Route 20 Cafe and Deli

Updated review post covid. The folks at the Route 20 Cafe stayed open all through out the crisis and have come out better for it. Still have the best breakfast sandwiches and full breakfast hot off the grill, bar none (no microwaved egg or Denny’s chain breakfast here). Great lunch specials and grab and go or eat it there entrees for lunch and dinner. Always have traditional favorites like goulash and meatloaf and they come up with different meals all the time. If you don’t see something on the menu ask, nine times out of ten they can make it on the spot. It’s about buying local too, this is a mom and pop shop that uses local sources as well and supports people here, no corporate chain nonsense. If you support local buying and fresh, made to order food, then this is the place for you.

This little gem… if you are a NYC transplant like myself, let me say this: it is the closest thing to an bacon, egg and cheese from a NYC deli/cart that you can get in the capital region. The staff are friendly, food is fast and there are so many choices, including pancakes and hash browns. This is one of our favorite places to have breakfast and it does not disappoint.
