Inside

I love this place. Be careful you don't miss it and drive right by. So warming and inviting inside with great service. Every thing is homemade including the sauces. Local cheese and vegetables. We had a berry danish which was by far the best danish I have ever eaten. Cheap too! In the finger lakes? This is a must stop!

Focaccia French toast? Sign me up! This place is what we would call a hole in the wall serving up amazing food! It is very unassuming located right off the highway but we were blown away not only by the food but by the service. The staff was so friendly and kind and ensured we had everything we needed. We had the focaccia French toast which was a 12/10 and the breakfast sandwich which was an 11/10. Idk when I'll ever be back in this area but if I ever am I shall be back.

Here is a must stop while in Hector. Great ambiance and the staff was super friendly. House made grape juice and BBQ sauce were both amazing. We got the French toast, quiche, breakfast biscuit sandwich, and the hot mess. The French toast and quiche were top tier. We sat out side and it was a beautiful day. Highly recommend stopping by here on your next trip.

We almost missed this little gem as we travelled to Lodi for a weekend away. I ordered the ginger marinated fried chicken thighs (gf) and they were delicious. Hubby ordered the pulled pork and it was also good. Nice smokey flavor. We also got a whoopie pie and coconut custard pie for dessert...also delicious. Very nice people working the counter. I highly recommend!

Outside

This place was simply amazing! My wife and I came up for a long weekend - it was our first time up in the Finger Lakes. Outside of the great hiking, waterfalls, and wine, this place was the highlight. Fresh pies and treats constantly coming out of the open kitchen. Amazing smoked trout and eggs for breakfast! Definitely stop here for breakfast.

Yummy! Lots of fantastic options. A little unassuming from the outside but the inside is perfect. Simple, great food, attentive employees! The hot chocolate was pretty dang good! Have 4 stars inside of 5 as I wished it had listed which dishes were GF.

Love, love, love that we have the honor of Jen and Stan over in Hector now! They bring their upscale, down home cooking to the wonderful Seneca Lake wine trail. Not to be missed!

Salad

We stopped here for lunch between wineries. The food was amazing! Even though it was right on 414, I felt like most people inside were locals. This is definitely a hidden gem. I ordered the Mexican pinto bean soup and a salad. My wife ordered the pork sandwich and a biscuit. We skipped the baked goods as we didn't want to be too full for drinking wine, but everything on display looked great. They are dog friendly but she stayed in the car because it was too cold and we wanted to sit inside. We will definitely return!

This place is unreal. The food is clearly made with care and intention by someone who has a great eye for quality. It's creative, original, and SO good. I cant recommend this place enough. We dined in for breakfast (delicious--get the focaccia French toast) and took a banana bread pudding to go and absolutely devoured it. It took us 3 minutes to finish. I am going to lick the plate now.

Here was right across the highway from our airbnb, so we had to stop for a pre-winery breakfast during our trip! If you weren't staying in the area or if you hadn't heard about it before, it's fairly easy to miss when driving on the highway. But we're glad we stopped in! Here is a cute little restaurant, featuring a large counter where you place your order and a large enough seating area. It's pretty no nonsense in terms of decorations, but it fits with the vibe. We visited on a Saturday morning, but it wasn't too busy and we had no issues finding a seat after we placed our order at the counter. The menu is decently large considering the size of the restaurant, and it was hard to decide on my meal! Everything is made with fresh ingredients and made in house (including all the bread), and they focus on classics with a slight twist. I ultimately decided on the focaccia French toast, which was accompanied by a berry compote and whipped cream. I was intrigued by the base of focaccia (especially since it was homemade), and I was happy that it wasn't overly decadent or filling. It may have benefited from maybe one other flavor in the compote or in another topping, but overall, I was pleased. My husband went for the breakfast sandwich on focaccia with bacon, which he enjoyed. Similarly, he was intrigued by the focaccia as the bread, and he said it worked really well. The garlic potatoes were a nice addition, as well! We both enjoyed drip coffee with our meals, which was standard but good. Before we left, we wound up purchasing a day-old focaccia (discounted!) to enjoy back at our airbnb with dinner. Love that they sell their homemade products, and love that they offer a discount for "older" sells (you would have never known the bread was a day old)! Overall, we're glad we stumbled upon Here for breakfast during our trip, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid homemade meal before hitting the wineries!

I got the schnitzel sandwich-very crispy and juicy, flavor was perfect-chicken was seasoned well and balanced with mustard. The chips were in-house, fresh and crispy. And the sweet potato fries-chef's kiss! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, not oily at all! Will definitely come back here on my next trip!

If you're not from here and don't look like you are, expect to be treated very differently from the…read moreother customers. Came here for the lunch sammies, but got here a bit early. They start lunch at 11am. Waited in line and let all the breakfast people go first to order at the counter. When they switched over to lunch, the cashier lady requested another few minutes to set up and said she would "come to me" when it was time for lunch ordering as we spoke earlier that lunch would not be ready. To not rush her and respect their transition per what was stated, I sat back down at the table. Then the lunch line immediately formed (that was not there at opening lunch hour), so I got back up to make sure she'd honor her commitment to first-come, first-serve. To my dismay, she began speaking with the gentleman after me, completely forgetting that I had waited 15+ min from breakfast and gotten word from her she would honor my place. She made an excuse that she was just taking the next customer in line, and after I repeated what she told me, she honored my purchase, and SHE clicked no tip automatically. Even more disappointing is that they STILL chose to put out the food of the gentleman behind FIRST. When our food came second, the reuben was burnt. Poor service aside, the chicken snitchzel was good. Unfortunately, I think the young lady was overworked and did not either remember (even though I had been standing there, made conversation) or chose not to remember (much more worrisome). The food is great and interior is beautiful views (on it's own would be 4 stars) but I would be very wary of the treatment you'd receive here as a customer. Please do better, you have really great food for this area.
