Reviews
We stumbled on Karen’s Café on a weekend trip upstate from NYC, where we live. We were blown away by the delicious food. BEST BREAKFAST BURRITO EVER!!! The ingredients were fresh, flavorful, and made to perfection. The blueberry pancakes were divine. Karen made our food and gave us complimentary drinks. It has a homey small town family feel. We will definitely be back.
The best pancakes I’ve ever had! Karen’s is amazing and I’ll be back when I’m in greenwood again.
I was here yesterday with my 2 buddies for a quick lunch. It was a random stop and had some seriously amazing food. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and it could rival anything in Philly (beats out Gino's and pats - true Philly people know McNally's tavern and johns roast pork is where it's at). This was amazing and done right, thinly sliced rib eye soaked in American cheese and onions.
I also ordered a cookie butter brownie.... It is seriously one of the best things I ever had. I may take a drive back up just to get another! If you are in greenwood lake this spot is a winner!
Lovely local spot for great breakfast sandwiches ! Got two jersey boys and the hash browns really hit the spot. Seems family run and everyone there was kind and welcoming. Will be coming back next time we’re around the area!
What a great stop! The food was excellent! Karen and her family are very friendly. Service was amazing. It is a must if you're in the area. We stayed in the area to be a reasonable distance from Sleepy Hollow. So glad we stopped here for lunch! Thank you Karen!
Lives up to the hype! I can’t recommend this place enough if you are staying anywhere near here it’s worth coming to for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Portions are huge, so if you eat small you can share. Tons of sauces, tons of sides, cheese options, health options, etc. I wish the photos did it justice!
Will be back!
Cozy and lovely spot, welcoming and the food was great 😊
Mango Sunchine smoothie was delicious and Godfather Sandwiches 😋 amazing
Very homey cafe perfect for brunch or coffee. Make sure to say hi to Karen, who's manning the cashier and manning the tables herself. Would recommend to my own family.
