Can’t say enough good things about our breakfast here!! I have a gluten allergy and had an amazing gluten free meal! They take special precautions and make sure they clean the surfaces and the grill before making a gluten allergy meal! My kids and husband who do not have a gluten allergy loved their meals as well! My kids said they were the best pancakes ever

Amazing breakfast with friends. Sat outside on a perfect morning. Great selection of food with fair prices. Staff were amazing and accommodating with our group of 8. Food was very fresh and tasty. Service is top notch. Be sure to buy a few of their hand made coffee mugs.

Having had a highly satisfactory lunch here, the six of us understood why Water Street Cafe was full of diners. Luckily, we spotted it on the map in Geneva. During our five-day Finger Lakes vacation, my roasted pepper chicken soup in this Cafe is the one that stands out! Their balsamic vinaigrette dressing on their green salad with chicken, avocado, cucumber and tomatoes was equally delicious. Our friends were all happy about their chosen lunch. Their staff are attentive, pleasant and accommodating of our request for three separate checks. To give you an idea how reasonable lunch is here, my bowl of creamy, tasty, tender chicken soup and my hubby’s salad described above cost us $17. Our friends’ checks were a bit more or less than ours. All of us were full.

So this is a great little hole in the wall spot. It is a little tight inside with space but overall it comfortable. The portions are large and very reasonably priced. I made the mistake of getting the half portion of the biscuits and gravy along with half a fritata and it was an immense meal. My wife went with the omelet and it didnt disappoint either. The sausage gravy was delicious and the biscuits were a nice consistency, not too dense. They were very diligent on their coffee service sport some very nice mugs for sale. All in all a very family friendly spot to grab a good breakfast in the area.

If I could give this place 6/5 stars I would! The food was tasty and the portions were large. You won't find a good breakfast priced this fairly anywhere else. Quick and easy service, no wait time on a Saturday late-morning. I'm not a Geneva local but if I was this would be my go-to breakfast place.
