Excellent simple cozy local cafe. I especially like fish and chips for lunch on their Friday menu.

Stopped in the village mid-ride today while cruising the rail trail—had a craving for coffee but found Erin’s Café Diner instead. Mr. Baker cooked up a hamburger and a side of perfectly crispy fries that absolutely hit the spot halfway through my 50-mile ride. Friendly service, great local feel, and exactly the kind of small business worth supporting when you’re pedaling through Mendon, New York. Highly recommend! 🚴♂️☕🍔

Finally got there for lunch! We were welcomed so warmly by Richard, and the other patrons, that I felt like I was with our friends and home. It is so comfortable and inviting. We both decided to get the half order of fish fry for lunch and it was out of this world delicious. We will definitely be back to try the other things on the menu. Just wanted to do the fish fry because that’s only available on Fridays. So lucky to have this place so close. We will be back soon.

It's a cozy, friendly atmosphere. The decor made me feel like I was at my Nana's house for Sunday family brunch. Upon walking in I was greeted by the chef who I assume is also the owner. He has a welcoming charm and is very attentive. Upon reviewing the menu, I found it simply wonderful. I didn't know what item I wanted they all sounded great. I decided to throw it all on black with the special menu option chefs choice. And I have to say it was the best decision I made. While sitting at the table I watched the chefs gear turn as a welcome challenge was presented to him. He presented me with a dish I was left speechless with. Upon setting it in front of me he told me I just made cafe Erin history as the fourth person to ever of had this dish. Eating with my eyes first I was met with awe, a lovely golden fried goat cheese log, on a creamy green sauce. Paired with a grilled summer squash and zucchini on a buttery sauce with two of the fluffiest poached eggs I've ever had. The yolk was salty and creamy pairing well with the veggies and butter sauce while the savory explosion from the goat cheese log complimented every other bite. Can't recommend this hidden gem enough.

Another visit to Caifé Erin and we had a very enjoyable breakfast. Our first visit was some coffee, and a breakfast sandwich. This visit we had the vegetable omelet which was a perfect way to start our day. Richard is a wonderful host/chef, and we had such a nice easy interaction with the other guests.

Doesn’t follow posted hours. How are you supposed to know when they’re actually open?

This is Bob my World War II Navy veteran best friend .We down to visit Café Erin . Richard made us the best burger. Bob said it was the best he ever had. While we were there, a woman came in for a cup of coffee was introduced to Bob and came back in five minutes later with this nice bouquet of flowers to thank Bob for his service. She owns a lovely floral shop right across the way from Café Erin. Such a nice little café, hidden away in the town of Menden. Great food, highly recommended.

Family-owned and run, fantastic Irish food, excellent customer service, and very reasonably priced. We look forward to coming back and highly recommend this top notch gem that even partners with local purveyors!

This is a great Irish restaurant! The service is great and the owner is very friendly. The food is awesome and it's nice to have some authentic Irish food available. The live Irish music they have occasionally also adds to the atmosphere. Very highly recommended!
Absolutely loved the Irish vibe here! The owner, Richard, shared stories of his Irish roots while preparing our breakfast! We were here visiting for a basketball tournament and were so happy we found this quaint, vibrant place! My wife is gluten free and Richard was very knowledgeable and had wonderful options for her. Can't wait to visit here again! Definitely want to try their fish fry next visit!!
