I've had omelets from dozens of restaurants in the Capital District, and the Witches Village Cafe makes the best by a huge margin. First of all, they use an omelet pan (not a griddle), and the omelets end up thick and fluffy, probably twice the thickness of others.. They are always yellow, not burned brown, like some places. The vegetables are fresh and browned before added, and not frozen. The fillings are generous.The toast is always above average - I like the sour dough toast, myself. Last time we went, I ordered a single buttermilk pancake for the table to share. I'm not a big fan of restaurant pancakes, but this one was delicious. It was thick (at first I thought we got two pancakes by mistake), huge (I'm glad I only ordered one), without any funny flavors (common with some pancake mixes), and not overly sweet. They serve real maple syrup, and it's worth it. We've made pancakes from scratch at home a hundred times. These were better than homemade. Don't tell my wife.
There are times when the place gets crowded. If it's a nice day, we enjoy having the outside...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreAlways solid eats, and excellent service. One of my personal favorites. for parties of four or more I would recommend getting a reservation. Keep in mind they are only open until 1:00 p.m. so I advise getting there early. My favorite spot to sit and eat is out at the tables with the umbrella, The second choice are the tables they have outside the entrance. Every Sunday I believe there's different quiche available, any of their sandwiches are fantastic. Try their potato salad or coleslaw. I get the monument sandwich highly recommended. I do believe their pancakes are some of the best I've had in my life. Honest. You can blindly pick anything on the menu and be very satisfied. This has become a regular breakfast place for Sunday morning Harley rides. Eat here then you can head east to mass or VT, or west to Saratoga...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreEverything tasted ok. Nothing great. The home fries had no seasoning, if they did I couldn't taste any. The prices are absurd, $4.25 for 1 egg and toast? The wife and I ordered what would be considered a modest breakfast, she had a veggie omelet with home fries toast and a coffee, I had 2 eggs, a slice of ham, and rye toast with a coffee. The bill for the meal was $27.87 before tip. I could understand if it was some fancy place in NY city. But, a small mom and pop dinner in no where greenwich NY? Never again for me, maybe I'll stop in for some pie, but even then, a $20 bill for 2 pieces of pie, latte and a coffee is such a mark up, I think...
