Reviews of Toymakers Cafe (Coffee Shop)

Beautiful place to relax and grab a coffee. I visited as an AT THRU Hiker so they allowed me to tent on their property. Very grateful for this business.

Banger platter and the cinnamon waffle is usual superb. The wait can be a bit long depending when you arrive. If they accepted credit cards I'd give them a 5 star.

Sam Hermann

Good food, cool place to hang while in town!

travis finnemore

I go here every weekend on my motorcycle, best place around! quaint, good food, good people, good conversations!

DAVID SCHULDER

The bast waffles! Great food, atmosphere, people. You might have a wait on a Sunday so take a walk thru the lovely town. Lots of cool bikes.

Gun Ride

Walked in and ordered a cheeseburger, the woman taking my order said "that will be a 2 hour wait".I walked out. That was my first and last visit. There are many places up or down Rt..7 that you can get a great cheeseburger without the wait.

Bill Hayes

Favorite lunch stop while cruising the Litchfield county hills on my motorcycle. Unique!

Mackenzie Cameron

Great spot for breakfast when out for a bike ride. Lot's of 'character'. CASH ONLY

Susan Middlebrook

Nice place to socialize

Steven Leckrone

Good , nice people you don't mind giving your money too. Best waffles ever.

Took an hr to get a toasted english muffin with a schmear of cream cheese and less than fresh salmon, and was made to feel out of line for asking after 50 minutes of waiting

Great local place to stop if you are in the area. Highly recommend the waffles.

Suzanne Gough

Loved it here, its quaint and homemade but. make sure you give. yourself plenty of time as it's homemade and therefore takes time but it's worth it.

Steve Eide

The staff was incredibly friendly. The sweet potato waffles were terrific. The atmosphere is quaint and extremely informal. I would go back again anytime I was in the area.

Ferrell Moultrie

L. Ws

Bikers place. Cozy. Simple. Tasty. Bring cash, check or barter. No plastic at this place

David Mason

American and British comfort foods, great waffles and egg dishes. This is an unusual restaurant - a favorite of locals, motorcyclists, and Appalachian Trail hikers. Excellent tea served in proper British tea pots. Every meal is prepared one at a time, so if it is crowded the wait can be long, but you are bound to fall into conversation with the varied and friendly crowd. Outdoor and front porch seating available too. Prices are modest. One of my favorite stops when I am in Falls Village.

Gary Moore

Awesome Fresh Farm to Table food and a Great Motorcycle Destination...

Mike Easter

Greg and Annie do a great job. It's just Greg in the kitchen so it can be up to an hour for food. It's well worth it, their food is amazing and so is their coffee. While waiting grab a cup of coffee or a drink and a book and relax. Toymakers is a hidden gem in Northwest Connecticut. Must try items are the waffles and the burgers.

Philip Kinney

Very good food and an incredibly warm staff. I can happily recommend the sandwiches, smoothies, muffins, and salads. There's a cool mix of bikers, hikers, and everyone else. (FYI they're very hiker friendly, you can camp for free)

Joseph Fusaro Jr

Consistently great. Great atmosphere and you never know what you will see in the parking lot. More then just a place to eat, its a destination. Nice area as well.

David Zucco

Good coffee

John F. Weingold

Corn beef hash very tasty. The waffle sandwich looked delicious as well.

John Paul

A cafe owned and operated by a motorcycle enthusiast. Great food and great wall art. They make an excellent cup of coffee.

ken ken

Great destination or stop if your on a motorcycle but not necessary either.... good food with an English flair... nothing fancy but very good.

Mr. W Kobialka

Worth the wait, cozy, fun bikers gathered on Sunday morning.

Chang Yeol Ryu

Food maybe good, but I am not so sure it is worthy for the long wait. Been waiting for more than a hour (from 12:45 pm to 2:25 pm no food). It was not so busy.. only one person working in the kitchen. Not recommend for “big party (>6 people)” guests. My wife’s omelette was cooked in a microwave in a hurry. Not good...

James Graham

Very generous owners and delicious food/coffee

Matthew Whitcher

Got a table right away but still a good wait for food. On weekends fugedaboutit crazy wait times. Food is super super. Worth the wait. Really great.

ROBERT HURBON

Bought a cheeseburger and a cup of chili and soda cost me $17.50 chilli was burned never again

Cathy R

Excellent ride to CT for great food at an awesome Cafe. Peanut butter and fluff on whole wheat bread, yummo. Thank you so much ❣️

Matthew Berry

I ordered the Waffle Sandwich off the specials menu and it is definitely something that needs to become a regular menu item. Super great food and top notch service. I got to sit outside on the deck and enjoy my breakfast for dinner in this quaint little town

Tyra Maggi

Great food

Tim Rappleye

The pesto and egg breakfast sandwich is an all-time classic. great company and personalities on both sides of the counter. Bravo!

Ahhh! The Toymaker's Cafe..... It's a destination spot for many motorcycle riders in the tri-state (Connecticut, New York, & Massachusetts) area. Getting here is half the fun. Every route presents spectacular roads and scenery. The cafe itself is a wonderfully quaint little place, with an eclectic mix of furnishings making for a warm, inviting space. The food is cooked on one small grille by the same fellow who also buys and sells vintage Brit bike stuff on days when the cafe is closed. You might share one of the few tables inside with some hipsters up from New York City, or maybe a somewhat disheveled hiker off the AT, which passes very nearby, in slight need of a shower, a couple of weekend bicyclists, or very likely a few fellow motorcyclists. All can chat and enjoy each others' company. A really neat thing. I've stopped in on several occasions, and always enjoy whatever I order. The one meal I've never tried was any variation on breakfast, although it can be had all day. On this last visit, I wasn't terribly hungry, so I had a bowl of their own chili. My riding buddy this day had eggs and biscuits with sausage gravy. I mentioned to him that my chili, while very flavorful, tasted like the cap had fallen off the salt shaker when making it. He reluctantly replied that his sausage and gravy tasted that way also. VERY salty. Too bad, because it only needed a smidgen of salt since it was so good otherwise. Maybe today was an unfortunate fluke.....I'd like to think so. It certainly won't prevent me from stopping in the future, I'll just be more selective about what I have next time. It's a great destination ride and a really cool little cafe, even if you only stop for a hot or cold beverage and to chat with the variety of folks who also come here.

Tom Giannasi

Not a bad place. The waffles are good

Bill Hearn

Excellent Gourmet Comfort Food and Baked Goods with Generous Portions.

Noah Pirozzi

Cinnamon butter waffles! 'nuff said.

Mike Kim

Can't get enough of the Toymaker's unique take on Biscuits & Gravy. Everything about this place is charming and is a one of a kind experience.

Mark Zanetti

I hate to be one of those people that says we waited an hour + for our food (busy Sunday morning) and they got 2 out of 3 meals wrong... So I won't say it :-) Nice hang out for biker-lites though.

scott haber

Always a great place to stop in for breakfast or lunch. Very mc friendly a big plus, family friendly as well

Al Carmona

Cozy atmosphere with charming locals! Wish I tried the food, I enjoyed a yummy cup of coffee. I'll definitely go back! Came back and enjoyed some home cooking. It was delicious.

I have to go over 100 miles. Wish they were closer. Great food and even better people.

Shane Robbins

Awesome little cafe. They have coffee, pastry and breakfast items for sale. In the middle of the most beautiful greenery around. Worth the trip. The owner and his lovely family are simply Awesome!!!

Annamarie Sant

Very cozy and welcoming Great biker stop.

Allison Craig

This place is absurd. They have no business being in the restaurant business. We waited an hour for our food (without being warned) and some people were told it would take two hours. TWO HOURS!! For egg sandwiches, grilled cheese, soups etc, nothing special, typical diner food. No apologies. They explain that they make one dish at a time. We had a good laugh, anyway...

Kevin McIndoo

Awesome place. Food was delicious!

Stuart Gibbel

Fantastic spot for breakfast. English breakfast. Coffee and tea to go.

a virello

Great place for bikes

Raymond Steele

One of the best burgers I have ever had. Asiago cheese on a burger is amazing !

Claudio Dijmarescu

best spinach wrap I ever had!

Tylor Hess

Amazing

Yvonne Smith

Two of the warmest hearts in Connecticut here running this Cafe the 2nd smallest town in the state. Worth driving to give them a visit for some coffee, breakfast, and small town warmth.

Richard Pargament

Fun environment. Interesting people to strike up conversations. Great breakfast and lunch. Try the Moroccan Chicken. Waffles are spectacular. Excellent cappuccino. Excellent baked goods too.

Dominic Marino Wadinambu

Food is really good. People are surely very friendly and helpful. The place looks pretty old and historic but it's such a lovely place.

Ron Kamienchick

Cute little place with surprisingly good cappuccino. Great sandwiches and muffins.

Bill Smith

Great food, great people, cool motorcycles.

vbom357

Incredible , breakfast was good

Michelle Tolbert

my "special" omelet took 45 mins to make and turned out to be microwaved in an omelet container. the bacon was literally bacon bits poured into the microwaveable container prior to cooking...and cost $10.

Wayne Pinkham

Service is slow. Food is okay.

Zach Bishop

Excellent Pastrami sandwich

Victoria Z

Can't find a better waffle - ANYWHERE - Period!

Lewis Laskin

Awesome cinnamon butter waffle!

slickpick

Word of mouth is how I discovered The Toy Maker, not sure I would have any other way. We ride from Rhode Island to grab a burger and it’s always worth it. Friendly owners and their food is high quality. Must check it out!

Colette Brion

The best cinnamon rolls! Very friendly staff.
