My wife, son and I often make the 40 minute trip over from Middlebury just to eat at this great little spot nestled along scenic Rt. 100 in the beautiful Green Mountains. It has a warm and welcoming atmosphere with friendly service and the food is always fantastic. I am never quite sure whether or not to have the Turkey... More

If you are passing through the small town of Rochester, VT on the way up route 100, you must stop at The Rochester Cafe. The food is amazing. They have milk shakes and lattes also. The vanilla chai is excellent. There is also a quaint vermont country style gift shop attached that even offers penny candy. The service is hit... More

Living locally, I go to the Rochester Cafe often. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere is great. The food is what keeps me going back for more. The service is outdated and even when the restaurant is far from busy, the waitstaff seems overwhelmed and doesnt focus on catering to their customers. When I order a cup of coffee... More

My Wife and I have been coming here for years, for the great breakfast and lunches. Everything is fresh and the variety on the menu makes for some great choices. Whenever we visit from New Jersey, usually for skiing, we also stop in at least once at the Rochester Cafe during our visit. More

Ever since discovering this gem, about ten years ago, I have often stopped there when taking visitors up-and-down the spine of Vermont on scenic Rte. 100. The food is outstanding, the portions generous, the service excellent. "Do something well and the world will beat a path to your door." Such is the case with the Rochester Cafe. I gladly add... More

The Rochester Cafe is half cafe and half country store. It has an ecclectic menu ranging from salads with sprouts and wraps to the "classics." Everything is served quickly and with a smile. They have a front porch overlooking Main Street, and they also offer free wi-fi, which in Rochester is a blessing! We went to the Cafe as just... More

Stopped in while passing through on a trip from Georgia. What a find! The breakfast was amazing; lots of fresh-tasting food prepared just perfectly. Everything was excellent; bacon, eggs, pancake, whole-grain bread, cofee, and - of course, the syrup. The location is very quaint and nostalgic and the service was as friendly as anything I've encountered here in the south.... More
