Everybody's Cafe

This friendly, family owned cafe/bistro is located in a former house located on Columbia Turnpike in East Greenbush. Owner Nicole has been running this venture hands on since the beginning. Nicole has escaped to Vermont but still is on the scene frequently. The day to day operation is now in the hands of Nicole's younger brother.

This old house has wood plank floors and a casual comfortable feel. There are tables in the left and right wings of the house with a array of overstuffed couches and chairs in the center section. Paintings and photographs from local artists are displayed and for sale on the walls.


Patrons order at the register as they enter the Cafe and the food is delivered to your table. During our latest visit my wife and I each had a cup of the Creme of Red Potato soup and a 1/2 sandwich. The soup was delicious though the taste of butter was a touch too heavy. Our sandwich was served on fresh whole wheat bread with a thick cut of roast turkey, a matching slice of mozzarella cheese, spinach, tomato and a sun dried tomato pesto spread. It was a perfect lunch for a snowy afternoon.

My wife closed the meal with a white chocolate, walnut, pumpkin bread. She described it as having a nice flavor of cardamon and cinnamon with no overpowering taste of white chocolate or pumpkin. One complaint was that it was slightly undercooked in the center.

We always enjoy a stop in at this underutilized eatery. It is warm, inviting and non-judgemental. It features a wide array of interesting coffees and teas and always has something new to try. Everybody's Cafe is at 674 Columbia Turnpike in East Greenbush. It is open from 7am-4pm Monday - Friday and 8am-2pm on Saturday. Wednesdays feature dinner until 8pm.
