The Big Bean has been our go to breakfast spot since we moved to Exeter a few years ago. The quality for takeout and dining in has declined drastically over the past several months. Six dollars for two pieces of sausage? A veggie omelette so greasy that it actually put a hole in the takeout box? Sadly, I think it's time for us to find a new breakfast joint.

The food is overall good, though not amazing. However, I paid $1.30 to add spinach to my Mac and cheese because I wanted a serving of a vegetable. I received maybe five leaves of spinach. I don’t expect eating out to be cheap, but if you’re going to offer vegetables as add-ons, provide a real serving and price accordingly.

The Big Bean is one of those places where you can taste the quality in ingredients being used. Never disappoints, always delicious and worth every penny.

*1 French Toastwas okay for the price and *Side of Bacon was cooked perfectly, I am a bit concerned about the lack of a tamper seal on my drink. Theres a hole in the lid to drink out of and there was no sticker or seal covering it
