The baker is the BEST!…read more I've now ordered two different times from Maria, The Baker, in Glens Falls, NY. Truly incredible, special, delicious and a treat. Ordered a peppermint patty birthday cake for my mother and it really wow'd the entire family. It was a sight to see, so beautiful and elegant, and the taste, texture and flavor was equally amazing and top notch. Delicious. A few months later, I ordered the peanut butter patties and peppermint patties the Baker features during the holidays - wow! So delicious and beautiful. I highly recommend and will be ordering again!

They don't like for you to wait inside so we were firmly directed outside where some of us found Adirondack chairs to sit in. Good thing we were the only ones waiting. After about 20 minutes we were seated at a table near the candy case. A seat of temptation if ever there was one. Tried the Wurst Sampler and the wursts were good, especially the knockwurst. The sauerkraut and mustard went well with them. The side of potatoes were ok. I didn't detect much bacon and onion influence on their taste. Maybe I was just overwhelmed with the flavor of the wursts. Service once we were seated was excellent. We did not resist the candy case temptation and took home a selection for later. They were quite good, especially the ones with dark chocolate.

I don't believe it's changed much since my first visit here some 15 years ago - same wall and floor decor. The draws here are their confections, their breads, and their homemade soups. I've had some problems with service being a bit inconsistent (such as today's visit), but the quality of the food here will keep me coming back. Today 2 of us came in for lunch, and we each ordered the soup-and-half-a-sandwich deal. The soups change daily and are given to you hand-written on a piece of scrap paper. Today they got our order only 50% right. My soup, a broccoli, spinach, leek soup was delicious, with a rich stock. The other soup was a bowl of something not ordered, but we kept it anyway. It was also delicious, just not what we ordered. For the half-sandwich, it was my turn. I ordered a turkey sandwich - there are 2 of them on the menu, and the waitress even double checked to make sure she put in the right one. I ordered the one on whole wheat bread, but I got the other one, which came out on a flaky croissant. Again, it was delicious, just not what I ordered. I wasn't going to order dessert, but I tried to succumb when I saw that besides their homemade confections, they also serve chocolate cheesecake made by the nuns at New Skete, topped with their own homemade raspberry sauce. Yet another disappointment, they were out of it. So today's overall visit was not up to par, though the food (even if they didn't get it quite right), was.

He said they had a shed next to the small industrial bakery with self service and an honor system for paying cash only. So I stopped in this afternoon and found this little gem of a place that I'm surely coming back to. They have 6 different biscotti flavors to choose from and bins with bags of around 5 biscottis each. It's currently $5 per bag, cash only, that you leave in a slot between the bins. The biscotti's are delicious....at least the 4 of the 6 I bought and tried, but no reason to think the other two aren't as well.

We went on Travers Saturday morning. While I'm local, the town that weekend is not. It was rockin'…read morebut the long line moved very quickly. We got a couple pastries (choc croissant, bear claw, and coffee roll), the Pork Roll Egg n Cheese on a croissant and a bagel. The pastries are outstanding. The PREC was great and the best I've had outside of Jersey. My son liked the bagel. We didn't get drinks which looked great but definitely was making the wait time longer. Our food came out fast. The prices are outstandingly high. So not an every weekend kind of spot, but a once in a while treat. It was beautiful inside, with the doors open and breeze blowing in. Saratoga is best late August through Early October. But I'm sure it's also great when it's 10 below outside and cozy inside.

We also tried a bagel and a bagel sandwich, but unfortunately we didn't enjoy either of them and couldn't finish them. The main reason I came, though, was for the croissants. We ordered the plain, the banana hazelnut, and the spinach & feta croissants, and they were all delicious. The spinach & feta croissant completely won us over--it was everyone's favorite. I absolutely loved the banana hazelnut one as well. In fact, I ended up ordering extra of both to take home! My son also had the blueberry muffin. It was good, but I've had similar blueberry muffins at many other cafés. The atmosphere is wonderful. It's such a cozy place to sit with a coffee and catch up with friends or spend quality time with your family. We stopped by after my son's rehearsal, and we all had a great time. We'll definitely be back!
