This used to be our go-to refueling stop after hiking in nearby trails. We've tried many of their…read moreselections and loved every single visit. We haven't been here for a while, but a recent rainy day brought us back. As always, this place was jam packed even though it was way past lunch hour (during rush hours the line would spill out the door). It's a bakery / cafe / restaurant. There is an elaborate menu for breakfast, lunch, and desserts, plus a counter top display of freshly baked sweets and savories. It's hard to single out any items to recommend, as everything is equally amazing, with healthy, select ingredients, cooked to perfection, with eye-pleasing and mouth-watering presentation. The whole restaurant spreads over two large dining rooms, and a long veranda with outdoor seating. One orders food and drinks at the counter, receives a table card with names of nearby scenic spots (we got "Kakiat" this time), and finds a seat to wait for ordered items to turn up. I wanted to take photos of its unique and artful decor, but found it difficult to avoid including other diners in my frame. We'll definitely be back more often now!

I always look forward to coming here after a hike. There is always an assortment of different savory and sweet pastries. I had two different spinach pastries and it was really good with a coffee drink which was also good. My friends ordered sandwiches and I regret not getting one myself. Their sandwiches looked really good and they said it was good as well. It is a homey local hometown feel, similar to a hallmark movie.

There's stacks of them, either of the glazed or cinnamon sugar variety, and they are still warm from the oven usually. A fresh cider doughnut is a beautiful thing, and I personally purchase lots of them to buy the affection of my wife and children. They've also got all kinds of other confections as well, including apple fritters if you want to round out your fried apple pastry selection. I picked up one of those, but have yet to sample the pies, breads, sauces, cinnamon rolls, ice cream, cookies, honey, and more...but there's always next week. Outside, they've got all the pumpkins, gourds, flowers, and fresh produce you'd want. The owners are CLEARLY dog people, and I can get behind their plea for all of us to be the people that our dogs think we are.

I just want to say that their food and drinks are amazing!…read more I am new to the area and I stopped in today to try their "cookie butter iced latte" and their "SEC" and OH MY GOODNESS! They're absolutely amazing!!! The service was incredible, the ambiance of their establishment was stellar! I even asked for directions to the library and Karen herself gave me incredible directions. Super super helpful and amazing food! Will definitely be coming back again! Thank you for providing a great atmosphere for new customers!

Awesome garden center, gift shop, and bakery in Greenwood Lake, NY!…read more Stating the obvious to most who have been here, but a fun spot to stop for a sweet treat, a cute gift, artisanal food, and of course garden supplies and plants. The owners are super nice and always very kind and welcoming. Pro tip- tons of gluten free and vegan treats can be found here that taste like their original counterparts. Do yourself a favor and stop by on your way through and support this awesome local business!

The food was way better than we expected for a garden center that somewhat recently opened the bar & cafe area.

Lots. 2) As we were leaving, the lady behind the counter was serving ice cream, she licked the spoon--didn't realize we were standing at the counter. 3)Health inspection details on Yelp were bad, that explains the flies! Wish I would've read them before taking the drive. Things that were not so bad but not great 1) Hungry man dish prices match the portion sizes which were very small. Maybe because the griddle they use is very small--not a commercial type. More like the one you have at home. 2) No vegan options--that Yelp review that states that "all you have to do is ask", is 10 years old. I asked. The pancake mix is the kind you buy in the supermarket that is "complete". 3) No milk alternatives for coffee. That's the best I can do. We were better off making breakfast at home.

Just super good . Well toasted and perfect taste . Kids pasta was average . They have so much options now for vegetarians . . What can I say.. these new service areas in 87 , all look alike the same . We went to 2-3 service areas and everything looked exactly similar and nice . So many seats to sit and eat. Very comfortable couch to take some rest during your travel. Parking was the only headache in this location. There was very small parking lot in the front of the building and we had to wait for 5 to 10 minutes to get a parking. 4 stars

Definitely didn't look anything like the picture on the screen, but it was bread and a schmear of avocado with some seasoning. Service is usually pretty quick, which is helpful when I'm traveling.
