These are VEGAN donuts, however you could've fooled me!…read more My husband wanted to give this place a try while we were here for the weekend and I'm glad he did his research! They are crazy popular, so there was already a line outside when we arrive 5 minutes before opening on a sunny summer Sunday morning. Wow! That's always a good sign. We waited in line for about 25 minutes total, which wasn't terrible. They have sooo many choices, and we ended up choosing the Strawberry Crumb Cake and the Old Fashioned Chocolate Crumb. The Strawberry one was fluffy and had a jam filling, which was deliciously fruity. The chocolate one was absolutely incredible!! It was a classic "cake donut", meaning that it was super dense in texture. It reminded me of a brownie, however not too overwhelming chocolatey. Even though they say they're open until 3pm, they are clear about being open "until sold out". I asked the guy behind the counter and he said that they will often sell out by 1-2pm in the summer. By 12pm they typically have very limited options left. He also mentioned that the line will often start forming around 9am, a full hour before the place opens. I find that to be a bit extreme... There's very little seating inside (just two small tables), so I highly recommend that you take your donuts to go. If it's a nice day out, walk around the corner and grab a seat at a picnic table! Lastly, they have a huge "WARNING: FOOD ALLERGY" sign on their door that I highly recommend you read if you have any type of food allergies. I like that they're up front about it and suggest you not consume their donuts if you have specific types of allergies. If you're in town visiting, it's definitely worth giving this place a try!

I was greeted when I walked in and I took some time figuring out what to get since there was a bunch of items that looked delicious. Some of the ones I got were carrot cake, strawberry cheese, and vanilla cake. The pieces were enough to share and the prices were really decent. It came out to around 13 bucks for everything. The staff was great with putting everything together in boxes and checking me out at the register. Everyone loved the pastries when I brought them back to where we were staying and snacked on them all weekend long. I can see why this is a favorite in the area and I'm happy I went in there at the last minute. The kids and adults from our crew approve of the sweet treats.

This morning on our way home we took a special detour to have breakfast here. I asked for the same veggie omelette, hoping to re-experience their unique and delicious creation, but alas! it was a total disappointment! The distinctively creative design was gone, and in its stead was just an average, run-of-the-mill omelette, all the while (to make things even worse) sans the spinach that was specified on the menu (which was generously offered 4 years ago). I attach photos from 4 years ago for my dear readers to compare and understand my perspective. The homemade biscuit was still as warm, fluffy and tasty as before, so was the attentive and friendly service. However, we did get the feeling that this place had gone downhill, and are unlikely to return again.

The inside store is also very small, and masks are required. I've had doughnuts from many farms in NY/NJ - but Vera's are hands down the best. You wouldn't expect it being how unassuming this place is. The powdered cinnamon flavor is out of this world. The doughnuts are crisp but airy and lightweight, and covered in a thick dusting of powder. They also have plain apple cider, cinnamon sugar and your regular powdered style. We got 2 of each (minus the plain) and it was a $7.50 well spent!

I stopped in during a walk down Main Street and immediately loved the vibe. The space has that minimalist-yet-cozy aesthetic: clean lines, soft natural light, and the comforting smell of freshly roasted coffee beans in the air. It's the kind of place where you instantly feel like you could sit for hours and unwind. I ordered the lavender latte, and it was perfection. Smooth espresso, just the right touch of floral sweetness -- not overpowering, just beautifully balanced. It's officially my go-to whenever I'm in town. The staff was super friendly and clearly passionate about what they do, which makes the experience even better. Between the atmosphere, quality coffee, and the charm of Beacon itself, Big Mouth has easily become one of my favorite stops in the Hudson Valley.

I got the Iced Vanilla Latte which was fine and did the job. The espresso was extracted well, it was bold, and not overly intense. The vanilla was barely palpable as I didn't taste that sweetness I was looking for. I'd probably stick to some classic menu items rather than anything with an add-on. Decent try!
