  I may be biased because  I live in Topsfield. This is the only place in town you can get a full breakfast. And, I think it is one of the best around. I eat here frequently and my breakfast (bacon & eggs) is always prepared to perfection.

  We stopped in and ordered a bacon egg and cheese sandwich. It was very tasty just as we would expect it.

  I've only been here for breakfast, which I think is pretty hard to mess up, but at the same time very difficult to "wow" you.  I usually get 2 eggs over easy, bacon, wheat toast, and an extra side of hash.  Once I got a western omelet, and it was a bit rubbery, but it's not like I expected any differently from a place like this.  Definitely not the first choice whenever we want to go out for breakfast, but when we're all sweaty from the gym down the street (North Shore CrossFit), it's a very convenient option.

  Great food, great service.  I find myself frequently going to this place on weekends.  They have great coffee 9 times out of 10.  That 1 time out of 10 isn't so bad compared to DD.  As for the food itself, I usually get breakfast, and it's always made perfectly.  I've had their chicken finger sub and turkey club, and both are, for what they are, delicious.  They have come to recognize myself and my girlfriend since we go there a lot, and we always are welcomed with a nice hello.  I've read the previous reviews where they (the servers) are rude, but I just never see it (though, I understand that just because I don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't happen).  Either case,  I love this place, I hope it never goes away, thus I give it a 5 out of 5.

  I was in Topsfield one morning with a hankering for breakfast and Yelped this place from my cell phone, but I was sorely disappointed.  I ordered poached eggs but got fried eggs, my friend ordered a mushroom and pepper omelet and got a plane cheese omelet.  We called the waitress over and explained that we got the wrong food, and she stood there and argued with us about what we had ordered.  We sent back the omelet, it took over a half hour to get it back, and the order was still wrong (mushrooms and onions, no peppers).  It the end the food was sub par, plus it was served on Styrofoam plates (hot, greasy bacon on Styrofoam is never healthy).

  I fed myself and the bigger two of my three spawn here for 20 bucks.
  
  That got us - French toast, 3 milks, 2 sides of bacon, 1 side of toast, 2 mini boxes of fruit loops because I am a sucker, 1 bacon and cheese omelette which came with homefries and toast, and a small coffee. Considering all the a la carte stuff ordered, that isn't too bad.
  
  The omelette was good, though the only cheese available was that rubbery-when-melted white American variety. I mean the cheese was white. I'm sure American's of all colors can appreciate that rubbery bland goodness.
  
  Everything is served on paper with plastic utensils, and you order at the counter. It also has a standard greek sub shop menu for lunch. They have some random pastries and donuts too. . and a big platter of what looked like homemade baclava that I was tempted to try. . but didn't this time. I'm up that way all the time. . .maybe I'll stop in again for that.
  
  There was an odd smell. . kind of old meaty or sour milky. But they were cutting that with these weird little rose scented gel/wick air freshener things on every table - topped with a ring of pink plastic roses. Gee, thanks.
  
  A 16X20 portrait of Mother Theresa watched over me as I ate. I felt blessed.
  
  Every resident of Topsfield over 65 came in while we were there, and it was all very chatty and homey. And my friend Dave came in, too, and he's under 40. . .so don't let it be said that the young and happenin' crowd doesn't come here.:) Steve Winwood's Bring Me a Higher Love was playing. over and over. . .I think their CD was stu stu stu stu stu
  
  If I'm in Topsfield again and looking for a quick bite, I'd definitely go back. But it isn't a place I'd go to especially for. . .anything.

  So far, I've only had the chicken kabob salad here and it is delicious and reasonably priced, around $6.  Wait, I've also had the fries, which are thin and crispy.  Those are good, too.  They also do subs, sandwiches, and breakfast items.  It always seems to be crowded.  However, the women that work there are snooty.  I was checking my order to make sure they added feta (because they didn't a couple of times even though I specified it) and one woman was giving me dirty looks and she asked what I was looking for.  So I told her, and in the most derisive vocie she said "It's on your salad".  I told her I had to make sure because last time it wasn't and I walked out.  However, the salads at the House of Pizza are $8, so I'd rather go where it's cheaper, as the salads are equally as good..  I work in Topsfield and the Day Break is the closest, besides the pizza place.  But the food is good, so check it out.
