This past September my fiancé and I decided to finally head over to this cute quaint cafe around the corner from our new home. We hear the live music often, and see people having a great time and decided to give it a go for my 35th birthday. Food was great, band was playing decent music, it did not disappoint. The only issue was our server wasn’t as attentive as they could have been. Not sure if they thought we weren’t going to spend much or tip well or what. We would have stayed longer had the service been a little better. Overall nice atmosphere, seasonal fresh menu, live music. It was a nice birthday dinner. Only giving 4 stars as I felt we wouldn’t have had to flag down their not busy server for a drink or anything else we needed. This is also why we haven’t back as it made us feel very out of place. I hope to check out their current menu soon though and reporting back. I work in the service industry and not every day am I 100%. So I’ll give it another go. ?
We had been meaning to stop in here for a while and we finally got the chance to. The atmosphere is really cozy. We ate upstairs. The service was slow the night we were there but they were undermanned so I am sure it's faster most other nights. The food was decent. I really enjoyed The Rachel Sandwich. It's a nice little neighborhood place.

Food was very good. It took a very long time for the food to come out. Including apps. Service was good just slow. We were seated in the room next to the guitar player so once he started playing it was hard to hold a conversation. Place is awfully small for loud entertainment. We will give it another shot cuz the food was very good and the staff was so Nice.

Great place. Local musicians play acoustical tunes. Food is consistently very good. Service is personable. New owners just took over. They seem charged up and ready to go. They will extend the current hours and make menu changes. Can't wait to see what they do.

The menu here had options for us, great waitstaff, a friendly, eclectic vibe, and good iced tea as well. I would definitely recommend this cute little joint!
Loved our server. She was the best! Music during Sunday Brunch was a nice touch. The food took an hour for two of us, we ordered simple dishes for just the two of, a fish sandwich and a panini. They sat a 4 top 15 minutes after we ordered, and their food came out 5 minutes after ours. This is a small place, not many tables. The kitchen really needs some work, waiting 1 hour for 2 sandwiches and soup that is premade is ridiculous.

They always have a terrific black bean soup so I will usually get that versus a soup of the day. However, on this night, they had a chicken and dumpling soup that was offered with the grilled cheese of the day. It was delicious. Even told the waiter and manager that they should have it featured more often. The grilled cheese is always a novel and tasty treat

Great food, amazing staff and service! And the ambience with the different bands, they have is just the best! Don't forget to ask about their special grilled cheese of the day! The soup is always rich and thick! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
Loved the eclectic vibe! Food and ambience were terrific. Having the live music with brunch made it extra special. Be sure to make a reservation because they don't take walk ins.

My dinner was fine - my guests disappointed in food and limited menu. Cokes were bad something wrong with machine. Chick parm sauce very sweet should have sent back. Rib sand much to much cheese ruined the taste. Ran out of potato & ham soup & bean soup had no beans. All of these things in one night was just too much for everyone. I will return but not with any of these people

Great food and atmosphere. Menu is limited fit always fresh, healthy and tasty! Dog friendly outside only but they even cook burger bowls for my pup!

My wife and I visited the Bellefonte Cafe on Friday, December15th, 2023. Our dinners were absolutely delicious, especially with the homemade chicken noodle soup and a desert of gluten free chocolate cake with whipped cream which was to die for, all provided by a very attentive waiter. Entertainment was provided by the excellent music and vocalist of Diamond Swing Jazz which made for a very enjoyable evening, an evening which we will enjoy again and again with future visits.

Food was great. They offer basic fare but with a twist. My favorite is their grilled cheese sandwiches. The black bean soup is marvelous. Our waitress was perfect. Never dry without a drink. Never pestering us. They had a band as they often do. Music was good.
