Fellow Mountain Cafe
Where rustic charm and modern comfort meets at the foot of the Catskill Mountains.
About Fellow Mountain Cafe
In the heart of Hunter, NY, Fellow Mountain Cafe offers a distinctive dining experience with a focus on locally sourced breakfast and lunch favorites. Located at the bustling Main Street, this cafe has quickly become a beloved spot for both locals and visitors exploring the Catskills region. The cafe takes pride in its unique location, housed in a historic Queen Anne-style building that once served as an Odd Fellows hall. Inside, visitors are greeted by modern decor blended seamlessly with classic Catskills charm, featuring large windows, marble countertops, and even a vintage Acorn stove.
What sets Fellow Mountain Cafe apart is its dedication to fresh, local ingredients and a menu crafted by chef Rachel Lauginiger, who brings her expansive culinary background to the fore. From hearty egg sandwiches on rich cheddar biscuits to the variety of baked goods, including the must-try cinnamon rolls that sell out by mid-morning, the cafe remains committed to showcasing the best of local produce. Chef Rachel’s creations are inspired by the micro seasons of the Catskills, ensuring the menu reflects the freshest options available.
Visitors will also find a curated selection of grocery items that aren't readily available elsewhere in the mountain region. This includes artisanal cheeses, cured meats, and a range of craft beers and ciders. A small but appreciated touch is the availability of fresh-cut flowers, a weekend treat stemming from the skilled hands of the cafe's own gardener. Add to this the cafe’s scenic outdoor seating on a wraparound deck, offering stunning views that complement your meal.
Owned and operated by Escape Hospitality, which also manages Scribner’s Catskill Lodge nearby, Fellow Mountain Cafe extends its hospitality beyond dining. It’s a perfect pit-stop for urban explorers and mountain enthusiasts alike looking to start their day with a solid breakfast before hitting the trails or taking advantage of the nearby Hunter Mountain Resort.
