The Bakery
13a N Front St, New Paltz, NY
Crema's Take
“The Bakery earns its reputation on genuinely excellent sandwiches and pastries that justify the Sunday morning wait, backed by what locals consistently call the best coffee in New Paltz. The vibe is decidedly low-key and civilized—this is a place where staff like Bella remember you and the pace feels intentionally unhurried, making it ideal for lingering over breakfast or meeting friends. Just know that consistency can be hit-or-miss, so your experience depends partly on timing and who's behind the counter.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

This was a longtime favorite of mine, but after this visit I won’t be returning. The staff was unfriendly and argumentative from the moment I ordered. I clearly asked for toasted bagels, yet I was given untoasted bagels. When I pointed this out, the employee insisted I never…
Very cute bakery in New Paltz. Line was a bit long and we waited 30 mins but it was a Sunday morning & fresh food isn’t quick. My sandwich was a bit cold but after letting them a new fresh extra toasty sandwich was brought to me quickly a long with some complimentary cookies.…
