One of my personal mottos is to never show up empty-handed, and Patisserie Didier Dumas made that…read morean easy promise to keep. I was visiting friends in Nyack and wanted to bring something special instead of the usual bottle of wine or grocery store dessert. This turned out to be exactly the right place. The display case was filled with beautiful French pastries, fortunately, they tasted every bit as good as they looked. What really stood out was seeing so many locals hanging out enjoying coffee and fresh pastries. That's always a good sign that you've found an authentic neighborhood gem rather than just a place catering to visitors. BB

For a first time at this apparent Nyack favorite, I didn't love it: many items sold out, things…read morewere pricey, the interior felt cluttered and not as clean as it could be, and I was disappointed in the pastries we did get. They had some interesting looking thick quiches, things like croissants, cakes, tarts and macarons (the girl behind the counter corrected my friend by saying "macaroon" which is technically incorrect). I'm a sucker for a good bread pudding but i should have reconsidered since that was the thing they seemed to have plenty of. They didn't heat that or the pear Tartlett up; eating them both cold was unsatisfactory (I know we should have said something but then a line was forming) and I felt sick after eating the bread pudding (perhaps too rich and just too cold and sad). I didn't feel very comfortable in the space, as I was expecting something more quaint and charming vs. old and in need of a makeover and cleaning. This was one experience so I would give it another shot, maybe earlier in the day. Metered street parking or there's a municipal lot around the corner.

Cute space, great service, and the best espresso I've had in a long time. I highly recommend this…read moreplace.

Several great pastry options and coffee. Tried their latte, they have "Oatly" if that matters, and tried the cream croissant and cheese + pepper pastry (forgot the name). Cream was slightly citrusy, and croissant was spongy and soft rather than flaky kind. Ambiance is quaint cute local cafe feel.

From their non-dairy Dole whip to flavored soft serves, their whole menu is absolutely fantastic! The only thing I would remove a half point for is the inconsistent pricing. I will sometimes be charged $5.75 for a listed price of $5.25. The service is great, but it always feels awkward to ask when it's such a small amount lol ANYWAY RUN TO LOUIE'S NOW!

I unfortunately don't get down here nearly as often as I'd like, but I definitely help 'empty' their challah racks when I'm in the area! You grab a large brown paper bag, walk through the place and fill it with freshly made bagels and breads, and then pay what seems like some arbitrary low number they come up with while at checkout! When I was growing up, we'd go in here at 4-5 a.m. when returning from the city and purchase even 'fresher' bagels and breads if that's even imaginable! How you can still get this close to production and touch and take yourself is beyond me, but I don't care! I LOVE this place! Long live Rockland Bakery for never changing! FYI, Don't leave without ordering a few sweets from the bakery side! Again, you won't believe what you're paying for what you're getting!

Their sourdough bread is a standout,crispy golden crust on the outside with a soft, chewy center and just the right amount of tangy flavor. It tastes incredibly fresh and pairs perfectly with butter, soups, sandwiches, or even on its own. I always get one when I stop by here! The variety, freshness, and unique bakery experience keep me coming back. Rockland Bakery is a must-visit spot in Rockland County.

If you're in the mood for a leisurely experience, indulgent meal, and like a worn (self described…read moreas "cozy" but also overall didn't feel very clean) environment, this spot is for you. A bit of an underwhelming experience though it got off to a good start. Online reservations said the wait was 80-95 minutes. But when we arrived, a reservation was canceled and we were seated right away outdoors. There appeared to be tables available outdoors and indoors so maybe they needed to control the flow for the kitchen staff. Food is "inspired by cafes in Tel Aviv" and is vegetarian and vegan focused. It was a bit pricey (eg., all included breakfast of two pancakes or French toast, eggs, small coffee and toast was $27) and there seemed to be a charge for many things but the overall quality and taste weren't bad. Mostly everything was around 18. The quiche had way more cheese and crust than egg, and the borekas could have had more filling. The shakshuka was very tasty and rich. The egg and cheese on a croissant had a lot of egg; the surcharge on the avocado was a lot compared to the few pieces of avocado you get. They also serve alcohol and the usual coffee and teas. Service was okay and slow, as was the speed of when we got our food and when our water was refilled. We overheard a few tables around us send back food that was burned or otherwise not up to their standards. There are two bathrooms, one of which is cramped. Street parking only and right next to the library.

What an amazing find!!!!…read more The wife kiddo and I came here recently on our trip to here for their Easter festivities. It is located on the 4th floor of Palisades Center Mall, near Target, right outside where IHOP used to be. It is a small kiosk that serves Ice Cream and Italian Ices. They have a realllllly cool Ice Cream machine that mixes powder to Vanilla as it comes out. At least I think it is a powder, it could also be a liquid... They have 12 different options, I choose Banana (My Favorite!), the guy hit some buttons on the panel, and turned the handle, and my ice cream came out yellow lol! It was kind of a swirly White and Yellow, id say about 80% yellow, and 20% white. I got it in a cup. I don't like cones anymore, too messy lol! It came in a nice little cocktail cup with a wide top and narrow bottom to avoid as much leakage as possible. It was a very soft cream, and it did not melt fast at all. All in all, a great cup! I gave a few spoonful's to my kiddo, and he loved it as well. My wife got Rainbow Ice, and she enjoyed it. It was the same Ice that you get at Pizzeria's etc. Nothing crazy special. It also came in the same cup. Both were $5 each. We seemed to start a line, because after we paid, the line was 8 people deep! When we got there, we were the only ones there lol! There is some seating nearby. All in all, a really nice addition to the mall. They need more Mom and Pop stores like this. Great Ice Cream, Great Service! Highly recommend for Dessert!
