The Tea Kettle Restaurant

Tea Kettle in Old Saybrook is hands down one of the best breakfast spots around. Their bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches are always amazing, and the variety of specialty pancakes is unbelievable. There’s something new to try every visit. The biscuits and gravy are also a must; comforting, flavorful, and perfectly made. Today I tried the blueberry vanilla vodka French toast, and it was incredible: sweet, unique, and absolutely delicious. Their coffee and cold brew are consistently great too, which is a huge plus. They have a huge menu with many paleo or gluten free options as well. If you’re looking for a spot with delicious food, generous portions, and a cozy, welcoming vibe, Tea Kettle is definitely worth the trip!

This place is THE place for pancakes. It's a lovely little spot with nice outside seating. Their pancake menu is one of the most extensive ones I have seen. Ordered a Bloody Mary - it had nice accoutrements but lacked flavor. The coffee was delicious. I ordered the Meatlover Apple Pancake, Grand Princess got a S'mores Pancake and daughter got shrimp and grits. For "pancakes" what we got was a plate cake!! It was one HUGE plate sized pancake filled with all the goodness. Daughters shrimp and grits were creamy and well seasoned. Definitely a good breakfast spot!!

Heard good things about this place and their stuffed pancakes. Nice quaint place. Many pancake options and also healthy options like paleo, keto, and gluten-free . You can also order other items, and everything honestly sounds delicious. Ordered chicken and pancakes, which my daughter said was fire, home fries, and blueberry pancakes. My pancake came out almost as big as the plate. Everything was so delicious I decided to go give props to the chefs. The waitress I had was very on top of everything. She was hard working and was pleasant. This was a redo place n five stars to me.

We came here for Father’s Day after I heard they had gluten free and egg free options. My husband has a gluten allergy and my son has an egg allergy, which can make eating out challenging and sometimes more stressful than it is worth. However, that was not the case at The Tea Kettle our server was amazing and double checked everything. The tomato soup and grilled cheese were as good as they looked.

Amazing Pancakes and Cozy Vibe! Tea Kettle is such a gem! The pancakes were absolutely incredible — fluffy, buttery, and perfectly golden. You can tell they’re made with care and high-quality ingredients. The portions were generous, and the service was warm and friendly. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing breakfast or brunch — highly recommend the pancakes! 🥞☕️
