Outside

Great atmosphere and good service but not a fan of their omelettes or home fries. My wife's Veggie omelette was delicious with goat cheese but my cheese and sausage omelette had almost no cheese in it. The thing about my meals was the grilled bagel.... Which was delicious. Home fries are almost un-eatable with the lack of taste. I'd go back only because my wife enjoyed her Veggie Omelette but i probably try the French toast.

Great service and ambiance. The retro space vibe is a lot of fun, and the decor transports you out of this world. The food is very good; I like a little more spice, so I did a bit of adding salt, pepper and sauces at the table. Overall, an excellent cafe.

Breakfast sandwich on the specials with bacon jam nomnom

What an intriguing spot this is! It replaced the old diner on main. WOW, they made some substantial changes. The whole vibe is this kind of galactic theme with a spacey decor. Plenty to take in whilst you converse and eat. The food is super reasonably priced in this modern era of inflation. Breakfast cost what breakfast should, refreshing. It is straight forward diner food with snazzy celestial names. However, they ramp up the usual with things like a bacon jam(put it on anything you can!!) and an apricot chutney. Those small changes elevate this place to noteworthy. The service is excellent as well. Attentive and friendly. Recommend! Bon appetite!

Plate sized cakes! Yum!!

Wow what a great find! Service was quick & friendly and the place has really fun decor. I'm kind of a pancake snob & not are their pancakes HUGE but some of the best I've ever had. Plus they do breakfast all day! I'll definitely be back!

My breakfast

What a great new little breakfast and lunch spot!!! My friend and I met up for breakfast here recently. I had read the reviews before we came and someone had written that the coffee was terribly strong. My first question I asked was about the coffee, our server informed me that they had a little bit of a learning curve to perfect the right amount of coffee grounds to add and now it was good. I ordered an iced coffee and it was very good. I also ordered an egg sandwich on an everything bagel with linguica patty and cheese and a side of home fries. My sandwich was very good, but I was disappointed that there was really hardly any 'everything' on my bagel and next time I'll ask for butter on the bagel. My home fries could have been a little warmer but they were very tasty nonetheless. My friend ordered a traditional breakfast and was very happy with her meal too. They have a case near the front door of items that they bake ...scones, donuts etc. and they looked very good too. Our server was excellent. We loved the 'Jetsons' decor inside!!

The painted baker cafe is an adorable retro spot with great food. I had a special called the fiesta boat which had scrambled eggs with bacon, onions, peppers, potatoes, and cheddar cheese in a croissant bowl. It was awesome and huge the only thing that would have made it better was if the potatoes had a bit of salt and pepper. Our waitress was prompt and very friendly.

Breakfast Sammie and Home fries
Mike R.

I liked the feel of the place when I first walked in. Very friendly staff, and the food came out super quick. The breakfast sandwiches were good, I would've given four stars if the home fries were cooked more. They needed to cooked first then cooked more. Some tasted like they weren't cooked. Will def be back and next time I'll just ask for the home fries to be well done and now I know.

Breakfast with the boyfriend

Ok...I need to be fair here. My breakfast was good. Great..no..but good. They are new and I WILL go back. The theme and decor are excellent but when I go for breakfast...I want the breakfast to be excellent. Again...good but nothing I couldn't get at a regular diner. Service was EXCELLENT...they have that down.. as a side note - they do have housemade donuts which look amazing but I wasn't in the mood. I'll make sure to grab one next time. Would I say try it..sure, let me know your thoughts. As a note...the menu says home fries but they serve breakfast potatoes...the bf says I'm being picky....but it's a thing for me..

Elizabeths Farmhouse - Lemon pesto chicken sandwich

Elizabeth's Farmhouse -- Putnam, Connecticut…read more By far one of the best meals I've ever had, and quite possibly the best burger of my life! Coming from Southern California with a culinary background, I'll admit my expectations can sometimes be modest when dining outside well-known food scenes. Elizabeth's Farmhouse didn't just exceed them--it blew them away. My wife and I arrived in Putnam looking for a quick bite and found this charming, approximately 50-seat restaurant with no wait. I ordered an Oktoberfest from a local brewery, while my wife chose an Old Fashioned. She ordered the Farmhouse Meatloaf Wrap, I chose the burger, and we shared the German Onion Soup. The German Onion Soup was outstanding. The onions were caramelized to a beautiful deep amber, with rich umami, subtle garlic and shallot, and a wonderfully developed beef broth. The crostini, topped with perfectly melted Gruyère, brought everything together. Every component was thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. Then came the burger--and this was no ordinary burger. Cooked to a flawless medium-rare, it featured thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon, crispy red onions, aged sharp white cheddar, ancho chili barbecue sauce, and a perfectly seasoned Niman Ranch all-beef patty on a soft brioche bun. Every bite delivered an incredible balance of smoky, savory, sweet, and spicy flavors. Nothing overpowered anything else. Without question, this was one of the best burgers I've ever had. My wife's Farmhouse Meatloaf Wrap was equally impressive, featuring tender meatloaf, creamy mashed potatoes, aged white cheddar, and house-made chipotle mayonnaise. Rich, hearty comfort food elevated through thoughtful preparation and excellent execution. Even the fresh-cut fries deserve recognition. Cooked beautifully and served with house-made ketchup that reminded me of an Italian nonna's homemade marinara. When even the simplest condiment receives that much attention, you know you're dining somewhere special. By the end of our meal, both plates were completely clean. As someone with a culinary background, I appreciate the difference between food that is simply prepared and food crafted with genuine passion. Elizabeth's Farmhouse is a shining example of the latter. To the chef and everyone behind the scenes: your passion for food does not go unnoticed. You've created something truly special in Putnam, Connecticut. I rarely write restaurant reviews, but this experience absolutely deserved one. Five stars, without hesitation. I'll be back hungry for more!

The food is good, quite tasty delish! There's seasonal items so it's great to revisit and try new…read moreitems. The vegetables are fresh and the meats and seafood are seasoned well. The service is sometimes great; sometimes...so-so. I've gotten different kinds and difficult to make out what the standard is for service. Overall-- good-ish. I made a reservation and was on time but my table was given to another customer who did not rsvp and was asked to wait for 20+mins. Happened twice. The interior is cozy and tight; but very cute and nice. Like its name; it's like a farmhouse decor. The outside architecture is all black and it may look closed but it is the restaurant :) ! A good restaurant to try out !!!
