I am excited everytime I go here. The coffee is amazing I love all their flavors. The breakfast sandwiches are the best part though. It's expensive but so worth it read more

I'm giving you a 2 for the fact that your space is nice and customer service was fine albeit I stood there a very long time before anyone ever came out from the back. Your bread however is literally the worst "sourdough" bread I have ever had. I wasted $10 on a loaf of supposed sourdough herb de Provence. It was stale and it was old. It didn't remotely taste like sourdough. If I had known it was going to taste like old pizza bread I would have never bought it. Disgusting. I threw it away after trying to eat one slice. I could have bought a loaf of sourdough from my regular spot and had bread for the week. Won't be back. read more

The guava and cheese pastries are some of the best we've had. After trying them at Valkyrie's, we came here and they definitely lived up to the hype. The burgers were just okay, but the pastries and coffee were excellent. Service was JUST OKAY and the ambiance was pleasant read more

First time here and women at the counter could not be more friendly and tell me about menu and what is available, very just welcoming. So I took a while do decide since it's all good. The caramel croissant muffin hybrid, I never knew existed but it was delicious sweet caramel drizzled on top and stuffed inside buttered flaky sleets of bread. Homemade lemonade I did like, although it was very neutral in flavor, not sour nor sweet, very hard to put to words on it. For the hash-brown, just perfect, very crispy and fried just right, with a slightly salty taste. The Portuguese roll breakfast sandwich, the egg Was very runny, and not overdone on it, plenty of grilled ham, and gooey cheddar cheese , so glad it melted. The roll itself was great, very rare to have that roll instead of a hard roll. All in all a great place for a pasty and breakfast, particularly the hybrid. Also I did enjoy eating here, very relaxing and peaceful, plus nice to watch street with a good view. . read more

Don't mind paying extra for great quality food. Everything here was covered in grease and oil. The pastries as well as the croissants. The bacon egg and cheese I order was so drenched in oil I could not even pick it up to eat it like a normal sandwich. Hash brown was also covered in oil. Pastry that was just warmed up also covered in oil. When I see places like this I look forward to a healthier alternative but I left feeling sick from the grease in food. Think twice before you order. The coffee is good but that's the only nice thing I have to say. read more

The breakfast sandwich was amazing, the viennese latte was awesome too, I love a creative coffee special. Almond croissant-also a big win. I'm just in the area for the weekend but most likely making a slightly out of the way stop to eat here again on our way home! read more

North Wind Bread - Viennese latte. Almond croissant. - Bakeries Near Me - Middletown, New York

Coffee is alright, bread is beautiful. The space is open and bright perfect for settling in during the week to get some remote work done

The food was prepared incorrectly. Tomatoes were included on both burgers, despite the fact that I requested that they not be included. The bread was hard and the fries were iced cold. The restaurant refused to remake my order even though the receipt I received from them specified what I requested. The person at the restaurant was very rude. $26 wasted on food that my family and I could not eat. Will not be patronizing this establishment any more!!! read more

North Wind Bread - A poorly made burger. Hard bread and tomato was placed on the burger. Allergic!!!! - Bakeries Near Me - Middletown, New York

The chicken salad croissant is to die for. I believe it's a summer menu item but everything I've had here has been delicious.

Went here for lunch with 5 other people and we all got coffees and sandwiches and soups. The girl at the front was very nice and got our drinks out pretty fast. The food took a little bit but they use fresh bread and the food is prepared next door at oak and reed. Once it's ready they bring it over. Everything was delicious and the place has a great lunch special. It is very small so I'd hate to be in there while it's busy but haven't had to experience that. I can't wait to go back. read more

One of my go to coffee spots I LOVE the southwest biscuits (shhh don't tell everyone). The lattes are good but usually not sweet enough for me so I usually ask for simple syrup on the side. They usually take longer than other places to make a latte and if it's busy forget it I've waited like 20 minutes. Decor is cute and comfortable and they have recently added breakfast sandwiches which is a great addition. read more

FINALLY! A bakery has finally opened up again in Middletown! You guys have no idea how long I have waited for this moment! The store has replaced the old bakery next to Oak and Reed. The interior is nicely designed and feels very comfortable to sit in. The have an espresso machine in the corner and they have nice marble tabletops. I got the chocolate croissant and it had soooooo many layers! Amazing! I also order an americano and it was great as well! Definitely support the business as I imagine living without a bakery anymore! read more

I am so happy that OC finally has a gourmet-level bakery with typical American, French and Italian pastries. The culinary school prep shines through in the flavor, texture, and freshness of the food. Customer service is excellent. I have ordered ahead on the phone multiple times. I like that I can call North Wind on the phone and get a human right away, as opposed to big chains. Also, North Wind always has only a few customers at a time. It's never mobbed, unlike the chains. Also, you can pre-order cakes, etc. for special events any time of year. There is a pre-order menu ahead of the big holidays. Thank you! read more

food was terrible, service was awful, and the ambiance was great. This is not a good business they don't know how to run a business when they keep messing up every order. Their food was so dry read more

I was looking for a Starbucks alternative while traveling through Middletown. I got a honey latte and my colleague got a matcha latte. Both were just ok. We also got breakfast sandwiches. Mine was fried egg and American cheese on a croissant. Hers was scrambled egg and American cheese on an English muffin. Mine was SUPER greasy. Our first clue should have been that the restaurant was empty at 9am. I'd recommend skipping this stop in your tour of the area. read more

The service was great nice place grab some food coffee and lunch the price for what I got was around 15 little high but not too bad read more

Staff friendly, good Choi of pastries to choose from and yum !!!! My latte was very good and I will return again. Patron used the seating area to sit and chat and enjoy their purchase. Very nice location read more

Just did a quick stop to get an iced coffee... loved the iced vanilla latte. They make their syrups. It had a real authentic taste because it is made from the actual vanilla bean. The woman working was very helpful and friendly. read more

Was happy to see a bakery was finally located in Middletown. First, the decor is very welcoming. I felt like sitting down and enjoying a cup of coffee and a danish. Normally I would travel to Stew Leonard's to get loaves of challah bread. When I didn't feel like the long drive I would go to the local Shop Right as a last option. I was happy to see that NWB had challah as I use this bread to make French toast. This will be my spot going forward. I was asked if I was military which leads me to believe they offer military discounts. read more

Super cute street side bakery! I didn't get a chance to try the food but it looked great and the place was packed. I got the special honey lavender latte and it was just sweet enough. My partner got the a brown sugar type special topped with whipped cream and it was very decadent and a bit sweet for my liking. Even though it was busy we didn't have to wait too long! read more

Great bakery nice people, don't miss it! Located on the cutest street in Middletown, it's surprisingly sophisticated for this area.

when ordering the cashier told us we can customize our order, then proceeded to deny any custom orders saying they actually can't have custom orders. After ordering and sitting, all the tables were crammed and uncleaned, crumbs and food everywhere as they have no one who cleans inbetween seatings. Food was mid and overpriced. Then they require you to serve and clean up after yourself, resembling a fast food service like tacobell. after cleaning lady gave us a nasty look and was annoyed that we accidentally put the plastic forks in the garbage instead of recycling, as if i worked there and she was going to fire me. ladies up front were not pleasant and very rude, did not smile or respond when we said thanks and have a nice day. menu is extremely limited as well with barely any options. I recommend this place to no one and not sure how they stay in buisness. never had an issue with any restaurants in middletown except here. read more

On my first visit to NW Bread, it was a little sad how few loaves were left...but it was mid day on Saturday. I did grab a pullmans loaf and it's delicious. It makes great French toast too... I'll be back for more bread read more

not sure why this place has bad reviews. the coffee, food, and service were all excellent ! it was even reasonable compared to other cafes (we go to a lot). the overall vibe of the spot was also nice, clean, and relaxing. 10/10 recommend read more

Expensive and pricey. It all tastes good but not sure if I would be a regular customer every day just because of the prices and parking can be tricky too read more

Wonderful 'city' style bakery that also serves lattes and fancier coffees. Delicious baked goods. I stopped for a pastry and latte. Super hot latte- so be careful. ;-) Clean, beautifully decorated, and on the day I went, they had ginormous chocolate chip cookies, guava and cheese pastries, lemon poppyseed scones, and much more in their display case. Sourdough large rounds of bread available in several flavors. Looking forward to returning with friends, as they have several dine in tables. read more

I just found my new favorite coffee shop in town! There is indoor and outdoor seating which is a huge plus since both are very clean! If you're looking for a very relaxing and nice coffee shop then I think this is the best one you'll find in the Hudson Valley. read more

The honey lavender lattes are amazing! My husband and I have also tried the croissant SE&C and while I do agree with other reviews it's a tad on the greasy side it's so delicious. Also, got the coconut pastry and it was good, but the chocolate croissant is the best! Overall a great addition to the area and the bread is phenomenal!! read more

Northwind Bread is nothing short of greatness! The food is always perfectly prepared. The menu is an eclectic mix of breakfast and lunch staples people tend to know and love. So don't be afraid to tried something you would typically shy away from you won't be disappointed. I love the fact it's always super Clean! And let's not forget the amazing staff. This is just what middletown needed! I highly recommend! read more

I don't know how this got rated so well. The place looks cool and we were excited to get coffee and a bite to eat for breakfast. When we got in, there was one person working there, getting a small drink for another customer. This took a while in itself, but we were next in line and didn't mind waiting. Once the drink was served, the employee literally ran to the back and never returned. We waited a good five minutes more but then decided to leave. Not a word was ever spoken to us. read more

Not enough staff. Come if you have enough time to wait. My experience was awful, and will not be returning. After getting my drink I asked for a bit more creamer to be filled up to the rim. I was told "this is how we make our drinks, next time order extra". Way later as I was leaving another staff stopped me and said "about that drink, that's how much we put next time you should order a latte". Don't spend your money here, it's not worth it. read more

The cheese danish, morning bun, lattes, sandwiches are amazing! The staff is wonderful and welcoming! Oh and the lemonades are perfect and refreshing on a hot summer day. read more

I am very disappointed in the quality of food. I spent close to $60 on 2 coffees, 2 sandwiches, 2 hash browns, and 2 pastries. Out of everything the coffee and the hostess's welcoming attitude were the only good things. One of the two sandwiches were made incorrectly, we were given the wrong pastry, and one of the hash-browns were left out. The food quality overall was just not it. Everything that had a croissant or made with croissant pastry was completely drenched in butter/oil to the point that we couldn't finish or enjoy our food. The hashbrowns as well were completely drenched in oil and could not be eaten. For the price, you'd be better off going to Dunkin. read more

Spot was a little tough to find but food and coffee were great! Definitely recommend the blueberry lemon pudding read more

North Wind Bread - Blueberry lemon pudding, iced strawberry vanilla shaken espresso, smoked roast beef on ciabatta, and chickpea salad - Bakeries Near Me - Middletown, New York

The best Almond croissant I have had in the USA . Crunchy flavorful & Delicious. The sourdough bread is also the best a hearty delicious bread. Thanks for the great bakery. Since I work only get to enjoy it on weekends since they close @ 3pm. Closed on Mondays as well. Keep up the fantastic quality of your baked goods. Middletown needed this bakery . read more

This place is awesome, a hidden gem. The Broccoli and smoked Gouda soup and the Downtown Digs Sandwich are to die for and of course their drink specials. read more

North Wind Bread - Wow, this place is awesome. This is the "beast" with chickpea salad. . - Bakeries Near Me - Middletown, New York

Discovered this bakery when dining at Oak & Reed. I believe the same owners. The sourdough bread is so good. Crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Just the right amount of sour. I especially like the herbed version, but also enjoy the plain. The baguette was delicious. Again, crunchy and chewy. Loved the milk rolls. Not super impressed with the sweet baked goods but it's a matter of taste. Found the breads reasonably priced for what you get. The website was a bit confusing because it didn't take my order right away. I had to keep re-entering it and had a problem putting in payment. Hopefully next time it goes easier. read more

Perfect start to my Sunday! The blueberry scone had a wonderful bread-like texture (as opposed to an oat-like one) and the blueberries were perfectly ripe. Comfortable seating, open atmosphere, and friendly staff, too! read more
