Samuel's Sweet Shop - Rhinebeck

I love Samuel's, I get my coffee fix there most mornings, the baristas are the best, and they've come to know my signature black cat coffee cup and amount of sugar I take in. I don't ever need to tell them unless it's a new hire, and they are always pleasant, and I've come to know them all.

John the manager on the phone was incredibly rude to me when I called on a Saturday afternoon to ask a question. Claimed I shouldn't be calling popular restaurants and stores on a Saturday afternoon as they are busy making money. Although the stuff looks good on the website, they will not be getting my money.

Visited for the novelty of it and didn't have very high expectations and figured it would be pricey. Welll, turns out its worth every freaking penny and the coffee was absolutely delicious!! I'm sad I'm not local enough to visit more often! The best part was probably the entire staff- they clearly were going non stop alllll day long and you'd never know it from their happy and helpful demeanor. 10/10 definitely recommend!

All the treats here are so delicious! I came to experience a moment I've only read about in The Rural Diaries, but I came back (several times) because I couldn't get enough of all the goodies they offered! Willy Wonka would be proud.

If you've got a sweet-tooth, then Samual's is the place to visit!
