Commonwealth Kitchen Cafe - Tradesville

The food was amazing and very simple, which I loved. I just came to Pennsylvania for vacation and I think this place is a great place to eat a good breakfast or even lunch. The waiter was very polite and let us know in advance about their little bee problem and if we had any problems with the bee's we could be seated inside (the bees weren't much of a problem). The food was brought to us in less than 15-16 min, which wasn't long considering the amount of food we ordered (4 people) . Although this place is small and quiet, everything thing was great and deserves some much needed credit. Kid-friendliness: They had some dessert breakfasts, which sounded really good. Like the Nutella and Banana waffles, or even the Belgian waffles with berries. Drink wise, they had a couple of juices to choose from.

This little place won a West Lancaster Jewel award and it is a gem. Menu is amazing, food is delicious. Our Waitress Nadine was cute and pleasant as can be. Seating inside or out. Indoors has a little boutique of handmade items by a local artist. Check this place out!

The only reason this is a two-star and not one is because the hostess was super nice.The food was subpar and the breakfast potatoes were cold. I got the steak benedict which comes with fruit and instead of putting it on the side, it was placed in the benedict sauce and covered. I couldn’t eat any of it.Our server/manager brought our food and never came back until we were completely finished. My wife ordered the sausage and it the flavor was overwhelmed with sage and wanted it switched, but she never came back. You could hear her complaining about guests the entire time we were there just feet away. Such a weird experience.

We made a reservation online over an hour before the time we selected, and they had every 5 minutes available. I called to let them know we were running 5 minutes late and they said they only just got the reservation and hadn’t approved it because they were super busy. They told me that you have to make reservations a day in advance—why have an online reservation system if it’s not accurate of what’s available?
