Garden Cafe

In Woodstock, you’ll find the political conspiracy theory hippie, the artisan jewelry-making hippie, and the Garden Cafe hippie, who’s posted up at this spot on Old Forage Road. This place makes really good vegetarian and vegan food, and it feels authentic to the Woodstock spirit without being kitschy.

While a lot of the dishes include meat substitutes like tofu or tempeh, there are also vegetable-heavy plates that won’t make you miss meat at all (like the spinach basil pesto pasta and the portobello panini). Go for brunch or dinner, and sit in the outdoor area if it’s nice out.
