The cafe is still open, just has a new name, Peggy's Sweet & Savory. Same owner, same great scones, cakes, and soups! Fabulous BLT and breakfast sandwiches. read more

Cute tiny spot with a small menu. I had a grilled cheese. The cheese tasted really good and fresh and the sandwich was perfectly grilled, but it was missing something. It might have been the bread needed a little upgrade. It was still satisfying though. I also liked that they had Coke in their cooler; sometimes these cute little places don't. One thing that was truly a standout was the blueberry scone. It was fresh and perfect. I wish I had gotten two. read more

Consistently great breakfast sandwiches, and I always recommend it to delivery folks, tradesmen or others who are passing through town, to grab a quick bite. Friendly, an excellent price point. read more

Excellent all around . Lovely ambiance , lovely staff , and great food . Make sure you try a scone ..wow ! read more

Of course this is my favorite place :) it's always nice to stop by for a cup of coffee, a pastry, and a chat with the sweet owner. I went here all the time when I was living in the area! The service and food are both great. read more

Excellent. 1) The food is excellent. 2) Got the BLT and Veggie Burger. I am a huge fan of their Veggie Burger. 3) The service is excellent. 4) The ambiance is unique and cozy. read more

What a wonderful place. I had a blt and my wife had an amazing egg salad wrap with avocado and bacon. Place was busy but food was served prompt. Menu is on a board behind the counter. All of the food is made right in the open kitchen. Highly recommended if you are in the area. Worth the trip if you are not. read more

I drove all the way from Rhinebeck to try this cafe. It was well worth the drive. Coffee was delicious and the sweets were a bonus. Cider doughnut was amazing. Will definitely return. A great find. read more

Family owned and operated, this is country breakfast at its finest with a splash of city sophistication. Intelligentsia coffee and fantastic baked goods make this small restaurant worth stopping for. The breakfast sandwiches make this place worth moving here. They also are great at catering. read more

This is an Yelp gem. We were traveling through the area (Bershires to Closter, NJ) so I pulled up Yelp in search of a breakfast/lunch/brunch option. When the stars for Back in the Kitchen appeared I knew I had a foodie destination. This is a small place just off of 22/343 -- the lower portion of a Victorian. You'll smell the deliciousness as you walk up to the building. The menus / offerings are printed on chalk boards behind the counter. I'm guessing much of the menu is home made and locally made and the coffee is strong and hot! We ordered breakfast (even tho it was noon) - so refreshing to order and omelette and select as many veggies as you'd like -- and to be asked if you'd like your onions caramelized! Yes, please. Hope we have an opportunity to return. I want to try the soups. read more

The food was tasty, the coffee was excellent and the woman at the counter was polite and attentive. The prices are a bit steep, with things that one would presume to be included in the meal fetching an additional and significant fee. read more

Lovely, yummy little sandwich shop/cafe. I ordered a seemingly ordinary turkey sandwich on gluten free bread expecting ye old boars head, some flaccid lettuce and tasteless tomato. Boy did I get that wrong. The turkey was fresh, oven roasted. So tasty and moist! The lettuce and tomato seemed fresh too - and the tomato actually tasted like TOMATO! How'd they do that in February? Highly recommended for a casual bite with not-casual flavor. read more

Yummy breakfast sandwiches and the nicest counter staff! Love that they are proactive about recycling, and love the gluten free options.

I love Back in the Kitchen and go whenever I can. Their coffee is smooth and rich - the best in the area. Their sandwich menu focuses on a few delicious sandwiches and does them right. I'm also a fan of their soups - chicken and corn chowder in the winter, gazpacho in the summer. Great baked goods as well - Peg's carrot cake is the best I've ever had. read more

They were very kind to let us come in at 3:30 when they close at 3. I got a mixed berry rustic tort that was still warm. The coffee was good. The workers were happy to talk about the area. I liked the place. read more

The perfect egg sandwich. Try it on a croissant. Cappuccino was creamy and delicious and just the right temp. Staff was very friendly. Love the decor - a great mix of modern and vintage with an agricultural influence. Loved the nostalgic photos of farming and family life hanging on the walls. Want to go back for more. read more

Great breakfast. Super friendly AND they have gluten free bread and muffins!!! We would definitely return!!!

Absolutely as good as it gets!! We met close friends for breakfast and had an over the top time here at Back in the Kitchen. Kathy and the rest of the staff were wonderful! Our breakfast dishes were exceptional and the pancakes, WOW! Give them a try, you will certainly be glad you did. This is a must go to breakfast place in Dutchess County! I am sure you will enjoy it as much as we did. read more

I simply LOVE this place. The owners are genuinely nice, the food is delicious and the service is perfect. I think we have tried pretty much all of the pastries but I surely crave the coconut pineapple scone! I'm like a kid in a candy store once I get my hands on one (it's the only pastry i just refuse to share...) read more

See all

Traveled to area hospital for work, found this place on Yelp. Being gluten free there is not a lot of options when you're traveling - thank goodness I found this place ! You can get any of their sandwiches on gluten free bread! Had the BLT and it was delicious! Atmosphere was very cute and staff was super friendly. Definitely recommend! read more

My absolute goto breakfast and lunch spot. Best breakfast sandwich around. Get the fontina on your breakfast sandwich.

Amazing place to eat, always gluten free options. Thank you for putting your heart into your business and making such good food!

Although i have only had Bacon Egg and Cheeses here I defiantly love the place. Great food, friendly service, and good espresso!

Good but not knock-your-socks-off great. You can smell the bacon from a block away - a great smell but indicative of poor ventilation. Other Yelp reviewers had commented on how much they like the veggie burger - I was told it's not home made, a basic brand.... read more

Stopped in for Sunday brunch. The restaurant is small and cozy. The wait staff was extremely pleasant. I ordered the breakfast sandwich which was two eggs, scrambled, bacon and cheddar on a ciabatta roll. A very tasty and filling sandwich for less than $5. Given the small size of the restaurant, seating is limited so pick a day when the outside tables can be used. Bottom line: stop in if you are in the area, the food is excellent and a great value. read more

Good food reasonable prices. Hate standing at counter ordering. But it it what it is. Coffee is strong kinda bitter. I usually bring my own when we eat breakfast. Pastries kinda pricey for their small size. But we go there whenever we can! read more

For starters, Back in the Kitchen has the best tasting coffee in the area, not acidic or dirty, just full flavored and good... excellent breakfasts and breakfast sandwiches as well as a tasty lunch menu including cold salads and cold sesame noodles to go... you want house made cakes and cupcakes? The best baked goods with a hose made doughnut to die for!... (they made my birthday cake! Great counter staff with the back of the house in full view! read more

We had breakfast here on our recent trip. We like the dishes they were freshly made. Small place not many tables, but we did get a place to sit after a short wait and before the food was ready. The eggs were good and cooked very well. Several baked goods that looked great. The menu is on the board behind the counter. You order at the counter and find a place inside or outside to sit. read more

Cute place if you want a quick bite before cycling the Harlem Valley Rail trail

Love the scones and donuts-always get my stuff to go since there are only 3 tables in the joint,but always YUM!!!!

Love this place! Awesome staff and Gluten Free friendly. Thanks for offering the area amazing food!

Great food, friendly staff. I'm so happy to have Back in the Kitchen in town!!

Top notch food - the flavors are amazing. Top notch staff - they are always cheerful and on the ball, especially on the weekends when they're at their busiest. The prices are just right. Can't say enough good things about Back in the Kitchen. Oh yeah, you have to try the sesame noodles. read more

Great spot for coffee and a sandwich. They serve delicious coffee or tea and the bacon egg and cheese is just about as good as it gets. Served fresh on a Chapati roll you can tell that alot of care and thought goes into each and every dish. All fresh and made here. And hey where else do you get to sit on a tractor seat when eating your meal. And I think they make one of the best Latte's around. Can't wait to go back. Enjoy!! read more

YAY! This place is my favorite place to each lunch out of all options in NYC and beyond. Great sandwiches, excellent breakfast, such good snacks. My only complaint is that they do not use Harney Chai for their Chai Latte - they use a different brand which has grit in it and is not as high quality. But that is nitpicking, to say the least. SUCH A WELCOME ADDITION!! read more

Simply awesome, they literally are super-human in their skill, talents and kindness as a cafe and restaurant. Literally want to go there every day read more

very nice breakfast and lunch place, awesome scones, fresh and tasty veggie wrap, liked my iced tea. will be back!

Love love love this place! The employees are extremely helpful, the food is delicious, and the ambience is warm and inviting. Wish they were open longer hours! read more

This place is a fantastic option for lunch. Delicious sandwiches and desserts (coffee and lemonade too). Highly recommend. Oh, and there were a few small tables outside. Really lovely. read more

We stopped here on our way from Connecticut to upstate NY over the holidays. It was exactly what we needed--a quick place to have a delicious breakfast. The food was good, the coffee great, and best of all, the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I love this kind of local spot and hope to visit again soon. read more
