Josie’s Corner

Outstanding menu, interesting specials and really good pricing for my larger family. Definitely will give them another try… and another and another. Wife told me «great find.»

This place is a place that never lets me down, great service and even better food. There French toast is in my top 5!

I just moved into the area and found this place via Unilocal.I was not disappointed. I went for Sunday breakfast and although the place was packed we were able to get a table promptly.
I ordered the standard eggs, homefries (was given a choice between onions and no onions which was awesome because I shared my homefries and the person I was with didn’t like onions) bacon and their homemade rye. The food was excellent, priced fairly and the service was great. I will definitely be going back.

I love little «Mom & Pop» style breakfast /​brunch places like this. Tucked away along side of Route 9 (x21; Mill ST.), if you sneeze you would drive right by it. The warm salutation and atmosphere, as well as the food is outstanding. The service is very friendly and fast. Coffee is a little steep if you only have only one cup ($ 1.95; «bottomless»), but it was decent and flavorful, not too strong… I got eggs, homefries (actually breakfast potatoes) with a light paprika style seasing and with sautéed onions. There was an up charge of $ 0.75 for the kielbasa, but I somewhat expected that because of the type of meat it is. I also noticed they have a small, laminated «Specials» menu with two sizes of «Biscuts & Gravy for a reasonable price as well. That in and of itself gives me a reason to come back!

Found this place through good Unilocal reviews. My girlfriend and I spent the weekend in this area for a wedding. On the day after the wedding before heading home we where looking to get a good breakfast. My girlfriend has a gluten sensitivity and this place had gluten free menu items. They even make their own gluten free breads and muffins. I had the cheeseburger omelette which was awesome. My girlfriend had gluten free cinnamon French toast which was delicious. My only complaint is the seating situation. They don’t have system set up for seating. You walk in wait in a line and as tables open up you sit at them. Most of the table seat 4 but there are some larger booths that seat 6.

Josie’s Corner is one of the most amazing hidden gems in Berlin. I have never been disappointed with an item on their menu. Their Eggs Benedict has the perfect ratio of hollandaise sauce to English muffin. Their hash browns sautéed with onions will have you on Cloud 9. Best of all, you can request to have their homemade bread –it is a must!

I love Josie’s and would go here every day if I could. It’s always buzzing, but all of the servers are super friendly and attentive. It’s a great spot! Plus I love their homemade bread for toast! It’s delicious and you can count on it to be every time!

As I have been doing since I returned from my winter stay in Florida, I have been revisiting many of the restaurants I have breakfast at in Connecticut before I left for Florida in January. Just this week, I went back to Josie’s. And Wow, although I liked it in the past giving it FOUR STARS, it was so good this time, that I upgraded it to FIVE STARS. The egg white omelet with my usual tomato and onions was delicious and moist.
And I did order Cinnamon Swirl toast for my toast. No extra charge. The two pieces were large. Could have had them for lunch, but I couldn’t wait for lunch., they look so good and they were.
Service was excellent. My coffee cup was never empty.
I will go back and back and back.

Perfect, no-​frills, welcoming breakfast place. It gets crowded on weekend mornings (for obvious reasons), but the service is relatively fast and the food is good.

Wicked good food, wicked friendly staff. Real maple syrup and reSonable prices. Yum!

When I first walked into Josie’s, I had the same feeling that I have whenever I enter a longstanding local diner for the first time: that all the regulars are watching and judging me. I sat at the middle of the bar, which was empty except for one fellow at the end, and my feeling was quickly done away with by a sweet, friendly, and extremely capable server named Abby who was working her first day there.
I came here for the «house omelet», an Italian-​style creation with ricotta, mozzarella, pepperoni, and marinara — not a combination that you see everywhere. It tasted like what you’d expect, a cross between a pizza and an omelet, which is to say, excellent. Ricotta needs to find its way into more omelets. The home fries, however, were the unexpected star, and as distinctive as the omelet. When I ordered them, I was asked if I wanted onions, which was a first; I said yes, of course, and they took an extra minute to bring me a fresh order. Very glad they did, because these particular home fries benefit immensely from freshness. The onions were tender, sweet, not caramelized but the next best thing, and providing so much flavor that for once I didn’t need pepper, ketchup, or anything else. So delicious were these home fries that I had trouble tearing myself away from them to return to the omelet! (Abby informed me that she hadn’t yet tried any of the food, so I gave these an enthusiastic recommendation.)
Tip-​top experience, in both food and service. You know you’ve found a gem of a place when you leave in a significantly better mood than when you arrived. I intend to go back and work my way through the rest of their omelets. And then I’ll move on to the Benedicts.

This little diamond in the rough was an amazing find. The food was great and the service was impeccable. Our waitress was extremely nice and was very attentive. I recommend the omelette and if you’re gluten free… the cinnamon swirl French toast was, to use a Mike Myers quote…“like buttah”.

I highly recommend this quaint stop off. I was worried coming in from NYC about finding some gluten free eats. Well this place does not disappoint, I was in heaven. Cinnamon swirl gluten free french toast, A-​mazingggg! I also had the roasted red pepper bread which was equally as good and of course nibbled on the boyfriends omelet. Our waitress was beyond sweet and accommodating. If I lived closer I would be here all the time.

We came here as a result of the Unilocal reviews, and let me say this place definitely lives up to them.
Friendly staff and the food is fantastic. Home made bread, home made French toast, great kielbasa. I can not wait to come back here!

LOVE THIS PLACE! My favorite local breakfast joint! They are so homey and friendly! A comfortable environment and the food is delicious! The pancake parfait is awesome! Try it! They come to the table with a warm smile. I always leave satisfied!

Another home-​town jem. It’s a type of small breakfast spot that has first-​come-​first-​serve counter seats and tables packed into their floor-​space. We sat at the bar since it was immediately available. Coffee was good. Our place at the end of the bar meant we were offered coffee often. They have homemade breads as an option for their meals. The flavors I remember, were honey, cinnamon swirl and rye. I ordered the cheeseburger omelet with home fries with onions and home-​made rye. I really liked my omelet, the bacon within it was thick and a good balance between crisp and medium well cooked. The hamburger cumbles tasted like a good burger. My life-​partner got eggs; scrambled, hash and cinnamon swirl toast and home fries without onions. Their portions are huge. The plate came packed with a huge omelet and 4 halves of rye bread, buttered. I ate my fill and had 2 more serving to eat the following day. I wish the home fries would have a little more crispness, but that is the cooks prerogative. Another review mentions the home fries being crisp so it may just depend on the cook for that shift. The ladies working at, near and by the counter were friendly and clearly had friendly relationships with their regulars.

Really nice breakfast place with a hometown feel. Right off the highway, they have lots of space but this place is usually packed on weekends. They bake their own bread as well which fills up the restaurant with a wonderful aroma. I definately want to go back for some more breakfast.

Came here with friends around 10:15 on a Sunday morning and we were about 4^th in line– not too bad!
Enough spots opened up at the counter and no one in front of us wanted them so we hopped right up!
My favorite breakfast/​brunch items include something with hollandaise or corned beef hash– Josie’s had the best of both worlds– Irish benedict — the canadian bacon is replaced with corned beef hash! I was pumped.
Our waitress was friendly and helpful and the food came out quickly.
My Irish benedict was as good as I could have hoped for. The home fries, I can’t forget about them, they are filled with onions and garlic. They were the best home fries I’ve ever had. NOM.
I really wanted to polish off my plate but I couldn’t quite get there. We had a beer festival to attend so I had to leave some room!

Josie’s is terrific and perfect hometown breakfast/​lunch place for a town like Berlin. Everyone else agrees with me as there is always a line to get seated. My only time there was a Friday morning and it was packed! Luckily, a seat at the counter was calling my name. I ordered the hash stuffed omelet with home fries and homemade bread. Despite being busy, my waitress was attentive, sincere, and my coffee mug was constantly being refilled.
My suggestion is to not be cheap and upgrade your toast to homemade. Your taste buds and tummy will thank you.
However, I have to say, I prefer Berlin Fare.

I was on the hunt to find a breakfast joint that I have not been to before and that is how I found Josie’s Corner. All the raving reviews and comments got me all the more curious.
The ambiance of this place may not be very appealing but the welcoming nature of the waitresses will make you settle in right away. The menu is good and has the right amount of items where you will not get confused.
I ordered the Josie’s Omelet and I have to say, it was AMAZING with the pepperoni and the ricotta and the marinara sauce. I asked for the homemade Rye bread with my order. The homemade breads are so moist and soft and very delicious. My friend ordered the egg benedict and the hollandaise sauce is so rich. He switched the english muffins with the homemade honey wheat bread and it was a good decision.
We also ordered for a portion of corn beef hash and a slice of cinnamon swirl french toast. I was disappointed with the french toast. It did not have any flavor than that of the cinnamon and it was absolutely not sweet.
Also to keep in mind, the wait is long to get seated over the weekend. Overall, I like this place and will definitely go back.
