The Rochester Cafe & Country Store

We sat on the porch to eat. We had butternut squash soup, a bigger, chicken sandwich and strawberry/peach pie. Wonderful food and wonderful wait staff. Please visit if you are passing through!!

My sisters and I had a wonderful experience here! Erica our server was absolutely lovely!! Thank you for having us at your adorable cafe.

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’m giving three stars rather than two or one, because the food was and has always been wonderful, and the staff was and has always been completely lovely and excellent. The truth is, I’m heartbroken. We’ve made a point of supporting the cafe as much as we can during 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 care about 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. I was met with defensiveness, and eventually with contempt. I finally gave up trying to communicate, went out to my car, and burst into tears. I felt so unheard and dismissed, like my attempt at communication had been turned into an “I’m right” contest that the 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 to succeed, but they have thoroughly lost this customer.

Scrumptious food and excellent coffee served up in an historic setting. And the specials! I was lucky to get their hot maple-glazed donut…

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. Good coffee.

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.

Great burgers, good Philly cheese steak, although did like the cheese they used. Maybe there are options…

This cafe is perfect. Sit at the lunch counter and soak in some local flavor. Amazing food. Fantastic pies!

Had the most Mazing maple latte. Food was great and service was as well. We want to try their breakfast when we come this way again. Lunch was worth the stop.

Great food! Friendly service!
