I wish we had tried this cafe sooner. The food is good with generous portions. We usually get one of the special which are a great deal. The seating in the enclosed porch is bright and airy with lots of hanging plants. The service has always been great. I've been telling everyone to go check it out. I can't recommend the Dutch-way cafe enough.

An open, airy, cafe attached to the grocery store. Even with not getting the breakfast sandwich I ordered (and not realizing till I was gone, had to hustle to our field hockey game) I thoroughly enjoyed this stop. The sausage egg and cheese I received was huge and filling! The chocolate peanut butter whoopie pie was also great (I meant to just eat half and share the rest…oops….) solid cold brew as well! Would visit again for sure!

Loved the food, the covered outdoor seating is beautiful and pleasant, and the coffee was A+
Not the cheapest, but reasonably priced... and they do have cheap options if you're stingy

Often go to Dutch Way for lunch all the food is great but the fact that they no longer serve breakfast paninis all day is pretty disappointing :(

This cafe is not the afterthought of a grocery store. It’s actually fantastic.

I liked this cafe when it came to the food! It was delicious! The burger I got (early riser burger I believe) was amazing! And the portions were huge! I got enough fries to constitute at least 2 portions of fries from most other burger places. My only critique of this restaurant is the speed of service and the acoustics in the side room. I felt that the wait was pretty long (I’d estimate 20 minutes) and the side room has no wall panels or carpeting or anything to absorb the sound. And there isn’t any music to make the atmosphere feel a little less….awkward. I love the potential for the side room but think there is room for improvement. Price for the burger either way the fries was $13.99.

This feels like a hidden gem that more people should know about! This cafe is right beside the Dutchway grocery store but sectioned off. There's also a beautiful cozy side seating area with a fireplace, lots of tables, chairs and plants. My only complaint was that the fireplace was rather startling every time it started up but I realize with more guests you wouldn't have heard it. The warmth was worth it. The food was delicious and generously portioned. I recommend that you go and check this place out. It was very empty on a Thursday evening.

My go to place for quick, homemade, great take out food. Meatloaf, hamballs, mashed potatoes, gravy, fried chicken and chicken tenders are all consistently VERY good. Panini's are also excellent.

I enjoyed my couple of times dining at this cafe. They're a cafe / mini-restaurant that serves three meals a day, pretzels, hot drinks, and ice cream. The PA-Dutch-style food was tasty with good prices, the atmosphere is clean and family-friendly, and the staff were helpful. The one thing I'd change... the bathrooms are located at the back of the grocery store. It would be great to see this little place come to life with more people (there's A LOT of seating) and events in the enclosed outdoor area - like music-cafe nights.
