Oh so delicious ! Winsted truthfully needed this lovely Café. This Café has fantastic servers and food items ! You won't be disappointed AT ALL. And they have an icecream shoppe next door...how could you not love that! 10/10 in my books. The Ham and Cheese Sammie, refreshing cold lemonade, and chicken Caesar were all sooo good! Will be back.
When the menu is small, the Food will be good. The menu here is small, and the food was superb. It was easy to pick what I wanted. The food itself was really good and made fresh. The hot chocolate with whipped cream wasn't overly sweet, I deeply appreciated that. The eggs and vegetables were cooked perfectly. 10/10 highly recommend. Prices are also very affordable and the food is filling. The staff was very attentive and cheerful. They carried themselves courteously and graciously. This place is one to visit if you're ever in the Winstead area.
First time at this local Winsted establishment and very impressed. We arrived just after 11 AM which is when they take down the breakfast menu so we were only exposed to their lunch offerings - ended up taking their pulled pork BBQ sandwich and their tomato bisque soup - both very much to our liking. Coffee was nice and hot, service prompt, efficient, helpful and friendly. Decor and vibe are great. They go to a lot of trouble to use local ingredients with a farm-to-table ethic where possible. They make their own potato chips - very good. We will definitely be back and will definitely recommend to folk visiting with us from out of town. Street entrance has steps - we had crutches and were able to easily enter using their side/kitchen entrance. Wheelchair would have been very tricky. They have outside seating and various separate spaces inside.
I was shocked by how above expectations everything was. Caesar wrap, egg salad sandwich we're good, but the real stars of the show were the homemade potato chips. Those are, legit incredible. Additionally my vanilla latte was soooo smooth and creamy with great flavor. All the natural lighting compliments the cafe excellently and makes this place worth a stop in
I came in to enjoy a breakfast by myself while my daughter was at the American Mural Project. I was accommodated right away, the service was friendly, prompt, and attentive. I ordered a regular coffee and their keto bowl. The coffee was hot and tasted freshly brewed. The food was delicious. The cafe itself was very charming and’s cozy. Although the dining rooms are on the smaller side, it didn’t feel cramped at all. I definitely would recommend anyone in the area or passing by to stop by and check them out!
This place was great!!! It's absolutely adorable with a nice atmosphere and decor. The staff was all friendly and attentive and helpful! I ended up getting waffles with a side of bacon and drip coffee, and my husband got a breakfast grilled cheese with a pistachio latte. Everything tasted amazing!! The waffles were the perfect texture. The berries and whipped cream were generously portioned. The bacon was *perfect!!!* I'm a coffee snob but they have good stuff! I tried my husband's sandwhich and it was also great! We will definitely be back again.
What an adorable café. Very homie warm and welcoming. Server was attentive food came out quickly and hot. Would like to go back and do lunch there. I would highly recommend.
Great!! Terrific restaurant, lots of options and the food is delicious. Fresh and very healthy. Vegan and gluten free options. I had the smoky black bean soup and the ham sammy. So good!! Such a nice place “Nestled in the foothills of the Berkshire mountains.” Great coffee in an amazing mug.
One of the best breakfast spots in the state, and definitely the best in the NW corner. It's a small family run business which I always love to support. The food is always spot on. The presentation is top notch. The service is above and beyond. If you haven't eaten here yet come try out your new favorite breakfast spot. You won't be disappointed.
Already had a great morning and Piper is such a joyful sweetheart. She is a gem to Railway Café. Her energy, calmness and kindness blew me away. Thank you for making my morning even better! Ordered, The Conductor, with texas white toast. Honestly, I haven't had this good of a toast with butter in so long! I also ordered the Tangerine spritzer and cookie butter iced latte with oat milk which was a treat. You will be praised with kindness. Quiet and very comfortable cozy atmosphere. I do feel as someone can win over a date here. 🌹 Great quiet area. At the time, street parking was not an issue. No traffic. Great location. I was happy and thrilled to visit this highly rated café.
