Stairway Cafe

What a beautiful place to have a lunch on a sunny day.
I loved the way this restaurant has been set up. The food was great for its price. It was fresh and delicious. The hospitality was excellent.
Their pineapple upside down cake was the best. Never had that anywhere and I don’t think I will.

This place is awesome!!! It's like being in your grandmother's kitchen in the 70's!! The food was delicious! We went for breakfast while on a snowmobiling trip. We got there at about 8:45am. At 9:00 people started coming in. It's a small little place so not a lot of seating. I think it's worth the wait. However, we didn't have too at 8:45. I loved that they used dish towels as napkins and wrapped the utensils in them. The prices are average and service was great. I'll be back for sure when in the area. Pictures don't do much justice. It was difficult to take them with the dining room being full.

Stopped in at the end of our weekend mini vacation. My fiancé Tried the duck and elk sausages and was pleasantly surprised how delicious they were! I got the Mediterranean omelet which had artichoke spinach and sun dried tomatoes with feta. So yummy. We sat outside on the porch and had a beautiful view of the town. Can’t wait to go back again!

Quaint cafe with good food! The Irish Benedict was so good! A few more home fries would have been appreciated though. The chicken sausage omelette was excellent with homemade apple sauce. Yum!!

Our family has been coming to NH and this is the first time we’ve been. One quick Google search and voila, one of the best breakfasts we’ve had in a long while. Server was friendly and attentive. My husband had an omelette and I had the fluffiest blueberry pancakes with delicious maple syrup. Too big to eat took one home. They were the size of the plate! You can eat inside on the second floor or you can eat on the balcony. You feel like your home in the sweet nestled little, dining area that’s exquisite. The feel is a great mix of rustic and retro. Definitely recommend and we will be going back in our many future trips! They do not miss if you’re in the area.

It was a nice place in town to have brunch. We had the elk eggs benedict and corned beef hash with the side of home fries. They were understaffed so wait time was a little longer but the staff were nice considering the situation. You need to take the stairs to get to the cafe hence their name (I suppose) so it is not wheelchair or stroller accessible. They have outside seating too.

The Almond Joy pancakes were even better than expected and the Huevos Rancheros were very tasty. Excellent service and great location in central North Conway across from the park…sit on the balcony to people watch. It was great. We’ll definitely go back.

Went on a Tuesday in early February. Not overly busy. We were seated after a few minutes and received good hot coffee. There was 3 of us and we got a lobster Benedict that was on special, an elk Benedict which they were out of elk so we went with pheasant which was on special, a side of bacon and a full monte. Service was quick and attentive and the food was good. I had the lobster Benny. The lobster was good and fresh however if I could do it again I wish they had warmed the lobster in butter prior to serving. The lobster was served cold and it really made the whole plate on the Cold side. It was also served with a cold wedge of lemon on top. I like the taste of lemon but the cold lemon wedge with the cold lobster further contributed to cooling the plate. One of the eggs was slightly more runny then I prefer. I like my eggs over easy but one egg the white was definetly still fully translucent. My final recommendation would be to please butter the English muffins under a Benedict. The home fries were tasty It seemed with seasoned with old bay but not overly spiced. Hollandaise seemed home made and it tasted good. Personally I prefer my Holly slightly thicker but any Holly that is homemade I’m glad to try. I would recommend. And to the owners I think you are doing a great job I will be back.

The wait staff was very pleasant. Everything was clean.

The food on the other hand was subpar. I had cornbeef hash with two xl eggs. Well the cornbeef had so many carrots in it that hot sauce would not drown out their taste. I’ve never had carrots in hash before but figured everyone does it different. This was way too many carrots. The eggs were average size eggs , nothing dl about them. My wife had the turkey club and was disappointed at how dry it was. The bread itself was over toasted and scratched the inside of
Her mouth every time she had a bit. The sandwich turkey was not very flavorful. The price was not adequate for the portion or taste of it.

Overall I would not recommend this place.

Lovely, cozy little breakfast spot right on the main road in North Conway. The dining room is super cozy, warm and inviting with a lot of character. The food was soo good, had a great omelette with delicious home fries and thick toast on the side.
