space, no frills, and extremely well-priced (just over $11 with tip!)
