We just love The Lost Lamb!…read more We visit the area often from Upstate NY and on every visit a meal and/or goodies to take home from here are a must. The staff are professional and kind. The owner is talented and personable. The overall vibe is adorable and welcoming. The food is amazing and comforting. What more can you ask for? Some of our favorites are the chocolate chip cookies, ANYTHING chocolate cake (the bundt or any chocolate cupcake), and the roasted red pepper sandwich on their homemade baguette. The coffee and espresso drinks are also great. But everything we have tried? Has been so good! You truly can't go wrong. There's usually a wait, but I hope this review makes it abundantly clear it's worth it!

I must admit, I've never had a croissant quite like it nor have I ever devoured one quite as fast. It paired so incredibly well with the ice tea. It wasn't for a promise to get some for my family, I would have eated at least half! I loved how dog friendly they were while having plenty of casual outdoor seating as well. I can't wait to try their coffees next time!

Some savory options are available like veggie and cheese quiche and croissants to pork sausage hand pies. There is freshly baked bread in addition to the sweet options like fruit hand pies, tortes and tarts. Behind the counter you can see all the action where everything is baked, which is super cool. They do not have any drink options so you might want to plan on picking something up before or after if you're looking to devour these tasty treats immediately after exiting the store! The staff are super nice and offered great suggestions. Stop by and pick up some treats and you won't be disappointed!

We ordered a red velvet cake weeks ahead for my son's birthday…read more While the outside of the cake is pretty. The inside was not red. It was a weird dark brown color. Doesn't look like a red velvet cake. The cake was firm and the cream cheese icing were not too sweet which we like. I gave it 3 stars because we can not get over the fact that they would even let a dark brown color batter passed as red velvet is totally unprofessional and unforgivable. It is fair. 1 star for staff being nice, 1 star for cake in being not overly sweet, and 1 star for icing for being not sweet and strong cream cheese flavor.

My first order was the Margarita Limon cake for my birthday last year, and I've since ordered several more flavors for myself and I've sent some as gifts too. They are consistently excellent cakes (well-packaged for shipping, too, which isn't easy), and they are always moist and packed with flavor. Margarita Limon remains my favorite, but Chocolate Borracha is a close second. And the Cranberry Orange cake at Christmas is destined to become a new holiday tradition in our family. I only wish we lived in the Albany area so I could grab one anytime! They also freeze really well. In fact, we have one mini cake in our freezer right now.

Stonykill Coffee & Records open recently in Chatham, upstairs over the People's Pub on Main Street…read more This coffee house and record shop has an inviting atmosphere with a classic feel, hardwood floors, and old furnishings. There are a few tables and seating along the front window overlook Main Street. There is also outside table seating in front of the building. They offer a selection of vintage records, books, CDs, cassettes, Gimme Coffee beans, and miscellaneous vintage merch & Stonykill mugs. For drinks & food, they offer fresh brewed hot & iced coffee/espresso drinks, lattes, tea, hot chocolate and a selection of baked goods. While my local home was having a showing, I took a drive to Columbia County and made a stop at Stonykill Coffee & Records for something with caffeine. I ordered a Cold Brew ($5 plus tax) and enjoyed this cold drink without cream & sugar outside in front, with a pastry I picked up from another local bakery business. The cold brew was strong and refreshing, just what I needed to start my long day.
