Phoenicia Diner
5681 NY-28, Woodstock, NY
Crema's Take
“Phoenicia Diner is a beloved Catskill institution that trades specialty coffee refinement for unpretentious, generous comfort food—think perfectly executed pancakes, chorizo sandwiches, and mac and cheese that justify the inevitable 20-30 minute wait. The crowd here skews families and hikers fueling up before or after the trails, not coffee aficionados, so arrive right at opening if you want to avoid the chaos. If you're seeking a quiet specialty espresso experience, look elsewhere; if you want a chaotic, charming diner meal with solid coffee as a supporting player, this place absolutely delivers.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.

Good not great breakfast. The two sandwiches I tried (fried chicken and Trout) were not good. I very rarely do not finish my food and I couldn’t finish half my sandwich. Mac and cheese was delicious. The sodas were coke products but did not taste like it. Overall 3/5. Friendly…

Stopped here after a hike. Good food. Ordered the chorizo sandwich-while the combo of the cheese, egg and chorizo was delicious, the brioche bread was a little too thick and not my favorite. Also ordered the meatloaf which was good but an excessive amount of “tomato glaze” which…
It’s a Catskill relic, so it was only right that we went! What a cute little diner!!! We got there right when it opened because its first come, first serve. That was a power move on our part. It started to get packed quickly! The food was good! I got the biscuits and gravy.…
