Really cute bakery in the heart of Woodstock! We came here this morning for a little something to eat and some coffee. The avocado toast was good. The iced coffee was good too although I wish they offered cold brew. The bread on the avocado toast was a little too thick for my liking but I know some people really enjoy that. My mom had a chocolate croissant which is always tasty. We didn't want anything too filling for breakfast. Just a little snack and some coffee. This was perfect. read more

Bread Alone - Avocado Toast - Bakeries Near Me - Woodstock, New York

After learning on the spot that Daniel Leader had moved on and moved to Maine, I was very broken-hearted... at first. You see, I am a devoted Leader Customer. In my first life as a Chef in the Hudson Valley, I used to source ALL of my breads for my lunch and dinner menus from Bread Alone, and I always (ALWAYS) made it a point to buy (and study/practice) Daniel's methods for Artisanal bread making from the Master himself. He is the best! But, as you know, when the Teacher employs, educated and trusts his most cherished of recipes with future Master/Artisan Bakers, you don't always maintain a consistency that existed once upon a time... Well, there is NO DOUBT that you should trust your instincts and taste buds to ENJOY BREAD ALONE again, and again, and again! I haven't been back to Woodstock in a few years and had to learn the hard way that the Kingston location is no longer open to the public. That made me sad. So, I took the drive up to historic Woodstock hoping (and praying) that the gourmet bread (and sandwiches and delectable pastries) were still available to the masses... YES THEY ARE!! I went absolutely nuts! My fiance and I started with a smoked salmon breakfast bagel and black bean breakfast burrito: Both were absolutely AMAZING!! Then, I had to buy some baguettes and Focaccia (like old times) and opted to make our day by buying the Herb Chicken Sandwich and Halloumi & Sweet Potato Sandwiches for a day hike in the Catskills. OMG!! Our taste buds were dancing a jig and neither of us could get enough! To absolutely Anyone (Vegan, Meat-Eater, Gluten Sensitive) at absolutely any time, from absolutely anywhere in the WORLD... If you find yourself in Woodstock, Rhinebeck or Boiceville; JUST GO BUY/ENJOY/LOVE/TRUST YOUR BREAKFAST, LUNCH, BREAD & PASTRY NEEDS TO BREAD ALONE!!! Because frankly, no one compares or even comes close to this level quality. ENJOY!!! read more

Great place. Have lunch there all the time. Food is always delicious and seems healthier than eating at other places. Love the grilled cheese sandwich and their burger with side salad. Rhinebeck is a cute town to explore. Don't forget to hit the take out counter for coffee and pastries on the way out. read more

I was pleasantly surprised when we stopped at bread alone one afternoon for lunch. I looked at the menu online and honestly wasn't super enthusiastic about any of the lunch options (super rare for me!). My bf decided to get the grilled cheese which was on like a toasted sourdough bread with caramelized onions on it. I'm not a huge fan of so many onions but honestly it was really good. I decided to try the spicy tempeh breakfast burrito which was actually really good too. I didn't think there was a ton of tempeh inside it but it was super heavy on the black beans. I also didn't really see sweet potatoes in it, but it was overall pretty good. We tried the chocolate croissant too because how could you not. Delicious as expected! The service was good and the place was really nice inside. They also had outdoor seating which was nice because we had our dog with us. Overall a good experience! read more

We had the good fortune of renting an AirBnb just half-a-block away from Bread Alone. I suppose for most people, a weekend in Woodstock is best remembered by tie-die shirt stores on Tinker Street and maybe a hike up Indian Head Mountain, but for us we'll remember it with the exquisite carbs at this humble Woodstock stalwart. Our favorite purchases were the surprisingly airy bagels, best paired with their smoky roasted tomatoes and a generous dollop of butter; the fennel-topped focaccia that went with just about every spread we tried; and the slightly, but not overly, citrusy blood orange tart. And honorable mention to the oozing grilled cheese on warm sourdough. read more

A staple for this small town, it's on the main street in the midst of the small stores and restaurants. Going in, the ambiance is cozy. There is a wise selection of freshly baked bread, pastries, and even a small menu of items for breakfast and lunch. We ended up ordering the Green Egg Sandwich and the egg, cheese, and bacon sandwich, chai latte with two chocolate croissants. It was so good that we came back after shopping to pick up 4 more croissants for the road, an oatmeal cookie, and brioche for French toast. Due to COVID-19, they no longer have any indoor seating. But they do have a small outdoor area if weather permits! Everything here is very fresh and a must-have in Woodstock. read more

Food is good although quality is slipping. What I can't stand is when an employee gets down to pet and snuggle two different dogs and then proceeds to serve food without washing her hands. Very gross! read more

Went to Bread Alone as the Olive Bread was recommended. Upon getting it home, we found exactly 3 olives in the entire loaf. Soooo Disappointing ...the crust and crumb of the Bread was excellent. Bread Alone, please put in way more olives to make this bread even closely be worthy of the name "olive bread"... read more

Came here multiple times during a 4 day stay in Woodstock. Mainly due to the fact they were one of the few places open everyday and early, but also all everything is so good! The breakfast burrito was a favorite! Great vegetarian option and not too heavy as burritos can be. Throughout our time in Woodstock, we also got the BLT, Peruvian chicken, club and green egg sandwich for our hikes and car rides. The bread is seriously so fresh and makes all the difference for taking the sandwiches to the next level. Pastries are also delicious! Wouldn't hesitate to go back and try everything on the menu. read more

A cute little spot that I didn't expect to have multiple locations, but they do! Got the Spicy Tempeh which is a grilled eggplant veggie sandwich which was good! The aioli in it gave it enough flavor to wrap the sandwich together! Without it, might have been a little bland--which was what I thought about the breakfast burrito. It is a vegetarian burrito, so we were asking for it; but my carnivorous palette still craved more flavor. The presentation of all the food was so attractive though. The grill marks just looked photoshopped; so if you want an Instagrammable place to eat; this is the joint! Recommended. read more

Following COVID regulations and only allowing 1 customer inside at a time so there was a line outside every time I walked by, but I wanted to review Bread Alone for their bread loafs. Super cute little bakery in a bustling part of Woodstock. I did not personally purchase any, but my Airbnb host provided breads from this bakery every morning. It was the best part of my morning and woke up looking forward to having bread with PB&J. I tried the 9 Mixed Grain, Ciabatta, and 12 Grain and Seed which were all super fresh and delicious! Their bread is so good! I definitely want to come back to try their pastries and sandwiches! My airbnb host said the croissants are also amazing! read more

Lovely spot for breakfast and brunch. They have a nice outdoor area you can eat after picking up your food inside. The croissant was a delight, soft and buttery and dense. The avocado toast has a colorful array of tomatoes and the spices and lemony flavors on top of the avocado are wonderful, a step up from your usual. The iced coffee is strong and nice. The loaves of bread are a great to grab to-go. We enjoyed slowly eating the olive bread throughout the day. read more

5 stars for the iced coffee I really needed on a hot day and the impulse cookie purchase. I stopped in this past Saturday (so COVID regulations still in full swing) and was very happy to read on their door they were only allowing one customer in at a time. There was no line and I only waited a few minutes but it was great to not have to shuffle around other customers. The iced coffee was strong and just what I needed to cool down. We picked up a pack of their chocolate chip cookies to take with us on our hike (cookies are hiking snacks, right?) and a friend dubbed them "possibly the best cookie ever" and I don't think that is a small feat. Get the cookies!!! The staff was super friendly and patient as we perused the sweets and I left with a caffeine boost. What more can you ask for?? I'm not from the area but will definitley remember this cute little shop next time I come up! read more

Skip the potato leek soup. Thin tasteless gruel. If I didn't see a few dark flecks, I wouldn't have known there were any leeks.

Food was very good, we all enjoyed our egg sandwich except for one in our group. He ordered sausage on his and they gave him bacon and then argued he couldn't have ordered sausage because they don't carry it... but it's in the menu? Hmmmm. read more

The service and food was excellent....the coffee was the best I'd had in a very long time. The manager was also very friendly and helpful...I will highly recommend Bread Alone, Woodstock to all my family and friends read more

The pastries, the croissants and the coffee... all excellent The staff?? Not All employees were rude and had an attitude except one girl who wore hoop earrings who was friendly and aimed to please. I ordered a sandwich and they got it wrong twice handing me someone else's order. They were angry at me the customer. Unbelievable. The girl in the hoop earrings made it right. I spent $29 for grief Sounds unreal Why??!! You are in the hospitality business so be nice and if you cannot then this isn't the business for you Doesn't cost anything to be nice Change you, change the world read more

Good coffee and a GREAT breakfast burrito with chorizo. Avocado toast was also delicious. Gets busy but moves fast. read more

I'm not one who fiends for carbs first thing in the morning, but just thinking about the everything bagel with vegan cream cheese as I sip my typical cup of espresso avec nothing at 9 am has me reconsidering my stance. My friends and I walked in at crazy o'clock on a recent Saturday morning and the line was considerable but the counter folks are pros and before we knew it, we were next. I admit to being momentarily bedazzled by all the baked goods, but once my eyes landed on a bagel, I knew it was over. There's plenty of other options, vegan goodness as well, but my eyes were for bagels alone (heh). And the perfect oat milk cappuccino. Bread Alone, you've ruined me! read more

Very well ran given the new guidelines and restrictions. Came here for breakfast and for the salmon on everything. Best salmon sandwich I've ever had! Vanilla soy latte was delicious too! read more

We got breakfast here one morning, take out. It was yummy. Woodstock needs more breakfast places! Seriously this is I think the only place in town open before 9 am! Luckily we found this delicious place cuz we were starving. Does everyone sleep in? Lol. read more

Stopped by after hiking in the Catskills and we were all starving. Grateful there was a good amount of seating in the back and a bathroom. I wanted to like this more but it was kind of a hit or miss. The breakfast burritos were solid and a good deal for $8. The wraps were some kind of wheat tortilla so it was like a healthy burrito. The haloumi sandwich was a little too sweet with all the sweet potato. The pastries looked so yummy in the display but the morning roll was kind of hard and the chocolate loaf and lemon poppy seed loaf didn't have much flavor. But the chocolate chip cookie was good! read more

The rudest staff. I witnessed them belittle a woman who was not wearing a mask. They all ganged up on her. We own a business close by and send our staff in there a lot to support local. But they have taken this covid nonsense to another level. No one is allowed to sit down. No one can enter w/o a mask. The staff is extremely rude. They almost enjoy yelling at people. Where is the unconditional love that was meant when Dan and Sharon started this? If stadiums can have people jammed in next to each other in NY, why can't you let people sit down and enter without a mask? read more

We stopped by Bread Alone on a Sunday morning nice and early- about 7:30 am. This is one of the more popular spots in Woodstock, so I have heard the lines get pretty long. Even being there so early, there were a few people in line ahead of us. We went with a blueberry muffin and an almond croissant, along with an almond milk latte and a coffee. Their baked goods all looked incredible so it was so hard to narrow it down to just two items! The blueberry muffin was so fresh and super delicious and a very generous size. The almond croissant was also very good. I was very surprised with how amazing the coffee was. For a bakery, I assumed their coffee would just be so-so, but it was way better than that. This was the best latte I had in all of Woodstock- I was super impressed. The customer service was outstanding as well. Would love to come back if I find myself back in Woodstock! read more

Memorial Day, 10am place is packed, line to the door... Bread Alone operates like a well-oiled machine! They're patient and conversational, but very efficient. Don't be afraid of the line. Iced cappuccino with oat milk was fantastic. (Egg and cheese was just okay, would try something else.) read more

Stale yesterday's pastries, watered down coffee, or light brown water. Is it that hard to add an extra scoop of coffee????

What a wonderful find. Everything we tried here was amazing but the vegan spelt chocolate pound cake was the best chocolate pound cake I've ever had. Would request as my birthday cake I loved it so much! The fruit and nut sourdough was also surprisingly my favorite bread we tried! read more

I've had my eye on Bread Alone in Woodstock, NY for a while and was so happy to be able to stop in after visiting the beautiful Peekamoose Blue Hole! Their baked goods are so well-made, especially their breads. My SIL had a super fresh green salad with their freshly baked bread. My Turkey and Asparagus Sandwich with Gruyere and Lemon Aioli was a-ma-zing. I kept saying to everyone at my table that it was the most incredible turkey sandwich I'd ever eaten. From the fresh products to the addicting, creamy sauce, I now know to pair asparagus with turkey and cheese for a killer sandwich. Finally, we all had to sample their croissants, which were buttery and a generous size. Delish when paired with their robust but still smooth iced coffee. The staff was lovely and the food came out quickly. I know I said "fresh" about a million times, but the food really is stellar in terms of it being so crisp and healthy feeling. If you find yourself in the Woodstock area and are craving fresh, delightful food, stop by Bread Alone! read more

Nice little bakery in Woodstock. Good selection of house made pastries. I had the fruit tart which was perfect with my afternoon coffee. We saw bags of salted chocolate rugalech which I will get the next time. They had a safe flow to the store (enter from front and exit in the back). Smart idea during pandemic! read more

Good coffee, good pastries, great breakfast sandwiches. Great staff! Nice patio on a sunny day.

Always loved Bread Alone, which is basically local Panera (and so much better). I believe they've expanded the building here since I visited last, and there's a whole ton of seating in the back now. Loved the almond cake and breakfast sandwiches that I tried. Service is great and everyone is very friendly. Definitely one of the best cafes in the area! read more

Always good. Pleasant folks behind the counter and the food is always on point. I always go in for the Soups and I Love the Coffee.

If you're in the desert can you survive on just Bread Alone? In my case, I was in the woods. After a few days of no coffee, I was going out of my mind. I go into the town of Woodstock and see: "Bread Alone" We walk in, is that Culture Coffee bags?? Nice BA. I see many different breads and baked goods. Cranberry-Pecan loafs, Brioche, Sourdough, all quality and more importantly organic breads. I read the bio on the owner. He was trained in Paris on their bread making technique and brought those skills to the Catskills region. I live in Long Island, I wish I had a place like Bread Alone close to me. With these 3 star reviews, shuddup! I ordered a fresh brewed coffee and had a cookie. Amazing! Living in the woods is rough. Bread Alone in the town of Woodstock is like an oasis. Well I came upon a child of God, He was walkin' along the road and I asked him: "Tell me where are you going?" He said: "Bread Alone" read more
