Golden Russet Cafe & Grocery - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great spot that we always make a point to visit when passing through. The owners are down to earth and the food is on point! Make sure the get extra relish & bacon on those cheeseburgers 😎

awesome little shop and cafe with a great tinned fish selection

I stumbled upon this humble country store and eatery while riving through Rhinebeck this afternoon, and what a gem of a find! I stopped for lunch and ate outside on the porch. The food is nothing special or innovative, but it is good down-home fare that gets the job done. The veggie burger was home made, as was the potato salad. The grocery section of this store was surprisingly well-stocked. Had I more time, I would have sat in a rocking chair on the porch after lunch to enjoy the afternoon!

Craig and Jenny have redefined the traditional cafe and general store. As a new generation of mom-and-pop owners, they blend modern hospitality with an exceptional dining experience.

This place is great. Try the chicken sandwich or the cheeseburger, and definitely the fries. The prepared goods are great - turkey chili amazing. Very friendly people. A little gem in the country

Great spot!💯 I ordered a BEC & opted for whole wheat toast -the bread was full of seeds & delicious! Great selection of ciders & local produce as well. Homemade chickpea & sesame ginger slaw was UNREAL! (see photos) I want to go back in the summer when it’s warmer to see what other goodies I find 😎🌟

A gem of a country store. Great food, service, atmosphere

Hidden little gem with great pantry staples, local beer, local hard cider, and really good food. Try the griddled banana bread. So good!

Sweet family run short- order greasy spoon nestled in a rural market stocked with pantry essentials and regional sundries. The coffee was tasty and hot and they let us hole up for a couple hours. So grateful to have a place to hang on a cold winters day!

Stopped by for a quick snack off the Taconic, but the spot's charm and Craig's welcoming kitchen vibe convinced us to stay for breakfast. It's like being at home with Craig flipping up breakfast and burgers while chatting with the locals at the counter. A variety of cold and hot beverages, snacks, chips, and cheeses - you won't leave hungry. It's more than just breakfast; it's a heartfelt embrace plated with care. Special shoutout to Craig for those incredible chips! A must-visit if you're passing through – until next time, old Brooklyn neighbor!

Owned by two of the best people and the food is delicious! ❤️❤️❤️

Golden Russet Cafe is a local gem. It's located in the Schultzville area, just a short drive from the Village of Rhinebeck. It's a cafe and a general store, with many basics, plus interesting provisions for locals and visitors alike. With the largest variety of New York hard ciders in the region, ask Craig, the owner, for recommendations as he is truly a cider expert. He wrote a book on the subject and you can purchase the book there, too. On today's visit, we had an egg sandwich and the fried chicken sandwich, both of which were very good (and well-priced, too). We left with a bottle of Pear Cider and a plan to return on a sunnier day so we can enjoy eating on the cozy porch or grab some food to enjoy on a picnic hike.

Great selection of essentials. Good food, perfect for lunch.

Great place to visit for breakfast sandwich and coffee

Great spot for a casual brunch. Egg n Cheese Sandwiches are delicious, and the Grilled Banana Bread is to die for.

Golden Russet Cafe is just a short drive from the Taconic Parkway (about two miles). It's a really nice country store with a lovely menu for breakfast and lunch. We stopped in for breakfast with the grandsons. The breakfast sandwiches were a good choice. They came fast and hot right off the griddle. We had some freshly made banana bread too. All quite tasty. The staff at Golden Russet are friendly and go the extra mile to make you feel welcome and appreciated.

Beautiful little country store, big selection of Cider (their specialty)

An incredibly serene place to enjoy a coffee and recharge. Lovely, people and delicious sandwiches. Worth the scenic drive from Rhinebeck!

First time in the cafe, it felt like I had been visiting for years! A great country feel with a warm reception, Golden Russet has a menagerie of ciders, and a healthy supply of NY State based foods. Eat one of the breakfast sandwiches!

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. I would 100% recommend.

Great food, great service, and the grocery selection was amazing! I appreciate the variety of ciders and other products they have.

I stopped here while I was cycling through the area. All I had was a coffee and an egg and cheese sandwich. The coffee was nice and strong and the sandwich was very good.

Super well stocked local eatery with prepared foods and delicious dining options. Stopped in for egg sandwiches for breakfast. Grab some coffee and cookies as well. Everything was delicious. Plus, there’s a nice little area for kids to play in the back near the tables, so you can just chill and enjoy your food while a little ones play with the various games and toys that they have set out for them. Will definitely be back soon. We enjoyed it and look forward to trying their burgers which look delicious.

Gr8 cafe, cozy setup. Also good locally sourced products available for sale.

I love everything about this place. The food cooked in front of you is always great, the cider selection which is their specialty is amazing and the general store selection is well thought out. I'm always happy to drive just a bit out of my way to get there.

Your experience at the Golden Russet will not disappoint. Craig and Jenny serve great food and lots of love to the local community. Pick up a copy of Craig’s book and a six-pack of cider while you’re there!

I grew up down the street and use to frequent Schultzville deli ( it’s former identity). Since then the deli has changed a few hands till it’s current name the golden russet. First impression was great still retained a lot of its old school appeal and vibes. A lot of it remains the same on the inside a few aesthetic changes that are definitely improvements. Now let’s get to the important part the food! I am a BEC fanatic i have never in all my life seen a bec served on a potato roll but I proceeded with a open mind. Firstly the potato bun is not superior to the tried and true hard roll in-terms of sandwich structure. Secondly for 5.50 I would expect two eggs to be standard. Lastly there choice of hot sauce is odd why not a standard mikes hot or even Tabasco. After seeing the selections of drinks it saddens me to see the lack of run of the mill beverages for this rural location it almost feels like I am in a strange Brooklyn cafe with all the choices of hipster beverages. Wish them the best but will sadly not return as I am not demographic this place will appeal too. RIP to Schultzville deli…

Golden Russet is the best. My wife and I buy grocery items here and get delicious burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, and sandwiches. The cider and beer selection is great. Craig and Jenny are super friendly. If you haven't been here, your missing out.

Great little place to grab some quick food or any essentials. Fantastic staff.

It was my first time visiting. Was a great atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. First time I've ever had a grilled cheese with mustard and pickles, and it was amazing.

Charming, friendly, delicious, reasonable prices. Great selection of produce, essentials and cider, which, to be fair, is also an essential. Breakfast sandwiches and the fried banana bread total winners. One of my favorite local spots for a quiet, delicious breakfast.

Amazing! A hidden gem. My boyfriend and I stopped in for a quick breakfast bite while on our travels. The food was absolutely delicious. He had the breakfast sandwich and I had the griddled banana bread. The food was fresh and flavorful! I’ve lived in the area me whole life and never stopped until today, I will definitely be stopping in more often now that I know they are there and have such great food. Also very clean and friendly!

A group of friends and I came here for breakfast and were not disappointed. They offer reasonably priced and outstanding breakfast sandwiches. We ordered some pastries and coffees as well - both of which were excellent as well. There is a nice dining area in back along with a shared table in front. Sandwiches were prepared in about 10 minutes. There is a small market portion where you can buy beer, wine, vegetables and fruits.

Excellent hospitality and food. $1,000,000,000 chocolate chip cookie. Great market selection also.

Good egg sandwiches and grilled banana bread 😋

Very nice place good friendly service 👍😎

We love GR!!! They have become our 2nd kitchen for breakfast & lunch, and even Monday Suppers! Everything is always delish! And the community they have created inside their 4 walls is truly special.

If I could give this place 10/10 I would. The food is amazing, highly recommended the breakfast sandwich with an iced coffee. The griddled banana bread is perfection. Most importantly the staff and owner are super nice and friendly. This is the type of place you want to keep coming back to

Love this place. Jenny and Craig are so chill and friendly. The burgers and breakfast sandwiches are superior. And the griddled banana bread is top godamn drawer. Like I had no idea banana bread could do that. Griddled? With flaky salt? Brilliant play guys. Absolutely brilliant.
