When they advertised homemade baked goods, they were understating. Man, this place is a gem. I had the breakfast sandwich which was melt-in-your mouth, off the charts, eye-rolling good. The herb mayo? Holy cow! Hubby ordered the breakfast burrito and he said that it was the best he'd ever eaten. We were in the Catskills, so we had to have a decent bagel, and the gluttony was excused because we knew we weren't going to have the real thing again. We walked away fat, full, and happy! Service? Amazing. Ambience? Charming. Clean. Delightful.

The salad itself wasn't bad. I enjoyed the dressing. The chicken was mediocre at best. No seasoning on the chicken and it was a little rubbery.

However they do deserve a five star rating because they are offering something different compared to any other place in Catskill. The place is called "The salad bar" however their sandwiches are just as good if not better than the salad. The ingredients are always fresh and I've never been disappointed. Prices are fair considering the quality and overall we need more places that are different and unique like this in the village. They have small cozy area for you to chill and enjoy your meal and the service is always quick and friendly. Many of the towns in the Hudson Valley have been revitalizing their downtown areas with great success but Catskill Village seems to be moving a lot slower compared to those other areas. The salad bar is one of those places that's helping it move forward.

We tried the yuzu and also the matcha flavored shortbread/cookies. They were wonderful Then we had sandwiches - egg salad and also a ham and cheese.

The bread is so delicious.$11 each sandwich - which actually felt like a bargain for the quality and quantity. Next time we will try the asparagus . Lots of cool Japanese pantry items in stock including hard to find specialty sesame oil and black sesame paste ..etc. I rarely give 5 stars - but between the service, the great food, and the chill atmosphere - this is a winner. We will be back! Arigato!

Great vegetarian options and gluten free options for cakes. The blueberry olive oil cake and apple cake were both delicious, super moist and soft-- the crumbly top was delicious and not too sweet. The egg salad sandwich with arugula was very tasty-- the artisanal bread was fresh and the egg salad was so creamy and savory. It also comes on round milk bread. Love how the sandwiches come in half and full portions making it easy to try different ones. We also tried the curried carrot, sprouts, and cream cheese sandwich was equally delicious and fresh-- a great vegetarian option. The ham and Gruyère sandwich with sundried tomato aioli was excellent-- thick slices of ham and cheese, really well-balanced and satisfying. Friendly owner who makes these delicious sandwiches throughout the day. Can't wait to go back! There is a small round indoor table for seating for a few people but most of it is for take out, which we happily did.

The brisket was perfectly smoked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The pulled pork was tender and delicious, and the fire sausage had just the right amount of heat without overpowering the smoky goodness. The potato salad was fresh and flavorful, and the mac & cheese was rich, creamy, and the perfect side to complete the meal. Great food, generous portions, and friendly service. You can tell they put a lot of pride into what they do. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the Catskills. Highly recommended!

Decided to try this place today thanks to a recommendation from the bro. The place is small but it…read morehas a decent number of tables inside for a few parties - along with outdoor, picnic table type seating on one side and bistro type seating on another side. You order at the register and take your very large portioned plates wherever you'd like to sit. There are quite a few baked goods right at the register which looked great but I restrained myself, this time. I ordered the 4 rib platter which came with two sides. I got the mac & cheese and pickled beets. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and had good flavor. They give you a side of BBQ sauce in case you wanted some. The mac & cheese seemed like it was baked which is a plus for me. The only drawback is that it needed a little more flavor. Maybe a sharper, more flavorful cheese would help. I just put some salt and pepper on it and that helped a ton. The pickled beets were as expected - and I love beets! The platter also comes with a mini cornbread LOAF! Seriously, it's a good size mini. It was delicious, slightly sweet, and contained corn kernels. Also, a side of sliced pickles come with the platter and any sandwich. We were warned that they were spicy today and that was the truth! It was a bit over $40 for so much good food. We had to box up some of the food and it can definitely feed another person. Also, service was friendly and fast. I'd come back to try more items - probably including one of those baked goods :)

It's a cute place, though, and maybe other items taste better....

Vegetarians rejoice!…read more Where do I start? How about with the best damn sandwich I've had in years. This place was recommended to us, as my wife and I are vegetarians. I ordered the Fontina Panino (vegan sausage, fontina cheese, arugula and fennel mustard on ciabatta) and a cortado to drink. We take out seat in the very cool back room, and only after 5 or so minutes the drink and food arrives. Now I am a complete foodie, really tough on everything I eat, but after one bite I was in love. To the point where I asked Lauren, the owner, what mustard they were using, and then ordered a panini press when I got home hoping to recreate the magic. Perfectly chewy bread, just the right balance of sweet and savory, and that mustard. Truly amazing. My wife ordered the avocado toast which she said was perfection. I wish I could bundle this place up and ship it to New Haven because I'd be eating one of those sandwiches every week. As for everything else: The service was great. The atmosphere laid back and funky. Everything was reasonable priced. LOVE LOVE LOVE Cafe Joust!
