The new owners have done a great job. Tons of staff and excellent menu. The pancakes were perfect and the Muskie breakfast had huge portions for the price. Coffee was very good with endless fill-ups. Highly recommend. read more

Back for an updated review. Koffee Kove has been sold and reopened, and sadly it's nothing like the original. I just ate there for lunch today, and the food now? It is not good. The "fresh baked" Mac and cheese suggested by the owner had no flavor. Not even cheese. Just mushy elbow macaroni. But worse, I asked if the battered haddock sandwich was fresh or frozen and the owner - who was sitting in a booth working on a laptop, lied and emphatically said it was. No, it sure wasn't. You know flat haddock strips that are breaded and frozen and sold in bulk? And the restaurant then just heats it up in hot oil? Kinda like a Tops fish fry? That's what it was. Slapped on a slightly toasted hoagie roll with a plastic cup of tartar sauce, no lettuce or tomato. Plus my $3 Diet Coke arrived in a little juice glass, lol. Lots of empty tables but still a 15 min wait, and they didn't seem to have enough staff to keep up with bussing dirty tables. All in all a poor lunch experience for two with bill over $50. Something is really wrong when a restaurant can't keep enough staff to run properly. I miss Koffee Kove. read more

we loved the koffee Kove and hoped the same for the now Kove. While the food was GREAT, the service was lacking. it took a loooong time to receive food and we had to go up and ask for refills and napkins etc. i know they've only reopened for a few weeks so i'm hoping they are working out the kinks! will update when we are back next year! overall was good and still gave off the same cozy boating vibes it did before read more

This place took an hour to bring my food and I barely ordered anything! The eggs were raw, and the French toast wasn't even French toast! I'm disappointed and by the time the food came, I wasn't even hungry anymore. read more

The restaurant seems to be closed. We came while on vacation in the area. The restaurant was empty. Looked completely shut down.

we went in for a bite to eat. we're seated quickly and menus were placed on table, then the waitress went back to chat with others standing around and no one ever came back. after waiting a while we got up and walked out. bad service. hopefully that will be corrected read more

Koffee Kove for breakfast is the place to go, plenty of food fast service and the waitresses are great. I had blueberry pancakes and bacon enough for at least two people. Very good. read more

Definitely a busy local restaurant for breakfast and the food was okay. The clam chowder was good but the crab cakes was a miss because we didn't taste the crabs. Local street parking as their shared lot got full quickly. read more

An old school diner if I ever saw one. Servers are hustling around with big smiles and lots of coffee refills. Tables, chairs, and booths are plain wood. Decor is minimal, other than a very large map of the 1000 Island region on one wall. Portions are large and food is very comfortable, salty, and not too fancy - exactly what you've had 1000 times at other diners (which is just fine). My wife got an Eggs Benedict with tomato and spinach. She enjoyed it and couldn't finish the whole thing. I got the Musky Meal, which included a couple scrambled eggs, a couple strips of bacon, a chicken sausage patty (for an up-charge, which wasn't on the menu), and a piece of french toast. Plenty of food. We split a side of homemade wheat bread. The homemade bread was actually quite fluffy and yummy. In contrast, the french toast was just a store-bought piece of bread soaked in egg batter. read more

Koffee Kove Restaurant - Western Sandwich with French Fries - American Near Me - Clayton, New York

Stopped here for a coffee when we were in Clayton several times. I roast my own coffee so I'm pretty tough on places that do their own coffee. But their coffee here was pretty good. It's usually the strength that they don't get. Strong coffee is what I consider to be bold and you get all the flavors that you're looking for. These folks gave me a good cup of coffee. The service was good and I'd return here again. Thank you read more

We were visiting the area for the extended weekend and decided to have breakfast before leaving the area. We weren't staying in Clayton but saw this spot while walking around Clayton the day before. On arrival, there was a bit of a wait outside but we were seated immediately as we were a small party, The restaurant was busy but did not feel stuffy. There were cute marine details and the staff was extremely pleasant as soon as we entered. There were plenty of options on the menu including gluten free options. I gravitated toward a platter that included a little bit of everything: eggs, home fries, bacon, sausage and French toast. The food was absolutely delicious and the meal arrived on two plates. We were stuffed. Before leaving, my husband ordered a cinnamon roll to go because they're his weakness and it was gigantic. It was only $3 and the largest most delicious roll I'd ever seen. My husband said it was extremely tasty and not too sweet. I'm happy to say I'd definitely visit again if I'm in the area and highly recommend this business! read more

Disappointed, having read the reviews before we went there. Ordered the beef taco bowl for takeout. our intention was to enjoy it by the river, but the wind picked up, rain threatened so we took it back to where we were staying, not 10" away. Bad sign: when we opened the plastic bag, couldn't smell anything; another bad sign: when we removed the aluminum foil, it wasn't even warm. The bowl itself was cool, the filling was barely warm. no utensils or napkins included! into the microwave it went. The beef was nicely seasoned, the rest of it was the usual. Didn't think the portion was particularly large. Waitresses were hustling, altho it was just getting busy; smiling and pleasant. Won't return; other places to try. :( read more

While on vacation, our family of 3 stopped in the Koffee Kove for breakfast. We ordered a variety of items to share. The Musky Meal was served with eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausage, and a side of French toast or pancake. I ordered a blueberry pancake on the side along with an extra side of scrambled eggs. This is the most our 5 year old ate all of vacation! The scrambled eggs were prepared perfectly and tasted super creamy. Everything was delicious. I especially appreciated the cold brew coffee with caramel flavoring. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. read more

Koffee Kove is a Clayton mainstay. It's open all year, unlike many seasonal restaurants in the area. The food is traditional diner breakfast and lunch fare - omelettes, pancakes, burgers, sandwiches, and tons of pies and desserts. They even have a black bean burger. My favorite breakfast here is the Bagelette. It's just eggs and cheese on a plain bagel (that I add mushrooms to) but it's so good! You can customize it with your choice of veggies or meat. Add a side of potatoes and it'll keep you full for a while. Service can be slow when they are busy (expect a wait for a table on a Saturday or Sunday morning), but the food is consistently good so I think it's worth the wait. The best part of the 1000 Islands is not being in hurry! read more

We had lunch there right after driving 4 hours to Clayton, and decided this place was just what what we wanted. Upon arriving, we discovered that Clayton MUST be the last place in the US to have coin meter parking. Luckily the Koffee Kove was obliging in breaking a single to provide quarters for the meter (note: 25 cents only, gets you 1/2 hour...). We sat down and....those booth seatbacks are hard! Bring a cushion if you have one! Luckily, the service and the food make up for the hard seats. We both had reuben sandwiches, and for only $12, these had to be the least expensive reubens I've seen in years! And they were great!! The place is small, but this must be about the nicest diner I've been to in years. read more

This is the place to visit for great food. Variety selection for everyone including kids. Stopped in for lunch had BLT, hubby had his favorite Ruben open face sandwich and Granddaughter wanted cheese sticks. Hubby stated Best Ruben he ever had. Everything was delish, left empty plates on table. Service was friendly and quick. Placed filled up fast for lunch service. Weekends open until 2pm, weekdays open till 7pm. Definitely a place to check out when you're in the area. read more

Great place for all kinds of meals all times of the day. Excellent service with friendly staff in a relaxed ambiance. Situated right on the main street, with plenty seating and parking along the street. Not busy on June 26th but probably will be in July and August! I would recommend! Very reasonable prices too! read more

Old fashioned type diner. Food was very good with large portions. Prices were also reasonable. Only complaint was that we were never offered coffee refills. read more

Quaint local diner feel with a welcoming atmosphere. We came here for breakfast. I had the local 2 eggs with home fries and English muffin. Would rate as above average. I highly recommend trying one of the bennys though - was definitely tastier (we had the Mexican). Other than that it's a cheerful little place and I would consider coming back if I was in town to get my breakfast fix and start my day. read more

Koffee Kove Restaurant - Indoor seating area - American Near Me - Clayton, New York

After arriving in the Thousand Island area we checked good old YELP to find a restaurant for lunch. We chose Koffee Kove and headed there. This is a cute place, clean and had a nice assortment on the menu. The food was good, quick service and we were on our way to the next adventure. Definitely a good place to get good food at reasonable prices! read more

Service is amazing. Food is fantastic. Ambience is very adorable. One of the best diners. I think I've eaten at in a very long time.

Great experience here! Our server was friendly and responsive, the ambiance is cute, and the food was really good. Great little breakfast spot. Everyone enjoyed their food - from omelets and eggs to pancakes. The prices too - they are very reasonable! Highly recommend, but do expect a little wait time if you are coming by for breakfast/brunch on the weekend. read more

Good place. Went on a rainy Tuesday and waited for a table and waited about 20 min to get to order drinks once at our table. Food is good. A little short staffed, but that is common at most places these days. read more

Disappointed that the waitress went and took orders from 5 different parties and finally took mine - I was there 10 minutes before them .. Watched 6 more parties get served and leaving by the time I got my: Burnt eggs COLD AF toast French toast - not even Luke warm Bacon was cold For some reason she was gonna be as nasty as she could - I was polite and joking with her so I don't know what got into her. Took 28 minutes to be served that cold garbage plate - Was gonna walk out but held in to be nice and then I found hair in my food. Watched her put her fingers into the food and not wash her hands afterwards No sorry just " your all set" - I honestly think she was upset not about the hair but that she couldn't stick it to me - you actually think that was gonna happen Sister. It's one thing being rude It's another serving intentionally cold over cooked food Even the yolk was cooked on the "over medium" Did what any self respecting person does Picked up my $5.00 tip off the counter and put it back in my pocket and off to start my day. Special note - I wasn't paying either way - I knew you had it out for me when you watched my turn around over and over seeing everyone getting served. You're an ASSHOLE and I don't pay assholes. And then you had the balls to complain that I opened the butter cups as I waited - yea that was then I decided you weren't getting a dime out of me. How was that hair you served to the next customer you took out of my plate. That cost them $17.00 for that shitty move She literally not only had them burn the food - She let it sit out back for 10-15 minutes ( they served 5 parties that entered after me and were finished eating Nothing like being rude for no reason. Place is gonna be a ghost town next week FOOL read more

The food is always fantastic, great pastries. The staff is super friendly. Breakfast is definitely the best

The breakfast was good but the dice potatoes were barely warm. The staff was hustling and the place was full. It was loud and the bathroom could use a make-over. It's obviously popular but I'll give another local breakfast place a look next trip. read more

I have to actually give this place a 5 star. We were in A Bay for a week and this was the best breakfast that I had. I also love their sausage. I mean I literally ordered on more bec it was so good. You can find Faygo pop here so if you are from Michigan you would love that! Easy order Sausage and Biscuits! read more

Stopped in for breakfast while boating in the area. The restaurant is quaintly decorated making for a cozy atmosphere. I had the traditional eggs Benny which was fairly good. Perhaps a bit heavy on the hollandaise and would have been much nicer with either back or peameal bacon instead of the cold cuts of ham. Anyway a pretty nice breakfast and start to the day. read more

Met a friend for breakfast on a Monday. I had the veggie Benny which was good. Hollandaise sauce was ok, but the eggs and avocado were great. Friend had a veggie omelet that could have fed two people. Plenty of tables at 8 am when we arrived, folks standing outside waiting for a table when we left at 9:30. Service was friendly, we never felt rushed, prices are reasonable. read more

Great breakfast this time around. We come up to the Thousand Islands every year, and I don't know if this is my favorite place to get breakfast now, but it's a contender. Got my tried and true corned beef hash with sunny-side up eggs with toast. The hash was nice and crispy, the eggs were runny, the toast was homemade and cut thick, and the coffee was hot.. Can't ask for much more on a cold morning. read more

Everywhere we went Koffee Kove was recommended. We stopped in for breakfast and can see why. I can imagine that during the Spring and Summer there is a wait for a table, but being here during the off-season we had our choice of tables. I had avocado toast and a side of sausage patties and hubby had corned beef hash with eggs and bacon. Everything was delicious! Plus they make their own white and wheat breads and have several specialty coffees. Service was quick and friendly. read more

Amazing food, service. Recommend the Philly Cheese Steak Omelet!! Flavors are amazing
