This location has opened since the last time I was in the area. Funny- I drove by on the way to get a breakfast sandwich down the road and was curious what was in the building as it was busy at 8am. Assumed some office building. Got a breakfast sandwich at Olive's by dollar general and was disappointed as the bread was very dry and basically ruined the sandwich. Seeking a reprieve, I searched for local bakeries and found Bread Alone that I apparently drove by. Bread Alone's Boiceville location is completely carbon neutral and suppedly the largest carbon neutral commercial bakery in the US. Anyway, it's a unique venue. I was only getting a cinnamon roll but ended with 3 items- the breakfast bun, a pecan sticky bun and the flour less chocolate torte. The breakfast roll wasn't a typical cinnamon roll unfortunately, but it tasted great due to probably containing a stick of butter. The torte ($7) was too appealing not to try.

For a few extra dollars, I could have had a breakfast sandwich on fresh bread. I'm unsure the quality of their food beyond the bread, but will find out.

If they're that carbon neutral, I'm surprised there aren't chickens running around so they can retrieve eggs on...

I’ve been going here for well over a decade but only a couple of times each year when coming home from Belleayre skiing or hiking at the Ashokan or other local trails. This was my first time with the new building. The old building was kinda funky and cool. The new building is beautiful. Lots of tables are available to eat inside or outside. A new outside stand is being built which will add another nice aspect to stopping here to eat.

There is a new large solar field behind the building. A sign inside said they are carbon neutral. That’s a nice commitment they made. This adds to what always felt like a caring company.

What brings everyone to Bread Alone is the food. The breakfast menu has a good amount of items on it. I’ve ordered the Breakfast Burrito a couple of times and it’s delicious. That’s really not surprising as everything on their menu is delicious. A few times a year I get lunch from the Rhinebeck Bread Alone a few of their sandwiches and enjoy all of them.

If you stop there you will end up buying a few things to take home. It’s hard to leave without some type of bread or a muffin for breakfast...
