Staying in North Creek for an extended visit, and wandered into Cafe Sarah for breakfast today. The first thing that I'm faced with is a pastry case filled with baked goods, freshly prepared this morning. Delicious! I ordered a piece of the chocolate zucchini, bread, a really thick slice! And she heated it up. I paired it with a tall cup of nice quality tea. My husband ordered the breakfast burrito and a tall coffee. We enjoyed seeing locals and visitors coming through the door as a steady stream. The owner never missed a beat, welcoming each and every person into the café. And greeting them again when they walked out. The atmosphere was friendly, the decor what I would expect from up north coffee shop. Nothing fancy, but lots of local art on the walls. That's also for sale if you would like. I like to see people support local artists. Our initial round of food was so good, that we decided to try more out of the pastry case my husband ordered a blueberry muffin, and I tried a cinnamon roll. Totally worth the calories!! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get pictures of our other food before we totally ate them!! I highly recommend Café Sarah in North Creek New York. read more

What an amazing establishment this was. I have never felt so loved, so at home, and so loved. The food was amazing and the lamp was incredible. I hope no one ever breaks that lamp because it was so cool. The lamp was really just one of a kind and i hope it's there forever. I honestly loved it the most because of the lamp. If anything happened to that lamp id be really sad. I hope the lamp is okay. Kids these days are so rambunctious and break things like lamps. i hope they don't break the lamp. Them kids. Anyway this was an amazing place and I really recommend. Bc of the lamp. read more

A must stop for coffee, lattes, baked goods. We love the staff. The open style kitchen lets you see all the action. The zucchini bread is amazing, and the almond croissant. read more

cafe sarah is so wonderful. i brought my family on a trip and everyone thoroughly enjoyed. I would recommend to anyone in the area!

The woman can bake! Get there early for maximum selection, cuz the goodies go fast. (Make sure to try the quiche. The crust alone is to die for, and you don't often hear that about a quiche!) Sit outside with your pastries, cookies, quiche, sandwiches, etc and enjoy the magnificent work of the North Creek Mosaic Project right across the street. Most excellent way to start the day. Or the afternoon. (Order ahead of time and you can get one (or several, as we usually do) of Sarah's remarkable pies to take home.) read more

Rude woman behind the counter - NOT helpful at all. Limited lunch options. Do not bother with this place.

My family and I visited this town two years in a row for skiing at Gore Mountain. Both times we got breakfast at Café Sarah. While the food remained delicious, there was definitely a mood shift between the first year and the second. In the first year, the staff was very friendly, happy, and even excited to see our two dogs, inviting them in for a treat. The second (this) year, there was a downshift in the atmosphere. The stuff was still nice, but the warm excitement was no longer present. We were also (politely) told to please leave the dogs outside (some members of our group had started to come in with them), as there were people dining indoors. I get it, and it makes sense that they don't want to be penalized and want to maintain a healthy environment for all (plus, last year, there was limited-to-no indoor dining at the café)-- it was just a drastic difference. We definitely would still return, if we come skiing at Gore again. As I said, the food is tasty, and the staff was never anything but polite. Just leave the dogs at home. The shit to energy may have just been from busy/slow season stress, in which case we hope all remains well at Café Sarah! read more

The server reprimanded someone I was with to get his hands off the glass of the bakery case. She used such a rude and loud voice that I walked out. Right down the road there is another place with baked goods, coffee, and better vibes. I hesitated to leave a negative review but I saw that this place had others so it may be a pattern. The pastries we got there were good. read more

Fantastic espresso drinks! Favorite baked good - pumpkin bread! Favorite sandwich - grown-up grilled cheese!

While staying in North Creek for a vacation we visited this cafe twice. The iced latte I got both times was perfectly made. The pastries - a blueberry muffin and chocolate zucchini bread - were super fresh and delicious. My 10-year old said this was the best muffin she's ever had. And I bought Thai peanut noodles salad to go - so good! A great little place - I recommend! read more

Yummy pastries at this spot. Fresh baked muffins and cinnamon rolls, so delicious . Great coffee too and super friendly service.

Stopped in for a late lunch two days ago. Bought sandwiches and drinks and went to the outside area to eat. There was a table but only one chair as another party had taken it. I went into the empty cafe and asked if I could bring a chair out as all of them were unused. She refused preferring a customer stand rather than carry a chair out and in. I do not understand that kind of attitude and although we have eaten there many times in the past, we will not be returning. read more

I very rarely write a review, but after visiting this place yesterday I just had to put one in. My wife and I walked in for breakfast and the woman behind the counter couldn't even smile, although we were the only ones in there. I asked a couple of questions concerning menu items and received a smirk and a couple mumbled answers back. The small little eating area was very uncomfortable. I will say that the egg sandwiches were fresh and tasted ok, but were overpriced. My burrito sandwich was really bland, but my wife's bagel/egg sandwich was better. It's really too bad that some people in this industry just don't get the fact that being pleasant to customers is a huge part of what drives business. Although this place is convenient to where we stay when we ski, my wife and I will not be back. read more

If I could give this cafe zero stars, I would. I have been in there a couple times and the service is always unbelievably bad. The woman behind the counter was miserable and acted annoyed that we were there. She rudely kept looking over at us as we waited in line and when we got to the front she was dismissive and unkind. And it took ten minutes to get two coffees. As for the food, if you want stale cookies and soggy sandwiches, this is your place. Just go to the gas station for coffee - it will be more delicious and the gasoline fumes are far more appealing than any scents at Sarah's. read more

Nice little spot in North Creek, NY for breakfast or any pastries. I ordered an egg sandwich for $6.50 and my wife had a breakfast panini for $9.50. To me these are steep prices for breakfast sandwiches and I'm from Westchester County and know all about over priced food. Overall nice spot, attentive cashier, and the pastries amazing. read more

Very cute cafe in North Creek! The coffee was delicious and so were the pastries. Absolutely loved the chocolate zucchini bread and apple pie!! Definitely want to stop by again and try their specialty lattes. Loved that there is outdoor seating too read more

Got there early on a Saturday and was pleasantly greeted. Enjoyed a decent cup of coffee and two well made breakfast sandwiches. We eyed the pastries for quite awhile but declined, not because we didn't like what we saw, but because we are watching our waistlines. Maybe we'll splurge tomorrow after earning it with some paddle boarding, hiking, and 7 mile rail bike ride. read more

Great cafe in town for coffee, fresh baked goods and sandwiches. Loved the chocolate zucchini bread, maple blazed cinnamon roll, and apple pie! Our group enjoyed everything we got and definitely want to go back. Great spot in ADK. Got almond milk option which is great for me too. read more

7 years later and I still have nothing but praise for Cafe Sarah which is good not just for here, but anywhere. I've never had anything less than good here - and her pumpkin-ginger and Chocolate-zucchini breads are fantastic - probably the best I've had anywhere. Besides that she makes great coffees, espressos, lattes, etc - and I've had the pleasure of enjoying her hot lunches now - which are good as well. (Still) Worth going out of your way to stop for! read more

So we found out about this cute little spot through a flyer stuck on the door of a bathroom stall at Gore Mountain. No smirks. I had a cup of creamy tomato soup and the roast beef sandwich. Very satisfying! Also tried the blueberry oat scone. The oats provided a refreshing change in texture to the typical scone. Jiaran says: parking was easy; no hassle, just right outside. Liked the way the bread on the paninis was grilled. Not only are the dishes presented cute on a doilie, it was very "at home" and casual and had a small town feel. There was also local photography featured and a good range of hot chocolate and mochas, plus cold and hot sandwiches. But also, there was a real bakery, with scones, pies, and cakes. Exceeded my expectations for a small town bakery-cafe. Overall, great lunch or snack break from snowboarding! read more

We rolled in right before they closed on a Saturday afternoon. Since I LOVE baked goods, it is a given we hit any bakery in the area when we travel. I went in to see what they had versus looking for something specific. We grabbed a blueberry scone-I really liked them better than normal scones. The texture was much better (probably the oats, as the other review said). The cranberry walnut muffing was good. Cinnamon rolls were also good. Nothing spectacular that I would be attempting to duplicate at home (ok-maybe the scone) but not too shabby either! If I were in the area again, I would probably stop in. Not in my list of top 10 bakeries but for the small town that it was in, which didn't have much to offer, it was good. read more

Extremely unfriendly staff. Very dismissive. Their sandwiches and pastries are OK at best. I'm not going there any more

The owner was impatient for me to order, my questions annoyed her and she made me feel as though I was wasting her time. Terrible customer service. I will not be back read more

Fab fav fav charming spot in North Creek for breakfast, lunch, or just stopping in for coffee & chat.

We stopped in this morning for breakfast. After looking at the few breakfast items they had, we decided to just get a few bakery items to munch on and then just grab a late lunch. I had a blueberry muffin, and my husband got the chocolate zucchini bread. It wasn't bad, not anything to brag about. The outside of my muffin was very crunchy. The taste was mediocre. The cookie was ok. It too was very hard and crunchy. There isn't a ton of seating, unless you want to sit on a couch. I got the impression that the staff was snooty. It was ok, but not great. I don't know that I would go back, or recommend. read more

I come here sometimes on weekends for a quick bite in the morning. The lady behind the counter is kind but off focused and is always leaving the counter to go and have a chat with the costumers. The food is good for a small cafe. It's one of the only decent cafes in North Creek. Would come again read more

I attended a winter solstice party and for dessert the hosts had a bûche de Noël that was purchased from Cafe Sarah. Only one word is needed to describe said dessert: delicious. The Yule Log was moist, flavorful, and delicate...the perfect dessert to end a perfect evening. read more

You can smell the baked goodness from outside of their fogged up windows along Main st. My mother in law and I came here for some tea and pastries while the boys were on the slopes. We were hoping for some fresh bread, but all that was left this Sunday afternoon was "Jewish rye" that was good, but wasnt made in house. We did pick up a wonderful mixed berry pie, sugary buttery and sweet, which reheats was great for dessert. They also have some breakfast and lunch sandwiches that seemed really yummy as well. We bought a lot of stuff $25 worth, but I found the girl that worked the cash a little snooty. We snagged one of the couches near the window which has a nice wide arm to put your drink/plate. As each shuttle came in, the place got busy, but I think on Sunday one of the few places open. Worth a visit if you're looking for a nice coffee spot or lunch. There not much else in the area that nice and local. read more

Expensive but quality- outside seating- no A-C inside- 16 oz. Carmel ice coffee was great but $5.89- yes- I would order it again!! Had the breakfast burrito...very salty! Pays attention to eco friendly packaging and the ingredients are high quality and fresh....we had coffee and breakfast here everyday. Service with a smile!!! read more

Sarah rocks! really good sandwich options and more than a few vegetarian options. Nice view of the mosaic mural project across the street from tables outside. HIGHLY RECOMMEND the flourless chocolate tort! It's Amazing!!!! read more

Got the breakfast burrito, tasted absolutely AMAZING. Hubby agreed too. Coffee was good. Service was friendly. Couldnt ask anything more for breakfast :) read more

Prices were very high More like NYC prices and food was nothing to write home about. Came for a few weekends stay and wasn't impressed each time we went staff was kinda rude which I didn't expect since everyone else in town was so nice. read more

Food is great, service was just bad. Lady at the front was loud and obnoxious and had a demeanor of not wanting to be there at all. She rudely asked us not to sit in front of the radio antenna which was right next to the table we were sitting at so we moved the table to the other window. 2 of the 4 of us had water to drink but there was no water so we ate our meal with nothing to drink bc she wouldnt fill it up. Once we were done, instead of saying "please move the furniture back" she said "be sure to move the furniture back". Why? Do you not want to move the 1 table and 2 chairs? Let alone move it back to where you ask ppl not to sit? There's 2 parts to the food industry, good food and good service. You are literally in the industry of serving ppl and being nice. It's not rocket service. I'll give them the food part but come on now. read more

Had a birthday cake made there for a 60th birthday, it was the most disgusting cake I ever ate! And it cose me $65. Should have gotten one at the grocery store, it would have at least been edible. read more

Had lunch here today after a morning of golf. Had the mozzarella, pesto and tomato panini which was good but not filling. The frozen caramel coffee was pretty good but the regular coffee tasted like bad water. Person behind the counter was not friendly. read more
