Coffee shop with self service ordering in the main lodge at Holiday Valley. A good location if you need to warm up, grab a coffee or grab a quick bite. They serve Starbucks coffee and have standard food like pastries, sandwiches for breakfast or lunch, breakfast burritos, soup, salad, etc, they also have a lot of pre packaged food, drinks and alcohol. I appreciated that they had gluten free food options. We ordered some coffees. They were ready quick, hot and fresh. Prices are a little high but what you would expect for a ski resort. read more

Terrible service at McCarty Café at this resort. It's a little café located at the base of the hills. I came here with a friend over the weekend and stopped in to order 2 drinks and some snacks to eat after a few hours on the slopes. Everything was fine until it came to getting my drink. I ordered a 16 oz café mocha, which took over 10 minutes to get. The waiting time wouldn't have been an issue, but the problem was that everyone else was getting served ahead of us. More than 2 caramel macchiato's were served to people who had ordered after us. I used to be a bartender/barista, I know how long espresso drinks take to make and how they're made. There's no reason to serve caramel macchiato's first and a cafe mocha afterwards, all these drinks take about the same amount of time to create. My friend asked the girl who was making our drinks 3 times, where our drink was. She kept saying that she's making it, while not making it. We finally got our drink after another customer in line made comments about our situation out loud, and the barista overheard. Another guest in line had noticed how long we were waiting for our drink and made comments out loud about how ridiculous it was, which spurned the barista into completing our order. ANOTHER NICE GUEST HAD TO INTERVENE. When she did end up making the drink, she made the 12 oz. We had to reitorate that we had ordered the 16 oz. She remade it and I believe she just threw in more milk or water, as it ended up tasting like nothing. This is supposed to be a Starbucks frianchise cafe mocha. I've had it a million times before, what they served was hot water tinged with a taste of mocha. Now, we are both of Asian descent, my friend and I. We both speak perfect english and I was born in North America. There was no reason to be acting this way towards us, even if we weren't native to this continent. PSA, avoid the blotchy haired girl at McCarty's Cafe with the mess of orange, yellow and blonde on top of her head if you're a POC. Her personality is the same as her hair, confused and a mess. read more

Came out to Ellicottville early on a Sunday morning. Almost nothing is open. But the bright spot in my day upon my arrival was finding McCarty's Cafe. Nestled in the lower level of Holiday Valley, it truly was a gem worth seeking out. Along with serving Starbucks coffee and Hot Chocolate, they have an amazing breakfast sandwich you can almost completely customize. What kind of cheese do you want? Type of meat? Pick your bread. The combinations are boundless. I got myself a chai tea latte and a ham and Swiss on a bagel breakfast sandwich. While sitting out on the patio and listening to the squirrels rustling, it was truly a delight. read more

This place is the only spot to grab breakfast within walking distance of the Tamarack Club. In the summer, it caters to the golfers looking for grab and go coffee and food. On this particular Sunday, counter service was a disaster. The two teenage girls working the counter were doing their best, but they should have just put a pause on making any kind of lattes. Regular coffee should be on the counter for self-serve. The food is ready relatively quickly, but be prepared to hunt down your coffee order. read more

Came to this place for a first time ski and snowboard lesson. The aroma of the goodies was a distraction. Afterwards I went over with my daughters and bought some chocolate peanut butter brownies. Standing there we ate them all. No regrets. Well there was one, I should have bought more. Back home now and I've been dreaming about them ever since. Love the texture and the crater-like top. Ultra delicious like nothing I've ever experienced. You seriously should consider shipping them to customers and definitely NEVER discontinue them. read more

McCarty's Cafe - Yeah try finding another brownie as good as THIS! - Cafes Near Me - Ellicottville, New York

Decent breakfast sandwich and Starbucks coffee. McCarty's Cafe is located inside Holiday Valley, the massive resort in the Village of Ellicotville. It's a small unassuming place with a few booths, tasty sandwiches and kind employees. I was recently here for a meeting and got a breakfast sandwich with bacon and cheese on an English muffin. The eggs were fresh, the bacon freshly sizzled and the coffee was your standard what-you-come-to-expect-from-a-Starbucks-extra-strong-roast. I also remember dining here years ago after a few hours of skiing and enjoying a tasty sandwich with avocados, but my memory of said sandwich is hazy. The cafe is nothing special, but it's also nice for what it is. A getaway after fun resorting at Ellicotville, whatever that may have been. read more

A nice place to drop in for a quick hot chocolate - and a cinnamon bun. Rumour has it that the cinnamon buns and Danishes are all baked daily by a local lady who comes in to do them. The sandwiches are also pretty good and a little less chaotic than the cafeteria upstairs. It can get a little crowded, especially on weekends, but all in all, a nice little spot to drop in on. read more

Great freshly made desserts, calm relaxing atmosphere to relax for a break while skiing or snowboarding. Reasonably priced compared with the other food here. read more

Great place to take a break after tumbling down the hill on a snowboard. It's right in the main lodge, very convenient, bathrooms are out in the main hall, and if you want a little more atmosphere you can take your purchases up to the second floor where there is a fireplace. They serve Starbucks coffee. I had a perfeclty decent chai latte and was happy to learn they have soy milk. read more

After spending some time riding the chairlift to the top of Holiday Valley my wife and I decided to stop and grab a coffee. We saw McCartys cafe open and thought we'd stop in, there were about 5-6 people in line and we noticed there were a lot of errors happening up front, we saw the sign that the Espresso machine was broken but noticed that the girl taking the orders couldn't figure out what needed the Espresso Machine and what wouldn't , as such they kept having to reverse orders and alter people's wants. We saw 4 people behind the counter and none of them knew what was going on and only wanted to bicker amongst each other. Terrible first impression, only gave 2 stars because it was warm inside and cold outside which felt good, Mother Nature earned them an extra star. read more

Decent place directly under the main lodge mountain side. Decent breakfast food, poor customer service- we seemed to be bothering them just coming in to place an order. I always love when I feel like that at a restaurant. coffee was good and strong though! read more

Cold on the slopes? Step inside here and warm up. Good selection of hot and cold beverages, snacks, sandwiches, and the most delicious - smelling cinnamon rolls. (Notice I said smelling and not tasting). I couldn't bring myself to eat one! read more
