    Incredible service, cozy atmosphere, and delicious coffee and food. Always coming up with new drinks and are willing to customize to your preference! Also a great little place to sit and read or get some work done. I cannot recommend lake life enough, year round!!

    It was my first time in Lake Chautauqua and this cafe is a perfect breakfast spot nearby. We ended up coming here twice in our short weekend trip because we loved it so much. They have indoor and outdoor sitting areas. It gets crowded during weekends of course. A lot of items for breakfast and lunch menu. We only came for their breakfast due to time restrictions. I got to try their Sausage, egg, cheese breakfast sandwich on a Asiago bagel, wow the size was amazing and delicious! It can definitely be shared. For my coffee each time I had two different types and can't recall what they were but both were very good! The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food. They have a decent size staff who is pretty helpful in taking your order and recommendations. They have some parking in the street however it's public so you might have to park further if you come when it's busy. They're located in a very popular area where a lot of other restaurants, hotels, ice cream shops are nearby so it's really great to plan a day of it. They have two restrooms, and they sell some local merch and other items. We can't wait to visit again and come back here soon!

    Such a cute spot with delicious food! I enjoyed a hot chocolate and an avocado toast for breakfast. The staff was friendly and helpful!

    The food was delicious, the service was fast the coffee on point! I ordered oatmeal with fruit & hostess recommended maple syrup on the side.. yum yum, everyone on my table was happy with their order omelet with feta cheese and spinach and steak with avocado, and a pesto chicken sandwich. The ambiance I loved it! I would definitely come back here whenever I'm in the area.

    I was in Bemus Point for one weekend for a bachelorette party & I loved this place so much I came twice before we left! The inside is so cute and I loved the atmosphere/decorations in this cafe! The workers were very sweet and let us take our time deciding! I ordered a Smores latte and OH MY GOD was it delicious!!! I got the large and I somehow still wanted more when I was done! My friend ordered the Lake Life latte and said that it was also delicious - not too sugary/sweet and could still taste the coffee!! Some of us also ordered a breakfast sandwich!! We all got the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich and it was really good! I ordered mine on an everything bagel...I think it adds more flavor than any other flavor bagel, but my friends enjoyed their sandwiches just as much as I did!! I don't know if I will ever be back around this area, but if I am...you will find me here! (:

    Biking to Lake Life Cafe for a late breakfast. Even on a Wednesday it's steadily busy, but having come since they opened a few years ago I still see why. I got my usual breakfast sandwich, but also tried the new August mocha: a white mocha with blackberry cold foam. Even though I usually get hot drinks or a frappuccino this was a nice little change and I enjoy the effort a small restaurant puts into having a changing and diverse menu! Despite other options nearby for breakfast and lunch, this remains my go to for a quick stop. Whether eating in or picking up using the convenient app, I've never had bad service or food. Only on one occasion was the wait quite long, but it was a busy Saturday the week off July 4 so what do you expect? It's especially nice when I do art shows in the nearby park, when a fast app preorder lets me get my food without missing potential customers at my tent. Thank you guys!

    I'm going to drop my review a little, because I believe the quality here has dropped. Coffee still taste good, people behind the counter are nice, but what has happened to the food? Got avocado toast with an over easy egg which I am posting a picture of. Now the avocado toast without an egg is $7. It's one slice of toast with barely any avocado. I mean in places it looked as though it barely changed the color of the bread. I realize that costs are going up but when you have to skimp on something so much that it doesn't even barely resemble the product it's supposed to be... I asked if they could do an over easy egg, to which I heard, "absolutely!" It wasn't even remotely runny, and actually over done. Not a busy morning, just low quality. This is not the only time we've noticed this type of thing. Please step it up, would love to update my review.

    We found this cafe based on the Yelp reviews and it didn't disappoint! We're staying on the lake for a family vacation and are surprises that there aren't more quick lunch spots like this one. The outdoor deck comfortably sat 10 of us (including 2 in strollers). We loved the sweet iced tea, chicken salad sandwich, and turkey/brie panini! Great food and the service was more than we would have expected considering how busy they were.

    Kitchen bottleneck lead to a 45 minute wait for two sandwiches. Huge facility with a one stove kitchen. I wish them many successes but this will cost them customers if they do not fix it. While I waited I heard them say "sorry for the wait" at least 40 times. That has got to be stressful.

    The vegetarian options are supper high priced. The side salad is only salad greens. Nice remodel of the building.

    On a Sunday visiting family in the Chautauqua Institution and we headed out on the boat to Tulip's…read morein Mayville. There is a public dock available just a couple hundred yards away from Tulip's. When we got there at about 11:30 on a Sunday the wait for a table was about 25 to 30 minutes. Plenty of room on the lawn out front to wait and even some outdoor games to play. We were called and seated at about 25 minutes; we had requested a table on the patio so my niece's dog could come along. Tulip's is located in a large Victorian house with a wrap around patio all overlooking the lake, the perfect place to relax and enjoy a summer brunch. Our server was great, friendly and helpful; orders are taken on a tablet and sent wirelessly to the kitchen. The menu has one side of breakfast items and the second side of lunch items. The food is slightly upscale without being overly fussy. There are some vegetarian items and others that can be made vegetarian by just leaving off the meat items. I ended up ordering the classic french toast, others at the table ordered sandwiches, corned beef hash, and omelets. Despite the restaurant being busy the food came out in about 10-15 minutes, all of the food being delivered by several servers; our server did check in to make sure that everything was delivered and that we were enjoying out food. Everyone enjoyed their food, portions were good, the food was well presented. My french toast was very good, carmalized on the outside custardy on the inside, slightly sweet and savory. It was presented with whipped butter and syrup. A nicely done classic and a great brunch. I would highly recommend Tulip's, a great place for breakfast and lunch. It seems like Chautauqua and Mayville have already figured it out and they are busy and doing well.

    Wow! Everything was so fantastic for our midmorning brunch. It's a charming little spot in a…read moreconverted Victorian home near the water. My wife and her friend had been the day before and wanted to take me back. My wife had the French toast, which she had had the day before, her friend had eggs, toast, and bacon, and I had the brunch madame. Let me warn you, if you order this, you will be a bit surprised when it arrives at your table. It is massive. But beyond being massive, it was perfectly toasty and cheesy on top with layers of ham and Bechemel inside, and it sat in a pool of glistening hollandaise sauce. Our server, Misty, laughed when I told her that it should come with a disclaimer, but it was honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten for breakfast. It came with a side of breakfast potatoes and a perfectly soft poached egg nestled on top. To top it all off, the coffee was divine. Misty told us it was from Erie Street coffee and they sell it at the restaurant. Note that if you're going to go here, they close at 2:30. But it's definitely worth the trip and we will definitely be back.
