I've passed by this spot countless of times. I finally stopped by and it's a cute spot. More on the rustic side of things. We had the sweetest server. I had gotten the banh mi. It wasn't your traditional banh mi but that wasn't a bad thing! It was a special that they had. The fish was just perfectly crisp, the serving size is decent. The fries had the right amount of salt. I will say that what would really take it to a 5, is more pickled vegetables, and a better choice of bread to stand up to its contents. But I had a refreshing lavender lemonade. read more

Consistently tasty! Lots of options and a big plus on the gluten free options. Best place for lunch in Gardiner.

Stopped at Cafe Mio for a late breakfast yesterday w/ the wife. We sat outside, because we were with our mini poodle, but the weather has also been outstanding during our stay in the area. My wife wanted the House-made Corn Beef Hash and I went with the Apple Cinnamon French Toast (w/ a side of sausage). My wife also had a Pumpkin Spiced Latte. I went back inside to place the order and the meals came out after a short wait. Everything hit the spot, my French Toast was quite tasty, and my sausage had a crisp outing coating, very nice. My wife loved her Hash (some decent sized chunks of meat were in that hash), and she ended up ordering a 2nd Pumpkin Spiced Latte. Unfortunately, we had to cut the meal short because a swarm of yellow jackets descended on us soon after our food arrived. There was a warning sign about the yellow jackets, so this is in no way faulting Cafe Mio, it was what it was. We had a similar experience two days earlier at Lola's in New Paltz, it's just the time of year that these nasty creatures will be attracted to food. So we boxed up the rest of our meals in takeout containers and finished our breakfasts the next morning. Cafe Mio serves excellent food, we would certainly come back if we were in the area again. It is a bit on the pricey side, our meals today were over $50 (before tip), that's a lot for breakfast. But like I said, everything was Top Notch quality. read more

Waitress was friendly however they are overpriced. Asked for crispy bacon didn't happen, sent it back politely and received undercooked portion again with burned sides. Better bacon at Mc Donald's. Scrambled eggs were good. Got served large salad with vinaigrette dressing on same plate with meal. read more

Absolutely spectacular my go to spot never had a bad experience with service or how the food was! Highly Recommend such a lowkey spot

Went for a rainy, misty Sunday morning brunch, and the first thing I realized after reaching there was there was no network or wifi. In a way, it was great because we were in the moment and enjoying our food. The ambiance was a pretty cafe in a small town. It was pretty crowded as well. I overheard someone saying that there are days when the waiting is 45 mins. Thankfully we did not have to wait to be seated. What did we order? ~ We ordered the day's special broccoli rabe and beetroot omelet with a side of potatoes and toast. It was delicious. And someone who loves their veggies like me would love it. ~ Veggie tofu scramble - replaced it with eggs. Was yum. Lots of veggies with a side of toast and potatoes. ~ Nutella latte - one-word DELICIOUS! Perfect start to our morning. ~ To end our brunch we ordered apple cinnamon French toast even though we were full. And we managed to eat 90 percent of it. Overall, great place, with amazing service, and delicious food. Worth the visit. read more

This place is cozy, inviting and bright. I can actually read the menu without resorting to my phone's flashlight app. The staff is all very friendly and welcoming. They are almost always busy but since they've expanded their space I don't remember ever having to wait more than five minutes for a table. Which is good since it's first come first served. The menu is just big enough to give you some variety but not overwhelming. They serve everything with bread that is freshly baked, the coffee is delicious and comes in nice big mugs with refills available. I ordered the ham and cheddar omelet $14 my wife had the breakfast sandwich about $9. Both came with a salad. Mine filled a cup and hers took half the plate. The Breakfast Sandwich is definitely a better. Deal. Both had three eggs, cheddar cheese and ham. But there were four slices of bread and a larger salad. And $9 less. They tasted great. I always come back here but I'll get the sandwich next time read more

Stopped in for a mid-morning breakfast, with best friend, Pots & Pans. On his bucket list for several years. We both love the area and good food. Our expectations were exceeded. Ample parking, and spacious interior. Very warm, inviting atmosphere. Maureen greeted and seated us. Coffee was excellent. Although the menu is somewhat limited (for both breakfast as well as lunch), there are some tough choices to make. P & P opted for the Banana Bacon French Toast, served w a dolce de leche cream sauce. I had a bite, and all I can say is DECADENT! Like nothing I've ever had before. My choice of Homemade Hash topped by two eggs was awesome. Like a warm hug on a cold day (although not from P & P). There were chunks of CBH "smooshed" together with just the right amount of potatoes. One quibble - comes with one slice of toast. C'mon. Food, service, ambiance all top shelf. A bit pricey, but worth it. read more

Great ambience, pastas and desserts!!! Loved everything about it! Service was friendly and accommodating!

Stopped by this awesome cafe in our way to our Airbnb and I was so pleased! Their service was awesome and the vibe was casual and laid back which is my favorite. Their coffee was also delicious. The best part of it was the cheeseburger. I was either so hungry or this was one of the best cheeseburgers I've ever had. Amazing spot! read more

Great place if you are considering a stop for breakfast or lunch, however, small place with limited seating so expect a wait on the weekends or prime lunch time. Earlier the better or later in the day are best times. Food quality is significantly better than most cafes and restaurants around the area. Service and quality will not disappoint! read more

Ok, the food was tasty but they have to work on their presentation. I wanted 2 eggs over light and rye toast. I always dip my toast in my eggs. Simple, right? One yolk was broken open and thoroughly cooked, so no dipping that egg. Also, they only give you one slice of toast, and the eggs were presented on top of the home fries so the cooked yolk was blended in with The Home fries. Maybe I am being fussy, but I feel your food should have their separate places on the plate, not all piled on top of each other. Also, two slices of toast is the American standard, and over light means over light, not one cooked and the other over light. Other than that, the food was good. The wait staff were friendly. And the establishment was clean. read more

I adored this place. The food was spectacular. The drinks were yummy and a good pour. The servers were incredibly friendly, honest and attentive. The menu was full of creative flavors and priced very well. I adored my lamb ribs. Truly fell off the bone and were a total delight. The bf had the sausage and peppers sandwich which was hard to eat because of the bun. He ate it open face and was happy but would have preferred a toasted roll. The fries he had were heavenly and crisp and just the right amount of truffled to be flavorful and addictive but not overpowering. We can't wait to return! Skip Huckleberry in New Paltz and drive the 10 minutes to Mío instead!! read more

I came here for breakfast with a friend, greeted warmly as we entered and took my seat. the waitress was very nice and give us and menus and pointed out the specials. I got black forest ham omelet. the food was pretty quick to my table. as for the omelet i liked they put big diced chucks of ham, so they were not skimpy for sure, eggs were very fluffy, which is great since omelets are usually pretty flat. cheese was melted complete and oozed out. bread served was awesome and clearly freshly baked, love the rustic taste. side salad that came with dish, was alright, really wish they dressed the salad more with dressing. great breakfast/brunch for sure. read more

Again great food AND service. Our waitress was not only very sweet but went out of her way to accommodate us. (Food allergies) At this visit we happened to go at a good time...not crowded. There are good menu choices for everyone tastes. And all the food is very fresh, not overly seasoned... pastries are excellent..if you go, do save room for at least one of their yummy muffins. Highly recommend because of our experience! read more

This place really hit the spot. Hard to find with Google maps but you just need to look around and you'll find it a little hidden behind some trees. We were seated right away they have a cozy indoor area and outdoor area as well. My family and me loved every dish we ordered. The portions were very generous and the food was very tasty. The bread that came with the dishes was very fresh, we wanted more. Coffee was great and the service was very outstanding. Wish I lived closer. read more

Cafe Mio - Goat cheese omelet - Wine Bars Near Me - Gardiner, New York

Food was good ( apple cinnamon french toast and truffle fries). Trying to call order in was not. We tried to call our order in. First time I called sounded like she said " hold on" but didn't come back to phone as I heard her attending to others. It was 9:05, they had only Been open 5 min. I called back and she basically said she didn't have time to go over menu with me and to look online at menu and call back. So that wasn't the best experience and we almost didn't go but the restaurant was literally on our way home. Glad we went. But I do recommend Cafe Mio but they need to work on their customer service on the phone. read more

Cafe Mio is worth the time it take us to drive there from the east side of the Hudson and we've taken several others with us occasionally and everyone agrees it's worth the trip, even while grumpy from lack of morning coffee until we get there. Lots for farm to table ingredients with the farms listed on a board on the wall. Breakfasts are special, not the run of the mill choices. read more

Visited Café Mio late Sunday morning for breakfast per recommendations from locals. I called ahead while on the way to see if there was a wait and if I could put my name in, but the woman just told me the wait time and said she'd see my in a bit - guess they don't do that. When we arrived 15 minutes later, the wait head gone up from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. We said we were comfortable with bar seats if they opened up first. They had a few tables outdoors where we could have sat immediately but it was a little too chilly to sit in the shade. It did take nearly the full 30 minutes for us to get seated at the bar. Since we had plenty of time to look at the menu ahead of time, we ordered immediately as soon as we sat. The café serves breakfast all day and sandwiches and salads for lunch; they also had a menu of specials. I opted for the Goat Cheese Omelet w/ Spinach + Mushrooms, sub potatoes, off their main menu and my bf ordered a chili special they had. The food came out nice and hot and very quickly. The omelet was a hearty portion and they did not skimp on the fillings. The potatoes were crispy and tasty. The chili special was on the smaller size but also very tasty. The couple next to us ordered truffle fries and it was the largest bowl of fries I had ever seen! We both really enjoyed our meals and the servers were pleasant. My only complaint would be it took a long time for someone to settle our tab. Other than that, I can see why this place draws a crowd. Luckily it's in a strip mall so there is a good amount of parking. read more

Delicious food! Service is attentive and menu has something for everyone. Vibe is laid back and friendly!

During my entire time in the area, Cafe Mio has consistently served great food and excellent service. It comes down to doing all the little things perfectly and in over 100 visits they have NEVER failed to wow and delight me. In a world full of compromise and corner cutting, the people of this exceptional eatery remind us how this food game can be done right. They have recently expanded and I was happy to see that they maintained the same intimate vibe in the bigger space. The world class servers are my favorite in the area. In a world of Sunday breakfasts and brunches , this is where you bring someone you want to impress. read more

Great little hole in the wall restaurant offering great homemade food. If your not looking for it you drive right by. Atmosphere is very nice whether with a small group of 5 or on a nice brunch with the Love. Each dish has a unique flavor profile that will not leave you disappointed to the ever favorite banana bacon French toast.. to a crab avocado goat cheese flatbread. The 9oz grass fed burger from a local farm to the blackened catfish sandwiches are delicious. Bring your wallet and your appetite cause your gonna want to try everything. read more

Came here for breakfast... about a 15minute drive from New Paltz. Space is small but comfortable. Staff greeted us right away and is super friendly and attentive here. I saw they serve alcohol but it was only 10am when I went and I wasn't in the mood to drink that early lol Had coffee which was decent... they top you off during your stay. So me and my company both got the home made corn beef hash and we liked it a lot. It's a nice serving size. It's not like most canned corn beef hash - this was the real deal shredded corn beef that you would get in a sandwich. They put eggs of your choice which they gave us scrambled egg instead of fried eggs but it wasn't that big of a deal. I put salt , pepper, some ketchup and lots of the Sriracha sauce and I was good to go. Hearty meal and hit the spot. Also came with two slices of bread and butter which was good too Would come back again if I was ever in the area. read more

We came here (party of five) on our way to Minnewaska. I think we came here by way of a recommendation by someone in town, who we asked directions from. We came in some time after 12, and it got really crowded after that, so even though this is a small town I think you're gonna want to get here not much later than 12 if you want to avoid a wait. The choices are all great here and I felt like the service was pretty good too- the servers were a little bit too busy maybe and forgot one or two things, but they were all very friendly so I suppose that makes up for it. The cafe is also quite charming, and since it started snowing while we were here, it served as a great reprieve from the elements. Again, this is a good choice if you want to make a stop before driving the final 20 minutes to Minnewaska. I got the breakfast sandwich, which comes with either a salad side or roasted potatoes for +$1 extra. My server failed to mention that it was a dollar extra when I ordered, and while I wish she had, it's a negligible price so whatever. Everyone else ordered something different, but everyone seemed pleased by their order (the burger, a grilled cheese, soup). The breakfast sandwich itself is actually really big, and totally good value for your money, so definitely stop by here if you're hungry. read more

Food is awesome but the service SUCKS! I wish it didn't, but it truly does. Like it really sucks.

This is a bit of California fresh farm -all day brunch place. Cute place and very friendly servers. Very spaced out Covid precautions. Food portions are monster sized so if you are not very hungry, you might consider sharing. The burgers (we got the grass fed pasture version) was perfection in a brioche bun. It was toasted and grainy. The accompaniments was a monster portion of fresh greens tiny bit tossed with dressing. The star were the fries. Not to wax poetic about them, but both regular and truffle fries were utterly crispy, had the right amount of potato and rich inside texture, and "not using old fryer oil." Must come again. read more

Great local Cafe for breakfast and lunch or whichever you want all day. Fresh and delicious local choices. Love their greens served with any dish. My first dish here was a delicious homemade Belgium waffle with fresh strawberries and fresh homemade whipped cream and I was hooked from that day forward. read more

What a gem! I will be honest, I didn't expect for the food to be that good for the location it's in. I was wrong and never again will I judge a restaurant for its location ever again! We were just looking for a place to grab some food before our hike after driving almost 2 hours. This place exceeded expectations. Our server was super friendly. It took a little time for the food to come out but completely understandable and worth the wait for sure. Probably the best Corned Beef Hash I have ever had. Truffles fries were delicious. And, let's not even talk about that heavenly, mouth watering, heart warming French toasts. If you are around the area, do stop by! read more
