Great fresh food. Cute restaurant. Kind staff. We all enjoyed our meals. We will be back.

We decided to try out a new to us restaurant for lunch today. The Old Farm Cafe piqued our interest. My sister placed our orders at the counter & we chose a table near the wall. The woman taking the order did not tell us how the system works - leaving us puzzling as we sat at the table. My sister went up after we waited awhile, & asked. It appears some items were ready & she was going to bring it to us after everything was ready. The food: I ordered the 3 pc chicken tenders with honey mustard dipping sauce & the "loaded" ( ) tater tots. The tenders were good - crispy, not greasy, tender, not dried out. The breading was slightly salty. I liked the dipping sauce. The tater tots came & the first 3 I tried were not even the slightest bit warm. I saw a few clumps of what I think was thin melted orange cheese with I guess thin bacon crumbles. The most off putting thing about the potatoes was an odd unpleasant taste which I attribute to whatever oil they were cooked or coated in. Whatever it was left a chemical kind of taste in my mouth. On a different note, while the decor is charming, the chairs are uncomfortable. Altogether it was a disappointing experience. My sister spoke to the manager, after we finished, and he offered a replacement for the potatoes but she declined. Since the order was paid for upfront, there wasn't an offer to comp for the distasteful food read more

The atmosphere had a cool, chill cafe vibe. The lighting and decor were unique and creative. The staff had a sort of nonchalance-ness to them, as if they were indifferent to whether there were expecting patrons at the tables. While I ordered a side of seitan and an egg, I had to go ask about them after I finished my first waffle, which meant they forgot about them. The seitan were two broken up pieces of Morning Star vegan bacon and I never received my egg. This is a relaxed place to eat at, but don't expect quality service and attentiveness. read more

This place is absolutely magical! You feel like you are transported to a farm house with sweeping orchestral scores. There's even an animatronic owl (who appeared to be broke during our visit). It took awhile to receive our drinks and food. Maybe like 30-40 mins which seems a lot for this type of place but when we finally received it everything tasted great! They drinks were fresh and tasty. The food was healthy and well prepared. Aside from the longer wait times this place was a treat and 100% worth a visit for a unique and tasty experience! read more

This place is so adorable and definitely a unique experience. We went during the day and there wasnt a show or anything but still was worth going to! The Mediterranean flatbread was absolutely delicious and well worth the cost. My partner got the chicken sandwich, and while it was good, it was a little over priced since it didnt come with chips or a side. The workers were polite. read more

We had a pleasant visit to old farm cafe. Staff was very nice and all food was very fresh. It took a bit to get the food but once the order came out everyone was happy with their food. read more

Definitely an experience more than a cafe-- the ambiance and environment is so whimsical and cute with the forest aesthetic. The decor is hand painted and it feels like being on a theatre set. Staff are friendly and there are plenty of seating indoors and is overall a family friendly spot. The food and drink itself is probably the least memorable. The menu was quite pricey and felt average. read more

Very sad to report that I was very disappointed with the old farm cafe. We were so ready to love this place and it just sadly fell short. First - the prices are outrageous. I spent over 30 dollars on a BLT, a side of macaroni and cheese, and a cupcake. Realistically that is the price of a meal at a sit down restaurant. Which this place is not. The BLT was not very good, the bread was way too toasted, it just crumbled apart. And we are pretty sure that the plastic lining of the Mac and cheese cup was melting into the macaroni. It smelled and tasted like chemicals. The staff was really nice but I simply can not afford to come back here. Ambiance was good. Wish the prices and the food matched the cool idea of this place. read more

We stopped in for a meal around 1 on a Sunday. There was no special event going on. The inside is pretty cool, definitely kind of farmhouse chic. There was a good mix of people. The food was okay. Nothing to write home about, but not bad. They were very busy and it seemed like they might have been short staffed. Definitely took our food awhile to come out, but the person preparing the food was very friendly. read more

We ate breakfast there today, New Years Day, and had a very good meal. We placed our order at the counter with super friendly woman (in wish I had gotten her name). We were 3 people and had 2 breakfast wraps, one standard and one with meat, the French toast sticks and shared an order of tots. The food was fresh, hot, delicious and delivered to our table, the coffee and Chai latte were served warm, not too hot to drink. We learned they do catering as well and are open evening when they have shows at the cabaret next door. Fun decor, farm theme, a different place to eat. We would definitely visit again! Thanks for taking good care of us. read more

My husband and I ate lunch here last week and three hours later were very, very sick with food poisoning. While there, we knew the food was poor quality--but we didn't expect to become so ill. The service was poor, the food not fresh. Stay away from this place. read more

This place is SOOOO cute! Think of cafe in a theater setting. The outside of the building doesn't do it justice. You walk up and honestly have no idea what's behind the door. Then you open and go OMG... soooo cute! The entire space is comfortable and quaint. The food was good. The service was kind and prompt. This would be a great spot for a business meeting, book club, event, etc. read more

Stopped this morning after running errands and it was a fun, pleasant and tasty visit. Can't wait for my next visit- and I won't wait long. My husband had his beloved cappuccino and I my standard Hot Chai Tea Latte. We had eaten some breakfast before running our errands so not very hungry- but we had room to split a sausage egg breakfast sandwich! Everything was fantastic. So glad we stopped. Excited to see upcoming drag brunch with Mrs Kasha Davis- seems like the old days, thinking about going out in public- for fun and food! read more

They correctly name their place Old Farm Cafe and Dining "Experience", because it was totally a wholesome experience sitting in the cafe. From the outside, the windows are all covered up with plates so we were a bit skeptical at first, but once you go in, we were captive . It honestly feels like we went into Disneyland or Universal Studio. The people who work there were very nice to us. The coffee was good to be honest. The latte was very good, it became my go-to coffee in Rochester. The cappuccino was also good, I'm just sad they did not use a mug for it and make some latte art with it... Overall, it was totally worth it to go here, even for the experience only, it was magical. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in Rochester! read more

As a fan of themed experiences who has been known to engage in the occasional work-from-Disney World trip, I was excited to read about The Old Farm Cafe in the D&C. It was everything I hoped it would be. As a themed experience, the details are fantastic. As soon as you walk in, it feels and sounds like nighttime. It's the same vibes you get at The Blue Bayou in Disneyland or inside the Mexico Pavilion at Epcot. Even the bathroom is themed! It's a great combination of hand painted scenes and practical themey objects, like the porch where performances take place or a water feature. There's also an animatronic owl. I hope to one day learn that the owl has a name and a back story. Surely it would be enough if it were merely an excellent theme, but the food is good, too. It would have been easy to do typical Rochester fare of hot dogs and wings, but their menu is varied and modern. Lots of healthy options, and the theming carries through to the food and drinks. Both times I've visited (about 10am), I was the only customer when I arrived, but others joined later. I really hope they're able to maintain staying opened during non-show hours because it's a peaceful and inspiring place to get some work done and have breakfast. Please come check it out and support themed experiences and hots-free menus in Rochester! read more

This cafe is definitely different from other cafes I have gone. It is more ranchy and somewhat Amazon sensation type cafe to me. It's not very dim in the cafe but it's very relaxing and enjoy the drinks. Their drinks were good! Impressive! Their service was great and very welcoming when I first came to the register to make some decisions on food and drinks. I asked them for dairy free options and they were very nice by showing me cartons to choose for my drink. I appreciate their efforts and definitely want to go back for sure! The parking lot has a plenty of spots to park since it is in the plaza. I would recommend anyone to go there for their delicious drinks and food plus relaxing as well! read more

A group of us went for a special event : Drag me out to Brunch. The entertainment was enjoyable. For the money spent for a brunch special event we expected the food buffet to be better? There was a fruit bowl which was probably the best part of the buffet. In addition to that there were eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, and a quinoa fruit dish as well. The potatoes were dry, and the bacon was tough. The sausage was ok, along with the eggs. If we wanted coffee we had to pay additional for that, and the brunch ticket included a mimosa, which was decent. So, we bought coffee and treats from the Cafe, which were pretty tasty. As this was a special event brunch they weren't making anything off their regular menu, so my guess those items would be much better than the buffet brunch. The atmosphere was different, no windows, but a night time out door feel. read more

I love that carry the "Tu Amor" Keto and sugar-free desserts! They are so good. Hopefully, they restock more often.

Great setting, unique coffee, and very immersive. Definitely check it out if you've never been there.

The Old Farm Cafe popped up in my yelp as a breakfast idea. The ambience is worth the experience. It was easy to forget that you were stepping into a suburban plaza . As soon as you walk in the door, the lighting changes and you feel like you are in a magical forest. The food is not bad, it was simple and uninspiring. My husband and I split a piece of breakfast pizza, a wrap, and a hash brown. Everything was pretty bland but it wasn't terrible. I would definitely go to have a cup of coffee or tea, or do some work on my laptop. read more

Nice place for coffee or lunch! The space is big and they host fun events from time to time. The food is delicious but a bit pricey. Spacious parking lot in a quiet area. read more

The cafe stop you MUST make!!! The soft sounds of a waterfall, flute playing and birds chirping with the addition of blue and white lights and walls decorated like I'm in a field in the middle of summer somewhere! Then don't forget, the breakfast sandwich made how YOU like it with so many options!! Service was amazing, served with a smile and so helpful read more

Fantastic food. I eat there often. The Caesar Salad is best in city. The Cafe ambience is a work of art. There is a joy here. Check before going as it has to close at times when a show is happening in the Cafe. read more

This is Brady! Had brunch there last week and food and drinks were really good! Love the theme, the animatronics and the atmosphere. It's like a Disney barn meets Ellen's Star Dust Diner! recommend for watching a show or having brunch! read more

The atmosphere is different and relaxing. Went right after the holidays and they had holiday music and beautiful decorations. We ordered some chai teas and coffee which were good, however, the food was not good. If you're looking for fresh cooked food this is not the place. Microwaved pizzas, and prepackaged eggs is what you'll get. Disappointed and will not be going back. read more

Came for the cute theme. Won't be returning because of the bland food. I thought there would be sound effects like birds chirping and waterfall noises. Didn't hear any. Cheese on the breakfast wrap and breakfast pizza was too crispy. A lot of time was spent on decorating, but more time needs to be spent developing the menu. No cars in the parking lot should of been a sign to skip it. Counter service was okay. I thought there would be a more energetic vibe. Nope. read more

Don't go here. Took us almost an hour for a breakfast sandwich and a waffle. The manager got snotty and said there's orders ahead of us. Told them I wanted a refund, and she got an attitude saying do you want us to make a food or not. The manager complained they were short staffed but they were 7 crew members standing around. Don't go here, It's a waste of your time, and management is rude and not accommodating. read more

Went for a late breakfast last week. I'd been looking forward to trying this place. The woman at the counter was unfriendly and made us feel rushed, though there was no one else there. We asked about the various desserts, most of which she had no idea what they were, nor was she in any way inclined to find out for us. We ended up just ordering a cupcake and a cappuccino. The cupcake was dry, and the frosting tasted like marshmallow fluff. The cappuccino was just really bad - tasted as though it was made with regular coffee rather than espresso. We left without finishing either of the item, and went to Fox's next door instead. We definitely won't be going back. read more

We enjoyed our experience and the food! Dinner and a bev here before our first show at the "Broadway in Brighton" Series made the evening complete! Great date night :) read more

Unique place! Saw the pictures on yelp and was in the area. It definitely has community theater vibes as advertised. The coffee was good, the breakfast sandwich was average. Props to the staff in full farm costumes! Ample seating but a bit of wait for food. Probably worth checking out if you're in the area to experience it! read more

This is a very interesting space. The food was pretty good and the staff was extremely friendly! It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, even if it's just to see the interior. read more

The Old Farm Cafe opened this week and what a delight! The farm theme is fabulous and transports you! We ordered a cappuccino, cold brew and latte. All expertly prepared by the knowledgeable baristas! I look forward to my next visit! read more

This is such a quirky place I couldn't resist. It is decorated like a farmstead inside and the menu is actually really good and fresh. There is a stage where tehre are performances but unfortunately not the day I went. I wish there was more acting or experiences farm related between staff and customers... maybe dress like a farmer and have some farming banter?? Idk - but was fun for lunch read more

Went here after a very entertaining kid's performance at OFC next door and were very disappointed. Staff was friendly and tried hard but they were overwhelmed and woefully understaffed (on a Sunday). It took almost an hour for the food to arrive, which was bland and completely tasteless (cannot recommend the avocado toast, nor the flavorless breakfast sandwich, nor the chicken tenders!!!). We would have had a much better meal at a Wendys. Hoping their salads are better! read more

Great concept and you don't feel like you're in Rochester! Food really good and fresh and open for breakfast and lunch and dinner. They have in restaurant shows and events too! Good luck OFC! read more

I came here for a craft vendor fair. Ample parking. Decorated in a creative and lively manner. Good size menu for food and drink. There was no cover charge and I got to enjoy live music and I walked around to see all the vendors. The food and my drink were delicious from the cafe , however the wait was long. I understand due to capacity of people attending the craft fair but going forward I would recommend a number system so customers know how far out they are from receiving their order. I was too afraid to walk far from the counter in case I couldn't hear my order called due to the live band playing. It took over an hour to get my egg sandwich. If I knew the # order they were on I could have had a better time management to know where I was in the queue. That's my only recommendation, thanks for a fun time! read more
