How do I love thee, SeaFolk?, let me count the ways....
Jacob and Madrona who own and run this small treasure are as nice as anyone you will ever meet; ditto their crew and their four sons, some of whom help behind the counter sometimes. MJ, culinary magician, is head cook, but the term fails to do her justice. I'm not a coffee drinker but everyone in these parts raves about their different brews which is a consistent theme when one is talking or hearing about SeaFolk. Ok, then there's the food itself- consistently superb pastries AND the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had in my life. Before I write more, I should mention that I have no reason to write a glowing review like this (the first time I've ever been on Yelp) other than the fact that this place is extraordinary. Anyway, then there are the jewels in their crown, their sandwiches.....just amazing. Truly. Words fail. I have a small gallery directly across the street and I am tempted to offer to buy your meal for you if it doesn't live up to every word of this review. (but my gallery crew says no to this idea!) So, there is one less than sublime thing to point out. They are building a larger kitchen as I write this, in order to expedite orders more swiftly. Right now orders can take 15 minutes or so if they are busy, which they often are. Having said that, "busy" in Rockport equates to charming. They overlook the harbor that Charles Kuralt called "the most perfect small harbor in America," and the vibe is, well, the epitome of what's so completely unique about our town. I know this all sounds overly gushy, but it's all true. So help me. Check it out.
