Doubleday Cafe

Although we had lived about 20 miles from cooperstown for 9 years, we did not visit that often, and especially avoided it during high baseball season. The season hysteria was over so we went out, primarily so my wife could swim in Lake Otsego. We decided to go into town for a late breakfast. We were told the Doubleday Cafe had breakfast all day. WRONG. But we stayed for lunch. We both had a turkey BLT. (Photo of mine after I took a few bites). I liked it. My wife did not care for hers. We took the leftovers home and I finished them. Service was great. I would go back but can only speak for myself.

The place had a cool vibe and was packed for lunch even though the rest of Main Street was empty. The Reuben was really interesting, with finely shredded corn beef.

Stopped in for a bite after visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame. We were seated pretty quickly and waitress was very friendly. Food was tasty and fresh! Great spot and quick walk from the museum. Definitely recommend!

Excellent! Wonderful! Authentic pancakes. I asked that they use real butter when they pan fry them so its healthier, and they gladly obliged! Quality place and ingredients and great service. 👍

5/5 Stars – A Cozy, Honest Breakfast Spot in the Heart of Cooperstown We had a wonderful breakfast at Doubleday Café and walked away genuinely impressed with the entire experience. It’s a charming, welcoming spot right in the heart of town—clean, friendly, and refreshingly down-to-earth. It feels like one of those places that knows exactly what it is and doesn’t try too hard, which is part of the appeal. The service was warm and efficient without being overbearing. We were seated quickly, coffee came fast, and our meals were out in a reasonable time—even with a healthy morning crowd. I ordered an omelette, and it was just right: perfectly cooked, with fresh ingredients and a good balance of flavor. It’s easy for a simple breakfast dish to be forgettable, but this one hit all the right no
