Crema's Take

“Claude's Italian Specialties trades on genuinely excellent homemade sandwiches and prepared foods—think spectacular eggplant parm and massive, carefully sourced subs—but you'll pay steep prices for the privilege, with two sandwiches and drinks easily hitting fifty dollars. The family-run spot named after the owner's grandfather pulls in hikers and train commuters looking for quality over convenience, though the friendly service and pleasant decor make it worth the splurge if you're willing to order ahead. Go for the food, not the coffee.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Feels expensive for what it is.. but it was a good place to stop by for sandwiches for the train. I’d recommend to order ahead though to make sure you don’t run late (if you’re in the hurry to catch the train).

Despite being full from a meal at Cold spring Depot, I ended up bringing home 2 sandwiches to reheat all weekend. Named for the owner’s grandfather, you can taste the legacy of good home booking here.

Stopped in after a nearby hike. Nice decor, friendly & fast service. Good sandwich overall, but very expensive, even by NY standards. 2 sandwiches & 2 sodas cost $50. Each sub was a footlong with fresh ingredients, but nothing crazy fancy. As others have mentioned, they don’t…

Spectacular sandwiches! Honestly just great. Fresh ingredients and huge. Everything you want in a good sandwich. They even accommodates my celiac friend and got hers on a platter instead of on bread. Would totally come back, and I 100% recommend the chicken capresse one.

Hands down the best eggplant parm I’ve ever had ! The fried eggplant is so crispy and crunchy on the outside but soft and delicious on the inside, the sauce is flavorful, and the bread is fresh ! I added cherry peppers for a little extra zest.
