Such a gem of a place. I love that they use organic foods. Be sure to have order a crumb cake
The food served here is excellent. The banana walnut pancakes are the best pancakes Ive had in a long time. The egg special was very good but the portion was too small. I was still hungry after finishing my dish.
Wonderful Sunday brunch spot. I had the French Toast with fresh whipped cream. The Waite staff was friendly (family business...son was the chef). The walls were decorated with lovely artwork by local artist Elizabeth Derderian which was for sale. I would go back!
Such a lovely place and experience! I had breakfast there and enjoy their food and got one of their homemade pastries home. So delish!I sat at the bar and got to talk to one of the owners, she was very attentive and passionate about her job yet nice to talk to about life in general. We need to support more of this small independent business. Big chains have enough money. Lets shop our values 2020.
The food is fresh, all made in house, and the owners are kind and welcoming. highly recommend the pancakes!pictured: purgatory
Great little gem! The hosts are amazing and friendly. They did everything they could to make sure we were satisfied! This was our first visit and we will definitely be back for another...and bring some friends with us.
First Impressions of the place when you walk in is gorgeous, Decorated with class, Very Clean, Grace was AMAZINGShe took time to explain the menu, friendly and welcoming George was great too, service awesome, and the food was phenomenal. I got a Swiss cheese burger med rare, cooked to perfection ate the whole thing. Hubby got pastrami on rye. He was very pleased. I totally recommend On The way Café. We will be back.
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 Ill give them another try though.
Small little Cafe with indoor and outdoor covered seating. Nice folks running the place and good food. They might be out of a few items if you get there late in lunch time.
One of the best experiences in the area. Foods amazing and the prices are hard to believe. The owner catered to every need and was kinder than anyone could ask. New favorite spot. Absolutely must stop
Great local spot! There are not a lot of classic breakfast spots in Rye so On The Way Cafe is a especially standout. Everything on the menu is good and the staff is super friendly. Great place for a catch up with family or friends. Loses a star not for food but for limited opening hours, funky location and a bit pricey- but hey for Rye standards it’s still good value and a just a great place.
One of the best breakfast in the area. Love the scones and pancakes. Family oriented. They are not flexible with the hours, they won’t let you order breakfast late in the morning, you’ll need to order from the lunch menu from the exact moment they serve lunch (or even before). The restroom needs renovation urgently.
Best coffee in town! Scrambled eggs were delicious too.
Exquisite burger-- the best Ive ever had in my life. The owners are lovely, kind, and very hospitable.
Superb, very friendly and rapid service. Theyve transitioned over to cash and venmo only. Food was out VERY quickly, host/hostess water/waitress were very attentive. Crab and goat cheese omelette special was phenomenal.
We came here for breakfast, they have a wide variety, we went with the eggs + meat + vegetables combo and it was perfect. Filter coffee is great, the service is excellent, if not a bit long, reservations are highly recommended. One last thing, its cash only, there is a ATM here but youll probably pay charges.
Such a great spot for breakfast and lunch! The food is fresh, delicious, and the service is excellent. Very welcoming and cute location.
It has the look and feel of someones house, quaint and cozy. The pancakes and eggs are delicious! They stop serving breakfasts around 11a on the weekdays but lunch is equally as good. Their wraps are made with pizza dough which is out of this world!
Very distinctive restaurant with good food and service.
The staff here are so kind! I asked for a recommendation, and they told me to go with a burger (I got the buffalo one). They were definitely right! It was super juicy and flavorful. It was probably one of the best that Ive had in a while. Great cappuccino as well!
Food was not worth the price and wip cream was not good and their pancakes were 100% dry on top of that it was 11 dollar for pancakes I’ll just make them myself and they would still be better, Why waste 11 dollars when you can make them yourself for 2 bucks and milk so sour. Plus there bagel tastes like rotten. Come to Connecticut we will show you good food is .
I love this cafe!! Its such a welcoming place. The staff are very attentive and the food is delicious! Cant wait to go back.
Great latte and omlette. Fruit cup was average. Folks are nice and go around chatting with the regulars. My usual stop in the area was closed for some reason but I was happy to find another great option. Cash only is great in all but can be tough for expense reports
I stopped by for breakfast the other day while I was Geocaching and was very surprised. From the outside I expected an average place. Once inside I felt like I was in a 5 star hotel. The waiter was super polite. The atmosphere and food was awesome. Im glad we stopped here.
A wonderful place for breakfast or lunch.Situated next to a gas station, deli and small what used to be small summer cottages.If is a good alternative to the food served at Playland, just down the road.Good food at fair prices. Counter and table seating.
One of the best breakfast places Ive ever been to! I would be willing to drive the 1 1/2 hours to come back here! The only thing I would change is the parking. Aside from that, PERFECT
The food and service is excellent. They have a kids menu. Theres only one tiny bathroom which can be inconvenient. There is a parking lot but it can be challenging to get a spot. They only take cash but theres an ATM in the restaurant.
What a gemI am so glad my friend brought me to this cozy place. Food was great service was even better an the owners are a dying breed, personable, smiles, and very welcoming. I will be returning. Caint wait to try the entire menu
Excellent food & customer service. Owner/manager interaction makes everyone feel welcomed.Delayed seating but unhurried atmosphere.We will definitely return.
Found this place courtesy Google. Wonderful food. I do not like home fries, but here, I had to compliment the chef on his home fries. Pancakes are amazing! Will definately come back.
The owners were very passionate about the food and it showed. Every thing was delicious. We had a pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend it to others.
Best grilled chicken wrap ever! Very cute restaurant. Local staple, highly recommend.
Great menu, good portions, crumb cake was amazing.
Fantastic service, absolutely delicious food.. and a classy cafe styled atmosphere... Loved our meals very very much
What a thoughtful bunch of people. If you’ve ever wondered how wired you’d be after 6 cups of coffee in under an hour, stop by. Oh, and the food is great - especially if you’re in egg-white mode.
Best banana walnut pancakes in my life thank u.Honestly.... fluffy, flavorful and a great treat.wonderful service!
Great little breakfast and lunch secret tucked in next to Rye Playland. Handcrafted sandwiches are delicious.
Classy place. Good coffee. Excellent food and an imaginative menu. Pretty much the definition of a local gem.
Ordered bacon and a bagel for 10$, got a freezer bagel and 2 pieces of bacon. Not great place
A lovely restaurant run by the wonderful George and Grace. Im completely addicted to the lump crabmeat salad.
Yummy food. Super friendly wait staff. Small portions, very pricey. Definitely worthy of a second visit.
Great burger and fries
Its a cozy little place that I recommend going to for breakfast and brunch. The staff is friendly and the food was great.
Stylish eggs.Only take cash, which is better than only taking credit card.
Scrumptious food, bistro atmosphere, friendly service, can be busy and parking lot is limited. (Perhaps more parking on the other side of the building?)
They serve big portions and for fair prices. very nice staff. Highly recommended.
Great breakfast spot with homebaked goods and excellent service.
Food is fresh and really good. Little bit on the pricey side but worth the wait and price.
On the Way Cafe, is a good place for pastries. Plus the environment is pretty relaxing. highly recommend .
Staff was great, food was great. Quant little place with good ambiance. Would recommend.
Great breakfast. Scones are amazing. A definate stop when in th he area.
Great breakfast, super friendly owners and staff
Very quaint place, loved the breakfast! Its very home style.
Over paid. Website gave one price and was charged more. And on top of that when I showed what the website showed. The price wasnt adjusted. And got very little for what I was overed charged. Will not go back.
One of my favorite places to stop by and get some good breakfast food. If in the area, definitely stop here.
The place is pricey but the pancakes are amazing. Will definitely be back

2022-05-18Nice cozy place however not very flexible with their menu times. got there at 11:30 and asked for eggs but was told we stop serving bfast at 11:15 and there was only a deuce in the dining room. Coffee was very good and food is good no complaints. Saw a pastrami sandwich go by looked really good and my grilled cheese was very soft and buttery i would recommend this place just be there on time if your looking for bfast

2019-08-26On The Way is amazing... We even go there when it isnt on the way for us.The owners are such nice people and care for their customers and staff... Which really shows in the food. Omelettes, pancakes are great... Burgers are the best.Ask what pastries they have - theyre also pretty awesome.

Review №7
2018-07-17My new favorite cafe. So much heart is put into every dish. I really commend the chef here. They have some the best pancakes I’ve ever had. Everything is cooked perfectly. And, everyone that works here is tremendously kind and helpful. After Cafe Mozart closed in Mamaroneck, I thought I’d never find a place with the same charm. I was wrong. This is the best cafe in Westchester. FYI, it’s a cash only business. However there is an ATM inside.
