Just finished rafting and Jake, our guide recommended Water Street Cafe. What a gem! The pepperoni rolls are ridiculously delicious, we had to go back and order more and they are worth any wait you may be told. Sooooo good. The nachos are stellar, the pulled pork is fantastic. The cupcakes are such a sweet treat. The staff/owners are beyond kind and helpful. This place is such a sweet retreat, such a hidden gem and our group highly recommends making this stop! read more

Water Street Cafe - a woman holding a half eaten pizza - Cafes Near Me - Friendsville, Maryland

Searched for a home cooked meal. Disappointed because they were not open even though hours posted and no answer on the phone

Stopped here on a road trip across the country and it may be one of my favorite pit stops. Chris and his dog Fluffy were so welcoming and fun to talk to. Their coffee was certified B fair trade so worth the stop even if just for the caffeine. Their veggie burritos were fabulous and their ingredientes and farm fresh and the salsa... oh the salsa!! Just all around a wonderful highlight of Maryland! read more

Hours are not consistent, went there twice during Spring Break week- closed both times. Never answers phone. Known for breakfast burritos but yet not open for breakfast. read more

Fantastic food and great prices!! If you're anywhere near Friendsville, say traveling on your way to Deep Creek, you MUST stop here. The owner, Chris, is very friendly, a great cook and a wealth of local knowledge. We found the cafe on Yelp and called to find out what time they served breakfast until. The owner responded, "I think I've got some eggs, come on over." While I know that's not the standard answer you would expect, I appreciated the authenticity. The breakfast burrito was PHENOMENAL and we ended up staying 3 or 4 hours chit-chatting with Chris and other locals. We had planned for a quick breakfast, but ended up getting soup, lunch and dessert as well. Everything here will be delicious - the pepperoni rolls are a crowd favorite. If you're looking for a place to unwind, the coffee is fresh and there are giant windows that look out at the river. read more

Water Street Cafe - Breakfast burritos with coffee and pepperoni rolls. Can't go wrong! - Cafes Near Me - Friendsville, Maryland

We were in town to ski at Wisp and had to try this place. They're normally not open on Mondays, but we lucked out because of the holiday and boy were we glad that they did. The breakfast burrito was AMAZING. I've never had one so tasty and having the tortilla toasted is what won it over for me. It all was very fresh. Chris was so friendly, as well as his pup. The decor was nice and eclectic without being gaudy. We're going to be making this one of our regular stops from now on anytime we head this way. Thanks!!! read more

So so sad And I know I would've loved this place, but they need to definitely change their Hours. I was driving to DC, on a road trip and was so excited I wanted to post about it on my blog, about this cute little place in Friendsville Maryland that I found! It said it was open so I stopped by, no one was there, I tried to call a couple times and was hung up on. :) it's ok. Just need to change times so people don't get their hopes up Xoxo read more

Chris, the owner, is a one man show serving very tasty food such as chili, beef stroganoff, breakfasts, and pizza. The beef was top notch and my buddy rated it one of the better stroganoff dishes he's had. The building is nostalgic and is next to a river. In summer they must be busy feeding trout fisherman. read more

3 Lil Pigs breakfast burrito: game changer. No burrito compares, and I'm forever ruined.

It's been nearly 3 weeks since my first visit to WSC... but I'm STILL craving a breakfast burrito from this place! I found it on yelp and saw that the reviews were exceptional so I was excited to try it out and see if it was worth the fuss. Indoors, it was empty save for Chris (the owner), who greeted my fiancé and I. He informed us that his shipment from Boar's Head didn't make it in so he didn't have any meats, which was fine by me because I'm a vegetarian. I had a veggie breakfast burrito sans peppers and he whipped us up some iced coffees. It was simple, delicious, and inexpensive. That was my first-ever breakfast burrito and it was nothing short of amazing. Chris was super nice and so was the pup they've got hanging out at the place. Can't wait to go back. Ah, if only I lived closer. read more

Great coffee and conversation! Love the view of the river. Super accomodating for food allergies. read more

Time is relative here. Don't be put off by the closed sign in the window, or the fact that the clock inside runs perfectly but approximately a half an hour ahead of reality. Coffee is excellent and the food is awesome. Make sure to check out the bathroom and the wonderful artwork. read more

My new favorite place to eat. The food was delicious the atmosphere warm & inviting. I will definitely be returning. read more

Water Street Cafe - Cookies! - Cafes Near Me - Friendsville, Maryland

An awesome stop while on a motorcycle ride! Had a breakfast burrito, chocolate chip muffin and a coffee. Incredible slice of Americana! Friendly people, informal and good food... What else do you need? read more

We traveled from the lake to try WSC out based on Yelp reviews. This is a very cool place along the Youghiogheny River. Its in an old building with old furnishings. The owner is very friendly and we were also greeted by a very laid back friendly dog. The ambience is great. The food is average. Sorry to disappoint but we went here based on other Yelp reviews so I felt obligated to post our experience. I would assume the eggs for the burritos were made earlier because when the burrito was given to us pretty much right from the oven, the wrap was very hot but once we took a bite, the eggs were cold-like refrigerator cold. The menu is also just burritos so I wouldn't recommend bringing young kids or picky eaters. read more

I had a great breakfast here. The food was great. The owner, Chris, was very welcoming and helpful too. The view of the river and the slow pace is beautiful. Chris actually called the owner, Roger, of the local white water rafting company, Precision Rafting, and I went on a spectacular 4 hour rafting trip... right then right there! A great day. Thanks to all involved with that. read more

Pepperoni rolls! Pepperoni rolls! The owner and chef, Chris, is a cool dude. Great place too hang out, especially after a day on the river.

This is such a great place! Be patient it's a small cafe but I promise it's worth the wait! Everything is made fresh to order and the view is beautiful! We had the breakfast burrito, pepperoni roll, spinach and feta roll and the grilled cheese. First time in a long time that I have had a breakfast burrito where the insides were all cooked perfect and not one part of it was soggy and it was perfectly toasted. The three little pigs is the burrito we tried, so yum! read more

I wandered into WSC looking to relax and get a little work done while my son and friend rafted. What a great decision! The coffee was great, the hot Italian wrap was so good I brought the rest of my gang back the next day to try it and Chris felt like an old friend after just one visit. Can't wait to get back to Friendsville. read more

Great place for a relaxing breakfast, lunch or snack. Since we live in the area, we are able to stop in as we desire and Chris is always friendly and upbeat. We have tried various items and all have been delicious. Try a smoothie for something cold and refreshing. read more

Driving back from Ohio to Virginia for training with a co worker we found this on yelp. First impression I thought we'd be treated like outsiders. I'm happy to say that didn't happen at all. Owner was extremely friendly as well as everyone there. Small town atmosphere was great. Store next door sold beer and it was actually really cheap. Deff the place to go. read more

Gem of a place! My wife and I and our 3 kids came here based on the Yelp reviews. I totally agree with the reviews. We were made to feel like instant friends by the owner Chris. Food was fabulous and the atmosphere was perfect. We regularly come to Deep Creek Lake and will definitely go back to Friendsville and the WSC when we are here. read more

Stop by on the way back to Arlington from a nice long weekend in the mountains. This place is a hidden gem in Friendsville, MD. Best breakfast burrito hands down. Ambience is down-to-earth, warm and welcoming. Owners were super awesome, very personable, and the love shows in the taste of food. Will recommend a thousand times. Also, coffee was phenomenal! read more

Chris is always awesome along with his breakfast burritos! Great food, atmosphere and doggie friendly.

Awesome spot! Its like 100feet off of 68 so its easy to get too from the road and its sooo easy to get back on the highway too. Great food, its on the river, the owner is awesome and so is fluffy (his dog). There is also a hotel within walking distance! read more

My sis and I found Water Street Cafe using Yelp and we loved it. Small and cozy with a fabulous veggie wrap with fresh veggies, hummus and feta cheese. And the pepperoni rolls lived up to the amazing reviews. Chris and everyone else, employees and patrons, were friendly and very welcoming.

Water Street cafe is a Friendsville institution worth taking a detour off the highway. Chris's pepperoni rolls are the best around!

Awesome little place, great food, surprisingly low prices. The staff is very friendly, and it's a great place to meet the locals and ask about what happens around the town--although that isn't much. Breakfast here is a great way to start your day. read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast but ended up staying for a while due to a good chat with the owner, game of Trivial Pursuit, good coffee and slowly eating an excellent breakfast burrito. This is a great place to break bread with family or friends. read more
