    Our first visit to Castine. We were excited to check out Maine Maritime Academy for my son who is exploring higher education after high school next year. I found The Breeze while walking, looking for coffee and found a most glorious breakfast. If I do say so myself, I am the corned beef queen and when it comes to corned beef, I try it everywhere I go in search of THE BEST and I finally found the BEST I’ve ever tasted! The spices and essence put into even breakfast is just crafted perfection. This gem of nook has a truly unique blend of Hawaii and Maine so much so they even have reservations for breakfast! THE freshest food and with a hint of a taste of the islands and most pleasant, personable service chatting with the chef and her husband who have a deep-seated history as well, here in Castine and MMA. Plenty of friendly conversation and local suggestions to offer too at The Breeze. Snow, the chef, from Hawaii is an asset to Castine, truly brings a little piece of the islands with her and her craft in cooking to this cozy little corner of Maine. She and her husband and their food surely is a breath of fresh air. By the way, the seafood is fresh off the boats, sourced locally and everything is cooked and served with pride. We can’t wait to come back for lunch! Thank You. - Jen and Jackson

    Interesting cafe style restaurant with good seafood and sandwich choices. Lobster roll was excellent, loaded with lobster which was dressed with homemade mayo. Turkey & ham club was very tasty, also with homemade mayo, and a good portion of smoked bacon. Shared tables inside the restaurant part of a store. Hawaii themed decor, and pink Hawaiian sea salt as the condiment. Great lunch choice. Served by the owner who was very chatty.

    Really enjoyable meal in a charming corner location and excellent service. We were visiting and were so happy we explored this town. The maritime academy was nice as well as the lighthouse and views from the drive around.

    The Breeze and Castine Variety Store had an old Maine charm to it. The sign calling it a restaurant is a bit misleading as there is limited seating available.
    We arrived a bit early during the lunch hours, got seated quickly and enjoyed excellent service. My companions both felt their lunch choices, one a lobster roll and the other a cheeseburger, very good. My choice, the Deluxe Haddock was good but for the price a small portion of haddock smothered in lots of lettuce, tomato and bun.
    There are no public restrooms inside. The closest are down the hill on the town wharf, not too far away but inconvenient.
    I'll definitely go again but order something different. It's an enjoyable place to dine. The food is good and excellent service.

    The food was not great. The clam chowder was literally a bowl of warm milk with 2 pieces of potato and zero clams. The seafood combo was a small piece of fish and 3 shrimp, though cooked well it was certainly not worth $30
