Pizze, Pastries and Pane. Can you really go wrong?…read more Started myself off with a few of their samples that they leave astray for addicts like me. You can smell the bread and pizza from roughly 100 meters away. A guy like me can cover that in the 11 second range once the vermicelli noodles of hair in my nostrils catch the right sniff. Impressive? Idk. But I bet I look the part when I'm cycling my feet in continuity with my arms pumping in synchrony. Covering the X and Y Axis at the perfect rates as to not extend my stride too long or bring my knees to high. I'm a peddler. A popper. The Pepper Shaker. But anyways - everything was pretty solid. Pizza was solid. Not going crazy for it but if you need a little pick me up on your Park Ridge stroll you'll be pretty content having a low 7s slice and supporting local business. A content LB is a gracious LB. With graciousness, I say gg homies.

Maia's is a cute bakery. There's street parking in the area and it's quite small inside. They sell…read morebreads, sweets and pizzas. However, selection is limited. It's one of those places where they make a few things and they'll run out soon enough. I bought a Nutella babka and a sourdough baguette, which is small. It's only about 6-7" long. Again, cute place. Both items tasted great and I can say that the quality is there. If you're expecting a big bakery, this isn't the place. It's more of a niche place with select offerings. There are a couple tables inside, if you'd like to stay and munch. While visiting on a Friday morning, a few other customers popped in and I could tell that they definitely have repeat customers. Prices are what you'd expect for this type of niche, family run bakery.

Fortunately, we came across this place, exactly what we were looking for. They're an organic restaurant that sources all of their ingredients locally. The service was friendly and genuinely welcoming. I had the Morning Bowl, and my partner ordered the Chef's Bowl. You can truly taste the difference when the ingredients are local -- whether roasted, shredded, or raw, everything was delicious! Easily the best veggies I've had in a while. The best part was there was no guilt -- both bowls were perfectly balanced. We also enjoyed a brewed tea, which we learned was made locally as well. This place has no frills when it comes to décor, which fits perfectly with the rustic nature of the food. If we're ever back in the area, we'll definitely go back to the wild radish.

Chestnut Ridge, NY - Threefold Cafe continues to be one of my favorite places to eat in Rockland!…read moreSee my previous review for why I love them. I'm updating this review mostly to add more photos, but have been enjoying hanging out here for a coffee & pastry while catching up on emails or just taking in the peaceful surroundings, meeting friends for lunch, and most recently returned for one of their lively Friday night dinners with music on the outdoor patio (indoors if the weather is uncooperative). They are now open for dinner 5 nights a week in the summer! The menu is seasonal and changes often, with daily specials and some staples. The food is hearty and wholesome, and I love their salads. Relaxed atmosphere, family friendly, BYOB.

The quiche for example tasted like something i would make, though not sure if that's a good thing or not (ha). The chicken shawarma ($14) was pretty good though the pita could have been softer; it had eggplant, onions and mushroom as well. Quite enjoyed the strawberry cupcake - light and airy. They have glasses of tap water in the fridge which you can help yourself to and you bus your own tables by putting your silverware and plates in a pan. They have a very small parking lot that says 20 minute parking. We parked at the school next to it so hopefully that was ok. Not sure where all the customers were parking as the official lot was full.

First thing that hits you is that amazing baked goods smell. That is quickly followed by a pleasant greeting from the owners. Definitely taking pride in their place. They gave good recommendations.

Enjoyed both baked goods for dessert later in the evening, very fresh and not overly sweet. Will certainly return to Ixchel!

There are 7 sauces with enticing names to choose from - 2 come with the order, and from the 3rd on is extra charge. We tried their "smoky nightshade" (roasted eggplant and pepper), "sweet cardamom" and "spicy cilantro" - very impressive, certainly added great flavor to all the ingredients. Our attentive waiter kept checking on us too see if we needed anything else. It's a small and cozy eatery, with artful decorations and antique looking yet comfortable furniture. When I first visited this spot two years ago, I took photos of their interior to send to a friend in Canada, who was preparing to open a small restaurant. She was very much inspired!
