Little Goat | Rhinebeck, NY

A bakery, pantry, and all-day café that epitomizes that low-key countryside chic that the Hudson Valley is known for. What does that look like, exactly? There’s bread from nearby Sparrowbush Baker, cheeses from Talbott & Arding, and balsamic vinegars from Flamingo Estate. On an entry table, abundant flower arrangements come courtesy of famed florist Ariel Dearie. (Some of her repeat customers? Sofia Coppola, Marc Jacobs, and Annie Leibovitz.) Grab-and-go food, including rotisserie chicken, are ready for the taking. In the back, waiters serve Mediterranean-inspired dishes like flatbread with broccoli rabe, stracciatella, and Calabrian chili, as well as grilled Hudson Valley steelhead trout. On the shelves, meanwhile, you’ll find vintage ironstone pottery and French ceramics sourced from local antique dealers. All of it is housed in a warm space, painted with Farrow and Ball shades of New White, String, and Wimborne White paints and lit by Nickey Kehoe sconces. The combined visual effect is like being swaddled in a cashmere blanket. Instagram
