“THE BREAD IS AMAZING!!!!!“

“Wine-tasting buddy, Marji, and I often grab a sandwich and head up to Furnace Brook Winery to enjoy sipping and sitting (either in their screened gazebo overlooking the orchard or in front of their huge stone fireplace). We FINALLY hit a day when Ben's was open, as we'd been wanting to try it but not hitting its open days (Thursday - Sunday, catering to the weekend City crowd). Menu, which changes regularly, is printed on blackboards high on the wall; there are a few small tables for eating in, and at least one table outside for nice weather. Staff was courteous and knowledgeable. We both selected the open-faced smoked salmon sandwich and a cookie and headed up to the winery. One bite and we were sold! I don't recall what the bread was, but it was grainy and tasty. Cream cheese was nicely flavored with fresh garlic and chives (I think) and complemented the smoked salmon perfectly. Fresh, homemade baked goods are local, but not theirs - cookies were yummy. Ben's will definitely be our go-to for a pick-up lunch on the way to the winery - as long as our schedules coincide! A nice addition to Chatham's several small restaurants.“

“I’ve lived all over the country, including Brooklyn and these Bagels are the best. The sandwich fillings are quality and the bagels and whipped cream cheese never disappoint. Service is quick. I do wish the coffee were better or that they had espresso drinks but the bagels and toppings are far superior to the other bagel place in town that tourists rave about.“

“Came for the donuts, had a great conversation with the staff. I got 1 of every donut they had available at the time I was there. They were what I consider the best donuts of the many I've tried. Also I tried the cannoli and it was also probably the best cannoli I've tried in NY. Will definitely return.
Finally had the chance to return for the cronuts and they were great, so fresh and fluffy, also tried a cherry Fritter wasn't as good as I had hoped it was a bit flat and could've used some filling to help with it being a bit bready and slightly dry.“

“This easily became our go-to favorite breakfast/brunch place during our Hudson Valley trip. The atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. Highly recommend the breakfast porridge. The service was consistently good even on a Saturday morning when it was standing room only.“

“I have been to both the Kinderhook and Slingerlands locations and they are both amazing! Delicious food, best kettle boiled Brooklyn-style bagels, and authentic pizza. yum!“

“I couldn't decide what I was hungry for when I entered the store. I walked around then left. A lovely person came out to see what was up. I told her & we walked back into the store. I roamed around again & finally ordered a BLT. One of the BEST ever. Was it about making a sale? Sure, it's a business, but a business with heart. We have so appreciated their return to Claverack & especially love the pastries. The eggplant parmigiana is also really good. But that BLT?! ?“
