It's a house turned into a breakfast spot, and the charm is off the charts. If you're looking for that authentic small-town diner experience, this is it. I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was a 10/10. My friends all loved what they ordered too. Everything came out hot, delicious, and clearly made with care. Bonus: the prices are more than reasonable, especially for the quality of food and the portions you get. A couple things to keep in mind: the place is tiny, and it's one of the most popular breakfast spots in Geneva-on-the-Lake, so wait times can be long--especially on weekends. Also, there's no air conditioning. Parking is available in a small lot just to the left of the building, but it fills up fast. Despite the wait and the heat, Mary's is soooo worth it.

My husband and I took a trip to Geneva for a long weekend away from work and stopped in here for…read morelunch before we headed back to Indianapolis. The area was really quiet and didn't have many people out and about, but it was also the last weekend of October and this area seems like it would be bustling during summertime since it's on the lake. We each ordered a different wrap (my husband got the chicken/bacon/ranch and I got the salmon blt) and we were incredibly surprised by the quality of food. They were great portion sizes, cooked to order/incredibly fresh, and had large chunks of protein vs deli cut style meats we had kinda thought they might be. The fries were SO crispy and seasoned nicely. The staff working that day were super friendly and came to check on us often to make sure we had plenty of water and napkins. The tables are already well-stocked with condiments, so we never needed to ask for anything, which was great. I also ordered a witches brew wine slushy and it was such a treat. They had 3 Halloween inspired flavors to choose from, but the neon green was calling my name. The inside is pet friendly and has a bulk-bin dog treat station to get your pups some treats, as well as a dog menu for them to have a snack while you eat. They sell dog toys, collars, leashes, and other merch inside, too. Outside is a big patio/dog park area for the dogs to play. Such an adorable spot- I would love to come back with both of our dogs during the summer to experience the peak season.

I tried their lavender milk tea boba (not spiked) pricey for $8 if you opt to spike it it's $12. I thought the milk tea was odd, it had some minty flavor to it like Vicks! :/ They also have cocktails, wines and beers and even slushies.

We stopped at Vincent William Winery for a late lunch in January 2025 before driving back home to…read moreChicago. It was our first visit to the winery, and ended up being the best meal of our entire trip. I rave about it to everyone. The inn and restaurant are absolutely gorgeous--thoughtfully designed, warm, and elegant--and the entire property truly stands out in the Grand River Valley. The setting is stunning: a unique lakefront location with peaceful views that feel more like a boutique estate than a typical winery. Even in winter, the atmosphere was serene and inviting. What really impressed us, though, was the pride the staff takes in the place. We were given a full tour of the property, and it was clear how dedicated and invested they are in ensuring Vincent William Winery succeeds. That level of care shows in every detail. As for the food--wow. Every dish we ordered was outstanding, from the warm, crusty bread with baked brie and preserves to the vibrant house meatballs and beautifully prepared entrées. The pasta was rich and comforting, and the pork chop was perfectly cooked with hearty, flavorful sides. Presentation was as thoughtful as the flavors. The cocktails were equally impressive. The Old Fashioned was balanced, smooth, and among the best I've had at a winery. Their wines were excellent as well, and I cannot wait until they launch a wine club--I'd be ready to sign up. The chef's classes also sound fantastic and would be a no-brainer for us if we lived locally. Truly, we have zero criticisms. Prices felt quite fair for the quality and experience. The property is exceptional, and the staff offers the kind of genuine hospitality that's increasingly rare. Vincent William Winery is a unique lakefront gem, and every time we're in Greater Cleveland, we'll make it a point to return.

There is a park right next door too for additional parking. The grounds are still being worked on as it is still springtime and I definitely need to come back during the summer season and when the weather isn't so dreary in northeast Ohio. We asked to sit at a table by the window but were told we couldn't sit there, mind you it was not busy at all and no one sat at that table the entire time we were there so I wasn't very happy with the staff. We ended up eating at the bar since we could still somewhat see the water that way. The food and drinks were absolutely phenomenal so that and the ambiance is the only reason I would consider coming back as the staff really ruined the experience for me. Glad I didn't book an overnight stay for that reason alone. Moscato Cabernet Sauvignon Lavender Margarita Honey Whipped Ricotta Dip Wagyu Burger

That said, it's pretty much the only coffee shop in the area, so it gets crowded fast. Be prepared for a bit of a wait, especially on weekends.

I am not sure if this a year-round item or a seasonal item, but I would order it if it's available! The pumpkin cheese muffin was also really good and I love a little pumpkin treat in the fall. We went to the Geneva State Park and sipped our coffees while walking along the lake and it was just a perfect, quiet morning.

I thought it odd since there were plenty of spaces available, but I can understand the need for it during the season. Overall, it was a good dining experience, just not totally happy with the tenderness of the beef.
