I’ve been going to The Matchbox Cafe for a few years now, ever since they moved here, and I’ve loved it every time.

The food is amazing—fresh, comforting, and clearly made with care. Everything people say about this place is true. The burgers really are some of the best around, cooked just right and full of flavor, and I completely understand why so many people rave about the veggie burger as well. The fries are delicious, and the menu has a great variety without feeling overwhelming.

The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with that home-style, local feel that keeps people coming back. It’s a place that truly lives up to its reputation.

Consistently excellent food and a place I’m always happy to return to. Highly recommend.

Ok so this establishment is SO good I feel compelled to get a wee bit wordy here.
My wife had the chicken pot pie, usually only a take home/away item, but they were cooking them. She loved it. I had two bites and it was amazing. My daughter had a salad which she loved and it looked amazing.
My son and I both had burgers. His was a cheeseburger with American cheese and I took mine with Blue Cheese. One of the best burgers I’ve ever had. He enjoyed his as well. The fries are 5 stars. The food is amazing and the owners are friendly and kind. We will be going back.

I went once with the family, and it was memorably unpleasant.

We were the only people there the day of visit, and one of the kids decided to sit at the counter, separate from the rest of the family, while we waited. We were advised we all had to sit in one spot rather harshly, so we chose to sit outside and wait for our food.

While ordering, I asked casually about menu options, and was given very curt responses.

The male owner was very pleasant and friendly when he brought out our food; which was good.

I cannot recommend this place based on service and interaction alone.

I’ve been coming here for years. This place has some of the best sandwiches and burgers in the Hudson valley. It’s a shame that the owners are so cold otherwise I would come here more often. The woman owner is extremely condescending and probably shouldn’t be in a customer facing position. I feel bad for her. I get anxiety just calling to place an Order. Today I came to pick up my food and asked for an extra container since I was giving a cupcake to someone and she boxed them together. The woman owner wouldn’t give me one- just offered something that wouldn’t transport it appropriately. The prices here are at a premium and the food is worth it but the rude service keeps me away.

An absolute GEM! This is simple food done exceptionally well. Every single bite we had was insanely delicious and we may just plan a drive around visiting this terrific little cafe. Don’t sleep on this amazing experience!

We have been trying to visit this place for the past 3 years and the wait was worth it.

It’s a small family-run cafe and the owner was really sweet.

We tried their matchbox veggie farm burger which was great and their vegetarian lasagna which was outstanding. Portion size was huge for lasagna since it came with 6 slices of garlic bread. We were sitting near the parking since our daughter was sleeping in the car and the owner came to give the food to the parking. The view from the parking was so nice - there was some cool breeze and the trees on the farm in front of us were moving.

We found this place on a whim and what a great find! The food was great and the owner and chef were fabulous! We aren’t from the area but if we pass through again we will be sure to stop in! We ordered the chicken sandwich, French toast, and cookies (sugar and kitchen sink). Highly recommend!!!
