Reviews Summary

Bank Cafe is a popular breakfast spot praised for its cozy atmosphere and friendly service, with many recommending unique items like the snickerdoodle coffee and French toast. However, some patrons note surprisingly small sandwich portions for the price and express concerns about accessibility for those with mobility issues.

"Good coffe, friendly service, lots of outdoor seating (in shade during the morning which is nice) and fast free WiFi. A good place to get work done"

Ben Chester

"First my husband got burnt toast and coffee there.
And then I got hair inside my iced latte to go 🤦🏽‍♀️. It's really horrible."

Mariya Pylyp

"A good place for a local breakfast. Small on the inside but they have tables outside. Staff is very friendly but seemed overwhelmed by a group of six. Food was good and staff was very attentive. A nice stop when in town for the local experience."

Insider's Guide to Lake George

Breakfast at the Bank Cafe located on 326 Canada Street (no website available). Named Bank Cafe because it occupies a former bank and its vault is used as part of the dining area. It’s always crowded and the lines are out the door, but so worth it.
