7 Best Vegan Restaurants near Windham

“Shout out to Justice’s mom! She’s the chef here and kind of a genius. My friends and I stopped at Albergo for breakfast during upstate art weekend and it was the highlight of our trip. The food was incredible, and the ambience was so sweet and welcoming, we couldn’t help but feel like a part of the family. So glad this place exists and we can’t wait to come back. Everyone come eat here!!!“

“Dont let the name mislead you. They do serve diner food but it is, imo, the best diner food I have ever had. I prepare my own meals. I dont like to go to restaurants because most dont prepare food I am satisfied with, taste or freshnessof ingredients. This place sets the bar higher for the other local restaurants. The food is very good, and Ive tried almost everything. The prices are reasonable. This is my favorite place to eat beside my own cooking. The owners, the staff all very nice people. Makes me feel like Im visiting family not a diner“

“I found this place via Googling where to eat near Hunter NY. I got the truffle grilled cheese, tomato soup and a side of mac & cheese. It was SOOO good!! The atmosphere was super cozy. Friendly staff. If it was closer I would def be here a few times a month. The ONLY thing I would say is, it was hard to find as there is no sign. It’s a beautiful old brick (what used to be a bank) building w 2 white pillars.“

“Excellent food and drinks. Great service by Michelle. Highly recommend.“

“The Yellow Deli in Oak Hill, New York, is more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Nestled in a beautifully restored two-story building in the heart of the hamlet, this hidden gem transports you to another world. As you step inside, it’s as if you’ve wandered into an enchanted treehouse in the middle of the forest. From the moment you walk across the gleaming hardwood floors and settle into the carved wooden booths—each one handcrafted with curvilinear precision—you are enveloped in warmth, charm, and intentional craftsmanship.

The ambiance is both rustic and whimsical. Farm baskets have been ingeniously converted into hanging light fixtures, casting a soft, golden glow over each table. The interior design reflects a deep reverence for nature, simplicity, and community. The aroma of freshly baked bread and sweets fills the air, and if you’re lucky, you might find yourself enjoying your meal to the sounds of a live six-piece band tucked in the corner, elevating the entire experience to something utterly magical.

Let’s talk about the food—crafted with care, creativity, and an unmistakable farm-to-table ethos. I started with their soup du jour, a velvety carrot ginger soup that struck a perfect balance between sweet and savory. It was delicately creamy, with just the right touch of ginger and a sprinkle of toasted slivered almonds for texture. The chili followed, bold and rich, with a slow-building spice that was warm and comforting.

Their toasted sourdough bread was a masterpiece in itself—crisp, buttered crust on the outside, light and tender within. Every bite crackled slightly before melting in your mouth.

The roast beef sandwich was tender, flavorful, and perfectly proportioned, with just the right meat-to-cheese ratio, all served on a warm, freshly baked roll. I also tried the combo roast beef and corned beef sandwich, which delivered a delightful kick of spice and robust flavor, making it an unforgettable choice.

To cleanse the palate and refresh, I opted for the Catskill Mountain Mint Iced Herbal Tea, which was phenomenal. Lightly sweetened, fresh, and cooling—an ideal accompaniment to a hearty meal on a summer day.

Naturally, I had to end on a sweet note, and the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting did not disappoint. Moist, spiced just right, and generously frosted—it was divine.

Inside the Yellow Deli, you’ll also find a charming mini country market, where they offer an impressive assortment of handmade soaps, botanical lotions, herbal teas, granolas, local honey, pure maple syrup, and house-baked goods. It’s a lovely place to pick up a thoughtful gift or something special to take home.

Whether you’re passing through or making this a destination, The Yellow Deli is a treasure along the Catskill Creek—a place where time slows down, and every detail invites you to savor, reflect, and return.

“Food that feeds the soul, beauty that speaks volumes, and travel that tells a story always through the eyes of Italy Loves India.”

“Holy Crap I was not expecting a meal so amazing at this quaint, unassuming cafe!
The avocado toast had so many unexpected little touches that rivaled anything I'd find in NYC.

No syrup required, seriously, don't ruin it.

Be sure to meet Maggie herself. She's a delight.“
