Floyd & Bobo's Bakery and Snack Palace, Liberty NY

Places like this make it worth leaving the house and it's desserts like theirs that make you appreciate your taste buds.

I stopped in to get six bagels for breakfast and was told that I could not buy six bagels because they wanted to save them to make breakfast sandwiches. They recommended that I go to Monticello Bagel Bakery and their bagels were delicious. I highly recommend driving past Floyd and Bobo to get your bagels in Monticello.

Stopped in as it’s seemingly the last cafe on the way to the Slide Wilderness from that direction. Hard to pass judgement on the sandwiches as we ate them many hours later on the trail, but the ricotta cheesecake and rainbow cookies are two Italian staples from my childhood and they did both very well. The cheesecake was lemony and somewhat custardy, with a bit of a creme brulee finish on the crust of it that added some nice caramelized flavors. The rainbow cookies were just right, properly dense (a lot of places make them as flour cakes instead of incorporating marzipan as you're supposed to) and with good jam and a good hard chocolate shell. It's hard to find foods you've loved since childhood that are as good as you remember them to be. Folks were friendly too and the prices totally reasonable. Didn't try the coffee. Excited to go back next time I'm in the area and keep working my way through the dessert case.

Ellen & Louie are the sweetest! Delicious coffee, and Ellen makes the best lemon bars I’ve ever tasted! I wish I could have them delivered to Brooklyn

Went for a quick breakfast and picked up some baked goods on the way out - all delicious!

Limited selection, overpriced, milk curdle in coffee and undercooked baked good. Quality has dwindled over the years as with most local shops.
