North Main Cafe is an awesome little local restaurant.Their menu items are always fantastic and their daily specials are amazing. It is always busy because it is a local hot spot. Their menu items never disappoint. I highly recommend giving them a try. read more

Great spot in Mt. Vernon. Spots to park. Ample space for seating. Great lunch selection. Wonderful daily specials. I had the grilled cheese and chili... amazing. Very reasonably priced. Staff was charming. Definitely a lunch spot to smash while in town... read more

Walked in and instantly thought, "This is a coffee shop that secretly moonlights as a breakfast joint." The place was buzzing -- vaulted ceilings plus a full house of caffeine-fueled chatter meant I got surround sound with my omelette. The sausage and cheese omelette was solid. The hashbrowns? Let's just say they were more "supporting actor" than "star of the show." And the toast... well, it came out as a slice. Singular. Like they were rationing carbs for the apocalypse. The coffee was great, though -- it's basically DIY, but I'll take any place that trusts me enough to handle the pot. All in all, a good stop if you want a quick bite, a strong cup of coffee, and the chance to test your hearing against acoustics that rival a cathedral. read more

Adorable, always busy and worth it! We were blown away by how busy this little cafe was on a rainy Saturday morning but the quality of our meal explains why. Order at the counter, find a seat inside or on the patio. Take in the chic farmhouse vibes, then enjoy the heck out of your meal, beverage and/or treats - all are superb! You know a place is good when they sell cute branded stickers. Next time I'm buying one! read more

We have been going here for nearly two years. Service has never been great, but today was so awful we will never return. We ordered, took a seat and saw that there was a huge line behind us and the restaurant was already pretty full, we took the last table. We waited patiently, for 50 minutes when we realized people we watched in line significantly after we had taken a seat get their food. We went up to the counter and mentioned it. They said they'd look. No update. 55 minutes, we ask again. No update. At 60 minutes we requested a refund, which they provided without apologizing. We were polite the whole time. They didn't care. Didn't offer a gift card, didn't try to recover the service at all. It was terrible. So, go here if you want to be wait for hour, leave hungry, and be treated like you don't matter. read more

Great place. Only serves breakfast on Saturday so get there before 12:30 when they close. Get the Omelette Your Way or the Gold Rush Bowl. Both are very good and served nice and hot. If you can sit on the patio - do it. Then go the the Famers Market nearby. read more

Really cute little cafe with lots of choices for breakfast! The staff was very friendly and our food came out quite fast. Very laid back atmosphere. I loved that they have a kid's breakfast special. They also have specialty seasonal coffee drinks. I had the veggie avocado toast with an egg added and the almond joy latte and they were both delicious. Their specialty mayo is also delicious...not sure what is in it, but it is sweet. read more

Great ambiance! Love the old school new school decor fusion. Maybe I ordered wrong but my veggie avocado toast was slim pickings. Slight shmear of avocado, greens, tomato slice and feta on a thin cracker type toast piece.... For $9.50 I was underwhelmed. Cohort loved his quiche which came with hash browns read more

If you're looking for good coffee and a sandwich in Mount Vernon this is the place! Note that this is a "order at the counter" restaurant, so you will wait in line and it does take time to get your order. Everything is fresh made and they are often very busy, so you have to go in with patience! But the food/drink is great and the workers are friendly. My favorite is the Main Street Mocha and Cran Turkey Wrap. Yum! The only negative I can give (hence reduction of 1 star) is that they close FAR too early on a Saturday (12:30pm) and are not open on Sunday. I cannot tell you how many times we've forgotten they close early and have arrived at 12:45pm on a Saturday and there are other people also standing outside wondering why they are closed for lunch. Can we at least stay open until 1:30pm on Saturday ??? Otherwise, an amazing option in Mount Vernon for breakfast, brunch or lunch (during the week only)! read more

Delightful surprise in Mount Vernon! Vegetarian Avocado Toast was fresh and flavorful. Husband enjoyed his filling Gold Rush Bowl, especially the gravy. Great service and reasonably priced. Impressive modern industrial interior was perfect. Looking forward to returning. read more

This is such a lovely cafe! My husband and I stopped here for lunch on our way home from staying at a place nearby. The cafe is nicely decorated and easy to navigate. We shared the reuben and a cup of the shrimp and corn chowder. We very much enjoyed the sandwich and the chowder! The homemade dressing on the reuben was amazing!!! We also had a big chocolate chip cookie and it was just average. Customer service was great and we will absolutely stop in again the next time we are in the area! read more

I'm not a fan of this place. I think their food is subpar and overrated. However, I went there for a birthday lunch and went with a last resort thing. I ordered the quiche. And I was surprised at how good it was. So that'll probably be my go to meal there. read more

The best chicken noodle soup I ever had: sometimes this kind of soup is just basically salt flavor. This soup had so much flavor! Hearty and obviously house made. Sugar cookie was also heavenly. Nice place, traditional cafe in downtown. Good place to meet for lunch! Free wifi. Plenty of seating inside and an outdoor seating area overlooking Main St. read more

Hands down worth a visit. Coming up from Orlando for work, looking for a good place for brunch. Absolutely scrummy. Very clean inside and in a lovely part of this small town. The food is very fresh and presumably handmade. A friend and I enjoyed the CBR and quiche which were both fantastic. The drinks and food are very affordable, what we got here would be so much more back home. Definitely recommend if you end up around this area. read more

This was my second time at North Main Cafe. I got the CBR wrap both times. I would say my first time was a better food experience. On my second visit I did come close to closing time. I felt like the wrap wasnt as good and the chips were from the bottom of the bag (mostly crumbs) however, it was still a good wrap and the flavor was delicious. For $8 you get a nice size wrap with hot chicken, chips and a pickle. The interior is cute and if it's warm they have seating outside. Overall, great local find! read more

Small town living. You gotta love it. Mt. Vernon tends to get overlooked but it shouldn't, some serious stuff going on in this up and coming town. One of the latest additions is North Main Cafe. When I walked in I smiled. Well done. They renovated the building and kept a very casual but trendy look while making it feel homey and warm with a touch of industrial. I like. The menu is on the wall posted on chalkboard in a fun script. Hard to read but cute. Grab a printed menu while you wait. The menu isn't huge but it has interesting items and man oh man, they did not disappoint. I got a large BBQ chicken salad. No kidding, it came in a cool black bowl the size of half a bucket. I took half of it home. The dressing was homemade and creamy and the salad had fresh and plentiful toppings....except the chicken. Not a lot of chicken at all. I got an iced chai latte that was heavenly. They made an error with my milk choice and I got no less then 3 separate apologies and an offer for a refund. Customer service is NOT dead! Woot. My friend got the chicken sandwich. Served on a beautiful bun the chicken breast was perfectly cooked and the portion huge. We finished with a piece of Hoho cake. Holy Willy Wonka. The size of a hand spread open and probably one of the best comfort desserts I've put in my mouth in a long time. It's the specialty of one of the owners, who makes it herself. Amazing. I want more. I want sleep on a pillow of Hoho cake. I am excited to go back...for a small town cafe, this place has come out of the gate strong. Two small things: The chairs are not made for anyone who is slightly ample. My friend had comfort issues. Not a place to hang out if you got junk in the trunk. They have plenty of parking but it's consistently packed, with a line at the register. My advice? Offer a register for food and beverage and a register for coffee only. If the coffee line is non existent, that cashier can pick up food line slack or go do something else near by. But- if I want coffee (it is a cafe after all) I would think twice about stopping in to grab a cup due to the lines. I will most definitely be back...I think breakfast will be my next adventure at this small town gem. UPDATE: I'd like to think it's because of this review...but who knows. Who cares? They got a separate check out for Coffee orders. Yessssssss. I will stop in more than I already do, to grab my soy chai. Hot dang. read more

Our friends recommended this cafe. I ordered the Mediterranean Salad and Avocado Toast with a small latte; my family ordered pastries and drinks. Excellent food and great atmosphere. The menu prices are reasonable. We will be back! #SupportLocal read more

Been here many times and everything I have gotten has been very yummy. I definitely recommend this place. Very hardworking people!

This place has just opened and it's a great addition to our city. There is indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the counter, they give you a number for your table, and food is delivered to you. As I walked past the outdoor seating I noticed a delicious looking breakfast omelet. But, alas, I was too late for breakfast- it's over at 10:30am. Next time I'll be there for breakfast. I ordered the BBQ Chicken Salad and a Vanilla Bean Frappe (I don't do coffee). Both were delivered to my table quickly. The salad was a good size, I ordered the smaller size, with a nice amount of toppings. The dressing was thick and tasty. The Vanilla Bean Frappe was delicious - thick and flavorful. There were also so good looking sweets on display- carrot cake, scones, and a couple others. But those are for another visit. read more

Wow. What a cute & delightful place. Went on a Wednesday for lunch, and returned on Saturday for breakfast because we were so impressed. For lunch, we enjoyed the Hamlini, a turkey cranberry wrap and lattes. The waffles for breakfast were fantastic; hint of a sourdough flavor with fresh fruit. The buckeye mocha was amazing, as was the chai latte. But let me tell you what impressed us most - the friendly service and the cleanest restaurant bathroom I've ever seen in my life. We could tell they value excellence in every aspect of the establishment. :) read more

Literally the best place you could ever eat. My favorite is their Buffalo Chicken Wrap, but they only have it for a month in the summer...but it is sooooo worth the wait! I also love how they have a special food and drink of the month read more

Food was okay. There was way too much condiments on the sandwich and wrap. I would recommend to ask them to go light on the sauce. I love sauce but there was way too much. read more

As soon as I saw the balcony on the way in, I knew I was going to love this cafe! Great food, great coffee, and an even greater environment! Every staff member had a smile on their face, and such a joyful disposition. The avocado toast with lime totally hit the spot! Who would've thought to add lime?! AMAZING!! I highly recommend you give this place a try!! You won't regret it! read more

Wow! This place is just perfect for a wonderful breakfast. I was looking for a place to grab a quick breakfast that was close to our hotel. It did not disappoint and exceeded every expectation that we had. It was walking distance from our hotel, the staff were nice and the food was delicious. Next time we are in town we will head there for lunch as well! read more

This place was amazing. An absolute gem of a find. Can't believe it's only 5 minuets from Home and we've never been here before. Well I can say that's changing. Great customer service at the counter and table combined with fabulous food are guaranteed to make us regulars. I got the Omelette your way and my wife got the avocado toast and a bagel. We both got the fire side hot latte. Nothing was a disappointment. This is a must try spot especially for any local who have yet to come. Definitely 5 stars. read more

Another business where the slight premium is worth it - nothing is too unreasonably priced and everything has been delicious in my experience! Great service, super fast and a fresh new environment makes it a 5 star café. Great for early morning commuters like myself (open early) and great for mid day coffee addicts as well! A+ read more

Fantastic!! We discovered this place the last day we were in town or else we would've eaten there every day. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. We got sandwiches, burgers, and salads and nothing disappointed. My husband also got a latte and it was great. The decor was beautiful too. I really can't say enough good about this place! read more

Just a bit pricey, but good food and good drinks. Arguably the best coffee in town and a good breakfast/lunch spot!Avocado Toast

What a nice lunch experience! Very busy @ lunchtime this Saturday but the food was fresh and fast! My lovely wife had a chef salad and I had a grilled chicken wrap. The salad was very fresh as was the wrap and both were tasty! Two chi teas and pastry desert to top it all off A great new addition to the Mt.Vernon food scene! read more

I look forward to eating here every time! read more

Friendly staff & tasty food. Today, my was the 1/2 Golden Rush Bowl. It was delicious and a good value for the money spent.

Please accept this as a respobse to our wait time. You may have checked your inside security cameras but you apparently missed the outside one. We sat on your deck outside waiting for our food for quite some time before going inside because it was too cokd. Shortly after going inside my husband went up to ask about additional wait time. I would say that may have been 3 minutes after we came inside to continue our wait. Once agakn I propose that it would be best to let your patrons know the wait time when they order so they can decide if it is worth it. read more

Great Menu and great quality food. Always enjoy going there. On a recent visit I was shocked to see the staff and cooks not wearing masks. They had some plexiglass apparatus for taking orders, but still the cashier had no mask. Staff all huddled together behind the counter with no social distancing or masks. Crowded and doing a good business, so the majority of the patrons didn't seem to mind. I walked out. read more
