I got the gluten free vegan savory chickpea pancakes. I have gotten some good things from outdated in the past but i know that they also fall flat in their vegan food options.I’ve been vegan for 8 years and the food combining of this just was odd. The chickpea pancakes were dry… and a bit flat.They could use psyllium husks like the bread brand Schar uses for their gluten free vegan breads… to give it more springiness, more fluffiness that you’d want from a pancake.Using tempeh with a pancake was an odd choice as well. It was topped with avocado and cashew cream. Once the dollop of cashew cream is eaten with the pancakes and tempeh, you are left with two pieces of dryness, pancakes that fall short and tempeh pieces and some pieces of avocado.Luckily I had some applesauce with me and used it to put on the pancakes which made them a bit more edible… a bit like dry but edible latkes.Tempeh is one of the oldest meat alternatives in the book… it is 2022, there are SO many other options. Tempeh kinda reminds me of 1990s health food stores where you had tofu as the only other option and it wasn’t cooked in a way that was exactly palatable.Tempeh really works best for select sandwiches and used sparingly always. Dipping sauces that are well curated would have helped this dish tremendously.

Used to come here frequently before the pandemic hit. First time back in a while. Food was great as usual but I must say, the gentleman taking our order was pretty rude. Literally rolled his eyes as we were ordering because we had a question or 2 about their baked goods. No smile, no thanks for coming. It went from a dine in to a take out real quick because we didn't feel wanted there. I work in the hospitality field and I understand, we all have bad days, but taking it out on the customer is not the way to go about it. I'm all about the service at any establishment. The food doesn't have to be amazing but just showing your patrons that you're happy that they are there goes a long way. Not sure if we'll be back.

Vegetarian cafe with so many unique food options! Love that they sell golden milk. Ambiance is on point and the little apothecary jars for sale are awesome. Highly recommended!

No longer recommend. Service was mediocre, scones too dry, and they no longer use regular dishes or cups. Everything is served in paper. I guess this is great for the dishwasher, although it makes you question is they even have one any longer. Was a regular before but never plan to go back nor recommend to anyone else to do so.

Coffee + Vintage/ Antique items all for sale. It’s a nice place to hang out, have coffee chat, Most of people come and work here, Reading and else.

Asked for a very specific amount of milk (less than half the cup), didn’t get it, and then I asked for a remake and the guy proceeded to lecture me about how ice melts. How does every barista get my order right and this guy decided to be rude to me? I am visiting from out of town and this put a very bad taste in my mouth for this coffee shop

Very good place. Everything is tasty and healthy. The heart of palm crab cake has a good crunchy taste from the heart of palm. The muesli is a good source of protein and fibres. The green scramble has a good portion of goat cheese inside so goes well with the toast. The carrot cake pancake is very interesting, you do taste the carrot cake lol. Drinks are overall good.

I'm currently enjoying my Vanilla Rooibos Chai Tea Latte on the drive home from Kingston, but the service today left a bitter taste in my mouth. Yelpers, please check your receipts and what you are charged before inserting your card chip. It could have been an innocent mistake, but I was charged almost double for what I ordered--a tea and a chocolate bar. My friend caught the mistake and brought it up to the barista. The barista did not apologize for the error and questioned out loud what my latte actually cost until I pointed it out on the sign behind them ($4). My $9 was immediately refunded by the manager. Again, this is no reflection on the quality of the beverages provided--I am really enjoying my latte--but on the quality of service which I believe completes the experience.

I gave this place three(3) tries. Three separate occasions with three different orders at three different times of the day. Once was pre-covid to provide you with some backdrop. Every time I walked out shaking my head. I am renaming this spot to "outdated Hipster hype cafe" Yes you will absolutely encounter the usual hipster untrendy trendy, unoriginal hack decor, uninspired style and of course the unwelcoming uncool employees and customers? Which is worse? I say the customers because they eat up this ridiculous. The food is best described as going to a friend's house that is really good and into cooking as a hobby. But essentially they are not professionals they are just really good at it as a hobby. It's basically a tourist trap. Are they ripping you off? No. However it's a place that relies on gimmicks. Maybe that should be the name. "Outdated gimmick cafe" Also to be noted. All three times there was one individual amongst the other workers giving it their best but 10 seconds away from losing their mind. I don't believe it was the same individual all three times. Perhaps the last two it was? Anyway expect at least one individual to be working and attempting to hold it all together and the rest including the customers to be just to cool to even breathe the same air as you.

Review number two... I went here six years ago and had a terrible experience. Thought I'd give it another shot today. Yelp says they are open until 5pm on Friday's so we drove 20 minutes from Tivoli to get there. At 4:15 they were closed with staff still in the restaurant. What a total S H I T H O L E We will never attempt to try this dirty disgusting hole in the wall again. I'll make sure to spread the word as well.
Breakfast cafe located inside an antique store is a cool vibe however definitely more a cafe vibe vs a breakfast restaurant - Starbucks in the 1800s. Food homemade and fresh. Breakfast sandwiches were delicious and scones were great. Coffee was okay, my fiancees maple latte was better. This place definitely exceeds in the unique aspect but probably better places in the area.

Stopped here for quick breakfast. Coffee and food is ok. But lot of antique stuff to purchase.

Love the cafe, just wish you were open earlier and more often.

Very tasty food, but notably slow service. The shelves of antiques are probably meant to give the restaurant a hip vibe, but it feels old and dingy. I would come back, but only for call-ahead takeout.

We visited Outdated, Antique Cafe on our way back from Cherry Picking in Red Hook since we really needed a cup of coffee to keep us awake.Their decor is cool and arsty with lots of vintage furniture. It's a great & cozy place to stay for a couple of hours if we had time. We had 1 Iced Latte & 1 Hot Latte and the drinks were decent & refreshing.
