It's important to have one things if you consider yourself a cafe or coffee shop. Good coffee. They not have good coffee, it's great as well as the staff that is there. The baked goods smelled like heaven and tasted just as such. But the coffee was the show stealer. read more

First time here and it was amazing ! Fresh bread pastries cookies! Live band was playing music while I was there. They accept Apple Pay and tap to pay. Cashier was super sweet and helpful read more

The semolina here is just as good as in the city! Delicious! Light, crispy, and a nice yellow color inside! Bela!

Used to go here all of the time. It's horrible now. Nothing tastes the same. I don't know what they did but they need to undo it.

Nice place to pop in for good coffee and dessert. Lots of tables if you need to do a meeting. In my case, they were friendly about it and I made sure to keep my voice low, which they seemed to appreciate. read more

The service was good and the food was yummy. We enjoyed eating coffee and breakfast so much we ordered a handful of pastries to go. read more

Delightful bakery. They made a custom message on a delicious chocolate for a friend's birthday. This spot is solid.

Stopped here after staying at the casino. Pastry was on point. canolli was good, sfogtielle was excellent. I will be stopping here more often. read more

Delicious pastries and cakes and breads. Italian old school style. Very friendly staff and quick service.

It's great spot to get fresh doughnuts. We also went to their other location in Middletown the next day! I thought the Monticello location had more choices and served them flat in a large box. The Middletown location stacked them with paper in between them. I didn't like that because the frosting got messed up. Other than that, both locations had delicious and fresh doughnuts! All my pictures are from the Monticello location. read more

We went in for breakfast sandwiches and bagels. The bagel was probably the best we've ever had! Soft on the inside and seasonings perfectly crusted to the outside. The treats smelled delicious but we were too stuffed to eat them. Definitely recommend a trip in there! read more

Stopped here after spending the night at Resorts World Catskills - about an 8-minute drive. Husband had coffee with the veggie omlet with hash browns & loved it, I had cappuchino, sfogliatelle and half a danish. They have almond milk & oat milk. Pastries were great & we left with loaves of fresh bread & fresh homemade donuts! Perfect place for breakfast but I did wish that they had fruit on the menu. read more

Always stop here as we pass through Monticello. All of the baked goods are amazing but THE DONUTS are amazing. It's why we first went there and they never disappoint. They also have excellent sandwiches, the Cuban panini being my favorite, and now they're a regular place for us to grab lunch. But THE DONUTS!!! read more

So went here many years ago the quality on a Saturday afternoon was not so good. I'll give them another opportunity in the future and I hope they don't disappoint me again with substandard product. Went back again and it was a little better. It needs consistency overall. read more

If you are like us, looking for a nice cup of coffee and some biscotti, right off 17 in the nearly abandoned town of Monticello, this is your place. Welcoming street front patio with a nice cushioned banquette, and plenty on cozy indoor seating with a communal farm table. Really good coffee, Lee says his Americano is Excellent. The perfect stop if in the area. There is a full menu of eggs/salads/sandwiches and pastries as well. We loved the little biscotti with our coffee. read more

From the moment you walk through the door, the aromas are soooo good! Smiling faces greet you and the staff know their stuff and can help you select just the right goodies for yourself, family, friends, etc. I have found that a dozen small cannoli is the perfect thank you gift. Everyone lights up when you walk into a room with a box from this bakery! Breakfast and lunch with friends is a treat. Comfortable seating and a nicely decorated area. Prices are very reasonable. My latest purchase was a special order rum cake. First time we had one of these from this bakery and OH BOY, our new GO TO cake for any celebration or just to have a truly special dessert. This is the BEST rum cake we ever had, but we expected nothing less from Carmella and her crew! Give DeFilippis a try, you will not be disappointed and you'll most likely become a regular customer. This review is looking pretty epic! Nice read more

Been coming here for years when visiting our Catskills home in White Lake. It never disappoints. Great service with friendly staff.

Stopped by here for breakfast on a Monday morning. We were there along with one other customer. I ordered the challah french toast with fruit. All they had was bananas, which was fine. My boyfriend had a delicious ham, egg and cheese sandwich. The coffee was delicious and the cream came in this cute glass vintage bottle. I would've given five stars, if our waitress, Theresa, was a little more friendly. It just seemed like we were bugging her every time we needed anything. I did meet the owner, Carmela, when I went up to pay and she was just a darling. We'll be back for sure, as we want to try some of their delicious looking baked goods. read more

Enjoyed a delicious breakfast: sandwiches, omelettes, chocolate chip pancakes, challah bread French toast...continue? Great service, espresso machine and plenty of seating. read more

We had the misfortune of stopping at this place while getting gas on a 5 Hour road trip to Letchworth state park. We ordered two sandwiches and a black coffee which took almost 30 minutes to get just the coffee. We wasted about 45 minutes on a very long ride because we made the poor choice to come to this establishment. It did not seem like anyone working there had any sense of urgency whatsoever. If you have an entire afternoon to burn, perhaps you should stop by. If time has some inherent value to you, I would stay away and run in the other direction. Ruuuuun! read more

DeFilippis never disappoints! It has become a necessary stop at least one time while on our annual trip to Callicoon. The baked goods are outstanding and always fresh. The people are super nice! Highly highly recommend! read more

DeFilippis Bakery and Cafe - a variety of pastries - Bakeries Near Me - Monticello, New York

This spot is a gem! We had breakfast sandwiches on hard rolls, perfectly done. Their espresso was spot on as well, even had the cinnamon! The pastries were so fresh - hamentashen, donuts, and neopolitan all to die for. We will return when in the area again!! read more

I give the donuts 5 out of 5 but the service is sad. Literally the staff looks sad, and it made me and my family feel like we are an inconvenience. It was like fishing for words to find out what a donut had on the inside. Perhaps they are more friendlier to local folks. Definitely a take out environment, since walking in happy results in walking out depressed. Just smile people - it won't hurt, try it! read more

Small towns often have hidden gems. The DeFilippis Bakery and Cafe' is such a find. We Yelp-ed breakfast last weekend looking for a fast snack before heading for work at the Monticello Motor Club. I had an egg and cheese sandwich with a side of cheese danish and it was wonderful - good bread, piping hot and seasoned well. We spoke to the lovely owner, Carmella, while our orders were being cooked and she impressed us with her passion for the business and how she felt about being a part of a small town's economy. Overall, we were very impressed with the place and the food. Our order was to go but there are tables in and outside with a view of the wide main street. Recommended read more

The owner screams at her employees In front of the customers!! And when I order a spread of mini pastries for a party (wedding) they delivered white sheet cake with icing on top and I call her and said that is not what I order that I specifically went there and told her what I needed she said o well that's what you got... and hang up!! Terrible attitude that woman has! read more

Absolutely amazing bakery. We're staying at Kartrite and wanted better food options and they did not disappoint. Bagels, breakfast sandwiches, doughnuts and pastries were all too notch and prices were very reasonable which given the quality was a major surprise! read more

A real Italian bakery, everything is delicious from the donuts to Italian pastry to the cakes and breads. The best jelly donuts I have had in Years. They have a nice breakfast and lunch menu. The food is very good. The birthday cakes are wonderful. If you like real baked goods you must stop in read more

Okay so I will start out by saying we ate so much we could barely move the rest of the day! Having said that, this is a great spot if you're hungry for a big lunch or breakfast. The Reuben burger was delicious, so juicy and full of flavor, and send with perfectly searching french fries. Donuts deserve an entirely separate mention! They are baked fresh daily and boast that perfect fluffy texture while still maintaining a yeasty, chewy bite, but without feeling heavy! There were so many varieties to choose from, something to please every palate. We tried cookies and cream, rainbow sprinkles, and my personal favorite, cannolli cream. It was absolutely to die for, even though we totally did not need that huge donut AFTER lunch! So this would be a great spot to just enjoy a donut or a pastry with their very delicious coffee. If we're ever back in the area, we're definitely getting half a dozen of those beauties to go! read more

Don't get the chocolate birthday cake, dry cake and gritty frosting,shoprite would have been way better and cheaper!

I'm ashamed to say that I've been a resident of Sullivan County, NY since 1990, and I only got to this iconic bakery two months ago... But I'm glad I finally did! There's a lot of hype about out there about how good it is. I'm glad to say the hype is true. This morning, my wife Kim Simons--winner on Food Network's "Holiday Wars" (yeah, I'm name dropping)--ordered her standard "cook-it-to-death" omelette...and they actually did it! She was thrilled.... And my breakfast? Perfect! Scrambled eggs, apple-smoked bacon, delicious hash browns, and site-baked rye toast... Plus, we were there for their weekly Open Mic (Sundays at 11 AM), and the talent was above average. An added plus? The owner--Carmela--is always on site. In short? Highly recommended! read more

I gave this place a hard time in the past, I'll admit it. But I've been to the bakery and café since then. The inside is all redone nicely, clean, the outdoor seating is nice, and the baked goods are delicious. I plan to keep coming back. read more
