The bread at Beacon Bread Company is absolutely delicious. I love how cute and quaint it is, but just be prepared on the weekends to wait for a table. The food was really good, but one thing I could have wished to be different was my soup to be served first rather than with my meal since the table for two is so small. I ordered French onion soup and it was quite good, but wished there was more cheese rather than the cheese just being on top of a small piece of bread floating on top. The caprese sandwich was excellent on peasant bread with a basil aioli and fresh tomatoes. The fries, while homemade and delicious, they were seasoned with a tad too much of pepper on it. It wasn't really seasoning as opposed to to just way too much pepper. However, the sandwich was quite tasty and the homemade mozzarella was top notch. My friend ordered the vegan pancakes and she said they were decent, but not the best she's had. I would have no frame of reference there because I don't eat vegan pancakes. The coffee was strong and delicious but it would have been lovely to have it refilled. It was obvious they were down a person that day because they were busy and doing their very best to keep up, so I have to give them credit. I heard the servers taking orders and offering menu items as suggestions to people and they are all well versed in the food and very friendly. The bread alone is worth coming here. We took a load to go and ate it throughout the day. Fantastic!! read more

I visit Beacon about once a week to visit my girlfriend. When I do visit, I check out the Bread Company's wait and how packed it is, and if it doesn't seem over-the-top busy, it is my first choice for Brunch. Their morning cocktail "Beacon Special" is awesome, a unique take on an Irish Coffee. My S/O loves the bacon egg and cheese and the breakfast tacos. I was a fan of the breakfast burrito and especially the fried chicken kimchi sandwich, and the fries are always crispy and delicious. Definitely recommend. read more

This place is great! Everything was fresh and delicious. My brother really enjoyed his pancakes (dense and chewy) and bacon, and my nana liked her grilled cheese (although the cheddar used was a little mild). I got the mushroom truffle toast and added their beet-cured salmon to it... all so good! The whole wheat and seed bread that I had it on was so fresh, and their fries were really tasty. Crispy and not greasy! Their coffee is also very good. Service was a little slow, but very friendly and accommodating. read more

Loved this place. Had a lovely brunch in Beacon - they made a delicious London Fog, and the butternut squash soup is delicious. Their bread is soft and baked perfectly, and really elevates the meals you order. Great service and a clean and safe space :) read more

Considering that the owner, Kamel J., has decided to be rude and unprofessional in his comment on my review as well as on other reviews, my review has now been downgraded to one star. If it could be negative stars, it would. Believe me. This is a clear example of someone who does not deserve to succeed in business. Instead of taking feedback on Yelp, and using it to his benefit, he has decided to belittle the customers who do not give this restaurant a 5 star review. Instead of fixing the issue (the food), he thinks that acting like a childish high schooler will solve everything. Scrolling through, I see that he has told people that they need a "kick in the a$$" or that they should essentially shut their mouths because they have left their opinions of the food here. Before entering this eatery, see the owner's comments on reviews that are 3 stars and below, and decide for yourself if you want to give this sort of person your money. read more

Well, the table was not cleaned and the servers didn't even bring water to my table. I asked for water twice, but they didn't care. Eventually, I had to go to them to get water. They also charged me a 20% AUTO gratuity. I'm from nyc. I have never paid 20% for such poor service in ny. They also charge an additional fee if you use a credit card. I paid $20 for a western omelette here. I'd rather pay double for better service and a place. read more

Good breakfast sandwiches but literally the most frenzied and rude waitstaff ever! They were not accommodating and ignored us until we asked to order. read more

0 stars if I could. Please do yourself a favor, and do NOT go here! I repeat, PLEASE find a different place for food. I honestly was really excited for this upstate day trip and trying this place. It was busy, and the menu looked promising. Many places in upstate have a nice farm to table concept, and this place caught our eye because it baked its own bread. The servers are not attentive even though they're nice. Unapologetic about the lack of service and super long wait times. We waited a while to even get our order in, and then it was about an hour when we sat down to when we got our food. We understand that it gets busy, and we even put ourselves out of the city mindset of everything being fast, fast, fast. I could've given a pass on the lack of service if the food was just even good, didn't have to be great. It was awful! I could've cooked basic things better than that. The omelet was edible but bland, the ricotta pancakes tasted worse than if they were made of a box, and the sad excuse for breakfast tacos were mortifying. No meat in there at all, and the eggs were soggy. I wasn't expecting Texas breakfast tacos, but this was just so sad. One of the worst meals I've had, and I'd rather go get some delicious fast food than come here again. I've gotten way better food in the city for cheaper. I really don't know how this place is in business, other tables were experiencing the same things we did. This really dampened the beginning of our day trip! :( read more

A wonderful spot for brunch after a hike or if you're just exploring the town of Beacon. My friends and I hiked Storm King Mountain and made our way over to Beacon for brunch and some brews. Beacon Bread was wonderful and had great food with a small town charm. Friend Chicken Sandwich is a winner and some of their non alcoholic juices! read more

Worth the wait, staff super friendly, food is fresh and delicious! Granted, we arrived at 11am on a super busy Saturday and had to wait about 45 min to get seated. I'd say that wait time can probably be avoided if you call ahead and put in a reservation read more

Had a pastry from here once before that was delicious so thought we would try lunch. Not a good experience unfortunately. Ordered fairly quickly, quiche and onion soup with camomile tea. My daughter just had a small soup of the day. It took way too long to bring out the food for lunch! The quiche (which the waitress said was being cooked) was bland and had very little spinach....and was not that hot if they were actually cooking it. My onion soup seemed to be the average onion soup and was warm but not hot. I was not going to send anything back since we waited so long to get it!! My tea was actually hot, but the honey seemed to be watered down and very runny. My daughter's butternut squash soup was good and thick with nice seasonings however she thought it was too spicy. After I paid the bill, my daughter noticed that we were overcharged for her small soup. They made that good with a free chocolate croissant which was very good. read more

Stopped in this shop during a outdoor trip. Super cozy, very nice staff and the food was perfect. Not overly priced and breakfast was filling. read more

Terrible experience. I came here for lunch with my girlfriend. The place wasn't even busy and it took 10 mins for the staff and manager to take notice and seat us. They were too busy socializing. It then took over 30 mins just to get our sandwiches and it wasn't even good. Terrible place. Terrible experience. Will never come back or recommend to anyone. read more

My boyfriend was served the most disgusting "home fries" ever in my life. The texture was soggy and clearly microwaved. The eggs were egg beaters not even real eggs for a place that claims "breakfast all day" that shouldn't be asking too much. Waited 15 minutes for our waitress to come over but not only did she never come over she left for the day because they "pool their tips." We spoke with Rocky and he said sorry and offered 10% off. 10%? The potatoes were the majority of the meal and the eggs weren't even fresh either. This was more of a slap in the face than making the situation right, and no manager came out to even speak to us. I think they may be the worst dining out experience I've ever had. The place should close down if that's the overly expensive price they charge for crappy service, zero professionalism and truly disgusting food. *UPDATE* this was my word for word post on their Facebook page and their owner responded "hey f*** you a***ole how is that for professionalism!" Message me for a screen shot of that convo read more

Honestly don't know how they got such a high rating. Went for brunch 8/3/2019 and everything was terrible. First when we entered, we were not greeted by any of the waiters and were left to stand there not knowing what to do. Empty tables weren't cleaned of dirty dishes, but after a few minutes of standing around we decided to seat ourselves and ask a waiter to clean out the table for us. When we did we got such a passive aggressive reply from the waiter, telling us "Next time let me know cause I thought you guys were here the whole time." Service continued to be bad throughout the meal: we asked for two coffees, but only received one, we asked for steak sauce, only to have the waiter totally disappear, and when we asked a few minutes later he tells us "oh we ran out, I got caught up in stuff so I forgot to tell you." The food was disappointing and looked nothing like the photos on Yelp, The tofu scramble was 95% beans, not sure how they can mess that up. The home fries was a burnt mush, and looked like the steak. The steak itself was extremely well done and dry (we had asked for medium). Sat down at 1pm, didn't get our food til 1:50pm. It's safe to say we will be staying away from this place. TLDR, the food was terrible and the service was awful. read more

Chaotic restaurant workflow but the food was yummy! We had the ultimate everything bagel with beet smoked salmon, French toast and a sandwich (can't remember which). Wasn't disappointed with food, it just took a while to get our order in, and then the food came before our london fogs/drinks did. We had to ask for water and was apologized to a few times because of how long it took them to make the drinks compared to the food. Anyways staff were sweet, just the management and workflow needs to improve. If you have time to wait and you're easy going read more

Not great! We asked for water multiple times, never got it. Never got milk for our coffee that we asked for either. They didn't give us knives with our silverware. Also, the food wasn't great. The Beacon of Light cost like $16 and had very little food for that price! Bright spot was the cinnamon bun waffles, which kicked ass. But they were a special so might not even be on the menu if you go. read more

Found this gem after our hike to breakneck ridge. Food was amazing. I had a breakfast burrito and the French toast and my god were my taste buds blown away! Highly recommend this place to anyone in the area. Great indoor and outdoor seating options. Wide menu selection - not just a bakery as the name might suggest read more

I always try to give food establishments the benefit of the doubt, given that I know firsthand how hard it is to run a business within that industry, but the experience that I had here was shameful and unethical. Yes, I know it is a matter of small change, but it is the greater principle. Ordered the '2 eggs on a roll', which came with 'cheese' and choice of meat. Upon ordering, I specified that I'd like Swiss cheese, that I don't want any meat and that I'll have tomatoes on a bagel instead of a roll. My wife got soup and bread. After paying, I quickly realized that the total amount seemed high. The receipt indicated that I was up-charged for nearly everything. The full price of the sandwich ($5.95)....+ $1.50 for a bagel + $1.00 for Swiss + $0.50 for the tomatoes. Again, small change, but give me a break. I inquired with a waiter, who defaulted to bringing over the owner. A woman then came to the table (note: she wasn't the owner) and proceeded to tell me in a rude tone that the sandwich comes with American cheese and meat on a brioche roll. Review the menu; it just says 'cheese'. When I indicated that to her, she stated up a diatribe about how there are very specific distributors for cheese and so forth. I'm not making this up; this actually occurred. Has anyone been up-charged for Swiss cheese over American? Mind you, the cashier never explained that 'cheese' ONLY meant American cheese. I then inquired why I was charged for tomatoes when I didn't get any meat on the sandwich at all. Her very simple response to that, "That was your decision." Yes, she actually said that to me. A true class act. I pushed until I received a 'partial' refund (just for cheese and tomatoes), but how sad is it that this occurred in the first place. And that it took so much effort until she rudely conceded. You get the point. It was totally ridiculous, with her demeanor serving as insult to injury. And don't play the 'farm-to-table' angle. I know the business and I know the margins. This shouldn't have occurred. Shameful. read more

Fantastic food! The serving sizes are generous and all the items we ordered were very tasty. However, it's a small place and you can be waiting for brunch. Unfortunately there's just not much space to wait in which makes it uncomfortable for everyone (seated customers, waiting customer and waitstaff alike!) I ordered the Tofu Scramble which came with Home Fries and a toasted baguette. Excellent flavors and just mild enough on the spice for a pansy like me. Many people around me were asking for hot sauce though. I also got an order of Oatmeal topped with berries. It looks small, but it was actually a lot of oatmeal. I could have been very full with just one or the other, but I WANTED it all. My colleague ordered the Beacon of Light which honestly has a bit of everything to choose from. She chose French Toast, sunny side up eggs, home fries and added bacon. It was so much food we had a hard time fitting it all on our little table. Overall, cute and tasty but pretty tight quarters to enjoy it all. read more

Beacon has many good spots and this place can be included in one of them. I got the hangover sandwich and it was pretty good. My friend got the chicken and waffles with sausage gravy. I didn't try it but he said it was pretty good. The service was also pretty decent as well. We came on a Thursday morning. Within 20 minutes we got our food which is acceptable to me. The atmosphere is pretty simple but their is nothing wrong with that, especially when the food is good. read more

Beacon Bread Company - Hangover sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Beacon, New York

Went here once during the pandemic after visiting Dia Beacon, and the staff was extremely condescending and rude. They weren't making a bunch of advertised menu items in the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday, and the only thing to look at while they went back and forth with the 3 people on line in front of us about this was an obnoxious bulletin board full of borderline profane political virtue signaling/condescension about masks even as one of their staff had the mask down and their nose sticking out. After watching them tell every single one of the 3 people in front of us they had to order something different because they weren't making anything those people actually wanted, we just decided to go somewhere else instead and had a much better meal (highly recommend Meyer's Olde Dutch, BTW). Not surprised to come on here and see they cursed out a customer who questioned their pricing. What a bunch of vulgar and rude people...won't be supporting this business. Lots of better places to go in Beacon. read more

Busy busy on Sunday! Very good- the almond croissant was so buttery and had a lot of filling. The breakfast plates were good too- not over the top but what stood out was great seasoning on the hasbrowns! read more

This place is so great --the owners, the staff,the facilities--everything is warm and welcoming and lovely. We have been here several times while stopping in Beacon,visiting Dia etc. The food is delicious and hearty. The restaurant itself is pretty and comfy--salmon colored booths, two all gender bathrooms. Even when we stopped by as they were closing ,they were warm and friendly and helpful. The wait staff is great. I highly recommend this restaurant . read more

I was super excited for this place. The menu looked super yummy with a good variety of brunch items. However I felt like the food fell flat. Nothing was really very special. The flavors were okay, but not great with some items tasting bland. prices were so strange (charging $12 for avocado toast which doesn't even happen in San Francisco). This place was quite disappointing, especially since I had to wait over an hour to sit down. read more

Beacon Bread Company is just so-so. I truly wanted to like restaurant/cafe and have given the establishment several tries before deciding to write a review. Each try has only let me down. The waitstaff each time I have gone has been slow to the table. The most recent time I went was during a slower period of the afternoon and my waitress never even checked on how my guest and I were enjoying our food. Another time I had a waitress give a flippant response to me ordering vegan pancakes with a side of sausage. The food overall is simply mediocre. Not great but not terrible. read more

We're from out of town and wanted to stop for some breakfast. It's super cute on the inside and lots of vegan options, it can be kinda full of people. It didn't take too long to get our food but the steak was burnt and dry, and no one came to get our check. I recommend, the french toast was very good. read more

A fan I am of this very unique place. First, til it runs out, don't forget to check in via the yelp app for the free cookie, especially when the cookies are f***ing good... Best Oatmeal raisin to date, personally. Don't expect a complete standard breakfast, especially because the taste is kinda unique but in a very good, repeat visit type of way. My main go to is the traditional Bacon/Egg/Cheese sandwich on a croissant... (by the way, best croissants ever!!). It's always perfectly done, fulfilling, with a smile as an end result. Between the deserts, marinated vegetables, cheese, bread, jams, and luscious sandwiches (French Onion Chicken... what!) this spot is easily a gem in Beacon and happy of it's existence. One draw back are the prices which isn't dramatic but higher than usual, but once you go there, you'll see/taste why it's worth it. Last, people are cool and even that standard isn't common in some places so you have to appreciate that. Enjoy the delicacy! read more

Solid dining choice, for vegan, veg, and carnivores alike. Had the tofu scramble. Not super high in flavor, nice that the black beans are in it though, but overall could have used some sea salt or maybe ever salsa? The potato hash was very tasty though, as was the orange marmalade with their baguette. Not a lot of seating, but patience is worth it for saturday or sunday brunch! read more

We have NEVER had worse service in my life. Every single table that got seated after us got their food before us. After waiting close to an hour for STEEL CUT OATMEAL (!) we finally left without having any of our food because we could not get a straight answer about what happened to it...When we went to pay for our coffee, the waitress tried to guilt trip us by asking if we wanted to waste the food rather than wait. They never offered an apology. I am not sure whether our first waitress was racist, but we had my girlfriend's parents with us who are not from here and speak English with accents, and she was unbelievably rude to us. I have seriously never been treated so poorly. Do yourself a favor and go to one of the other great bakeries in town because no one deserves to be treated the way we were. It might happen to you too given there are several other reviews for this place that are similar to our experience. read more

Disappointing experience here...firstly, we expected more of a bakery shop based on the website pictures - there is a small baked goods section at the front for takeout but we wanted to sit and have a coffee and a bagel or pastry. We were led to a dark restaurant on the other side and when we looked at the menu there were no baked goods even listed. We had walked a long way and we're starving so decided to order anyway. I got the Ultimate Bagel Sandwich for $18.95 "house beet-cured lox, arugula, capers, cream cheese, tomato, red onion + fresh dill on a toasted bagel" - I almost didn't because of the price but it sounded good. Needless to say it was just short of terrible - two small thin slices of very fishy lox - which I had to eventually discard, a small amount of wilted arugula, I think there was maybe a caper or two and no dill to be found anywhere. The tomato was there though. My friend got the Two Eggs on a Roll which was ok but nothing special - for $7.95 that was acceptable. Coffee was decent enough. Our server was nice but you could tell that they were short staffed and the other gal working was frazzled to the point of being short with some of the other guests. The table behind us left without even eating because their food was not cooked properly and no one seemed to be doing anything about it. Overall the place just had a dingy feel to it and I cannot recommend it - hopefully they were just having a bad day. read more

Your dining experience will excel all expectations. From the quality and taste of all dishes to the service, ambiance, friendliness of the entire staff and the hospitality exuded by all will offer you a dining treat beyond most restaurants that you will ever experience.

Very tasty cookies. Brunch was good for the chicken waffles, very fresh and warm. The steak and eggs however was disappointing. The inside of the steak was cold. Not sure if they precooked and reheated. Coffee was really good and strong though! My server was really nice and patient and even replaced my moms soup to a different soup. We checked in on yelp and got free cookies read more

I don't know the area well, and I was here every day of my 7-day training (except Wednesday, because they're closed Wednesday, and I had the sads!). I had Katie L every time, and she was the best! They got me right in every time (even when busy), food was delicious, and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. I always chose indoor though, because I loved the vibes. It's a cute little place, easy to get to, quick and extraordinary service. Highly recommend! (PS- ask for Katie!!!) read more

Delish! Had chicken and waffles and the vegan pancakes with beyond sausage. The beyond sausage was homemade and soo good! Very cool!
