Awesome coffee! If you are in the area and looking for a cup of joe worth drinking this is literally the only place to go and it will rival any other coffee house in or out of the region. They feature roasts from a great Portland roaster, Coava, served in a quaint setting with great breakfast bites. Did I say Go!? Lots of milk alternatives and vegan options. Also if you are feeling adventurous give the beetroot oat milk latte a try... It's great! read more

My family goes to lake placid every year and we haves loved origin coffee but this year was different. When we went the first day there chefs weren't there so there was know food so we thought we would come a different day so we went a different day when we got there it was pretty packed so we thought that we would just get the drinks and go but when we got the drinks they were in mugs so we obviously couldn't of taken it to go also to point out the staff seemed liked they didn't want to be there and just didn't look happy and didn't talk to the customers so this is why the experience was different this year I hope you understand origin coffee. read more

All I wanted was a hot cup of coffee on a rainy day. Instead, I listened as the 3 employees of the shop all stood around and had a conversation with the people who walked in just before me. Not about his coffee choice or what snack he wanted, but about where one could go to get birch picture frames. All 3 employees apparently needed to be part of this convo, and at no point did any of them actually make a coffee or even glance in my direction. After 5 minutes of chat, I left. I understand needing tourism dollars to survive, but driving off locals with poor service isn't a great business model - I've got coffee at home. Edited to add: the mask rules were also not enforced, so not only did I wait for nothing, but I was potentially exposed to COVID-19. Great job! read more

I am currently finishing my breakfast sandwich and had to stop to give this review. It's a near perfect sandwich. I say "near perfect" because come on, has a sandwich ever been perfect? Anyway, back to this sandwich, it has the perfect distribution of egg, bacon, cheese and avocado. With a touch of hot sauce this sandwich will leave me thinking about it for some time. I came here with a friend who doesn't like to eat gluten because it will kill her and she is enjoying the gluten free version of this sandwich with the same amount of delight. We were only here for a day and what a treat. Also, my cappuccino is fantastic! The flavors is great and I love the pattern the barista made on the top. If I could give this place 5 1/2 stars I would. But I can't so I gave it 5 stars. Also they've got a great selection of coffee table books if you're looking to warm up and learn about things. -mike read more

Great local coffee shop with a nice variety of beverages and food and a fantastic atmosphere. The staff is friendly and knowledgable and the decor is welcoming and warm. A great location right on Broadway in Saranac Lake, NY within walking distance of lots of local businesses. I've had the cappuccino and chai latte, both of which were unique and tasty. I'm excited to try the rest of the menu over time and look forward to getting work done in the café on the shops wifi. As a barista of over a year, I love a good cup of coffee or tea and appreciate the artistry of the barista on the other side of the counter. These folks are talented, knowledgable, and happy to engage in conversation. And they make some pretty great beverages, so in my book all those elements add up for a nice five star review. Can't wait to check in again! :) read more

There is a solid reason that this place has five star reviews. I love nothing more than a leisure morning walking to a cafe to get tea and a light breakfast. We are visiting the area for a few days and I happened upon this place. The people are lovely, the food and tea were amazing. The first day, I got the avocado toast. It was delicious. The next day I got the granola yogurt. Fantastic. I ordered London Fog tea each day. And my teenager actually had the smoothie. He eats nothing healthy. The line was out the door each time, but don't let that scare you. It's worth the 5-10 minute wait to order. read more

This is a cute little coffee shop I enjoy visiting when I'm passing through Saranac Lake. The coffees, teas and smoothies are tasty. The toasts are also good, though I'm not too sure about the $9 avocado toast price tag. All in all, about $19 for a 12 oz. smoothie, a 12 oz. earl grey london fog and a single toast is quite a pricey "lunch". Not very filling for one person but fairly satisfying, if that's what you're into. Regardless, it's still good! read more

However I have recently started helping Lakeside House clients, who often request stops to this place. The business's workers' attitudes seemed to have improved, but today that was all proven a facade. Today I got 3 small containers of food, watching the lady ring them up. They rung up as $5.?? each, for the total to then magically bounce up an unexplained extra $5 for a total of $20. The lady had a plastic bag ready, then decided not to bag them last second. When I asked for it, she told me I should have brought my own bag!! When literally other customers in store were given bags, as were my buddies, no issues given. Worse, they treat their customers like crap across the board indirectly! They refuse to allow *paying* customers to use the Wi-Fi in a *known* dead zone, strangely at this location specifically. They have several different hostile and unwelcoming signs/ messages everywhere outside the building. Just one of them being "10 minute parking only!" So if they take longer than 10 minutes to make your sandwich, they also gonna threaten to tow!!!?? The only reason I imagine people go here is to get stuff no one else in town has, like specialty snacks and beers I've also personally never seen elsewhere. The men have been somewhat nicer, but still can't even get a smile, ever. Someone needs to get rid of miserable rude granny, and while at it get the whole place's behavior to shape up.

Matt, the bartender was an absolute doll. He let me try a few beers and was super attentive. After letting me sample a few beers, he asked me if I wanted to order food. The smell of pizza still calling me, I decided to get their famous Rocky Marciano, especially since anchovies were one of the topping options. You never see anchovies offered, and I just don't understand it. They are so amazing on pizza! Oh my goodness - it did not disappoint, whatsoever. It's all about the dough, baby, and their dough was next level! It reminds me of a place in Baton Rouge growing up, called Fleur De Lis. They were Sicilian owned and had the best pizza. Just something about the dough. That yeasty, almost beer-battered aroma wafting from the dough. The sauce was good, toppings were good. I think I got mushroom, spinach and green peppers with the anchovies. I feel like it was literally the best topping option I could've possibly ordered.

We were…read morestaying at a nearby Inn and needed a quick bite to eat in the morning on our way, so New Leaf was close enough. This literal transformed house was welcoming and cozy. The first floor is the cafe, and littered with points of interest in every nook. The breakfast menu was basic, as expected of a coffee shop. We ordered a croissant sandwich and breakfast burrito, along with two lattes. I ordered a maple latte, because obviously (ADK!) , with an extra shot. The espresso was delicious and the flavored well. The croissant breakfast sandwich was cooked well and had a ton of flavor! Our barista/chef was a man of few words but friendly overall and graciously allowed our pup inside without complaint. The lattes and food were really good and made our morning great in this beautiful town. Do stop by if you are in the mood for a quirky cafe with a good grind.

I came here for a latte and was very happy with my choice. It opens at 7:00 which is good for me…read morebecause o am out early. The place was very interesting. It's on a house so the front rooms are decorated and cozy. The latte was very good. I didn't try anything on the menu since I was meeting my friends later. I will try it again.

Traditional breakfast offerings with some daily specials. Reasonably priced for the current climate. Ordered cheese and bacon omelet with homefries. The toast was a bit burned and they were apologetic and immediately remade. Also ordered breakfast burrito special (came with 2) and was very good filled with eggs, sausage, cheese , onions , peppers and potatoes. The owner waited on us and was extremely friendly. She was attentive to us and the other patrons making sure our food was good.

Came here twice, once for lunch and once for breakfast. Both times the staff was very friendly even if the food took a bit to come out. Prices were normal, maybe slightly elevated for lunch. For breakfast for a red eye over ice and a chocolate croissant. Coffee was ok, nothing crazy. Croissant was decent though. Wanted a bacon egg and cheese, however they didn't have hot sauce so that made this a no-go. For lunch I got the teriyaki bowl which has salmon. This was really good and one of the only good healthy options in town. Decent piece of salmon and plenty of veggies too. Would recommend this as a pleasant place to get food/drinks. It's weird there are so few places in town like this, so it's a great niche they're filling.

Good smoothies, although pretty overpriced for what is in them. Cool interior of shop and loved the…read morechanging sign board.

I stayed in Tupper lake for a few days and would stop in for breakfast or lunch each day- it is irresistible. Breakfast- Coffee: There is a lot of selection for coffee and if they are out they will brew more (just let them know) Savory: The eggs, toast, and breakfast wraps are delicious Sweet: The baked goods are to die for. Grab a cookie, or one of the muffins (the coffee cake one is my favorite). Lunch: The sandwiches, soups, and salads are all fresh. And there is something for everyone! The specials are also quite good :)
