This place is wonderful, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the drinks are delicious and they have a great variety of teas, delicious coffee, the place is cozy, very clean, I recommend it 100%. Don't miss the opportunity to try something different and healthy above all. Oh, and you can also buy dried tea to prepare at home, and they sell different options. I love it.👍🏻

This was our second visit to The Ridge. We really enjoyed the cappuccino's last time. After buying chocolate at Krause's we read that The Ridge makes their hot chocolate using Krause's chocolate so we decided to give it a try. Wow, it was by far the best hot chocolate I've ever tasted and I've had a lot! Absolutely perfect with chocolate shavings on the top. Yum! Also, lovely, friendly service.

The Ridge has officially moved onto Main St, and expanded into a great little cafe with ample seating, and a great atmosphere. Whether you need tea, coffee, spices, or a quick snack- this is the place to go. Tea and coffee (hot or iced) is entirely custom, you literally pick it off the wall. Specifically the tea. You can mix and match it however you like- honestly, it’s a really cool concept, and I’ve never seen it before. It’s only about $4-$5, and the cup is quite large for the price. One recommendation would be to label their cups! Even a waterproof sticker makes all of the difference. If you’d like, you can get tea leaves by the ounce- dry, same with spices. But, know that it doesn’t count toward your loyalty points (if that matters to you as a returning customer). They have a nice

This place has a great selection of teas. They carry astrology tea and since I am a Gemini I had to try it. Amazing. Fast forward to last week. I was bummed it wasn't in stock. Corrinne thought she had some in her stock and immediately put on her coat ( on a busy Saturday) and went to look. She felt so bad that she didn't find any, but was getting some in that week. She said she would ship it free of charge. But the best part is she had to be in Kingston anyway the next day and delivered it to me. I will be a customer whenever I go to New Paltz.

We stopped in while on a road trip from Delaware to Montreal. What a cool little place! It's a combination tea/coffee place. The person who helped us could not have been nicer. I had the Maple Rosemary Latte which was amazing! We would certainly frequent this place if we lived in the area. Check it out!
