About Café Mutsi
Café Mutsi is an all-day café and wine bar in the heart of Andes, New York, inspired by the local bounty of the Catskills and infused with a touch of Nordic warmth. The name “Mutsi,” Finnish slang for “mother,” embodies the spirit of the café—nurturing, welcoming, and filled with character. Opened in the spring of 2024, Café Mutsi quickly became a community favorite, offering a space where locals and visitors alike can gather to enjoy freshly baked breads and pastries, seasonal dishes, and thoughtfully curated natural wines.
Rooted in family tradition and regional collaboration, Café Mutsi’s menu is ever-evolving, reflecting the rhythm of the seasons and the abundance of its neighboring farms. Many recipes draw from co-founders Nicole and Raoul’s family heritage—like breads adapted from Nicole’s grandmother’s handwritten notes and harissa made from Raoul’s mother’s secret recipe—reimagined with Upstate ingredients. The kitchen cures its own gravlax with local gin, bakes rye bread daily, and pickles fresh produce sourced from nearby purveyors like Black Willow Pond Farm, Rock Royal Farm, and Evans and Evans.
By day, Café Mutsi hums with the scent of espresso and warm pastries; by night, it transforms into a cozy wine bar on select Fridays, offering small plates and shared dishes that pair perfectly with natural wines and local spirits. Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, a leisurely lunch, or a glass of wine on the porch as the sun sets over Andes, Café Mutsi invites you to slow down, savor, and feel at home.
