Finally got to have breakfast at the Ribbon Cafe and again I'm not in the least disappointed! I had their 3 egg omelet with sausage & ham & cheese. It came with home fries and toast. I decided on the Rye bread toast. The omelet was cooked to perfection, potatoes were not greasy and the toast was excellent. I'm not sure where they get the rye bread from, but it was just so yummy! This breakfast impressed me enough to return the next day to have it again. This place is a quaint little cafe which isn't fancy, but the food, service and prices are very reasonable. read more

High quality lunch place specializing in sandwiches. There's plenty of on-street parking, which makes access easy. Inside, the space is cozy, with about a half dozen tables and a small bar with stools off to the side. It is usually not too crowded, so you can pick your own table. The wait staff is prompt and efficient, ensuring things move smoothly. Daily specials are written on the wall, offering a nice variety. I haven't tried their breakfast, so this review is for lunch only. The Blue Ribbon is a go-to spot for sandwiches at lunch. Their menu features a variety of options, including Panini sandwiches, Cuban sandwiches, and an array of other creative choices. Every sandwich I've tried has been exceptional. It's clear that each one is carefully crafted with attention to detail. I once had the fried fish sandwich, and it exceeded my expectations. The Blue Ribbon also offers desserts that change daily, adding an extra touch of variety to their menu. Their chowder is excellent in terms of quality--rich and flavorful. However, the portion size leaves something to be desired. What they call a "bowl" of chowder is more like the size of a cup at other places. If you're extremely hungry or looking to indulge in a big meal, this may not be the best spot. But if you're in the mood for a high-quality lunch in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, this place is definitely worth a visit. Prices are on the high side, but, but worth every penny. read more

I was really looking forward to trying the coffee here. I walked in at 2:54pm. I get they close at 3pm, but it's just a cup of regular coffee I was after for my drive. well, I walked in and the woman said they were closed, to which I said "oh it's 2:55." I wasn't being a dick, the door was unlocked, the open sign was out. then the woman got huffy and was like "well we're pretty much out of everything so we're closed." I said okay and went to leave and she yelled " you can go be an asshole somewhere else." really classy place this is. I was an asshole for walking in when it was open apparently. well this asshole will take his money and business elsewhere.

We stopped for breakfast due to Yelp reviews & I was not impressed. Very heavily decorated for Valentines Day and a nice explanation on the menu about the name. I asked for water and was told no tap water due to COVID19 (is that a thing?!) and didn't feel like paying $1 for a bottle of water. The omelette was meh. Very runny which I adore in my scrambled eggs but am sort of indifferent to in an omelette. Home fries were ok but needed salt. My partner's omelette was excellent though because he had the house made sausage which he loved. Maybe you need to order their house made specialties for awesome food. Good service and good safety measures but I wouldn't return. read more

Do you ever meet someone for the first time and the encounter makes you happy the rest of the day? My family and I had one of those experiences today at the Ribbon Cafe. We stopped for breakfast while traveling for the Easter weekend. The lady who greeted us and waited on us, Christine, was one of the friendliest and warmest people I have ever met. Seriously, this lady is so wonderful!!! It turns out, her brother is the owner/chef and he prepared breakfast for the five of us quickly and efficiently. We ordered a variety of dishes and were all very pleased. The buttermilk pancakes were a particular highlight in addition to the Easter cupcake my wife got for the road. I should also note that they use proceeds from the restaurant to support various cancer support organizations, and provide free meals to homebound cancer patients. Still need a reason to check this out?...........did I mention that Christine might be one of the nicest people you will ever meet?? read more

My wife and I found this awesome little cafe driving through town. We were looking for a breakfast spot, and we found the nicest atmosphere , friendliest staff and best food in Ballston Spa, NY. Our server was Christine (who I think was the owner, but I didn't ask). She was very attentive and although there were several other tables filled with customers, Christine made us feel like we were the only ones there. The food was delicious, prepared with pride and expertise. Everything on the menu was reasonably priced. We told Christine we were from Seattle and just passing through on our way up to Cooperstown. She proceeded to tell us that this humble little cafe beat the Seattle based Pike Place Chowder Co. earning 1st place for the Best Chowder in the Nation! Being from Seattle, I was well aware of Pike Place Chowder Co. and how amazing their chowder is, so I purchased 2 quarts of Ribbon Cafe Chowder to-go. It was the 2nd best chowder I've ever tasted. The best New England style chowder I've ever tasted is my own recipe that I stole from Seattle Style Restaurant which closed years ago. Of course, I'm a little biased, and I've never entered mine into a national competition! Ribon Cafe also has a monthly raffle to raise money for children and families dealing with medical hardships. Stop in for some great food and support the Ribbon Cafe Family and their efforts to support the local community. Your friends from Seattle read more

Stopped for lunch on our way from Burlington Vt to Syracuse and found this gem. It was about noon on Friday and it surprisingly was not crowded at all. The staff was friendly and the food was great. My friend and I both got soup and 1/2 sandwich which I expected to be boring but my tomato soup was delicious and my friend's andouille sausage and chicken soup apparently was good as well. I had a 1/2 ham sandwich and the bread was unbelievably thick and fresh and amazing. I was eying my friends turkey sandwich because the turkey was so thick it looked like it was cut right off the bone. They had lots of tasty sounding specials and a pretty well rounded menu as well. The cupcakes looked good but we were both full. I'm guessing it wasn't busy because it's off the beaten path but we're glad we found it. read more

Cute little place nestled off the main road. The hostess is so kind and gracious. She really feels genuine. The food I ordered (Cheese steak sandwich) actually had seasoning and a lot flavor unlike many other places around. The cook and other patrons kept staring at me. I'm guessing they have never seen a person like me in the neighborhood. It was a little uncomfortable, but the hostess makes up for it with her graciousness. Portion was a little smaller than what I'm used to, but the prices are also lower than other places which is always a plus in my book. Will I ever go back? Absolutely!

This is a small, unassuming place with terrific food. I would be remiss if I didn't mention their award winning Shrimp Chowder. Hands down, the best chowder I've ever had. Chock full of shrimp, bacon and potatoes and served with a crab wonton, it is flavorful, filling and perfect on a cold Winter's day (or any day for that matter)!

I visited here when my first yelp choice had a down credit card reader. I didn't have cash, so I went looking. Ribbon Cafe is a block off the main drag, so it's not 100% visible as you drive by, but well worth making a turn. I had breakfast. Specifically, a pannini with shaved steak, egg, cheese peppers and onions. Served with home fries. The sandwich was excellent. Good proportion of ingredients and didn't need extra salt, which would have been difficult since the cheese glued it together. The home fries were lightly seasoned, cooked till soft then fried to proper (partially) crispiness. The coffee was excellent. The service was good and everybody who worked there asked me how my breakfast was. Perhaps a few customers too, I'm not sure :) I'd come back. (Sorry, no photos) read more

Instead, water, Cola ($3), and a winter warming Chatham - Oh Snaps! ($8) were our appetizers. The Oh Snaps brown ale was smooth and flavorful with its addition of cinnamon and ginger.

The owner was super personable, and the server was just the right amount of attentive. I ordered the chicken piri piri, and it presented beautifully. I felt comforted by the food. The tender grilled chicken parted from the bone with a twist of my fork and the mashed sweet potato was a great partner to the savory, citrusy, and slightly spicy piri piri. Im not even a chicken thigh person, but this dish changed me. I actually felt tended to and taken care of by the food! Does that even make sense??? It did when I was eating because that's how I felt.

Now it's true that the food here is nothing special. But neither did I find it to be bad. What made…read morethis experience great was our server! She was kind, sweet, attentive and definitely a good up salesman. The sheer amount of time that they allowed us to occupy a table here was truly impressive. Nobody was rude or kicked us out. We were there forever and they were busy! I really enjoyed the cool, comfortable neighborhood vibes here. It's very much a down home Irish pub. We sat next to a warm fireplace, which was great because it was freezing out! Winters here on Planet Hoth are just brutal! Please come check out this great little neighborhood gem. And oh yeah, they have live music! Loved that!

The space the party in was a fun set up, my only complaint was they had a corner where all the unused restaurant item were stuffed, nothing you really need to see, a cluttered closet. All in all a fun night.

Been here several occasions for lunch, dinner, and private parties. The staff is very friendly. The…read morefood is consistently good and the atmosphere is comfortable. The restaurant is clean and they usually have a nice crowd. Will continue to to frequent this restaurant.

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.

We arrived and just the right time because once we were sat the wait began! I highly recommend getting there early. We came for breakfast and were sat promptly. The staff are hyper aware of their table's needs and it's so refreshing. We ordered a breakfast meal (eggs bacon and potatoes), and two brekky sandwiches. Just an FYI the sandwiches are ENORMOUS, so I recommend sharing if you're not that hungry. Coffee was great quality. The restaurant itself is tiny, but makes for an intimate experience. Don't forget to grab a delicious homemade pastry when you leave! They had fresh baked goods consistently being restocked while we were eating--the smell was to DIE for.

They have a wonderful breakfast, my favorite is the biscuits!! It's a must as well as their hot…read morechocolate! Service was wonderful and quick. Top cafe in Saratoga.
