The Rustic Blend Cafe — Restaurant in Windber

Possibly the best thing to happen in Windber, ever. We’ve been here twice this week. First visit was a slight disappointment, simply because I’m a tea snob and their selections were more tisane than tea. When the owner asked how everything was, I explained that a good, robust black tea would make the experience top-notch. Here’s where the visit went from very good to outstanding - he admitted his knowledge of teas was limited. He opened his laptop and had me look at the teas his supplier offered. He was so focused on customer service that I selected three black teas for the cafe. This morning, all three were on offer. I selected the Irish Breakfast tea, which, with my breakfast croissant sandwich, made for an excellent breakfast. We’ve only ordered breakfast sandwiches and beverages here, but we’ll be back for the baked goods at some point - their selection of muffins, scones, biscotti, rolls, and cookies take up most of the serving counter. Finally, the place itself is cozy, with tables, counters, and soft seating, There’s also an outdoor seating area that should be nice in...

The food was delicious! Their bagels are amazing and the wrap is next level!

I highly recommend The Rustic Blend Cafe! Just remember to be patient and gracious while they find...

If, like me, you drive along Main St and miss this establishment, well,be sure to turn around! Stephanie and Emma will, like they did for me, treat you like an old friend. They'll prepare FRESHLY made FARM eggs in your Coal Miner Wrap, or some incredibly delish Bacon sticks😋 They locally source the foods, have good prices, especially for their lunch offerings and provide the community with a friendly gathering place with plenty of seating options. So, when zipping along on 56, on your way to Johnstown or Bedford, look for the Windber exit, turn off and discover...
