Charming little spot in the middle of nowhere. Get this! - Homemade biscuits smothered in sausage gravy and topped with a nice runny sunny side up egg. This dish was so perfectly homey and filling on a cold snowy day that my plate was zestfully clean when I was done. Creamy, rich and perfectly peppery seasoned = country comfort! I must also mention, coffee the way it should be, dark rich fresh in a nice ceramic mug. read more

A must go! The food was DELICIOUS and the staff was incredibly friendly. I found this place on Yelp when we were road-tripping from Newburgh, NY to Niagara Falls, Canada and am so happy we stopped! 6 of us ate there and all of us loved our food (that never happens! Haha). We couldn't decide between their pear or apple pie for dessert so we got both and we still can't decide which our favorites were because we liked both so much! If you happen to be in the area, you've got to make a stop here! read more

It has such a beautiful atmosphere and the staff is so sweet. Some of the best and most creative brunch food. I can't wait to come back.

The perfect spot for a bite in sleepy Deposit. Loved the atmosphere and home cooked brunch hosted by George and his crew. Highly recommend their Banana Bread French Toast special and daily baked goods! But get there EARLY for your best chance to taste these delights before they run out. read more

This is a great place. Food is great and definitely fresh. Little pricey for the area for breakfast.

Butterfields...Wow...This place is absolutely fantastic. My wife and I have been to Butterfields around 8 times now and every time we go there we are amazed by the fantastic service, the quality of food, the quantity of the food. Butterfields is a quaint little eatery that absolutely amazes us every time we stop in to eat. The food is the freshest aaqn read more

They have an artisan take on traditional brunch items. The biscuits and gravy were very good (I'm a southerner, and usually disappointed in northern attempts at this dish). The banana bread French toast was to die for, and you likely might if you're diabetic like me. My kid is a picky eater, and they fixed him scrambled eggs and biscuits, which he devoured. We'll be back next chance we get. The place is small, so come early. read more

This was our annual trip for the Maple Festival in the Catskill Mountains ... so we headed to Deposit New York and went to Butterfields Cafe for lunch. As soon as we walk in, I knew this was going to be a special treat for all of us. The food was outstanding and the owners added a touch with the decor and service. This is a must stop! We plan on going back very soon ... read more

We received marginally bad service here, though, the food was redeemable in many ways, but not enough to overcome the surprisingly bitter attitude of the manager, who can't come to terms with small problems, as they were. Our meal took around ninety minutes, from the time we entered the cafe until we left. The place was barely half full, on a Sunday for brunch. We were the only table that sat down for over a half of an hour span. The food then took over an hour to arrive, and our order wasn't even complete, with our six year old daughter's French toast the held up item...and that took an extra ten minutes. You could tell what the buzz is about, the fare was fresh and rather nicely prepared. But the meal experience quickly became even more of a letdown. One unfortunate anecdote was our bagel with "blue" in it...a small patch of what looked suspiciously off, we sent it back, thinking there was mold. That's when the true colors, as it were, were revealed--- a manager came out, and needlessly, and forcefully at that, seemed to take this very personally. The gentleman came to our table and curtly informed us that the bakery which they get these bagels from also produces a RAINBOW bagel, and that's where the "blue" is from...no apology, or warmth and appreciation for our patronage, but we definitely received what felt like a stern lecture, and then the statement "so, are we done with this now, huh?" as an in-your-face coda to his grumpy swan song, and an even quicker, abrupt exit. Whoa...did that just happen like that? So, in the end, as three tables came in after us over that hour and change, it just seemed the place was overwhelmed...like you wonder what might happen if there WAS a true Sunday brunch rush. Sometimes, people have bad experiences at good restaurants, and that's what this seemed like. We have since been called THE WORST CUSTOMERS EVER when we posted a respectful, but negative review on Facebook, so it seems unfortunate and rather unprofessional that a restaurant actually blames its customers when they have a bad or negative experience, but we felt it proper to post about such, since that's a RED FLAG for dysfunctional treatment through the customer service, then the management's lacking response to genuine problems customers encountered. Eh, plenty seem to think this place can do no wrong, so even if it's just to prove how human they are, providing our experience and not attempting to belittle them for petty reasons will hopefully come in handy for some who understand how the real world works. They surely don't...but we truly hope everyone else can find a better experience for quality food in a good town...this place made us feel uncomfortable and bad about our (post-restaurant)experience read more

Excellent food and desserts. I will be sure to stop back as often as possible! Great brownies! Great coffee!

Don't go there even that the food is okay, it's very overpriced for the portions. $3 for a strip or two of bacon. The fruit was already spoiled and couldn't even it. A juice is $5. I ended up paying $65 for my three kids and I. They do not allow any animals inside, I asked if I could sit outside on the porch because I had my dog and he said he did not serve outside. So why does he have a cat running around inside the coffee shop? A very rude way to manage an establishment and I thought the tip was already included in the payment of the food. When I was already outside he came yelling at me asking for a tip, telling me "this is America" and I ended up giving $10 more, so altogether my three kids and I ended up paying $75 for just a breakfast! read more

Probably the best breakfast I have ever had! My husband and I each got the Sportsman's Breakfast. Was amazing! Freshest eggs and toast ever. We live about 25 minutes away and we will go out of our way just to come here again. read more

Food was great. Coffee was great. Bacon, eggs and biscuit all excellent. If this place was back home in NYC they would be waiting on line to get in. Owner seemed concerned that all was well. Will be back next time in town. Enjoy! read more

One star for being friendly. But the food was old and cold. Literally watched the "cook" take the food out of the fridge and reheat it. Then there was a cat that the (I'm assuming) owner let in from out side and jump all over the table step on my utensil and drink my disgusting tap water. It's a complete waste of money. But I'm sure they treat their "usuals" a lot better when it comes to food quality. read more

This place is great! We were visiting and ate here everyday. A few times we ate here twice a day. And don't forget the pie!

Just stopped on the way to NYC. Great little spot for breakfast or lunch. Warm hospitality and good homemade food ... like having lunch at grandma's house. Had the chicken salad sandwich on freshly baked bread. Breakfast options - served all day- more plentiful than lunch. I wish I had ordered the pancakes ... served at the table next to me, at least 1/2 to 3/4" thick! Worth stopping again on the return trip. read more

Saw it had great reviews and looked like a quaint place, so we decided to stop. Because we were traveling with our dog and cat in the car and it's summer, we needed the orders to go. When we got there, we saw a small handwritten sign that said no orders to go. Figured we'd go to the counter to verify that. A very rude man first ignored us, said no takeout and turned away - didn't offer to even see if we wanted to be seated. We'd have been happy with a sandwich given to us on a napkin. No need to ever stop back. read more

Wow what a surprise this place turned out to be! We were en route to Syracuse and stopped off for lunch. The food was wonderful. The place doesn't look like much from the outside but is charming inside. I had the sportsmen's breakfast. A huge plate with sausage, biscuits and gravy, home fries, and the freshest eggs I have ever had. My husband had the brats which came with a huge green salad and an enormous portion of homemade macaroni salad. We regretted we didn't have room for the delicious looking baked goods. This is now our go to stop when we travel Rt 17. Don't miss it! read more

It's a mom and pop operation, so if you come as a large group be patient. It's worth it. Quaint and laid back atmosphere. The food is delicious homemade fair, breakfast all day and huge salads. The service is super friendly. read more

A really welcome surprise in a downtown area that has a paucity of options. It's a great place to just sit back with a coffee or tea and take in the atmosphere. read more

We stopped by around 1:30 pm on a weekend and the service we received was so unbelievably rude and simply mean. We nearly had menus thrown at us. When we asked a question, the sever rolled her eyes. It was obvious that were were not welcome and they didn't want to be bothered with us. We left shocked at the treatment we received. We didn't do anything to deserve that. All we did was walk into a place to simply dine. Please don't treat your customers like that. read more

Wish I could go with zero stars .. inflated prices , mediocre food , rude owner and staff that seem bullied. Wish there were better options in Deposit ! read more

Great place to grab breakfast on a Sunday. Not your typical diner fair. My Tuscan omelette was great. My son loved his pancake, and my wife enjoyed her breakfast wrap. Service is friendly and welcoming. read more

As a relatively new addition to the quiet town of Deposit, George has outdone himself with this cozy and very country chic eatery. I went with the #1 favourite, biscuits-gravy-chicken sausage and an egg while my wife went with one of the day's specials, the zucchini omelet, both delicious! With fresh food and daily specials the menu is simple but flavourful. George also handles the cooking and Shirley provides warm and attentive service. My wife also raved about the egg salad sandwich she had eaten the day before when she discovered Butterfields. We will make this a regular stop when we are passing through Deposit and anyone driving I-86 (Hwy 17) should too. read more

What a little gem in the middle of nowhere. We were on our way to Seneca Lake and stopped in for lunch. The seating on the back porch was charming. The waiter was really nice and funny. I had the Roadhouse salad and my girlfriend had the chicken salad sandwich. The chicken tasted fresh(!) off the bone. Both were YUMMY! We also had fresh squeezed lemonade with fresh strawberries floating in the drinks. We liked it so much we decided to stop back on the way back down to Westchester. Great stop on the way upstate, highly recommend! read more

On Saturday my uncle and I stopped in at Butterfield in deposit. We always stop in there for breakfast before we head up to Binghamton. When you walk in to the cafe, you are greeted by the owner George. Every time we go there to eat, the place is always clean. My uncle had an omelet with ham and Gouda, with rosemary home fries, and homemade white toast. I had there sportsman's breakfast. These comes with two eggs anyway you wanted, homemade sausage gravy and bisects, rosemary home fries, toast, bacon, and sausage. The sausage gravy is the best thing they offer for breakfast. Also they have really good coffee. They also make cappuccinos, lattes, ice coffee, and a lot of different hot teas to select from. If you want a great breakfast I highly recommend Butterfield for breakfast. read more

We had the opportunity to stop by Butterfields for two lunches in three days. Our choices were the Roadhouse salad, veggie omelet, fresh coffee, homemade bread and muffin,home fries, and eggs over and we were not disappointed. Raven was an excellent server and we were able to enjoy the delicious food while sitting outside on their deck. This is a must stopover for anyone traveling along route 17 near Deposit. You will not be disappointed. read more

Had a quick dinner here on a Thursday night- owner greeted us warmly and we were given attentive service. Had a great dinner of shrimp tacos and my husband had the veggie burger - all of it was delicious and perfect portions! Can't wait to go back to try out the brunch! read more

Stumbled upon this place driving by and will now start making the 40 min trip here from home! Excellent service and food - homemade breads and jams were the best. Definitely recommended read more

Food producing areas like NE Pennsylvania are ironically decent food deserts, so we were very excited to see everyone on Yelp raving about this great cafe just over the border in Deposit NY. As everyone says, the place is gorgeously small with a divine balcony out back, food was a godsend and owners very helpful. After the lunch of chicken meatloaf sandwiches, quiche, superb tomato soup, fluffy pancakes and killer apple pie, we'll be heading back for dinner tomorrow night. Go out of your way to eat at this rare find. read more

Thank god for Yelp! Because it's the only way we would have found Butterfield's! Just fantastic in every way. Middle of no where Freshly prepared food with excellent quick service. Love the fact they serve Heritage chicken and local farm fresh dishes. A very pleasant stop on our way back from Finger Lakes. Loved the town too! read more

I should have known when reading the chalkboard upon entering that the list of things they do not do or allow leaves almost no room for a positive experience. I was made to feel that they were doing me a favor for allowing me to dine there as I asked a question about a dish. The owner/ manager went on the attack even though I was honoring his craft and the fact that it was his restaurant. He literally said that he's in the money making business when I asked for a substitution. Extremely overpriced, but then again there's no competition for him in Deposit and he clearly couldn't compete in Manhattan. read more

I'm only giving one star because the food is pretty good despite the horrendous service. The owner was very rude. We have spent a lot of money there in the past but will no longer patronize this business. read more

Quaint gem in a picturesque setting. Charm exudes from every corner with delicious food to match. The owner has painstakingly poured love into every corner. Big city boutique aura with the good manners of the countryside. A must-partake experience. read more

Great service. Eclectic look. Home made food lacking no flavor. Must stop by if in the area.

Looking for a place to have leisurely breakfast, my sister and I found Butterfields. Owner, George, is a sweetheart of a guy... sat and visited with us a few minutes and were soon feeling like old friends. The food was fresh and delicious, the coffee was just right. We will go back as often as possible. read more

Stopped here for a bite to eat with my husband and mom. From first stepping inside I knew this was going to be good. Such a friendly relaxed atmosphere. We all had the veggie omelet with home fries and toast. The homemade bread was delicious. We had a plate of toast on table to share made from this bread...mom ate most of it. Have nothing negative to say about this cafe. Oh...took home a mini loaf of banana Carmel bread...so good with my afternoon tea. read more

This was literally the best brunch i can remember. We had the ham and swiss omelette special and the pecan french toast brulee. Both highly highly recommended. Fresh and tasty and perfectly prepared. Unfortunately we were only passing through as we wish Butterfields Cafe was closer to home! read more

We happened upon this place on our way from Ithaca to Connecticut and had a lovely dinner. Thank you!

This place saved my neck after I drove out of Binghamton without feeding my wife a proper lunch (I had eaten later than she and convinced her we'd find a quaint country diner on the way home). Though they weren't on the menu, they did have gluten free pancakes. Under a little real maple syrup and butter, they turned out to be some of the best I've had. My wife had a delicious chicken brat, and she was thrilled with the pasta salad side. Very charming decor, clean, friendly staff. read more
