I had salmon. That was tasty. However, WAY too much kale. I would strongly suggest a half plate of garlic mashed potatoes. Hard to believe anyone eats that much kale. Half price wine was boffo. Dave Zipse is phenomenal

This was the second time that we have eaten at the Bellefonte Cafe. They are very sensitive to food allergies and have been able to provide gluten free appetizers and main entrees. The food is excellent, some of the best that we have had in the area. The wine is good and the service is friendly. Both times that we have dined at the Bellefonte Cafe was to also enjoy live music which is just very special in such a unique location with an enjoyable ambience.

It’s always fun to go there, but we especially enjoy it when Gunpowder Lane (band) is there. I always advise making a reservation ahead of time. We had a great location to see the band easily. And thank you to our waitress for being very accommodating when we accidentally spilled a glass of water - she brought us a pile of kitchen towels. Servers are so nice. Whole place is fun.

My friends and I love The Bellefonte Cafe. We were celebrating a birthday. It was nice to have live music right next to us. We were still able to talk to each other and could hear one another. Food was excellent! Server was super nice!

Such a cute little restaurant. Lots of character. Food was great, very fresh and the presentation was spot on. If you can't make up your mind, go for the Salmon or Grilled Cheese and Coleslaw. Very unusual menu items, especially the large number of natural teas. We were upstairs with a group, and the ambience was very eclectic. First place I've been to in awhile where I could hear the people across the table from me, and not just the person sitting next to me. We will definitely be going again.
