Always a great spot for old school Americana breakfast and baked goods. Give them a look before hitting one of the chains, youll be thrilled.
Great breakfast menu, delicious food and great desserts and pastries!
Good food , waitress wasnt very attentive.quite a wait but would go again..
Its been my favorite breakfast spot for most of my life. Now for my girlfriend and I going here Tuesday mornings is our weekly ritual. Everythings good but you cant top the Lumberjack Breakfast with strawberry topping on the pancakes!
Delicious pastries & coffee at a very good price. Take-away order but looks to be a very nice venue to eat-in being that its right on the canal/river. Such a sweetheart of a woman who waited on me.
Went here for the first time, the family and I loved it. Food was good service was great. Very friendly staff. We had Danielle, she was great, always smiling. We are definitely coming back.
This place was delicious. I had the lumberjack special, which had more food than appropriate for one person and for less than $9. The toast was thick, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. The potatoes were well seasoned and cooked, and the pancakes hit all the right notes in terms of taste and texture. The service was excellent, even now I regret leaving only a 20 percent tip. I highly recommend this place.
We were driving through town on vacation and stopped for breakfast. What a find!! Great breakfast and service! Regina was so nice and friendly. We felt like regulars even though it was our first time there. We left with full stomachs and a bag of cookies for the rest of our trip. If you want great food and friendly service this is definitely the place to go.
They serve the best breakfast in Bradford PAPaPa scoops recommend it to usAnd John Williams European pastry shope did not disappointThere food is so good my husband had the pancakes which were awesomeI had eggs, homefries and baconBest breakfast Ive had in a long time will be going back next trip
Top notch food and service. I highly recommend the loaded home fries!
It was a nice atmosphere, friendly people. We stopped in for lunch after dropping off our child at the college.The food was great. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger w/fries and it was very good. My wife ordered the three cheese grilled cheese w/ bacon and tomato and cup of french onion soup (excellent). We sat out on the patio. It was clean, comfortable and nice music. The staff was friendly and attentive. Again, a great atmosphere, very relaxing. Will definitely be returning. Oh and the pastrys are amazing. The price was good too!
After several years of going regularly Ive had to edit my review. The service here has gone down hill. The servers have become so unfriendly and unwelcoming that Ive stopped going. This used to be the friendly hometown diner but the atmosphere has completely changed. They continually raise the prices while letting the service and food quality slide. I would suggest spending your money elsewhere.
What a great restaurant and bakery! Today I had the best veggie omelette and home fries. They added all the veggies I wanted to both the omelette and home fries. The service was amazing! The waitresses are courteous and kind! The waitress who cared for me made sure my coffee cup never was empty! The baked goods are great! I make it a point to drive over from Eldred just to get the baked goods. I’m always pleased with the freshness of the baked goods! This is a great place to relax, read, pray and enjoy a nice meal. Blessings from Jim Cannistraci 🙏
We went their for breakfast yesterday and today. Food is prepared fresh for you breakfast foods are wonderful their. Meals are nice eyes very fresh. Coffee very good flavor they always brewing fresh pots no stale coffee at all. Waitresses extremely pleasant friendly. It is a small town restaurant with a unbelievable friendly wonderful atmosphere I recommend this place to eat for anyone prices are very very good food is very good portions good size. Tell the waitress Mariah and Regina that Lou said to say Hi. And if you see my World War II friend of 95 years of age Bob tell him I said hello
The best breakfast and pastries in Bradford. My dogs loves it too
Quaint pastry shop in Bradford, Pa. Very good pastries. It has a restaurant in it that serves good breakfast and lunch items. Home made fresh! Open to 3 pm.
So happy that we stumbled upon this place! Coffee was delicious and our breakfast was even better. Really reasonable prices and so worth the value. Only thing I regret is not buying more baked goods/pastries before we left. We had a cinnamon strudel that was so so good. Also - the waitresses were so lovely!
Really good food. Waitress was very efficient.
Stopped by here and his weekend. Honestly, I cant remember enjoying any better pastries. Apple strudel: awesome. Raspberry poppy seed croissant: unbelievable. Raspberry stick: amazing. The biscotti were also tremendously satisfying. Stop here and leave with your taste buds blown away.
This is a great place to stop for breakfast/lunch. Their fresh baked goods are some of the best that youll ever have, and you can tell that they make everything on premises. You get a sense of community here, like the waitresses know most of the people who come in. It has a cozy feel, and is willing to accept campers from local sites for a meal.
We had a small gathering for my moms 83rd birthday today. The food was excellent, the prices excellent, portion size very generous and our server, Beth was wonderful and fun. The Birthday cake we ordered was beautiful and delicious! Many thanks for a great experience!
Their pastries are delish; my favorite - the Raspberry Poppyseed Croissants!! Whenever I make the trip, I buy a variety and drop off at friends and family. Was turned on to this place by my roommate in college back in the early 90s. Been going ever since!!
This was my first time here & probably my last. i had high expectations from reading reviews & ended up having a stressful experience. younger woman working at the counter severely overcharged us, when we pointed out her mistake she “corrected it” making a ~$.30 difference. told us soup came with the sandwich we ordered at no extra cost, which evidently isn’t true since we got charged. 2 stars because the food was alright
The place was mostly empty when we arrived, yet we had to hail a waitress for menus. The food took 45 minutes to get to our table, half of each meal was cold like it had been sitting for a long time, not a trace of warmth. Otherwise, there was plenty of food and it looked pretty good. Pretty disappointing. Not like it used to be.
I enjoyed the apple strudel and danish we bought with coffee. All the pastries looked delicious. There was inside and outside seating available, and the staff was friendly. I will be visiting again.
Their breakfast box is delicious.
I had biscuits and gravy, the biscuits were great but the gravy was clumpy and grainy. Also got raspberry turnovers and chocolate chip cookies they were out of the world.
Great breakfast. Friendly service.
Been visiting here for years. Wonderful pastries and breads. Delicious breakfasts. Eggs cooked to perfection. Try the French toast! Very good service. They did the cupcakes for my wedding!
Our server was a delight..she just started a couple of day ago..I havent been there in a very long time...I miss the little pastry you would give with breakfast. Not only was it delicious..but a nice touch. I may as the raspberry filled churro too.
Great selection of foods here, from breakfast to lunch and pastries. I will definitely be coming back. This is one of the few great places to eat around here
This authentic bakery and cafe is the real deal. We met the owner/baker and toured his kitchen. You will find grilled sandwiches and homemade chicken salad and delicious just baked pastries and cookies. No frills, clean, good prices and homemade food. So glad we stumbled upon John Williams pastry shop on our trip south.
Another surprise for Bradford eating! Pleasant atmosphere and staff. I had a breakfast skillet that was good and came with salt-rising bread. The sample from the bakery was delicious. Cant wait to go back!
We are here now having our late breakfast. This is the #1 place in Bradford for fresh and well prepared meals. We enjoy the friendly wait staff. The strawberry salad is fantastic. Eat better.. stop here.
Talk about a great place! Service great, decor classic, heck even the chief hit the order up bell with style. You guys changed my whole rating scale for breakfast. I will drive hours out of my way to come here again
The food there is always amazing, and the employees are very friendly.
My wife surprised me with this place as I am from out of town and love pastries but am always complaining about the lack of such shops in this area. Well I was pleasantly surprised, taste was on point, selection whilst not huge was more than I expected, staff was very friendly. All in all a wonderful experience and I am sure I will be back especially for the breakfast which I was told about.
This is my familys favorite spot to go when my aunt is in town. Great service, affordable and wonderful food. Quick to correct any mistake or grievance. Very attentive many checkups for any extra services needed.
Quaint & cozy. Good food, good service.
Great food. Fresh baked bread. We had the El Cheapo, Big Breakfast, Burger, and Biscuits and gravy. Everything was delicious and cooked to order. Fast and friendly service.
Very kind staff and many appealing baked goods. Cant wait to visit again.
I have eaten here over 100 times. One bad experience. Someone walked out in the middle of sunday rush. The amazing owner went above and beyond. Not only did he comp my breakfast he gave me cobblestone bread.
The service was awesome. My glazed donut french toast was amazing.
Clean, they didnt pay alot of attention when people are ready to check out and they put favored customers (or it may have been a friend) ahead of people who have been waiting for 10 mins sadly
My husband & I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at Glendorn...They had our cake made at John Williams...I cant begin to tell you how delicious & how beautifully decorated it was....it was a complete blessing.Thank you so much to John Williams European Pastry Shop:)Susan & Ted Cataldi
My favorite place in town to take my dog for breakfast or lunch!! The patio is perfect, along with the food!
I have to give BIG Kudos to our waitress yesterday morning. 8 of us attending the car cruise stopped in for breakfast. the women sat at one booth , hubbys at another. So we had to tell her who belonged with who when ordering....Poor thing. haha..She did SUPER, we all got the right order and the bills were done right.. Great server, and so sorry I didnt get her name.....I feel bad.. This was around 8 a.m. THANKS for good service and good food!!
We were here visiting a relative and decided to stop in to buy some cookies to take for the kids. They had these cute ones decorated with icing to look like monster faces so we settled on those figuring they were cute for kids. At $1.79 a piece I expected them to be good bakery quality cookies. We got to the house and were very disappointed to find that the icing was so dried out that it just crumbled and slide right off the cookie all over the floor. The cookie itself was just OK but nothing to write home about. I guess I just expected that paying almost $2 a cookie that they would be made fresh each morning. We were there before noon so its not even like it was late in the day. I wont be going back and my relative who lives up here said she wont be trying anything from there either based on our experience.
Nice little place to eat. Lots of good baked goodies.
Every year I call and order a dozen chocolate covered strawberries for my mom for Mothers Day. They have an excellent price, excellent customer service, and they deliver them to her home for me since Im in CA. Great job John Williams! Id love if you had a website and an online menu, I might order things all year...
This place didnt fail to satisfy my taste buds with its wonderful dessert options, scrumptious lunch, and generous staff. I highly recommend it.
We stopped in for a back to Bradford breakfast. The food is great. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is homey and welcoming. We missed this restaurant when we were traveling.
Great food... Wonderful pastries and prompt service. No soap in bathroom, later found in sanitizer bottle. No soap in first bathroom
Great service and food was awesome! Will definitely be back.

Great service and great off the menu food.Pastries out of the case are generally good, especially when fresh.
Fresh salad and great homemade soup was great. I have never been disappointed in anything I get here.

2020-12-06This is a wonderful treasure in the heart of Bradford, PA. The food and the coffee were excellent, as was the waitress. You really need to give this place a try. You can dine in or take out. They have their tables spaced out to ensure social distancing. And dont forget to check out the baked goods!! You wont be disappointed!!
