Then you get an ordering card you check off what you want on, then take it up to the counter. Waited at the register a rather long time while the person tending it chatted with another customer she evidently knew before I could pay. It is a pleasant place and they are welcoming, but most people would probably like a wait person so they can get their eggs and sides done the way they prefer them.

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.

There's a live band at least earlier in the evening. We were there on a Wednesday with a prefix menu - farm to table veggie meal with option of adding grilled chicken.

Food was very good, great presentation - delicious creamy cucumber soup, mushroom quinoa and peach upside down cake (at $44 and $50 with chicken it was quite reasonable). Fantastic dining environment. Will definitely come here again on our next trip here.

Service felt frantic and hurried, with servers being not especially warm or friendly. While it was steady stream of customers, the servers came off as annoyed to have us there instead of helpful.

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!

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.
