    Grape poptart
    Sophie T.

    This was one of the spots at the top of my list to try in Naples when visiting for the grape fest. I had heard that this was an iconic cafe with some cool history and great food. They had a different setup for the festival so I ordered at their order window and took the pastry to go. I got the grape poptart, which was delicious. They had music out front and a large open space where some people were hanging out. The entire town was very busy for the festival, but we were able to find parking near the cafe. This was a cool experience, but I'd love to visit again when the Naples grape festival isn't happening.

    This charming spot was a real treat! I picked this place for my birthday breakfast and was not disappointed. The old school house is of course delightful and the inside is nicely decorated. They have inside and outdoor seating as well as a bar area. You order at the counter and then they bring the food out to you whenever it's ready. I ordered the sunshine French toast and it was superb. I've never had anything like it and enjoyed every bite. It was very delicious and filling. If you get the chance do yourself a favor and give this place a try!

    Salmon Eggs Benedict
    Krysta A.

    Eric Albert and I treated ourself to the most decadent breakfast this morning at an AMAZING place in Naples, NY, The Old School Cafe. It was beyond words wonderful! Best food I've had since moving here in three years! Eric had the Salmon eggs benedict and I had the Korean chicken and waffle. The coffee is ground by the cup and local coffee company in Canandaigua. Mmmmm... It was an hour drive but worth every mile! The owner was fantastic! Great energy and very friendly. Super quick service! The charming historic school house is charming in every way! Limited seating so best to come on a weekday. They have outdoor seating in the spring through fall.

    We have been many times before. We love this spot so much. Such a cozy and inviting spot when you drive into Naples. Owners are very friendly, fast service. Not a ton of room in there, especially if you have a stroller.

    Smoked salmon breakfast
    Sara M.

    I've stopped here a few times and it's always pleasant. This recent time I had a cappuccino and my friend got the smoked salmon breakfast. He said it was very good and the presentation was very pretty with fresh micro greens and fruit. This is a cute spot to order to-go or dine in. Local fresh ingredients. Will stop in again.

    Hand pie
    Jessica P.

    Adorable cafe. Really great decor and nice touches all around. Chai was a tad sweet (possibly made with concentrate) but nice variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic coffee drinks. The cinnamon roll and hand pie were very tasty. I'd return for sure.

    The breakfast Sami and the Korean chicken and waffles were spectacular, wish I was in the area, was just driving by, glad we stopped by, the atmosphere was great

    Breakfast sandwich
    Brian G.

    Stopped in after kayaking this morning and glad we did! We each had the breakfast sandwich. The egg was cooked to perfection in the roll toasted nicely. The bacon was the star of the show with its candied sweetness. For drinks we have a bottled lemonade, coffee and chai. The drinks were tasty. My wife and daughter each had a trip to the restroom and reported that it was very nice. Clean and cute.

    What a delightful find! We were leaving Hammondsport on our way back to Rochester and tried to find a breakfast place and stumbled across the Old School Cafe! I really don't have any "cons" other than it's a "cozy" spot, so don't expect endless seating. Very small town and mom and pop! Now to all the "pros!" The design is very unique in that it is a an old school house! Completely redone of course, but the essence and spirit is still there! Thoughtfully decorated with a classroom in mind, you feel like you're in science class. It's totally cool! The owners also seem earth conscious and use very nice biodegradable plates and flatware. The presentation of the food is beautiful. You will really take a moment to visually savor before eating. Everting tasted delicious. It took everything for my husband and son to NOT order doubles! There are no reservations, so stop in and eat or just grab and go! Next time we are in Naples, we will be sure to come back!

    We stopped by yesterday to have lunch after a morning on the wine trail and we were so glad we did!…read moreBefore we talk about the food, just want to give a shout out to our waitress who was just phenomenal-- I wish I would have caught her name! She was so attentive and quick to help if we had questions. We tried the sampler, and others at the table had different brats. Everyone said their meals were great-- the sampler is more than enough for two people, and can certainly be a snack for a group of four. Each of the brats are seasoned so well, but my personal favorite was the andouille-- it was spicy and seasoned to perfection with a crunch when you bite into it. The bread that came with the sample was also great- really crispy and warm! We were also able to try each of the sauces, and the banana pepper mustard and beer mustard are delicious! So much so, we bought a jar of the banana pepper mustard to take home with us. There were plenty of seats inside and outside the restaurant. Definitely would love to come support this place again in the future!

    I can't really sit here and say this was a positive or negative experience; it was just kind of odd…read morebut ultimately it delivered what it was supposed to. My cousin chums and I stopped by here on Labor Day after our mini wine tour in need of sustenance aka real food (a quality all of the wineries we went to were severely lacking in). From what I could tell, this is sort of an extension of the Arbor Hill Winery - to access Brew & Brats, we actually ended up walking through what I assume was Arbor Hill's main gift shop/wine tasting area, which sold more in the line of quasi-bougie condiments than actual wine. We briefly considered doing a third winery tasting here but I just didn't like the vibe, so we continued on to the back of the premises where this restaurant/bar was. Perfectly pleasant in there; the main establishment seemed to be centered on a barn-like structure (it almost felt like it had a former life as a ye olde general store, then got cleaned out to be a bar), though we ended up sitting/eating right outside in a little pavilion area with picnic tables (great weather for it). I also used the facilities at one point, which were unique - also a bit barn-like and felt very...temporary storage unit but not in a bad way, if that makes sense. Everything was spacious and clean from my perspective. When in Rome, I think you get brats. There was understandably a Bavarian-themed tinge to this menu, but heavily Americanized. So sauerkraut was a pretty pervasive ingredient, but it also had a lot of mainstream salad and BBQ sides. Interesting for sure. I didn't want to complicate things after multiple wine tastings, so I opted to get the Arbor Hill Sherried Wine Sausage with a side of baked beans. Honestly not bad; the marinating of the sherried wine gave it a nice fruity/sweet tinge. I'm more of a hot dog connoisseur when it comes to my weenies and I'm not a fan of condiments; even if I were though, something this flavorful probably doesn't need to rely on them. And I can always get down with a toasted bun. The beans were just okay; too sweet for my palate. I was expecting something more savory given the bacon, but literally every other ingredient drowns it out. I'd remove the brown sugar - if the sauce is already sherried wine-flavored, you really don't need to double-down. The service was honestly a little strange/awkward. Our waitress was friendly enough and given what we were ordering, it would have been insane if the wait time was more than 10 minutes or so (and it wasn't). We were in and out of there relatively quickly, giving us plenty of time to test drive our Airbnb hot tub. But she was very flustered and agitated throughout our stay there, constantly apologizing for the chaos and wait times, which were nonexistent. Every time she came to our table, it was accompanied by a flurry of, "Sorry, it's just been CRAZY with all of these people," which, given that there were literally two other parties and tons of empty seats just wasn't accurate and made no sense. My assumption is that they had a crazy lunchtime rush or something that she was still processing and/or recovering from, but I really don't know. Regardless, it didn't really detract from the overall meal or anything. The prices were out-and-out fantastic. For a legit entree and sides, casual as they were, $15 or so was a legit deal. This whole Naples area was generally pretty affordable, to its credit. Not really my kind of food in the grand scheme of things, but it was fine for what it was. Hope our waitress got a good night's sleep at least.

As I was leaving with my baby in her stroller, I pushed the door closed behind me. Apparently, it didn't close completely. Instead of simply asking me to close it, the man came outside yelling and cursing at me. I went back because I couldn't believe the way he was speaking to me. He then came to the doorway holding a glass in his hand and continued screaming at me in an extremely aggressive and intimidating way. His behavior was so hostile that his wife had to come to the door and intervene. They felt they could speak to me this way because no one was around. Until they noticed my husband was outside waiting in his car. Avoid this place specially if you're a parent! Do not be fooled by some of the positive reviews. I posted about my experience in a local group on Facebook and others commented on how they also had negative experiences. I am adding the screenshot of their comments for others to see! The owners should really step back and think about how they treat people.
