Apple Pie Bakery Cafe - HYDE PARK

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.

What can one say about the culinary. They should expect the best and Apple Pie is as fine a casual coffee shop and restaurant as one could find. My associate and I visited twice a week for many years until covid hit. We met Mauro it's professor manager who understands everything about the restaurant industry. He taught me much I even attended one of his classes as an auditor a truly great teacher. Retail Maven no longer rates 1 and 2 Star venues they are of no importance.
