Poverty Bay Coffee

Very interesting business concept that we didn't know about when we chose a breakfast location. Food was excellent as was coffee. Portions were generous. Mostly counter service so can't comment much in service. We will go back when in the area

We love coming here! It's close to our house, it supports people in need, offers job training, serves delicious food and coffee beverages plus sells baked goods. What more could you ask for? Food has been consistently tasty and the vibe is fun local diner. Can't go wrong.

I use to go here and really loved it. Haven't been here for years and am so happy that this restaurant seems to have made it through and is thriving. Walked in and was greeted by a beautiful smile from Anjoli. Food, service, and price were all spot on. Guest with me delighted in her biscuits and gravy. Asian chicken salad did not disappoint. We took cookies to go and they were delicious.

Nice mission to provide learning and meeting area for in-need individuals. Lots of space inside and lots of parking space.I didn't realize the Eggs Benedict doesn't come with meat, unless you add it. The fruit (instead of hash brown) is plentiful :) The Asian Salad was tasty but there were some questionable leaves we had to pick out.Order first, bus yourself

A plate of cold, two inch thick biscuits with barely any sausage gravy (had to ask for more gravy), a single pancake and two drinks costed over $30. Mind you, the meal alone was $13 and my daughter's fruit punch was $1.50. So a pancake and a 16oz orange juice ended up being $15?! I truly feel I was overcharged. Everything on the plate was lukewarm, nothing was hot. We had to stand there to order our food and clean the tables ourselves. All the servers and cashiers were in the back talking, so there was no service after we seated ourselves and the food was brought out. Overall, it just wasn't the best experience. Don't think I'll be eating at this place again.

Food was mediocre and service was weird. Basically there was no service just go to the counter and order AND get your food.

If you're looking for a relatively quick and inexpensive breakfast when in the area, this may be the place for you. They offer counter-service, and then bring the table to your food. The breakfast menu is solid including a menu for lighter appetites (presumably, kids, although not limited to kids). The food was OK. The eggs and biscuit were fine; the potatoes were dry and not very hot.The coffee was not good, although it was very hot. Moreover, they served it in to-go cups even though we were eating in-house and I specifically asked for a mug. I do not want my coffee in a paper cup when I am dining on the premises.The servers were friendly.

Got takeout this morning and it was great!Waffle combo and biscuits and gravy combo. They were both delicious. Service was fast and friendly. The biscuits were fluffy and soft. The gravy was so good! Hash browns were done well. There were no weird aftertastes from whatever oil other places use on the hash browns & eggs.The waffle was nice, light and slightly sweet. Maple syrup was a good complimentary flavor too. The eggs tasted like regular scrambled eggs we have at home, perfectly done. The bacon was very thin but cooked perfectly, salty and sweet as well. I also got a drip coffee because I wanted to try the beans. It was very good, not bitter or floral/fruity tasting. It was pretty quiet when we came in, only four tables occupied but it was nice and clean and festively decorated for fall. I will be back!

Great food, and coffee, folks are catching on to this great spot! Please don't ever change.

Not only do they have decent food, its a place that also trains people for the work force. A win win as far as I'm concerned.They have a pretty extensive menu for both breakfast and lunch, much larger than when I first came here several years ago. They also have half sizes of some of the breakfast menu items which makes it so there isn't food waste.I had a half order of french toast that came with eggs your way and choice of meat. delicious. My friend did the same thing with a waffle. Both our husbands had biscuits and gravy which they both said was good but since the biscuits were not split in half it needed more gravy.they have an extensive menu of smoothies, coffee and tea, something for everyone. there are a few tables outside so if the sun is out you can sit outside and enjoy.Plan on going back to try some of the lunch items.
