Excellent repas et super service

We were told the patio was closed because of risk on rain and dog only allow on patio. They offered us take out and then told us we weren’t allow to eat take out on the patio because it was closed because of risk of rain…. That was very disappointing service. Where is the logic of selling take out to customer and not allow them to use picnic table outside of the restaurant because the patio is closed because of risk of rain….

Comme nous voyageons avec un chien nous avons demander si on pouvait aller sur la terrasse. On nous as dit que les chiens étaient admis sur la terrasse mais que la terrasse etait fermer à cause des risques de pluies. On nous as donc offer du take out mais ensuite on nous as dit qu’on ne pouvait pas manger le take out sur la terrasse car elle était fermer pour risque de pluie…. Pourquoi ne pas permettre a vos clients takes out d’utiliser les tables à pic nique?

Belle petite terasse sur la rue pricipale de ce beau petit village. Personnel vraiment gentil et acceuillant, bonne bouffe ( excellent dejeuner, les pankakes en valent la peine.) , permis d alcool. Si jamais nous retournons dans cette ville c est garantie que nous retournerons y manger. *( les desserts aussi sont vraiment bon.).

Premier resto où on m'offre des oeufs bénédictines fermes! Donc première expérience pour moi qui ne mange pas de mou! Bon service et bons produits, je recommande à preuve, j'y suis moi-même retournée!

Great dining experience here. Fast and friendly service in a homey environment. The pancakes were a great size and not too dense. Hearty portions and inexpensive. The hollandaise sauce was spot on. Will return if I ever find myself in Cobourg.

Over this past Thanksgiving long-weekend, on our way from the Toronto area to Montreal we decided to stop in Cobourg for a late lunch. Last time we were in Cobourg, we were looking for a breakfast restaurant and noticed a lineup for this place so we decided, “lets see if we can go there” this time.

We did and it didn't disappoint. Fabulous breakfast, very nice staff and cozy interior.

Coincidentally, they were offering a Thanksgiving dinner for the upcoming Monday so we booked a reservation. Good thing too as the traffic in the 401 drive back was horrendous stopping for dinner was greatly anticipated.

I once again, it was fabulous. It included an appetizer option, we had the soup, main course, turkey dinner with all the fixings including a homemade warm bread roll and dessert, we both had homemade tiramisu.

My only concern was not falling into a “food comma” on the way home afterwards… were we both stuffed!

Sadly, I didn't think to take a picture from our breakfast (there are plenty of those on the web anyway) from the previous visit but did remember to take one at dinner on Monday just after having the soup appetizer. (probably a more rare(r) photo anyway) 🙂

Buttermilk Cafe will definitely be in our “where to eat” list when driving between the Toronto/Quebec corridor going forward.

Was at the Buttermilk Cafe for breakfast a few days ago.
The restaurant may be showing its age in terms of decor, furniture and atmosphere, but that does not stop people from lining up for their delicious food.
We had blueberry pancakes and a smoked meat hash topped with a fried egg, both of which were delicious
Good value too for the amount of food.
Highly recommended.
