We’re Open Again

After our much needed two vacations (Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays) the Freight Wheel Cafe we will be back open on Friday, January 3, 2025 resuming our normal schedule Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 1pm.

Believe it or not, Sunday, January 12, 2025 will be our 2nd anniversary for opening the Freight Wheel Cafe!!  WooHoo!  We have learned a lot, met a lot of interesting and kind people, many from Hartwick and surrounding towns in Otsego County.  We feel we are building our base and are very appreciative of our customers who visit us on a regular basis. We rely on you as friends to us and to the Cafe and hope you will bring your friends in for a meal and a visit.

We are still serving breakfast and lunch daily from 8am to 1pm, offering multiple soups, two types of quiches, our famous lemon ricotta pancakes on Sundays and our especially loved whole wheat pancakes with or without fruit every day.  If you haven’t tried our veggie quesadilla it can be your lunch and your dinner or something to share with a friend.  Delicious with salsa and sour cream. 

We hope to see you soon!
