The Rochester Cafe & Country Store

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… very good 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!

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 we ordered immediately. What a joke. I felt completely disrespected as a customer. From what other patrons were saying, this seems to be a common issue here.

My recommendation: If you cannot handle the amount of orders for the number of seats you have in your restaurant, DO NOT SEAT PEOPLE. At very least giving a heads up that the kitchen is slammed and getting food might take even longer once you're seated is expected.

I will not be returning here anytime soon.

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

Quaint country breakfast spot. Set back in time, beautiful town, building and area. Food and staff were great! Perfect location to grab a meal heading to Sugarbush for skiing.

I don't know that in the grand scheme of things, this is a 5-star breakfast stop. However, in Rochester, Vermont, it sure as hell is.

Listen. It's breakfast. I think there are 2 things to keep in mind when you consider breakfast in a locale like this:

1. Is it reasonably good?
2. Is the service good?

The answer to both of these was yes, and in fact the service was very good. The guy who waiter on us both days was great to talk to, and went with all our jokes. For sure an easy guy to like and we enjoyed the banter with him.

The food was breakfast food. Not much to add there.

Coffee was actually above average for a place like this.

The Rochester Cafe is an amazing place to eat! It has a great breakfast and lunch menu with healthy and tasty items. The baked goods and desserts are delicious. The staff is fun and helpful; they make everyone feel at home. They also have gourmet coffees and a small gift shop with candies and candles among other things. I highly recommend timing your trip on route 100 so that you are hungry in Rochester, Vermont.

A buddy of mine and I were camping in the National forest nearby and decided we wanted to warm up and have an indoor breakfast. It was a good choice, I had Eggs Benedict and he had the Vermonter both were cooked to perfection and the service was great!

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 there again!

Update, 8/15/22: I called in an order for breakfast sandwiches today (on a MONDAY, a supposed off day!!), and they wouldn't take my order because there are too many in-house orders. Recommend hiring more kitchen help to avoid this in the future so locals can benefit from your great food all the time as well. We locals are just as important to your business, as well as non-locals. Thank you.

Another update, 10/17/22: Now that leaf peeping season is over, I was planning to order breakfast sandwiches and home fries. I called at 8:15 and the recording stated you would open at 9. 9:00?? Really??? This is the SECOND 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 and taking it away!!! Please make your hours more convenient for breakfast!!

Amazing food in a old time country store. Friendly staff who are relatable and enjoyable to chat with. Amazing food, especially breakfast. Hashbrowns are a must!

Excellent service and the food is delicious, I highly recommend this place.
I definitely going back again !! This is the best restaurant around the area !! Really worth it.
