10 Best Cafes near Chatham

“My wife and I stopped here after she went to a yarn store near by. When we saw the name Bimi's cheese shop, I got very excited. CHEESE IS LIFE after all. I was very happy to see that they served a variety of sandwiches for lunch and even more excited to see they had a Raclette sandwich. This is something I had wanted to try for a while. My expectations were surpassed. It was a delicious sandwich. Raclette, prosciutto, cornichons, on a delicious baguette. My wife had their standard prosciutto sandwich which she loved as well. Could not recommend this place any more. It's a pretty long drive for us but I think we will be regulars now.“

“Five of us celebrated a birthday at Fork & Whisk yesterday, and we loved it. Three of us are repeat customers, and two were introduced. They also plan to return with others. The service was accommodating, friendly, and fun! The menu offered so many delicious choices. My favorite is the Tuscan beans and greens; however, I sampled all the others from my generous friends. I highly recommend you go there for a delightful gastronomical experience!“

“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.“

“Purchased a package of bagels and a loaf of sourdough bread at the farmers market in Troy. The bread is overbaked and the worse bagels that I ever tasted. Do better!“

“They have the best banana bread here! Highly recommend. It unbelievably delicious! I got one of the salads. It was sooo fresh and nice. I really liked it. Want to go back to try more stuff there :) They have nice outside seating for good weather days!“

“We had our family Thanksgiving meal here today. Everything was perfect! The restaurant was very cozy, the service was fantastic and the food was very good! The baklava was incredible! Well done, Whitestone owners and staff!“

“We happened to be traveling in the area and found the diner online. We popped in and we were blown away. The atmosphere was so clean and pleasant. The waitresses were sweet and attentive. The food was delicious and extremely reasonably priced. Even though it's an hour and a half away from us we plan on going there again soon. It's worth the drive!!!“

“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!“

“We just had a GREAT meal we had ordered for Christmas. Enchiladas, beans, rice, chips, pico…..everything was fantastic. I love this restaurant and can’t wait to eat the leftovers.“
