WOW! Visiting New Paltz, this is my girlfriend’s favorite spot. I had THE best Salmon Benedict Hash of my entire life. Our server was super informative and pleasant. The young lady who served showed us to our table had the coolest earrings. Highly recommend this place for brunch on the weekdays and get here early on the weekends. Line is out the door

Cozy, local place with a surprisingly vast breakfast and lunch menu. All of the basics are covered as well as some surprises. From scrambled eggs and bacon to chicken and waffles and everything in between. Lunch runs the gamut from a big salad array to burritos. A specials board shows signs of regular changes. Coffee is hot and fresh, service is friendly and attentive, and the food is tasty and quick.

We always saw a line out of the door at this restaurant so we decided to try it out. I’m so glad we did because their breakfast menu is so satisfying and well-priced. I had the chicken and waffles which was so delicious and heavy which was perfect when we needed to refuel after hiking around the area. It’s perfect for before or after hikes. Although, the proportions are massive so maybe try the lighter meals if you’re going to go for a hike shortly after. The staff are incredibly kind and frequently check in. This will definitely be our go to eatery after hiking around New Paltz.

Just finished a plate of corned beef hash and two of the most perfectly poached eggs I've ever had in my life. Absolutely next level kitchen for such a low key local spot. Love it here.

From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel entirely at home. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like a regular, even though you're stepping in for the first time. The menu itself is really big and diverse. We ordered 3 different dishes, each was reasonably priced for what you got, and completely delicious. Will definitely stop by again.

Very popular but you can see why good fast friendly service and great food dishes The Salmon hash was really good. Large bustling interior caters for a crowd. You would be hard pressed to get better value. Good bottom less coffee, with a meal.

This place without fail has some of the best breakfast in town. It will be a wait for a table, it always is, But it's worth it. My personal favorite is the trailblazer. But on that note, I have not been disappointed with any meal that I have ate here. The servers are great . Been the same staff for ages too. The vibe is nice too. Definitely worth the wait. Great food.

The menu here is huge, it took us quite a while to figure out if we wanted breakfast or lunch; everything looked so good! I got the Trailblazer, which was an eggs benedict with crab cakes. It was really tasty, had a nice spicy kick to it and the eggs were nicely poached. Definitely a meal I'd come back for. My wife got the salmon hash and her friend got a burger. Both enjoyed their meals as well. Overall this place has made it to my "will come back" list, and I'm excited to try more of the menu!

We found this place randomly one Sunday so we decided to try it out. It was very busy and the servers were very short. The food was fantastic and we have been back multiple times since. I would chalk up the service experience the first time to business. The service was much better the other times we went and the food continued to be excellent. The trailblazer is my favorite dish. The crab cakes are so absolutely delicious. We will be back many times again! Do not miss out on this gem of a place.
