Mariabella is the best employee I have ever experienced in my LIFE. So kind and sweet, treated me well and made sure that my order was perfect! It’s a day and a half later and I’m still thinking about my P.T.C. SO GOOD!
Visited New Paltz for the first time and I could not be happier that this was the first place I walked into! The atmosphere was on point while the employees were helpful and sweet and came with some great recommendations! I believe Izzy served me and she was knowledgeable, kind and gave me a great experience! I’ll definitely be back!
This is one of my favorite places, ever. It's tucked away like a hidden gem for locals with outdoor seating and a loft over the bakery area with indoor seating and a play area for kids. It's one of the only places I can go to eat out with my child and actually relax!!!!! There's a wide variety of foods, not just baked goods but breakfast and lunch sandwiches as well as hot and cold coffees, teas, espresso drinks, and brand drinks for the picky ones (like bottled juice, seltzer, etc.) I appreciate they celebrate and bake for all different holidays. When I've ordered cakes the bakers have done amazing work. I FREAKING LOVE THIS PLACE
The bakery is sooo good I love the onion roll and the peanut butter brownie😍😍 every time I come to New Paltz I make time to go to the Bakery because of the friendly staff and yummy menu!
I was amazed walking into this establishment. The immediate factor that made me decide to be a repeat customer was when I met Bella. Bella mesmerized me I had never tipped someone 50% before in my life and today was the day I realized that a business is only as good as the hard workers that create such an atmosphere… I will be back. Please, if you give them a raise you’ll make back the money ten fold in a week . Employee of the year.
I’m in New Paltz all the time and have seen this place before, but I never tried it until my most recent trip. This place was so adorable, and I would definitely come back. The coffee was excellent, as was my bacon, egg, and cheese. The staff and service were great as well! The servers were so sweet and made sure my order was correct. I couldn’t be happier with my experience, and you best believe I’ll be back.
Best coffee in New Paltz. Sandwiches and bakery goods are 6 stars. (And for those who forget) Remember you are not on Long Island or in NYC, (fortunately) everything moves at a more civilized pace in New Paltz. If you can't relax and wait your turn, go home.
A total rock solid institution. Quirky like New Paltz itself the new owner has made a number of great updates, new selection, and better baked products. Long live The Bakery!
This has not been mentioned enough: there is a kids' corner on the upper floor equipped with a kitchen, books, and crayons! Unfortunately, the coffee was cold, and we did not enjoy the scone or bagel.
First of all, the food is amazing! Try the bagel and smoked salmon, it’s a must! The service is great: my bagel took a couple minutes longer to make because of a new trainee, and the owner/manager slipped a few free cookies into order as a thank you for my patience! It’s those kind of human moments that make a place truly worthy of returning many a time. That and the delicious food and cute outdoor space with lots of cute birds of course.
