Cafes near Keene Valley

“This "farm market" is really a farm market but also has wonderful soup and terrific corn bread and excellent brownies. I also purchased a chunk of excellent cheddar. After we ate our lunch, I went back in and bought a quart of soup and more cornbread to take home. Wish it were not so far away! Staff was great! This was a totally wonderful, and delicious experience.“

“Stopped in yesterday after years of driving past on our way out of town. We had made the mistake of grabbing a dreadful egg sandwich at the nearby Stewart’s, and thought to pop in here, looking for a suitable replacement before hitting the highway….WOW! We will never pass without stopping in again. Our party had an outstanding blueberry muffin, a delicious bagel with cream cheese, and an amazing egg sandwich that was determined to be “THE best egg sandwich. EVER.” Incredibly friendly service, a welcoming atmosphere, and super nice patrons to chat with made our visit all the nicer. Can’t wait til we’re back in town to visit again, because I want to try everything on the menu.“

“Absolutely adorable shop with staple and unique food and personal care items. This was a great place to pick up some cute holiday gifts (fancy dish towels, things for making craft cocktails at home, soaps, etc). They also make baked goods in the store. I loved that each item had the simple ingredients listed with it on the name-- this made it easy for needing to ask if you have food allergies, but also terrific to see that the treats are made with basic ingredients like you'd use at home! I tried a snickerdoodle whoopie pie with cream cheese icing inside. The cookies were perfect and the frosting was a bit on the super sweet side but that's how I like my frosting so it was delicious! My mom got a slice of pie- the flavor was pretty good but since it was kept in the fridge, the crust lost a bit of the crunch/flakiness. We bought a take and bake frozen raspberry pie for the next time we have guests over. Mom also got a brownie, which she said was very good as well. The wide selection of pre made salads and sandwiches looked great as well as the large selection of take and bake meals and side dishes. This is my favorite type of a local gem to discover. It's a perfect spot to stop on the way to or from Lake Placid. I actually visited twice in the same day! It's open Friday-Monday (as of when I visited in November'23). I think I'll actually head back to that area next weekend and stop back in to pick up a few gifts and some more baked goods! Update--- We also did end up going back to the shop the following weekend for some more shopping. Customer service could use some improvement. **As I said in my main review, we bought a frozen pie to take and bake. We baked it for Thanksgiving l there was no scent while it baked which was unusual. It wasn't the prettiest looking when it came out of the oven. More unfortunately, no one liked it! My mom said it was the worst she's ever tasted. The crust was so thick and the filling and crust both had a strange aftertaste. This was very disappointing because the treats we had in the store were delicious. If the review was based only on the pie, I'd be a 1/5 stars.“
