We were stuck waiting for AAA and this shop gave us a warm and welcoming place to stay out of the cold. The coffee was excellent, the Barnstable was kind, and the merchandise was eclectic.

Fun, multi-use cafe, and a shop that sells entertaining food products, gifts, homewares, books, accessories and more. There's also an art gallery that had an interesting photography exhibit of abandoned places.
We had a nice iced hibiscus tea and a iced coffee.

I wish I can put 0 start cashiers didn’t provide a good service I went there with my kids for a coffee and then we use the outside sitting after we stand up she slammed the the book box door and took the tables inside and gave me a really bad look don’t know why but people like that don’t deserve to have a business don’t support business like this they are nasty . It was not closing time I was going to said something because she made my kids feel bad but I preferred to live a review of my experience in this horrible palace

Cute little coffee shop with tourist trap merchandise and goods (hence the name). Not a bad spot, decent coffee, fun to stop in and peruse. Yes the prices are a little high, but that’s implied by the name. A fun stop.

Citiot is a welcoming community spot to spot to grab a coffee or attend an event. I always have fun shopping their artfully curated books and design objects. The warmest people work here!

“CITIOT: Where Matcha Meets Matisse and Coffee Comes with a Side of Charm”
Let me be clear: CITIOT is not just a café—it’s a full-blown Catskill cultural experience wrapped in a cup of matcha and tied with a bow of artistic flair.
From the moment I walked in, I felt like I had stepped into the cozy living room of the world’s most stylish (and well-read) artist friend. I was warmly greeted like a long-lost creative cousin. The vibe? Think Warhol meets Wes Anderson in the Hudson Valley. There’s a rustic farm table where people are sketching, journaling, plotting novels—probably creating the next great American art movement right there over their croissants.
And speaking of those croissants: buttery, flaky, tender pastry clouds sent directly from a Parisian dream. I got emotional. Not ashamed.
Now, let’s talk about my iced matcha. It was earthy, refreshing, and smoothed out my soul in all the right ways. Then—out of nowhere—the barista hands me a COFFEE CANDY. A single, humble-looking hard candy that delivered a creamy, bold, espresso-kissed Italian daydream straight to my tastebuds. I’m now plotting how to smuggle two pounds of these heavenly nuggets back home without judgment.
The barista? An absolute gem. Warm, funny, detail-oriented, and somehow managed to make each guest feel like the main character. If they had a fan club, I’d sign up yesterday.
Oh—and let’s not forget the shop itself: part boutique, part gallery, part gourmet pantry. You’ll find gorgeous books, local artisan goods, quirky art, nostalgic toys, an antique wooden bicycle, and things you never knew you needed (until you’re holding them at checkout with zero regrets).
CITIOT is a must-visit hidden gem that’s worth the detour off the Thruway. It’s the kind of place that refills your spirit while refueling your caffeine levels. Whether you come for the croissants, stay for the espresso candy, or simply need a moment of Zen-meets-design-meets-cozy—we’ll probably run into each other here again soon.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a candy addiction to feed.

I didn't try any food items due to dietary restrictions. There seemed to be mostly coffees (lattes, etc) and some baked goods.
I purchased a delightful canned Strawberry Basil soda. So delicious!
The art experience of smashing plates was so much fun and really the whole reason that drove me there in the first place. I will definitely be back to spend more time.

Cute cafe. Had to make a pitstop to work for a bit, had a matcha latte which was good too.
Aesthetically pleasing cafe. The barista was welcoming and provided a memorable service. All the goods in the cafe are well thought of with superior quality. Very curated to one’s taste.
