    We absolutely love going to local affairs! The food and service are stupendous! But if you go plant carpool and plan for at least two hours! The wait time does seem pretty long and there’s just not enough parking! Even with the reservation, you might have to wait. And then because they take such care to make such fresh food you’re sitting there for quite a long time. But we like to make a morning of it spend time sipping our tea and sharing the tea! Are you?

    Lovely atmosphere, nice quiet place to get a bite to eat. The ham and gruyere crepes were perfect prepared. Our server, Izabela, was great. Very attentive and kept my coffee topped off!

    Local Affairs defines what a cafe should be! The dishes are perfectly prepared by the well trained kitchen staff and are incredibly attractive - and any description of the food itself as merely "delicious" would be woefully inadequate. It is that good! The service is very attentive, genuinely welcoming to all, and contributes to a really fine dining experience. This cafe is truly a Grand Slam. All of us in the greater Cooperstown, NY area wish Local Affairs the very best and are so glad you chose our neighborhood to perform your magic!
