Broadway Lights Diner & Cafe
713 Broadway, Kingston, NY
Crema's Take
“This family-owned diner serves genuinely exceptional pancakes that locals have been raving about for decades, paired with the kind of old-school service where staff remember regulars and actually care about your comfort. The vintage aesthetic, reasonable prices, and genuinely friendly atmosphere make it the rare chain-free breakfast destination that feels like a genuine community hub rather than a tourist trap. Go early to avoid the occasional service hiccup during busy times, but the quality of the food and the warmth of the place make it worth planning around.”
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. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.

Best pancakes i ever tasted and the workers are extremely nice. And the food are perfectly cooked and ready in no time. I will hundred percent recommend this.
