Not all hope is lost though, they break out the plug-in griddle on weekends. 120 volts to egg freedom- that's when they will actually fry an egg. Today they fried my nerves, and to make the sandwich even less egg-cellent they put TWO TINY LINKS for the sausage on a sausage egg and cheese. Not appetizing. The owners response- " Been doin it that way 20 years" Great customer service, Pal. That doesn't mean you've done it RIGHT for 20 years. The workers were sweethearts, I don't blame It on them whatsoever.

Good coffee, staff more concerned about ignoring the line…read more... I was a little shocked at the sign advising customers to not approach the counter until summoned. There were 5-6 people behind the counter, all loudly gossiping with each other, but only 2 seemed to be making a drink. As the line grew behind me, there was no attempt to help anyone. When it was finally my turn, the first eye contact was when the screen with tip choices was pivoted to me. Its a shame, as the brewed Columbian coffee I bought was good even though it was not fleshed brewed and sat in a pump thermos. I hope the owner understands how lucky they are that people seek out their business thats on a one way street...but if rude staff makes you feel ignored and like an outsider, Starbucks is much easier to find and be ignored at.

This was the first time visiting. A very quaint little cafe. Ordered the Gus breakfast sandwich…read more Perfectly cooked and the flavors complemented one another so well! Ordered a simple coffee. Did not get a refill, not sure if they're offered. The place is small and I would say that was the only thing that made it a bit wonky to walk around. One customer gave me a glaring side eye when I walked past her table twice- I know! How dare I do that!? You order at the counter and a number tower card is given to place on your table. Food was brought out quickly. I would go back to try something else.

Stopped here for lunch after seeing the reviews on Yelp for delicious and local flavors. It was…read morevery cute and cozy inside with people hanging out and enjoying lunch. When I read over the reviews, everyone raved about their baked goods - so of course I ordered the bread pudding in addition to a rosemary chickpea salad with grilled chicken. The salad was like a take on Thanksgiving stuffing with chickpeas. It was good a little thick but has good flavor. The grilled chicken did not have any flavor to it but once mixed into the salad it was good. The stand out for me was definitely the bread pudding. It had layers of fresh apples in between and was very moist. I really enjoyed this and even cold it was still very delicious. They mentioned to me that the apples were from a local farm, which I loved. Definitely recommend checking out the baked goods for sure.

I will admit that it wasn't our first choice this particular day. We had wanted to try another coffee shop down the street but it was closed on Black Friday, so thanks Common Ground for saving the day! My Aunt and I both ordered a soy Mocha and chose one of the high top tables in front near the door to enjoy our drinks and chat. It was a perfect spot, very conveniently located on the main st in Caz, plenty of parking in the lot, or on the street. The mocha was delish, and I'd love to go back and try other drinks, as well as some of the breakfast/pastry type items they had to offer.

Was hoping to grab a dessert and scope it out for Easter Desserts. I had been by before but missed them as they were closed. I was disappointed in the dessert selection but they seemed to be doing alot of breakfast sandwiches and coffee which looked delicious though I had already had breakfast. I did order a brownie to go which was good but was nothing special. Pricing for what you get is a bit steep as my brownie was almost six dollars. They also had a selection of candy and handcrafted items which added to the charm. I will probably give them sometime to settle in before going back. Parking can be tricky here but they do have street parking available

Mary's is about 5 minutes outside of downtown Sylvan Beach, so easy to get to for locals or vacationers to Oneida Lake. We were seated quickly when we arrived around 8:30 on a Saturday, and were glad to get there when we did as it filled up quickly just after we got our table. Patrons have the choice of booths, tables, or up at the counter - just how a diner should be. My wife ordered the pancakes and sausage while I opted for the 3 egg breakfast (sunny side up, always) with some bacon and rye toast. My wife raved about her pancakes and was able to get sugar-free syrup with her meal. Portions were generous and food came out quickly. Our waitress was friendly and kept drink refills of water, juice, and coffee rolling. Prices are reasonable and the menu was quite large. Lunch is also available and we'd love to come out and try that sometime. Mary's succeeds in what makes a good diner worth driving to. My only drawback would be the wait to get a table on the weekend if you arrive at the wrong time. It was standing room only when we left.
