For a long time, I've been wanting to write a review about my poor experiences the first and second time I visited here , but this last visit was the last straw and the last time that I will ever visit this place. I believe in trying a place 2-3 times before determining if it's awful . Well this past Saturday , this was it. The lady who was working Saturday morning has been our waitress before , and who has provided very rude, inattentive service was today taking orders, collecting money and standing in the counter area UNMASKED, only a foot or two away from customers. She said she was the manager. Three of us customers wore masks while waiting for our food while two sat at the counter unmasked drinking coffee . To make matters worse, 2 unmasked male cooks were easily visible through the large open window overlooking the kitchen by the counter where the food is placed after it is done. They were breathing only a few inches from the food ... UNMASKED. Then the lady who was bringing out the orders was also UNMASKED. She leaned over the counter only a few inches from customers . One of the masked customers asked why they weren't wearing masks and the lady manager sarcastically said she doesn't have to if she keeps her distance, which she was NOT, nor is this accurate information for servers and cooks. They are REQUIRED to wear masks . Customers who social distance 6+ feet are not required . I thought of speaking with her but then my order was up and decided to get out quickly and follow up with a call after I got my to go order . I called the restaurant and got the rude waitress/ manager . I expressed my concerns about her, the other gal and cooks not wearing masks or social distancing and I reminded her that it was a state REQUIREMENT during the COVID-19 current phase. She said she doesn't have to follow it if she doesn't feel like it and said if I don't like it, to take my business elsewhere . I then asked to speak with the owner and to provide me the name of the owner and a way to contact them . She refused . I told her another customer who visited spoke with me and was taking pictures of the unmasked staff and we’d be reporting them to health Dept and Atty general .

The food tastes fresh like it's not frozen. Food portions are spot on. Service is great and they're very attentive. Love coming here!

My new favorite breakfast place. Im not really a breakfast eater and ever since I ate here I LOVE EATING breakfast. The BEST FRIED POTATOES that I ever had. Luke even greeted my friend and me by our names, which in my book is AWESOME.

Bike rider. Stopped at Bella's for breakfast on a Sunday morning. I was greeted by a friendly person behind the counter. I took a seat and was waited on in a timely manner. I had the best biscuits & gravy! The delicious pancakes were light & fluffy! I will definitely be back!

Horrible Service. Arrived for breakfast and was greeted by a person behind the counter who asked me to have a seat anywhere. After sitting for over 5 minutes and being ignored, I left. Too many other good choices in Algonquin to put up with over priced food and bad service. Avoid this establishment!

The food here is fantastic! Omlets are light and fluffy with fresh ingredients that taste like they were garden picked! Great breakfast spot with friendly atmosphere and very affordable prices!
