Found this gem on my way home from Sugarbush. Simply a great experience. The food was perfect and the atmosphere fit perfectly in the gorgeous town. I made a friend while enjoying my meal (Hey Ziggy!!!) thank you for the great conversation. One of the employees last day was on this day and it seems bittersweet for her. You can tell this is a home for most patrons. Keep doing what you have been doing there. 10/10

We came here a couple of times on our way through VT. Good spot for some good food! Food was fine, but just nothing spectacular. (We felt it was a little expensive for what we got). Staff was kind and attentive. They have indoor/ outdoor seating as well as a cute shop to buy local goods and treats.

My wife and I stopped for very delicious maple lattes while driving through the state “leaf peeping”. What an adorable cafe! So warm and welcoming with extremely friendly service. The outdoor seating and food options looked fantastic. We can’t wait to stop in here again for a full meal sometime in the future!

Very nice place! Old and quaint building, decorated comparable to a Cracker Barrel but cooler! The waitress was real good, food and drinks were amazing! The whole place had a small town charm about it, coworkers chatting like true friends, everybody very friendly. And the store part had some cool little things, locally made stuff, maple syrup, etc… We’ll just say, if you’re traveling through the area or vacationing like we did, definitely stop in!

My husband and I have been going to This restaurant for the last 25 years, but haven’t been recently due to hectic schedules. We came this past weekend to celebrate our anniversary in this wonderful town and were very disappointed. To start, you have to order, pay and tip before you sit down. How do you expect a tip before you even get your service? Then you don’t get service, you have to collect your own silverware, find your own table and bus and clear your table at the end.This isn’t a fast food establishment, this is a place you go to enjoy a nice breakfast that your paying almost 50 bucks for 2 people. The only service that we got was bringing the food to the table where at this point you should have just had me pick it up at the counter. Then I wanted a glass of juice but decided against as it would entail waking back up to the counter and paying with my debit card an additional fee rather then being able to just add on to my bill. Let’s talk about the food, tastes good, not 50 dollars worth (this includes tip). The pancakes are a quarter the size and have as good as they used to be. The idea that we wanted a wonderful vermont county store experience and it felt like I was in a Chick-fil-A is laughable. Good luck, who’s ever idea this is to try and cut cost, it’s not to late…you will lose repeat business with this plan.

Great cafe spot in Rochester Vermont. Everything we had for breakfast was exceptional. I recommend the pancakes and the bacon is so nice and crispy but still soft. The muffins are freshly baked also. They have some good breakfast drinks too! Service was a little bit slow but I think they’re just busy and a little understaffed. The staff is super friendly though and very
accommodating. Highly recommend if you’re in the Rochester area and wants some good breakfast !! They’re also serving pizza from Thursday to Saturdays that we are going to have to try. It looks delicious.

1. Extremely overpriced. $5 for a single pancake!
2. Food all tasted like reheated frozen Cisco products.
3. Guacamole on the “Ole” was a weird green playdough.
4. The Ole was cold in the middle and tasted terrible.
5. The Summit omelet mostly tasted like frozen spinach. Multi grain toast was good.
6. Pancakes were crunchy (how??)
7. Hot chocolate tasted like powder, but whipped cream was good.
All in all, very disappointing. This used to be our tradition every Winter Solstice, but the food is so bad and so expensive that we’ll have to go elsewhere. Too bad.

My family and I have been coming here since the 90’s and ALWAYS had fantastic service! Well this year (October of 2025) there’s is a bare minimum of service! We spent over $80 and was never told we have to go and make our own coffee…they no longer bring it to you…and you have to wait in the lobby to choose your meal before being seated so you have to stand in the way of the door where people come in while trying to choose what you want to eat all while trying to get out of people’s way…and they also do not have silverware on the table so you have to go get yourself but yet they will leave a random jar of sugar on the table when you have to leave the table to make your coffee…sad to see such a great restaurant back in the day slowly falling off…even McDonald’s will bring everything out to you for you and that’s fast food…this place is supposed to be fancier but poor service…this will be the last time our family comes to eat here ..we will go up there road into Hancock at the other diner for now on….

The Rochester Cafe & Country Store has been on my list to check out for a while! I finally stopped in and had a wonderful Mocha with a mountain of whipped cream! Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.

My dad has Parkinson’s disease and we often take him for drives and out to lunch, the Rochester cafe is one of our favorite places. It’s accessible, so he can use his wheelchair or walker, the staff is very accommodating when we arrive, and they food is always fresh. But my favorite is their espresso! Finally a safe haven away from lighter roast espresso! They use traditional dark roast espresso AND they don’t drown their cappuccino in milk. There is no other place in Addison or Rutland county that does both to make an authentic cappuccino. Please never down grade your espresso beans to a lighter roast! You’re one of the last cafes in the state to use dark roast.
