    We have been coming here for years since we moved to Lake Placid, and we absolutely love this little place! Their home made bagels are to die for, and we have never had a bad meal here, also they have the best prices of any restaurant around. Make sure to check the specials board straight ahead when you walk in, they never disappoint! Today they had a chicken salad fruit plate and it was the best chicken salad I've ever had, not to mention the fruit was fresh and crisp, and enough to feed me twice! Highly recommend.

    In my never-ending quest to visit awesome privately-owned breakfast spots, I drove on down to teeny, tiny Lake Placid. They are known as "The Town of Murals" and are world famous for them and perusing them makes a very nice day trip! Tens of thousands of folks do it every year. All those folks need to eat and bunches of them go here and rave about it! Hence my trip. Arriving- Your GPS won't work very hard as this place is easy peasy to find. BTW, they are usually open every day starting at 6:00 AM. Breakfast and lunch only. Street parking, the slanted drive-in style is the name of the game here. It's free. Pro-Tip- This is Snowbird country and many restaurants close for a week or two during the summer. My advice, call first before you visit. Ambience- Tiny one-room place with Florida kitsch and a mild baseball theme which extends to the menu. Typical booths and tables. They also have a counter that seats six with an open kitchen. I found everything spotless! Customer Service- I was tag teamed by two servers and they were both great so no complaints. Food- Standard American menu with the glaring omission of a list of omelets. What the hell! In keeping with the baseball theme, you can order a single, double, or triple meaning the number of eggs and pieces of meat. I ordered the Double with sausage and home fries, and it set me back $9 pre-tip. My coffee was great. My eggs and sausage were spot on, but read on to hear about the home fries. Over-the-top, spectacular home fries, easily on my Top 5 list of all time! The cook/chef uses his own custom seasoning and it's amazing. They were perfectly cooked, not greasy, and there wasn't a single burnt piece! I moaned with every bite! See my attached a close up pic. For me, these folks hit a grand slam 5-star home run!

    Great location downtown Lake Placid. . Great food choices and great food presentation... Open kitchen, friendly staff and amazing management team. (Owner is soooo cool) You have to try this place... I totally recommend this spot for breakfast... limited seating though, but it's worth the wait

    The Home Run

    Add this to list of Lake Placid breakfast places! Food is tasty, home fries are crispy on the outside and well seasoned. We had The Home Run, the RBI, peanut butter cannoli, and the everything bagel. All good! See pics. Only thought the bagel was smaller than expected. Servers were attentive and polite. Inside is clean but a little warm, we were there around 10:30 am. We will be back!

    The food tgus time was best in 8 months. Chicken tendees great, FINALLY breaded!…read more Beer ice cold. Bartender best she could be. Now, on the down side Food came out wrong. Second time still wrong but took it. The runner blonde was fast, but so fast she only dropped off everyones food and bolted. Had to get silverware , dishes, napkins. Then to correct the order not made right, again with two sides hotsauce. The bartendees is great, on the ball. She had to FINALLY get the attention in the cook to get trash which was overflowing, dumped. She had so many glasses all the time, the bar to clear off and zero help. She was SO busy with being the only one to handle all of the dining drinks it was hard to tend to the bar itself. This bar needs to not take advantage of good help.Hire someone to barback, check on the floor with guests, etc.

    I had gone there last Saturday for a mid afternoon burger. I sat at the bar, it was pretty empty…read morearound 4-5 pm and I looked at the menu. I remember I previously had a black and blue burger in the past and it was good! This time I ordered it, I paid 15$ for a Mac Donald's burger. The meat was as thin as the fast food restaurants. Totally unimpressed and unacceptable. I reluctantly ate the burger, piled high with lettuce and a thick tomato, but absolutely lacked the 1/2 lb burger they claim to use. I wondered why neighboring restaurants were very busy, and this was empty, now I know why. Will not go back....

I ordered a lavendar matcha and bought one of the premade liquor cakes to eat at home later. The lavender syrup is one of the syrups they make in house which is why I looked forward to trying it. But that wasn't the drink I received, he gave me a White Chocolate and Banana Iced Matcha, which was what the lady infront of me ordered. There was a different mixup with her order, so a little bit of chaos there. Anyways, I kept the drink because things were busy and he seemed overwhelmed. But it tasted terrible. The flavoring tasted so artificial, it was like consuming rubber. I have a feeling that was a one off, so I'm not counting this cafe out yet.

    If you're ever in Lake Placid and need a caffeine fix with a side of cozy charm, Owl and Otter…read moreEspresso Co. is where you need to perch. My mocha with oat milk was everything I want in a coffee--smooth, chocolatey, and just the right amount of sweet, like a warm hug from an otter who moonlights as a barista. The blueberry scone? A buttery, crumbly little cloud with juicy bursts of berry that made me seriously consider ordering a second... you know, for "research." The shop itself feels like it stepped right out of a Pinterest board--woodsy, warm, and welcoming, with just enough personality to make you want to sit and stay awhile. It's the kind of place where you can sip slowly, people-watch, and convince yourself you're the main character in a quaint small-town novel. Bonus points for friendly service that makes you feel like a regular, even if it's your first visit. Whether you're starting your morning or sneaking in an afternoon treat, this is one of those rare spots where the drinks, bites, and vibe all hit just right.
