DELICIOUS FOOD and DELICIOUS DESSERT! The food is a little pricey but you get what you pay for. The fresh lemon water on tap is an added bonus!

My husband and I stopped here on our way home from a short getaway to Seneca Lake. We read reviews and looked forward to trying the charming Berta's! The cafe seemed cute enough at first glance, and a nice woman opened the door for us.

Almost $35 for two breakfasts and coffee.

Hands down our favorite place to get breakfast!! You can't go wrong with anything there! The sandwiches, fresh squeezed OJ, the omelettes, the incredible waitstaff, the beautiful tables next to the windows, and the flowers on every table make this place a gem worth the drive to visit! They reopen in April or May for the season and we will be there!
