Reviews for A New Leaf in Lake Placid, NY
I always wondered about this coffee shop as I have often passed by it. Today, three of us stopped in and I am sorry to say we... were disappointed. To start, the barista was not friendly or welcoming. My friend wanted a chai latte and I decided to try onemyself for the first time, as I already had a double espresso in the morning. Sad to say, the chai lattes were sickening sweet. I thought it was the customer who decided on the sugar. We were never asked our preference. In any case, my friend did notdrink his and placed it in the trash and I forced my down. It was regrettable. The only person who enjoyed a drink got a fruitjuice in a bottle. I will not return, as there are better options elsewhere. Read more
Delightful and cozy little café. Owner is conscientious about the environment and public safety. Coffee and croissant sandwich... were delicious! Read more
We selected this place to sit down and stay for a little while, drinking coffee and maybe getting a little work done, but the... coffee tasted burnt and we ended up barely drinking it. Also, the Internet was so slow we couldn?t open any web pages or do themost basic tasks (like check email). The place itself is kinda cute and the owner was friendly and willing to allow us to useour reusable coffee mugs which was appreciated. Read more
Such a nice quaint little coffee shop. Owner is overly nice and the croissant sandwiches are absolutely amazing!
I visited Lake Placid last week with my sister. We selected this place for breakfast as it had some good reviews. However, the... prices are extremely high. I had a custom sandwich which was just one slice of sourdough bread and one egg for $7.95. My sisterhad the croissant sandwich which was nothing to rave about. We shared one large pumpkin latte which was okay, but we found itquite expensive for 7.95. The pumpkin latte at Starbucks is so good and costs less. Our total bill was almost 25$!Exorbitant! The next day we decided to have breakfast at our hotel, the Crowne Plaza. We had double the quantity of eggs andtoasted bread and coffee and were surprised when we got our bill which was only 10.80! for two people. I would not go back tothis place if visiting Lake Placid again. Read more
I was looking forward to trying this coffee shop during our stay in Lake Placid and it did not disappoint. Places like this are... what I love about traveling. I appreciate that it's not trying to be a trendy coffee shop. But it is filled with charm none theless. I got a delicious pumpkin latte and the service was friendly. The man making our coffee had a warmth to him and we wishedwe could stay longer. Would highly recommend. ???????? Read more
I wasn't impressed with the little cafe or the food. My wife and I stopped by early on a Wednesday for a coffee and a quick... bite. The man behind the counter was courteous, but not overly helpful or friendly. I ordered a coffee and a Danish lookingitem, not sure what it would be called exactly. My wife had a hot chocolate and a muffin. Both items were cold and hard, and wehad to ask for them to be warmed. I didn't eat the Danish, after the first bite. It wasn't acceptable. The decor looks as thoughsomeone's not sure what kind of business they want to run, as the mixture of items makes you wonder what the purpose of thebusiness is. Overall it was a disappointing visit.

We came here for breakfast on our first day in Lake Placid. It was next door to our hotel and I read online that they allow... dogs. Not everywhere is keen on allowing our 85 pound dog inside so we were thankful that we found somewhere so close. Weordered two of the breakfast croissants which were absolutely delicious, a pumpkin latte and a maple latte. There was only oneman running the show but service was still quick and he was friendly. I would recommend this place for a quick bite or hot cupof coffee. I loved the decor inside, it?s quaint and cozy. Read more
