    The food was delicious, the service was fast the coffee on point! I ordered oatmeal with fruit & hostess recommended maple syrup on the side.. yum yum, everyone on my table was happy with their order omelet with feta cheese and spinach and steak with avocado, and a pesto chicken sandwich. The ambiance I loved it! I would definitely come back here whenever I'm in the area.

    I was in Bemus Point for one weekend for a bachelorette party & I loved this place so much I came twice before we left! The inside is so cute and I loved the atmosphere/decorations in this cafe! The workers were very sweet and let us take our time deciding! I ordered a Smores latte and OH MY GOD was it delicious!!! I got the large and I somehow still wanted more when I was done! My friend ordered the Lake Life latte and said that it was also delicious - not too sugary/sweet and could still taste the coffee!! Some of us also ordered a breakfast sandwich!! We all got the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich and it was really good! I ordered mine on an everything bagel...I think it adds more flavor than any other flavor bagel, but my friends enjoyed their sandwiches just as much as I did!! I don't know if I will ever be back around this area, but if I am...you will find me here! (:

    Biking to Lake Life Cafe for a late breakfast. Even on a Wednesday it's steadily busy, but having come since they opened a few years ago I still see why. I got my usual breakfast sandwich, but also tried the new August mocha: a white mocha with blackberry cold foam. Even though I usually get hot drinks or a frappuccino this was a nice little change and I enjoy the effort a small restaurant puts into having a changing and diverse menu! Despite other options nearby for breakfast and lunch, this remains my go to for a quick stop. Whether eating in or picking up using the convenient app, I've never had bad service or food. Only on one occasion was the wait quite long, but it was a busy Saturday the week off July 4 so what do you expect? It's especially nice when I do art shows in the nearby park, when a fast app preorder lets me get my food without missing potential customers at my tent. Thank you guys!

    I'm going to drop my review a little, because I believe the quality here has dropped. Coffee still taste good, people behind the counter are nice, but what has happened to the food? Got avocado toast with an over easy egg which I am posting a picture of. Now the avocado toast without an egg is $7. It's one slice of toast with barely any avocado. I mean in places it looked as though it barely changed the color of the bread. I realize that costs are going up but when you have to skimp on something so much that it doesn't even barely resemble the product it's supposed to be... I asked if they could do an over easy egg, to which I heard, "absolutely!" It wasn't even remotely runny, and actually over done. Not a busy morning, just low quality. This is not the only time we've noticed this type of thing. Please step it up, would love to update my review.

    We found this cafe based on the Yelp reviews and it didn't disappoint! We're staying on the lake for a family vacation and are surprises that there aren't more quick lunch spots like this one. The outdoor deck comfortably sat 10 of us (including 2 in strollers). We loved the sweet iced tea, chicken salad sandwich, and turkey/brie panini! Great food and the service was more than we would have expected considering how busy they were.

    Kitchen bottleneck lead to a 45 minute wait for two sandwiches. Huge facility with a one stove kitchen. I wish them many successes but this will cost them customers if they do not fix it. While I waited I heard them say "sorry for the wait" at least 40 times. That has got to be stressful.

    This spot is a great addition to Bemus! Great service, food & coffee. The avocado toast is severely lacking though.

    I went for breakfast and tried the cinnamon roll pancakes, which is a signature item here and not…read morewas it the most indulgent and delicious thing I've ever had. And they were massive and I genuinely could only finish one of them at the time. I don't know if the picture does it justice to jshow how large it really was! since I got a combo, it came with eggs as well as choice of breakfast meat, which I got sausage. The side of homemade applesauce was actually for the regular style of pancake I got which I was just curious what that would taste like together as I've never had it before. I enjoyed it, but actually liked eating them both separately more. Everything came out of the kitchen quickly and I could tell this is definitely a popular morning spot with locals as the owner and other staff were very friendly and on a first name basis with many other patrons inside. Definitely my kind of spot. One thing to note is this place is cash only, so keep that in mind but I do believe there was an ATM on site as well.

The waiter took our order and I chose the chocolate chip pancakes. The service was on par for a busy Sunday with many people so that was pretty good. I ate the pancakes and they were so big! I could not finish them. This is a really nice place to eat and I recommend this to everyone reading this. 5 stars.

We had our dog with us so we only planted to get carry out, and then we discovered a shaded patio. We decided to stay and eat outside. I was standing at the host stand for quite a while because I hadn't noticed the seat yourself sign. I had also walked in the restaurant and was looking around for any employee - two servers at a table saw me standing there looking confused but then just went right back into the kitchen. When another guest pointed out the sign, I thought well that's great but if we want to sit outside will they ever know we are there. Someone finally returned to the bar and we were able to get a server. We ended up ordering three appetizers - skoat balls, cheese sticks, peach Burrata. All three good. I also ordered a blueberry mint mocktail beer that was actually quite disappointing. It was also quite a charming little town! Would like to go back again sometime, sadly that is unlikely to ever happen.
