Mountainside Cafe,

251 U.S. 7, Canaan, CT 06031

"I stop at Mountainside Cafe a couple of times every year.  Always get great service and food!  Today I had the Country burger... It was  excellent!  They have a limited menu, so check their website for the current menu."

"Quaint breakfast/lunch spot with delicious coffees, omelets and sandwiches. They had a large selection of unique dishes from pork belly grilled cheeses, wraps, pancakes, burgers and more. Service was quick and very friendly. Ample parking as well. Highly recommend."

"Like many places we enjoy having good food and drinks, as we get older these feel more enjoyable. Mountainside Cafe is certainly a place noteworthy of stopping in. Nestled in the upper corner of Eastern Connecticut, this little place has been a stop for the last 6 years. We enjoy car racing at nearby Lime Rock Park. Here you can enjoy great food, with portions that are decent, so bring your appetite. Yes, their coffee is really good. If you’re like me, a great cup of coffee goes a long way to starting your morning, freshly ground onsite for the perfect proportion and taste, they have it dialed in. They also have a bunch of pastry/ bakery options for people not wishing to have a hot breakfast. What made it even more special, was running into a very good friend from when we were teenagers. What else can one ask for, the making of new memories with a friend. Mountainside is 100% worth the stop, great food, coffee atmosphere, you name it. I wish it were closure, but that makes it more the reason for us to stop in for a great way to start our morning. Nice seeing you Jenn."

"Another breakfast spot that I visited with my Wife on weekend. It had nice parking lot on the side. Place is not huge but its just big enough. We both ordered omelets. My Wife had one from the menu and I had two custom one with meat. We also had sausge on side. Everything came DELICIOUS. Omelets were huge, filled with meat and seasoned just perfect. Same with sausge, was really good. Coffee also was great. Pretty much everything was great including staff, that was nice, smiling and caring. WE DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE."

"We drove from Hartford to this place to try their brunch and coffee. However, due to their’s chef's unavailability kitchen was closed. We tried their coffee and it was great. Also liked their bakery stuff like bagels and muffins. The atmosphere and ambiance are beautiful and the staff is also sweet and courteous. I’ll visit again to try their breakfast/brunch menu. FYI - They have good parking spaces and also have outdoor seating arrangements."
