On the Way Cafe — Restaurant in City of Rye

My best friend and I have been going to this place for the past three years. The restaurant is in a house a few blocks away from Rye Playland beach. It is next door to a gas station but don’t worry you won’t smell gasoline. They have a cute set up outside where you can sit and eat your meal on a nice sunny day. We went today and was very disappointed with how we were treated. The waiter came to our table with an unpleasant attitude and asked where we came from because all of a sudden it got crowded (there was a group of Latina women waiting to be served) and he knows we’re upset because it took awhile for him to come to our table and he knows he’s not going to get a tip. We told him we’re from around the corner and assured him that we were not upset with him and placed our order. This experience made us feel uncomfortable because he obviously did not want to serve our table with the assumption that all brown people don’t tip. So we decided not to return...

We recently went to a show at the Capitol theater and stayed nearby. I found this place by looking for well reviewed breakfast places. It sounded good so we made the short drive from Port Chester. It is very small and quaint, and the woman that seems to run the place was super nice. I think if I had been interested in pancakes I might have a better review. It seems that that is their specialty. I opted for an omelette with a side of bacon. The omelette was nothing special, no where near enough cheese, and although there was no meat in the omelette, it had a very meaty flavor, like it was cooked in bacon grease perhaps. The bacon, which was an extra $4, was very thin and nothing special at all. And I asked for my home fries well done, and they were not even close. So although many things looked fantastic and I really wanted to love this place, I left pretty disappointed. If I ever come down there for another show I'll give them...

This cozy cafe has a small parking lot with 1 hour parking, so there is decent turnover. The atmosphere was very relaxing, as christmas jazz played a lone man sat, served, and cleared tables. Running food from behind the bar to each table in an orderly fashion. If you're in a rush, this isn't the spot, but it was rather nice not having a busy scene of servers and bussers cluttering the small space.

The food was excellent. Smaller delicious portions with great flavor and wholeness. We ordered eggs, bacon & toast, and a tomatoe mushroom swiss omelet with raspberry crum cake and ice coffee. The crumbcake was warm and buttery with hints of cinnamon. The ice coffee was smooth and had ice coffee ice cubes so as not to dilute very nice touch

All in all, good experience. If you're on the patient side and have the time, it's a good stop 𝘖𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘢𝘺 to wherever...
