Absolutely incredible sandwich lunch place. Incredible bakery and delicious food on all fronts.

My husband and I returned for lunch today and, as always, enjoyed it very much. I had the egg salad sandwich and he had the cup of soup and half sandwich (crispy chisken) combo. Both were excellent, we like the atmosphere there, and the service is pleasant. We were impressed by the freshness of the ingredients, lovely bread, homemade potato chips, and the seasoning of the soup (today it was chicken rice). We are ex-New Yorkers and commented that if RC were there, it would be packed all the time. We arrived shortly after noon (on a Friday) and got seated right away. The Railway Cafe is one of many things that we appreciate about Winsted! We'll return soon. read more

Went for breakfast with a friend and was bowled over by the place! Wonderful setting, great service and delicious food. I had the Conductor's skillet and my friend the Berry waffle with cream. OMG her plate was STACKED! My bowl had delicious applewood bacon and I went with scrambled eggs on top and rye toast...amazing! Would definitely take the drive to eat there again. read more

Railway Cafe - Berry waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Winsted, Connecticut

"I'm sittin' in the railway station Got a ticket to my destination" (Simon and Garfunkel) Our server told us The Railway Cafe building was the oldest surviving single family structure in town. Over the years the building transitioned into commercial use and was office buildings and a Mexican Restaurant among other tenants. The Railway Cafe has now occupied that space for years, and our first visit there was very favorable, if not excellent. They are open Wednesday to Sunday for breakfast and lunch and our Thursday morning breakfast visit could not have gone any better. Coffee came out fast, and we both commented how good it was. I ordered a Green Caboose Skillet Bowl ($12) with two over medium eggs over a delicious layer of hash browns, onions, peppers, cherry tomatoes, spinach and pepper jack cheese, plus two slices of multi grain toast. It was delicious and very filling. My wife went for a bacon, egg and cheese on a hard roll ($7.50) and she enjoyed hers as well. Both breakfasts came with a mini fruit garnish of an orange slice and half a strawberry. We had read that Railway Cafe is famous for the baked goods in general and their cinnamon buns in particular, so of course we ordered one to go. We shared half of it last night, and I gotta tell you that just 1/4 of that big gooey bun will satisfy your sweet tooth. It was terrific. The ambience there is very nice with train decor throughout. I sure got the feeling that the clientele there are regulars because I saw two exiting couples get goodbye hugs from their servers. So go and enjoy a lovely breakfast in a very welcoming spot. read more

First Timers to the Railway Cafe in Winsted, it had been on our radar for sometime, but we finally made it there this morning. A bit of wait to get a table, but it was mid-morning on a Sunday also. Cafe is cute, loved the ambience, the large windows looking out onto RT44 and the skylights were a very nice touch. The place is a bit noisy though, when filled with patrons. We both ordered off the Specials Menu, I had the Salted Caramel Apple Belgian Waffle, and my wife went with Corned Beef Hash and Eggs. We also ordered a Cinnamon Bun to go. I thought the presentation of my meal was very nice, but the waffle itself lacked much flavor, was bland. I really can't recall tasting any salted caramel either. I took a bite of my wife's corned beef hash, it was the best hash I've ever tasted. We quickly switched meals. But my wife also thought the Belgian Waffle breakfast was lackluster. Also, the portion size of both our breakfasts was a bit on the diminutive side. We had the cinnamon bun later in the day, it was alright. All in all, with the exception of corned beef hash, we felt our breakfasts this morning at the Railway Cafe were fairly average. For $34 (before tip), I kinda expected a bit more. read more

The Railway Cafe is excellent! We love supporting local small businesses. The building Is charming and the ambiance is awesome. The waitstaff is so personable & friendly. My husband & I ordered off the specials menu & ended up getting the Turkey Cranberry Melt which was absolutely delicious (sweet & savory) as well as their chips!

Best Coffee in town , Amazing Customer Service , Bring your Family here and you will have a great time.

Historically charming hidden gem! We aren't typically out in this area and have never been. We were attracted to its character and assortment of breakfast items, so we decided to try it. Parking is on the road, but the 2 hour parking gives you plenty of time. Staff were very friendly, except for one - we didn't know what the seating situation was, and one of the waiters thought they were koi and wouldn't be overheard ranting about us, using some choice language. Thankfully we didn't have her as a waitress and instead had an extremely friendly and attentive waiter that we went without nothing with. The food was amazing! Best waffles I've ever had. Home fries, eggs, toast, etc. were also praised by our friends. Environment was friendly and homie; a lot of regulars familiar with one another. Although small, the space didn't feel over crowded or loud. We are a considerable distance away, but would certainly make the travel again! read more

The food here is amazing. I had the cinnamon bun which was warm, soft, and gooey! So good! I also had a bowl with peppers onion spinach hash brown cheese eggs.... Very filling and tasty. Plus, they serve it with the softest rye bread ever. The service is the ultimate touch. They truly love their product and it shows by how respectful they are. I also love how cozy they made it feel. I highly recommend The RailWay Cafe! read more

Came for breakfast/brunch on a Sunday and was pleased to hear they serve breakfast all day on sundays! I was alone but told it would be about 45 min wait. I agreed to wait and about 2 min later a gentleman told me I could sit in the ice cream room if I wanted and he would wait on me there! The service was great and the espresso was delicious. I ordered the giant cinnamon roll and I was not disappointed! This thing was huge. I ate about half and was so full! Very cute restaurant, easy to find and plenty or parking. Great spot to try out if you're in the area! read more

A fantastic breakfast spot! Healthy, fun choices to eat. Delicious, strong, freshly brewed coffee with latte options. We enjoyed a homemade blueberry muffin - moist and tasty- grilled. Avocado toast with 2 over easy eggs that had great flavors of goat cheese & spices. My husband enjoyed the egg sandwich special and oatmeal. Overall a great experience! Clean& newly renovated this little gem is worth stopping to dine. We will put it on the list for lunch too! Thanks! read more

Don't overlook this Winsted gem. A hopping little family run cafe with a cozy ambience. Stop in for breakfast or lunch; the food is great and the homemade cinnamon buns are legendary- they bake multiple batches every morning. I recommend eating breakfast and grabbing some cinnamon buns (or any other killer baked goods on offer that day) to take home. The owner is an amazing baker! read more

Delicious menu selection! Friendly staff too! Get there early to get baked goods as the sell out by the end of the daub

Amazing service! Amazing food! The waffles are crispy but light. The big cookie dessert was hot and fresh. The decor and painting is beautiful. Very beautifully designed and everything I have ordered here has been amazing read more

Quaint spot. Reasonable prices and good food! Took my mom there for Sunday brunch! I'd go back!

Winsted is lucky that Railway Cafe moved from Canaan this year. Breakfast was so good we went back for lunch and we weren't disappointed. It's family run and it shows. They clearly put their heart and soul into the food, service and atmosphere. Loved it all. read more

Good Cinnamon Bun. Very nice for a small cafe. They also have good skillet bowls. I haven't gone for lunch yet but I have heard their lunch is good. Overall it is a great experience. read more

The breakfast here is DYNAMITE! Their breakfast bowls are so much better than you could even imagine. At first glance I thought, "hm a limited menu". Man was I wrong! They're definitely heavy and make you want to nap for days but totally delicious. We've tried some baked goods too..the choc chip cookie & cinnamon bun. Both delicious. We've also been for lunch (salad and sandwich), which was fresh, savory, and filling. read more

About nine months ago we got an egg sandwich that we liked. The problem was the Cinnamon Roll. I could not eat it since it was so stale. I tried to cut it in pieces to see if the middle was soft but had to use a steak knife and that was the end of that. read more

Great atmosphere, love the menu, delicious food and creative presentations! Something for everyone!

My husband and I had breakfast at this charming mother/daughter restaurant recently. Not only was the service first class but the food was cooked to perfection. The eggs came exactly the way I had ordered them, the croissant lightly toasted, the applewood bacon, 4 slices no less, delicious. The home fries, home made were crispy yet soft in the middle with a dusting of paprika, a nice touch. An attractive garish of orange slice and cut strawberry made for a very appetizing plate as per photo. The coffee was good also and refills kept coming. I would highly recommend you make a pilgrimage to this spot as they are open for lunch as well. This is a keeper. Prices very good. read more

I love Railways atmosphere. The place is really clean (which is most important to me). The food is delicious. The pancakes and French toast portion is enough to feed two people. I absolutely get the Crispy Chicken Bacon Ranch salad. It is simply the best. I highly recommend that. On a lighter note, I've had their muffins and the Friday cinnamon bun. The cinnamon bun, yeah, one will feed two people. If you are in Canaan anytime soon, give this place a try. read more

Such a great addition to Winsted. Super cute ambiance with outdoor seating. Their grilled blueberry muffins are delicious for breakfast. Their meatballs and sauce are also worth a visit. read more

Servers were nice and cafe was clean. My wife and I were very disappointed by our breakfast. We each order waffles, one with a bacon side, the other with sausage. The waffles were cold and hard, the bacon was burned, and the sausage was just average. At least the coffee was good. Will not be back. Do not recommend. read more

The fries are sooo crispy, the burger is so delish, first time stopping here. Friendly staff, clean, everything neat and tidy
