Hometown Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
I placed a simple order over the phone for takeout. 3 egg omelette and a plain toasted bagel with cream cheese. Placing the order was very easy and the young man taking my order answered all my questions and was very polite. The eggs were perfectly scrambled, toast was just right. No complaints, will be back soon!

a perfect environment to share with friends in the morning and I did it with high school friends, we enjoyed it!! I loved the fireplace it gave that special touch to the place
One day I will move to New Hampshire, or Vermont, until then, when I want to have a local breakfast with my neighbors there is our Hometown Cafe! A local breakfast (and lunch and dinner too) place for a quick bite to have a nice meal and hear the talk of the day! Prices are fair, food is good, service is friendly! Been coming here since Day 1 and to Poppy’s before then...stop by!
First timers Small dining room but the wait was fine on. Saturday morning Good menu options and fast service French toast and toasted almond pancakes were great Perfect coffee and reasonable pricing Worth a try !
Love their fried rigatoni and they have a great grilled cheese with turkey and bacon. I went back a few days ago, I had egg in a hole I believe its called white buttered toast with fried egg in the hole to get two and a side of breakfast sausage. The best breakfast I have ever seen. Delicious. Husband had his usual grilled cheese with turkey and bacon. Alson delicious
What a find! When a little snow scares off lesser cafes from opening, Hometown pulls up the slack. Old school rugged mindsets and hearty meals for more than reasonable prices. I'm glad my usual breakfast stop was closed, Hometown is my new favorite! Eggs bacon toast and coffee done right. Came out fast after ordering. You cant go wrong. Fabulous service. I noted everyone knew customers names as they entered. That is a great sign. It was like being at an aunts home or at Grandma's. Cozy place with a fireplace going too! Forget the diners, hometown is the perfect stop.
