C Salt Gourmet Market

Service: 5 StarsnFood Quality: 5 StarsnAmbience: 5 StarsnnSo, it doesn't matter if you live in Cape Elizabeth (if you live in town and haven't been in the place, you're really out of touch) or traveling on Rt. 77S: Drop by.nnThe outside tables/chairs are amenable to a larger group and the inside continues with social distancing and masks.nnThe place is a combination between Cheers and Dean and DeLuca---down to earth, but cosmopolitan as well (try the extensive wine selection while you're visiting, too).nnPersonally, the chili, avocado toast, and breakfast burrito motivate my return for various meals, but the freshly-made (never frozen) food will satisfy even the most discerning palate (and contrary to other views, the deli case has many vegan options).nn...and frankly, whether the staff member is a teenager or seasoned vet: they are attentive and kind.

Love this place. Breakfast sandwich is the Best! Coffee never disappoints. The best English muffins I've ever had.

I walked in for the first time thinking “wow this place looks awesome, everything looks super fresh, I can’t wait to come back even though I’m 30 minutes away I will travel just for this cute little cafe and I can’t WAIT to taste their food.” My experience left me never wanting to come back. Ordered two sandwiches, a smoothie, a lemonade, and some chips for 40 something dollars and left a 20 percent tip before getting our food at the register (something I wouldn’t have done ahead of time had I known) for a total of 50 bucks for a walk in cafe sandwich type place. Now we don’t mind spending 50 bucks on a seat yourself tip ahead of time place (that’s why we researched this place while in the area and decided upon it) but for those prices I’m expecting decent service and great food. We were told it would be a 20 minute wait, okay that’s fine. 30 minutes go by and “I think” I see what could be our sandwiches behind the counter and not getting wrapped into bags or what not but I’m not sure. I was going to give it a few minutes before asking because they seemed pretty busy at the time and I wasn’t even sure if they were ours, I saw what looked to be my sandwich but I didn’t know what my boyfriends looked like so I couldn’t say for sure or not if that was his and mine. After about 40 minute I notice the sandwiches are gone so I assume they were another customers and I sit and wait again because they are super busy. Close to an hour later I notice 3-4 groups of customers who came in after me (some even 20 minutes after) getting their food and leaving! At this point I asked about our food and they apologized (she was very nice about it and nothing wrong with that service at all) and said it will be rcoming right out. Came out shortly and my boyfriends breakfast burrito had burnt eggs and tasted reheated and my caprese had that gross sitting there for a while taste as well so we assume maybe it was our food that was ready 45 minutes ago but never called? (I sat in front of the counter the whole time waiting) I took a bite and threw mine out and he ate half before throwing it out of the window of the car. If that was the case for that price I would have rather either waited even longer than the hour and 15 minutes I was already there for new and fresh food or been offered a refund. Pretty upset because the restaurant really really looks like a place that has a+ food.

A true find! Two of the best sandwiches we have ever had, paired with a great to-go drink selection. Get yourself lunch and go find a hiding spot with beautiful seaside scenery to enjoy it.

Great market and delicious sandwiches to order. Best steak and cheese I've ever had
