Food was good (although a bit underseasoned) - the pastry selection was impeccable. The few things that brought this review down a star were that they didn’t pay attention to special notes (we ordered a breakfast sandwich on a croissant and they didn’t honor that, even though they charged extra for it) and when we brought it to the attention of the server who brought out our food, she seemed not particularly willing to help with that, even after we clarified that we were charged extra for it. Would recommend the Forester and the Jelly Donut, as well as the coffees, which were all delicious. Skip the hash brown, it was more similar to a fried mashed potato. Would also recommend making sure the door for the wheelchair-accessible entrance is open from the outside during business hours. A group had to bang on the door loudly in order to get in.

We left the house in a hurry this morning so we decided to go to Barlett House to grab a quick pastry. The staff were really kind but also seemed quite distracted. After ordering, the gentleman who prepares the drinks went to bring another couple their order and he stood there chatting with them for a while, leaving us waiting. It was weird and the other staff were obviously frustrated by it.The fresh pastries all looked amazingly delicious -- it was genuinely difficult to choose just one. I got a Cinnamon Twist Donut (I actually hate donuts so this was a big move) with a Chai Latte and my husband got the Ham & Swiss Croissant.The Donut was full of layers more like a cronut -- I was pleasantly surprised by this. It was packed full of flavor. My husband's pastry was cold -- would have been better if offered to have been warmed but he said it was still good. The Chai latte was not made similarly to what I'm used to, it was an adjustment.The building and the restaurant ordering area are very charming -- a French bakery style. I absolutely loved it and we will be back with our daughter who dreams to go to Paris. 🙂

One of my favorite bakeries. It’s a little bit far from nyc but I can go sometimes. Because there are good places to go near the bakery. I liked all the breads and sandwiches with coffees we ordered. The texture and flavors are always good. The staff are friendly and the store is always clean even the restroom. I love all the details. p.s. there is a elevator for wheelchair.Only one thing I don’t like : putting all the bread in thin paper bag even though for eating there. I don’t like mix all together or cream on the other bread.

My mom and I stumbled upon this charming eatery on our way home from an overnight in Hudson, NY. We were there on a Sunday around lunchtime. There was a line, but it went quickly, and it gave you time to make your food choices. Everyone there was chatting away happily, and I felt sorry I did not live nearby to enjoy it more often. Food and drink delicious, staff super friendly and helpful, bathroom clean, you can eat in or out. Thumbs up big time for Bartlett House!Parking: Plenty of parking, including handicap.

This is a must go spot if you are ever in the neighbourhood. Great coffee, bakery and breakfast. They have indoor and outdoor seating and is usually packed during rush hours. The interior has a vintage vibe to it. Their bakery items are all amazing, Pistachio Croissant is a must try

Cool little spot/find in the middle of absolutely no where. Bakery, breakfast and brunch. I think the 5 stars it definitely warranted given what’s in the area. The food is very good, not amazing. The bakery items looked really good. I just don’t think you will much anything of this quality nearby.I enjoyed the pea hummus and the hash brown was really unique. The roasted veggie quesadilla was good, but it can be improved upon.Really like the drinks, it’s a little expensive. $30 pp for lunch

Yummy!!! Breakfast sandwiches were perfect for after bike ride - we tried 3 different kinds and all were delish . Fresh squeezed orange juice was great and the espresso milkshake was awesome!!! Definitely would go back again!!! Also various seating options outside and inside so good for any weather!

What a gem in a small town! French bakery at its best. Pistachio croissant seems like the signature pastry, the ham and cheese ones won the hearts of my kids. Very busy Café with seating area on the second floor with a full baking operation on the first floor. Coffee was good not great. Nice ambience overall. We went back two days in a row.

This place was fantastic. Staff was friendly. Everything was clean. I had a blackberry, beet and cheese Danish, which was perfect. It was so fresh and the perfect amount of sweet and crispy. I also had a flat white coffe, which was perfectly made. I had to wait for it for a little longer than usual as there was a line ahead of me but totally worth the wait. They had a wide variety of pastries and other breakfast menu items. Would 100% go back!

Nice building.Nice setting.Nice food.Went there for breakfast and had a good selection of pastries and breads. Not a donut fan here but I would have tried one since they looked amazing.Had their bostock and the mini scone, both very well done. The craffin with cream was unpair, might be a bit too sweet but tasted really good.I'll be definitely be back and try this spot for lunch. They have a nice outdoor space too and plenty of parking.Please add bread, butter and jam to your menu!

Had the privilege of attending a Slow Saturday dinner at Bartlett House and couldn't recommend it enough! Amazing food and the ambiance is so warm and inviting. You could really feel the attention to detail from both the back and front of house, and there is something so special about having a community seating time for a shared dinner! Everyone there was having a great time and it was a perfect way to spend the evening.

We just moved to the area and nearly every single person who has learned of our move to Ghent has insisted that we become regulars at Bartlett House, and after this first visit, point taken. I probably could spare you all the details and just direct you to the happy face in the photo who has never tasted a danish so delicious, but I’ll give you a little rundown nonetheless. First, it took everything in my being not to order the pistachio croissant. It was my own choice to start with the basics and try the regular croissant first, and based on how delicious it was, I can say with full confidence that I’ll be back for that pistachio variation as soon as yesterday ;-) Like I said, the lovely woman’s face in the photo says it all when it comes to the cherry and cheese danish. She has very high standards for pastries and the single word that came out of her mouth after the first bite of pastry + cheese + cherry was “Perfection.” My main concern is that we’re less than 10 minutes from BH and I’m really trying to fit into my clothes this year. I will need broad community support on moderation, lest I’ll need an entirely new wardrobe. It’s going to take a village. Just get here. Fast!

Food was fine, atmosphere tricks you into thinking that this place is better than it truly is, but what was most surprising to me was the service. Staff with an attitude worse than the busiest diner from New York City, made a lot of misses on the order but then instead of fixing it, try to convince that it’s you and not them.. one of the guys taking an order made me repeat my order three time, guess not enough diversity in their customers for him to track a slight accent!! Ghent is such a pretty neat little area, shame that chose this place over others for my breakfast stop

The Bartlett House is a hidden gem in the Hudson Valley/Albany Plains area! Beautiful train house transformed into a bakery/coffee shop. This is a must stop. Baguettes, baked goods, milkshakes, everything is delicious. It is a little expensive but it's worth it for the quality food and friendly service. Not too far off the Taconic so it's a great stop.

Delicious bakery! The plum galette and croissants were the stars of the show, but every baked good is made in small batches and with precision. Though we didn't try it, the weekend brunch options looked yummy as well!

The food here is fantastic. I got the beet salad for lunch and it was absolutely refreshing! I recommend ordering online because the wait can be very long, but it's definitely worth it.I got half a dozen pastries and two coffees here one morning as well and everything was great! I was in a bit of a rush and they were super quick with making the drinks and they were superb. I got the blueberry rose latte and my husband got the mocha - they're small drinks but every sip is delicious. The pastries are completely out of this world. Do not skip them!

By far one of the best bakeries in all of New York. I have been living off of baked goods from here for the past few years, and enjoy all Bartlett House foods - from the exquisite and delicious sourdough to the the crunchy and classic croissants. The place has a lovely and unique vibe, with a grand set of stairs going up to the bakery, and the tables looking out on the flowers planted outside. A wall of bowls and jams stands at the back of the restaurant, providing decorative elements as you enjoy some of the most memorable and amazing dinner plates you will ever eat. The jams from Bartlett house are an aesthetic of their own, and so textured and exquisite that their taste is hard to forget (I myself recommend the four reds jam on crepes). All in all, would definitely recommend a trip to the Bartlett house.

This is a clean, lovely place with food that is not what it once was. I used to love to have breakfast here. I believe Covid is responsible for the service problem although all staff I have come in contact with were very nice. A positive thing to say is that everything I have had here over the years (since they opened) is always fresh.My complaint is about the two pullman loaves they offer. The Sourdough multigrain and Pain de mie. Only once did I purchase a loaf of pain de mie that was not baked properly and I would describe as too soft similar to "wonderbread." My real problem is with the sourdough multigrain. Prices have gone up. I understand that, but after spending $9.50 a loaf, I believe the quality should be excellent. Part of the problem may be bagging the bread (in plastic), and perhaps slicing while it is still warm. The other problem is with the baking. A pullman loaf should not have holes and the crumb should be consistant thoughout. Is the dough too wet? Is it not spread evenly in the pan? The slices are almost impossible to separate (I actually used a knife to cut them apart today). I have complained about this to no avail. I honestly believe this problem with the baking and packaging can be fixed. Please!

Very nice place! Picnic tables to sit outside. They also have a bowl so your dog can have some water to drink!

Great food. Star was the burger. Pistachio croissant was amazing too. Really slow service. Waited 40 mins for food. Had to prompt wait staff for utensils.
