The food was good and the service was excellent. I had a reuben and sone beef vegetable soup both were good. The woman who waited on me was very nice

I can't understand much of this place. Its eclectic nature is mixed with an unrefined sense of scattered cafeteria fridges, jewelry and other items for sale, and foodie awards hidden behind some of the nonfood goods. The hand painted tables may appeal to some, but the journey went south after that. Those food awards were from about 2016 and more recent, but that doesn't fit the 28 reviews, nor the subpar food. I had a Monte Cristo sandwich. The bread was just shy of burned, but the meat inside was cold, and the egg batter was less than I've usually found on an MC. The sodas were canned, and not readily available. The macaroni salad, had an odd tinge of green which I hoped was some ingredient, and I didn't get sick, but I didn't taste any curry, pickle, or other item that would explain it. The kicker is that one of the people pictured on the awards, was the person in the kitchen. Yeah, I'm not clear on what's going on here... but I'm definitely not returning. I'm so thankful I didn't get sick on the green macaroni salad that I'm restoring one star to my review.

Momo's is a very quaint little shop that knows what they're good at. I got the tuna melt and the salted caramel cookie bar, both homemade and it shows. I wish I knew about Momo's sooner!

Really cute little café with absolutely amazing food. We got in at 11:20 and I had the breakfast Montecristo on French toast. My partner had a chicken sandwich. We also bought some baked homemade goodies to go. The owner is a professionally trained chef who has worked in various locations as an executive chef. Definitely worth a visit or getting delivery!

I discovered this cafe on a morning walk. It's right next to he Bass Pro Shop. I had the fried flounder on hoagie with a side of pasta salad and it was so fresh and delicious! It as served with bread and butter pickles on the side. My favorite! For dessert I had oatmeal cookie filled with icing that was far superior to the Little Debbie oatmeal cream sandwiches. Can't wait to sample the breakfast menu. Highly recommend!!!!

Great place. Food is on point! The food tastes very homemade and incredibly authentic. Each item I tasted felt like they it was made with tender love and care. They have a big selection of desserts already premade by the counter and around it for you to grab and those tasted like the delicious treat your grandma used to make for spoiling you.

Ran across momos yesterday Found the owner to be pleasant and inviting Its a coffee sandwich style shop. Very small town feel even though in the bass pro parking lot. Eclectic but delicious sandwich and bake shop. I ordered the ham apple and Brie sandwich with dual potato salad excellent. If you're looking for something local and different give it a try.

Stopped by on a whim on a Thursday morning. It was quiet but cozy, the staff was super friendly and the food was delicious. I had the monte cristo breakfast sandwich and it's brilliant; a sweet and savory upgrade from a typical breakfast sandwich.

absolutely DELICIOUS food with a flair. Everything made from scratch. Incredible selection of homemade desserts! The place itself is nothing fancy but the food is FABULOUS! Totally worth a visit. Lots of space for kids to run around and stretch their legs if you're on the road.

I ordered a Breakfast monte cristo from here. It was just ok. Didn't expect the sandwich to be too hot to hold. I had to wait for it to cool down a bit before I bit into it. Also came with a side of raspberry jelly.They don't have a "sides" menu so I asked for a side of hash browns. The portion was so small and not edible. Not worth 3 dollars. First bite tasted so burnt that it left an oily char taste in my mouth. The coffee was ok. It helped get rid of aftertaste from the hash browns.

Was in the mood for a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel and stumbled upon Momo's. It's in the old Mexican restaurant next to where Lone Star used to be in Hampton on power plant. Threw me off a little (nobody was there), but once inside, I found a fun, whimsical store with painted tables, gorgeous coffee mugs, and good food at a decent price. Staff were wonderful and answered any questions. They do breakfast until 11:30. I'll be back again to try the lunch and the dinner specials.

I went here one day to grab a quick salad as walked away with some pretty almond glazed shortbread cookies too. The field greens salad was great! It comes with spring mix lettuce, dried cranberries, onions, feta, avocado, almonds, a side of chicken salad, and the most delicious onion vinaigrette. I think it's homemade. The chicken salad has dill, which was a nice complement to the salad. The lady who took my order was Momo's mom. She was very pleasant. They also sell pastries and jewelry. The layout has several tables, and plenty of places to sit.

What an awesome find! I read some reviews about it, but the pictures I looked at all seemed like catered events and small sampler portions. I wanted to try it anyway and I am so glad we did. It's looks like a rundown mexican restaurant across the parking lot from Bass Pro Shop. But don't be discouraged; all their effort is invested in the inside decor and the food. There is a good amount of merchandise available, ranging from collected jewelry and purses to skirts and scarves. The sets of tables and chairs all vary, but bring a nice, comfortable atmosphere. There's a kid's corner with small furniture and books. The outdoors seating area is fenced in and has lots of space and several tables.The service was top notch and came with friendly conversation. The inside of the cafe has a nice vibrant and inviting atmosphere. There are baked goods on display all around. The coffee was fresh and really good. The menu was not short, like I expected. I thought cafe, maybe a short, snacky menu. Nope! There are full breakfast options, lots of sandwiches, kids menu, sweets, salads and weekly dinner specials.We bought coffees, the cubana, tuna melt panini, and a pair of oatmeal creme cookies. First, the coffee cups are huge. Second, the owner even said, "Why serve crappy coffee?". It was a good cup of joe. The cubana was a nice take on a cuban, served in a pita with thick slices of turkey, a good amount of ham, and sweet pickles. I was happy with it. My wife's tuna melt panini was tasty and she kept saying how filling it was. The oatmeal creme cookies were terrific. Nice, crunchy oatmeal cookies sandwiching creme in the middle. My wife fell in love with a silver bracelet with inlaid rows of opal. The owner had gotten it from an indian reservation while out traveling. We purchased it and she is very happy.If you want it delivered, there were several Doordash signs inside. We shop at Bass Pro frequently and will definitely return to Momo's Cafe for food when we do. I'm looking forward to it!

Such a lovely Hampton cafe. Despite an unassuming exterior, the cafe was filled with light on an autumn morning, overlooking the colorful fall leaves on the power plant parkway. The decor was artistic and filled with warmth, and it's obviously a labor of love for its owners. Not to mention, the food was very delicious and freshly made.
