“OMG, the best small cafe in the Hudson Valley, and it's a small book store. The young ladies that work there are the best baristas I have ever met. The location is in the heart of Harriman, and there is parking. Just don't go over the speed limit. The cop will pull you over. I had an #americano and a creme brulee lcheese cake that was to die for so light and delicious. The location is a gem a welcome to the neighborhood. Go and try it. You will go back.“

“I've been frequenting Diplomat Cafe in Goshen, NY since I opened my office down the street in 2022. I must say, the owner is incredibly sweet, the lattes are delicious, and the pastries...well, let's just say I've added a few lbs. lately and I don't care who knows it. Very highly recommended!“

“Some places are just unique. My wife and I are extremely happy to have the owners creativity and extremely high standards shine in her brick and mortar space here in Warwick - rather than in Brooklyn or somewhere else similar. Both the ferments and drinks, as well as the bakes are really worth trying, as well as other seasonal items (e.g extraordinary kombucha in the summer). Looking forward to tasting more interesting creations from the talented owner.“

“So glad they re-opened and not sure its the same people that ran it before but I digress. Just three words on the donuts, service and atmosphere: Fab-U-Lous....! Don't sleep on this little shop next to a very decent Pizza joint as well..“

“Always like coming here. A bit out of the way but good coffee, food, and atmosphere. Only issue were the sandwiches (ordered 4 different options) all were VERY HEAVILY toasted in butter. Way too much and leaves it very greasy. Coffee was nice and hot and all the staff were super friendly and helpful.“

“Leave your expectations at home and arrive with an open palette then you will be able to enjoy the best Czech cookies and pastries north of NYC. A treasure of a spot which bristles cleanness and sophistication. It is worth a drive if you are not from the area, it is remiss to not explore if you are in town.“

“We are new to the area so Googled good breakfast spots and this came up. Upon arrival, the staff and everyone inside (clearly locals that are there all the time!) were extremely kind. The place is small and had one woman hard at work cooking and 1 waiter, a tell-tale sign that the food is going to be GOOD-and it was. I had an omelet and my boyfriend got a wrap, both so fresh and so tasty that I am still thinking about breakfast and its dinnertime. They have self-serve different types of coffees, which was really cute too. Will definitely be going back soon!!“

“I always make my boyfriend wake up to get us bacon egg and cheese's on Fridays when i'm over because they are that delicious. I haven't actually stopped into the restaurant but I always call and they are so lovely on the phone.“
