    Hot caramel latte
    Melissa R.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]We always look for a cute coffee shop and this one checks that box.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The barista was helpful providing recommendations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is small but we went pretty close to closing time and there wasn't a line.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got a hot caramel latte, an iced amaretto latte, and an iced brown sugar latte. The coffee ice cubes are an awesome touch so the iced drinks don't get watered down.

    Maple pecan croissant

    Considered trying this place for while since I heard good stuff and wanted see for myself. I really wanted a ham croissant sandwich since the pics on here look amazing, but sadly they ran out of ham. So a bagel with cream cheese was my second go to, the bagel was just right, toasted not burnt, and not too much cream cheese. The maple pecan croissant was very good, flaky crust, smooth soft filling and I do love the shine all there pastries I noticed they have. Also appreciated they have a basket of day old stuff for half off, so they don't waste. Will have try here again and get that ham croissant next time

    My husband and I loved meeting Kate and Kevin, the owners! Great people with awesome attitudes and delicious coffee! I loved the coffee cubes in my iced Americano and my husband loved his Cortado! Thanks for such a fun experience!

    I love the food! Your employees have amazing customer service. And the Ambiance in this place is amazing!

    Cold brew to go in these cool aluminum cups. Ice cube is made of coffee, so it doesn't get watered down.

    Simple menu, but extremely high quality. Choose your own breakfast sandwich kind of place. Everything was freshly-made and delicious. I would eat their food every single day for the rest of my life.

    5 stars for the butterscotch scone 3 stars for the cold brew Definitely feels like a village coffee spot, as it's right next to the bus station. Cute and modest inside. The cold brew tasted good and smooth but didn't have the jolt of caffeine I was looking for. But that scone! I'll be thinking about that scone for a long time, as I rarely even like scones, but this one was unique and had the perfect texture. Fewer than 10 seats inside.

    We were just passing by this town on a long drive from Philadelphia to VT but we enjoyed our first…read morestop so much, we stopped here again on our way home! There is indoor and outdoor seating. All the outdoor tables have umbrellas. Dog friendly. You order and pay inside (tip: know your table number when you go to order). We tried two of their salads (Waldorf, southwest Cobb)... we enjoyed them all... very fresh, good sized. Got both of these on both trips in. The turkey BLT wrap was great! Parking - we parked in a lot behind the restaurant. Most people had to pay the meter but we had a handicap hangtag and the handicap spot was free. Would def recommend!

    Boy, are there a lot of post-hike options in New Paltz. I stopped by here this past Saturday…read moreafternoon after an 8.7-mile hike in nearby Minnewaska State Park. The weather had been pretty mediocre throughout the day but that clearly hadn't stopped the tourists from invading the downtown area - the place was teeming with people when I came in around 3pmish. I didn't do a ton of research on potential eating spots (a lot of SE Asian eateries, which seemed kind of random?) but picked Lola's because it was a block or two from where I parked, and I immediately imprinted on the Short Rib Grilled Cheese when I saw it on the online menu. Decision made. Since it was starting to get a little nicer out, I would have liked a spot outside in the front patio. But the girl at the check-in (I feel like there's a much better term for that) asked me to go inside, which for sure was a bias against the fact that I was a solo diner. I get it in theory, but it's not fun to get treated like a second-class citizen because you don't have a posse with you in a tourist trap. Regardless, the interior was fine; looked like it had been redone within the last year or so; what it lacked in personality it made up for in terms of overall spiffiness (and the area where the personality DID come through was in the bathroom area, with tongue-in-check "Whatever" gender signs on the doors and edgy art by the sinks. Tell me you're a college town without telling me you're a college town.). The set-up in here is more casual than I assumed; I was told that my table was #10 (the numbers were clearly marked on each table, reminiscent of Smashburger), and that once I decided what I wanted, I needed to go up to the counter to order. Someone WOULD serve the food, but a big chunk of the experience is DIY. I ordered the aforementioned Short Rib Grilled Cheese w/ Fries, along with a Diet Pepsi, and waited. I thought this was pretty inefficient, as there were plenty of employees nearby who easily could have just taken my order at the table instead of having me sit down, then stand up and walk across the restaurant to order, and then sit back down. The wait was a little longer than I would have guessed, just given the straightforward order and casual, almost fast-food style to the business model; it took close to 20 minutes to get my sandwich, I'd guess. Not egregious, and there WERE a number of other customers on the premises as well. The Grilled Cheese was just okay - I tend to grade on a curve after a hike, but I thought it was really drippy/greasy, and I wasn't crazy about the tomato compote it came with (which is a personal palate preference and something that WAS specifically referenced on the menu and I didn't request its exclusion; easy to remove, regardless). The short ribs aspect was unsurprisingly the best part. The fries were decent; a little pale but cooked through. There was a pickle hidden underneath them that was a little emotionally upsetting but it is what it is. This was fine and could have been worse, but the next time I'm in town I'm going to keep walking down the street and trying one of the many other options nearby. The target demo for this feels a little more 2am college student than hungry hiker in the afternoon.

I can safely say that we have sampled countless vegan and vegan-option places but NONE compare to Little Loaf! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the kindest, warmest, people who make you feel instantly welcomed! The space is incredibly inviting and full of positive and supportive energy--it's the kind of place you instantly want to come back to. And we have - over and over again! From Colleen, the chef and co-owner who couldn't be more lovely, talented and bighearted, to Gabriella (whom I believe is the kitchen manager) and who is above and beyond delightful and gracious- to Ryan, the co- owner who brings such warmth and kindness to this terrific place that you can understand why it attracts likeminded people, to Inka who always checks us out at he counter with a warmth and a smile! And the pastries... WOW!! They are hands down the best vegan pastries we've ever had! Every single one is fresh, beautifully made, and absolutely delicious. We also tried several of the sandwiches, and everything has been outstanding. It's obvious that everything is made and filled with love, care, and exceptional attention to quality. Whether you're vegan or not, this bakery is a true gem. Amazing food, truly wonderful people, and an atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. We can't wait to come back and try even more. This place has earned customers for life. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would! Highly, highly recommended!

It's a weakness…read more That's how I ended up at Ridge C., nestled right on the ever-bustling Main St in New Paltz. I popped in one winter lunch break and was hypnotized by the promise of that cocoa comfort I love. Ridge C. isn't just another cozy café. They have an entire wall lined with spices and loose-leaf teas in clear, labeled Mason jars. It's like a tea lover's dream. I was in my element. But let's talk hot chocolate. The first time? Disappointing. Bland. Still, I gave it another shot. This time requesting they go heavy on the chocolate. Nope. My 'heavy on the chocolate' request slipped into thin air, because round two was just as bland. Tip: Parking on Main Street is a nightmare and the meter maid's out here like it's a sport. Save yourself and look for a side street instead.

It's is nestled in this small little one room house. Everyone working here was so kind and friendly and took the time to give me a few whiffs. I ended up brewing a mix of blood orange and two types of mint as a cup of tea to go, and even took a small bag of loose leaf home with me. The brew he concocted was so flavorful and the right mix of orange and mint. Perfect for warming me up for another walk on a very cold day. The brewing took a few minutes so I was able to grab a seat, smell a few more teas, and await my hot tea to go. A few things to know! There was only one or two seats, so this is not a cafe to sit and relax, definitely only a grab and go. It is right off of the main street so not hard to find at all. If you are a fellow tea lover, you'll be keen on this great little spot.
