Ashley’s Cafe

Good food, excellent service
Got the Mediterranean omelette, CHOCK FULL of vegetables + toast that was already (over)buttered for me. Food is decent, good, feels very home cooked but nothing outstanding.
Service was excellent, friendly place.

Ate their Sunday morning ordered Greek omelette spinach, feta, onion. Heard cook say feta to new owner Martin. Assumed he got it out of fridge for cook. Omelette came out, no feta. Nice male serve went back to kitchen, came back & said out of feta. Why didn’t kitchen tell waiter? Reordered a breakfast sandwich, rest of party finished before I got mine. Server apologized, cook looked thru window & smirked. Wouldn’t go there again, owner had to know they didn’t have feta before it came out. Cook needs an attitude adjustment. $ 21 for 2 coffees, 1 western omelette & 1 breakfast sandwich. No home fries .go next door to Downtown Diner, better price & lots of food the Eggs Benedict are GREAT!

Ashley’s is no longer Ashley’s which was a great disappointment. Food arrived cold and service was very slow albeit pleasant. We went based on Unilocal reviews and wanted others to be aware!

Went there this past weekend for a late Breakfast, and everything we had was yummy. I had the breakfast burrito with a side of home fries. Loved the seasoning on my home fries. Great selection with a lot of flavors choices. Service was quick, and our server was very friendly. Would return next time we are in the area.

We ate here while on vacation in the area. It was absolutely delicious. I had just 2 eggs and toast with bacon and it was amazing. I don’t know what was in the over easy eggs but they were the best I’ve ever had. Toast appeared to be fresh baked bread and the bacon was thick and crisp. Even the coffee was delicious. We stopped back later in the day just for more coffee!

This place is an absolute delight!
They have plenty of vegetarian options to choose from! I was visiting Lake Placid and l found this place where I can have breakfast and my fiancé can have lunch. Just like any other independent business their portion sizes are generous. Waitress is very friendly and attentive. It is a small place so feels nice an cozy. And if you have any questions, guess what; Ashley is right there to answer.
Dont forget to pick up some pastries to go after that large lunch you had!

Open Early!
Eat here before you go skiing. It’s open early, and the food is great. Nice hearty bread. You can get coffee and cappuccino/​espresso. Great Adirondack atmosphere, with amazing black and white photos on the walls of local spots. While our waitress was very sweet and nice, she was a little flaky. We struggled to get coffee refills and the check. Granted we’re from Jersey, and we’re ALWAYS in a rush.
Ashley’s would be my go to, if I lived in Lake Placid, which I don’t, but I kinda wish I did.

Bottom line: Beer Sampler and buffalo shrimp EQUALS yummm

Nice place. Friendly atmosphere. Good food. We’ll go again.

Small little unassuming place that serves great food! Everything we tried were yum. I especially loved the caramelized banana oatmeal and apple pancakes. I also loved that they serve a wide selection of teas and coffees. Perfect place for breakfast.

My boyfriend and I spend a lot of time in Lake Placid, but had yet to find a good breakfast place… but after breakfast today I’m pretty sure we’ve found it! The service was great, friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is comfy and the food… yum! I’m a rather picky pancake person but these definitely fall in my top 3! I would definitely recommend this place!

Breakfast was great. The kids got pumpkin pancakes and gingerbread French Toast and they were both delicious!
Waitress was very friendly too.

Had breakfast here and loved it.
Very cute and laid back atmosphere. Plenty of space between tables which is so nice.
The prices are really affordable too. I had the blueberry pancakes with adk maple syrup. Nice fluffy pancakes with lots of blueberries. My husband had a combo dish-​eggs, toast, and pancakes.

This place is great, its adorable, it has coffee, friendly service, and oh vegan food. Yup thats right they have a vegan burrito. Which makes me oh so very happy. I am slightly confused at how a vegan burrito costs more then all the other food people ordered. My meal cost 7 (well 8 cause I wanted avocado… except never got it so back to 7), the monster bear sandwich (idk what it was really called, but it had like 3 meats!) cost only 5 dollars. and a waffle was around 5 as well. Hmm. Oh well. Everybody loved their meal, enjoyed the service, and appreciated the coffee.
It says its worth the walk, and it is.

Good food. Friendly. My burger was to feature sliced cucumbers. They were out. Partner had diet coke (from can) with his meal. Ordered a second soda and there were out. Small place with 4 staff working. Surely one of them could have walked down street to grocer to get more soda and cucumbers. Oy!

Ate here for lunch. The hot apple cider is delicious! I ordered the BLT sandwich with maple mayonnaise which was great! The rest of the family had burgers and paninis. We all enjoyed our food. The best part was the waitress who was super friendly and attentive. It’s the second time I’ve eaten here and both times great food and friendly service. I highly recommend!!!

I was worried that while on holiday in Lake Placid finding vegan friendly meals might be an issue. I mean it is usually doable to get something modified for sample without cheese or mayo. But out in the world breakfast almost always includes eggs. Ashley’s had on their menu some black bean cakes which they happily subbed out for eggs on the breakfast sandwich making it an avocado, black bean and tomato. Not a traditional repast but a hearty one and it was tasty too! The avocado was at its peak of ripeness and provided a nice creamy offset to the bean cakes. And I love me some beans any time of day! My dining companions relished their meals of eggs etc and stated they would happily return. We just wished we had gone back for lunch there too that day as we ended up going to another restaurant which was very disappointing. But Ashley’s was great and they were nice and gracious with tasty food so that makes for happy in my book.

We stopped into Ashley’s for breakfast after reading other reviews and expected a good rendition. Unfortunately that was not the case. My wife did get a nice omelette cooked to order (spinach and goat cheese) and my son had the junior pancake and eggs which he enjoyed.
However, I ordered a simple two eggs over medium with rye toast. Who knew this would be so problematic! My plate came out with two runny (over easy) eggs and no toast. I asked for them to be cooked a little longer which the server obliged and she said my toast would be on its way as well. So I waited patiently for 10 minutes or more as I watched my wife and son finish their meals. Then the server presented us the check (including the charge for my food) yet my meal was still not served! After a moment of surprise I walked up to her and said to hold the order as it was too late and no point for me to continue waiting. She said she understood and kindly removed the charge from the bill. I’m still not sure why this was such a problem. It was probably an aberration but for our visit I have to give Ashley’s only one star.

Everything was great, I ordered the Mountain Mamma and it was incredible. My friend ordered the Mountain Man, and we shared the pancakes. The food was AWESOME! This is a definite on my list! Oh, and get the hot caramel apple cider — it is liquid love…

If you’re in the area, you must get breakfast here. Actually, you don’t have much choice since there are few options if you want breakfast. Nevertheless, it is a charming, down-​to-​earth place with excellent food.
