I considered not writing this review because we (my wife and I) didn't venture to The Bakehouse of Tarrytown for any reason other than looking for a place that had breakfast and didn't have a massive line out the door (there was a line, but more on that in a minute). But after stumbling upon it, we're definitely happy we did to the point where I would be remiss if I didn't write up this review and give it the five stars it deserves!
Honestly, the only reason we ended up here was because everywhere else in Tarrytown on this mid October weekend was mobbed. There were lines and crowds and pretty much made it hard to want to get some grub from any of these joints. The Halloween hoards of humans is definitely something Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow has a hard time keeping up with, but some spots make it worth the wait and The Bakehouse is one of them!
Like I mentioned, we stumbled upon this bakeshop (that was once a train station plaza) which had a decent line, but differently to other places, it had some seating available and didn't feel as claustrophobic. What was also impressive to see was the massive menu of pastries, salads, sandwiches, and other hot breakfast foods. We chose to get a raspberry square and a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich. The young man behind the counter was helpful in recommending what kind of bread and told us the kitchen was a little backed up so it might be about 15-20 minutes before the sandwich was ready (it ended up being shorter than this which he also said he thought it would be).
After paying, we found a seat and sat to split that raspberry square while we waited for the egg handheld. Oh man was that square good. It tasted fresh, fruity, and flavorful. Once the sandwich was ready we decided to take it on the move and ate it in a nearby park, but dang was it hot, gooey from the cheese, and downright delicious. I was interested in getting coffee from there before we left, but we had already had a cup so perhaps this will be a reason to come next time (I'd definitely come back!).
Overall, The Bakehouse of Tarrytown is legit. It earns those Yelp stars for its total score and deserves the accolades for serving up some great food options, helpful service, and an interior location that can handle the seasonal crowds a little better than some other spots. Definitely check em out and wait on that line. It's worth it!
