Willa's

This is my fifth time ordering lunch from Willa’s, and it was super fantastic and delicious! I had the beet bowl and falafel wrap. This is my favorite place!

Delicious breakfast, coffee, and baked goods. Hoping to try out their lunch menu also! It’s a really cute community space that seems welcoming of both townies and visitors.

Good food and a nice atmosphere. Staff are friendly and free refill coffee. Love there pancakes ❤️

Walked in early on a Saturday afternoon; lots of space, feels busy but not crowded - maybe 12-15 customers eating. Great vibe, but a very strange encounter at the counter left me scratching my head. I figured I’d make a note of it, because it provides a pretty clear glimpse at how they/some of their staff actually seem to think about their customers.

The guy behind the counter seemed really friendly, but he was quite passive aggressive…

He greeted me with “hi, do you need a minute?” Since I’d only been inside for maybe 8-10 seconds, I said yes.

Next thing he said was “ok but I need to let you know that the kitchen is busy, there’s a 30 min wait for food.” I said ok, and ordered 2 muffins from the display case. (Editor’s note: they were amazing. The vegan currant muffin alone is worth a trip to Catskill.)

I inquired about the handmade poppyseed bagels, of which only 2 were left - which is usually a good sign. He said “they’re really good.” I asked if they had any spread for them, and he said “cream cheese or butter” and then a moment later “but they would need to go through the kitchen.” So 30 mins for a bagel, I said. “More like 40”, he replied. I asked if they had a self serve option, with cream cheese on the side. He said “no, it has to go through the kitchen. Most people are happy to wait.” I’ve had some life changing bagels, I said. But none of them were worth 40 mins. “People disagree, they have the time; they sit down and have a conversation, and they wait.” I was alone and people were waiting for me outside, so I took my muffins and left.

That was it, that simple exchange. Nothing more, nothing less. No overt rudeness. Neither of us were unkind or raised our voice. But there was also no offer to go grab a dollop of cream cheese, no suggestion to take the bagel as is and unadorned. Nothing else… and while he maintained a smile throughout, the undertone of his communication was pretty hostile.

The spot is really cool and the muffins were so good. But to be honest, the most delicious food in the world can still leave a bitter taste in your mouth if the service makes you feel like you don’t matter.

Charged $2 extra to heat up milk in my tea… saved $2 and got cold milk. No problem, but have never had to pay extra for steamed milk elsewhere.

Crumb cake and corn muffin baked fresh from Willas. The cappuccino was also amazing. Staff was so friendly and accommodating during a busy rush. Will definitely be going again.

What a cute spot! I got the breakfast burrito and a coffee - the coffee was so good. I also got the sweet potato tart for take away, it was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Definitely stop here if you’re in town. Oh, and it’s dog friendly!

Willa’s is the best place for a delicious breakfast, in a cute location, and friendly staff.
Their egg sandwich was just right and the espresso was the best I had in the area.

Good little breakfast spot with some great bakery items. Would recommend the breakfast burrito and potatoes, both were great and filling. Had their cronut with Boston cream filling and loved it. Service was relatively quick, about 20-30 minutes on a busy Saturday to get our food.

Excellent food and coffee in a pleasant clean sunny dining room.
Service is a little bit slow as typical for a hipster place.
