    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.

    The pass

    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.

    Had a great breakfast at Lake life - nothing fancy, breakfast sandwiches/ but they were very good. Nice new addition to Bemus Point - I recommend !! Clean, friendly and good !!!

The crust was similar to a Pizza Hut hand tossed but much better. It was cooked all the way through and the toppings were cooked perfectly. The second time the crust was overcooked on the outside, but undercooked on the inside. The pizza overall on the outside and all the toppings were overcooked, too brown, and it was dried out. So a dried out pizza with undercooked crust in the middle. This pizza would've been a one star rating. The first time we ate in the restaurant and were the first people in the restaurant for lunch to order pizza. Again, for the style it was an excellent pizza. The second time we ordered in the late afternoon takeout so that we could bring it back to our condo before the evening show at Chautauqua. My guess is the second time the oven was much hotter, so they could accommodate turning more pizzas more quickly. This made their product inferior by cooking it at too high of a temperature. The restaurant really needs to look for quality control, and consistency. Based on the number of good restaurants in the area, or more like lack there of, if they were more consistent, they could dominate the market.

The owner is present almost all the time tending to things and checking in on tables. I have never ever had a bad meal here. Like not ever. Not even a mediocre meal. Always rates very good to great. From the steaks. To the seafood, to the Italian specialties.....just tops. It is hard to get into during the ski season, and not too easy even off season, so please do plan and make a reservation. If you can snag a booth, that is the best. The bar is a great place to come for a drink with a friend or to watch a sporting event. My most recent visit to the restaurant was this past Friday, a nice night in early May. We met some friends here for dinner. We had two appetizers of stuffed peppers which are absolutely amazing with just the right amount of heat, and the Nona's Meatball with gooey rich ricotta cheese.....yum yum. My husband ordered a house salad, which was crisp and delicious. For entrees, our companion couple ordered the twin filets and the fish fry. Both were reported to be fantastic. My husband ordered the Chicken Parmesan and I ordered the Chicken Milanese. Absolutely excellent. For dessert, both couples shared their own order of Tiramisu. I ordered an Espresso and that simply rounded out an amazing dinner. I really can't recommend this place enough.

It's an italian based restaurant that offers bread with olive oil and seasonings to start. We didn't realize that and also got cheesy bread which comes with a red sausce. Both were delicious. For entrees I ordered bucatini carbonara with chicken and my wife ordered the filleto's. Pricing was reasonable in the $20-$30 range per peson. We enjoyed the visit and had a great time!
