So savory, so tasty

It’s a cute little informal place in New Paltz. We were just passing through and looking for a lunch place. We had the greens and beans, the sauerkraut soup, and a tempeh stroganoff special. The second two items mentioned above were very good, with unique and interesting flavors. The first item was a little more straightforward and earthy, but good too. Highly recommended and better than the majority of vegan places in Brooklyn.

Pros: All vegan, Creative and tasty dishes, Plenty of sweets and coffee/chocolate/tea drinks

Cons: Portions a bit small

Beautiful community space

The food is fantastic—just a few options, but hearty and delicious. (Think soup, pasta, beans and cornbread.) They also have an extensive pastry, chocolates and coffee selection. Best of all is the Mitzvah Wall, where you can make a purchase on behalf of a friend or stranger and leave a note for someone to redeem it (ie “a cup of tea for someone short on cash this week”). A beautiful concept.

Turns out to be nice!

In a few recent visits to the Commissary (my first), I found it to be a pleasant café with some serious vegan food offerings. Wi-fi was available, as it is most places. A quiet, polite mix of people studied, worked, or quickly departed with their selections. On an out-of-the-way alley with some interesting stores, including bookstores. The main store for the business's own confections is nearby. I enjoyed the two substantial dishes I ordered, which were a salad and a soup. The salad was somewhat small but beautiful and tasty. The drip brew coffees were appealing, though neither was a dark roast, a favorite kind of mine. I was thrilled to enjoy this relatively new entry in the field.

Pros: a completely vegan place with a pleasant setting, university-area café vibe, open a lot of hours during the day

Cons: limited number of substantial dishes on menu

Amazing. SERIOUSLY. AMAZING

My wife and I had the spinach pesto special (hope they make this a regular fixture on the menu) and of course their famous Mac n cheese. It far exceeded expectations. I’d give 10 stars if I could. The staff are wonderful and friendly and clearly love what they do.

They also have a wall where patrons can “pay it forward” by buying something for a stranger and leaving it on the wall for them. So cool.

Pros: food quality , portions, price

Yum

The food here is out of this world, the best Mac n Cheese I’ve ever had! The spinach ramen pesto was also great. The first time coming I got the Mac and it came out pretty quick. The second time I came with 3 others and they gave us one dish every 20 minutes (so the last item took 40 minutes). So the wait time for food would be my only complaint because it was really frustrating. The food is worth it though and the iced coffee is good too!

Pros: delicious food and coffee, cool atmosphere, outdoor seating

Cons: long wait for food, small menu

Amazing!

We were looking for a spot to get some breakfast Easter morning while visiting Bard college. I would drive back up here (I'm from DC) just to return to this shop!
First of all, everyone here was super friendly. Amazing coffee. Amazing chocolates! My friend and I both got the baked Mac & Cheese, and I lived it. This is a fantastic shop. I wish I loved nearby and could visit daily.
Update: visited again a year later. STILL DELICIOUS. They make all their own milks in house. Got some chocolates to take home, too.

Pros: Everything is vegan. All the vegan chocolate! Grea

Cons: Worth the price!

I adore this place!

This place makes my heart so happy and belly super satisfied. I loooove the vegan ramen! (served every other tuesday). But honestly every single thing I have ordered here has been amazing. The salads are delicious, the hot beverages are perfect, and of course their mac n cheese (best ever). You can just tell that they work so hard on everything they make. Commissary has such a special place in my heart. What are you waiting for!? Go now!

Pros: the loveliest place, great staff, best food, passi

Cons: pricey but worth every single penny!

Do NOT miss this little gem

New Paltz is a cool little college town with many options when it comes to veg eating but if you're looking for delicious all vegan comfort food this is the place. The mac and cheeze is phenomenal. Problem is, it's so good I haven't tried anything else but I know others who have and have been assured the menu is can't miss. There are also yummy sweets, coffee, chocolates and did I mention ALL VEGAN! Go here...now!

Great Little Cafe

From the same owners as Lagusta's Luscious it has to be good and is. Great warm drinks, friendly atmosphere, good wi-fi and oh those yummy little treats.
I know that it is not the focus, but my one wish would be for more food selections. That is my wish, but not part of the rating as everything they do, they do well.
Also have a great Mitzvah wall where you can buy a stranger something, or someone will buy you something.

Pros: Great Location, Friendly Staff, Amazing treats

Cons: Small food menu

OH MY GOD!!!! DELICIOUS!!!

So me and my wife stopped at Lagusta's Luscious Commissary in New Paltz New York and we both got their baked mac and cheese, she got a slushie and I got the ants on a log smoothie. Dear god it was all amazing. The max and cheese alone makes me want to uproot our family from Williamsport pa to New Paltz. The smoothie and the slushie were also very tasty. I am already longing for another trip and we haven't even left the commissary yet!!!!

Pros: FULLY VEGAN, Mac and cheese would fool a non vegan, Food to die for and amazing atmosphere

Cons: Needing to move up here just to be closer.

the best!

I love this place! The food, drinks, and vibe are all perfect :) they have a great assortment of delicious chocolates as well as a huge zine section so you can just curl up with some sweets, a warm drink and a bunch of badass zines for an afternoon.
