Reviews for The Rochester Cafe & Country Store in Rochester, VT
The have a different variety of pancakes, but the fruit make it not full cook, so it not that good. It's like any brunch... restaurant but something I really like was they offers blankets and help people with it when customers sit outside Read more
I ordered breakfast sandwiches for my friend and me egg, ham & cheese for him and egg, bacon and cheese for me. We both... thoroughly enjoyed them. They were ready when I got there and the staff were very friendly. We will order from thereagain! Update, 8/15/22: I called in an order for breakfast sandwiches today (on a MONDAY, a supposed off day!!), and theywouldn't take my order because there are too many in-house orders. Recommend hiring more kitchen help to avoid this in thefuture so locals can benefit from your great food all the time as well. We locals are just as important to your business, aswell as non-locals. Thank you. Another update, 10/17/22: Now that leaf peeping season is over, I was planning to orderbreakfast sandwiches and home fries. I called at 8:15 and the recording stated you would open at 9. 9:00?? Really??? This is theSECOND time you have disappointed me. With those hours, and the fact that you probably don't offer take-out service on weekends,I don't know if I will ever be able to get breakfast at your Cafe. Thanks for dangling your delicious food in front of Mr andtaking it away!!! Please make your hours more convenient for breakfast!! Read more
Cute breakfast place with one heck of a scenic view. Food was decent, but we waited for 20 minutes for a table outside in the... cold (45 degrees) only to sit at that table for an extra hour and forty-five minutes before getting our food, even though weordered immediately. What a joke. I felt completely disrespected as a customer. From what other patrons were saying, this seemsto be a common issue here. My recommendation: If you cannot handle the amount of orders for the number of seats you have inyour restaurant, DO NOT SEAT PEOPLE. At very least giving a heads up that the kitchen is slammed and getting food might takeeven longer once you're seated is expected. I will not be returning here anytime soon. Read more
Me and my partner had the best coffee here. It was so good we turned up the next morning not realising they were closed that day... and I can't possibly describe the sheer heartbreak we felt seeing the 'closed' sign. Go get the coffee. I love the coffee. Goodcoffee. Read more
Being a group of 14 is never easy to manage for a restaurant at the peak hour. Well, the hostess and our waitress managed this... with Brio. I never experiment such efficiency. Everything has been so well? very friendly? warm welcome? quick service? verygood food (the best Philly Cheesesteak for a very long time). A little mistake with the salads that were corrected right away.Fries are very good as well (and I?m picky on this). I definitively recommend! Read more
I?ve been a loyal customer at the Rochester Cafe for years, and my family for decades, but we will be giving the cafe a pass in... future. A manager was extremely rude to me. They made me cry, which has certainly never been my experience there before. I?mgiving three stars rather than two or one, because the food was and has always been wonderful, and the staff was and has alwaysbeen completely lovely and excellent. The truth is, I?m heartbroken. We?ve made a point of supporting the cafe as much as we canduring the pandemic, and have been so relieved to see it survive. It?s been one of my happy places in a dark time. I truly careabout it. That?s why I brought up a concern in the first place, a concern that I?m quite sure was never heard or understood. Iwas met with defensiveness, and eventually with contempt. I finally gave up trying to communicate, went out to my car, and burstinto tears. I felt so unheard and dismissed, like my attempt at communication had been turned into an ?I?m right? contest thatthe other person was determined to win. It hurts to be made into an enemy when you aren?t one! I hope the cafe will continue tosucceed, but they have thoroughly lost this customer. Read more
Solid 4.7, very nice place to stop if you're going tourist in Vermont and trying to stick to the two lane roads. Friendly... service, very clean, lots to look at... servers were polite and professional. If it's nice the outdoor seating is the way to go.Would strongly recommend. Read more
