Rachael's Fresh & Local Bread
Cristina R.

Dan's Farm Shack is an amazing find! We were driving by and saw signs on the side of the road for fresh bread and maple syrup, so we turned in. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by a woman who explained that the farm shack carried organic products made by various local businesses. Seeing us perusing the loaves, she recommended Rachael's cheddar bagel bread and French toast bread - so we got both! She also highly recommended the Dottie's Delectables jams, especially blueberry, so we got the spiced blueberry jam along with Highland Maple Farm maple syrup. We also got to meet Dan, who came in to drop off bread orders for pick-up. Apparently you can pre-order baked goods and pick them up the next day - the cinnamon rolls with white icing looked amazing. We've tried everything we bought at this point and can confirm that it's all very high quality. Stop on in and say hi to Dan for me!

Madeline 1982 has only been in Lake George for about 3 years. The 1982 refers to the owner's birth…read moreyear. Now that we've got THAT out of the way, how come the ratings for it on Yelp are near one extreme or the other? That's a good question. I suggest you try it yourself since the odds seem to be in favor of a very satisfying experience. I can confirm that ours was very positive. We arrived about one hour before their 5PM closing on a Saturday. We did not expect there to be many baked goods left at that hour, but we had heard good things about the place and wanted to at least check it out as we passed through the village. The place is very attractive inside which explains why so many of the photos on Yelp are of the interior instead of the food. Not yet being aware of this fact, I too started taking photos of the inside almost immediately upon arrival. There was one worker still on duty and he was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the baked goods. We learned that they open at 7AM and the croissants sell out quickly. It doesn't seem like we'll every get to experience them. Among the pastries that were available, we chose a "cinnamon roll" that looked like no other I'm familiar with, a "snail" (which looked very much like the cinnamon roll with a coiled, spiral shape) with an almond filling, and a slice of a spinach and feta cheese quiche that we were informed had just come out of the oven. It must have been made for the next day's sale. All of this was taken home for enjoyment after dinner. All of it was delicious. The dough for the cinnamon roll and the snail was the same. I believe it is supposed to be similar to the dough used for a croissant. But it was not as flakey as I would expect a croissant to be or as buttery. This might be due to the construction of these two pastries. Being rolled into coils they don't have the opportunity to rise like a croissant. The quiche was light and flavorful. Hopefully, we may some day need to pass through at a much earlier hour.

I really hate leaving a bad review, particularly since our first experience here last year was…read morereally good. However, our experience this morning was anything but good, and I'd actually say this was the worst breakfast I've had in years. I ordered what is called the Benedict Maddie which is their take on eggs Benedict. This is my go-to breakfast and their version was nearly inedible. From substituting the English muffin with a brioche bun that can't stand up to the moisture of the eggs and became a stodgy mess of sickly sweet pudding to the curdled and flavorless hollandaise that left me feeling sick afterward. Adding insult to injury was upcharging for ham that is a core ingredient of eggs Benedict. This was absurd given that already astounding prices they charge. Sides were potatoes which were okay, but it was also served with salad that I was suspect of given the current health issues with lettuce. My wife was equally disappointed with what was supposed to be a French omelette but turned out to be an overcooked, open face western omelette that was more like rubber than eggs. Her $9 blueberry smoothie was delicious though Service was slow with only two other tables occupied when we arrived, although our eventual server turned out to be quite pleasant. Coffee was never refilled and the bill for two people was just...well...arrogant. I guess this place really is French. The two stars are for the smoothie and our waiter. The rest is pretty forgettable.

Had a much better experience here than the others on Yelp it seems. Came here for takeout during…read morethe time of COVID and had some solid food. Ordering was easy and online. We got lunch which included many salads, sandwiches and usual fried items. Had a tuna nicoise salad and a ruben sandwich. Both were excellent! A good helping of tuna which was quite well cooked on the salad. Well seared on the outside and pink on the inside. Ruben sandwich was excellent with toasted buttery bread. It wasn't overwhelmingly large and didn't make me feel too full of food afterwards. We also ordered a doughnut which was the low point of meal. Nice frosting on top and filled with jelly but the doughnut itself was very dry and not fluffy. It was run by a bunch of kids but they were perfectly nice to us. There is some seating outside which wasn't kept very clean of other peoples garbage and leftover sprinkles from the nearby ice cream joint, but it was protected from the rain and offered a nice view of the lake. We had a good experience here and it was quick and easy to order and not nearly as crowded and non-social distancing friendly as most of the other places in Lake George. If you're in the area, check em out.

Went for a run to look for bagels or pastures in the morning before the fall cruise. Not a lot is…read moreopen in the fall / winter in the morning - glad they were! The pumpkin bread was super moist and glaze just the right amount of sweetness. Blueberry muffin and scone were ok. Triple chocolate and peanut butter chocolate cookies yummy! Maybe I wouldn't go out of my way for it but it's super convenient and helpful during off season / when needed.

Last night we had friends visit us that we haven't seen since before the pandemic started. We…read moreplanned a socially distant dinner in our backyard since we have all been pretty much living like hermits. They brought a box of assorted cakes and pastries from Lake George baking Company. I'll admit, I've never heard of this place before. We made our dessert selections and I had a slice of chocolate cake. An entire slice of chocolate cake. The whole thing. I couldn't stop myself. Perfectly rich, decadent and sweet without a hint of dryness in the cake. I haven't had a slice of cake in a really long time and this was worth every calorie. The eclair got rave reviews as did the brownie and the Napoleon. I tasted the cannoli and it was spot on. There are plenty of leftovers, so I will have a chance to taste a few more things this weekend. Everything was beautifully baked and attractive to look at. Happy to know about this place if I need delicious goodies to bring somewhere in the future.

The staff were incredibly friendly, greeting us with smiles on a busy Saturday morning. We tried the cinnamon twist, apple turnover, éclair, mini cannoli, and the apple cinnamon donut (which was our favorite). Everything was delicious, and we'll definitely be back soon!
