I am extremely happy that I was able to find this Jenn. The service was absolutely amazing and the entire vibe of the spot was great. I love the fact that it was in a old firehouse. My coffee was on par with what I expect from a coffee shop of this caliber. Now the food, was surprisingly good because it's hard to find a coffee shop that has great coffee and good food.

The chef is amazing. I've gotten the Pecan Crusted Bourbon Chicken, The ribs and several sandwiches. Never a disappointment! For an appetizer you can't beat their pot stickers. Don't pass on dessert! It's all homemade and even if we are too stuffed, we get something to take home. Favorites are their Chocolate Cream Pie, Banana Cake, Coconut Cake and Carrot Cake. My husband says the Carrot Cake is the best he's ever had. In the Fall go for the Pumpkin Cheesecake! Wow, did I just write a whole paragraph on dessert? YEP! It's that good. It's worth the drive from Binghamton for us.

It seems like you could get almost everything you need right here. They offered sweet morning pastries, there was a selection of cakes and desserts to bring back to our accommodations for later, and they offered a cooked breakfast and lunch (and brunch!) menu. The coffee was great, and we took some beans home. If you live locally, I read that they also offer free used coffee grinds to take home to your garden. My favorite part of the cafe, is that the donut flavors rotate, making things very interesting. I absolutely loved my little lemon poppyseed donut, but when the warm cinnamon sugar ones came right out of the oven, they absolutely stole the show. The burger for lunch was delightful, and the quiche was quite lovely as well. Highly recommend stopping in, no matter the occasion you will leave feeling refreshed with a wonderful bite to eat.

Sunday 11/23/25 I've…read morebeen on Yelp for many years. I don't remember ever writing a review, but the 'Catskills Coffee Lodge' showed me what dedication is all about. I had to share it with all of you. My husband and I were driving home via route 17 after a weekend in Syracuse; we wanted to stop for a break at the 1/2 way point from our home. We were on Route 17 eastbound and I looked up where we could get coffee - 'The Catskills Coffee Lodge' came up and was only a few exits away. We got off at exit 94. It was directly off the highway - easy off route17 and easy on- perfect. This quaint coffee house was immaculate, well thought out, and accommodating. It serves all types of coffee, homemade sweet treats, as well as simple fresh/warm and cold meals. You can eat there or get it 'to go'. I ordered a customized cold brew coffee. It was perfect. My husband got a regular coffee as well as a delicious, freshly made, black bean egg wrap. The young woman Jess, along with her sister Jeanine are the owners of the 'Catskill Coffee Lodge'. Jess made my coffee (I didn't know that she was the owner at that time) but she was training a new employee on how to manage the coffee ordering station. Jess was patient and kind to her employee and made the young girl comfortable. It was nice to see that dynamic. I was so impressed with this beautiful, little place. The sisters - Jess who runs the front end, assisting customers, and Jeanine who is in the back making fresh delicious home-made food have a shared dream. One can see how much effort they've put into starting something dear to their hearts - may this business continue to grow. When I experience something like this, I feel it's important to spread the word. These young women have a gift to share. If you're traveling on Route 17 East, near exit 94 please visit the 'Catskill Coffee Lodge' ~ it will warm your heart.

This is one of the most tranquil and relaxing coffee shops I've ever been too. The staff is great, there's only a couple young girls working inside, who me made conversation with, and they told us they were in college and working at the shop part time. The shop offers a variety of coffee's and pastries, you can sit inside to enjoy your snacks while listening to the water crashing from the creek, or enjoy your coffee on the way. This has always been a spot we stop at during our week that we spend up here in the mountains.

The interiors are tastefully decorated with funky wall art and pictures of celebrities sipping caffeinated beverages, with a playlist of popular songs from the 90s for music. They have a very small patio area out front and a couple tables inside, and seem to do a lot of grab-and-go takeout business. The staff I encountered were all very friendly, and menu prices somewhat reasonable. Since it was breakfast time, we went with a bagel (with cream cheese) and egg & cheese sandwich for food, and a mocha and cappuccino for drinks. All were of decent quality, so I'd rate them an overall 4.5 out of 5, and am happy to round up due to the nice interiors, friendly service, and cool, local vibes. The egg & cheese sandwich was prepared with a tasty bread that they said was made in-house. If you find yourself in downtown Binghamton looking for a local spot that's a good alternative to chains like Panera or Starbucks, I recommend a visit to Strange Brew Cafe.

They serve breakfast all day, so Meg had a Vegetable Omelet and I enjoyed a BLT my way, (Crisp bacon, American cheese, and plenty of mayo.) This is a good time to mention their himemade bread.

Because far too many times in summer, too many places serve watered-down or over iced tea. Not at Butterfield's. Did I mention the Veggie Straws? You must try them. We are pet lovers and were hapy that there was a friendly Labradoodle on the deck with her attending humans. The food, drinks, service, and prices were all very good.
