The selection rotates from day to day, but he will make custom orders (like wedding cakes) if you request in advance. This shop is what you would expect in France: no frills, traditional wood & glass cabinets, no unnecessary frosting or decorations on the pastries--just deliciousness. Stop in whenever you can. The only thing to note is that Antoine only accepts cash and Venmo, no credit cards, so be prepared to pay and pay well for his hard work.

Amazing food, welcoming atmosphere, pretty garden, bright indoor space - dine indoors or out! It's…read morehard to choose a favorite, but the Brimstone BLT on a fresh baked brioche is legendary. The Grilled Mediterranean Salad - either chicken or shrimp - is another standout, with fresh made hummus! Refreshing blueberry basil lemonade in the spring/summer, tasty chipotle hot chocolate in the cool weather makes visiting Brimstone a year round lunch spot, especially with their one of a kind seasonal soups. For an extra special treat, try a slice of cake or even better, order one for your birthday - divine. The blueberry oatmeal cookies deserve an award too. Above and beyond is the warm and attentive service. Anthony and his crew are exceptional. 1000 stars.

The staff was accommodating and really went out of their way to find us comfortable seating. The food was so good, my husband who is not a chicken lover was so happy with his chicken sandwich (I wish I had gotten the actual name of the sandwich) he said he would order it again. My FIL loved his Shrimp Arugula salad. He couldn't stop eating it. My quiche was excellent so delicious , a blend of the ham, cheese and eggs with a flaky crust, and the soup was also delicious and creamy. I wish I had tried one of their lattes they looked so good. They had a steady stream of customers so they are busy. Try them out.

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.

Quirky fun place in Windham. It's a mix of general store, souvenir shop, bakery and restaurant…read more The store is packed to the brim with a mix of small business goodies, big box names, and everything in between. The sauces and jams are made in house. They sell main stream candy repackaged in general store packaging for an up charge. There's Windham and Catskill souvenirs. There's stuff made by local artists along with big box toys and items. There are a few cats living in the store and restaurant - all are super friendly. The restaurant is nice but the service is extremely slow and could be a touch nicer. There are multiple signs talking about the whole world being understaffed. Just be prepared to spend a while. The waitress was fine but clearly very busy. We had mentioned wanting to get dessert at the beginning but when we were done eating, she had just brought us our check - we were too fully anyway. I had the garden salad sandwich on farm bread. The avocado wasn't the freshest and there was only one tiny piece of tomato - this will probably be a good sandwich in peak summer. The sandwiches came with chips and salsa. The store made mango salsa is delicious. Locally made root beer in a bottle was delicious and unique. The baked goods were quite pricey (almost $9 for a small square of raspberry bread). The bathrooms are on the otherwise by the kids toys.

The hot apple apple cider donuts in particular were excellent and rival our incumbent apple cider donut favorite, the Cider Mill in Clinton NY.

Everything we tried was so phenomenal that we came and waited in line for 20+ minutes the following day. He even remembered us! It's a small shop but they have a few tables so if you can get a table, it'd be a comfortable place to sit and enjoy. Cream biscuit- simple and perfect. We were all fighting over this one. If you ask he'll give you jam and butter too. Chive and cheddar biscuit- deliciously cheesy and a real winner. Chubby squirrel- if you like fruit filled coffee cake, you'll be a fan of this one! It wasn't my favorite. Banana crumble cake- this was a definite favorite! The cake wasn't too sweet and the crumb added a nice sweetness. Apple tart- this was well received by our group! I liked it. All in all, this bakery is amazing! I wish I could eat the banana crumble cake for breakfast every morning.

I have to say this was one of the best cookies I have ever eaten. I am not only a baker my self but a true cookie snob. I would pay to take a class to learn how to make those. We will be back. They are currently selling out of the super cool community art center. I can't even post a pic because they did not last long enough.
