I love everything about this place. The food cooked in front of you is always great, the cider selection which is their specialty is amazing and the general store selection is well thought out. I'm always happy to drive just a bit out of my way to get there.

It’s a small place, it’s very simple. Fried chicken sandwich is fantastic!!! Perfectly fried chicken: juice and short and just right. Fried banana bread is a big portion, it’s interesting and good. Recommend. It’s a good place for a quick snack or food on the go. The lady at the counter was very friendly. Cute place. We didn’t get any beverages, so can’t speak to their coffee.

The atmosphere of this place is amazing, so cozy and welcoming. The owners, as well as all of their employees that I've met have been super friendly. Their service and their food is top notch. I've never had a breakfast sandwich on a potato roll before, and it's awesome, I don't want it any other way. It would seem that the selections of drinks, snacks, and everything else that they sell for the most part is lovingly chosen to be sold with health consciousness in mind. My husband and I have recommended this place to so many people in the last few months that we have lived nearby, and we have made it a nearly every weekend thing to go and get our breakfast there Saturday mornings, and whenever else we have the chance to really! It's a little pricey, but for what you're getting it's worth it.

Quaint little roadside grocery/diner in the middle of the Hudson Valley. We stopped down after picking fruit at Rosehill farm. It’s great for a nice simple lunch, I.e a grilled cheese, egg sandwich, burger, turkey melt. Simple classics that always hit the spot. I’m sure their specials are also great. The griddle banana bread was really moist and tasty. Chef does add salt to the top, which my wife liked but I pushed off. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Would definitely return if I was in the area. There are some local goods and beverages (alcohol too) to be head. Recommend if you are nearby!

This is THE BEST breakfast/lunch/bespoke grocery spot this side of the Hudson River. The cheeseburger and chicken sandwich are absolute staples for me, and the sausage egg and cheese with a hash brown tossed in the middle is probably the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had! Not to mention it’s basically the best Asian grocery store within an hour?? When you go inside it’s like stepping into a bygone era where the friendly staff ask how you’re doing and actually mean It. Hats off to Craig and Jen for this amazing spot they put so much love into.

Stopped by for a quick snack off the Taconic, but the spot's charm and Craig's welcoming kitchen vibe convinced us to stay for breakfast. It's like being at home with Craig flipping up breakfast and burgers while chatting with the locals at the counter. A variety of cold and hot beverages, snacks, chips, and cheeses - you won't leave hungry. It's more than just breakfast; it's a heartfelt embrace plated with care. Special shoutout to Craig for those incredible chips! A must-visit if you're passing through – until next time, old Brooklyn neighbor!

Amazing hidden spot. Need high-quality groceries. This is your place. Great food, too! Breakfast sandwiches are a deal! Ciders, cheeses, and fresh veggies are just some of what they offer. The owners are super helpful and kind!

This neat little grocery store and cafe is a gem to visit. I love the unique and high quality food finds they carry, and their cafe food is similarly high quality and satisfying. If you're ever in the area be sure to stop by!
