We had a large group with hungry littles, during the busy morning rush. Staff were hospitable and very attentive. They offered to serve the kids first and made sure we had everything we needed. Food was delicious and well priced for the large portion sizes! I recommend the poached eggs on corned beef hash and pancakes, pumpkin if they have the special - they were mouth watering. And with real maple syrup - heaven! Coffee was hot and tasty. We were able to sit in the new tent extension with lots of extra space - that was a nice perk, especially with the kiddos. Highly recommend stopping by when visiting the Adirondacks. Thanks AMC! read more

I'd worked up an appetite at High Falls Gorge, eight minutes down the road. Got to Upper Jay and enjoyed a wonderful grilled ham and cheese, while others with me had meatloaf and various other sandwiches. Everything was great. Servers were polite and nice, despite having to run outside and inside for socially distant seating. They did a steady business while we were here. For dessert, we had the apple pie, which was also good. Word has it you can get breakfast or lunch AT THE SAME TIME which seems a kind of magic. read more

Everything is good, but the coffee is excellent!! And the staff is incredible!! Jim Madden read more

Beat little coffee shop in Jay. Food comes out quick, the staff are super nice and helpful. So service was great! I got the steak and eggs and I ate every bit of it. It's located right next to the ausable river. Definitely Recommend! read more

A bit of a hidden gem. Had breakfast here twice during my stay and enjoyed it a lot. Be warned, the omelettes are huge and I'm not a light eater. I ordered a side of home fries the first day and was not able to finish it along with the omelett. Unfortunately thanks to Covid, interior seating capacity is limited so get there early! The staff was great and everyone were wearing masks. read more

Coffee to go was good but to Espensive.It was only 8 oz.8 oz and 16 oz over $5.00 ouch but will stop again cause it was good.Staff was very nice. read more

Doesn't matter where you're from. Doesn't matter where you've been. This is the best breakfast value and quality you will find. I wish there was room for a 6th star. I've been for breakfast many times - they are highly consistent. Its the little touches and details - the fruit garnishes with your meal. You don't expect "presentation" at an Adirondack cafe yet here it is. The incredible cinnamon buns as a side. and TROUT! with a slice of pie! All excellent. Super friendly and fast service. Coming from downstate we are used to fast service. It is fast here too! Come hungry and get the fisherman's breakfast. When the bill comes you're left wondering if they forgot to include something. They also offer take-out - you can get your bacon egg and cheese to go if you are in a hurry. read more

This is a great place. The food is delicious and surprising affordable. The coffee, freshly roasted onsite, is superb, the best you'll find in the North Country. My wife and I live in Jay and love coming here to eat and see friends. This is basic breakfast and lunch food prepared exquisitely and presented beautifully -- comfort food elevated to whole nother level by a brilliantly talented chef. The waitstaff are friendly, efficient and accommodating. It is always a pleasure to dine here. read more

What a delicious breakfast spot! We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and price of the food. The French toast was thick, perfectly cooked and came with a yummy warm syrup. The home fries were exactly what I love, crispy, fresh and hot. Service was quick and attentive. It was truly a breakfast dream come true and I can't wait to come back. read more

Love this place! We had a lovely done-in breakfast. Got there at 7 and we were the only ones in the place for a while. Tables spaced out indoors, and they have a patio with tables outdoors. Also some picnic tables on the lawn out back. I had half trout with 2 eggs and toast. My husband had mushroom omelette. Both were great. We came back the next day for chicken salad sandwich takeout. This place is a gem. read more

Delicious breakfast. Large portion sizes. I really enjoyed this cozy cafe. Looks like they roast they're own coffee too. It was pretty good. Worth the cup. read more

If you're visiting the region, this place is a worthwhile stop. It's a breakfast/lunch place. We sampled this fish sandwiches, French toast, blueberry muffins, and coffee. Given how crowded Lake Placid can be, I'm glad we found this place. read more

Good food and service. Bought their coffee for consumption at home. But they have a strange system. When you eat there, they don't give you your check at the table. In fact, they don't give you a check at all. You have to walk up to the cashier, tell them that you want to pay for your food and they ask you where you were seated. Ate there twice and I had to do this both times. Why don't they give you your bill at the table like 99.99% of all restaurants ? Seems to add time to the customer AND the cashier. My time isn't as valuable as theirs. They're busy AH. read more

Simple breakfast foods cooked perfectly. One of the best breakfasts, if not the very best. Home fries, French toast, pancakes, omelets, breakfast sandwiches, steak and eggs ALL delicious. And lovely service. Amazing waitress - even understaffed, she kept her smile, attentiveness and great attitude. read more

We did a breakfast takeout while we stayed in Jay, NY. This was the best I have ever had in the Upstate and in some time. This is a family owned business I believe and they serve all so fresh! Definitely recommending it. read more

This place is amazing! The food is awesome, coffee is good and the homemade blueberry jelly is incredible. Husband gets an omelet and I get the BLT as I am not a breakfast person. Best sandwich ever! We always buy the jelly to take home every year. The prices are very reasonable as well. I could see eating here daily if I lived there!!! read more

Wanted to like this place but the food's mediocre and the staff is grumpy and discriminatory to anyone non white. Leave it to Adirondack Coffee to put the backwards in back woods. What a stereotype. Luckily there are much better options up the road with fantastic flavors and service. read more

Wonderful breakfast! Clean and neat restaurant!! Pleasant and friendly service!! Outstanding in every respect!! read more

They really adhere to the covid requirements and have a book of people who have entered into their restaurant. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and a side of home fries. Simple but great sandwich and the side of home fries are definitely enough for two people. Service was okay. They could be a little nicer. read more

A first class place to eat. Wish they they find A way to serve dinner. A Local Customer read more

Well, the service was good and it's a cute place... judging by the crowds we did expect the food to be a bit better though. The coffee was also nothing to write home about. The eggs reminded us of the Marriott breakfast and we were surprised how fast the food came out. Almost felt like it was pre made and just heated up. The pancakes were odd.... had some strange mineral taste to them or something I can't quite put my finger on. The fruit plate was really good and fresh, but the rest was not up to par. I know there aren't many options in the area but we much preferred the Country Bear diner in Wilmington. We preferred the food there by a mile. I do have to say the service was really good here but unfortunately the food left a lot to be desired. read more

We were seated right away- you actually seat yourself at any open tables. The coffee was okay for a breakfast place, but the mugs were super cute! I love cute mugs! My vegetarian omelette was also very flavorful. They had great prices for all the veggies included- and they had egg whites and GF bread! I really appreciated all the options! They don't advertise that they have GF bread but they do! It was very fast service, we were in and out within 35 minutes I would say. The interior was very cute, clean and a nice cozy rustic feel. They had some comfy leather chairs, outdoor seating for when it's warm enough and I even saw a play scape in the back for kids, what a great idea! Their menu included some interesting items like eggs, trout with apple pie on the side. I've never seen that before but it's interesting! read more

Delicious lunch and breakfast options. I had the hot turkey sandwich with mashed potato and gravy. Came with a side of corn and cranberry. Food comes out fast! Love the local coffee and cute mugs! read more

What an experience. On top of the mountain with a view even though it was snowing and chilling outside. They greet you with a smile, get to know you, makes you feel right to home. They have this amazing sautéed cheese mushroomed and minced onion omelette. I am a big fan of omelette. Also Hot chocolate, coffee, regular omelette and the best part of it was they had fried french toast, delicious crispy, sweet artisan sourdough bread french toast. Must try it. Amazing place also helped to guide the local around the mountain places to go. read more

Easter morning brunch. Fine coffee, excellent Eggs Florentine, superb service." In a very relaxed setting. Couldn't have asked for a better holiday surprise. Close enough for breakfast and/or lunch if I wanted to. And I want to. read more

You really can't ask for much more from this sweet little breakfast cafe in Upper Jay. We split the blueberry buttermilk pancakes with local maple syrup. I had the fresh pan roasted trout and eggs, and husband had an enormous mushroom omelette. Two coffees (they roast their own but no espresso or lattes here. Just drop). $40 including tip. Crazy good! read more

This place was recommended on a recent trip to the Adirondacks and it did not disappoint. The portions were great and prices even better. We ordered omelets all around and blueberry pancakes "for the table." All delicious; I'll definitely stop in on my next trip thru the ADK. read more

Best place in the Adirondacks for breakfast. Take the time to drive there whether you are in Lake Placid or Wilmington it is worth the drive. Crazy big omelets and hiker sized portions. 5 stars!!!!! read more

This is a good place for breakfast or lunch, owned and operated by a local family with a culinary background. It's on the former site of The Land Of Makebelieve, an early theme park that is said to have inspired Walt Disney to build Disneyland. As a vegan, I appreciate menu items such as veggie burgers and wraps. The coffee is good, too. read more

Never miss a pizza Saturday night - the best pizza around and always a new special that makes our day. Also great coffees and beers - everything one needs to live. read more

HUGE foodie reporting: this place should be FAMOUS for their sausage gravy & biscuit. They ruined the dish for me!! I can never order it anywhere else again!!!! The biscuit was fresh & had a perfect texture. The sausage gravy was thick, flavorful & not too salty. Every component of this dish stood out as special. Their in-house roasted coffee is an absolute delight. We also ordered their scrambled eggs, toast & home fries. Everything was great great. The restaurant itself is really cute. They just opened a few months ago so while it has the woodsie ADK vibe, it's all brand new and very clean. The staff was friendly & everything came out quickly. read more

Had to wait for about 20 minutes because it was a Sunday morning, but it was well worth it! I had poached eggs on toast with a side of home fries, which were done perfectly. My husband had the French toast, and I was a bit envious when I was allowed just a bite of it. Coffee was my choice, which has free refills; and he had an orange juice. Despite being completely packed, the sound was not overwhelming and the waitstaff was efficient. We enjoyed it so much, we are hoping to make it our weekly Sunday morning date! read more

Absolutely the best breakfast my family and I have had in a long while. McKenzie was our waitress and she's amazing we waited for nothing. If you are in the area it's a must go read more

This has to be personally one of the BEST BREAKFAST ever! We were visiting friends in Keeseville from Washington State and some of her local friends go to this cafe for breakfast everyday! So we made the 20 minute drive and the little cafe is in the middle of nowhere but it didn't disappoint. Everything was absolutely delicious and the prices are extremely reasonable. Their berry muffins and scones were very tasty. I am a baker and I had no complaints about their baked goods. The coffee is roasted right there on the premises and they served a dark roast the morning we were there and it was just perfect. They of course are following all the Covid19 guidelines and the staff wears and requests people to have their masks on. Tables are well spaced out and they have service in their patio. Their food servings were generous and the eggs were cooked to perfection. My husband had the biscuits and gravy and my friend had the trout with poached eggs. I just had fried eggs with toast. Very good! Service was good and prompt and all the staff is friendly. We'll definitely go back next time we are in the Adirondacks. read more

Stopped in for coffee after looking at all the beautiful fall foliage in the area and we were greeted by an atrociously rude lady that was working at the coffee counter. Simple questions like do you make latte's seemed to trigger her with rude responses. I also asked what type of donuts they had right now and she says "normal" and looks away. Such an unfortunate experience given we were just stopping in for a latte at a highly rated local spot. read more

Glad for any business that keeps the adks running. Not much in this area so it's good to have a place that doesn't require a trip to lake placid if you're near whiteface. Food is standard, American diner fare. Nothing more nothing less. Fast service and well perched near the Ausable River. Probably decent to sit on the deck in good weather. Portions are huge so if you crave large, filling, simple food; this is the place. read more

Excellent place to go to when up this way. My wife and I came in for breakfast and it did not disappoint. Coffee is strong and fresh, soft butter on the table makes spreading it on those awesome pancakes a breeze. I got the lumberjack and wow! For $26.50... that is a steal for what you get. Back in jersey, at the diner... the same breakfast would be over $40. But it is an incredible deal! The steak was actually quite tasty and cooked as I asked. My scrambled eggs were really good. I know... scrambled is scrambled but, these eggs were a velvety texture and the yellow was incredible! Pancakes were a 3 stack and the sausage was good as well. The home fried... remind me of a McDonalds hash brown... but you know it's real potatoes... but the flavor is near the same. Only ding... I asked for dry toast but it came buttered. No big deal. Oh and the apple pie that comes with it is actually really good! My wife got the hash and that was absolutely delicious. The poached eggs were perfect! I got a bowl of Cream if Wheat... brought me back to my childhood. In all, if you're looking to grab a bit for breakfast, this is a definite green light! Oh... and they have fresh donuts and fudge in the case for you know... extra motivation to hike the trails! read more

Lovely cafe/breakfast spot/coffee shop with kind staff. The food was delicious. Definitely recommend for those visiting Whiteface Mt.

Delicious and cute breakfast spot. The freshly made corn beef hash was sooo good. We also got the sausage gravy and biscuits and blueberry pankcakes. Those 3 dishes were highly recommended and didn't disappoint. The staff and patrons were very nice and welcoming. Glad we stopped here on our way home from Lake Placid. read more

We tried this place during our stay in Lake Placid, they were super busy on a weekday around brunch time and there was a wait, but it was no wonder when we tried the food, it was great and so was the service. We went back on another day, highly recommended. read more
