Main Street Farm Market Cafe

Popped in here for lunch. Lovely selection of groceries and a cafe. Service was slow even though there were three staff. Tasty lunch options.

This was a great stop along the way from Binghamton to NYC. There aren't any rest stops along this highway, just some small towns nearby. We were lucky to find this cafe in this small town. They have a great selection of farm fresh foods to purchase, as well as so many local craft beers. Wish we had more time to sample the local foods.

This is a very cool shop. Tons of local products and they make a tasty sandwich. Also good beer, wine and cider available by the glass.

I was expecting great things from a business that has enough money to pay for highway billboards and exit signs for their business. The experience fell short.

First, the ambiance -- the cafe was cluttered, and the tables way too close together. If they removed a stack of beer on top of some chairs on the left side of the room, there would be enough space to spread the tables. Only in NYC would having these tables so close to each other be acceptable, and there, it's because the cafes can't afford big spaces. Not the case here. I decided to order to go, as most of the small tables were occupied by laptop users, and I did not want to sit at a 10 person table.

I went to the counter, and looked over a copy of the menu on a clipboard to place my order. Half of the menu was being covered up by the clerk, because those items were not being carried (certain sides, soups, and drinks.) A second clipboard had a list of some high-priced coffee drinks, to replace the ones on the original menu. There were about 12 sandwiches/entrees visible on the menu. I proceeded to order one -- and was told that it was sold out, and also all the other hot sandwiches were not available, because the prep for the week hadn't been done or they had already run out, it wasn't clear. No matter -- but that reduced the amount of items to choose from by nearly half!

I ordered a sandwich called "The Manor". It was a prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, and roasted pepper sandwich, and a cup of a Carrot Ginger Soup.

I gave my name, paid, and started to browse the shop. First warning sign for any retail store: if they fail to put visible prices on the majority of the items, the prices are very high, or worse, may change depending on the mood of the clerk. The items that were priced were often astronomical. About the most reasonable one I saw was a bag of vegan marshmallows for $6 (the same size as a $1.50 bag of conventional name brand ones in a supermarket.)

After about 10 minutes, the younger of the two cooks brings me out my sandwich, in the to-go box. When I mention to him that there's also a soup, he looked confused. He then went back to the visible kitchen, found the order ticket, and after more confusion, the older chef then started to make a batch of the soup from almost scratch! The clerk was selling something that wasn't ready to be sold! I watched as the other chef was adding ingredients, taking a small bowl to taste test for himself, and then adjusting some more. Over 10 minutes AFTER I was handed the sandwich, the younger chef comes to me with a bag, apologizing for the delay as they reheated the soup. So, he lied about what he was going, and also they weren't keeping track of orders!

The sandwich was made with fresh, tasty ingredients, but for about $14, it was disappointing. It was made on a 6-inch section of a skinny, 1-inch wide ciabatta bread. There might have been a total of 1 ounce of prosciutto on the entire sandwich, but I also might be generous with that amount. (Even if they paid as much as $20/lb for the meat, their cost was just over a dollar for the amount of meat on this $14 sandwich.) I was given napkins with the sandwich, but placed INSIDE the box with the sandwich, so of course, some of the napkins were soiled by the food and dressings.

The soup was tasty, with a generous amount of ginger. It was served with a few small chunks of rather stale bread with a hint of olive oil on them.

Maybe this works for the tourists, and the desperate highway travelers ever since the diner closed, but as a Sullivan County local, I won't be coming back anytime soon. Overpriced, poor service, bad ambiance.

Great food and lovely grocery selection of fresh local food, a place to stop by !!

They have always had good local produce, a nicely curated grocery section and loads of craft beer and cider. Soups and sandwiches are tasty, and a recent revamp of their coffee set up makes it the only place to get a properly prepared coffee for miles.

Quaint place with a small grocery too. Lots of cider collections in different styles of bottles and snacks and cheeses etc. Seating capacity is rather small and a bit restricted.
Our vegetarian members had a brocolli chowder soup each and a Willowemoc vegan sandwich. I had a savory pulled chicken served on a ciabatta bread on a bed of spinach. It was definitely one of the best chicken sandwich type preparations I have had in the US. Wasn't spicy but still suited my Indian palate. The hard cider I had was good too. They did mess up our orders a bit, serving two vegetarian soups instead of one brocolli and one non vegetarian soup. It was OK though. The food was good and it was more like a family joint rather than a professional joint so it happens.

Cute store with nice selection of food, but the kitchen is super disorganized. We were the first to order breakfast when the store opened and still don’t have our egg sandwiches a FULL HOUR later. We were refunded. We should have left much earlier.

Good quality, but NYC prices! Sandwich portions are a bit small

Such a great place! My husband and I randomly stopped in once on a drive from NYC to Syracuse, and we fell so much in love that every time we make the trip, we plan our route so that we can stop here for lunch! The sandwiches are absolutely incredible and delicious, and they have a great selection of general store items, food and otherwise. The staff has been incredibly friendly each time we've stopped in, which only adds to the great experience.
