I visited the Whistling Kettle in Ballston Spa for brunch with a couple of friends and had a mixed…read moreexperience. We arrived right when they opened at 10 a.m. and were seated immediately, which was great. We initially considered sitting inside, but the smell of eggs was so overwhelming/nauseating that we opted for outdoor seating instead. The patio was charming and cozy. The service was friendly, attentive, and one of the highlights of our visit. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations. We all ordered the brunch tower, which included a "fruit salad" that consisted of squishy grapes, sour Granny Smith apple chunks, and canned mandarin oranges. The fruit tasted low quality and unappetizing, and I only managed a few bites. I also ordered the bananas foster crepe, which was severely overcooked. The crepe was so tough that I needed a knife to cut through it, and the texture was far from what I would expect from a crepe. Overall, while the service was pleasant and seating was prompt, the food quality left a lot to be desired, especially considering the price point.

Love this place!! Night Work bread is one of my favorite stops in Ballston Spa! Everything they…read moremake is sourdough-based and you can really taste the difference. The bread is so good!! Great flavor and great texture; and, I appreciate that they use organic ingredients. I actually wouldn't eat there if they didn't. The bagels are honestly amazing. They are the only bagels I will eat because they are organic sourdough (it's the only non-gf I'll eat). They are crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, just how a bagel should be! Whenever I've ordered a bagel and cream cheese (which is more than a dozen times), they've always been very generous with the cream cheese, which I appreciate! They've also got more than just bread. They sell some local gifts and things: flowers, crocheted items, little crafts, chocolates, etc. Their cookies are soooooooo delicious. We always get at least one to enjoy after we eat our bagels. :-) There is a small sandwich menu (no hot items though - like no hot egg sandwiches, just egg salad). They also serve hot coffee! One tip: Go early. They often sell out of bagels and treats, especially on the weekends! It's just a really solid spot with really good food! Definitely worth checking out! We drive 25 minutes just to enjoy their bagels, bread, and treats!!

Can't believe I just heard of Mom & Pop's; clearly I've been living under a rock. This family owned business knows how to provide delicious food fast! It was obvious that there are MANY regulars (the owner was on a first name basis with everyone that walked in)-which I would be if I lived a smidge closer. Loved my Mediterranean omelette; the skillet got rave reviews (and a to-go box!). Picked up some cookies and struffoli (yaaassss Italian honey balls FTW!!) for a Christmas dinner I'll be attending..plus a couple of pieces of eggnog cake (which were insanely good...those won't make it to Xmas dinner). I'd like to go back again soon and try some other breakfast (or lunch) items. They close at 2pm and are currently open Monday-Friday (so I can only get there on a day off). Oh-they do catering, too.

I had the "Day After" Turkey Panini with homemade apple stuffing and cranberry mayonnaise. But, the standout was the cup of their award winning chowder to start. It arrived at the table with a crab Rangoon stuff wonton and bacon bits on top. It was amazing!!! The cafe is full of neighborhood love and kindness. The service is amazing: friendly and prompt. And, I couldn't get over the story of how the cafe was inspired. The owners wife died of breast cancer at the age of 42 and this place is his love letter to her memory. If you live within an hours drive time of this place RUN don't walk to try this restaurant. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

The ordering was simple and I reserved my order through fb messenger a few days prior to 3/17. The order to the pickup went smoothly and it was sooooo delicious. They placed it together when I arrived. If you've never been to the Ballston spa location and it's your first time, things to know: - tables for about 12 people in the restaurant at a time (no larger parties) - it gets warm in there, no matter the season! - they serve canned drinks and bottled water, so if you're a guzzler, bring your large reusable water bottle My favorite part was how the hummus was the best hummus I've had in years. No other restaurant makes it like this in the area and you've got to go in and try it!
