This place is an absolute gem and was a highlight of my recent trip to the area. I was staying in New Paltz and looking for a spot to grab some lunch and maybe get a little work done. I found Karma Road on Yelp--a vegan cafe? Yes, please. It's a small cafe with a few tables inside as well as a few outside. When I arrived, the outdoor seating was full but there was a few tables available inside that were perfect for my needs (dining and working). It's an order at the counter set up. I knew I wanted a sandwich and was leaning toward an avocado sandwich they had on menu. The worker was excessively kind and welcoming. Upon hearing it was my first time there, they asked if I might like a recommendation. I mentioned I was thinking of getting a sandwich. They shared that they're favorite sandwich was the baked tofu. I asked if I could get it with avocado added, they enthusiastically recommended I do so! I did, and my goodness--that sandwich was outta this world. It was absolutely divine. It came with some cucumbers that were seasoned and seemed to have maybe a squeeze of citrus as well? I truly don't know what they had on them but what a simple yet absolutely astoundingly fresh and fabulous side. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or simply like good food--seriously, give this gem a shot. It is well worth the stop. Get to it! read more

If you are looking for something light after a tiring hike, the one that leaves your stomach unsure that it will accept a heavy or light lunch. Look no further; Blackend tofu, curried zucchini, cucumber salad with dill and tempeh bacon are the perfect things I wish to have after a hike. They are perfectly made, not oily but still flavorful; just the right spice to let the flavors come through. The stomach is happy, a light casual ambiance and no dead animals :) read more

I went to college in New Paltz and during that time, Karma Road was a staple! I'm not vegan personally, but I have lots of friends who are and this has been a great place to go with them when they were visiting me while I was in college. Plus, you don't need to be vegan to enjoy some of the delicious and healthy food here! My two favorites- sweet potato biscuit toasted with earth balance (I literally dream about this sometimes...it hurts that I live on the West coast now) and their Chocolate in my peanut butter smoothie. I'd definitely recommend checking out karma road if ever in the New Paltz area. You won't regret it! read more

This spot is our GO TO when we're in the New Paltz area! This place is ESPECIALLY great if you come STARVING after a hike! My boyfriend LOVES the Climber's Plate. It's MASSIVE and has so many things going on! It has roasted potatoes, tofu scramble, beans, grains, vegan cheese, salsa, and toast. He adds Tempeh Bacon. definitely pick at his whenever we go. The vegan cheese they use reminds me of a sharp cheddar..? It definitely overpowers a lot of the flavor of the dish, but I mean that in the BEST way ever!!! It's amazing. I get the Tempeh Bacon and Tofu Scramble Sandwich. If you're not ABSOLUTELY starving or hungry enough to eat the Climber's Plate this is a great option as well!

Early morning stop on the way to Minnewaska for a big hike. Breakfast burrito was great and we grabbed a bowl for lunch during our hike which was equally great. Much more important to me was the kindness expressed by what I believe was the owner of Karma Road. My Autistic son had a tiny little Autistic moment and let's just say the one worker did not have her right balance of morning coffee, based on her response. I did not complain, as my son (and me) made a mistake, and we literally paid for it. It happens in the complexities of dealing with Autism. The owner came out as we were eating breakfast and literally could not have been nicer, rectified the situation without me asking or saying anything, and she now has a customer for life. We will be back and #AutismFriendly places really are appreciated in this world. Thanks Karma Road, and the food was really great too. Mike and Dusty Sweeney read more

My favorite place to stop whenever I'm in New Paltz. Health conscious options for vegetarians and vegans. They offer juices, smoothies, coffee/tea, wraps, burritos, sandwiches, soups, and they have a deli counter where you can choose a combo of different sides. They also have some house-made baked goods. Everything is labeled so you can easily tell what is vegan and what is not. Their sweet potato biscuits are seriously the most incredible things you will ever eat. I always get two ;). This is a wonderful spot to hit after a hike at Minnewaska. Perfectly located in the heart of New Paltz The place itself is pretty small, with some indoor and outdoor seating. Really great energy inside, with colorful and loving decor. The kitchen is open and the chefs are right there to answer any questions you might have about the food. The staff is super laid back and friendly, always have a great experience with them. You get your food pretty quickly and you can taste that it's made with love.

Amazing food, friendly service! Hands down my favorite place to get breakfast in New Paltz, and one of the best places to eat there overall. I often stop by to get a breakfast burrito or sandwich on the way to go climbing, sometimes coffee or a smoothie also. Everything is always great. Their muffins make a great snacks as well. The place is entirely vegan, but my nonvegan friends enjoy the food also. Service can be a bit slow when it's busy, but if you're in a rush you can call ahead and they'll have your food waiting for you. Very nice atmosphere inside or on the patio on a nice day. If there's any downside, is that it's easy to spend a lot of money here, but that's only because all the food is so good! Pricing is definitely reasonable for what you get. read more

Lagusta's in New Paltz has always been on my radar- even back when I lived in Westchester. Now that…read moreI'm up in the sticks, it's kind of nice knowing I'm closer to them. So one day on my lunch break, I decided to finally swing by and see what they're all about- especially since their whole thing is chocolate. The space inside is cozy with a nice cocoa aroma that almost wraps around you like a blanket. This isn't just a chocolate cafe- it's a nice little wonderland where cocoa is the soul, but not the whole story. Alongside their truffles, you'll find hot chocolate, brownies, pastries, etc- all Vegan. I was really looking forward to the chocolate truffles, but the chewy texture threw me off. I expected that smooth, melt-in-your-mouth center like the classic ones. And I get it- these folks are completely vegan- even so, I hoped for a similar consistency in these- veganized of course. And I couldn't leave without trying the hot chocolate. Theirs needed more cocoa oomph. Still, the service was solid and the staff was great.

Ok so all began with basically everything house made. Milks, syrups, chocolates. Options of chocolates are wild. I of course had to grab a few and was utterly blown away but the flavors. Keep in mind, these are vegan. I normally don't do vegan. These were amazing. Spent 3 times as much on chocolates as coffee. No regrets. This is a paradise of sweets, little treats and coffee. What more could you need? Unfortunately no pictures. Didn't have enough brain power to pull out a phone while nibbling on delectable treats. So yea don't walk here. Run!!!

A cafe needed some games. Then it needed a lot of games. Then it needed food. And drink. And more games. Now they're roasting their own coffee. The inertia is palpable. But, none of that really matters. Anyone can come in and pay a modest price for great coffee, and choose a board game and lose themselves in it. It's that simple. The perfect rainy day activity when you can't climb. GGG for life!

The wall of games!!! So many to choose from. A great escape from electronics.

Front of cafe , there were more tables and couches in the back area as well.

Every other time I've been there the staff had been very kind and helpful always very nice and quick. I'm very disappointed that this is the first time I've had a bad experience here and it was all because of the owner. Baked goods and bagel are always delicious but the sandwiches are extremely low quality (the eggs are microwaved (yuck!!)). The atmosphere with her there was very stressful and unpleasant she should learn to not interact with customers or staff at that.

The whole concept if this place is spectacular. A spooky vintage boutique and bar, offering sake,…read morecraft beer, handcrafted cocktails, mocktails, matcha, kombucha, coffee, tea and interesting bar bites. After dinner we were looking for a decent bar to enjoy a quick drink before heading home. This place surpassed our expectations by a mile. Neon lights, edgy signs and the aroma of incense draw you in. The bar keeper greets you under the disco ball. You take a look around, cool clothes and even better decor. The bar is set up with mint infused water and glasses. I love the attention to detail, and anticipation of customer needs. After talking to the bartender; Thomas about their cocktail options, I settled on a draft IPA, although I had my eye on their Filthy Twisted Martini. Thomas described it as breaking all the trad martini rules and it sounded delicious, but he let me know it did have a bit of spice. I couldn't tolerate anymore spice so I decided to try that one another time. My Wife ordered their botanical lemonade, she loved it, describing it as the best lemonade she ever had. Y'all!! It's delicious, a must try, with the option to have it with or without alcohol. We decided to sit on their rooftop patio, people watching and enjoying the cool summer evening. Bathrooms were super clean. Parking on the street. This place will be on my mind until the next time I'm there. Signed, The Happy Hour Huntress

There are a number of shaded tables outside but it was a title windy so we opted to sit indoors. The hostess was friendly and we were seated, immediately. You order at the punter and food is delivered to your table. Lots of yummy options and a few specials too. I wanted to try at least four different things! Opted for the turkey and Brie. House salad as my side. Everything was delicious! The other options our table - chicken pita, steak quesadilla and short ribs grilled cheese were equally great. Numerous drink options - from a variety of teas and soda to Poppi, water and beer.

The choice of music isn't to our liking. We could deal with it if it weren't so, so loud. And, we find their bread of poor quality. I had a chibatta roll recently and it was awful.
