Bread Alone is a Hudson Valley institution – a wood-fired bakery and café committed to organic ingredients, traditional methods, and environmental responsibility since 1983. With cafés in Rhinebeck, Boiceville, and Woodstock, Bread Alone has been shaping the region’s food culture for more than four decades.
Situated along Route 9 just outside the village center, the Rhinebeck café offers a convenient, welcoming stop for breakfast or lunch. The design balances clean lines with warm wood accents, and the display cases are stacked with fresh bread and pastries throughout the day. It draws a mix of families, commuters, and weekend travelers—easygoing, reliable, and community-oriented.
Since its early days selling bread at farmers markets, Bread Alone has grown into a regional benchmark for organic baking. Its reputation rests on simple ingredients, wood-fired ovens, and long fermentation processes that prioritize flavor and digestibility over speed.
With production facilities in Kingston and Boiceville, the company continues to invest in renewable energy and carbon-conscious operations, including its net-zero Boiceville bakery. Even as it scales, the fundamentals remain the same: thoughtful sourcing, traditional methods, and bread made with patience.

C. CASSIS
Among the scenic stretches of Rhinebeck, New York, you'll find C. Cassis, a unique tasting room housed in a repurposed red barn on Salisbury Turnpike. Open since October 2023, this spot invites guests to explore the distinct world of blackcurrant aperitifs, a passion project brought to life by founder Rachael Petach. Her love for blackcurrants began during her farming days in France, and has culminated in a distinctive product lineup that centers around this often-overlooked berry. Adventure-seeking drink enthusiasts will discover a space where the old charm of a dairy barn blends with the fresh, creative vibe of a modern tasting experience.
One of the things that makes C. Cassis stand out is its dedication to demystifying the blackcurrant berry, which was once banned from cultivation in New York. The tasting room offers visitors an insider view of how these berries transform into a vermouth-like aperitif. Guests are guided through a sensory journey with tasting flights that include the signature lightly fermented C. Cassis beverage. In addition to sampling these drinks in their pure form, the creative cocktail menu, curated by mixologist Natasha David, features unique concoctions like the CC Tini, with its bright notes of chamomile and verjus, and the playful Man in Hat.
The culinary offerings do not disappoint, either. Katy Moore, a notable chef known for her work in Brooklyn, crafts a menu that highlights local and fresh ingredients. Dishes such as the Current Camembert made from local creamery cheese, and sandwiches featuring smoked steelhead trout, present flavors that harmonize beautifully with the beverages.
Vibe: Contemporary rustic with historic charm and creative design elements
What to try: Signature tasting set with C. Cassis aperitif and the Man in Hat cocktail

Hours note: Open Saturday and Sunday from 11-6

Soho Farmhouse
Soho House is bringing its members-only model to the Hudson Valley with an upcoming clubhouse in Rhinebeck – Soho Farmhouse New York – marking its first location in the region. Known for transforming distinctive properties into design-forward social hubs for creative professionals, the brand’s Rhinebeck outpost is set within a historic estate that blends pastoral calm with the understated polish members expect. The project reflects Soho House’s ongoing expansion beyond major urban centers, leaning into destinations that offer space, landscape, and a slower pace without sacrificing cultural relevance.
The Rhinebeck clubhouse is expected to follow the brand’s familiar formula: thoughtfully restored architecture, layered interiors, and a mix of amenities that balance work and leisure. Plans point to guest rooms, dining spaces centered on seasonal, locally sourced menus, and outdoor areas designed to take advantage of the Hudson Valley’s rolling terrain. As with other country houses in the Soho House portfolio, the emphasis will likely be on a residential feel—less hotel, more private retreat—where members can book a stay, host gatherings, or settle in for a long weekend upstate.
For Rhinebeck and the surrounding area, the arrival signals another step in the region’s evolution as a cultural and lifestyle destination. Long a draw for second-home owners, artists, and weekenders from New York City, the town now adds a globally recognized private club to its mix of historic inns, independent shops, and farm-driven restaurants. If executed with the sensitivity to place that the brand often aims for, Soho House Rhinebeck could become both a discreet hideaway for members and a meaningful addition to the Hudson Valley’s growing hospitality landscape.
