On the Way Cafe

It was a cute spot and the staff were incredibly welcoming. But there’s room for improvement.

Breakfast stops at 11:15am (on the weekends the end breakfast at noon but they do have omelettes all day!) I had the omelette and it was delicious😋

This little cafe is an absolute joy with a true neighborhood feel. The owners and staff are always so friendly—it’s the kind of place where you feel welcomed the moment you walk in. The food is consistently great: the pancakes are unbelievably fluffy, the coffee is delicious, and the spicy southwest scrambled is hands-down my favorite.

It’s also super kid-friendly, which I really appreciate. Whether I’m there with my little ones (they’re always so accommodating) or grabbing a quiet breakfast on my own at the counter, it’s always a great experience. The outdoor seating is a bonus, especially on nice days.

Perfect spot for a relaxed weekend brunch or a midweek pick-me-up. Can’t recommend it enough!

We stumbled on to this awesome little Cafe in Rye last weekend after walking the dog near Rye Playland. The manager was super friendly and accomdated our wishes to sit outside even though they weren't set up for it as it is still winter. It was a warm day though. I can't say enough about our friendly and very professional waiter Tony. Sometimes with outside seating you get neglected, but not here. Tony was out consistently to check on us and that was nice. The food was great too. We went for a salad and an omlette with 2 lattes both of which were wonderful. The coffee was strong enough with good foam but not overly bitter. We definitely found a gem of a restaraunt with great people operating it. The inside seating looked quite nice as well. Now....when to go back 🤔

This cozy cafe has a small parking lot with 1 hour parking, so there is decent turnover. The atmosphere was very relaxing, as christmas jazz played a lone man sat, served, and cleared tables. Running food from behind the bar to each table in an orderly fashion. If you're in a rush, this isn't the spot, but it was rather nice not having a busy scene of servers and bussers cluttering the small space.

The food was excellent. Smaller delicious portions with great flavor and wholeness. We ordered eggs, bacon & toast, and a tomatoe mushroom swiss omelet with raspberry crum cake and ice coffee. The crumbcake was warm and buttery with hints of cinnamon. The ice coffee was smooth and had ice coffee ice cubes so as not to dilute *very nice touch*

All in all, good experience. If you're on the patient side and have the time, it's a good stop 𝘖𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘢𝘺 to wherever you're going!

On The Way is amazing... We even go there when it isn't on the way for us.

The owners are such nice people and care for their customers and staff... Which really shows in the food. Omelettes, pancakes are great... Burgers are the best.

Ask what pastries they have - they're also pretty awesome.
