There are lots of things I've enjoyed off the menu, but the egg salad presser is just plain delicious. Coffee always perfect. When our electricity or internet is out (we live on the mountain), we come down here to work, and everyone here is welcoming and gracious. Excellent place.

Cinnamon Buns, Paninis, Lattes, you can't really go wrong here!…read more I really enjoyed everything I ordered as did my group, the barista even brought our food and drink to our table after we said we were going to take our order to go because we ended up sitting down as 2 of us ordered sandwiches. The space was beautiful and I loved the separate room they had for the dining area, a great coffee spot in a small town is so important. I loved the energy from the place and will definitely be back again!

We had gone to Andes, NY for a yoga retreat and hadn't tried this place yet, so we made a point of stopping on our way out of the Andes and that was the best decision. Their cafe has indoor and outdoor seating. Very relaxed atmosphere and the feeling when walking in is clean and refreshing energy. Very simple set up which makes new places less overwhelming and you can focus on the purpose for visiting which is coffee and wine. We got mocha lattes as the one worker suggested that's a perfect drink to sip on while on your travels home. It wasn't too sweet, clean tasting and absolutely delicious. All of the staff and the husband and wife (owners) were delightful to chat with while waiting. Recommendations were on point as we got a bag of beans to go and I just made them this morning- let's just say CHEFS KISS If ever in the area, near the area, far from the area...you will not be disappointed in visiting. I think it's the best coffee shop in the town (and yes there was another)

My one piece of feedback, I wish the evening menu had at least one small simple dish for those of us with kids! I don't expect a kids' menu with chicken tenders or mac and cheese, just something unfussy.

The selection rotates from day to day, but he will make custom orders (like wedding cakes) if you request in advance. This shop is what you would expect in France: no frills, traditional wood & glass cabinets, no unnecessary frosting or decorations on the pastries--just deliciousness. Stop in whenever you can. The only thing to note is that Antoine only accepts cash and Venmo, no credit cards, so be prepared to pay and pay well for his hard work.

4&1/2..Vibes for days...It's hard to imagine one not being smitten by this picture perfect,…read morebeautifully restored vintage turn of the century set-piece worthy little all-day cafe, smack in the middle of what was a strong contender for the most postcard/storybook perfect little upstate town I visited in my recent treks trough the region this past fall. I've heard this little village has had among the most intense glow-ups of the post covid boom in the region and it sure shows. What was once a typically sleepy and stagnant, though still undeniably charming downtown common to the area when I last came through some 20-plus years ago now has all the hallmarks of an upscale, bespoke Brooklyn-north outpost, and this place is a perfect representation, though thankfully one that accentuates a positive example of such development that can serve and be appreciated by both the recent transplants as well as the longtime locals. This is thanks most crucially to the prices remaining happily reasonable and accessible to median income in the area, as opposed to raising prices to typical Brooklyn levels (like at the previously panned Phoenicia Diner). This is likely due to the fact that this place actually was established in the last decade, when, while the Brooklynification of the Catskills was certainly well under way, it had not yet been turbocharged to its insane post Covid levels. Food quality however was uniformly excellent, to the point that it would be a beloved neighborhood asset most any of us would love to have in our own hood. Everything I sampled on my lunch there, selected with the help of the thoughtful suggestions of my excellent server, tasted exceedingly fresh and clean, no doubt owing to the bounty of wonderful local ingredients from which the kitchen procures from. Each dish displayed some delightfully retro 90s era influences from the thick and creamy corn chowder, tasting brilliantly of peak late summer corn, to a bright and briny orzo salad, and the star of the meal, the unctuous, savory, perfectly seasoned umami bomb of a meatloaf pressed panini with the squishy pillowy meatloaf melding topped with gooey smokey provolone contrasted brilliantly with the crusty craggily pressed bread. It was a contender for best thing I had upstate and rivals any burger I had in 2025. Was a deeply satisfying lunch that left be deliciously satiated for my drive out of town through the glorious rolling Catskill Hills dreaming of a future opportunity for another visit.

It wasn't too busy when we arrived in middle of the afternoon, and we were warmly greeted. You place your order at the counter and then seat yourself. Water and cups are out too. I went with the Pad Thai ($27 with chicken) and also got to try some of the fried chicken ($17), a special. Prices seemed a little high but the dishes were delicious, with portions being reasonable and the Pad Thai not being overwhelmingly sweet. The fried chicken was magically crunchy outside and moist inside, with an irresistible dipping sauce not too cilantro-y. The Windham Local has a parking lot off to the side, but there was ample street parking too. And a shop proprietor later told us that The Windham Local is her place to eat in town!

Coffees were delicious and strong and the breakfast burrito was truly the best breakfast burrito I think I've ever had. The space is so cute. I read on their website while planning the weekend that they are open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and have live music on the weekends. It looks like they do it all. We stopped in early and had our choice of tables. The space is big, clean and perfectly calm. Great spot for a slow breakfast. After ordering at the counter, they brought everything over to our table. I got the oatmeal bowl. Delicious and simple. However, I couldn't help but steal many many bites of the breakfast burrito. Seriously, get it! A great spot with good food, a friendly team and a cozy vibe.
