“Got a couple of egg and cheese sandwiches on our way out of town. They took a few minutes because they really are made to order, but service was excellent. The sandwiches were fresh and delicious, and we picked up a loaf of the chocolate babka to take home. Also grabbed some frozen pierogi, which meant we didn't have to wait for the shop around the corner to open.“
“I stop here every now and then when I'm driving upstate to my brother's place by Rhinebeck. Him and his wife and kids (lots of kids) are all vegan, so I can generally get a good variety of treats for the house. The bakery products always look lovely and the store's overall aesthetic is very nice, but I find the actual taste and flavors to be very hit or miss- some things are excellent, some very mediocre- but there's so few vegan options upstate, so this spot is certainly filling a void. However, the staff very frequently are unwelcoming, sometimes to the point of outright rudeness. They seem to treat their paying customers in a very snobbish manner for some reason, which is unfortunate. I often walk out wondering why the overall experience was so strange, but I guess it's just something that you have to live with if you want to have a vegan dessert in the Hudson Valley.“
“This place is great and I can't recommend it enough. Not only is the quality of food amazing but the staff and service have always been extremely friendly, welcoming with a non-pretentious attitude. This place is accesible for local Kingston residents, unlike some of the gentrification cafes that have popped up in recent years that cater strictly to tourists or recent, wealthy transplants. The prices here are actually fair- like it doesn't cost $12 for a breakfast sandwich with no meat on it- fair. Very clean and like I said, high quality taste in food. I always get a breakfast sandwich but their lunch options are great too. There is no better place to get a breakfast sandwich in Kingston. I love Fat Cat !“
“The baked goods are amazing but consistently sold out of cardamom buns and cinnamon rolls….? Also no ability to heat sausage rolls and ham and cheese. The croissants are unmatched! Paris has competition. Seems like they are growing because they are delicious but be prepared to wait.“
“Like many, I made the mistake of driving past this place about 100x before finally going in. Wow. Amazing goodies! Including an entire section of delicious grain and gluten free items! Hidden gems: the black and white cookies are some of the best i've ever had and the black and white "explosions" are some of the most interesting little treats i've found.“
“Deising’s bakery is hidden gem of Kingston. It’s small town dinner meets incredibly bakery . My wife and had lunch there today and it was awesome . The staff are super friendly and accommodating . The food is reasonably priced and portion size is more than reasonable . The bake goods are delicious The only issue is there is limited parking but circle around the parking lot you won’t regret it .“
“Best bagels around. If you think other local bagels are “good”, then you havnt tried bagels and bites.. but be warned, once you have one of their bagels, no other bagel will come close and you will be disappointed that it’s not a bagels and bites bagel.. the owner is also heavily involved in his own business which adds authenticity “
“This place was such a gem. Our group came for breakfast during our weekend trip in Kingston. The hot drinks came in unique beautiful mugs and the food was delicious, with a lot of vegetarian options. I got a brekkie sandwich - the bacon was a little tough, but taste was good. One side of the cafe is mainly for ordering and then there is another side with seating - one long table that could seat a big group and a couple other small tables.“
“The food was amazing! I had the egg sandwich on an olive mini focaccia made the "house" way, with mustard and NY cheddar cheese --it was DELICIOUS! I also recommend the chia latte. On top of the food being delicious, Essell the chef and owner has create such a fun and welcoming environment. My friends and I ate our breakfast and stayed in the bakery of nearly 3 hours conversing in conversation with Essell and other members of the community that stopped in. Truly so such a fun experience and we felt very welcomed into the Rosendale community! Thank you all!“
