    This place opened up within the past few months and I was looking forward to having breakfast here when I arrived to town. It was just a short walk from the Woodstock Lodge where my friends and I were staying. The Lodge isn't open for breakfast so this place was perfect. In fact it's the first Café on the walk into town. The place has it's own charm, it's not huge but there were several tables both inside and out. The bathroom was clean and the employees were very nice and helpful. In fact when I ordered my bacon, egg and cheese the guy at the counter asked me if I wanted my eggs over-medium. You sir are a mind reader because that is EXACTLY how I take my eggs! The bacon was crisp and the cheese was melty. Honestly Bread Alone a bit down the block may be a little bigger and have more of a selection but this breakfast sandwich I got at Nana's beats it with a baseball bat! The fact that I didn't have to wait in line for 20 minutes to get it only to find out that it didn't come out the way I wanted it was a major plus. (See my Bread Alone Review for details on what happened there.) Don't get me wrong Bread Alone is decent but when they are busy quality can suffer a bit. We decided to eat in and they even brought our food to us which I wasn't really expecting. The iced coffee was also delish. My son had a bagel and it was super fresh. My roll was warm and sooo soft it felt like it had literally just come out of the oven. The bottom line is, don't look past Nana's just because the space is a bit more intimate. They make up for it in service and quality. The prices are also very affordable on any budget. Personally as a customer I love the special attention they provided to make sure my breakfast was just right.

    Crazy egg sandwich with bacon on an everything bagel. Crazy delicious. Crazy!

    Excellent breakfast spot! Thanks Yelp! Had the crazy egg sandwich with bacon on an everything bagel and it was delicious. Cozy little place with friendly staff. Didn't try any baked goods but they all looked amazing. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

    The food here is fresh and delicious. I usually get the crazy egg sandwich with bacon and yogurt with fresh fruit and granola. I believe they have 4 different kinds of coffee and it's quite a relaxing atmosphere. Stop by and try for yourself.

    Who could resist all that purple!? Nana's is a cozy spot to enjoy comfort food like no other. Don't pass it up :)

    Nana's is a must-stop in Woodstock! They provide quality food and service with a local vibe. As previously noted, the egg sandwiches are to die for but don't miss out on the daily specials and delicious treats! Say hi to the owner during your visit-she's a gem!

    I love the GC. The food is incredible, service amazing and ambiance so pleasant and Woodstocky!…read more Dishes are very well seasoned, regardless of the fact there is no meat. You should really give it a try, even if not vegan or vegetarian. An A++++.

    The Garden Cafe is a favorite that we wish we could visit more often. It is an unparalleled spot…read morefor vegan comfort food. Their menu is extensive and impressive; they have some all-star dishes on their permanent menu as well as a rotating daily menu with a legendary lineup of seasonal items. I really appreciate that they have dishes that are hard to come by such as lentil loaf and lasagna, and these never disappoint. The lentil loaf is unique; it is a little brick of lentils (not your traditional sliceable mush of breadcrumbs and minced veggies). It's very well seasoned and the tomato sauce on top is not overly sweet. The mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy and (very) garlicky greens make it a great meal. The lasagna is one of my favorite dishes. It's pasta-free and just made from layers of sliced zucchini and other veggies sandwiched with their delicious crumbly housemade cashew cheese. The herby tomato sauce is super flavorful. The side salad and garlic bread that accompany it are great also; an ultra comforting meal. We enjoyed the macro meal, although honestly not as much as the other dishes. The pan-seared tofu was delicious, but the arame seaweed salad was super seaweedy and salty - a bit much for me. I'm also not sure why they didn't serve it in a bowl, which would have made the rice etc. easier to eat. It seemed to be missing something - perhaps avocado, or a hunk of sweet potato. A few items at the Garden Cafe are a little perplexing, compared to how perfect most of their food is. The tempeh is just ok. It's heavily marinated in a sweet and salty sauce and kind of strange. Also disappointing that it's just a big brand tempeh rather than one of the local tempeh brands available in the area. The housemade focaccia is also bizarre. The texture made me think it was gluten-free (but it's not). Is it whole wheat?? If that's the case, awesome, but they should mention that on the menu, so you aren't taken aback when you don't get pillowy airy bread and instead get something flat and gray that could be mistaken for a biscotti. We LOVE the Garden Cafe and wish more places like this existed serving organic classic meals. We wish they would open a location in New York City, but until then, we will be making the drive!

    I came here a few weekends ago as I was staying in the area, and it was super cute!…read more If you love indie bookstores with the ability to buy coffee, pastries or wine, then you have found your spot! They had a good amount of seating (including both in the coffee area as well as surrounding the books). The service was friendly and they had a really good variety of books to choose from. I'd come here all the time if I lived close by.

    I have so many good things to say, where do I even start?!…read more First of all, this book and bar spot is absolutely beautiful. It's located on such a charming street, and stepping inside felt like walking into an elevated Barnes & Noble straight out of a Harry Potter movie. There are endless shelves of books across every genre, cozy seating throughout, and the perfect atmosphere to spend hours browsing or reading. The coffee was just as wonderful as the space. I wasn't sure what to order, so the barista recommended a drink and was incredibly accommodating with my many requests. I can't have too much milk or syrup, so I basically gave them a complicated custom order, and they made it exactly to my liking without hesitation. I also ended up buying one of the chocolate bars they had at the counter and turns out it was $20!!!! As a tourist, I had no idea it was a well known local chocolate brand with a factory nearby, so that was a fun surprise. This is the kind of place that makes you want to slow down. I'd love to come back, grab a coffee, spend the entire afternoon reading, and just soak in the comforting smell of books and fresh coffee. Such a cozy, magical spot that's well worth visiting!

    Incredibly bummed, especially seeing all the positive press around the quality and the sourcing…read morethey claim to approach business with, that quite a lot of the food being served was from SYSCO or another large similar restaurant supply vendor, ordered by the case and baked from frozen. Now first off, don't get me wrong, buying in bulk or sacrificing the quality of some ingredients to large suppliers like this is definitely a reality when running a restaurant. Even moreso in this day and age when ingredient prices are exorbitant. That said, it needs to be reflected in the price point. Pastries are arranged beautifully under cloches in the display case, but I could spot the premade, ready-to-bake spinach feta bistro (https://www.chefswarehouse.com/products/QZ119984/) or ham and cheese croissant (https://www.chefswarehouse.com/products/99971/) from a mile away. The avocado spread on the preassembled breakfast sandwiches is definitely the pulp from the 3lb bag from Chef's Warehouse too. I know that taste! All of that said, they had a few items in the case that I'm sure weren't from one of these big vendors. Which was great to see. My (yes, unsolicited!) advice would be to pare down the menu. Offer just a bit less so you can focus on the quality. Try and tap into some local producers if you can! That's one of the best things about the Hudson Valley... how much all the purveyors and markets and cafes support each other. It's clear too how much they care about the community. They're dog friendly inside. No WiFi to encourage people to chat with one another. Fine. I really want to see this place continue to thrive, it's just a bit of a bummer that a significant part of the menu including things that really should be fresh, aren't.
