Mom & Pop's Cafe

At Mom & Pop's Cafe & Catering, we are passionate about serving great food that brings people together. Our mission is to serve affordable, delicious meals that inspire a sense of community and positivity. We believe in using only the freshest ingredients, sourced locally whenever possible, to create dishes that are made with love and care. Our menu offers a variety of breakfast and lunch options, from classic eggs and home fries to gourmet omelets and specialty paninis. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or ordering for a special occasion, we're dedicated to providing exceptional service and a welcoming atmosphere. Our story began with the passion of our owners, Michael and Donna Venturiello, who drew inspiration from their Italian heritage and years of experience in the culinary industry. They opened Mom and Pop's Cafe Inc. in 2014, bringing their vision of a cozy, family-run eatery to life. Today, we're proud to be a part of the Ballston Spa community, serving up more than just meals - we're serving up memories and a sense of belonging.

Our Owners

Michael Venturiello, our owner, grew up in Italy where he developed a deep passion for traditional Italian dishes and pizzas. After moving to the United States, he worked as an executive chef for an airline catering company and owned several Italian restaurants. Donna Venturiello, Michael's partner, started her culinary journey in her mother's kitchen and later worked in her father's restaurants. She brings a wealth of experience in baking and catering to our table. Together, they bring a unique blend of Italian tradition and American flair to our menu and service.

Breakfast Options

Our breakfast menu offers a wide range of options to start your day off right. From classic eggs and home fries to gourmet omelets and specialty paninis, there's something for everyone. Our eggs are served any style, with a choice of home fries and toast. Hash and eggs, sausage gravy and biscuits, and breakfast pizzas are just a few of our signature items. If you're looking for something a bit more indulgent, our omelets are filled with a variety of ingredients such as cheese, meats, and vegetables. Whether you're in the mood for something simple or something more elaborate, we have the perfect breakfast option for you.
