The famous Countryside Kitchen

By Rachel Fenty February 3, 2025

This past Saturday morning, my husband and I decided to try Countryside Kitchen, and from the moment we stepped inside, we knew we had found a gem. Tucked away in Mahopac, this cozy, inviting spot is everything you could want in a breakfast and brunch place—warm atmosphere, friendly service, and incredible food that keeps you coming back for more.

We chose to sit in the back deck area, which turned out to be a perfect choice. It’s well-insulated and beautifully decorated, creating a space that feels both relaxing and charming. Even on a chilly morning, it was comfortable and cozy, making our meal even more enjoyable.

Now, onto the food—which was nothing short of amazing! My husband went with a classic omelet, and it was cooked just right—fluffy, flavorful, and packed with fresh ingredients. I ordered the Chicken Coop with extra cheese, and I can confidently say it blew me away. The combination of flavors was absolutely perfect, and I savored every single bite.

But what really caught our eye was the pancake menu. With over a dozen different varieties, each one looking more decadent than the last, we knew right away that we’d have to come back just to work our way through the list! The options were creative, indulgent, and mouthwatering, making it nearly impossible to choose just one.

One of the most unexpected and delightful surprises was the playlist. Every single song that played was a hit—the perfect blend of feel-good, nostalgic, and just the right vibe for a relaxed weekend breakfast. It was one of those little details that truly added to the experience and made us feel even more at home.

Beyond the food and atmosphere, the service was top-notch. The staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed while also giving us space to enjoy our meal. You can tell this is a place run with care and passion—they put thought into every detail, from the menu to the decor to the music.

By the time we finished our meal, we were already talking about when we’d be back. If you’re looking for a place with amazing food, a cozy atmosphere, and those little extra touches that make a meal memorable, look no further than Countryside Kitchen. This is the kind of spot that quickly becomes a favorite, and we can’t wait to return!
