It seems like you could get almost everything you need right here. They offered sweet morning pastries, there was a selection of cakes and desserts to bring back to our accommodations for later, and they offered a cooked breakfast and lunch (and brunch!) menu. The coffee was great, and we took some beans home. If you live locally, I read that they also offer free used coffee grinds to take home to your garden. My favorite part of the cafe, is that the donut flavors rotate, making things very interesting. I absolutely loved my little lemon poppyseed donut, but when the warm cinnamon sugar ones came right out of the oven, they absolutely stole the show. The burger for lunch was delightful, and the quiche was quite lovely as well. Highly recommend stopping in, no matter the occasion you will leave feeling refreshed with a wonderful bite to eat.

They serve breakfast all day, so Meg had a Vegetable Omelet and I enjoyed a BLT my way, (Crisp bacon, American cheese, and plenty of mayo.) This is a good time to mention their himemade bread. Delicious, and you can take a loaf home if you wish. Meg said her Toasted Marshmallo Latte was delightful. My iced tea was exeĺlent. Whyy is that worth mentioning? Because far too many times in summer, too many places serve watered-down or over iced tea. Not at Butterfield's. Did I mention the Veggie Straws? You must try them. We are pet lovers and were hapy that there was a friendly Labradoodle on the deck with her attending humans. The food, drinks, service, and prices were all very good. I recommend Butterfield's to passers by, summer folks, and even to those who enjoy a road-trip for a meal like we do.

Nice location, average experience!!…read more I visited Riverside Cafe & Lodge mainly for the setting, and the riverside view was definitely the highlight. It's a peaceful spot and a nice place to relax, especially if you enjoy outdoor seating. The food was okay overall--some items were enjoyable, while others felt fairly basic and could use more flavor. Service was friendly, though a bit slow at times, especially when the place got busy. Overall, Riverside Cafe & Lodge is a decent stop if you're nearby and want to enjoy the scenery. With more consistency in food quality and faster service, it could be much better.

A reason to celebrate…read more Have driven by many times and cant believe we never stopped. We started with salad (generous portion for two) and the Burrata and Heirloom tomatoes which were amazing. My wife had the NY strip steak which was cooked perfectly (medium) and delicious. I had the fresh trout which fell off of the bones and was served over rice. We finished with Bread Pudding (cognac sauce) and Pecan/Turtle pie. Took leftovers from both home to enjoy again later. A must stop!

4&1/2..Vibes for days...It's hard to imagine one not being smitten by this picture perfect,…read morebeautifully restored vintage turn of the century set-piece worthy little all-day cafe, smack in the middle of what was a strong contender for the most postcard/storybook perfect little upstate town I visited in my recent treks trough the region this past fall. I've heard this little village has had among the most intense glow-ups of the post covid boom in the region and it sure shows. What was once a typically sleepy and stagnant, though still undeniably charming downtown common to the area when I last came through some 20-plus years ago now has all the hallmarks of an upscale, bespoke Brooklyn-north outpost, and this place is a perfect representation, though thankfully one that accentuates a positive example of such development that can serve and be appreciated by both the recent transplants as well as the longtime locals. This is thanks most crucially to the prices remaining happily reasonable and accessible to median income in the area, as opposed to raising prices to typical Brooklyn levels (like at the previously panned Phoenicia Diner). This is likely due to the fact that this place actually was established in the last decade, when, while the Brooklynification of the Catskills was certainly well under way, it had not yet been turbocharged to its insane post Covid levels. Food quality however was uniformly excellent, to the point that it would be a beloved neighborhood asset most any of us would love to have in our own hood. Everything I sampled on my lunch there, selected with the help of the thoughtful suggestions of my excellent server, tasted exceedingly fresh and clean, no doubt owing to the bounty of wonderful local ingredients from which the kitchen procures from. Each dish displayed some delightfully retro 90s era influences from the thick and creamy corn chowder, tasting brilliantly of peak late summer corn, to a bright and briny orzo salad, and the star of the meal, the unctuous, savory, perfectly seasoned umami bomb of a meatloaf pressed panini with the squishy pillowy meatloaf melding topped with gooey smokey provolone contrasted brilliantly with the crusty craggily pressed bread. It was a contender for best thing I had upstate and rivals any burger I had in 2025. Was a deeply satisfying lunch that left be deliciously satiated for my drive out of town through the glorious rolling Catskill Hills dreaming of a future opportunity for another visit.

You'll see a small room with a cash register when you enter. To the left is a big room with tables, where you can sit yourself. The interior is charming. Tasha, my waitress (or owner), was straightforward and attentive. She was very welcoming, had a great personality, and chatted about life, including where you were from and traveling to. Not to mention, she said you're always welcome back. It's time for other businesses to follow this example. An automatic 5 stars for that!! The menu offers a lot, including quite a variety of specials. I'm willing to try anything. Make the stop along your (long) journey, and I will also.

I'm definitely a fan any…read morecafe or similar space that integrates art into their environment, and there were quite a variety of lovely pieces at Carol's - many by the owner, but also included are other local artists. The menu, of course, also has "Carol's Favorite 'Comfort Food' Sandwiches" on the menu, all named after famous artists. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm a huge Van Gogh fan, so I ordered the "Van Gogh" sandwich that comes with oven roasted turkey breast layered on sourdough bread and lettuce, tomato, and mayo. The sandwich was good, but I have to say that proportions of the ingredients felt a bit off. I also noticed during the prep of my plate that the chips came from opening a bag (a bulk version similar to ripple chips you'd just buy at the store). In a cafe space like this, you can't necessarily expect people to be making everything from scratch... but I think it's just helpful to note to keep expectations in line. The drink that I ordered was made well (their beverage selection is at the very back of the menu). You can definitely tell that this is a community space, and it seemed like a number of locals filtered in throughout the lunch. There are notes on the tables that advise of a 90 minute limit for sitting at the table (not something I've ever actually seen before), and there's wifi available for use by customers. Perhaps an awkward experience was just related to the overall service? You grab a menu and choose your table if you're dining in, but you end up paying at the counter. Personally, if I'm going to sit down to eat then I'd prefer to have the check brought to the table and pay that way. The space is a bit cramped by the counter, so it seems like it'd benefit to minimize the foot traffic that has to wait there. And perhaps this is silly, but upon paying for the lunch, the server handed me my receipt and said "Just sign here", and then seemed to be somewhat... abrupt? I feel like I'm pretty low maintenance when dining out, but it just left me going "OH. Okay. Time for me to get out of the way" (it's worth noting that at the time, there was nobody waiting around, or to get to, the counter). Still, it was enjoyable to stop at Carol's Coffee & Art Bar. It's a more unique space with nice offerings.
