  Omg I loved this place! Stumbled across it looking for breakfast in New Paltz. The eggs Benedict were perfect. The coffee was excellent. Everyone was super friendly. The place is comfy and has a great vibe. Can't wait til I can get back there sometime!

  We stopped in for to-go sandwiches before our hike, since many other spots weren’t open early; we’re so glad we did. They had a good mix of vegetarian and non-veggie options, everything made with fresh ingredients. The sandwiches were on point. Mine (the Green Guy) had pesto that was delightful — great flavor, not too greasy — with tasty mushrooms and veggies on a ciabatta roll. The turkey sandwich was fresh and satisfying too. Cute outdoor patio as well. Our only regret is that we didn’t go back a second time for breakfast or dinner, but we’ll be back. Highly recommend

  I had a great experience here. It was perfect place to stop by after we got rained out of our hikes in Lake Minnewaska. I decided to try out the NY Steak and a Deluxe Hot Cocoa. My friend ordered a Creamy Cajun Chicken Gnocchi. The steak was cooked exactly as I wanted it, and it came with creamy mashed potatoes and crispy onions that perfectly complemented the ensemble. The gnocchi was as creamy as advertised, and the noodles were soft and wonderfully seasoned. The hot cocoa was perfect for the occasion, as we were warming up from the rain. All in all, a very positive experience.

  This place has the cutest patio! The food portions are so generous and delicious. They have some unique menu items as well. We got a veggie toast and cubed breakfast potatoes and the French toast (which came with a little strawberry sauce that was giving smoothie in the best way) and paired it with some refreshing SUNBOY spiked coconut waters! Perfect brunch spot any day of the week!

  While the food was very good and portions substantial, the service was fairly non-existent. While not crazy busy when we arrived about noon on a Sunday, most of the tables were full. It took a while (long enough that I was able to make a beer decision from their extensive list) after being seated for the server to come and take our order. Our drinks came out and, when I opened my beer it foamed everywhere. We had been given no napkins so I kept using my hands to keep it from running off the table while my wife grabbed utensils from the host stand for napkins. Once the spill was abated I went up to the bar and tore off paper towels , the bar person just gave me a smile and didn't inquire as to what had happened. We wiped up the table and moved to another and at no point did anyone check to see what had happened. Our food came out and the server came to see if everything was okay. She didn't notice that we had changed tables and we didn't see her again for at least an hour. Empty glasses and plates were stacked at the end of the table but no one approached. We were having good conversation so didn't pay much attention to the time but I had picked out a second drink but no one was around. By this point, there were three tables inside and the staff seemed to have vanished. I thought about just ordering at the bar but then the bartender was also gone. It was a birthday and there was a gift bag to be opened and just as we were going to do that the server appeared, put the check on the table and said "no rush, whenever you're ready". I may have been snippy but did say that I was going to order another but it's okay. Of course, she was able to add on to the check another drink order, Seeing empty glasses and plates she should have approached us to see if we wanted anything else before giving us the check. It was lackluster experience despite the good food and drink selection.
