Beautiful quaint Gourmet Market. LOVED THE CHOCOLATE COVERED CARMELS.Carrot layered cake was so outstanding there was hardly any left before I could take picture! EXCELLENT. Berry cookie was Great.Bhani mi sandwich was a delicious take on our favorite Vietnamese sandwich.No enough meat on Roast Beef classic, but still okay.
We thought the food and atmosphere of C Salt Gourmet Market was very good.They have gluten-free options to include bread, tortillas, and bagels. They were able to also look into the ingredients of those items to check for other allergens present in our group.Other than making a mistake on our order (which wasn’t a big deal, but still happened) we were only disappointed by how many things they were out of. They were out of GF bread, a smoothie flavor, and a type of sandwich.Lastly, the lobster rolls seemed exorbitantly expensive. Would have loved to have been able to have one.
Coworkers and I used to come here all the time but can no longer justify returning because of the repeated slow and mediocre service and lunch sandwiches/wraps that keep getting smaller. Bummer because we work nearby and love to grab lunch but no one likes feeling gypped on an 11 dollar wrap. Pic of a buffalo chicken wrap with tons of lettuce but just one over cooked tender that was only on one side of the wrap. Too bad.
We used to love this place, but something changed in the last few months. It went from being an A level experience to a D level overnight. We gave it another chance after the 1st bad meal we had (bagel sandwich) and ordered the burrito instead (who messes up a breakfast burrito??). We should have hit McDonalds instead. The staff is nice, but their hearts clearly arent into making good food.
We made this our every-morning stop for coffee while in Cape Elizabeth for a portion of our honeymoon. Delicious breakfast options, great coffee and teas. Conveniently located, and the service was great!
This place is exceptional! Found it 2 years ago on our annual trip to Maine. Food terrific - order in our out and sit outside and enjoy a breakfast muffin! We come back yearly to have their home made English muffins. Unfortunately, with staff shortages they were unable to sell extras from their bakery rack ( usually bring home 4 packages for the freezer) But try the breads and blueberry muffins - yummy! They have a nice wine selection and full salad selection to take out also. Coffee is wonderful. Hopefully after this horrible pandemic, the baking staff can more help and I can stock my freezer again! Thank you staff - the young people were lovely.
Very tasty place all kinds of good food. We stopped for lunch with the whole family. They serve breakfast all day so one of us got avocado toast with tomato and a fried egg. It was very tasty.
$10 for a bag a pretzels! BEWARE. Highway robbery and tourist trap. Also, sandwiches look about half the size they should be (small sandwiches for ants!). On a positive note they had decent ring dings. If prices become more reasonable I may consider returning.
Cute place, nice service. The Surfside smoothie is good. They barely have any vegan options on the menu which is really disappointing especially since they have a lot of ingredients that could make legit vegan sandwiches etc. I ordered the avocado toast and added tomato and it was pretty pathetic. Dinky toast with a few slices of avocado and very not ripe tomatoes. Extremely disappointing in general (my sister and I didn’t even want to eat it) but especially since this is one of the only vegan options on the menu. The wait was long as well especially considering the quality of food we got. Would really like to see more (and better) vegan options (ex: plant based cream cheese for the bagels to name one).
Loved the fresh English muffins and breakfast sandwiches. The cookies we bought were very good and soft. I just wish the teenage staff was a bit friendlier to make the experience better.
Only thing gourmet about this place is the prices. Repeated incorrect orders. Good coffee and smoothies.
Super deli with lots of great choices. A little pricey. Good choice of baked goods too. Located in Cape Elizabeth not too far from South Portland.
Good food and drink. Nice place to sit outside.
Flavorful sandwich combinations. My husband had a chicken pesto sandwich with fresh mozzarella on rosemary foccacia and I had turkey with Jack cheese, marinated roasted peppers and pickled red onions on rosemary foccacia. A little pricey though.
Very disappointed with the tasteless Mac and Cheese. The lobster was delicious, but since most of the plate was Mac and cheese it wasnt worth the price.
Service: 5 StarsFood Quality: 5 StarsAmbience: 5 StarsSo, it doesnt matter if you live in Cape Elizabeth (if you live in town and havent been in the place, youre really out of touch) or traveling on Rt. 77S: Drop by.The outside tables/chairs are amenable to a larger group and the inside continues with social distancing and masks.The place is a combination between Cheers and Dean and DeLuca---down to earth, but cosmopolitan as well (try the extensive wine selection while youre visiting, too).Personally, 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)....and frankly, whether the staff member is a teenager or seasoned vet: they are attentive and kind.
Locally popular place for quick eats along with fun shopful of items for gifting or treating.
The food here was excellent and very close to both 2 Lights State Park and Crescent Beach. Little bit pricey but food and smoothies were good.
I have ordered from here over a dozen times, the food is pretty good, not great but some options are yummy. Friendly staff. Clean and organized on the inside.
Food was good. Selection was also good. Very clean and neat. Our cashier was a little grumpy
Ive had a handful of sandwiches from C Salt. The sandwiches are hit or miss but the ones that hit, are really good. This market is pricey but convenient after a day at the beaches.
Love this place. Breakfast sandwich is the Best! Coffee never disappoints. The best English muffins Ive ever had.
Great place when on Cape Elizabeth. Want more home made English muffins. Can we buy them anywhere!
Cute gifts but $18 for a fair turkey sandwich was too much.
The lobster rolls are delicious!!! Theres a gift shop as well . They have a great wine selection to.
Awesome place, very diverse menu, prices very fair, nice vibe in and out
My husband and I are in the process of moving to the area and stopped by after a long day to grab some dinner at the suggestion of a new acquaintance. We ordered a chicken salad wrap, a roast beef sandwich, and a bar of blueberry swirl cheesecake. The car was absolutely silent as we ate. They did not skimp on the meat, and the cheese and chipotle mayo were perfectly proportioned, I could taste it in every bite. The cheesecake was somehow light and rich. Service was wonderful, timely and friendly. We will definitely be frequenting this little spot often!
Love this place! Cute, clean, friendly service and the food is delicious! Save yourself the disappointment and dont get anything with chocolate (especially the brownies and chocolate crinkles) because you will NEVER find anything better or even equal. Seriously, the desserts are amazing!
Dont go for the lobster rolls, go buy 6 whole lobsters for the same price as what you get on a hotdog bun. Chicken was dry, would recommend finding elsewhere.
Awesome cafe and bakery! The bagel sandwiches are so delicious and made with love. Coffee bar and bakery selections are on point. Great stop for breakfast after visiting Portland light house.
Great food but somewhat expensive
Stopped in for lunch and enjoyed the food
The food is of good, consistent quality but if you are expecting quick deli counter service youve come to the wrong place. Expect a consistent 20-30 minute wait for a simple breakfast sandwich. The kitchen is exceedingly slow at food preparation although they seem to be amply staffed. Dont come here if you dont have time to wait, wait, wait.
We love C Salt! Its our weekend go-to -- the English muffin breakfast sandwiches are such a delicious treat!
Quality ingredients, poor preparation. We waited about 25 minutes for two sausage, egg and cheese on an English muffin breakfast sandwiches and a smoothly.... 25 minutes. When we got the breakfast sandwiches, the eggs were over cooked (crispy) and there wasn’t much cheese so an overall really dry breakfast sandwich. As my partner stated- if they spent less time cooking the eggs it wouldn’t take so long to make the sandwhiches. However, the English muffin and sausage alone were quality ingredients. The potential is here- just needs some tweaking. Smoothie was good
A simple sandwich can take anywhere from 20 to 30 plus minutes for them to make! Inconsistency is a major problem I have been there several times had a fantastic sandwich then three days later its horrible and takes 25 minutes to make.This place could be great, instead its mediocre.Their curry chicken wrap has miniscule amount chicken, its mostly lettuce, for the price theyre charging there should be a large amount of chicken.Extremely slow service, it takes 15 minutes to make a simple sandwich.Update: phoned in a sandwich order, they told me it would be 10 minutes, when I arrived it was 20 minutes, sandwich was still not done, it took them over 30 minutes to make a buffalo chicken wrap and they didnt even make it the way I asked them to.Thats it my last time going there.
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.
Great market and delicious sandwiches to order. Best steak and cheese Ive ever had
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.
This is a great place to get a very holistic and healthy lunch or something for dinner.
20 minute wait for a bagel? Come on.
Best breakfast sandwich ever
Got a chicken pesto sandwich. It was solid, ingredients seemed fresh,but it wasnt too flavorful.
Ok where to start. I thought Cape Elizabeth had plenty of places where to go and have a coffee but this is not true. Thank god the only place in this village is C Salt and the food their has been good. The place around 5 pm is empty. The girls are helpful. A little price but well if there is no competition this is to be expected.
The food is really hit or miss. I’ve tried a variety of their items. Sometimes the desserts are good.
I love this place so much! I make sure to go out of my way and make the drive from Portland because their food is so yummy! Especially their breakfast sandwiches and smoothies! Im a big fan! Im surprised they only received a 4.4, they deserve higher!
LOVE their smoothies! Its so nice to have a healthy, quick and refreshing smoothie without driving into Portland and dealing with parking there. Highly recommend
A nice upscale food shop. Rave reviews about the lobster roll. I had a excellent Bahn mih sandwich which could have used a touch more heat. We would stop again for sure.
Cutest place. Delicious bakery and coffee. A little gem
Great place. delish food an nice people working there
The menu is extensive and innovative. The ambience is calm and comforting. The deli has delightful items for your consumption. If you order from the menu be aware that this is not a fast food market. It may take a while to have your order individually processed but it is be well worth the wait. The employees are friendly and attentive.Update as of 8/26/19. My wife and I decided to try their lobster roll. It is expensive and it took some time to prepare them. BUT it was well worth the wait and expense. These were, by far, the best lobster rolls we have ever had!!! and the meatiest!!! The lobster was perfectly cooked. The roll (also the tastiest we ever had) was brushed with butter. There are no other ingredients ... they would just be a distraction from the best lobster roll I have encountered.
Great sandwichs and amazing salads. They do do gluten free which works for me but I dont need to worry about cross contaimnation so cant speak to there practices there...
1st time there and what a nice place. Great variety of local foods, crafts and beverages. Gotta try the Grasshopper Brownie...yum! Dark roast Hot coffee was a welcomed addition.All of the employees were very nice and helpful!Check it out!
The Food, Sandwiches & Desserts are the best anywhere. Trust me, you will be impressed, everything fresh and very friendly staff . Terry
What an excellent resource in a rather small town not far from amazing sea views and parks. The food was fresh, upscale and delicious. Presents more like a deli than a full service restaurant. You can eat in or take out. Definitely not to be missed if you are in the area!
Really great place w/one of the best lobster rolls ever
Location : easy to find, and notice from vehicle. Its a big cottage like building. With a lawn area to the side and parking at the back.Ambience : indoor and outdoor seating available.They sell : coffee,snacks - Salads, cakes, muffins, chips amongst other food items .( Breakfast menu also available.),Winesbags,decor items - wall hangings etcCrockeryGood place for a quick snack or breakfast.
Fresh food, made with care. Interesting selection wine & beer. Very good choice lunch or dinner. Good, sincere service
This place is aggressively fine. Breakfast sandwiches are great. Coffee is tasty. But generally it’s a little less good than you think it will be, and much slower than it should be. They also mess up orders not infrequently and I feel like one of the employees is kind of inexplicably aggressive. There really is no other sandwich option in the area, so you’ll go here and walk in and thing it will be great! And sometimes it will be. And sometimes it will be just fine and then sometimes it will be a legit bad experience. Never know which it will be.
Breakfast sandwiches on an English Muffin are among the best I have ever had. Time to make it could be faster, but the wait is worth it.
Very good breakfast. After a weekend stay at the Inn by the Sea we had breakfast at C Salt. Food was great, we had breakfast sandwiches and coffee. Servings were large. Prices were way out of line, it would have been less expensive to get a similar breakfast at a full service restaurant near by. The food took a very long time but the atmosphere and food quality made up for it. No real system for order pick up, food is called off auction style after it is ready. Home made English muffin breakfast sandwich was filling and delicious. I would recommend it, despite the prices and slow pace it was very good.
Amazing food and all sorts of goodies. Bring an appetite. Best lobster rolls. Awesome cookies. Comfortable atmosphere.
Best sandwich ever!!! Delicious 😋😋
Sandwich was awesome, even though it took 20 minutes. But they were extremely busy for a holiday weekend.
Great food. Excellent service.
This place is a diet destroying delight. Forget counting carbs and weight watchers points. I guess just abandon hope of eating less than 2000 calories. If you can accept that much, the food is great. Their Italian style sandwich is a dumpster fire. But if dumpster fires taste like creamy pesto and finely sliced meats...I LOVE dumpster fires then. We caught the staff on a slow day. However they offered us a tasty cookie as thanks for waiting longer than normal. Make it a point to stop in and try something at least once.
Really cute little store/Cafe with a very home-like feel! I loved the avocado toast with sea salt, the breakfast sandwich with ham (fresh made english muffins), and the ginger blueberry smoothie with added protein. The atmosphere was very welcoming. Highly recommend!
Nice place for breakfast. They have gluten free bread you can order with your breakfast sandwich.
Of the two times we have stopped by, I cannot say enough good things about the little things we have tried so far. My wife and I shared a sandwich and one salted chocolate chip cookie the other day, and both were exceptional. The manager at the counter, Victoria, was exceptionally sweet and fun to talk with. As well as being the wizard behind the sorcery of the recipe for that sea salt chocolate chip cookie. Today we stopped in for what both my wife and I agree is the best breakfast sandwich we have ever had. Made on there homemade English muffin, fresh cracked eggs and good quality cheese. I would give it more stars if possible, but I guess I will just have to settle for a Rock Solid 5 star review.
Ever wonder if the food in the display case tastes as good as it looks?? At C Salt, the answer is unequivocally Yes! Made to order sandwiches are also great. Try the Cheddar Avocado Wrap.
We discovered this place on a trip to vape Elizabeth. Went back tree times it was so good and convenient. Friendly service, too!
Whether you are looking for a quick sandwhich, a healthy salad, a decadent grab and go/sit down breakfast, local crafts/goods, local beer, an eclectic array of wines or simply just a sweet great, C Salt has it all. From breakfast to lunch and all things in between, the food is as it says in the name, Gourmet. The best part is, you dont have to pay a gourmet price! The facility is clean, well kept and the service comes with a smile and warm welcome. Whether you are a local or a guest to the area, C Salt should be on your list to check out.
Clean and friendly. Didnt buy any thing but the store has wonderful items.
Very slow service, been here multiple times over the last few of years and it is never very busy & the service is always very slow. Food this time was not even warm when they brought it to the table.
Great lobster roll. Loved the ambiance and feel of the place. I would definitely recommend this place for a quick bite.
Not a bad place to grab a bite. The food itself is reasonably tasty, though the portions are not large and the prices are a bit higher than one would hope.
Love this place. Wonderful deli items and much more. Reasonable prices and super nice staff. Also has indoor outdoor seating!
Coffee great baked items, a variety of Maine gifts. Take a break stop in and enjoy a sandwich, a huge rice crispy treat, or a delicious coffee.
Love this place! Everything we’ve ever eaten there has been excellent. We look forward to our trip to Cape Elizabeth every year, so we can go to C Salt!
This market has everything you need with coffee, food/smoothies, an awesome beer selection and lots of Maine themed things to buy too. Outdoor seating and super fast WiFi.
Nice stopover for anyone looking for taste of Maine gifts. Great selection of desserts too.
Nice place to stop in Point Elizabeth. Sandwiches, fresh lobster rolls and seafood chowder on the menu. Other local and regional items for sale as well!
Great little spot. Service is a little slow but worth the wait!
Its a little pricey but always great food
Great sandwiches and coffee/bakery selections. Prices are a little on the costly side but hey, its Cape Elizabeth, youre paying for quality and it shows.
Best black moon ever and anywhere.
We got the lobster BLT, lots of lobster, but too much butter on my bun and it tasted slightly over toasted/burned. Super expensive to one sandwich was $25.
