Description

Tucked in the heart of Cooperstown, this locally owned cafe is prized for excellent coffee, standout breakfast sandwiches (notably a Reuben egg sandwich), thin crispy pancakes and strong mochas. Friendly, fast service and good value make it a community hub for locals and travelers alike; vegetarian and dietary needs are accommodated on request. Expect crowds near nearby attractions and occasional service hiccups, but fresh food and a welcoming vibe keep patrons returning.

Decent place to grab breakfast either take put or dine in. It's one of few breakfast spots close to Dreams Park so it crowds quickly. That being said it was worth the line

Good food, delicious drinks, and top-tier service, all at a fair price. Great choice for breakfast if you’re in the area.

I've been visiting Cooperstown for the past 14 years, and I make it a point to have breakfast here at least once during my stay! The food is of exceptional quality, and the service is always friendly and excellent. Thank you!

Great little coffee/diner. Kids got omelettes that they said were a bit too cheesy. I got the jalapeño sandwich and it was delicious. Coffee is great.

Unpretentious, delicious food, and strong coffee. Staff is lovely and the vibe is old school and laid back. Will return the next time we are in town!
