    In town visiting and really felt like having an iced caffeinated beverage. The staff was very helpful in helping me decide which drink to choose. They all sounded delicious and if I lived closer I would keep coming back to try them all. Denise got extra excited when she described the Maple Latte to me. I was sold on getting the BARK EATER Iced Latte (oat milk)! To complement my drink I added their giant peanut butter cookies. Let me tell you.. The joy I experienced was heavenly. Soo glad I came in today and I will be back!!

    I'm not a big salad eater, but I did order one here. They had a fairly wide range of options... ended up ordering a Little Crow because it had spinach and also goat cheese which I really love. The salad was fine and came with a delicious maple vinaigrette. Unfortunately they were fairly stingy with the goat cheese and bacon... there was only a minimal amount of both. Pickup was very easy (covid times). I arrived a few minutes after ordering and the food was waiting for me in a bag outside the restaurant.

    Very skimpy on the meats.  Not a good value

    Great location with friendly service. They have 46 different sandwiches that represent the 46 peaks above 4K feet. Menu is huge and there's something for everyone. Our issue was the very little amount of filling on these sandwiches. Just not a good value for a 10.00 sandwich. Lots of options in the area. Likely won't return

    Gothics Sandwich yum!!!!
    Jessica D.

    Hands down some of the best sandwiches in town! My coworker and I love the 10 Gothics with nice quality roast beef, blue cheese crumbles that perfectly compliment the sandwich on a fresh hearty roll. Drooling just thinking about it :)

I've been…read morevisiting Lake Placid for years, but only discovered this bakery this year, mostly by following its patrons who were perambulating around the Main Street with what looked like amazing little scones. Speaking of said scones, they're fantastic. If you're expecting biscuit-line scones, these might be a bit of a disappointment. These are on the bread-ier side of the pastry spectrum, but no less satisfying. We tried the blueberry almond scone and the raspberry white chocolate, and both were scarfed down within minutes. I also love that these aren't sickly sweet. Paired with a latte (for which I highly, highly recommend getting a pump of the hazelnut syrup), Bluesberry Bakery was responsible for supplying some of the best breakfasts we had during our stay in Lake Placid. City folks ought to temper their expectations. This is a small town bakery on a quaint main street, and inside, space is tight. There isn't any seating space, and if two or more groups of customers come in simultaneously, the rest of the queue has to wait outside the door. But things behind the counter are manned by a small, dedicated crew of folks who keep things moving. As with any bakery that makes things fresh, come as soon as the urges hit; when they're out, they're out. I learned this the hard way when I came late afternoon for a scone and found they were sold out.

    We walked by this modest shop several times during our stay in Lake Placid before deciding to stop…read morein for a quick bite on our last day in the area. When we first saw the pseudo-chalet looking building, we were struck by the name "Sugar Shack," immediately thinking of the iconic places you can find in many upper New England states that process maple sap into syrup and also into other sugary yummies. But then we noticed that the name also indicated "Dessert Company" and realized maybe it wasn't just about maple syrup and sweets. So we peeked in the window, looked at the big chalk menu which listed sandwiches, and decided to have our last breakfast here before departing. The interior is as puzzling - in a sense - as our initial impression. Yes, there is a bright display case filled with some delectable and delightful-looking pastries, muffins, donuts, and cookies. But then, there is a slushy machine right inside the door (?), and shelves of souvenirs (maple syrup in a variety of bottles), boxes of pre-packaged, brand-name chocolates and other candy, and chips to accompany your lunch sandwich. A diverse and wide-ranging mix in my mind. Our sandwiches were made on a small griddle like you would find in anyone's home and wrapped in foil for us. (We chose to eat them at one of the two tiny seats - I think there may have been 4 seats - inside, by the window). The sandwiches were fine...but that's about as far as I can go. We saw a "For Sale" sign near the door indicating the business was up for grabs and from all appearances, the person running it now is doing everything in their power to make a go of it. But without creating a more unique and efficient, competitive business, the end may be in sight.

Also, the cappuccinos were from a machine you press and when we went to press the button only water went out. The lady behind the counter added a powder mix that was not cappuccino mix -- it was hot coco mix, not caffeinated espresso and hot steamed milk which is what a cappuccino should be made from! Also, the lady behind the counter was not very pleasant. We were there with three little kids so I felt taken advantage of since I didn't have time to check my receipt instantly. Also, wasn't offered a paper copy.

Late last year we were in town and stopped in the bakery and asked if they'd be willing to do something a little different than the typical wedding cake. We wanted mini-tiramisus for our guests and a big tiramisu for us. Rene was delighted by the request and welcomed the break from all the wedding cakes. She delivered the tiramisus and set-up a beautiful display of them on wood stumps and she brought in some gold heart decor and greenery. We misplaced our cake topper and messaged her the day ofand she improvised by using a heart stencil with the cocoa powder that came out so nice. Our guests were already raving about how amazing the dessert display was and they raved even more after they ate the dessert. Some people were like I don't normally like tiramisu but I love this. and it was SO good. We brought our whole tiramisu (and maybe a few minis as well) back to our hotel and ate it all throughout our wedding weekend. Rene was a pleasure to work with. We had several calls and emails with her. And she listened and really captured what we wanted.

    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.

The employees were friendly, and our stuff came out fast. I got an iced latte with maple syrup and soy milk, my boyfriend got a salted caramel iced latte with vanilla cold foam, and my friend got a drip coffee. The coffee was so good! The only reason I'm not leaving 5 stars is because my friend got the savory cheese twist and it tasted stale, dry and not like cheese :( but the quiche was very good he said. Overall I'd definitely come back for more lattes! I'm happy to have tried this on a trip to Lake Placid.

We were waiting with two elderly and they recommended trying the sourdough pancakes. We got in by 9:05 and by 9:30 the whole place was packed. People say the woman is rude and I see that. Her attitude was dependent on how busy she was. When we first arrived and stood inside by the door, she teased us for not coming to the cash register to order food. The elderly ordered first and when we tried to order immediately after, she scolded us to wait. We each got the mountain man combo. I asked if I could get sourdough pancakes in the combo and I eventually got my way. The sourdough pancakes tasted like sourdough while being just grainy enough to count as pancakes. I liked it. We were supposed to get toast with our combos and when we asked, she said, "Well it normally does. Do you want it?" ...what? We got fresh semolina bread, and It was worth it. One friend felt like he was being punished for placing an order at the restaurant. I was laughing inside because nothing made sense. Good thing we were mentally prepared for these issues because she could have soured our moods instantly. It was hilarious how accurate the customer service reviews were. We had a great time getting mixed feelings between attitude and food. While we were terrified at times, the food was great and that is a fact.
