I've been banking at the Wells Fargo directly across from this little place for four months since moving to SD. Never paid attention, didn't even notice it.
Today, after a stop at the bank, I searched Yelp for the nearest breakfast places. Marvelous Muffins was conveniently located about 100' to my left...lol.
I had a yummy little bagel that was fresh and had a decent chew. They were out of everything bagels so I had a plain one. I don't know for sure if they were holding out on me...haha...(re: read a bad review)
The egg on the sandwich was whipped up and cooked on the spot...bonus. I asked for an Americano which they have listed as Cafe American. She gave me a cup with the espresso and a separate cup of hot water so I could make it less American if I wanted? Either way, I've never thought about it that way and it's never been offered to me that way; I enjoyed the option. I also had a blueberry bear claw and it was yummy as well.
Overall...Yummy
They have parking spots...bonus.
They have a small seating area but I recommend taking your breakfast down to one of the little parks in the area (I took mine to the Spanish Landing Park) and enjoy the views of the water on a nice morning while you devour everything in the little white bag. You might even see a seal, swimming in the harbor, like I did. -

Food yummy. Atmosphere lacking. If you want delicious food this is your place. It is small, simple and fits that bill. If you are looking for ambiance or a spot to relax and enjoy good ambiance this isn't the place for you. Take out is your best bet. Give it a try!

Cute little bakery right at the entrance of Shelter Island. Lots of free parking (lot and street) all around.
You can find all the usual suspects here: Muffins, donuts, bagels, coffee.
The daughter tried the peanut butter and jelly bagel. Sounds a little odd but it wasn't. It was fresh and tasted good.
Nothing fancy here and that's ok. Just honest, straightforward good bakery items. -

I actually go here for the breakfast sandwiches. I prefer the croissant with eggs, sausage and cheese. The croissant is so light and crisp. You get the full flavors of the sausage, egg and cheese with the croissant.
Like any bakery, is all about timing on whether the baked goods are on point. The fresher the better for pastries and baked goods. Most of the time the pastries and baked goods is on point. Once in a while I will run into a dry muffin. They have your typical donuts, rolls, muffins, etc. The triple berry muffin is really good here especially if its fresh.
This is a small place and has some seating inside. They have a few designated parking in the lot just for this place. They open early and usually close late noon time.
This is a small family business. The lady running the place is a nice and sweet elder lady. Some may find it a bit more expensive than your "big company" coffee shops. A whole bunch of big company coffee shops popping up around here. I try to support local family run business types when I get the chance. -

Love this place. Nice to stop by for a quick breakfast. My favorites are the blueberry muffins and the bacon, egg and cheese croissant. Everyone that works here is pleasant and sweet.
