Top tier all around! Everything is fresh and so delicious. Lovely spot in town and a 10/10 everytime. Caring, kind and local!

Worst breakfast sandwich of my life, it was also not what I ordered. Go across the street to Stewart's for better food at half the price

LOVE this sweet cafe. The breakfast burrito is my favorite, great coffee- sweet staff, and all around lovely vibe. The baked goods are also yummm read more

I stopped into Babette's this morning to grab a quick breakfast before I went for a walk In Millbrook's lovely tribute Park. It seems like a regular spot for locals as staff seemed quite familiar with many of their customers. Their avocado toast was top notch... Perfectly ripe avocado on multi grain bread with sprouts and tomato. Coffee was excellent. They have indoor and outdoor seating. And a large menu to choose from. read more

Babette's Kitchen - Avocado toast... loved the fresh ingredients and nice presentation - Bakeries Near Me - Millbrook, New York

Hands down the best breakfast and lunch in Millbrook! I recently came here for breakfast and was delighted with the fine taste of my breakfast; simple scrambled eggs done just so on whole grain toast and a blueberry muffins to go. This is a fine eating place where everything is cooked to order. It is a small space with a few tables- but early on a weekday morning. There was no problem getting served. The locals know that it is indeed a hidden gem. Would return here even if it meant driving out of my way! As an aside-the crowd of millbrook is well-heeled and sophisticated and they know about quality food. This is a small town with a very quaint but elegant feel ! Some of the other towns in the county are more crowded and have an industrial , forgone feel. read more

Nestled within the heart of Millbrook, Babettes is everything you could want in a neighborhood cafe. Their breakfast options are numerous, from light to hearty. The same is true for their lunch menu, with ever-changing specials. No matter whether you come in during the morning or afternoon, you are not leaving without one of their excellent pastries. If you are in Millbrook during the day, it would be a real missed opportunity if you did not visit. read more

This is my daily go-to. The ambience is lovely and the food, both what's freshly prepared and the pre-prepared items to take home, and the service, are fantastic. Highly recommend. read more

Sept 2022, came here with friends after visiting the Orvis Game Fair. What a cute town. Babette's sandwich was DELICIOUS. The inside of Babette's was small with a nice amount of tables. However, we decided to sit outside since it was such a beautiful day. I shared the Turkey BLT with my friend. The beacon on the sandwich was crispy and the Turkey and lettuce was fresh. The sandwich was DELICIOUS. However, they did forget to put the pickle on the side. If we are ever in the town again we will definitely stop in for a quick bite. read more

Well, for starters I will apologize for not posting photos. I was with a hungry crowd at peek lunchtime on a Sunday. I am not from the area and spent the morning taking grandchild to Trevor Zoo, it was a 1hour 25 minute trip and I will return sans grandchild and zoo to enjoy this wonderful place. Heirloom tomato, turkey BLT, Brie with turkey sandwiches were otherworldly and the 3 year old practically inhaled his BBQ chicken quesadilla! Everything prepared with freshest local ingredients with incredible attention to detail for maximum flavor. Totally worth any weight and/or road-trip read more

Popped in today and ordered the Brie,cranberry, arugula melt (I added Turkey) to go. I have to tell you something. It's HOURS LATER and I'm literally still thinking of that sandwich. Absolutely HEAVENLY!! Perfection. Reasonably priced and super sweet staff as well. Clean and happy place. Go! You will NOT be disappointed! read more

My favorite stop in Millbrook NY on Franklin Avenue. The best sandwiches and Chai Latte. Yum!

First time visit to Babette and really enjoyed it. The turkey Reuben was excellent... beautifully browned and a great balance of the ingredients ... generous, actually enough for 2 people but finished it because it was so delicious! Did I mention the pie? The dessert selection is huge but I kept looking at the strawberry rhubarb blueberry cherry pie that just came out of the oven! Sadly, single pieces are not offered, but I took a chance and brought the pie home. This is one of the the best pies I've had in my 68 years on the planet! NOT TOO SWEET and a flakey, perfectly browned crust...even on the bottom; my partner and I had it for dessert last night, and with coffee just now again after breakfast, slightly warmed in the toaster oven!!! Did we eat almost half a pie? The wait staff were wonderful and accommodating and said that the pie freezes well.... pretty sureI I won't be finding out if that's accurate!!! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy Babette's as much as I did!! read more

A lovely little place set in the heart of Millbrook New York right on Main Street. Quaint and cute. Perfect for fresh scones and muffins, sandwiches and breakfast and of course delicious coffee. Very friendly staff and quick service. If you're passing through you must stop bye. I had an egg and bacon and cheese on a baguette bread, delicious. Also ordered the French toast and my friend said it was delicious. I had a fresh bake blueberry scone crispy and fresh read more

Hands down best quinoa salad I've ever had. We needed a quick bite before our winery tour and the hotel guide suggested Babette's on a long list of cafés with outdoor seating. On the outside, it looks like any standard coffee shop / café, but the food was definitely a step up. The bf and I split a smoked salmon BLT and sides of quinoa salad and mac & cheese. The sandwich was fairly standard: bacon was crispy without being too crunchy. The salmon had enough body and smokiness that added a layer of complexity to the American favorite. The sandwich as a whole was a little thinner than I would've liked, but it was of good quality. The mac and cheese was disappointing. We appreciate the fact that it was made with real cheese, but the portion was underwhelming for the price. The quinoa was the complete opposite, so fresh, perfect textures, and we could not get enough of it. The kale was prepared properly (massaged) and it was nicely dressed: red wine vinegar was the only ingredient I could get out of the cook. We sampled their cookies too. We still don't know what is in the signature, but it was chewy, sweet, ad a great finish to the meal. The lemon cookie had a lot of zest, so if you're not a fan of that, be wary. The double chocolate was my least favorite of the three, but it still held its own. I would've liked a few more chocolate chips though. All in all, Babette's is great if you want high-quality, casual cafe food. Make sure to grab the table outside for a nice meal in the quiet village. read more

August 27th severe tornado warnings with Millbrook at the center began posting on emergency services everywhere - advised drivers to pull over immediately and take shelter, preferably in a basement. We dashed out of our car in the pouring rain to ask for help and shelter. The two girls said they were closing & told us to go to Stewarts across the street. read more

Fresh made everything! I've had yummy everything every time I've popped in. Tuna Sandwich was good but the Pickle tickled my heart. ;D The bonus was after having bought cheese from the Farmer's market, they sold me a frozen baguette to bake at home. ~super easy. & great Iced Coffee! read more

We stumbled upon Babette's kitchen yesterday. My husband ordered a breakfast sandwich on a biscuit, I had a vegetarian hash breakfast with a biscuit. The biscuits are to die for - melt in your mouth, everything a biscuit should be. The food was delivious !! The staff was friendly. Highly recommend this spot, we look forward to going back next time we are in the area! read more

Millbrook is so happy to have Babette's back open after a brief COVID-19 closing. In addition to the menu, they are also offering special menus twice a week where you can order prepared foods ahead of time and pick up on specific days. I am vegetarian and Babette's has lots of vegetarian and vegan options. They use incredibly fresh and often organic ingredients. I must say that for breakfast, their Scrambled Eggs cannot be beat! They are so fluffy and flavorful with buttery deliciousness. For lunch, the veggie burger is my go-to must-have. From the prepared foods, I have to mention the Seasonal Pasta Salad. I'm not even a pasta salad fan but this is the best I've ever had. The last one I got had fresh asparagus, peas and shiitake mushrooms tossed with a super light lemon & olive oil dressing. Another great dish I loved was the Garlicky Kale and Broccoli. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked to al dente perfection. They're also known for their baked goods so be sure to pick some up. The Peach Blueberry Crisp is always a fav. Be sure to stop by or order ahead from Babette's when you're in Millbrook! read more

Quaint little place with extremely pleasant staff and most important excellent food. I visit Babette's Kitchen often. If you have not then you are missing out on something special! read more

Just had one of the best but's of my life. Seeded tomatoes, lettuce without hard spine, so much bacon and a perfect light gold on the toast. I'd show a picture but was moved to write this review only after gobbling it down. Half is enough for a regular appetite. I shared mine read more

There's not much choice for casual eating out in Millbrook, but it's a pretty cute place and a decent choice for food. The atmosphere is nice and and the people working there are very friendly. The prices are surprisingly steep for the portions they give you and the location. I'd expect this sort of thing in Manhattan, but not a little village in upstate New York. I ordered the Veggie Wrap ($9.50), which was a decent size, but my boyfriend got the meatloaf ($7) and it could easily have fit in his hand. Their mac'n'cheese ($6) was good, but swimming in oil. Overall, it's cute but pricey. read more

Was there last Sunday, had a salad with a quiche - delicious! Salad was extra crispy, fresh and with perfect vinegar dressing. Tasty and fresh. Iced coffee was very nice too. I liked the place and the decor. I will definitely include this place as a "food destination" when we will be around that area. read more

Babette's is a five star place when it comes to food -- it's delicious. Always. But their incredibly overpriced coffee is beyond poor. The three stars I gave them is kind of a combo of the two extremes. It's sad, really, because they could do so much better with their coffee if they tried even a little. If you are a coffee snob (and if you are not, you're lucky because you'll be fine with any coffee) -- in other words you want your coffee fresh roasted and brewed carefully, don't order any coffee drink at Babette's. They use pre-packaged pods of espresso--God knows where or when it was roasted and ground-- and their regular brewed coffee has poor flavor and is weak. I am a fan of an occasional afternoon latte. I like the strong coffee taste inside the creamy microfoam of well steamed milk. At Babette's no one seems to have been trained to use the machine, and they use the steamer to merely heat up milk and mix it with the not-so-good espresso. And they charge more than anyone else in the region, or New York. So my advice -- stop off for an incredible lunch or breakfast. You'll pay through the nose but it WILL taste amazing. Drink water (served in very small plastic cups, unfortunately) or iced tea. Skip the coffee. read more

Overpriced. Great lox. Fairly slow service.

The food was quite good. What put us off was being hustled out of there impolitely when we had just been served our (first) cup of coffee after a brunch. Were there about 45 minutes, max and our coffees were still steaming when hostess approached us and said that they really needed the table and could we please go? Daughter was in bathroom at the time and, again, we had not lingered at all. Coffee was still hot. Kind of the opposite of what you want when you think weekend brunch. "Eat up and beat it already, will ya?" read more

So my bf had to take the driver's test and the only place we could schedule it was Millbrook. We stopped in a Babette's for a morning coffee and muffin...my consolation prize for having to take a day off from work to take my 30-something bf to the DMV. I was surprised that Babette's had such a great on-trend menu...generally a rarity outside of metro areas. The service was super friendly. My coffee was tasty, not overly acidic or too strong; a perfect medium body. The muffin was delicious, it was a coffee cake muffin...I've always wanted coffee cake in muffin form! It's too bad the bf passed the driver's test because I would love to go back to try the lunch menu! read more

This place is very cute! We had the Tuna Melt and the Smoked Salmon BLT. The service was fast and it was delicious. There's plenty of options from salads to sandwiches. We also got cookies and the raspberry bear claws to go. They were also great. Perfect place to stop in for lunch! read more

a particular favorite of ours. We go for breakfast brunch, but you can't go wrong with prepared take away dishes either - meatloaf and chicken pot pie, salads, etc. Everything is really fresh and, it's easy to see (and taste!), prepared with care and love. Staff is super friendly. Great coffee and espresso (I usually go with the red eye). I also get the egg, cheese, and sausage or bacon biscuit - homemade biscuits! Plus fresh OJ, croissants, and all kinds of great sweet treats. Gotta go! read more

My favorite spot for a chai latte mid morning or for turkey chili or the amazing BLT for lunch. A must visit if you are in Millbrook.

Have eaten at Babettes Kitchen several times. The food is fresh, and innovative. Great coffee. Staff is friendly and very helpful. My wife and I were taking pictures of each other and one of the staff spontaneously offered to take a picture of us. Best breakfast lunch in Millbrook. read more

Lots of charm to this cafe...my bf's corned beef sandwich was flavorful and good. My choice was the soup/half sandwich combo--almost 10 bucks...butternut squash soup--made w/rather a heavy hand with the ginger. The 1/2 tuna salad sandwich was bland, seemed like it was scooped out of the can and onto the bread. With the cappuccino--I had to add cream to tone down the super strong taste of the coffee--it was $14! Charm w/o the substance to back it up, I'm sorry to say. read more

Okay, I admit this place is super-cute and the owners are really friendly but being a college student on a budget keeps me away. The coffee is good but nothing you can't make at home for a fraction of the cost and the food is pretty overrated but I can appreciate that the it is fresh and not processed . Millbrook's small businesses come and go quickly so that's a good reason for me to pop in there for lunch or a cup of coffee every so often but that's about it. read more

Had lunch there on Saturday after biking the Duchess Rail Trail--veggie burgers and potato salad with an Arnold Palmer. Everything was excellent. We were really happy with our meal. And we bought a loaf of the banana coconut blueberry bread to take home; it's outstanding. I look forward to going back. read more

Great people and atmosphere however the food is too pricey. I get that it's Millbrook but it's not Manhattan. $12 for a tomato and mozzarella salad is just ridiculous and it didn't even taste good. It tasted sweet as if sugar was added. Very disappointed in this place. read more

When I die​, I want to be buried in a vat of Babette's lemon tart filling. So lemony. So luxuriously​ creamy. Not that yellow-flavored gelatinous goo that so often masquerades as a lemon tart. read more
