Bright, art-lined counter for coffee, breakfast eats, sandwiches & house-specialty sticky buns.

This place was great, and honestly, if I were a local, I would become a regular. The place is simple. The staff is on top of things when you go to order. I got a breakfast BLT sandwich on sourdough. Best sandwich I’ve had in a while. It had a lot of flavor, and all the ingredients were fresh, and bacon was cooked to perfection. The hot coffee was fresh and is a self pour situation. Additionally, they have some pastry’s behind the glass (rasberry chocolate scone was sooo good) that are packed with flavor. The staff checked in to make sure things were good.

This is such a neat hole in the wall…it down a flight of stairs. The baked items looked really delicious. My mother had a bacon molasses cookie. She said that she couldn’t taste the bacon. We had lunch at Isabelle’s because the menu looked really great (and it was). My parents had a bowl apiece of Barley soup with a packet of Oyster crackers. They both said the soup was warm and hit the spot. I could see Barley being drudged up out of the tomato based broth. I had a gobbler sandwich. I selected it to be on sourdough bread. The stuffing was warm…paired with the cool lettuce…yum. The turkey was thicked carved (not deli) with little cranberry sauce. Served in a basket with wavy chips. The drink selection was not vast. I picked an organic apple juice…it was juice…I could taste the organic?. When I give the atmosphere a low score. It is really just a simple little place. It was kind of loud. The person behind the counter deserves a 6th star out of five. She took orders, was making food, and serve it table side. The best was her smile. The food and the service are really what makes this place…oh and the gingerbread whoopee pie. Worth a visit!
Update: Went back for breakfast. I had the Breakfast BLT. It was delicious with a nicely cooked egg. I was right about the baked goods. I had a maple walnut scone. It was excellent

The place was decorated very raw. Some paintings from locals are marked with prices in hundreds of dollars. Basically a sandwich place. No way it can be rated 4+. Limited bakery items. No croissants etc. ordered Cuba sandwich and small coffee as it says $1 on the wall. Didn’t notice that I was given a 12-oz cup and charged $3.
Overall, bad experience.

We’re passing by the area and stopped by for a quick breakfast after reading positive reviews online. A true gem in Freeport. Such a positive attitude, quick service and delicious food makes this place a definitely go to if you are in the area. Highly recommend and will be back next time around.

The service was very fast even with quite a bit of people waiting to order when we arrived. Food was great- we had breakfast sandwiches. Reasonably price for quality food. Our hotel wanted to charge twice what Isabella’s charged and my guess it would not have been nearly as good.

It’s a lovely, artsy, cozy spot with delightfully friendly, and helpful service. And of course the food is delicious, that’s why we came back. Great breakfast food, pancakes, burritos and more, even during lunch hours.

We had our first visit to Isabella’s, today, after visiting L.L. Bean first thing on a Sunday morning (apparently they don’t ever close). The atmosphere of Isabella’s is pleasant and very coffee shop-like.
Isabella’s has a great selection of both cooked breakfasts as well as pastries that can be eaten either there or at home. I had the biscuits and gravy + two eggs and my wife had the french toast with potatoes. Both dishes were good, but a little lacking in their respective ways. For my dish, both the eggs and sausage gravy were great but the biscuits were very dense and were almost more like scones than biscuits. My wife’s complaint about her dish was really the same in that everything was great but the bread was just very dense.
It’s not really clear as to whether or not you’re supposed to bus your own table when you’re done or if they do it. We finally did find a cart with multiple tubs for sorting dishes, trash, and recyclables. That was fine as we didn’t mind. What was a bit troublesome was that honestly the restaurant seemed a little on the dirty side the bathroom was very dirty. Please don’t misunderstand, we enjoyed our breakfasts but there were some things left to be desired about Isabella’s.

Good cheap food. Lost two points because your hours are inconsistent and not accurate online. If you’re closed on Wednesdays through the winter you need to report that.

My family just stopped in for lunch and all 4 of us loved our sandwiches and drinks! I just had the freshest, most delicious curry chicken salad sandwich on soft (but not crumbly) gluten free bread! All the veggies included on the sandwich were perfect. The blend of spices in the chicken salad was very tasty! There is a good variety on the menu for everyone. My 16 year old, my husband, and also my nephew loved their choices. The service was fast and very friendly! It was very obvious to me that the staff puts care and thoughtfulness into creating their food! I am definitely planning on going back when we visit Maine again!

Second time visiting Isabella’s and it’s just as fantastic as I remember it. Small cafe with amazing food and baked goods. We stopped in for breakfast this morning before heading back home to NJ. I had the Eastern omelette with amazing whole wheat toast and my wife had a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on an incredible ciabatta roll. We also ordered a grilled blueberry muffin. With butter added, this was insanely good. Staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming.
