I only stumbled on Little Rye B. in Kingston, NY on our way to Lowe's one Sunday. But the second I…read morenoticed the almost wrapped around queue to come here, a 'next time', was in order. My second go-around on a Saturday at 10:15ish, it was line-free. The black+white stripe awning is catchy, the glass case showcasing the goods and more pastries on the counter all greet you. 'Little' in the name, fits right. The space is upbeat and inviting with brightly color design pieces and a 1950ish-style turquoisey fridge off to the right. Every detail feels special here. The selection of pastries was impressive and trying to decide what I wanted, was impossible. I went on a whim and selected their Danish, an apple(?) hand pie, the well-known olive oil cake and a Veg quiche slice. So be prepared- because whatever you choose, you won't be disappointed. The owner- Catarina mentioned her love for all things Citrus. Ingredients are seasonal- though I would want her to experiment with Passion Fruit. *Wishful thinking*. The pastries I selected to bring home with me were irresistibly butter-rich. I mean listen....the result is divine. Service was great and price was nice for all my goodies.

The chocolate pieces are very rich ans the macaroons are not too sweet and soft. Most of these pieces are made with coconut cream and the taste is very prominent. I had a snickers doodles cookie. While the texture is moist, the coconut taste is very strong. I actually prefer a regular snickerdoodle cookies. Great if you are a vegan.

After having lunch at a nearby restaurant, we saved room for dessert because we had seen this nice…read morebakery on our way through town. Very clean inside and beautiful display cases make you want to eat everything in sight. We opted for some cookies and a couple of pastries to take home. We also got a couple of cannolis because- well, because. Plenty of parking in the area in a Sunday afternoon and when we entered there were only a few customers but when we were leaving after having checked out, the place really got a rush. Some tables and a diner type counter allow you to have some of your goodies inside while there are also tables on the outside. Prices were very reasonable and I was surprised at the final tally for all of what we bought. The staff were really friendly and most importantly helpful in making choices. They offered best sellers and personal favorites. Of course, they have some beautiful cupcakes and pies and cannolis as well as homemade sweets for the kids. ( Big and small kids). Well worth the visit to grab a coffee and treat yourself to very good and fresh baked goods.

Village Coffee was the best coffee I found in the surrounding area. The espresso is excellent, with…read morereal attention to detail, and the breakfast sandwiches are OUTSTANDING. I went three times during my visit and had a different sandwich two times...both were incredible. I also really loved the music they play, which gives the whole place such a great atmosphere. Village itself has a small amount of seating, while Little Village has much more room to settle in, plus Wi-Fi if you want to stay awhile. Great coffee, great food, great music. I'd absolutely make this a regular stop anytime I'm in Kingston.

The smell inside will have you drooling harder than a boxer puppy smelling a pizza. Unfortunately I forgot to save the photo I took of the delicious display of pastries. That display certainly hooked me. Came in for coffee walked out with delightful bites I couldn't wait to dig into. One of which was a strawberry danish. That crust was amazingly light and flakey. Layered strawberries, center with a little cream and that cream topped off with some lemony drizzle. Oh just pure goodness. Prices VERY reasonable. Coffee is outstanding. Desserts are dangerous. You will want to say "One of each please" and you won't regret a thing.

I had the gingersnap cookie and the passion fruit meringue pie. The yuzu icing on the cookie gave a fresh twist on a classic cookie flavor. The passionfruit Meringue pie was so dang yummy!! Another fresh twist on a classic. Passionfruit is my favorite dessert flavor. The bay leaf sweet cream layer added a nice complexity to the tart passionfruit and the Crust was so good! Really held its shape and tasted spectacular as well. I'll definitely be back so worth the drive!

Kingston Bread+Bar came a long way from their previous spot. Their previous location had its charm,…read morebut this new home on Broadway I feel is way better. This is more inviting, has more personality and just a whole vibe I think. Parking can be a little touchy depending on when you pull up, but once you get inside, you forget all about that. They make all their (and maybe in-house(?)). Beyond the bread, they have shelves with canned goods, fridge stocked with cheeses and other little finds. Kingston B. is like a little neighborhood-market-meets-bread-bar energy. I came in for a bite and somehow left with more than I could chew. I went with the grilled cheese with white cheddar and ricotta pressed between their sourdough bread. Simple on paper, but the flavor was definitely on point. It's creamy, super cheesy, had a freaking terrific melt pull and the bread is crispy where it needed to be. I mean- that bread really brought the whole thing together. Or was it the combo of the cheeses? Definitely not your basic grilled cheese.

A no-school day for me and impending snow on this side of Kingston was meant for one thing: getting out of the house and heading to breakfast. Village G. is exactly the type of cozy you want on a cold day- because the moment I stepped in here it felt warm, welcoming and bustling. Just like their name, Village G. is part grocery store- where they source fruits and veg from upstate farms and local suppliers and you get some refillable bulk items. You'll also find bagged pastas, prepared salads and grab-and-go meals. But for me, the kitchen is the main event. If a menu has a mushroom omelette, I get weak and Village G.'s version delivered. Theirs is on a toasted sourdough, buttery eggs+mushrooms, topped with arugula and Parmesan. It was earthy and freaking delicious. This was winter breakfast perfection off the bat with awesome service from start to finish.
