Willow Glen Cafe

Willow Glen Cafe is a small-town diner north of the village of Skaneateles, the Onondaga County village at the top of Skaneateles Lake. The kitchen turns out home-cooked comfort food, and the cafe is open for breakfast and lunch rather than dinner. It is a plain, friendly kind of place built around a good plate of food.

The pitch here is simple: walk in, grab a seat and feel like part of the family. That easy, familiar feel is the draw of a neighborhood diner, and it makes the cafe a good option for anyone passing through the Skaneateles area who wants a plain, filling morning meal.

What to Know

• The cafe serves breakfast and lunch, so plan on a morning or early-afternoon visit.
• Comfort food made the home-cooked way is the focus, in a casual diner setting.
• It sits just outside the village center, north of Skaneateles, so it works for drivers coming in from that side.
• The cafe is closed one day each week, so confirm hours before making a special trip.
