What a cute spot! Easy to find and a lot of parking made this an easy choice. The options were numerous and all the pastries looked divine. I chose a cranberry muffin and vanilla latte-both were tasty. The breakfast sandwich was received fresh and piping hot and was also pretty great. I can't wait to return to try more drinks and food. read more

What a cute store! Perfect for a Sunday outing in late summer/early Fall! We perused the vintage and boutique items for sale. Then we had lunch, listened to an acoustic guitar player and walked around the an art show. They serve their own food ( I had a pilgrim wrap with turkey, cranberry mayo and stuffing.) and also had a taco truck available. A great afternoon. read more

A gem! Found this place on Yelp, and thank goodness! Wonderful staff, fantastic food, historical ambience, charming gift shop, they're the real deal. I got their signature breakfast sandwich, a great coffee, and an assortment of incredible baked goods. This is now a staple for us! read more

What a treasure we have in Saratoga County. We went today and had the breakfast sandwich. I has a chai latte as well. Everything was delicious and freshly made. The new gift area is totally beautiful. We will be back to pick up some gifts. Highly recommend this cool place. read more

Sunday Breakfast in this historic quaint setting was perfect that is open until 3:00 pm for breakfast or lunch. Husband enjoyed the Irish Breakfast Sandwich. I had the Crustless Quiche with Spinach, Bacon, and Cheddar. It was so tender it melted in my mouth. The cheddar provided a sharpness to the creaminess of the quiche. (see photos to enhance my description) The best part was the sweet ending. I nabbed the last Raspberry Scone which exceeded my high expectations -- full of fresh raspberries and not too sweet scone. We also shared a Blueberry Muffin which was top notch. There were also cookies, sweet breads, and Pecan Pie in the case. They serve excellent Harney Teas, great coffee, and a variety of hot chocolate, lattes etc. I included a photo of the beverage menu as well as the food offerings. The Beekman Bros line is offered in the general store along with NYS hand lotions and candles. The Lavender Rosemary lotion was a must buy. The general store includes cards, handbags, vintage items, plus mugs and t-shirts with the store logo. We sat inside but many families were eating outside since it was a lovely fall day. read more

The vibes are immaculate and they back it up with excellent food, drink, and events. The staff is super sweet. My husband's a coffee drinker and he's really enjoyed both their hot and iced coffee. I love their specialty lemonade and we've enjoyed several events in their outdoor space. And their products are lovely! One quick edit: I do hope they start to use more sustainable practices like compostable cups/bowls/straws, refillable ketchup bottles instead of individual packets, etc. would love to see it! read more

Bakery is excellent except for their ridiculously small scones. They are more like nuggets. I'd rather pay more and get a decent sized scone. read more

One of my pet sitting clients moved and I saw this cute truck outside of this store. I was intrigued and their Instagram sounded promising for a tasty latte. Upon entering is the cafe part and a welcoming smiling staff, tables, fresh water and items to browse. I ordered a maple pistachio oat milk latte and it was divine! There is an entryway into a little shop area with the cutest items and certainly something for everyone. I asked a couple questions about their cbd tea with an associate and they were very helpful. I ended up going back the next day for another latte and an extra to bring back home to my daughter.. which she absolutely loved as well. Oh and their gf peanut butter cookie and gf cheddar everything scone... every bite was worth every penny!! The prices were very reasonable as well. I'm looking forward to going back in a couple weeks and will have to post pictures. If you're ever in the area or just driving through then this place is a must rest stop! read more

One-of-a-kind store nestled within the Clifton Park/Rexford backroads. You might walk in just hoping for a quick cup of coffee but beware - this place is too cool to just walk out. You'll undoubtedly want to take a look at their trendy gifts, many of which are reminiscent of the local area (e.g. merch like shirts, mugs, soaps, greeting cards, jewelry, tons of fun tidbits). Food is delicious!! My friends and family frequently enjoy meeting here for brunch (the French toast is my favorite - simple but obviously homemade with wholesome ingredients). Great selections of teas. Their chai tea latte is pretty tasty too. There's really nothing else quite like it in the area. Highly recommend stopping in! read more

Vischer Ferry General Store - Outdoor seating this fall - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rexford, New York

Been here a handful of times and absolutely adore this place. The chocolate chip cookies with sea salt are life changing and worth the drive from anywhere in the capital region. They are crunchy while somehow still slightly gooey in the middle and balanced perfectly with quality salt. The shop is the perfect place to visit when seasons are changing and you want to redecorate the interior or exterior of your home. So many quality handmade items and my favorite cozy crewneck sweater proudly says Vischer Ferry General Store. It's gone on every trip with me. I'm a nature enthusiast and visit the Vischer Ferry Nature Preserve often and it's never a complete trip without stopping by here. Makes for the perfect day. read more

My regular diner was closed for the holiday weekend, so I found myself in need of breakfast elsewhere. This place has been on "my list" for half a year and I just hadn't gotten around to it - hello perfect time to try something new! This place is super cute - half country gift shop, half cafe, it serves a small menu of breakfast and lunch items, with a plethora of baked goods and an extensive coffee menu for a place that wears so many hats. I tried an English toffee latte and their staple breakfast sandwich. The latte was *perfect* - could have used a little less foam, but the flavor wasn't burned, right amount of milk, it wasn't scalding hot, and just sweet enough. The breakfast sandwich was a unique creation, being the only such thing on the menu - a toasted artisan bun, tomato, cheddar, crispy bacon, and a half-scrambled egg, with dijon mustard. I admit I was dubious of the mustard, but with the sweetness of the steamed/fried tomato and the sharp cheddar and salty bacon, it was perfect. I'm glad I took the chance, because it was definitely worth it. Try this place out! It's not a full-breakfast option, but they offer quiches and waffles in addition to their tasty sandwich creation, and there is plenty of seating to take in the summer sunshine! read more

No cape and tights for me today!!! I've donned my best bonnet and my nice high-necked dress that goes down to my ankles and I spit polished by high boots. This quaint little getaway is only 15 miles from Albany, straight up the Northway, but it felt far away and like we'd gone back in time. This recently renovated historic structure (damaged by fire in 2013) was carefully and lovingly restored, preserving historic details where possible. The floorboards and shelves and lighting and finishes are rustic and serviceable and very cool and relaxing. Nice job. They sell wares - soaps and lotions and mugs and jewelry and cookbooks and stationary and old-fashioned toys, fun to explore while you wait for your order. Puppy ordered the Enchilada ($8.99), served straight up with a dollop of sour cream on the side. Loaded with chicken and beans, tortilla (of course), corn, cheese and something green, it was delicious, but it could really have used a side of fresh greens, and maybe it was a bit pricey for what it was. I enjoyed a Ham, Brie and Fig Sandwich ($6.99), warm and melty on a toasted baguette. Sweet and salty, rich and delicious, though the bread was just a bit too hard and crunchy. I added a bit of that sour cream and a touch of grease was a good thing. I like chips for breakfast. This made me happy. The environment is funky, family friendly, and casual - it feels like a place for the community to gather. Close your eyes and go back in time. Then you won't hear me when I try to start my car.

Vischer Ferry General Store - Great brunch! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rexford, New York

A very small but cute store. Unfortunately when we were there, the internet was down. Thankfully we had enough money to get a mocha and a chai, both delicious. Good for locals but not really worth the drive if you live more than 20 minutes away. read more

This place is great! They have made so many changes like the expansion of the outdoor seating to make it such a lovely experience. They have delicious coffee and food. Everyone is so friendly. Definitely a must visit. read more

Awesome little place, high quality food, down to earth staff. If your interested in helping local businesses, check this place out.

1853 (or 56) gorgeous old white building now contains some of the best breakfast I have ever eaten (thank you George). I had homemade lemonade. Roommate and I split a delicate breakfast sandwich (brioche, fluffy egg, roasted tomato, the best sharp cheddar and bacon), and slice of quiche (Swiss, bacon, asparagus, and spinach). Heaven. My taste buds are in love. Roommate had a huge chocolate chip cookie. My new local breakfast (or lunch) to go to eatery. They also sell jewelry, soaps, lotions, cute gift items. They had some paintings (from a local artist?) for sale, I wish I had the money for the one titled clouds, but I did like them all. read more

Delicious cold brew and baked goods. Lovely, calming vibe. Beautiful outdoor seating area. Great local gem.

Absolutely wonderful breakfast! The French Toast, oatmeal, and quiche were all awesome! In fact, we ordered three extra quiche to take home so the rest of the family could enjoy them also. Quaint and old-fashion general store with super friendly staff! read more

This is my favorite place! So happy to have had such a wonderful meeting place in my community. Great place to meet friends for coffee and tasty treats. Great selection of items for gifts and love all the unique events they have. read more

I wish we could leave 2 reviews, one for the gift shop and one for the food. The gift shop is small, but has a great selection of quality hand crafted soaps, sundries and assorted small gifts. All quality items and fairly priced. Worth the trip The food on the other hand was a big swing and a miss. Getting the food was fine. Order your food at the counter, get your beverage and a pager to wait for your food. All socially distant and well done. The coffee was weak, weak, weak. Tasteless and tepid. On to the food. The crust less quiche sounded promising but ended up being a reheated, super wet soggy and greasy mess. Strike 2. The French toast was similarly prepared and also not worth the 20 minute wait for it to appear. Strike 3. read more

What a great place! We finally made it to have lunch at this historic gem. It's cozy, inviting and the people were friendly. The menu is small, in a good way, ensuring fresh. They accommodate gluten free, vegetarian, etc. I had a gluten free ham sandwich with peach butter and arugula. My husband had the regular version. My gluten free vegan cookie was delicious. My husband's cookie was still warm and gooey out of the oven! It was fun to look at the unique things for sale in the store. My only wish was that I wish there were a bit more by way of showing off the history of Vischer Ferry and the store itself. The renovation was well done, while preserving old fashion charm. read more

Such a quaint little gem! We stopped here to grab breakfast on our way to visit grandma today. From yummy breakfast sandwiches, fresh squeezed lemonade, cold brew with lavender honey to eclectic boutique items we totally loved this little general store! We will be back again :) read more

One of my favorite places to grab a bite to eat - cup of coffee and checking out the unique gift area!! Each day they have a gluten free Breakfast and lunch entree and baked good!

Great spot for coffee and a breakfast sandwich. The cafe is adorable. Great place to find unique gifts too.

The food is fresh and homemade, I've never had a bad meal. The baked goods are amazing ( the chocolate chip cookies are insane!) You can relax and sip on one of their specialty coffees or teas in a cozy atmosphere. It's really a gem. read more

Great place. Iced coffee drinks, lunch and baked goods were good. Everything was done well.

This is the first time I'm leaving a second review for a business, but I can't help it. This place is just that nice. In fact, I'm tempted to say bad things about it so it doesn't get touristy and busy! We ended up here after a hike last Saturday and sat in their back yard at a picnic table in the sun. It was so beautiful and relaxing. The drinks and sweet treats we bought were amazing and the staff were super friendly. Even our dogs got a huge bowl of water delivered to our table which they thoroughly enjoyed after our long hike! read more

An absolute gem of a place!! Always fresh food with a menu that changes daily. The lattes are incredibly amazing! Louise and George have created such a sense of community around their store that we love coming here and look forward to all their events. We are blessed to live so close To such a high quality place! Thanks for all you do. - Dan and Ayesha read more

For anyone in the area looking for a new breakfast/lunch eatery that rivals Iron Roost. I found it!!! It's called the Vischer Ferry General Store. I ate breakfast there this morning with my 2 boys and it was fantastic.!They have a Facebook page. Follow them. Like them. But most of all visit them. Spoke with the owner she is very friendly. Their hours are Wednesday thru Sunday 8-3. They make gluten free & vegan items. Visherferrygeneralstore.com They also sell some quaint gift items. They will also be at Round Lake Craft Show this summer. read more

This is kind of an emergency review, since Mother's Day is tomorrow as I write this, but this is the perfect place to take Mom. It has great little tidbit sandwiches, very fine baked goods, a nice little patio out back (currently in the process of being landscaped, but pleasant nevertheless), and in addition to the coffee house vibe (with a common table up the middle) there's an extremely well-curated collection of giftables, including lots of local artisan/arts things from birdhouses to water colors to cards to clothes. It's a small but very diverse little olio of things at not extravagant prices, plus souvenirs of the store itself. A place that respects history but is modern in its amenities: definitely a destination, particularly if you're coming over to hike the trails, finally there's a place for a nosh in Vischer Ferry proper (the closest next one is the Riverview orchard cafe up the road, which is hardly as relaxing.) Warmly recommended. read more

Delicious coffee, pastries and lunch in a cute, hip, welcoming atmosphere. Just moved to the area from Cambridge MA and was so happy to find this place. read more

My favorite small town place to frequent! Great company and great food. The atmosphere is so charming! Stop in if you've never been!

Just stopped there to check it out. Adorable! Quaint! Didn't eat, looked good!! I would recommend anybody stopping in to eat or check out the unique gifts. I love to see local businesses and would hate to lose them. It was very quiet, we were the only customers. I will return! Need businesses like this, not all the commercial stuff! read more

A quaint, relaxed setting with reasonably priced and high quality food. My son and I visited on a Saturday morning greeted by a friendly staff. We ordered a egg sandwich and a quiche (ham&cheese) with a hot chocolate and a almond-milk latte. As our yelpers already pointed out the food is fresh and homemade. I really like it. read more

Vischer Ferry General Store is a home away from home, not just a store. I am fortunate to be part of a book club that meets there once a month and always go early to meet a friend and enjoy breakfast. We're never alone though. The store's ambiance attracts other devoted customers who relax while chatting or reading the paper. They can gather inside the store itself, on the porch, or outside on the picnic tables. The clientele runs the gamut from locals strolling to their favorite gathering place, to hikers relaxing after experiencing the beauty of the town's Nature Preserve, to teens on bikes and young moms with toddlers in tow. You may even see a friendly dog inside (which I love). You never know who you'll run into on your visit! And did I mention the free bicycles available during the summer months? Where else can you find that?! But wait ----In addition to the good food, Louise and George have a plethora of cute items for sale, many made by local artisans or local businesses. The historical setting, wonderful restoration, and selection of goods always make me feel like I'm stepping back into the 19th century. And if all that doesn't intrigue you, Louise also offers special events at the store each month. Want to learn to paint? To bake breads? To learn about birding? To do crafts? To hear from local authors? To keep the kiddos amused during school breaks? Then check Vischer Ferry's Facebook page regularly. Louise is always offering something new and different to the public. I have never seen another store appeal to people on so very many levels. Honestly, every town should have its own version of the Vischer Ferry General Store. Their community would be much better off for it. read more
