Their handmade drinks are quite good, and the coffee is well pulled. Strong without any bitterness. I haven't tried the food yet, but they sounded good so I'll have to go back. Oh, there's a bathroom in the antique shop. It's clean. Should I just go around reviewing public bathrooms lol? I was told that you can use the U driveway up front as a kind of drive thru? But there is parking on the antique shop side. It's a great location because you can walk around the shop while you wait for your drink - they have a cool selection if a variety of antiques. The only annoying thing is if you're going southbound, and you want to get back on the southbound side after. That left turn sucks.

For quick in and outs to grab coffee, you can pull into the wrap around driveway, or there is additional parking in the back. Every single drink on the menu is made to perfection and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients used. Some ingredients are made in haus! Anthony is the heart and soul behind the carefully curated Arios Coffeehaus. He is always welcoming and very friendly. We also love when his mom is filling in for him! The vibe is very classy, easy going and makes me feel like I'm in a little Italian cafe. My favorite drink is the midnight coconut. Collectively between myself, my boyfriend, and cousin we have tried every drink on the menu and every one of them hits the spot every time. We love the loyalty cards and make sure we always have ours in the car. This is my favorite coffee spot ever so far. I love the emphasis on local here. You can't help but to be aware of all the love and care that is continually poured into Arios. The key to your success will be to always remember that love and intention are the secret ingredients to anything good in life. Thank you for every wonderful visit!

Found JB while visiting family in the area. It was a great find!…read more It's a unique little shop that is easy to miss. It sits back away from the road. I was impressed the moment I walked in. They roast their own coffee so the smell alone is an experience for the coffee lover. The shop vibe is laid back and offers limited seating. It would make for a good one on one meet up spot. I take my coffee black and their drip did not disappoint. It was flavorful. I paired it with an oatmeal raisin cookie that was baked in house. Wow...it was light and buttery. I went back and bought some more to take home. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I was greeted as I walked through the door. I will definitely be going back on my next visit to the area.

Little Goat How do you cap off a magical month of Mozart at…read moreBard College at Annandale-on-Hudson? By heading to the charming Little Goat at 6380 Mill Street in Rhinebeck, NY! We have been meaning to try it since our neighbors raved about their Thanksgiving meal there last year. We entered and were immediately greeted by a basket of baguettes from Sparrowbush of Hudson at the counter. The browned crust reminded of us of our holy grail of bread from Balthazar that a guest had brought to our home 30 years ago. We've been unable to find a comparable baguette until we found one at the recently shuttered Fletcher & Lu's. We'd make monthly pilgrimages to stock up, and were saddened when our bread fix was no longer available. We snapped one up to test it out (had it for breakfast and it's glorious!) The interior is painted a warm butter yellow, the shelves house white ironstone pitchers, and baskets of wildflowers abound. Simple, but homey, yet at the same time elegant. The table settings are understated, and much like those I grew up with my grandmere from the southwest of France, who settled in the Napa Valley. My cousin Thérèse runs a restaurant in Beauregard in the Lot department that reminds me greatly of the Little Goat. We were in good hands with our server, Lennon (yes, named after THAT Lennon!) She was attentive, animated and very charming. We started with a Churchtown Dairy (Hudson) Copperwaite, local honeycomb with spelt bread appetizer that was on point. For our wine we had 4 glasses of Gamay, Coeur de la Reine, Loire, France 2023 (nice and plummy, but recommend getting a bottle rather than by the glass for a better value!) I had the Roasted Petite Filet, with Smoked Pepper Butter, Tallow-Fried Onions and Bernaise on the side. Tender, flavorful, and a generous portion that was enough for another meal. With that I had the barbecue-spiced crispy potatoes, a perfect combination. My husband had the Rigatoni Pork Ragu, Sourdough Soffrito dusted with Parmigiano. (Disclaimer: after 50 years together, if this dish is on the menu, I know he will order it. He did...and loved it, ranking it among the best he's ever had ), pairing it with Braised Romano Beans, Sofrito, and Smoked Pecorino. For dessert, we "shared" (ok, he had one bite and I devoured the rest) the Chocolate Budino,* Creme Fraiche, Oats dusted with Fleur and topped with a crisp Tuile. * A budino is what you get if a pot de crème hooked up with crème brûlée for a steamy night and had a baby! What is so charming about this restaurant is that it is so family-friendly. Several tables had babies and toddlers galore and it gave the room a welcome liveliness. Definitely not stuffy, and a welcome relief from snooty dining establishments. Kudos to Erin Winters and Taavo Somer for bringing such an extraordinary dining experience to my beloved Hudson Valley. You excel at what you do. And Five Toques to Chef Paragas...you slay!
