Village Coal Tower Restaurant
About This Spot
Village Coal Tower Restaurant feels like a comforting pause in the day, nestled right by the canal in Pittsford. Walking in, you’re greeted by a warm, easygoing vibe where the hum of conversation blends with the gentle clatter of plates and the subtle scent of home-cooked meals. It’s the kind of place where time slows just enough to savor not only the food but the simple pleasure of being somewhere familiar yet distinct.
The rhythm here is unhurried but attentive—whether it’s a cozy breakfast gathering or a casual lunch with family, Village Coal Tower invites you to settle into its quiet charm. The interior, featuring a classic diner counter alongside intimate tables, offers nods to a timeless American eatery that feels thoughtfully lived-in. You might find yourself watching the soft light catch on the water outside, recalling that small-town embrace that feels both comfortable and uniquely peaceful.
Food here is made with the kind of care that turns everyday staples into memorable plates. Whether it’s the satisfying crispness of golden home fries alongside a perfectly cooked omelette or the hearty warmth of a breakfast sandwich that feels like a gentle handshake to the day, each dish carries a quiet confidence. Seasonal touches, like a pumpkin swirl French toast or fresh spinach quiche, showcase a connection to local rhythms and flavors without needing to shout.
Village Coal Tower doesn’t rush you through the experience, but it does bring thoughtful service that keeps things moving just right. It’s the kind of spot where you might linger over a cup of coffee longer than planned, savoring both the food—and the unspoken comfort of a place that keeps things simple yet satisfying. Visitors often find themselves returning, drawn by the unpretentious atmosphere and the kind of hearty fare that feels like a shared secret between locals.

Really good breakfast, like having breakfast on the grill if that was a thing. Service was great, delicious food. Cash only but they do have an ATM. Really nice quaint area too.

Quiche was definitely a cut above your average quiche. The Omelette was a pretty standard Omelette. Great service, food came out quick. Cash only.

This is a pretty cool place on the inside. They have a diner counter area that most places don’t have though no one was seated there when we were there. We took the family here for lunch. The girls got burger plates, my wife got the cheeseburger club and I got the fish fry. The plates were good. The burgers you can tell are hand pressed and the home fries were well cooked. Not crispy but not under done like some places do. The macaroni salad was very good and my daughter ate hers and took half of my eldest daughters. It wasn’t just all mayo and noodles and it appears to have a tough of mustard in it. My wife liked the cheeseburger club the hand made patties were a good size and not overly greasy. My wife commented that she likes clubs after eating this sandwich so that says something. The fish fry was average. Nothing special but still good. I had it battered and it was a light crisp. The fries were crinkle cut. I don’t like coleslaw and I was able to substitute cottage cheese for that which I do like. This place was fairly busy when we were here but there was some open tables. It did take a long time to get food but we weren’t in any hurry. The staff was very nice. It’s a nice place to go and enjoy a meal. Just remember cash only…

Good food and quick service. But bring your cash or a check, as they don't take cards. We had a variety of items off the lunch menu and everyone in our party was satisfied. I'll be getting those delicious fried green beans again. Who knew fries green beans could create such a tasty snack.

Very nice setting on the canal with their own parking lot. Quick seating for a group of 6. Good menu with options for breakfast combo or a la carte. Good prices. Very attentive service. My three cheese omelet and Texas Toast were yummy. The Placki ( potato pancakes were a hit). Pretty view of canal
