A cute little breakfast and lunch spot that is obviously a huge hit with the locals. Place was full the whole time I was there. I went for lunch and opted for the turkey club, which was quite tasty, though I may ask for a little more mayo next time. Opted for fries on the side and they were super crunchy which is always a plus. It's nothing fancy inside, but has a certain small town charm. Specials are listed on a black board on your way in so be sure to turn right upon entering so you don't miss out. The menu may not be the most creative but it's got a good assortment of the classics. Pricing was very reasonable and I do like that they have counter service, which just always feels nostalgic in the best way. The service was friendly and welcoming, which was nice to see considering I wasn't one of the many regulars dining there that day. It's definitely a spot where you feel like everyone knows each other, but don't let that stop you from visiting. It's a spot where I would say everyone would feel welcome.
We actually wanted to visit another diner for their "crack bread", but that place is closed on weekends so we came here. Everything at Rome Point Cafe was fantastic, would definitely recommend and we look forward to coming back!
I got the tofu scramble and a decaf coffee & everything was delicious! I've been talking about it for days. The service was so great and accommodating when I told them that I had gastric bypass surgery and couldn't have the toast or hash browns, she was willing to substitute it for sliced tomatoes for me. The cafe looks like a perfect old-school diner and I sat at the counter, which was really nice. This will definitely be a staple from now on!
We've stopped into this breakfast and lunch spot in the past, but it's been a while. We don't often find ourselves on this stretch of Rt. 1A during meal time, but as we were in the area, at the right time, we stopped in for lunch. There is parking on the side of the building by the trees and in the back. The entrance is on the Rt 1a side of the building. Inside there are several small tables in the front part of the building, including two by the windows each side of the door, as well as a few counter stools. Behind a partition wall are a few booth seats. The interior is nothing to write home about. Linoleum tile floor peeling, lots of electrical wires added to the walls for things like AC and appliances. But you are not here for ambiance you are here for food and everything is clean. They have tried to make it as cozy as possible The staff are super friendly and efficient. They serve breakfast throughout open hours as well as lunch by late morning. We were told to have a seat anywhere and menu's were brought over. During our visit every table but one was full, so definitely a favorite with the locals. On the wall to the right of the entrance is a 'blackboard' type application where they write the specials and there were quite a few including soup of the day and baked goods for take away. They had many take out orders during our visit and the staff clearly knew these folks as they chatted familiarly during their purchase. We ordered sandwiches for lunch. They come with a pickle, which is both sweet and sour as well as crisp. Fries are a la carte, which is fine, because these sandwiches really filled us up. There was plenty of meat in there, and the rolls were warm and soft. A very satisfying meal. Actually, it was more than enough to fill my stomach. I left stuffed. The price for the sandwiches was reasonable and the food quality good. There is one tiny restroom tucked in behind some tables that you have to squeeze by to enter. It was clean and stocked. All together we had a pleasant lunch.
Ate in the cute nook here. Service was lovely. Prices are amazing. I built myself an avocado toast sandwich
Friendly service, relaxing vibe and absolutely delicious food! I had the banana bread French toast with a side of scrambled eggs and cheese and my husband had the Skippers plate and we just ate way more than we should have! Fast service and lots of seating! We will definitely be back again!
Best lobster benny, very sweet meat, excellent sauce, great service, and clean bathroom. I suspect this is a favorite of my locals here. I will be back
Decent diner with old-school swivel-stool counter seating, friendly service, and all the standard comfort foods you'd expect - plus some nice specials that are always well worth considering. My colleague opted for breakfast - and it looked good! - consisting of scrambled eggs, toast, ham, and home fries. I went for the lunch side of the menu and had a brace of hot dogs with sauerkraut, fries, and cole slaw. Solid and satisfying. It's a lively place, fills up fast, so I'd advise you come early to ensure being seated quickly!
Great neighborhood spot near Wickford. Limited seating so you may wait. Feels like an old timey breakfast spot with good prices and classic menu items and furnishings. Simple yet good. We especially enjoyed the mocha cold brew from local coffee shop, Nitro Cart. Also enjoyed the eggs Benedict with corned beef hash.
Very tasty food here at this very popular breakfast/lunch cafe. Because of its popularity, you will have a wait. We were here on a Sunday morning just prior to a February snowstorm around 10 am and it was packed. They have a pager system, where you need to walk up to the cashier/waitress to get the device and then wait for your number to be called. I saw some local regular customers, who were greeted by name, go wait in their car with the device. We ate at the counter and were served by a VERY friendly waitress, who clearly knew her regular customers by name. The servings were generous and my blueberry pancakes were fluffy and wonderful. My spouse's Swiss cheese omelet with bacon bits and hash browns were very satisfying, he said. I asked to bring my remaining coffee to go and was pleasantly surprised when I was given a large coffee cup topped off with hot coffee. Nice touch! I would visit here again, but will make sure to plan some time to get a table/seat.
Reliable, simple, and hearty brunch/lunch food done well and at a great price! I mean avo toast for under $4 is impossible to find! I've heard so many great things about this cute place. It lives up to the hype! It's a no-frills but charming little diner with the metal countertop and stools and all. I could tell right away our waitress was experienced, friendly, and a straight-shooter...just my style. We both got a bowl of the chicken, artichoke Florentine soup (note: it's creamy, not clear broth like I had expected) which was delish. Perfect size too. I got a Tuna Melt with curly fries while my hubby got the Reuben and a spinach/pineapple/mango green shake (great that it was all natural but seemed like the fruits weren't super ripe so was a little on the bland side). Both sandwiches were generously filled and came with homemade pickles. Overall, was very pleased with our quick meal! My only nit is that the giant "Rome Point Next Door" sign with the arrow pointing right towards a door is extremely confusing. I didn't realize there's a second smaller coffee shop called "Rome Point Next Door." The arrow adds confusion unless it's intentional? It made it seem like the entrance to the actual restaurant was past the door to the right. I wonder how often people get that mixed up!! Poor usability/customer experience that started us off on a bad foot since it was raining and we were walking around trying to find the entrance.

FANTASTIC crab cake eggs Benedict. Good amount of crab and it complimented the sauce and the eggs perfectly. Even the spinach added to the overall flavor. The hashbrowns were crisp and thin. The half plate of French toast was a great serving size for the price as well as being fluffy and flavorful. Carryout was easy and fast, and seemed like the move since it was very popular on a Saturday afternoon! read more

The Rome Pointe Cafe was really great for breakfast. There are daily specials and I lucked out with the Lobster Egg Bennie (Benedict). A couple other relatives tried the omelette and regular eggs Benedict with no complaints. The servers are wonderful with table and counter top seating you would expect in a cafe. read more

Was looking for new breakfast diners at 5:30AM and one of the places that had many positive reviews was Rome Point Cafe so we decided to try it out. It was full when we first entered so we had to wait for a few minutes to get seated. They were quick to clean a table for us when a party left and gave us menus immediately. We ordered 'The Skipper' and 'Eggs Benedict'. For toast, they had their home made rosemary toast that smelled amazing. We had read the reviews about their blueberry pancakes so of course our choice of pancakes were blueberry and they did not disappoint. The hash browns were golden and crispy. The diner also uses local products such as Rhed's hot sauce which were amazing on our home fries and hash browns. The hollandaise sauce on top of the Benedict was flavorful and savory. I was craving a tomato bisque and fortunately the diner served some which satisfied my craving. The staff seemed to knows it regulars and had opened conversations with those as they were serving tables and bringing food items to the customers. Would recommend this spot for any early birds or even brunch! read more

Sooo delicious! We stopped in for a few takeout sandwiches after a hike and the food was absolutely fantastic. The bread tastes homemade, and the portions are so generous. We will definitely be back to try their delicious looking breakfast dishes! read more

Thank you so much! We appreciate your business!
Tl;dr: a cozy, local breakfast spot serving a wide variety of breakfast foods at affordable prices. I ordered the corned beef hash platter, which came with two slices of toast, eggs, and home fries/hash browns. The banana bread French toast was hearty and delicious. I thought the portions were generous, and they have a fair amount of "trendier" breakfast items as well (like eggs Benedict)! The service was fantastic, and I have no complaints. Just a note, it does get pretty busy on the weekends (it was packed on Saturday around 9am) so take that into consideration when planning. read more
