Apple Pie Bakery Cafe - HYDE PARK

The cia has been on my Bucket list for years, what a wonderful campus! we stopped at 12:30 a.m. and took several baked and drinks (more flavored ice cream are available, and also bottled drinks) because we did not feel hungry enough for an salad or sandwich. the pupils got a definitiw a from us for beautiful, tasteful pastries that could have been in a high-end restaurant. I felt the prices were fair (a large fresh baguette for, I think, $3.50) from a well guarded counter, where our choices were boxed and bagged, then we chose a table in the neighboring esbereich. it was a bit loud, but it was clear that everyone enjoyed his café stop.

I only had time to visit this restaurant on CIA's campus, but the sensational food here makes me want to return to sample other restaurants. Simply put...it was a fantastic meal. Due to COVID restrictions, the restaurant was offering a limited menu. One of the student workers noticed that we were having difficulty making a entrée choice and quickly gave us the lowdown on what was best on the menu, including the chicken pot pie and the mac and cheese. Both of those were delicious! I'm not a fan of chicken pot pie, but this was extraordinary. The crust was light and flaky and the pie's contents were cooked to perfection. The mac and cheese was excellent as well. After tasting those two entrees, I was a little sad that I didn't choose either of those and opted for the turkey sandwich. The sandwich was very good but due to the restrictions, it had become a little too cold in the refrigerator which made the bread a little chewy. I don't place any blame on the students or the restaurant however. It was a terrific experience and I enjoyed a pleasant lunch which is a little harder for me to accomplish nowadays. Almost forgot do yourself a favor and save room for the tasty baked goods the students have prepared you won't be disappointed. Will definitely return.

Came here for a breakfast treat and found it! Try the brioche pecan caramel roll- amazing! Just try not to think about the calories.....

Have been there a couple of times. Menu changes. Food is good. The bakery is so good.

While visiting my daughter, I had a day to myself and was driving from the Loeb at Vassar to Hyde Park. Since I had been to the CIA several times in the past, I knew I could make a quick stop to get a delicious lunch. It did not disappoint. There was a line but it moved quickly. I ordered soup (and bread to go) and sat in the seating area. Due to COVID there was no table service which did not bother me at all.
