Village Grind New Paltz

Love this place. Best coffee around. The espresso is rich and creamy. Pastries are amazing every time. Also the service is perfect. I honestly can’t find another place like it. I would recommend getting an Iced Mocha Latte with oatmilk, with a raspberry croissant or an almond croissant.

A little cafe that really knocks it out of the park: a delicious breakfast wrap, a flavorful cold brew with coffee ice cubes and insulated cup, and a fresh danish. Village Grind provided a lovely start to my day!

This place is so cute and friendly! Stopped by after a night of camping and were welcomed in like we were walking into their home. They were incredibly accommodating and offered us vegan friendly breakfast wraps that weren’t on the menu. SO GOOD. Home made tofu chorizo!! Wish I could come get every morning, highly recommend :)

Absolutely loved the place! Wound up here just cus we passed near it. Got an omelette, bagel, and two cold coffees (actually roasted with their flavor components not flavor pumps!). The dudes working there were very chill and chatty, helped us fend off a bee! Definitely a spot we’ll come back to. (photos added after eating & realizing it was dope)

By far the best coffee in town, very reasonably priced, and AMAZING staff ! I love this place

Super friendly staff, great cold brew! Love the location as well. Easy to find parking.

Not only is the owner, Craig, and his entire staff lovely people, the coffee is fresh, the baked goods delicious (try their vegan breakfast cookie, a perfect morning treat--not overly sweet and usually warm out of the oven), and best of all, a bonafide local-owned business. A really nice place to have in the area, especially for those of us who take the bus often (Trailways New Paltz bus station is at this location). I highly recommend. (Also thanks to Craig for being a good person who hires good people!)

Happened upon Village Grind on a quick pit stop while on a road trip and I wasn’t disappointed. Only got a latte but the service was A1 and deserves 5 stars. Will be adding it to my list of places to go for great coffee and potentially some delicious snacks as well.

Scones was really good. It tasted like homemade scone your grandma made. I should've taken a picture but sorry, it's gone.

Coffee was superb. Definitely better than the most cafes.
Parking available with a couple of tables

Starbucks is right down the road but you owe it to yourself to pass them by and check out this great little local shop. The owner and staff are very nice people and the coffee and baked goods are terrific. Of course if you like putting more money in the pockets of greedy mega businesses, go to Starbucks. If you just want a great cup of coffee and delicious baked goods in a quaint little local owned shop, check out the Village Grind. You won't regret it.

Happy, quiet place right next to the Trailways office/station. $9.18 for a large hot mocha latte and chocolate hazelnut croissant. This is a small local business, with one person running it, so there was a bit of a wait to order, but use that time to look at the art offered for sale. It's so much more personable and homey than Starbucks or Dunkin'.

One of the best coffee shops I’ve ever been too. Good coffee, even has coffee ice cubes so your drink doesn’t get watery.

Our favorite coffee house in New Paltz closed down a while back and thank the Lord we've found The Village Grind! First time there we tried their iced lattes and dirty chai and they were fantastic. Next visit we also tried their breakfast sandwiches and they were just super delicious. Will be returning every time we come back to town.

Ambiance is great for being an adjoining part of a old, but still operating bus station. A table or two inside and the same outside, so mostly just a take-out place, but give it a try. It's well worth it.

-update 2022/04/16: renovated since our last visit, simpler menu. Somewhat disappointed in that, but still delicious food and drink.

Consistently the best breakfast burrito in New Paltz. The coffee is fresh and brewed perfectly. Highly recommended. The cafe is always clean and looks spotless. The owners obviously has professional food experience and knows how to run a quality cafe. Their iced coffee is amazing --- they even use ice cubes of brewed coffee instead of water so your coffee doesn't get watered down. This easily could become your daily spot to grab a quick bite and coffee. You can get a large coffee and a breakfast burrito for less than $10 --- a great value for the quality of the food and service. Support a locally owned business and give them a try!

Great Oat Lattes, Drip, Pastries and Bagels.
Staff are respectful even delightful.
Great spot to sip a coffee, remote work while waiting for taxi, bus, or friend.

Truly a fantastic little coffee shop. My friend and I stopped in while we were visiting and they whipped up the most delicious breakfast wrap I can remember ever eating. Staff was really friendly and fun. Seems like they have a crowd of good humored regulars. Would come here all the time if I lived in the area.

Best cup of dark roast black coffee I’ve had in a long time. Great almond croissant. And fantastic service.

Saw this place was close by and I decided to take a look. Came in to cool off a bit and got an ice mocha and a strawberry creamcheese croissant. Before I ordered staff cracked jokes and was super friendly. Helped break the tension I usually get when ordering at a place I've never been to before. Sat down for a good half hour enjoying my break. Probably the best iced mocha I've had in the New Paltz area, same with the pastry. Definitely am looking forward to coming to this place the next time I'm in the area. :)

My wife and I spent a few days in New Paltz earlier this month and after finding our way to the Village Grind for breakfast the first morning, we didn't see a need to look further the next couple of days. The owners are friendly, the coffee is hot and the food is great. They bake their pastries in-house and I can speak to the croissants--they're fantastic.

It was such a cute cafe.. love it.
