Bacon egg and cheese on a hard roll
Dan R.

"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.

Cinnamon Roll

The BEST food and best ice cream. I absolutely love this place, the vibe is immaculate and so adorable. The waiting time for me has usually been pretty high, but it makes total sense and is worth the wait! (The cinnamon rolls are to die for)

Salted Caramel Apple Belgian Waffle, at the Railway Cafe in Winsted, CT.

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.

Grilled cheese and chips.

Cute cafe, fast take-out service. The grilled cheese special was delicious (I forgot to take a picture before I ate half of it, though!).

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! We also tried the strawberry lemonade which was made with fresh strawberries & lemons - a perfect combo that was so refreshing!! We will definitely be back to try breakfast & their ice cream shop. Well done!

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!

Espresso
Ashlee T.

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!

Five Stars all around whether it's the delicious drinks, tasty apps, main meal, house made desserts…read moreor the great smiles of the friendly staff. Shawna the manager goes above and beyond to make sure that guests are always happy. Food is amazing! Always reliable and amazing! Happy Hour has great small bites and a great happy hour drink menu! Did I mention the family meal? I have ordered this meal many times and never been disappointed. It's great when you're having a small party! Last time I think I even ordered two of them ! Can't say enough! 5 stars!

So walking in we were not sure it really was an Italian restaurant. We could not smell the usual…read moresauce/pizza in the air. We hesitated because of that. There were plants everywhere in the dining space, just didn't match up. (The pendant lights were nice but the mismatch could have looked artistic but instead just looked mismatched). Kitchen looked not well kept and disorganized. Our wait staff was very informal and not consistent, had to ask for silverware when salad was served. When pizza came had to replace silverware because when they removed salad bowls took the silverware. Salad was good, but was surprised the salad dressing came out in take out containers since we were at a sit down dinner. It felt like we were at a take out place. We ordered the pizza special butternut squash, onions, bacon and cheese, didn't realize it was going to be a white pizza, the toppings were disproportionate, heavy on bacon (was too salty), after the first bite not so great.

Yelp is asking me to answer the question - What went well ?…read more Is this place a secret gem? I'm not sure but we are so happy we found this place. I feel the need to leave this review here now just in case I forget to leave a actual proper long review. This is our third time, a humble looking joint so we come here always just expecting it's going to be " meh". But we keep coming back, collecting calories around our waist because everything is so good here! Service - always awesome. Everyone here looks like they work cohesively, everyone is smiling working hard . Coffees always refilled. Food- fantastic, always fresh, on point. This time I got an omelette with tomatoes and this is the first time I had an omelet where the tomatoes don't get mushy. Their hash browns are also amazing! ... while we like the shredded we LOVE the fried- like mini French fries. While all of their proteins are awesome - their turkey bacon deserves a special shout out because it often misses the mark at most places.. but not here . And then there are the little things - clean bathrooms, condiments on the table are clean and not sticky or gross !! Anyway, come here.

Visited Parkside Cafe with a friend and ordered the cannoli crepes and honey mustard chicken wrap…read more Both were AMAZING! The cannoli crepes were the highlight. The filling was rich, creamy, and perfectly sweet, wrapped in a flawlessly cooked crepe. The honey mustard chicken wrap was just as impressive.. fresh, flavorful, and well-made. Highly recommend!!
