I enjoyed the Pantry when I first moved here 20 years ago, however in visits the last few years (I…read morewon a Pantry gift card as part of the town's restaurant week), I seem to hit disappointment after disappointment. (See attached photos and descriptions for some other recent misses.) Today I ordered a cold matcha latte with lavender. The counter server (I believe it was owner Zoe) was quick and friendly, however the drink had a hard to detect flavor of matcha, and was without "mouth feel" of matcha -- more like a clear plastic tumbler of iced milk. The lavender syrup was never blended, and only detected after being able to see it at the bottom of the clear plastic tumbler. (The latte appeared to have been blended -- same pale green color.) All this for around $6. Two stars for the availability of nice kitchen accessories, but I will never order a beverage nor sandwich again. I have come to conclusion that customers return here because it's a nice setting to sit and privately chat with a friend.

What a WONDERFUL little throw-back of a diner! The servers are absolutely charming (thank you to…read morethe beautiful, jewelry-making Christina), pricing is circa 1995, there's a great children's menu -- and there is clearly some skill in this kitchen, generally. I love that you get unlimited refills on coffee ($2), which was actually quite decent by diner standards. Where else can you find that nowadays?! Eggs were well prepared and fluffy across the board. I loved that my veggie omelet ($8.75) came generously filled with sauteed mushrooms, sweet peppers, and onions. It came with toast and a side of either fruit or home fries. The multigrain, which our server disclosed was from a bakery in NY, was fresh, well slathered with butter, and far better than it had to be as a non-headline component of the meal. Home fries were beautifully seasoned, though I do prefer mine a little more browned. Fruit salad on our visit included a slice of melon, a few grapes and a slice of orange. Our eight year old got a children's meal with one egg, home fries, toast and juice ($4.50). She enjoyed her fluffy scrambled eggs, which she ate sandwiched between two halves of a generously buttered English muffin. My only nitpick: You could taste a touch of margarine in the eggs, which I personally detest. Still, the food was head and shoulders better than (and half as expensive as) anything you can find at Mohawk Mountain, where we are usually resigned to grub. We are so, so thrilled to find this sweet little place a hop and a skip away from the mountain. It's a perfect place to refuel after early morning ski practice!

My wife ordered an egg sandwich with a side of potatoes, I had a sausage & cheese omelette. Eggs were "fluffy". The breakfast sandwich was unusual in that it was like an omelette on a Portuguese roll. The potatoes could've been cooked a bit longer. Overall, a fairly average breakfast at a reasonable price.

This wonderful little grocery / cafe soft opened three months ago in January -- and I'm furious…read morewith myself for driving by it four times a weekend for so long without checking it out! Located at the funny intersection of CT-4 and CT-7 (where from certain directions you have to craaaaaaanne your neck to see if there's oncoming traffic) and just a short drive away from Mohawk Mountain, this bright, clean newcomer is small, but absolutely chock full of wonders. What we tried of the menu was truly excellent and it makes me wonder who is hiding out in the kitchen, here. Whoever it is has mad skills.* - The chicken, white bean and kale soup ($8) was clearly made from scratch, with care, the broth clean, rich, and flavorful. - Thai steak salad (grilled skirt, spicy aromatic herbs, parched rice, tangy dressing; $12) had no business being this good given that it's from a tiny general store in a tiny town in CT. This Isaan-style classic was surprisingly legit, pungent with fish sauce, packed full of lemongrass, lime juice, mint, and other herbs. It wasn't Isaan spicy (which quite literally makes me cry... but happy tears), but it was spicy. The steak was perfectly tender / chewy, sliced a little more thickly than I personally prefer for this preparation -- but of course that's a matter of preference. I would've loved to have had this with sticky rice. (I noticed after the fact that you can get a side of rice for $2. Next time!) - A hazelnut tiramisu tart ($7) had a nice, crisp crust; coffee-laced cream; possibly marzipan as part of the filling; and crisp hazelnuts on top. The adults thought it was lovely, but the kids are still extremely partial to the baked goods at Wilson's in nearby Kent. The produce in the case (lettuce and other greens, winter root vegetables like radishes, turnips, and sweet potatoes) were very fresh, gorgeous to behold. Pricing was reasonable, e.g. what you'd pay at a farm stand or farmer's market, though of course more than what you'd pay at a grocery chain. There were lovely looking cheeses and butters in the fridge, too, Ronnybrook Farm yogurt, dried chilis, spices, tea and coffee, maple syrup, and even ceramics made by a local artist alongside a few household contraptions. The staff were REALLY nice (and very fashionable, I should add) and there are two clean, all-gender bathrooms -- pretty impressive for such a small place. There are just a few tables set up for eating in, and a counter with bar stools in a side room -- but when the weather warms, we'll enjoy taking this beautiful food to the picnic tables at Kent Falls. * I'll answer my own question. Based on my shameless Google stalking, it looks like the chefs are Tyler Forve, who per this website (https://www.cornwallmarket.com/), trained under several "Michelin level chefs in the San Francisco Bay area" and CIA-trained sous chef Emma Terhaar (https://lakevillejournal.com/country-market-reopens-with-fresh-take-on-local-food).
