I wish I took a picture of the beautiful loaf of whole wheat loaf of bread we purchased! Friendly service and such reasonable prices! I would definitely be a regular at this sweet little bread shop if I lived in the area! read more

What was once a pleasant cafe with certain personality, and local history is now a cafeteria that gives fast-food, transient vibes. No longer the feeling of hosted welcome and stability. Sadness They feed you off trays and paper cups. You have to ask for silverware. Come on! The food suffers from an excess of caution ... or moderation. As a consequence the dishesacome across as bland. (Please consult you pantry of seasonings and juice up the flavahflave!) This was once a favorite spot. No longer. In its new 'cafeteria' format, the Bread Alone cafe is more like the 'food court' at the Bronx Zoo. Do yourself a favor and hit another eatery, otherwise, you'll regret it. read more

I was excited to grab something sweat after our dinner and didn't seem much was there at the time. An hour before closing, everything looked bare. I asked for a double espresso, which for the record is 2 oz. What I got was barely an ounce. I went over to the counter where this smug manager (I believe) said it was definitely two shots of espresso. You might want to recalibrate your machine or at the very least actually look at what 2 fluid ounces are. It was a disappointing experience and the employees seemed ill mannered. If I was a franchisee, I wouldn't be too happy. read more

Bread Alone Bakery - This is not 2 fluid ounces. Not even close. - Bakeries Near Me - Rhinebeck, New York

Their bread is fantastic, made with the highest-quality ingredients. All of their food from the sandwiches, pastries to the coffee is wonderful! The staff is also very friendly and accommodating. read more

This was such a cool bakery. The food was really good. The bakery was so pretty and new looking. Really enjoyed our experience here.

Great coffee selections and fresh pastries!! Staff is knowledgeable The cinnamon bun, almond croissant, and chocolate croissant are amazing. Don't judge, I just had to try them all!! read more

It was an excellent sandwich! Didn't much like the line we waited in to order however over happy with the experience.

Lightest crispiest bagel I've ever had, good coffee, friendly service. Lots of people picking up to go orders, bread looked great.

Maybe because it's late in the day, but I was so disappointed that there was barely anything left. No croissants, but I did walk away with a large ciabatta and Anna Claire. Very pricey as expected. read more

Bread alone is EXCELLENT for breads and decent for a breakfast or coffee. We had brunch today and have visited a few times in the past. Todays visit was pleasant though nothing was insanely memorable. Counter service and easy enough to find a table on a Sunday AM though it was bustling. I had the almond croissant (pretty delish) and the white bean escarole soup (good). The sour dough slice that came with my soup stole the show of course. My husband had the breakfast burrito which was good sized but veryyyyy bland. Our chai tea lattes were yummy as well! Most important take away is to take a loaf or two to go! read more

We got curbside pickup and it was super easy, safe, and fast! Placed the order online, called when we arrive and our food was brought out minutes later to the trunk of our call. Everything was great we got a variety of sandwiches, muffins, cookie, chocolate croissant, salad, hot apple cider. It is in the middle of downtown Rhinebeck on a super cute street with lots of shops / other restaurants. read more

Love the baked goods, but i can't believe that they don't offer ceramic mugs for dine-in. I don't want to drink out of a paper cup. The ceramic surface of a coffee mug is part of the sensual experience of drinking a cup of coffee. If you're charging $4 for a coffee drink, you need to offer proper ceramic or porcelain mugs for your dine-in customers. Baked goods are also served in take out containers if you're dining in. The beautiful apple pie is not served on a simple white plate. Rather it is given to you in a crypt of cardboard. The staff informed me that it "folds out nicely." I beg to differ. Very disappointing. read more

First time going here, got a bacon egg and cheese on a poppy seed bagel, absolutely phenomenal! Everything was cooked perfectly. Quick service too! Friendly. A little on the pricey side, but really good! read more

The four of us were sightseeing the downtown area of the town and looking for a light lunch spot. We decided on this cafe because of the great looking bakes. It turned out that the sandwiches were darn good tasting. The sandwiches were very creative and fresh. The bakes tasted good, but we liked the sandwiches more. The sandwiches were small which will not do if you are very hungry. We like to return for another lunch me if schedule permits. read more

Only a review of the coffee. Came on a weekend day and there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The line moves quickly and there's enough staff to keep it moving quickly. The macchiato is a small 4 oz drink but made strong and with good flavor. I recommend stopping by at least once! read more

We eat their organic traditional French sourdough bread exclusively at home, so any time we're in Rhinebeck, we come for a visit. They serve, Excellent organic coffee from local roaster, Irving Farm. Delicious assortment of baked goods and sweets on offer as well as a wide selection of their bread. Prices may be a bit higher than expected, but for quality organic products I will pay a little extra. We usually don't stay to eat - But instead, pick up a few treats, whatever looks good that day, and some coffee to go. Lines are always long on weekends, but the service is quick and efficient!! read more

Excellent service, food and vibe! Our go to for breakfast on our girls trip. We looked forward to it every morning!

My friends and I were staying in Rhinebeck for a week, and we ordered from here twice during our stay! First day, I had the halloumi & pesto on ciabatta with a large iced almond milk latte. I really liked the halloumi, cilantro and veggies in my sandwich - it was really filling and lasted me until early afternoon. Second day, I had the green egg sandwich on brioche (we requested this, you can swap any bread) and an iced coffee with almond milk. The mix of eggs, avocado on soft brioche never fails - arugula adds a great touch! We also shared some pastries like the lemon pound cake, blueberry muffin and corn muffin. You can tell they used a lot of butter, a bit too buttery for my taste. Everything looked really good!!! read more

A friend praised this place and not only did we stop here for lunch on our way to our camping site, but we also stopped here on the way back! This place is a myriad of fresh-baked bread and has some really delicious-looking pastries. They have generous-sized pastry samples that they rotate once they run out, so it was awesome to try a few of their pastries. Their Raspberry Charlotte was probably my favorite; it was so creamy and tart! I got the Paris Apple Tart and it was not bad, although I wish there were more apple pieces in there--after all, the Hudson Valley has a plethora of the country's best apples. I had the Chicken Tarragon sandwich with their rustica bread and it was really tasty and filling as a lunch, but wasn't really anything out of the ordinary. As far as their food goes, you can pretty much expect top-notch Hudson Valley quality with mainly locally-sourced ingredients. This place is super popular for brunch and they were advertising their local cheese plate and wine, which I'm sure is fantastic. read more

Horrible Customer Service Bread Alone delivered my order to the wrong address.  It happens, but the way they responded was totally unacceptable. Even after acknowledging their error, they made no effort to actually deliver it and I had to drive across town to pick it up.  Bread Alone refused to make the situation right and when I brought it to their attention, they took punitive measures against me by claiming a false pretext for future deliveries. All because their driver made a mistake.  They could have said sorry and made the situation right, but instead, they decided to disregard their customer. I hope to do business with companies that actually care about their customers/clients. read more

Great coffee and baked goods. P.S the fresh made sandwiches are awesome! Don't leave without a sleeve of cookies! read more

sadly the new configuration of Bread Alone doesn't allow for the kind of efficient and personalized service even during Covid. Some of the Prepared Foods are what you could probably find at Starbucks. You need to get there early to find the pastries etc you really want. and for some reason, they associate it w sesame allergies, there are no sesame bagels and no rye bread to buy in the cafes. The manager has an attitude. read more

The bread here is very yummy. I recommend the sourdough. I was in this area attending my daughter's graduation from Bard. The granola was a nicely packaged and was ideal gift for my cat sitter back home. read more

We got takeout on a Monday morning. Delicious coffee - Avocado toast was yummy and the bread was super tasty. Also had the Morning Bun and the Lemon and Currant Scone - both lovely. Even though there was a line, it moves quickly and you get your coffee/food without too much of a wait. read more

Does not accommodate allergies due to pricing points, and I am only speaking of condiment swapping. If your going to remodel your business then you should at least have the class to follow the decor in service. read more

Casual bakery and cafe that's busy throughout the day. Get there early if you want a specific loaf because they sell out fast. Sandwiches can be ordered on 7-8 different types of bread. Reliable coffee drinks. Avocado toast was gorgeous and delicious. Thick slabs of bread piled high with chunky avo and tomatoes and spices and vinaigrette. More of a knife and fork affair than finger food. read more

Mocha latte was mediocre at best. Awkward configuration to wait in line caused congestion at the door. Even worse, the baker's muffin or whatever it's called tasted like CLEANING FLUID. I haven't been to this place in a while because it is always a disappointment. Definitely my last visit. Go to the cute coffee shop next to the bookstore. read more

Absolutely delicious. Amazing find. I came here with my fiancé, her brother and wife for a mini weekend getaway and we were looking for some breakfast to go. I got the spicy green egg sandwich with sausage. I love the ciabatta bread that it was on. Flavorful and delicious. My fiancé got the egg and cheese sandwich. Her brother got the avocado toast with bacon (OMG, super huge bacon strips and nice and crispy) and his wife got the breakfast BLT. Everything was so damn delicious. So delicious that I forgot to take pictures. It was super easy to order. We ordered through their website and it was a pretty short wait - I think about 15 minutes by the time we ordered (we were driving to there so it worked out perfectly). I love how they had a pick-up area in the back so we didn't have to wait on line since they looked pretty busy. read more

They had the best breakfast burrito ever. The eggs, avocado, and beans were just an amazing mix! I tried the overnight oats as well- it was the perfect mix of granola and oats. The bakery is stunning- the renovations are amazing! It's such a great vibe- so fresh! The food literally came out in a few minutes. The service was great, too! Can't wait to be back at Bread Alone! read more

I have been eating and buying from Bread Alone for over 10 years. Something is not right. Both the farmer bread and a baguette that we purchased had large holes, I had to toss the sour dough bread. The croissants are mushy. Tonight was the worst. We bought an eclair to enjoy as our dessert and when I cut it in half there was hardly any cream..Things have changed in the last few months. Does anyone know why? read more

I am obsessed with Bread Alone bread and was so excited to visit their actual bakery and store. The second I walked in I was offered to try some coffee. The guy working at the store explained the different types of bread and gave me a taste of the various kinds. What a great experience ! read more

Jeez, I desperately with I had regular access to Bread Alone. I love their bread. I love their pastries. I love their sandwiches. Stop by, you won't be sorry about it. I miss you, Bread Alone. read more

Cute little breakfast/brunch spot! Came here on a Saturday morning and it was quite busy. There are some tables in the front but you mostly order to go up front. We decided to do a sit down restaurant style in the back. The avocado toast was pretty good. What made it amazing was that you can add whatever eggs you want on top so of course to pair with the avo toast, I ordered 2 poached eggs. It was made perfectly. A little hard to eat, but it was good. We also got the grilled cheese which was actually really yummy. They add caramelized onions in it which gave it more flavor. The breakfast burrito was also pretty good. The only thing I didn't really like was the bacon cheddar quiche. I'm used to a more egg-y taste and this quiche had more of a milky taste to it so we didn't end up finishing that. Overall, great place to eat, chat and hang out with some good grub. read more

After years of seeing their products on the shelves at the Honest Weight Food Co-Op in Albany I was THRILLED to visit their bakery in person! It is a lovely cafe with a tremendous selection. I wanted EVERYTHING. I settled on double chocolate cookies, chocolate chip walnut cookies, banana tart in a dark chocolate cookie shell, a breakfast wrap and a chicken salad sandwich. I loved the sandwich. It felt so wholesome. My favorite item was the double chocolate cookies. We purchased a sleeve of six and they were outstanding. Perfect cracks and crannies. Balanced with a hint of salt. The perfect amount. Rich but not too rich. Outstanding! I can't wait to go back. They had a blood orange tart I want to try next time. read more

I had a refreshing chicken salad which I thought would be a sandwich but it was served on a bed of lettuce with a slice of bread. It was a nice portion reasonably priced and the walnuts added a nice flavor. Spacious place but no indoor dining due to covid yet. Restroom is available for customers. read more

Pastries phenomenal, though a warning...they bake them dark. Some pastries, like the canelle, too dark. So if you're looking for blonde, barely cooked, American-style pastries, this is not your place. Coffee was also very good. Right in the heart of Rhinebeck so it was a good way to start our day. One "but" (and it wasn't worth taking off a star)... when a new customer asks you a question about the menu, and you respond "the menu is right behind you" try to say it a little kinder. The snotty attitude was not appreciated. I'm a person, you're a person...act like it. read more

I've always loved Bread Alone's offerings at the farmers markets. If you're also a fan and you're driving up north or on a Hudson Valley weekend trip, their shop in Rhinebeck is just lovely! The breakfast/brunch options are delicious and the fresh bread and desserts are so very good! read more

Bad flat white, bitter burnt taste. Heavy dense croissant. Had to throw both out. Service is lacking. Ambiance is cold. Giving 2 stars cuz I know some of their other baked items and sandwiches are good. read more

Terrific bakery in sparse setting. Neat art on the walls but tables need cloths, for those who come to eat in. Awesome bread goods and spreads! Rebel review: 5 read more
