Mudd Puddle
10 Main St. New Paltz, NY 845-255-3436
This cozy, community-oriented coffeehouse serves breakfast and lunch, plus the requisite caffeinated drinks. Patrons can relax in comfy chairs or at outdoor tables on the front and back porch. Or if they’re looking to write the great American novel, they can plug in their laptops at the bar.
Fall drink options include apple cider and cinnamon hot chocolate. Specialty drinks include the Mudd Puddle (mocha with caramel and vanilla) and the Funky Gunk (mocha with almond and hazelnut), named for the Shawnagunk Mountains, which can be seen from the coffeehouse’s back porch.
The venue offers a variety of events, including poetry readings on the third Saturday of the month and live music every weekend. -Kirthana Ramisetti
