A Dozen Delicious Finger Lakes Diners and Cafes to Explore!
The next time you are on a road trip through the Finger Lakes region, and maybe you just do not want to stop at a fancy restaurant for a big dinner, or maybe you have already had your fill of the famous wineries for one day, we suggest you consider stopping at a small café or diner along the way.
This is a list of 12 cafes and diners scattered throughout the Finger Lakes region. Some are very small, others maybe a tad bit larger. But all are delicious and worth a stop.
These places offer good, hearty home-cooked meals, delicious country breakfasts, and even a delightful assortment of homemade bakery items. The staff will welcome you with a smile, and you will find most of the portions are large. Some of these places are tiny Mom-and-Pop eateries, others are bedecked in neon, chrome and leather (just like in "Happy Days").
We hope you will consider stopping at these great places on your next trip to Waterloo, Geneva, Ithaca, Hammondsport, Naples, Auburn, and other Finger lakes communities.
