Went back with my parents for breakfast during our trip to Lake Placid this year and got the Key Lime Crepe. Also tried the Blueberry Lemon Curd Crepe. I still really like their crepes and stand by everything I said in my previous review regarding the crepes. I didn't order a smoothie myself but tried both the Banana Pear and what I think was blueberry and raspberry (don't remember exactly) - the banana pear was delicious and had a great creamy texture - the blueberry was good but not really what I'd usually go for and the texture was inconsistent between icy and watery which made it hard to drink.
Coffee was kind of a disappointment. I wanted a decaf Hermit Latte (butterscotch), but first wanted to check if they had decaf espresso, and the woman taking the order said yes and added a decaf espresso to the order. I then said I would have it in a decaf Hermit Latte, to which she just replied, "Oh, you want it in a latte," and I responded, "Yes, Hermit Latte," but when the order was ready I just got a normal latte. I probably could've avoided some confusion by just going straight to the latte order without checking on the decaf, but it was definitely a disappointment to just get a regular latte after trying to confirm that I wanted the Hermit. The latte in itself was also underwhelming, I found the espresso to be very weak.
I feel bad for them since they seem to be very understaffed since COVID - we had a friend who tried to go for lunch and said they'd closed early because they didn't have enough workers to meet demand. They currently don't have indoor seating or ordering, you can order online, by phone, or at the register set up at the door and pick your order up outside when it's ready. During busy hours it gets congested outside. We came right around opening time and didn't have to wait to order in person, but if you're going during a busier time I'd recommend just ordering online or calling.
