Dottie Audrey's Bakery Kitchen — Restaurant in Town of Tuxedo

This place has a bright friendly laid back farm country cafe vibe. They have something to please everyone, from picky kids to grandma to the uncle who watches too much food network and thinks he's a chef. Foodies, welcome! You will not be disappointed with anything. This place has taken influences from all over the world and all different time periods. Some of the recipes are old school from the owners grandmother and some are new world fusion twists, but all the food is done with the highest level of quality ingredients and the utmost care for the end product and the customer experience. Everything is made from scratch...... everything! The grinders(hoagies) are served in warm fresh crispy on the outside fresh baked in-house bread with just the right pillowy chew in the inside. I have had plenty of their different offerings, and there is not a misfire on the menu. Everything on the breakfast menu is delicious! The burgers are sensational, as are the chicken sandwiches, the fish n chips, but the roasted ribeye cheesesteaks and the shrimp po-boy sandwiches are my favorites, but I would walk barefoot over broken glass for their Bahn-mi !!! Even their chicken wings are made with a flare of excellence and originality. Nothing here is like anything you can get anywhere else. The owner is such a sweet woman, and you can tell she genuinely gets satisfied seeing people enjoy their meal, like a happy grandma giving you a bowl of love! I have tried at least 60%of their entire menu, and there is not one thing I can not recommend. And the bakery items..... the bakery items....mmmmmmmm....I need a moment. I always have to leave with a few treats for the wife and kids! My teenage boys mow the lawn without complaining to get their hands on the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and my wife would forgive me for anything if I bring her some of DA's chocolate chip bread pudding with warm caramel bourbon sauce on the side. And a big shout out for how balanced everything is because something like that could be way too sweet, but the baker here knows their stuff. My personal favorite is their fresh baked cereal bread, full of whole grains. It's just bread but it's made with such care and quality, you can't believe how elevated to the next level something as simple as bread can be taken to when you have a true artisan showing off their beloved craft. My only complaint is that of all the goodies the bakery makes, they do not make a chocolate chip cookie. They are my favorite, and I guess I'll have to stick to just imagining how good they might be. But seriously, that's my only complaint. My wife is a coffee snob/afficionado! After her first trip here, she looked at me with such joy from her 1st sip of a double espresso & says, this is where a real barista is! Don't even think twice about going out of your way to get here, I'll answer for you....Yes it's...

OMG you need to go here!

So for some history first....the old Duck Cedar Inn occupied this piece of land until being torn down years ago. Had many a great meal there. I think the last thing we had there was Chateaubriand for two! Red Apple Rest Area, also closed down, is just a bit north.years of history at that place

But back to Dottie Audrey's. We heard about this place because we heard it was dog friendly, however having two Labs we decided to go ourselves first to see how well it would work out.

Their food is amazing. I had the sausage gravy over a baguette with 2 eggs. Comes with fresh greens. Now I consider myself a southern biscuits and sausage gravy expert. This sausage gravy was hands down the best I have ever had. Ever.

My wife had the corned beef hash and eggs. The hash was so unique and DELICIOUS. Not the same corned beef hash you get at EVERY breakfast place.....this hash was different, unique and absolutely delicious.

After not being able to finish either plate (leftovers for another meal!!) we went back inside and bought some baked goods to bring home. Oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, Snickerdoodle, key lime pie slice. All amazing.

Outdoor seating is under cover so even if it's raining your ok to sit out. So for bringing the dogs, which we will next time, it's perfect. We went on a Friday morning...not crowded at all but a good stream of customers the entire time we are there. I have to imagine in the weekends it could get crowded.

The inside was bright and well decorated and clean, bathrooms were spotless, and the staff was so nice and super...

A beautiful hidden gem tucked away inside a strip mall in Tuxedo, NY!

Upon entering, you may take a menu to view what you’d like order when it’s your turn on line. You order your food, take a stand with a local area instead of a number (great way to introduce the region to guests) and go to your seat. The food comes out quickly and is very high quality. As you enter, they even have an area of items for purchase made by local artists, as well as t-shirts available.

The atmosphere and staff were warm and inviting, while the food was delicious and unique. The dining area boasts a beautiful, large stained-glass window on the far side while welcoming you in to what feels like a family’s kitchen with lovely photos from the past which are perfectly placed. The lighting is lovely with brass finishes and warm tones. Everyone looks comfortable and cozy in their indoor and seating areas.

We enjoyed some perfectly made coffee and several dishes and even ordered more food to-go. The Pancakes and French Toast are mouthwatering, you really have to trust me and try them! My husband thoroughly enjoyed Chef Marcin’s recommendation of the Sausage Gravy Baguette! Our party also ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese as well as a salmon quiche with a side of greens- all so very yummy!!

Last, but not least, we purchased a fresh olive loaf, homemade lemonade, a lemon bar, and a piece of crumb cake to go. Nothing was ordinary, all so delectable in their own right! We are elated we happened upon this wonderful little gem of a place and look forward to many...
