This is our go-to breakfast spot when we're camping in litchfield county. The food is excellent and there are great vegan sausages.

The food is marvelous. The servers are less so- there is a prevailing attitude that you're being done a favor by being allowed to purchase food which is off putting. It is the best in the area, but its prominence is enhanced by the flatness of the terrain. read more

This place is so deceptively big! It looks from the outside there's room for like, five people but there are multiple tables and a bar area. The restroom have doors like two feet apart, but are huge inside. The food is very good. They have a breakfast, lunch, and special menu. I has the special soup and eggs breakfast. The soup did come out cold, and the waiters swapped it with a hot version right away so no harm, no foul. It was honestly good cold and even better hot. I would love to go again! Everyone was kind and friendly. read more

I have been here a few times and it's usually on the weekend. They are always busy which is a good thing but sometimes it can also interfere with the wait time. There are lots of seats inside and some outside too! Everyone that works there is very friendly. The coffee and food is really Good! They always have great specials too! read more

Mountainside Cafe - Avocado toast amazing! - Cafes Near Me - Falls Village, Connecticut

This experience was a crappy lesson of looks can be deceiving. Not every busted looking establishment is bad, and not every aesthetically pleasing one is good. While this wasn't a shiny turd, the food was above average at best but pricey (like everything else is), and it's unwelcoming if you're not a local. I drive twice a week from Danbury to great barrington. I was curious about this place for awhile and finally stopped in. The parking is terrible. Only like 10 spaces. if it's full you have to pull over by the mohawk trail which can be dangerous because of how fast people drive on this often quiet road and it can get busy. Had a sausage egg and cheese on a bagel that was an additional $2 because I didn't want the English muffin and 2 smallish hash browns. The only meat substitute was vegan sausage please consider having turkey products. It was decent, above average but I would not go out of my way to return. Also had a loaded rice krispie which was good. The service was suuuper slow and I was getting increasingly uncomfortable. If you don't want outsiders here, pick up the pace so they can get their food and go! Go here if you're hungry from a hike, but pass this if you're a weary and hungry traveler or from out of state/outside the area. It's a shame because the interior is quite gorgeous and if not for the unfriendly locals I would have eaten inside. So it's a solid 3 to a 3.25. read more

We drove by this gem of a cafe on a errand in the next town over. The store keeper recommended to have lunch here and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious and service was excellent. Will come back. read more

Our group of 20 or so cyclists arrived very spaced out over the course of an hour or so for lunch yesterday. The first people to arrived messages the group and advised us to order food to go so as not to take up table staff. The man taking our orders was gruff and unpleasant, regardless, we all tipped well. When our leader went back to thank him for accommodating us he we told, with other customers witnessing, not to bother coming back. Overall one of the most unwelcoming and unprofessional establishments I've had the misfortune to visit. read more

Amazing spot to check out, especially after a nice hike! Both the smell when you walk in to the staff working, created a very welcoming environment. I ended up getting the steak sandwich w/ some of the best fries and garlic aioli. Only thing keeping me from 5 stars was the au jus, since it didn't have much flavor and was cold which I thought was odd. read more

I have only fabulous things to say about Mountainside Cafe! The service is always friendly, food is delicious and the coffee hits just right!

This place is excellent! Stopped here with 2 friends while hiking the CT Appalachian Trail. The staff was so accommodating. We sat outside which was so quaint and relaxing. We had several staff wait on us with ordering, bringing us food and drinks, refilling our waters and helping us pack up food for backpacking. The coffee was excellent. The servings were huge. The service was top notch. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing pancakes. Stack of 3 that no mere mortal can consume in one sitting. Nice people, too. read more

Food is so delicious and unique, and the atmosphere is so cute and cozy. Great place! Great service too

the food is very good always, but it is sooo slow. Both lunch and brunch are always tasty.

First time here live in the area. Staff were nice. Restaurant was pretty loud and it was busy but no one was waiting for a table. It took 20+ minutes for 2 lattes. Then later on we ordered two salads and fries... after waiting 40 minutes we decided let's just take this to go. Other tables were also waiting longer than we were and NOTHING was communicated by staff during this time. When taking our salads to go we drove 10 minutes maybe less to sit and eat. When I opened my salad, my dressing was in a paper box already leaking, the strawberries were pale and colorless. To make matters worse it was on the specials menu! My friend(vegan) found a piece of bacon and a pickled onion that was not supposed to be in her salad. No silverware packed and we were not told to get it either so she ended up eating with her hands. My fries were cold and hard. Do not recommend and I will not be going back. Very disappointed. read more

My 1st time in the area and notice this little placed tucked away as we drove through. Due to horrible cell service, I took a screenshot on my map so I wouldn't miss this place on my way back. All I can say is YUM! I'm supposed to be mindful of my eating, but hey, when you get old, sometimes you need to just live more and worry less! I had the Streusel French Toast, my husband had some vegan meat breakfast sandwich and a side of pancakes. Sorry I can't remember the name of his sandwich, but the fact he ate vegan and loved it spoke volumes! He is a true carnivore. So glad we got to try this place. I can't wait for another visit there. Everything was amazing. Keep up the great work. Hope too see yall again! read more

Third time being here in the past 3 years. Excellent food and great service from friendly employees. The breakfast is good and so are the lunch items. The grilled cheese with jelly is terrific. I'm hiking the Appalachian Trail and this place has some awesome calories. The cheeseburger is definitely a good choice as well. read more

Delicious food- great staff - good coffee and great location- I've been stopping at the Cafe whenever I'm in Falls Village

Such a good meal. We were in a rush. If you're going to like rock, this place is awesome and right by you. Stop by for a great meal. The inside is really clean and neat. I wish I could've eaten inside. Nice ambiance. I got the beyond burger that was a decent price. Even to go it was so good. It was a nice pretzel bun. The top was a little charred, but still good. The sweet potato fries are money. Wow. The sauce it came with too yum. So good. About 10-15 min wait. Well worth it. read more

By far the best breakfast/brunch place in the area. Mountainside Cafe is the perfect place for a fresh, delicious start to the day. The restaurant has wooden interiors and big windows with a lot of natural light. The menu has many appealing options, but we settled on the goat cheese omelette with kale pesto and tomato. The food was fresh and a delicious combination of flavors. There are also an assortment of creative coffee options that combine mochas and other additions. We will definitely be back for many more breakfasts. read more

Came it after a few days on the Appalachian trail... was tired, hungry and dirty. We asked to sit outside because of our state and we were immediately greeted with the nicest, sweetest and genuine people I've meet in years who welcomed us inside and took great care of us. It was so amazing to be treated so wonderfully after some hard days hiking. The food was great, but it was the people that made this place greater. I'm so appreciate of the hospitality and humanity we were given. read more

Stopped here du For lunch during a Lime Rock park event. Food and service was excellent. Had a country burger and salad. Greens were very fresh and perfectly dressed with a lemon vinaigrette. Fries are the shoestring style also great. Burger was cooked perfectly. Took coffee and a brownie to go. Coffee is very good and the brownie was delicious. Next time we go, have to get the homemade ice cream sandwich. It is the size of your face. Wish I knew so I could have saved room. read more

Food: We ordered the Johnny Cash Skillet, Hot Italian (on specials menu), House Salad, Kale and Sausage Soup, and Chocolate Chip Cookie. The Johnny Cash Skillet turned out to be more a scramble and a little bummed it didn't come out in a skillet. Regardless, it was solid, seemed healthy, and the fries that came with were nice and crispy. The Hot Italian was a sandwich that came on beautifully toasted bread, gooey cheese, and nice cuts of meat. I subbed my fries out for sweet potato fries and I was a big fan. The salad was beautiful and tasted as good as it looked and the soup was very flavorful with a lot of sausage bits. We finished the meal off with the cookie and it was the chunky crunchy type - might want to get something else if you like yours soft and chewy. Overall, we felt it was a well balanced meal with good portions. Experience: We went on a Saturday around 1:30 pm and it fairly busy. There were still open tables so we got set up there. The interior is super cute and has a real homey vibe to it. Service is good and the place is clean. Def worth a trip if you're in the area! Value: We thought it was fairly priced given the "farm-to-table" dining motto. The food certainly tasted fresh and they keep it simple yet delicious. read more
