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.

I did not expect to be so charmed by this place. You step into a cozy country shop filled with…read morebaked goods, toys, home decor, jams, hot sauces, jellies, apparel, and more. 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.

It wasn't too busy when we arrived in middle of the afternoon, and we were warmly greeted. You place your order at the counter and then seat yourself. Water and cups are out too. I went with the Pad Thai ($27 with chicken) and also got to try some of the fried chicken ($17), a special. Prices seemed a little high but the dishes were delicious, with portions being reasonable and the Pad Thai not being overwhelmingly sweet. The fried chicken was magically crunchy outside and moist inside, with an irresistible dipping sauce not too cilantro-y. The Windham Local has a parking lot off to the side, but there was ample street parking too. And a shop proprietor later told us that The Windham Local is her place to eat in town!

I absolutely loved stopping here for our last breakfast in town before starting the long journey…read moreback. Coffees were delicious and strong and the breakfast burrito was truly the best breakfast burrito I think I've ever had. The space is so cute. I read on their website while planning the weekend that they are open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and have live music on the weekends. It looks like they do it all. We stopped in early and had our choice of tables. The space is big, clean and perfectly calm. Great spot for a slow breakfast. After ordering at the counter, they brought everything over to our table. I got the oatmeal bowl. Delicious and simple. However, I couldn't help but steal many many bites of the breakfast burrito. Seriously, get it! A great spot with good food, a friendly team and a cozy vibe.

We all thought - if you're the only place in town, chances are the reviews will be good - but I'm happy to say that's NOT the case here. The ice cream was legitimately good, well priced, and the staff was friendly. There's plenty of parking, a few tables, and the whole vibe was just right (tonight, anyway!) Our group of 6 got 4 Hurricane Irene sundaes (if you know, you know - also, a nod to the sense of humor!), I got a Taryn sundae (flavor contest winner) and we got a dish of chocolate. They do it RIGHT. The dish of chocolate had Jimmies in the bottom of the dish, ice cream, jimmies on top and THEN whipped cream - so you get jimmies in every bite! The sundaes were loaded with hot fudge, lots of the add ins, and packed with ice cream. Phew! While I'm not surprised how wordy I got, it's also kinda ridiculous. But G Jimmies is clearly a community joint, AND they have great ice cream. Please support these local places!

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.

The cake was chocolate and had a chocolate fudge taste though it was light and I could taste the vanilla in the icing and decorative flowers.

I have three major issues with this hotel: not friendly, doesn't honor billing methods advertised,…read moreand not clean. 1: The staff in the main office have no idea that they are working in the hospitality industry. They are rude, unfriendly, skip phrases like welcome and thank you. I was not asked if I liked my stay, and it was clear that charging my credit card was the highest priority... I have no problems paying my bills and they just seemed to make this a confrontational issue for no reason!!! 2: I made my reservation though Priceline.com using my American Express card. The hotel staff called my "work number" instead of my cell number to inform me that they were going to refuse to charge my American Express card after my reservation was confirmed on Priceline.com. Luckily I called the hotel to verify my reservation and the hotel staff then demanded another card from me with no apology stating they they "do not accept American Express". Obviously this hotel is not in compliance with Priceline policy and is violating their agreement. I will take this up with Priceline as well! 3: if you like killing flies in your room in the middle of winter you will love your room! Because I killed three flies in my room and was amazed to see them with snow on the ground outside! This hotel will advertise old charm but I would say its better said that this hotel is old and falling apart. In summary If you don't expect hotel staff to smile or respect you, honor your reservation made through 3rd parties, or the billing methods that they are elected to accept then is is the hotel for you! E bugs in your room are just a bonus!!!

I'd recommend stopping here if you're in the area and want to grab essentials or snacks for the road.

I ordered the butterfly pea matcha latte, which was a summer special. I ordered it hot, but they accidentally made it iced, so I had to ask for a new one. The drink was quite watery and the matcha flavor didn't come through much, so I wouldn't recommend it. To eat, I got egg, cheese, and avocado on a croissant. The croissant was super flaky and all the ingredients were freshly prepared. My husband got the breakfast burrito and said it was tasty as well. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoors, they have several large picnic benches, as well as two and four seaters on a sunny patio.
