This is our third morning here for breakfast and every morning it's been sensational. It opens a little bit late for Forrest. It opens at nine. We usually are up and around much earlier. Yesterday, my sweetheart had a goat cheese omelette, and she loved it. It was perfectly cooked the first morning. We were here. We had the granola bowl and that was amazing too. Today my sweetheart had the shrimp and grits, I had eggs, sausage and sour dough toast. All excellent. I highly recommend this delightful spot and you will enjoy! read more

Awesome breakfast and lunch spot right on Tinker Street. Kind of in the middle and right by the public parking lot. They are only open for breakfast and lunch though they don't open super early. Make sure to check the times. There's a hallway you walk down to get into the restaurant. It's a nice space though not huge. There was also a patio area outside but down the block a little bit. When I went it was somewhat busy but there wasn't a wait to get a table though. Not sure if they were a little short handed but service was a little slow but besides that very good. Breakfast was good and I'll definitely be back to try lunch. read more

​This was our second time coming here for brunch, and unfortunately, it will probably be our last. ​To start with the positive, the food is genuinely good and well-prepared. However, the overall experience fell short. The staff could definitely be better--the service lacked attentiveness and didn't feel very welcoming. On top of that, our table was noticeably sticky, which really takes away from the enjoyment of a meal. ​It is a shame because the kitchen is doing a great job, but poor service and a lack of basic cleanliness at the table mean we won't be back. read more

This place is very cute. Their food is fresh and delicious. They're homemade Caesar salad dressing is extra notable. Their servers were fast and friendly. Loved the Vietnamese, coffee and vibe of the overall place. Street parking is available out front and around in the area. read more

We stopped here for brunch before driving out for a hike, and it was pretty packed - I felt lucky to grab a table without much of a wait, but there were quite a few groups behind us. At first glance the menu appears vaguely Mexican-inspired, but the cafe's decor and ambiance gives more of a New American feel. I was pretty excited to dive into my burrata sandwich. For me, the dressing is make-or-break for any salad, and I was pleasantly impressed by the side salad here. I was pretty ravenous and happily downed the entire sandwich. On the other hand, the fries were a little thick for my preferences (though that's probably best to slow me down!). It was a solid choice. Just be aware that it's not a quick grab-and-go type of meal (though they do offer takeout), nor is it light fare. In contrast to the other spots we've eaten at in town, Oriole 9 did NOT charge a credit card fee. read more

Oriole 9 - burrata sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Woodstock, New York

Everything we've ever had at Oriole 9 is really well prepared. The prices are reasonable, the coffee is excellent - best in Woodstock like they say. The only thing missing is dinner, hopefully they will start serving that in the future. And I won't say what our favorite dessert is because last time we were there they ran out. read more

Went in for lunch with my dad on Wednesday. We both got salads with unsweetened iced teas. Feels like a bit of a local's spot, though the location proves trendy. I experienced great service, tasty lunch plates we chose from multiple healthy options. Bonus: cozy and cute but non-pretentious ambience read more

We were wandering through Woodstock and needed a place to grab lunch. I happened to notice Oriole 9 and remembered hearing great things about it, so we decided to stop in there. The place was very crowded and resembled an upscale cafe with a small bar. The food was farm-to-table and reminded of something I might see in Los Angeles, as many of the menu items were healthy, hearty, and natural. I began with a Matcha Latte with almond milk, which was bold, earthy, and creamy. It was one of the better ones I had ever had. Similarly, I had an incredible Egg White Omelet with my additions of tomatoes, peppers, and mushrooms. It was super fresh, well-seasoned, and not at all greasy. It was served with a small salad of greens, carrots, and grape tomatoes. These tomatoes were a bit mushy, but I enjoyed the dressing on the salad. I also received Rye Toast, which seemed like it had come from a bakery, rather than a supermarket package. My companion had ordered a Pretzel Bun Burger with no cheese and a side of fries. However, since our server did not write down the order, we were a bit nervous. A few moments after, she had come back to the table asking if he wanted breakfast potatoes or fries, to which he repeated "fries". When the burger came, it looked amazing, but was also slathered with cheese, so he had to send it back. When the corrected version arrived, we were impressed with the thickness of the patty. He said the burger was excellent, and I loved the few fries I snagged. Aside from the ordering snafu, we had a great experience at Oriole 9! The menu was vast and offered something for everyone. I would definitely recommend giving it a visit. read more

Great for breakfast and lunch. Delicious food with many options. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Delicious coffee.

Solid breakfast spot. Not too crowded when we came a little bit after 9am on Sunday morning, parking wasn't bad either since it was still pretty early. The food was decent, coffee not so great (I ordered a mocha) I was excited to try their bread pudding since I saw good reviews of it but sadly they didn't have it. The interior is spacious and welcoming, it's a nice breakfast spot and would return read more

My favorite spot in Woodstock! Been coming since I'm a little kid, and appreciate its unique and cozy vibes even more each time I get to stop in. The service is always friendly and efficient. And of course, their food really sets them apart. Their French Toast with fresh berries and Avocado toast were always my go to, but most recently I had an outstanding Reuben sandwich. I tucked in and had this during quite a thunderstorm, and it was absolutely delicious. Even the side salad just about knocked my socks off, with its bright, zesty flavor. Couldn't recommend enough, it's a must visit when on Tinker St! read more

Delicious food, good service, comfortable atmosphere, good for kids too. If I remember correctly, nice selection of local beer, too.

This is a great spot. It is quite popular so on the weekends you can expect to wait. The food is good, the menu has something for everything, and the service is friendly. I have only been here for breakfast, but it is my go to place when I am in Woodstock. The restaurant is clean and has a good vibe. It can feel a little chaotic when they are super busy as people who are waiting tend to jam up the entrance. The servers are pretty good about coming around to check on you and refill coffee, etc. You can feel a little rushed some weekends when there are a lot of people waiting. I usually get an egg dish, and it is always perfectly cooked to order. Check the specials also. They are very reliable. Overall, this is a great spot, and I would highly recommend it. I will definitely return...again. read more

Recommended by a friend who lives in town. Interesting menu, something for everyone. I had the Cajun Trout Tacos, very good. I must say, I was taken back at how dirty the entire place was...food under tables, spills. Just grimy. Reminded me of a college town late night Denny's. I could see how it could be a favorite, but I probably would not return. read more

Decided to give the Oriole 9 a shot this past Sunday for Brunch. We live less than 15 miles away and our usual brunch place is currently closed down. We found d a parking spot a few blocks away on this busy autumn morning. Hostess told us our party of 2 had about a 20 minute wait so she took our number. We walked outside to people watch which is always fun in Woodstock. 20 minutes later, the phone rang and we walked in to be seated immediately. The dining room is a lively place and very comfy. Nice assortment of items on the menu. We both started with Bloody Mary's. Garnish well and super tasty, a nice treat before noon. Not super heavy on the vodka but still enjoyable. I got the egg Benny with lobster. It was served with deliciously seasoned small chunks of lobster, breakfast potatoes cooked perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was spot on. My wife had a Benny with a side of corned beef hash. Not a traditional hash but some tasty chicks of beef made it enjoyable. We also snuck in an appetizer (yes it was brunch but who's judging). Jalapeño cheese stuffed tater tots. So good and filling and definitely will be getting them again. Service was a bit slow after we got our meals but we were not in a rush. Cool vibe and delicious food will bring us back. A bit pricey for the area but it checked most of the boxes for a great morning adventure. Kid friendly . Parking can be tricky but a few public lots available if you don't mind walking a few blocks . read more

Oriole 9 - Impossible burger and Oriole burger, plus a strawberry mint lemonade and a bourbon sour - tasty! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Woodstock, New York

Hi, I am a frequent customer at Oriole 9. Have always enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Today when I received my grilled cheese, I noticed that half of the sandwich had a huge chunk of bacon (leftover from a previous order in the pan I assume) fried into the bread. At first I thought it was just burnt cheese. It was not. This is also the SECOND TIME this exact situation has happened within a few months. When I told the waitress she was very nice and even took the meal off my bill, I am very grateful for that. She also said "my boss said next time to specify that you're vegetarian so there's no cross contamination and so they wipe the pan in between." Even if I was not a vegetarian, I would not want the food from a previous order cooked into my food. That is just unacceptable. Not wiping the pan between meals is unacceptable. The correct answer should have been "We're so sorry. We will correct this. It shouldn't have happened and won't happen again." It is upsetting not because I'm a vegetarian (which yes it does bother me) but even more so it just shows carelessness on the kitchen staff for paying customers and what they order. Does every customer need to ask for the pan to be wiped down before their meal is cooked? That is just unreasonable. read more

Oriole 9 was a perfect breakfast spot to visit on our last morning visiting Woodstock. The ambiance is adorable, and the food is incredible for breakfast. We started with a cappuccino and freshly squeezed orange juice. The cappuccino was one of the best tasting I have ever had. No sugar needed. The orange juice was also delicious. For entrees I got the smoked salmon bagel and my husband got the huevos rancheros. The smoked salmon bagel was huge! It was also served with a side salad. It was so fresh and delicious. I could only eat half, so I took the other half home. My husband devoured the huevos rancheros. They were perfectly seasoned, moist and delicious. How could I forget? We got a side of bacon- wow! Incredible, perfectly crisped bacon. Absolutely to die for. Don't miss Oriole 9 for breakfast if you are in Woodstock. Get the bacon! read more

Six years later and we're back in Woodstock! You know we had to come back to Oriole 9. This is the absolute best restaurant I've ever been to. The food is so fresh. So delicious. Today, I decided to get the lobster Benedict and it was out of this world. The freshest lobster meat and the hollandaise sauce was so creamy. We had guacamole to start with tortilla chips. Very good as well. The picture I took doesn't do it justice. Woodstock is a very cute town. We've had the chance to visit a few spots in town. Oriole 9 is a must. If you're in the area, you have to stop by! read more

We had an amazing brunch here and the wait time was spot on. It was worth waiting 20 minutes for a great brunch. My husband had a hot toddy and said it was one of the best he's had and I had a mocha coffee and it was great. We started with the bacon, cheddar and chive stuffed tater tots and they were amazing. They were very crispy on the outside and had a flavorful filling. I then got a spinach, mushroom and cheddar omelette and it was very good. My husband got the corned beef hash and loved it. I would definitely recommend. read more

What can I say. Everytime I leave this place I'm thoroughly satisfied. Always leaving full with a smile and always greeted by the friendliest faces. Really gonna miss Brooke when she takes some time away. I always order the eggs Hemingway gluten free. It's so good and I feel like one of Pavlov's dogs the food is so good. My only note is that the gluten free toast is a little small, but I get that! Best dirty chai in town yall read more

Wife and I made our first trip down to Woodstock, beautiful area/village, and decided on breakfast at Oriole 9. A popular place but we were seated quickly as it got busier while we were there.

A lotta burrata! That's the first thing that came to mind when making this review. I enjoyed my meal here, but one suggestion or thing AJ would have enjoyed was some citrus or grapes, something to balance out the heaviness of the goat cheese. The service was great - it was really busy but we were seated right away and felt well taken care of. read more

Wonderful place, located in the heart of Woodstock, amidst shops and eateries. The size of the restaurant is deceiving from the entrance, it appears small but is very spacious inside. The staff are all very nice, great menu, lots of choices, especially for vegetarians. I had the impossible burger and a Bloody Mary, friends has the burrata sandwich, pulled pork sandwich and heuveos rancharos, mimosa with pineapple juice, all excellent. The decor is warm and lots of art on the walls. read more

Oriole 9 - a plate of food and a basket of bread - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Woodstock, New York

Food-salad was almost rotten overall so much so that you could taste it if you had a decent palate. Greens were black. how could anyone in the food service field even let that go out? even if you did not know a thing about food appearance. I am quite sure people realize green vs black are polar opposites. Burrito tasted and appeared as if they just dumped a can of refried out like I would do in my home to make it. Service-the girl who was our waitress waited until we were almost done eating to come over to ask if everything was okay. It is crazy to think that the nice girl in blue shirt with blonde hair who was not out waitress came over frequently, brought the dressing that was forgotten, took out trays. She should have gotten what tip was left, not out "actual" waitress. Ambience-the overall place was pleasant and we did enjoy our seating and the atmosphere was pleasant as well. I would not recommend this eatery I am sorry to say read more

Great Benedicts and quick service. Nice atmosphere. Really great mid-week place for brunch.

Been meaning to come here for years but somehow always missed it or they weren't open. This time I was like we are getting breakfast from here! I only wish we came here to eat but take out was delicious. Love the area of Woodstock and food never disappoints. We walked by later on that day and it's definitely cute looking inside. read more

Unbelievably friendly and kind. It was crowded but the whole team was poised and calm. Food was great too. Hats off!

This is just a review of coffee. Dark roast - very bold and full bodied. Hints of ash and smokey burnt flavors. Would go well with sweet milk but as far as black coffee goes it doesn't hit the mark. read more

So disappointing, they can't make poached eggs. We sent them back 3 times & then gave up. Ordered burger medium, it came well well done. The French toast was terrible. They gave away our table on my husband's birthday brunch, to a group that didn't have a reservation. Today, they were overwhelmed. In the past we've had good experiences, but after today I think we won't be back. It's so humid & there's no air conditioning. It's sweltering in here. I'm not bitter, Im honest. read more

We just finished doing to Railroad Explorer and wanted to find a place to have a good lunch near Overlook Mountain. Saw this place on TripAdvisor and said it is Californian. So lucky we did come in and try. I had the Cajun trout tacos which came in 2 pieces and the fish was lightly fried and the cilantro crema was oozy. That was $10 and so worth it. My son got the homemade corn beef hash skillet and wow the corn beef hash was one of the best ones we had. So much that I ordered a side of that for $6. My wife got the lobster Benedict which she thought was just okay and wished there were more lobster. For drink, I got the Vietnamese ice coffee and that really hit the spot as well. Honestly. we really enjoyed this place and the food is very fresh and wonderful service. Highly recommended. read more

We came here with our friends for brunch last Sunday. The place was slammed and there was a wait, but we walked around the town during it, so the time passed quickly. First thing to note about this place: it is shockingly and deafeningly loud. You can see they that they tried to make it better by installing some soundboards on the ceiling, but it is still horrific. Our waitress was really sweet, but it was clear that she was in the weeds and we didn't see her for most of our time there. The coffee is good. One of us got their kale salad and added poached eggs, but only one came out on top even though the "added side" said that there would be two. No complaints about the salad, which was standard, but well-executed and tasted fine. Same thing with the breakfast quesadilla: they're not doing anything "fancy" or impressively "artisanal" here, but you'll be sated with your eggs, cheese, spinach, and grocery store-purchased tortilla. Our daughter was very happy with her French toast, which was a sugar-carb explosion perfectly tailored for children in the morning. We were treated to brunch, so can't speak to the value other than to say that Oriole 9 seems consistent with the pricing in the area, which is higher-than-usual, but not obnoxiously so. We had a pleasant final meal here with our friends, and while it's really more 3.5 stars, we're rounding up in a spirit of good will. read more

It would be easy and simple to say I was in Woodstock NY for three days and ate at the Oriole 9 twice, but hey it wouldn't be a real review. I'm suprised by some people these days, but if you haven't noticed the pandemic has taken straight aim at restaurants - short staffed or staff having to pull double shifts so let's cut some slack. Oh, and a reminder - yea Woodstock NY may be peace and love, but it is expensive everywhere to you shop and eat. Now back to O9 service and food. Everybody at Oriole 9 was nice. Friendly. Helpful. Accommodating. Funny. Professional. All this with a smile by the waitresses and bus-persons. The food is simply great, which fills the place with people. Here is the reason - fresh food perfectly prepared and/or cooked, with a splash of inventiveness, and plenty of options. Entering around closing time, we were seated and waited on by Brook (two weeks and I still remember Brook). End of the day, double shift and she had the patience's of an angel reviewing the menu with us. Day one was freshly prepared salsa and guacamole, Classic Cheddar Burger lettuce tomato and onions, vegan-burger, fries, soy-milk latte and (I almost fainted!) Vietnamese Coffee - Forgetaboutit! The "guac" was a perfect blend of flavors - no over seasoning or lime/lemon. Both burgers were off the hook tasty, moist, and flavorful. The fries were potato filled with a nice crisp outside. The coffees were so delicious we ordered our seconds immediately. Day two was great coffee again (see above), fresh and plentiful lox on a toasted bagel. I love eggs over hash and I am always looking for something different and Oriole 9 delivered. Corned beef was cubed, eggs cooked to order, onions tender and the spices spot on. For the most part the cubes melted in your mouth, but an occasional fatty piece made chewing tough, but overall, the taste was off the hook. In planning for our next Woodstock NY trip, we will be heading immediately to Oriole 9, making sure it is a Friday Saturday or Sunday to see Brook read more
