Ribbon Cafe

Great breakfast. It’s like having a homemade meal made just for you. Had the eggs and toast with thick slab bacon. Fluffy Thomas Poultry eggs done just right and delicious,slightly spicy bacon. Very friendly service in a cozy atmosphere. Out of the way but a great place. Try it!

Always greeted with a welcoming smile and hello as if I were a long-lost friend. This business struggles to keep good help but never lags in service. The dining room is small and intimate. Not noisy and good background music is not loud. Food is always hot out of the kitchen. And if you like chowder, it is award-winning.

Delicious food, Great Service, Good prices, Local Food, Support Small Businesses that Support the Community! The cook Kevin is so caring and generous! He has amazing chowder also!

This smaller venue and almost quaint atmosphere belies a large amount of talent in both the front and back of the house. We felt welcomed and comfortable from the moment we walked in until we left. The food was just excellent as well. Their chowder is award winning for a reason, but don't miss out on all the great offerings on the lunch menu as well.

We'll definitely be back!

Such a nice home restaurant. The service was friendly and prompt. My meatloaf sandwich was great! Great job helping a good cause.

Absolutely wonderful place to eat. BEST chowder ever! Warm comfy friendly atmosphere!

Had another bowl of the famous chowder, delicious! It went great with my panni, the food is so good here and staff is super friendly.

Excellent food and excellent owner and staff! They give so much to our community and definitely deserve the recognition!

Kevin always has delicious food. Christine makes delicious baked goods.
Coffee is flavorful

Happened to be in the area and stumbled onto this cafe with an amazing story. This cafe has great food and operates for an amazing cause. I bought a raffle ticket and won this amazing quilt to support children with cancer. What means even more to me is that I lost both my Grandma's from cancer when I was growing up. Having a blanket from someone who cares even if they are a stranger means the world to me. Thank you 💛

We stopped here with some friends for a breakfast meeting. the food is incredible and great prices. I will be back again

Great local place for creative, delicious food. Staff r lovely. Quick service. & It's a nice, less hectic atmosphere than trying to get into a place on Front st. Parking is easy. You feel like the staff r really happy to be there. And then they bring you some a huge, crispy plate of French toast. Home fries r crunchy & nicely seasoned. Baked goods very good too. " Creamsicle cookies" made w real oranges!? Yum. As a cancer survivor, I appreciate the cafe' s theme & support of the cause.

Excellent soup. Had a cup which wasn't on the menu. Very good tuna melt either gouda cheese and nice greens

Unique, delicious, a very special place.

We were blown away by the amazing taste and remarkable quality of the food and the kindness of the staff. The award winning southwest shrimp chowder is unique and unbelievably delicious. I couldn’t get enough. We came to Ballston Spa from out of town for a quick weekend trip to Saratoga. The chowder here was so incredible that we decided we had to return again on Sunday on our way out of town to take a few quarts home. Our server remembered that we said we’d be back Sunday morning and greeted us like family when we came in and had it ready for us without even having to ask for it. Of course, we had to stay for breakfast too - which was amazing! Their house made sausage is top notch. Everything is made from scratch daily. They are incredibly accommodating. My brother in law said the pulled pork sandwich was the best he’s ever had - top quality meat and bun. I can’t speak highly enough of this wonderful place. They do great work to support breast cancer patients too.

This was a great experience for me. My wife and I had breakfast here and we really fell in love with the vibe. We both met the owner is was a very lovely woman, and she told us how the name of the business came to fruition. I'm fighting leukemia myself so I know of the struggles chemotherapy patients go through, I'm fortunate I can get out but many can't.

We enjoyed the staff the food we even got a pound of chowder and coffee. We will be back for sure, and thank you for the experience.

Very friendly atmosphere, high-quality ingredients, and highly recommended you pay a visit!

One of the most delicious breakfasts I’ve ever had… “Holy shit” were the first words out of my mouth after trying the sausage gravy. Sooooo yummy. I also had the avocado toast breakfast, which was also “holy shit” worthy… The owner is super nice and even shared his pickled onion recipe with me! I will be back… many times!

Fabulous little place. Quaint atmosphere next to the historic chocolate factory in Ballston Spa. Delicious high quality food. Sliced roast beef sandwich with tasty fork tender beef. Fish and chips to die for. Excellent soups. Very friendly staff.

Fully enjoyed our lunch. First time ever eating Chowder. I am told I picked the best for my first by others dining with me. Everyone was friendly and invested in us having a great meal

This is our go to spot every weekend. Food is great and the owner and staff are wonderful people- feels like we are all family! Perfect little spot for breakfast and lunch- great baked good as well.
