Tomato bisque soup and turkey sandwich combo.
Murray W.

Definitely a step above most museum cafeterias, the Fallingwater Cafe has a nice view of the foliage around the tour plaza and a mix of sandwiches, soups and salads for your pre- or -post-tour fueling. My girlfriend and I had a bite here as we had a drive back to Pittsburgh to look forward to and we wanted to not have to wait to eat until we got back to out hotel and then downtown for our targets that night. I went with the soup and half sandwich combo, choosing the tomato bisque and the turkey sandwich. The bisque smelled fantastic walking by other diners, and it lived up to that. It was hearty and well seasoned, and tasted almost exactly like a lasagna. Win! The turkey sandwich wasn't quite so great. While it had lots of moist, tender turkey, it was noticeably lacking in other toppings other than a few lonely pieces of baby spinach, and could have used more to have a broader flavour profile. I also highly suggest the Jarritos sodas they have there, my Mandarin one was great.

After the marvel that was falling water, this was a nice, university cafe style place that we went to for lunch. Since I go to a university, there was no novelty in this and portion sizes were smaller than I am used to. The portions though- they were great! I had a portobello goat cheese sandwich, and my friend got the day's soup which was a bean, cabbage, onion soup with pork. They were really good but I am glad I got the pumpkin pie and he had to go back for seconds on the soup. This place fits in with the other things in the visitor center of fallingwater, like the museum and gift shop. It was fun to eat there. The price of the items was not over the top! And given that there is nothing else around that area for miles and miles, this was a good place to be stranded in.

Nice views

Couldn't get a ticket to Fallingwater so we went to Kentucky Knob instead for a tour. Came here just for cafe because I remembered it having fresh choices at a reasonable price in lovely surroundings! Not disappointed

Not a bad place to eat, a bit pricey tho. And seeing as how it was the only place for miles, it's convenient.

Great food and I know it goes towards the house but $25.00 for half a toasted cheese and cup of soap was a little pricey.

Very long wait for very expensive and not very good meatloaf sandwich. Disappointing given the excellently run tours.

Do they have vegan options at the cafe?

As of June 2018 they had one vegan option - a spiced chickpea wrap.

We got the signature breakfast sandwich, a turkey sandwich, and a chili hot dog for our brunch. Also you get a 5% discount for paying in cash. In addition to the turkey sandwich ($8.5) we decided to add a drink and side to make it a combo ($13). However, I l was very disappointed at the apple slices which is why docked an extra star. The apple slices were tiny and super soggy. On top of that, I'm not even sure if the fruit was washed. I was hoping the darker color stuff on the surface was a scratch or something, but I was literally scratching dirt off. This felt pretty unsanitary and I kind of lost my appetite. The turkey sandwich was also very small, so probably plan to order more if you need to eat more to get full. It's probably best to skip the side and drink combo and rather order another item off the menu in lieu of the side/drink. To be honest, the sandwich isn't really worth the price for its small size. The signature breakfast sandwich was pretty interesting since instead of bread, they use a glazed donut around the eggs, sausage, and cheese. It's a mix of sweet and salty, so it may or may not suit your tastebuds. The food here was decent but nothing memorable so 3.5/5. I guess I'll round up my overall 2.5/5 rating (after taking into account the dirty apples) though.

Sometimes it would take 30 minutes just to get waited on and sometimes another 30 minutes just to get your food. Yikes! I've had several different sandwiches and meals from here over the years and they were all pretty decent, but nothing ever made me say, WOW! Would I come here again? Yes, but only because I always enjoy having drinks outside and the bartender(inside) the last time I visited was super awesome.

We stopped here while in the area on Memorial Day. The whole town was busy with tourists and people getting away- but this place truly was in over their heads. We came here for an advertised Bloody Mary that had a bunch of toppings etc on it. I bet you can't guess what happened. First and foremost there's a wing shack outside where people order and then an inside area bar where people order. Since I didn't see any mention of regular food, we went to the inside bar to order- where there were paper menus. After a long wait bc there was only one girl taking food orders while two other people behind the bar did little to nothing, there was a wait. We were then told the advertised Bloody Mary was only on certain days but the special one today had to be ordered at the wing shack outside but they sell out immediately. Ok? I ordered a steak sandwich with sweet potato fries, and a Sierra Mist. Why? They were out of Diet Pepsi. They were out of regular Pepsi. Then we were instructed to go up on the deck and simmer in the 90° shade and wait for our buzzer to buzz. As time passed, and people I saw order after us got their food over and over, I decided to ask just what in the world was the issue. The girl at the window said "you got a burger right?" No. "Oh then it should be out soon. Sorry." 40minutes. 40. Then I get my meal - and I probably could have scrounged up more steak at a vegan grocery store than what was on my bun. I'm sorry "artisan roll." At the very least the sweet potato fries were standard. I barely ate half and threw it away and decided I had enough fun there for a lifetime. $43 bill for 45min of pure suffering. How, as a business, are you that unprepared? No drinks, out of your special "immediately", refills are warm cans and not even what you ordered. Brutal. I probably wouldn't ever try this place again - but hope you have a better experience.

There is a deli in the back and fridges to the right with pre-made meals and hoagies (Wavies). We had seen positive reviews of the pepperoni logs and stopped by. We were promptly greeted and asked if we needed assistance. We indicated not yet, but that we might get a sandwich. We incorrectly believed you could get a variety of sandwiches. More inquiries followed and instead of looking around we were shown what food they had available in the fridge area. We got three pepperoni logs and an italian wavie, which is a whole loaf of Cellone's bread The pepperoni logs were under proofed, under filled, and lacking flavor. We even tried removing some of the bread to see if that improved the roll. Despite our efforts, it unfortunately did not. The accompanying sauce also lacked flavor. Perhaps we had a difference experience than others, because the logs were far from the best pepperoni roll we ever had, even just within town!
