The Towpath cafe, located in Fairport New York, is a full service restaurant and cafe offering outdoor dining in warm weather, breakfast, lunch and dinner year round as well as catering and the use of our lovely dining room as a banquet or party facility.  We also offer catering services at the location of your choice.

The Towpath cafe has an inviting, warm and eclectic feel emphasized by its large windows offering a perfect view of the Erie canal and one of the most unique Lift Bridges in the world.  The Fairport Lift Bridge allegedly appeared in Ripley's Believe It or Not due to its unusual construction.  It is the only bridge in the world built on a bias.  It is an irregular decagon, an engineering feat with no two angles being the same and no two corners are square.  The Box Factory building itself has a lively history.  The site was originally purchased by Daniel DeLand in 1852 where he built and operated the Deland Chemical Works.  It suffered a devastating fire February 4, 1893.   The factory was rebuilt shortly after the fire but fell victim to competition from Arm and Hammer.
