“I’ll admit I haven’t been to this place in about a year due to moving out of state, but this cafe was my absolute favorite place in the Cooperstown/Hartwick area. Their service was always much quicker than other cafes in the area and the staff were always friendly. The food and drinks are reasonably priced and they have amazing coffee! Please give them a try!Vegetarian options: While there isn’t a whole lot of vegetarian options on their menu, they do a great job at accommodating vegetarians by substituting meats for extra veggies.“

“This International Night theme was Japan and the food was excellent from the bread course to the dessert. The seared tuna appetizer was delicious and we could have eaten untold amounts of that and been happy. The chicken yakitori bowl had an array of vegetables and the flavors and textures were excellent. Our server—and every server and busser —was moving nonstop the entire time yet never once left us thinking we had been forgotten. Excellent meal and service!“

“Great spot, right in the heart of Cooperstown. My wife and I have been multiple times and have always a great meal with exceptional service. (Our first daughter was born around lunch on a Tuesday, I didn't eat much that morning nor afternoon, afterwards. I ordered some dinner for pick up that night; and even though it was just a simple chicken sandwich... it was the absolute best chicken sandwich I have had in my entire life. I can't wait to go back and have another)“

“Here in January, one of the few places open and fairly crowded on a Friday night. Sign says wait to be seated. Ignored by the hostess while she picked her nails, sonI went to the bar where I was ignored by the female bartender for ten minutes until the male bartender came over and took my beer order. Maybe 12 people at the bar and gave it to me in a plastic cup. Felt like high school which was 50 years ago. When asked got beer 2 in glass after promising not to throw it at anyone. (Humor). Ordered the tuna nachos which were great and arrived quickly. So, overall a good experience. BTW, they had a guitar player which was a nice touch.“

“Having been told by others to visit this diner and get their cheeseburger we made it our first stop in Cooperstown. It is a small, very quaint diner with approximately 20 seats mixed between tables and barstools. It is certainly iconic simply due to its size. We arrived at noon and were immediately greeted by Peach. I will say Peach and the chef were the only two people taking care of a Friday lunch crowd. We placed our order awaiting the arrival of our burgers. My group was blown away when the burgers arrived. Just see the picture! I’ve never seen a burger this large let alone having to try and eat it. It was impossible to fit in my already big mouth so I chose to slowly knife/fork it on the plate. The burger was tasteful, juicy, and very flavorful. The tater tots were crisp and hot.It certainly is a burger that can easily be split between diners.Our service was impeccable, quick and delivered with humor and positive interaction from Peach. She was one of the best servers I have ever encountered. You remember the fun, experienced servers who excel at their job. Peach will always be remembered by our party of four.Certainly visit this diner while in Cooperstown but be prepared to wait for a seat during their busy times. Trust me, it will be worth the wait.“

“This is a great place for locals and tourists! Julie and Don have been in the restaurant/bar business for quite some time and they are friendly and have a fun establishment. The food is typical American bar and grill food that is predictably decent--they have something for everyone. Our party had burgers and pulled pork sandwiches. All the food was good. And the drinks even better. I had the Jack Frost and it was delicious!“

“Monday night.....most places were closed.Cooley's - nice pub atmosphere,1 chef working the kitchen and 1 server attending to everyone. She was running around quite a bit, yet she still had time to check-in with us to update on the food. Yes, the food took a little while, but understanding what was going on "back of the house" makes it a non-issue.I had the "Jersey burger"....?.Bottom line....If in the area, I definitely stop in again.PS - great chili......?“

Will definitely going back.One request: if you're ever considering expanding your offerings, I would love some more bread variety, esp. sourdough :)“

The Lake Front Hotel American • $$

“Not enough parking. Ice machine broken.Very expensive for basic accommodation but it was high season. They will wake you up at 815 with a leaf blower. In July. Not leaf season. There were no leaves to blow.It's loud. Kids clomping up the metal outside stairwell or banging on their own door with no care for others, slamming doors, etc. Lots of baseball kids in town for tournaments and it sounded like they were playing a game right next door.You do get 1 free boat ride and 1 $5 meal discount per person per night. So our family of 4 stayed 2 nights we got 8 coupons for our $650. Just one boat ride not 4 or 8 though. I go to use 5 of them, our relative joined us for dinner the first night, and the waitress takes 20 not 25 off the bill. We say what's up, and she shows me 4 coupons. I know I handed her a stack of 5 but trusted her not to screw up by accident or screw us over on purpose. Next time, show them how many you are handing them, count them in front of the server. 5 dollar lesson learned. I get back to the room and yup, there are 3 not 4 coupons left. Food was okay, you're overpaying for the location and view but this left a sour taste.325 a night with tax for a motel (I think they changed their name at some point to hotel but it is a motel) and they have to screw us over like that for 5 extra bucks?Same owners of motel and restaurant I think.I will add a star because the towels provided were some of the nicest ones I've ever had. A strange thing to ace but they did.Just admire the pictures of the lake and the orange roofs of the "hotel" and thank me if you didn't stay here.Rooms: Great towels, seemed clean, AC worked okay, small TV, fridge froze everything on a medium setting and there's no microwave. Bathroom was redone but no shelf at the pedestal sink and hair dryer very old.Walkability: Walk to the Hall of Fame“

“This is worth finding in Cooperstown, it is on a side street and not on the Main Street but only a five minute walk from the museum. Cute covered patio with excellent food. Great stop for lunch, after going to baseball hall of fame. The service was great and the food came out fast. The burgers were excellent and I highly recommend the “Big pig” burger. It is not on the menu but they have great gluten free buns also.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free buns and a selection of GF beer and ciders.“
