I drove to Cairo strictly to try this coffee shop and it didn't disappoint! The shop itself is so cute with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They also have a grab and go area with food, drinks, bagged coffee and merch. The staff is so friendly and helpful too. I tried their specialty Cherry Mocha Latte with sweet cold foam and it was fantastic - no overly sweet at all. All drinks are served with a small Madeline cookie, which was delicious. They also sell handmade cards and I decided to pick up one of those as the designs were so cute and funny. Highly recommend! read more

ReddStarr Bakery - Late' - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cairo, New York

They may well have delicious things but I wouldn't know. After hiking near Ravena, I drove 30 minutes out of my way because I saw really good reviews. Their web site says they are open until 3pm. Their info on google says 3pm. I arrived at 2:30 and they were closed. I knew that by arriving near closing I could expect they would be out of some things and that was ok. But I didn't expect them to be closed. I specifically drove there to check the place out. They don't just sell baked goods. They sell coffees, lattes, and assorted bottled drinks. So even if there were no baked goods left they had products to sell. That's unprofessional and not how you run a business. read more

On a visit from Pa., we found this charming cafe. What a find! It's adorable inside and scrupulously clean. The latte was perfection and we enjoyed the BEST pumpkin bread we've ever had. (Sorry Mom) Friendly and efficient service topped off a delicious experience. read more

This bakery/cafe is an absolute gem! The coffee is hands-down the best, and their pastries -- including amazing gluten-free and vegan options -- are out of this world. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, making every visit a joy. We live on Long Island but always make it a point to come here because it's just that unforgettable! read more

Red Star has tasty espresso beverages and friendly service. we came here every day for a week and really enjoyed it. It also has a very cute atmosphere. read more

The best café around, especially in Greene County. Great owners, friendly guests, an excellent experience. My go-to place for coffee, a knosh, whatever. On a beautiful day, a great view of the Catskills. It reminds me of a café in lower Manhattan plopped in Greene County. The best part is that the owners will be celebrating their second year pulling espresso shots, serving customers near & far. read more

Artistic decor, extremely comfortable spot to grab a great coffee. Order a second cup. Recommended a hike @ Kaaterskill Falls. read more

Finally stopped in after driving by a few hundred times over the past year, and I was not disappointed. Wish I had come by sooner. I got coffee and a croissant to go. The croissant was warmed and melted in my mouth. Coffee was the perfect temperature. The staff is pleasant and helpful. They put a mini madeleine cookie on top of my coffee -- it was to die for. I would go back just for the madeleine! I didn't stay to eat but the cafe looked cute and was quiet even thought there were other people there. Definitely stop in here if you are passing through Cairo. read more

we are heading back to the city after a staycation in wyndham and stopped by here for coffee. as some one who really values quality this exceeded expectations, priced extremely reasonably as well. the coffee is amazing and i never ever say that or write a review. for food me and my boyfriend got banana bread and the chocolate coissant. the croissant was good just a bit non traditional, it was good but compared to the banana bread... holy moly the banana bread was outstanding. can't recommend this place enough especially the banana bread and the coffee comes with a really yummy madeline :) read more

Stopped in to visit with family since the building was owned by previous generations of my family years ago when it was a general store. Very pleased to see how much care was put into the buildings restoration. The owners are super friendly, hard working and the customer service was on point. Baked goods were delicious. Coffee/tea selection is fantastic. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent cappuccino with oat milk. Delicious baked goods, too! We tried the banana chocolate chip bread. Beautiful view of the mountains through the windows. Very cozy place to site and enjoy the wonderful food and drinks. We will be back! read more

The pastries were great. We had the coffee cake, a cruffin, and a chocolate croissant

Amazing!!!! Great atmosphere. Wonderful coffee. Excellent food. The owners and staff are so kind and helpful.

What a great find. Very nice people. We were treated with a big smile 2 minutes after opening at 8am on a Saturday morning. The unique pastries they make are very good. They use Irving Farms coffee beans and it's obvious they try very hard to make a pleasant place to hang out. A few tables on the front porch. We will definitely go back. read more

Amazing service. A real coffee spot. Delicious coffee and incredible pastries made in house. Trust me and get the Cruffin. Omg! It's also a great spot to bring a friend to chat and sip. read more

Love love love this bakery. Owners and staff are always pleasant. I go weekly to get the almond croissants and cruffins. That's a muffin crossed with a croissant if you are unsure what a cruffin is. Anyone I have brought them to says it's the most delicious thing they've ever eaten. You will not be disappointed. read more

Owners have an outstanding work ethic. They can "without a doubt" open their own school to teach other cafe / bakeries how to deliver second to none coffee, bakery products and service. Entering Red Star Cafe and Bakery is like entering a family / dear friend's home. They deliver OUTSTANDING respect, cleanliness, beverages and bakery products. Sit back have a cup of Joe and you will be BACK. read more

Heading to Dunkin Donuts, I pulled a U-Turn upon seeing this cafe. Feels very Brooklyn - Gorilla Coffee transplanted to the Catskills - but the magic is in the pastries! We tried some cruffins and they were excellent. I saw a woman baking in the back, so special to get such great and fresh product. Highly recommend. read more

This cafe is a perfect addition to Main Street, offering high quality coffee drinks prepared with expertise and love! The owners and employees are also wonderful and everything I have eaten there is delicious. Skip the fast food chains and stop at the Red Star for a 5-star experience. (See what I did there??) read more

A uniquely lovely spot to get your caffeine fix. On the weekend they serve grits topped with a whole bunch of fun stuff. Beautiful pastries and baked goods on display and usually a gluten free option or two. Family friendly and good wifi connection with comfortable seats read more

This is a hidden gem. Good place to sit quietly, excellent coffee and hot chocolate. Great vibe. Friendly staff. Love it.

Awesome place. Been coming to this area for years now and it has always been difficult to find a good cup of coffee. We are talking real coffee, not Starbucks or Dunkin'. If you are looking for a strong cup of coffee made to perfection this is the place. I went twice a day, every day I was in town except for Mondays and Tuesday which they were closed. I would 100% recommend this business and will definitely come again next time I'm in town! read more

SO happy to have a place to get real coffee in town. (We lost Dalton's which had excellent coffee and then were bought out and replaced with gas station coffee. Dunkin is a mess, it takes 30 minutes to get a cup of coffee and more than half the time it's incorrect.) I think we're SO fortunate to have Red Star in Cairo now. Their coffee is on point and the baked goods are delicious. Looking forward to seeing what else they add to the menu because you know it's going to be delicious! So glad to see all these awesome businesses coming to Cairo. Well done! Glad to have you here! read more

As a local I stop here on occasion and am not a coffee snob. Gas station coffee is fine for me, but I will say the coffee there is delicious, and the baked goods are delicious as well. Very clean place, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The staff are friendly and courteous and make the visit a pleasure! Very nice. Thank you! read more

Incredible!!!! I came here for coffee and a patry before an appointment in Cairo, but loved it so much i came back aftwards just to soak in the vibe. The Pistachio Croissant was so amazing that 'delicious' doesn't do it credit. There needs to be a new word that indicates 'the taste of a favorite delicacy with a new, unique twist that you've never imagined." Apply that also to their madelines... Red Star is a new take on the exprewssioon 'a madeline moment' read more

Great coffee and pastry items. Try the cheese grit cups on the weekend. A wonderful addition to Cairo with friendly service and a well-designed space. read more

The vibe was good and the food was tasty, but please add more flavor to the hot chocolate !

I pass through Cairo when coming home from skiing at Windham, and saw this place while on a search for a place to grab a hot drink and a bite for lunch. Everything that I had (chai latte, pumpkin bread, chicken curry sandwich) was superb. The latte was perfectly flavored with just a touch of sweetness and a head of soft foam (plus a mini madeleine!), the pumpkin bread had a plush moist texture with a buttery streusel topping with just a hint of salt, and the chicken curry salad had chunks of dried apricot and golden raisins. Standard cafe fare like this can often be "just okay" at a lot of places. At Red Star, the quality is really a level or two above. The place is super cute as well, with friendly service; would love to come back again with my laptop and chill. read more
