Not your usual diner coffee. I noticed these old photos along the windows. I asked about it, and learned this was the previous site of an amusement park, so a bit of interesting history as it ties to the local upstate parks from the 50's to late 70's. Check it out!

From breakfast sandwiches to subs for lunch, 100/10 every time. The store itself is really cute and inviting. There is the deli on the first level, sporting goods on the bottom level and on the top level a little gift shop with great options for clothing and hiking apparel. Staff is always very friendly. This place has that ADK charm you hope to find.

For the outdoors enthusiast, Crossroads is the place to go in the area. Large selection of hunting,…read morefishing, hiking, and camping equipment. I was very happy to see a section in the fishing area devoted to Hinckley spoons, including the renowned 88's which, to me, are the best lures for attracting lake trout. Crossroads also sells live bait. Their worms have more squirm, and their shiners are finer. Prices reasonable. A smallish breakfast area, but their sandwiches are eggggcellent. Even gas prices, considering Crossroads is a bit off the beaten path, are comparable to the Stewart's on rte 8. And my friend, Locomotive Breath, who never passes up an opportunity to patronize a bathroom, says the men's room is clean and the "bathroom tissue" (toilet paper) is 2-ply! We always visit Crossroads when in the area. Highly recommend! 5 stars!

From the cultural cooking to the amazing people, Frontier Town Gateway is a place worth visiting. To top it all, the owner, Ahmed is such a warm person and made us feel at home.

After a slight mix-up with our order, Maria and her staff immediately remedied things. We ordered egg, cheese, and bacon on croissants and The Breakfast Sandwich.

In the warm weather, the outdoor eating area is lovely.

Capisce Coffee & Espresso Bar: A Lake Placid Essential…read more If you're looking for a coffee experience that matches the beauty of the Adirondacks, Capisce Coffee & Espresso Bar is a must-visit. From the welcoming "a place upstate" Adirondack chair out front to the cozy, shingle-sided exterior, this spot perfectly captures that rustic, high-peaks aesthetic. But it's the quality of the brew that truly sets it apart. The Espresso The espresso at Capisce is a masterclass in balance. It's rich and full-bodied with a velvety crema that hints at the care put into every pull. You won't find any bitterness here--just a smooth, complex shot that serves as the perfect foundation for their signature drinks. The Lattes Whether you need to warm up after a chilly morning at the lake or cool down after a mountain bike ride, their lattes are top-tier: Hot Lattes: The milk is steamed to a perfect micro-foam consistency--silky, sweet, and light. It blends beautifully with the espresso, creating a comforting drink that feels as artisanal as the surroundings. Iced Lattes: These are exceptionally refreshing. They manage to keep the espresso flavor front and center without letting the milk or ice wash it out. It's the ideal companion for a sunny afternoon on the patio. The Atmosphere There is something uniquely relaxing about grabbing a drink and sitting among the trees and rocks outside this cabin-style shop. It's clearly a favorite for locals and travelers alike, and for good reason--the "upstate" vibe is genuine, and the coffee is world-class. The service is full of happiness. Final Verdict: If you are in the Lake Placid area and take your caffeine seriously, Capisce is the place to be.
