The Hungry Goat Cafe

Nestled at the corner of NY 97 and NY 55 in historic Barryville, The Hungry Goat Cafe and Creamery welcomes locals and travelers with a bright, farmhouse‑style dining room that opens at 5:30 am and stays lively until 5 pm. Breakfast fans can start the day with the signature Goat Cheese Croissant, fluffy pancakes drizzled with maple‑brown sugar syrup, and a steaming cup of locally roasted coffee. For lunch, the menu features the Big Goat Burger topped with caramelized onions and a side of sweet‑potato fries, as well as the Turkey‑Apple Club sandwich on rosemary‑infused sourdough. Their standout offering is homemade goat‑milk ice cream, rotating flavors such as Lavender Honey, Dark Chocolate Chunk, and seasonal Strawberry Basil, served in waffle cones or generous scoops. The cafe also crafts custom cakes for birthdays, wedding celebrations, and corporate events, and offers party platters loaded with deli meats, artisanal cheeses, and fresh fruit. The interior blends reclaimed wood tables, vintage farm tools, and soft amber lighting, creating a relaxed atmosphere perfect for families, solo travelers, or remote workers seeking free Wi‑Fi. Open seven days a week, the cafe provides catering for private parties and hot or cold deliveries throughout the Hudson Valley. Prices range from $5 for a coffee to $15 for a full sandwich, making it an affordable yet high‑quality stop on any road‑trip itinerary.
