Not easy to see in the corner of a small shopping center. However it is a very cozy place and the food is excellent. Their chicken pot pie is the best I have had anywhere and their pastries are top of the line. Wait staff is always on the move seeing you are taken care of.

This is the first time we've been here for breakfast. We were very disappointed. Over easy eggs were seriously overhard. Potatoes were cold and you could taste the raw spice(obviously not cooked enough because the heat was too high). The cook, if using a flat top, needs to learn that you don't cook everything on super high heat. He can create heat zones on a flat top to keep food warm while he prepares the other items. Or at least put them under a heat lamp. Cooking everything on super high heat doesn't make for faster service, it just makes the food terrible.

I love this little sandwich shop. The food is always delicious and the service is top notch.

Spent $40 on breakfast...it was edible but not great by any means - should have went to carolina bagel since its so close but wanted to try something new. Their lunch and desserts did look tasty though!

Not for nothing, but, regardless of circumstances, when you have an opening time and no information to the contrary, and you don't open or have any signs of life in your restaurant, you will lose customers because you are unreliable and untrustworthy. This goes for any business. Was looking forward to taking my daughter there for breakfast before she left on a trip, and at 7:40 the door was locked and no one was inside the restaurant. Hoping nothing legitimately bad befell your entire opening staff (unlikely), but that's probably not the case. If you're gonna visit this struggling establishment, call first. If you get the machine, they're likely not open. Instead of a "Gofundme" campaign, how about a dependability campaign?

Loved the food! Everything was cooked to perfection! I ordered a burger and it was AMAZING. The meat was juicy and cooked just perfectly, the lettuce was fresh and premium, and the onion was premium and cooked just right! The fries were cooked to perfection and was the perfect side! The staff there are so nice and make you feel at home! If I could rate this ten stars I would! Definitely would recommend a thousand times over!

I went to Sweet Pea Restaurant today after Dr appt just by chance for breakfast. I had a delicious western omelette and enjoyed their coffee. My son enjoyed his breakfast so much, he purchased lasagne for supper and loved it. When in New Bern, I will visit again. We both enjoyed the service and friendliness of personnel.

Wow. Love it. Genuine Italian food right here in New Bern. Outstanding lasagna, the sauce is exquisite, the meatballs are very good. Salads, broccoli salad in particular are wonderful. I'm a native New Yorker with Italian heritage so hopefully without sounding like a snoot I figure I'd know the real thing. The Roast Beef with caramelized onions and horseradish sauce has to be one of my favorite all time sandwiches. I did have a sandwich I didn't care for but I believe it just wasn't something that I'd like anyway. Breads are good too. Pretty sure the owner told me they're flown in from a bakery on Long Island. (NY) Don't miss it.

I love this little cafe. The decor is very cute. The food was yummy. The quiche was lucious. The sausage gravy was the best I've ever tasted. The doughnut bread pudding was great. All the food looked beautiful and the everything on the menu sounded great.

What a gem. Thrilled to see good gluten free options. Huge salad! Best salad dressing ever with my spinach salad. Grilled chicken was juicy and tender. Friendly staff. Lots of prepared dishes to take home and heat up. Love this place!!
Delicious! We stopped for brunch. I had probably the best salad ever (the spinach, goat cheese one). They do not skimp on ingredients. My husband had an omelet that was also amazing! We had to try the fresh cinnamon roll, heaven! And I took a blueberry hibiscus tea to go. They provided great service even though we probably seemed high maintenance because we didn’t want to miss anything about this amazing place. Thank you!

It was ok. My chicken salad sandwich seemed room temperature, not cold. Then a cockroach came crawling across the floor. Sandwich and a tea, $13 . Cockroach, free. First and last visit for me.

What a charming little restaurant! Despite it's small size this cafe has mouthwatering handmade desserts, quiches, sandwiches and a wide assortment of dinner foods (the meatballs and meat and vegetable lasagna are enormous). The breakfast was delicious. The egg nest with sausage and gravy was outstanding - very flavorful and savory. I love this place and so will you.

Good food, good desserts, clean and light atmosphere, and the customer service is out of this world! ?I would definitely come back and bring a friend!
