McLain's Market Lawrence

One of the best matcha lattes in town and delicious baked good- staff is always so friendly

A 12oz coffee has eclipsed the $3 mark. If you get a 16oz it takes you over $4 with tax. TOO high! :(

I'm from the birthplace of McClain's in Waldo and love this place, but I've yet to go back since I first paid this much for a cup. Farewell McClain's, you will be missed.

Overpriced and ok tastes on pastries. $4.25 for a latte with NO flavoring is high. Flavoring is an additional 75 cents so you really pay 5 bucks for a latte. Everywhere else you usually get the flavor included in the drink price. Like a vanilla latte is around $4.25 anywhere else I go. Staff is friendly though.

The staff was friendly, and willing to discuss things in an engaged manner, but not very consumer-oriented beyond that (for example, ensuring you had proper silverware, creamer, etc, as those aren't necessarily easy to spot without a heads up).

For my iced coffee and danish order:
The danish tasted like uncooked dough with cheap raspberry jam spread on the center. It was without a doubt one of the worst pastries I've ever eaten.

The iced coffee was bitter and poor quality, and hard to make my way through. I was charged for flavoring, despite the employee being the one to offer it and informing me that it didn't cost extra when I responded to her recommendation with a question on the matter. (The overcharge was about 75 cents, iirc- it wasn't enough to make a fuss over, but felt really unfriendly given that I had made sure to ask on the matter beforehand, and had gotten a very clear answer of it not costing anything).

Side note, their iced coffee lids have a fragile plastic at straw hole end, so be careful about how you grab your coffee, as the entire lid will buckle at the slightest pressure if you touch it in the right spot. Not sure if that's something I can put on the restaurant but, all the same, spilling coffee on my shoes due to the lid giving way was something that definitely didn't improve my experience.

My companion noted that their sandwich was overpriced relative to its quality, and that their hot coffee was average quality at best. Neither of us plan to ever visit this restaurant again.

Ultimately, you've got a fairly stark looking diner-style cafe with subpar food and drink, at a high cost, with very wanting quality of service. I'm begrudgingly giving two stars on account that there was still room for things being worse (namely, if they'd had outright unfriendly employees and completely inedible food), but there's certainly far more room for things to improve.

On the bright side, you do get metal silverware here (as with certain other, more homey cafes), and that's always nice.

Everything was perfect. I like to spend my morning here when I'm tired or stressed out. Thanks for your great customer service.

Their food is always awesome. Their staff is always kind. I think the cold brew is actually just iced coffee but other wise everything is great.

I've heard people rave about it, but I was not impressed at all. I asked about spinach in the quiche and salad. They thought maybe it was in the veggie quiche, so I ordered the meat one. It comes w an arugula salad. I double checked and asked if it had spinach, they said it was just arugula. Great, I'm allergic to spinach, I'll have that. When I got my dish, the salad was half full of spinach. We also asked for the bacon on my son's breakfast to be crispy, it was simply greasy. I felt it was overpriced as well. The coffee was good. The cookie was fine. The staff seemed nice, but kind of clueless.

Today was my first time there for a wedding consult. Izzy took care of us and the cake was delicious! We are so excited for our wedding and are so happy to be working with McLain’s. They even let us take home our leftover cupcakes from the tasting. Very transparent about their prices and lots of room for personalization.

Edit: Our cake turned out absolutely beautiful for our wedding. The cake was also very yummy and the cupcakes and macarons were so cute!!

Friendly staff, overpriced and underdelivered food! $8 for a breakfast burrito that is half the size of a typical Chipotle burrito and came cold, I don't have high expectations but will not go to again if this is what to expect.

Update: promised a refund and never received one. The manager told me the kitchen purposefully gave me a half portion while charging me full price.

Worst biscuits and gravy I have had. Biscuit was cold, gravy was not warm and had a very strange taste to it. Eggs were overcooked, yet still cold, potatoes tasted decent, while still being cold. Pastries looked good though, but I will not be back to try them.
