OUR STORY

Welcome to our twenty-fifth season! In 2001 we first opened our little cafe and we have worked diligently to make it a friendly, cozy, family run eatery providing fresh food, some Perkins Cove history. A place where everyone feels welcome. We love our customers and are rewarded with the smiles and compliments we receive everyday! If you are one of our wonderful returning customers, you will notice the small changes over the years, but the two things that never change is our commitment to serving the best breakfast in town and having the friendliest, most accommodating staff! We are fortunate to be able to maintain a great deal of our seasoned, faithful staff who are working to continue their education, make a better life for themselves and their families, and just to have a little fun. 

       Jenn has been with us since day one! She continues to teach full time, while still spending her summers with us. Melissa, another seasoned veteran, always with a big smile on her face, is back and balancing time with her husband and two sons. Louise, although busy raising her four beautiful children, is ever so dependable and always a pleasure to have on board. Alyssia, our coffee connoisseur, helps out while also working another job. Halee is back and is working hard to bank a little money so she can go back to school this year! Izzy has finished up her third year of high school and Chrissy joins us again from Bulgaria.

       Behind the scenes are the guys that really make it happen! Let’s face it, you’re here for the FOOD! Jeb’s right hand man, Carlton, always has a smile on his face. He has been with us forever and we so appreciate his hard work, passion, and commitment to the Cove Café. Mark is back again, helping out wherever he can!  As we get into the season, look for some new front and back of the house staff joining us too!

       Kevin will continue at the cafe in all areas, but he is going to try to cut back to spend more time with his family. Along with teaching, he is coaching soccer and lacrosse for his kids teams and these are years he just can’t get back! In between sports and school activities, Kevin’s daughters, Lilla and Virginia, will join their dad in helping out at the Cafe! Finally, and most importantly, we welcome back our niece Rachel this year. Rachel has spent a lot of time working at the cafe over the years and is stepping in so that Jeb can move further into retirement!

     Together we will continue to work hard to provide you with a wonderful dining experience, but when we close the door at the end of the morning, we will be enjoying life and family! We hope you do the same!
