The selection rotates from day to day, but he will make custom orders (like wedding cakes) if you request in advance. This shop is what you would expect in France: no frills, traditional wood & glass cabinets, no unnecessary frosting or decorations on the pastries--just deliciousness. Stop in whenever you can. The only thing to note is that Antoine only accepts cash and Venmo, no credit cards, so be prepared to pay and pay well for his hard work.

A lovely little cafe with a wonderful staff and the perfect menu. We stopped two days in a row…read moreduring our weekend in the Catskills. It seems like you could get almost everything you need right here. They offered sweet morning pastries, there was a selection of cakes and desserts to bring back to our accommodations for later, and they offered a cooked breakfast and lunch (and brunch!) menu. The coffee was great, and we took some beans home. If you live locally, I read that they also offer free used coffee grinds to take home to your garden. My favorite part of the cafe, is that the donut flavors rotate, making things very interesting. I absolutely loved my little lemon poppyseed donut, but when the warm cinnamon sugar ones came right out of the oven, they absolutely stole the show. The burger for lunch was delightful, and the quiche was quite lovely as well. Highly recommend stopping in, no matter the occasion you will leave feeling refreshed with a wonderful bite to eat.

Wow, just wow. Run, don't walk to Shandaken Bake. This is a very special place. It's a one man…read moreshop. The owner, Craig, bakes everything fresh and he really knows what he's doing. Everything we tried was so phenomenal that we came and waited in line for 20+ minutes the following day. He even remembered us! It's a small shop but they have a few tables so if you can get a table, it'd be a comfortable place to sit and enjoy. Cream biscuit- simple and perfect. We were all fighting over this one. If you ask he'll give you jam and butter too. Chive and cheddar biscuit- deliciously cheesy and a real winner. Chubby squirrel- if you like fruit filled coffee cake, you'll be a fan of this one! It wasn't my favorite. Banana crumble cake- this was a definite favorite! The cake wasn't too sweet and the crumb added a nice sweetness. Apple tart- this was well received by our group! I liked it. All in all, this bakery is amazing! I wish I could eat the banana crumble cake for breakfast every morning.

I love me a good local bakery, and Shandaken did not disappoint!…read more We were in town for a wedding and this little small business was recommended to us. The owner/baker is a one-man show and he is so so nice and friendly! The clothbound cheddar & chive biscuit was divine, it was flakey and buttery and the perfect amount of cheesy. I came back the next day for a second one! The roasted butternut crumble muffin had all the cozy fall flavors, not too sweet. Not a ton of drink options here, but just the basics, brewed hot coffee and a hot tea. Arrive early, as items can sell out, but you can't go wrong with anything he has available!

The reviews are not exaggerating. This is the actual best bakery I've ever been to. We arrived…read morethere like 5 minutes before they closed, and everything looked great so I wound up buying two giant sea salt/chocolate chip cookies, a kitchen sink cookie, a sprinkle cookie, and a small yellow/vanilla cake with chocolate frosting. I regret not taking better photos, but at least I got a quick shot of the delightful cake. It was all absurdly good. I can't get over how fluffy the frosting is and how perfect the cookie textures are. The woman working was also really nice and, despite it being the end of the day, I didn't feel at all rushed or like she just wanted to close up. Here's how much we loved it: My husband and I went there yesterday while on a weekend trip. Today, we had to get back home fast to beat the snowstorm, and we seriously considered just risking it and driving out of our way to go back here. We didn't (safety first, etc) but we've decided to order our wedding cake from this place *and* our wedding favors. Seriously, everyone should go to this place. Everyone deserves this magic in their lives!

But it's much more than a store; its also a restaurant, there is even a playground, a small maple syrup museum, and even a few farm animals. There were a couple of cats roaming around the perimeter, and luckily I was able to sneak in a few pets. As for the restaurant - the portions are gigantic, and everything is cooked fresh with organic, non GMO ingredients. My group ordered breakfast, while I wanted to get something from the lunch menu. I ended up getting a Philly sandwich. It was cheesy, smothered with onions, with tender beef, and served on a toasty bread. I devoured this sandwich. One piece of advice - If you visit on the weekend, be prepared to wait, because this place gets slammed.

MUST VISIT spot when you are in the Catskills!…read more Look through a massive array of homemade and local made goods at the Catskill Mountain Country Store in Windham. They seriously have everything. Homemade jams and jellies, honey, sauces, syrups and more! Baked goods, breads, fudge, condiments, pickles, and so so much more! This is a non-negotiable stop every time I am in the Catskills. I always find something new and delicious to try. Not homemade but locally made soaps and tons of other goodies. They have it all here. Candy, decorations, merch and more. There is also a dining area, ice cream, coffee bar, and even a farm out back with animals you can go look at and a teeny, tiny maple museum that's worth peaking your head in. My bf has been coming here since he was a kid, and now we make a tradition to stop here every single time we are upstate. I couldn't imagine going up and not stopping here.
