I was driving by, and the name of the place caught my eye, so I decided to stop in for lunch. Just…read morea nice simple restaurant, nothing fancy. Everybody was friendly, and the place was clean. There is a sign, that there is no Wi-Fi. You actually have to *GASP* talk to each other as if it were back in the 90s. :) You order at the front counter, and then when your food is ready, you walk up to the kitchen window and pick it up. I decided to try the 209 hash. Two eggs, Potatoes, bacon, sautéed mushrooms, sausage, and tomatoes. While the food was good and the over easy eggs were done right, everything was pretty oily. From the potatoes, to the mushrooms, everything. I mean yes, there was bacon and sausage, but there shouldn't have been so much oil on everything else. Again, it did taste good, and it was very rich, but all of the oil took away from the meal, just a little bit. Next time I'm passing by, I would stop again, but this time I would get something else. Thank you.

The smell inside will have you drooling harder than a boxer puppy smelling a pizza. Unfortunately I forgot to save the photo I took of the delicious display of pastries. That display certainly hooked me. Came in for coffee walked out with delightful bites I couldn't wait to dig into. One of which was a strawberry danish. That crust was amazingly light and flakey. Layered strawberries, center with a little cream and that cream topped off with some lemony drizzle. Oh just pure goodness. Prices VERY reasonable. Coffee is outstanding. Desserts are dangerous. You will want to say "One of each please" and you won't regret a thing.

At first I did not know what this glass atrium was so I decided to go inside. The front desk showed me all their options and explained that everything was vegan. All their breakfast sandwiches come with vegan meat options. I didn't realize at first but it was a nice surprise. The pastries were the highlight of the meal. I loved the indoor seating area. You have all the natural sunlight coming inside with a great view of the walking path. Everyone here is very happy and friendly. I had a great time here hanging out and will come here again.

My boyfriend tried to order a mocha and the girl working there said they were almost out and if he…read morecould order something else. So he just ordered a regular coffee that was not very good. Then the girl behind him in line ordered an iced mocha and she made it for her. He didn't tell me this until after we got into the car. But if I had known I would not have ordered anything. My boyfriend is black and I just wondered if it was a racism thing. I could be wrong but it felt that way since everyone else was white. It happened while I was going to the bathroom at the creepy bus station office next door which you have to go to bc the coffee shop doesn't have one. I got a chocolate croissant which tasted fine but the woman who worked there made me wait a super long time while she and the guy in front of me talked about his dog. There are a lot of coffee shop options in New Paltz so you don't have to go here if you need coffee. I would stay away from this place. I was led astray by a review that said it was good.

The Big Cheese is the definition of charm, warm service, chicness, has a popular and wholesome menu…read morewhich you can Veganize (the only pork offered is prosciutto appearing here and there) has tea+coffee beverages, etc at this Mediterranean deli/restn't in Rosedale, NY. Plus the short drive to+from work during my lunchtime, was what brought me to The Big C. With all that, this spot also brims with..... cheese pleasing all the senses. I couldn't count the cheeses- but do believe there must've been at least a hundred (maybe I'm off) in their glass refrigerators on the left as soon as you walk in. They include artisan cheddars, cheeses from Spain, Italy, etc. I picked up a Falafel salad with a nice drizzle of a hummus dressing. The falafel balls are sizable, but the spice aren't what I'm used to and were also a tad sweet(?). Aside from the restaurant part of it, there's like a mini thrift vintage clothing+shoes+ bags shop in the back. Oh, there's more- since these folks have a passion for everything cheese, there's a Cheese Club. Already, you know they take their cheese seriously.

Anytime I spot hot chocolate in any given café menu, I'm tempted to order a cup. It's a weakness…read more That's how I ended up at Ridge C., nestled right on the ever-bustling Main St in New Paltz. I popped in one winter lunch break and was hypnotized by the promise of that cocoa comfort I love. Ridge C. isn't just another cozy café. They have an entire wall lined with spices and loose-leaf teas in clear, labeled Mason jars. It's like a tea lover's dream. I was in my element. But let's talk hot chocolate. The first time? Disappointing. Bland. Still, I gave it another shot. This time requesting they go heavy on the chocolate. Nope. My 'heavy on the chocolate' request slipped into thin air, because round two was just as bland. Tip: Parking on Main Street is a nightmare and the meter maid's out here like it's a sport. Save yourself and look for a side street instead.
