About Bartlett House
Bartlett House is a rejuvenated historic building operating as a bakery and cafe that cleverly marries history with a farm-to-table philosophy in the village of Ghent, NY. Originally built in 1870 as a railroad hotel, this Italianate-style brick building stands prominently on Route 66, providing both residents and visitors with a taste of old-world New York charm fused with modern culinary delights. Its mahogany interiors and oversized windows strike the perfect balance between contemporary design and its rich history, offering a picturesque view that extends beyond the cafe's offerings to the landscape of the Hudson Valley itself.
What distinctly sets Bartlett House apart is its unwavering dedication to integrating local produce into its offerings. Local agricultural partners play a key role in defining the menu, resulting in seasonal dishes that vary in harmony with the Hudson Valley’s bounty. Their menu features items like the shirred egg skillet, burrata-adorned BLT, and the well-loved Bartlett House Burger. This commitment to local sourcing not only ensures the freshness but also upholds a community-centric approach that echoes the venue's historical roots.
Head baker Craig Escalante and his team whip up a variety of freshly baked goods daily, making the bakery section alone a worthwhile visit. Expect nothing less than expertly crafted bread such as tangy country sourdough or traditional baguettes, and innovative pastries like twice-baked pistachio croissants and cherry cornmeal scones. The cafe's dedication to fostering culinary curiosity and crafting dishes with vitality is matched by their brewing expertise, featuring high-quality coffee and tea selections from Sightglass and Divinitea, respectively.
Historically significant and community-focused, Bartlett House is not just a place to eat, but a destination to experience the authentic taste of Ghent’s agricultural prowess and storied past.
