I don't know about the regular food but the farm stand's lovely, donuts among the best we've had, and I would go back every day for the soft serve ice cream if I could. Most soft serve places use horrible mixes that are full of air, too sweet, and lacking in ice cream. Not here. It was perfect. also a great place to buy gifts to bring home. Lots of real maple syrup. read more

I have been going here for years so I get apples sometimes I get some candy I've had breakfast and lunch there. They have cider donuts and other Bakery goods. They have a really cute gift shop. The staff is really nice. That being said I don't think I've ever really liked a breakfast sandwiches and I went there for breakfast yesterday and you go and you put your order in at one counter and then you bring your ticket to another window and then they call your number and you get your food. I got one egg cuz I didn't want a lot I wanted toast I only wanted one toes but they do two toes and hash browns it's one order wasn't a huge order everything was $16 including the egg toast bacon a soda 20 oz in a Mallo cup. I suppose it wouldn't have been so bad if I liked it. The bacon was not good. It was very greasy and kind of also dry and gritty. The egg had no seasoning. The toast was good the jam was good the hash browns were good. I don't enjoy them for breakfast. I did have the best fish sandwich I've ever had in my life there a long time ago it was a special. Was that fish sandwich and had a yummy sauce. It's a fun experience to go there by do not like the breakfast. I couldn't get anybody to eat this bacon except the dog and she can't eat bacon. read more

There's a good reason people rate this place so high. Not only is it an incredible farm stand for produce, but they make the most delicious breakfast and lunch entrees and sandwiches! I will be sure to include this as part of my itinerary for all of my Saratoga visits! read more

Wow people! Do better to screen your employees. The heavyset middle age woman with blonde hair that works at the bakery is a rude b*tch. Totally lacking emotional intelligence and customer service skills. Trying to power trip customers from behind a bakery glass is pitiful to those looking at you. I imagine she's the same worker mentioned in the negative 2022 review. To add a cherry to the day-the fritter she served tasted several days old and was no better than Dunkin. read more

The staff member had me going in circles! I ended up having anxiety! I just wanted a half dozen of doughnuts. Well buy a dozen and you get a dozen free. Just a half dozen please. It just kept going on and on . The tomatoes were from the wrong table , couldn't buy them . You had to be there. It was a sh$$ show. So I said I would like to check out. Clerk so you don't want any donuts? SMH! Another staff member looked over! I ended up walking with an orange! JK. The donuts were so dry! Seemed like day old ! read more

Absolutely love Lakeside Farm's! My husband and I had breakfast there today. You order at the counter, turn in your order slip and they announce you number as soon as it is ready. My husband enjoyed his hearty breakfast: Farmer Dick's breakfast special, 3 eggs over easy light rye toast, red bliss potatoes home fries and bacon. I dined on 1 blueberry pancake with three sausage links and real maple syrup. Their pancakes are large in size, light and airy. One is plenty for me and I love that they use little blueberries for their pancakes. The atmosphere at Lakeside Farms is bucolic. Lovely people, scrumptious food and we love to pick up some baked goods and Oscar's Irish bacon for home. Lakeside Farms is fantastic! read more

Lakeside Farms is such a treat! We ordered some pies ahead of Thanksgiving and decided to grab some lunch while we were there. The place was packed, but the lines were always moving. Service was exceptionally friendly and they have something for everyone. They have a general store, fresh market and a gift shop. We perused all of them and took home some baked goods along with holiday decorations. My turkey sandwich was simple, yet delicious. I also enjoyed their selection of sodas and beverages with cane sugar. read more

Lakeside Farms is a cozy village spot to shop for produce, meats, pastries, and it is a nice place to have lunch. My hubby and I had different pastrami sandwiches and cider.

I'm in so much trouble now! They also have $45 hanging flower baskets! I just love it here! read more

I have already written a lengthy positive review but today was special. Went there at 10 am with my daughter, SIL, and four and two year old grandchildren. We had a great time! Food was delicious as always. Today, my SIL decided to order the menu item: Egg Sandwich on an Apple Cider Donut! I never noticed that on the menu, and I was curious. Well, it was a hit; he liked it! We enjoyed seeing him eat every morsel. Check out the last photo. Both Pumpkin and Apple Cider Donuts were available. A taste of fall. It was a nice treat for the grands! Donuts made for a fun breakfast when eaten with quality crispy BACON. I had an open faced Turkey Reuben which was a little on dry side. Did not enjoy it. However, the brewed Birthday Cake Decaf Coffee I had was delicious! read more

We love coming here with our extended family. The restaurant area has an old style general store as part of it and a great little gift shop and farm stand next to it. You get in line with a menu and order at the counter. They call your number and you pick up your food at the window. Everything is excellent on the breakfast menu and we always order too much and take some home. One day we will go for lunch as I have heard it's great. Afterwards the farm is a great place for the little ones to run around and play. Highly recommend this for a good home style meal and for families. read more

I've loved this place for a while, it's amazing in all aspects every time I visit! The food is always delicious and served fresh. The staff are always kind and helpful. And typically, other customers are kind as well. read more

This place is SO CUTE. I live for little country stores like this. Fresh produce and local food finds, and they have fresh baked goods and hot meals?! We spent the first half of our visit perusing all of the nicnacs, local foods, produce, etc. everything was so tempting. I scoped a few things I wanted to purchase before we left. We ordered our breakfast from the counter and found a table to wait for our order to be called. I enjoyed my breakfast however my partner did not, so I guess it can be hit or miss. What can't miss is that bread though. I ordered the wheat bread and it was baked fresh in house. I couldn't leave without a loaf for myself. I also took advantage of their selections from Oscars Smokehouse and took home a nice smoked blue cheese. Simple good food, no frills. Excellent local food and produce store with unique finds and great baked goods. read more

What a great place! We all enjoyed the breakfast and the dining atmosphere. We could not leave without buying some delicious apple pies and apple cider donuts. When visiting the area this is definitely a "Must Stop"! read more

Not sure where to start ... breakfast is amazing and many options in addition to The best apple fritters and apple cider donuts. Breads are all homemade as is everything else. I don't live in the area now but in travels each year, get to stop here often. Today I purchased a huge lot Of fritters and donuts to bring home to family. Snagged a blueberry pie for the family dinner on Sunday. We dined on The Corrland - one of their speciality sandwiches which is amazing! It has roast Beef, turkey and bacon on in with Russian dressing and lettuce. Amazing and just Like it was 20 years ago! It now hosts on site a gift shop which has great goodies in it! Not a drive by place!! read more

We had found this restaurant completely by accident. We could not have been any luckier. They make the food fresh and in great time. I'm not a big breakfast guy but I'd come a lot if it was back home. read more

I was traveling from Vermont to Albany. Apologies. I dug right in before taking pictures. This place is a farm stand with a vibe--an area for food, a bakery, and a market. I had a chef salad with chunks of turkey breast, salami, ham, and Swiss and American cheese. I had to take half home with me; Lentil soup was my winner! Hot and full of lentils and veggies. Hubby had the Rueben, which came with chips, and finished his meal with a glazed donut. The coffee was perfect! I definitely will return! read more

Saw a sign off the freeway for a cider mill, obviously had to stop! About a 10-15 minute detour from the freeway. SOOOOOO WORTH IT! I am picky on my cider mills. One of the best cider doughnuts if not my new favorite and great cider. Not too sweet but still fresh! They also have a full service bakery/cafe. Great area for your kids to burn energy too. They had a Cider Witch for Halloween throwing candy, what a great experience especially for my non verbal son with autism. Everyone was so impressed! read more

Food is always good. Soup is delicious. Went there this past Saturday as we knew the restaurant was closing the season. Everyone was as if it was their opening day except the baked good. I bought a loaf of wheat bread and it was completely moldy by Monday morning. I should have figured that out beforehand. read more

Great food and wonderful people. They even have a gift shop. I even bought my mind there this year. And they still look great.

I have been going to Lakeside Farms for several years. It's just a fun place to shop and find things you wouldn't find elsewhere. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Their food is delicious. I'll be back a couple times this summer, and then in the Fall they have great apples, pears, etc. Their cider is the best around. read more

I love this place for soup and sandwich and it didn't disappoint! I had the beef barley soup and a roast beef sandwich on rye! I could only eat half of the sandwich but had the other half the next day for breakfast! The pumpkin cookies are my favorite. Their staff are so friendly. We sat for the first time down in the back at the picnic tables it was so nice. Sorry no pictures but I'll be back! Also picked up strawberries on my way out and they were so good! read more

Great breakfast just 15 minutes from Saratoga Springs. I had a short (but WIDE!) stack of blueberry pancakes this morning. Seriously, the pancakes are the size of a dinner plate! My husband had bacon, eggs and cheese on a hard roll, topped off with a Boston cream donut he said was the best he'd ever eaten. All this plus 2 bottomless cups of great coffee for around $20! read more

My husband has been coming here with his family his whole life so we've been coming here every summer and fall while visiting his family. They have the breakfast line down to a science. Food is always hot and delicious. We love the fresh cider donuts outside and of course the cider witch! My son just loves her and now that she's more interactive in her shed it's an even more fun experience. The place is charming and the gift shop is really sweet with some great finds. We will continue to come back and enjoy this treasure of a place for years to come. read more

The Cortland on sourdough. Coming off a big hike yesterday and a skipped dinner so I brought a big appetite. The 1/4 pound of Turkey, roast beef and slab bacon on sour dough went a long way to satisfying my hunger. The chips were entirely unnecessary. A fountain drink, refillable, and plentiful selection of gratis condiments and the homey barn environs complete the sense of having enjoyed a good farm-fresh and farmer-filling meal. read more

Lakeside Farms - The Cortland - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ballston Lake, New York

Lakeside is a perfect place for breakfast. Hot, tasty, and well prepared food. You order, pay, drop your paper order at a window, then grab a seat. Once your food is up they call your number to come pick it up at the window. It's a super casual atmosphere where locals come and grab breakfast or lunch together. The apple fritter French toast is a bit decadent but delicious and tasty, especially if you have a sweet tooth. The other breakfast fare seems like quality diner food, except the bread is fresh and epic. Also the shop has a bunch of fresh baked goods all of which look excellent. Expert tip: My uncle who visits often swears by buying the day old donuts and popping them in the air fryer. read more

As a first time visitor to Lakeside, had varying feelings/opinions about this venue. It is a good meal albeit, incorrect in so many ways. Bags received as a result of the order did not reflect what was actually ordered. Had I been a grumpy old lady, I may have tried to have the order corrected. Staff that I did meet were not the most friendly so getting it corrected might have been problematic. Trying not to stand in a long line (of non-socially distanced individuals) we put our order in online. ok. Ordered was an english muffin with his eggs and meats. He got home fries. SO said home fries were good, but not an english muffin. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with bacon, got breakfast sandwich with sausage patty. Ordered swiss cheese, got american. It's not a deal breaker, but was annoying just the same. Why put the info on the outside of the bag if you're not going to check to be sure you're actually putting said product in the bag? Store itself is a gold mine of fun things. Walls are lined with boxes of puzzles for sale. There are many products to take home and made your own breakfast. Coolers with a multiple products to take home. Outside, you can get your cider donuts with or without sugar coating. Cider is in the house, candy apples, and more. Pumpkins, gourds, hay, cider, veggys are also available in another section of the farm. Was a beautiful day for a drive to the farm. Had a nice breakfast and got our first of the season donuts. Parking is ok if you're willing to wait for someone to leave. Might be an easier visit Monday-Friday. read more

Great food. Family-run business. Good bake goods, small gifts and groceries. I believe it is closed unto end of April, but there is an upscale gift shop next door with an Adirondack feel. It has the usual novelties, plus furniture, curtains and linens, etc. read more

Good sandwich, squash apple soup was okay. Soup needed pepitas and maybe another layer of flavor as it was pretty monotonous and I tired of it quickly. The ladies taking orders at the counter were all business and could have been a bit more friendly but they were helpful in telling us how to order and pick up food. Seating was comfortable and theres plenty to look at. read more

As charming as ever with fresh cider donuts, breads and pies, a fabulous country bakery, produce market, gift shop and partial service restaurant with a great basic American menu. You order at the counter, pick up when your number is called and seat and bus yourself. This is s must stop if in the area. read more

Great seasonal farm stand any season. Great baked goods and coffee and especially the fresh produce.

First time here and lived in the capital district for almost 5 years. First off, what is wrong with me??? This place is amazing!! If you haven't checked it out you MUST do so now. Especially since they close for the season next week. I picked up just a few things but mind you, I could have spent a fortune here. I picked up a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie, apple cider (duh), cider donuts, a pumpkin cookie, picked beets, and some Mac salad. EVERYTHING WAS AWESOME!! I'm def going back for more right before they close. And you should too!! read more
