Very good

Varied menu and everything here was delicious and nutritionally balanced, though perhaps a bit unconventional. Got the pepper tofu and lentil enchilada. A must see vegan spot

Best vegan taco I’ve ever had

We are at garden Cafe today and were very pleased with how wonderful the staff and the food were. The mushroom taco which was a special on the menu was hands down the most delicious vegan taco I have ever had. We also had the enchiladas which were also unique and delicious. Can’t wait to come back and enjoy the food again.

Pros: Tacos, Atmosphere , Service

Best vegan restaurant in the Hudson valley

We looooooooooooooooooove Garden Cafe!! By “we” I mean every person I’ve ever taken there. Their menu is extensive, creative, and the food is always on point. My favorite dishes are the vegetable lasagna and cauliflower steak special. The stuffed mushrooms are my fav go to appetizer. Fav dessert is the strawberry shortcake — it’s unreal!! And seasonal, so def try it if you’re there in the warmer months!

Pros: Delicious vegan food , Extensive, all vegan menu, Friendly, welcoming and accommodating staff

Go here!

This place is absolutely delicious! I don't think there was a single thing I tried I didn't like. Not unreasonably priced and the place itself was adorable inside and roomy. I expect a little hole in the wall cafe but it was actually quite spacious and felt like one of those kinda rustic fancy bistros. We had yhe hummus, brie, Buffalo tofu wing, Buffalo cauliflower tacos, lasagna, enchiladas, brownie a la mode, apple crisp, Gelato and cashew cheesecake. Ugh so so good! Will definitely be back!

Love this place

I could eat here every day if I didn't live a few thousand miles away! Food is interesting, extremely tasty, nutritious and totally vegan. Staff are super friendly. A touch expensive but worth it.

Pros: delicious

Amazing Meal!

Had an amazing lunch, we each got something different and everybody loved their food. We shared the tofu satay appetizer, then had the macro meal, burrito, lentil loaf special, and cauliflower steak special and all were excellent. My black coffee was a damn fine cup of coffee too - strong and flavorful. We had bread pudding for desert, which is something I'd never order, but it was awesome. Can't wait to visit Woodstock again and come back

Pros: Excellent Food, Great service, Lovely atmosphere (we sat outside)

Beautiful location, amazing food, great staff

Completely amazing. Staff members were attending even though I was dining by myself. I sat at a table in the corner by the window, and they brought over the large menu board for me to look at to order.

Got the cauliflower steak with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes and sauteed greens. The steak has garlic aioli on top. Everything was fresh, well-seasoned. For dessert, got the tiramisu, which was abundant and not too sweet, though still better to split with someone or eat in more than one sitting.

Outdoor seating in the garden looks amazing in warmer weather!

perfect comfort food

i love this place- been here twice now and have loved each item i’ve ordered. my fave is the brie and jam appetizer. it’s a must try. they even have gf bread! such good comfort food, but still feels very health conscious. and the waitstaff are so kind.

Pros: appetizers, friendly staff, cute location

Cons: busy on weekends

This place should have 3 Michelin Stars

There’s an after and a before of being in this place, this is what I think a restaurant is supposed to be, a place to try amazing flavors, feel well treated and enjoy the time you’re there.

In my humble opinion this is the jewel of the crown in the east coast vegan kitchen. Highly recommended.

Pros: Fresh ingredients, Amazing flavors , Best menu ever

Blown away

Excellent specials menu when we went for dinner. The cashew brie was fantastic (and a good portion size). I had a lentil meatloaf with mashed potatoes that was satisfying.

100% Plant based

Was super excited to find an all-vegan restaurant, especially in this region! Everything on the menu sounded great but decided on lentil loaf with mashed potatoes and gravy plus peppercorn crusted tofu with polenta and green beans. Both entrees also came with sautéed kale. Additionally got tiramisu for dessert! Overall wasn’t blown away and a little pricey in my opinion but wholeheartedly support this fully vegan establishment. Most items are also gluten-free and are clearly labeled.

Pros: All vegan

Stunning Vegan

First time here. Cute town with lots of shops. Found parking on the streets, but I can imagine that when it’s primetime season it would be difficult to find parking. This location had several seating options if you wanted to in and of course you could always pick up to dine out. It was a Wednesday afternoon and it was packed. Very friendly service. Extensive menu.one option more delicious than the other. Nice size dessert menu. Ice cream and smoothies also available.

I started with the chickpeas tomato soup, which also comes with a piece of focaccia bread. Tasting and a good size for a cup. Moved onto their Portobello Panini. Flavorful and a good serving size. Also comes with a side salad. Had their carrot cake, which was in my opinion delicious. I had a difficult time choosing things because everything looked so good especially looking around the restaurant and seeing what everyone was eating. Very much looking forward to coming back here again. The one thing that I will say that was a little bit of a negative is that in my opinion it’s a little bit on the pricey side, but that is subjective. For my pockets, it was a little on the pricey side..

Pros: Friendly, Warm and inviting , Tasty food and good serving size

Cons: A little pricey

Amazing good and service

This is not my first visit, but I'm just as impressed this time. The staff and owner are very friendly. The food is amazing. This time I ordered carrot cake with pecan praline and coconut filling, and also chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. Both were delicious.

Very Very Good

Food was exceptionally good. Menu was extensive but also they had specials.
Started with tofu satay and stuffed mushrooms. My entree was the Veggie Lasagna with no noodles. Yeah good!!
Finished with the pecan pie which I thoroughly enjoyed. To note my brother had the brownie a la mode which was massive and sinful. Be sure to order that if it’s on the specials.
Nice little restaurant along the shopping area. Don’t miss it.

Delightful lunch spot

Garden Cafe was our favorite stop on our little vacay up north. We stopped for lunch and to charge our car nearby before a hike at overlook mountain. Highly recommend checking out this cafe - it has delicious sandwiches, burgers, bowls and desserts. We also got hot chocolate (so good) and tea. Be sure to take a look at their specials! We also got the cashew brie which came with a lovely rosemary blackberry compote and fresh toasted baguette which was possibly my favorite. The carrot cake was super yummy too with praline pecans (& it’s gluten free!)

Service was excellent as well!

What can I say that hasn't already been said?

It's a Woodstock institution for a reason. Everything I've had here has been fantastic. Caesar salads are on the list of non vegan foods I miss and theirs is delicious. Ditto for the bread pudding. Everything is made with care and interest, and the staff are always wonderful. It's a great blend of the "old fashioned" vegetarian restaurant and 21st century vegan creativity.

Incredible food. Wonderful atmosphere. I can’t speak of this place highly enough

Don’t hesitate- you HAVE to go here when in Woodstock!

I got a soy milk cappuccino, the tofu garden bowl with pesto cream sauce, and the brownie with vanilla ice cream. All of it was fantastic, delicious, and affordable. Sitting out in the garden with a book and wonderful food is a wonderful way to spend a summer day.

Pros: All vegan. And the food is delicious!, Outdoor garden and location is great, Lots of tasty vegan desserts

I literally dream of this place

I first came here in 2016, and was blown away. I recently returned seven years later, and the hype I gave it was absolutely justified. It was just as amazing as I remembered. Their juices, smoothies, entrees, soups... everything is incredible. Especially the pesto pasta and lasagna. An absolute must if you're in the area, and even if you're not 😆

Unbelievable

I just happened to be passing this place on the way home from a road trip. It didn’t just hit the spot, it took the spot of my favorite vegan restaurant. No exaggeration. It was perfect in every way. The food was insanely good and had a homemade quality I don’t think I’ve ever experienced in a restaurant. The staff was super friendly and efficient. And best of all, the atmosphere was amazing. Very peaceful, relaxing, and communal in a small town way. I loved every second of being here and I’ll be returning for sure!

Pros: Lots of options, The best food I’ve ever eaten, Great atmosphere

Cons: Expensive

Excellent food, plenty of GF options

Great vegan experience. 100% plant based. Most items are gluten-free too, or can be made to be. I had the Veggie No Noodle Lasagna, which was delicious. Loved the gluten-free garlic bread. Staff are very nice

Pros: Completely vegan , Plenty of gluten-free options , Friendly, helpful staff

Cons: Expensive but worth it
