Bottom line: The setup is nice and the staff friendly. However the service is very slow, the food is mediocre and in the end they only accept cash but they did not post this fact clearly when we got in.
The pro's: One of the only places you can go to when you are in the Cairo (NY) area - usually camping. The setting is nice. It is clear that though has been put into the design, in order to make it seem like a friendly cabin. The staff was very friendly.
The con's: The food was mediocre. The eggs were actually good (sunny side up), but the omelette and pancakes were bland. In my opinion an omelette is not an egg folded across vegetables. The vegetables should be incorporated into it (in their favor I would say that this is quite typical to many places in the US. But it does not make it right. Also in their favor - they did not smother the egg with cheese). The pancakes were bland and there were no options to spruce them up (such as chocolate chips or blueberries). Next, the service was very slow. Finally, having to pay cash in the end, in a place that is quite far away from normal ATM's is not pleasant.
Had the Goin' Bananas (French toast ) and it was very yummy. It used simple syrup - which is sugar melted into water, which I only know because I asked. Â My beaux had an omlette and it had cheese crisped on the outside - he said it was phenomenal. Â Our friend had the feta cheese omelette AND the strawberry and banana waffle. Â He was expecting it to be better actually. Â So 2 of 3 were more happy than not. Â :) Â When we left we bought some milk, muffins, and rolls for our anticipated grilling. Â They also sell things like maple syrup and other items...
The folks working there were really nice too!
Just happened to stumble upon this place one morning as we were looking for a breakfast place. It is a gem. Very well run and they offer some very good breakfast specials. The staff are incredibly attentive and gracious.
Well worth the effort to seek out if you are in the general area.
A recently opened/renovated cafe/diner that serves good breakfast food and a reasonable price. Â I was there on 1/30 and was very happy with my 3-egg omelete with tomato, peppers and ham ($6). Â My buttered rye toast was very fresh and the home fries were very tasty. Â I also like the style and neat appearance of the cafe. Â Even the bathroom was very clean. Â Overall, if I am ever passing through this area again I will make a stop here. Â Keep in mind they only serve breakfast and lunch and they don't except credit cards.
