The soup of the moment was a cream of potato with bacon and cheddar that was velvety, not gluey, and interspersed with soft chunks of potatoes and very generous bits of pleasantly chewy bacon. If this soup sampling is a foretaste of the batches to come, be sure to get a cup alongside your sandwich.
With its cheery atmosphere and casual counter service, Maeve's is more than just an overflow room for its ever-popular next-door neighbor, the Anchor Fish & Chips. The simple fare is suitable for any meal of the day, and you won't feel weird parking your laptop and working at the small bar in the front window.

At weekend breakfast, the person who had helped us at the counter a few days before was hanging out and playing Scrabble with a friend on her day off. Mary Colon greeted the table to the left of us en Español, exchanging quick hugs on her way back to frothing milk and running food. It's obvious that Maeve's staff is loyal, and I believe its customers will be too.
