    Review

    Popover Eatery and its companion Bistro & Bakery deliver a consistently strong breakfast and brunch experience that lots of guests travel for. The place is described as quaint and welcoming, with a bustling atmosphere that reflects how popular it's become. Guests frequently highlight the standout popovers, the broad breakfast and gluten-free options, and the friendly, attentive service. The location also offers the option to sit outside on a patio or indoors, which many find appealing on busy weekend mornings. It's clear that this spot has carved out a loyal following, especially among those who value gluten-free and allergen-friendly offerings.

    On the food side, the menu is celebrated for its signature elements. The popovers themselves are the star for many reviewers, with several noting they're among the best they've had, whether filled simply with eggs and veggies or paired with strawberries, banana, and Nutella in a dessert-like twist. Breakfast items receive similar praise: customers say the eggs are cooked to perfection, and the overall quality of breakfast dishes is consistently high. One guest even calls the popover breakfasts "enough for two," underscoring how generous the portions are in the morning kitchen. The overall impression is that Popover Eatery excels at crafting fresh, tasty, and oftentimes health-conscious options.

    Vegan and gluten-free options are a recurrent highlight. Multiple reviewers point out how accommodating the menu is for those with dietary restrictions, including celiac-friendly choices and clearly labeled gluten-free baked goods stored separately. There's visible appreciation for the care that goes into preparing safe items, and guests with gluten sensitivities often report positive experiences. Within this space, there are standout vegan items - though opinions vary on balance and execution. For instance, some praise the Vegan Sammy, while others feel it would be improved by reducing the amount of Just Egg, adding bulk with greens or another component, and adjusting price accordingly. There are also mentions of plant-based and vegan-friendly breakfasts that leave guests eager to return and explore more of the menu.

    The sweet side of the menu earns plenty of love too. Guests talk about enticing baked goods and desserts, including a memorable banana cake and a lemon ricotta cake to-go. The coffee program garners compliments as well, with mentions of locally roasted options and seasonal drinks that feel inventive rather than gimmicky. This emphasis on quality ingredients and a thoughtful pastry program reinforces the overall impression of a place that takes breakfast and brunch seriously, not just as a quick bite but as a culinary experience.

    Service consistently emerges as a mixed bag - largely positive but with notable exceptions. Many guests describe the staff as friendly, welcoming, and attentive, with Brendan singled out by several diners as "the best." When the service is on, guests speak of polite, quick, and engaging interactions that contribute to a memorable visit. However, there are slower or more chaotic days too. A Sunday in particular is described as chaotic and less welcoming, with some guests feeling the seating arrangement was disorganized, drinks or orders arriving incorrectly, and a sense of busyness overwhelming the staff. These contrasts reinforce the sense that the restaurant is popular and busy, which can be a double-edged sword depending on the day and the team on duty.

    Pricing and value are another frequent point of discussion. A number of reviewers enjoy the quality and the experience but express concern about price points being high for everyday meals. Comparisons to other regions or other restaurant concepts yield remarks that the menu can feel expensive, especially for families or when ordering multiple items. Yet even with the higher price tag, many guests feel the experience is worth it for the quality, the specialty popovers, and the gluten-free options that are hard to find elsewhere. Some diners acknowledge the crowding and hustle as part of the trade-off for the memorable food and service.

    Altogether, the Popover Eatery and its sister concept deliver a distinctive and appealing breakfast and brunch experience that many would happily repeat. Guests consistently praise the star of the show - the popover - along with the robust gluten-free and vegan offerings and the high quality of breakfast fare. They arrive for the dependable eggs and the bakery delights, stay for the friendly service and the inviting atmosphere, and often leave with plans to return soon, sometimes even naming a future visit as a quick return trip or a weekend staple. If you're looking for a place with standout morning options, strong gluten-free credentials, and a lively dining room, this spot is worth a visit - and you'll likely find yourself coming back for the popovers and the crowd-pleasing breakfasts that draw locals and visitors alike.
