Chestnut Ridge, NY - Threefold Cafe continues to be one of my favorite places to eat in Rockland!…read moreSee my previous review for why I love them. I'm updating this review mostly to add more photos, but have been enjoying hanging out here for a coffee & pastry while catching up on emails or just taking in the peaceful surroundings, meeting friends for lunch, and most recently returned for one of their lively Friday night dinners with music on the outdoor patio (indoors if the weather is uncooperative). They are now open for dinner 5 nights a week in the summer! The menu is seasonal and changes often, with daily specials and some staples. The food is hearty and wholesome, and I love their salads. Relaxed atmosphere, family friendly, BYOB.

Still an enjoyable experience at your pace especially when not packed! Today, after taking a few…read morebites of the food, I felt like you could taste the "homemade" feel. The quiche for example tasted like something i would make, though not sure if that's a good thing or not (ha). The chicken shawarma ($14) was pretty good though the pita could have been softer; it had eggplant, onions and mushroom as well. Quite enjoyed the strawberry cupcake - light and airy. They have glasses of tap water in the fridge which you can help yourself to and you bus your own tables by putting your silverware and plates in a pan. They have a very small parking lot that says 20 minute parking. We parked at the school next to it so hopefully that was ok. Not sure where all the customers were parking as the official lot was full.

Not buttercream actlly but rather a butter mousse. Can't begin to explain how good... The "Burnt Basque Cheesecake" managed to achieve an amazing top crust, however was one of the most moist cheesecakes I've ever had. Not a touch of dryness inside. At all. So much flavor. Omg omg The veggie omelette was absolutely delicious. (Of course I started w dessert. Just for this review tho). Tons of fresh veg. Swiss. Sausage on side. Super fresh baguette toasted w butter. All of their breads and baked goods are wildly delectable. Baked to perfection. Home fries are sweet potato/russet mix!, nice and well. Dark caramelized onion. Spiced up. Cumin, etc - but not to kill the multitude of potato flavors. Dude this breakfast is flat out killerrrrr Their soups...wow. Mushroom lentil for the fam, to go...2 others avail. Traditional Turkey & Chicken of some sort. And they have an amazing wood-fired pizza oven taboot, that smells freaking fantastic, even with no pizza in there lol. Have yet to try the pizza. I bet its fantastic, if ur a "pizzahuman". Aka from planet pizza

Breakfast is served until 11:30 and they have a a few egg dishes, breakfast sandwiches and French toast. We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and liked the egg, potatoes (mixture of white and sweet, which was nice), and toast except the toast was hard pieces of baguette ($10). The omelette with potatoes was a pretty plate and good even though the cheese was initially forgotten. They also have sandwiches, salads, burgers and pizza on the menu, the latter of which is made in a brick oven. The pastries didn't look that fresh or enticing but we didn't order any so can't comment on the quality. There's indoor and outdoor seating and service was very nice. They have a shared parking lot with other businesses and more parking out back. Very close to Hungry hollow food coop so make a stop there if you have time!

I was dreaming of a cafe Cubano from Miami. But that seems hard to find outside of Miami. So I ordered a hot cortado with honey syrup. Really delicious, the kind of thing you would always have room for at the end of a big meal. Strong, slightly sweet, hot, balanced and brief. It was like a coffee version of an old fashioned. The service and ambience were excellent. That guy works hard and maintains professionalism. The menu is not small, it's streamlined! There are classic unique coffee choices, and quality desserts as well. It's worth it to travel here after a big meal to enjoy a quiet coffee and something sweet.

One of the most successful private label brands in the annals of grocery history, the Eight O'clock…read moreCoffee brand was introduced by the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company in 1859 and was sold there until 2015 when A&P finally went out of business. Interestingly (at least to me) the brand was named based on several 19th century focus groups (or whatever they were called at the time) that said consumers had their first cup of coffee of the day at eight o'clock. Considering life expectancy in 1859 was around 51, this sounds a little late in the day to me or just maybe, the gunslingers and bandoleros of the time were just waking up after a night of rotgut whiskey at the saloon. Currently, the brand is sold via e-commerce and select grocery channels (Walmart) by Tata Consumer Products of India who is the second largest producer of tea and coffee in the world. For those who may be too young to remember, A&P was the nation's largest mid-century grocery chain and was particularly prominent in the New York metropolitan area meaning, a bag of Eight O'clock Coffee was always around my home growing up as no one in the swinging 70's cared a wit about gourmet coffee and viewed it largely as a functional beverage on par with Maxwell House and Folgers. Today of course, when toddlers are weaned on double espressos and daily twelve dollar lattes are the ruination of countless credit ratings, Eight O'clock now offers "Barista Blends" and Keurig versions to keep our nervous systems permanently jangled. Just for fun, I tried Eight O'clock again recently and found it to be a very decent cup of coffee but honestly, I won't be going out of my way to stockpile the brand. Coffee's not my thing but any brand that has the stamina to survive 165 years, has to be worth an automatic five stars for lifetime achievement. My toddler agrees.

I recently bought a bag of their Whole Bean Colombian Coffee. When I purchased the beans, they had…read more2 months to go before they were considered to be expired. But when I brewed them in my french press, they tasted expired: rancid oils, weak and bitter flavor, etc. I was bummed and decided to give their 800 number a call. The woman I spoke to on the other end of the line was SO NICE! She gave me reasons for maybe why they tasted expired; she acted professionally, friendly, and apologetic; she sent me a refund in the mail; and she eluded to talking to her "team" about improvements. She took my criticism into consideration and made me feel heard. So not 5 stars because of the bad beans, but 4 stars because of the great customer service/relations!

They carry dairy products from a farm across the street, local grains, cheeses, and bulk maple syrup from farms upstate. Beautiful bulk and produce sections. Hidden juice/smoothie bar in the back! I have watched this Co-op evolve over many years. They had some growing pains in the past (seems like any of the negative reviews are over 10 years old), but they must have taken feedback seriously, and consistently re-blossomed. They are now, again, my favorite place to find healthy food and a wonderful sense of community. Whole Foods is handy, but not cheap, and cannot compete with the amount of in-season local food available here. I love that we can have this option to support local farms, and keep our money in our regional community.

We had breakfast and lunch both from the little home cooked take out. They carry incredible organic baked goods by Betlehem Bakery. We stocked up on a bunch of delicious baked goods including some gluten free. I could have eaten their prepared GF veggie quiche for every meal for the rest of my life. Haha. Organic, local items and produce. Kind owner. When we were there we saw a family come in with their young toddler. He immediately welcomed them and said I saved this for you! And it was a bag of unpackaged potatoes and a little empty basket on their produce shelf for him to go unpack. He was delighted and went over to do his big boy job. So cute! Everyone was very friendly. A true gem!!!!!! We will be back again when we are in the area & I won't be bringing any food with us, knowing this place is here!

The menu is wide, varied and right to the point whether it's breakfast, brunch or an early dinner.

Appetizers & Dishes include: Eggplant Parmesan, Baker Ziti, Salmon, Crazy Good / Paninis, Pizza, Soups, Salads, Sandwiches & Crepes. The food is fresh and delicious.

I like how they have seasonal baked items in rotation throughout the year. You walk in and never know what you're going to find. It's usually a couple new things and then the usual stuff. My favorites are the croissants and the fruit tarts. The custard in the fruit tarts is awesome. My kids like almost everything here, including the mochi donuts. Nothing here is too sweet and I think that's why it's all great. The taste is balanced. We bought a strawberry matcha cake for my son's birthday recently and it was perfect. Not too sweet, rich and moist, flavorful. I don't like matcha, but it was ok in this cake...not too bitter. I've also found the perfect time to stop by and buy things...which I'll keep to myself!

They have a great rotating seasonal pastry and drink menu as well. I tried the raspberry almond croissant which was a sugary and flaky delight. The seasonal caramel apple streusel tart was sweet and crunchy. The caramel apple macchiato was very appley and warm for the seasonal weather. We were promptly rung up when we picked our pastries and the drink was quickly made. The seats were spaced out and are comfortable for groups and there is outdoor seating if desired. Overall, for a little indulgence, it hits the sweet tooth.
