I never got a chance to eat there. I went for lunch, stood at the kitchen window with the sign Order Here for several minutes, while two surly looking people were moving about in there making sandwiches, completely ignoring me. So I walked out. I believe a couple behind me who first went to the small indoor seating area to the right for a while, were ignored there, then came and waited behind me for a while, I saw them leaving behind me.
Ate brunch/lunch here multiple times during our vacation on Lake Pleasant. Good breakfast and lunch menus with some healthy choices, good coffee drinks, friendly staff.
My friend and I stopped by there for lunch today. The girls were nice enough, but the sandwiches were definitely not worth $10.50 each. I had the Reuben and he had some roastbeef something or other. They were more like $5 sandwiches I would make at home. They skimped on the meat pretty badly. To top it off, we both had repeated bathroom trips when we returned to our homes. I dont think well be returning anytime soon. Sorry, but you lose. 👎
Great sandwiches. Really good pancakes and french toast
Great place. Fast service. Clean. Sandwiches were very, very good. Wed stop in here again if we were in the area.
Very good food! Great small diner for breakfast thats close to Oak Mountain. Highly recommend the cinnamon buns, easily can serve 2 people. Friendly service with cooks and waitresses as well!
My absolute favorite sandwich shop. Our whole family loves it. We stop twice a year on our way to and home from Lake Placid. Service is friendly sandwiches and baked goods cant be beat. I wish I lived closer.
Very interesting sandwiches and coffees for a great lunch break as we traveled through the area, with cheese and fruit within the sandwich making it so tasty!
Stopped here for lunch. The woman, who I believe is the owner, was so nice and welcoming. Purchased some freshly made cinnamon buns for dessert later. They also serve Seattle’s Best Coffee. I highly recommend for breakfast or lunch.
Stopped on our way through Speculator. Staff was very friendly and even offered our dog a giant water bowl. Sandwiches were great. Grabbed some coffee to go which was excellent as well. A nice stop in a quaint little town.
I love Timberline— excellent food and service. we always look forward to grabbing breakfast here when we are in town!
My wife and I live a half hour away and we try to frequent Timberline whenever we venture into Speculator. Their homemade food is delicious... In fact I cant recall ever having a bad meal here. The owners are polite and welcoming and the atmosphere is what Id imagine a rustic cafe to be, cozy and personal. If you are in the area you must stop by for lunch, or at the very least a treat from the bakery!
Good coffees and nice selection of menu items. Lower score was due to the unfriendly window saleswoman and her rushing us to get our orders even tho there wasnt anyone else in line that afternoon. Needs some training in customer service and an attitude adjustment.
On the way to Lake Placid, we take the long way just so we can stop here. The food is great. The view is amazing. Friendly staff. Its worth going out of your way for! Next time you are in the area, and are craving some good breakfast, make sure to stop at Timberline!
Excellent little cafe. Our favorite spot to stop for lunch when were driving through the Adirondacks. A good variety of sandwiches and breakfast items. As well as a bakery case with some standard favorites like brownies and muffins. Everything is delicious!
Stopped by for lunch and had the roast beef and cheese with onion. Two slices thin roast beef, slice of cheese and a few onion on white bread. Handful of chips. While the sandwich was tasty it was way overpriced.
The food was excellent. And they have an extensive selection of drinks, including Vietnamese iced coffee, which was delicious. The sandwiches we had were all excellent. I am giving this five stars thinking in terms of what I would expect from a place in a major city like NYC or Chicago, and not just here in ADK.
Nice coffee shop. Great coffee and we got a quite tasty sconce.Looks like its frequented by both locals and visitors alike.They also serve some sandwiches and breakfast, but we have not tried the food.One of the attractions is free WiFi too.
Stopped here for lunch. I had the really delicious curried chicken salad and vietnamese iced coffee! Friendly staff too!
Great food, great service, great locally owned business that you should visit because its delicious And the right thing to do.
Delicious sandwiches and good coffee. The wait was a bit long but they were understaffed, so its understandable.
Their board sandwiches sound interesting, but in practice arent that great. I had a roast beef with horseradish, cheese, and mushrooms, it was disappointing. My girlfriend had some sandwich with turkey and a mango chutney - it just seemed like they were trying too hard. Id been in the past and got a normal sandwich which was good, but this last time left me hungry and disappointed.
This place is awesome. The staff is super nice and friendly and it’s a very nice environment. The food is not expensive, high quality and tastes aamazing. They have a huge drink selection ranging from different juices to specialty espressos.
This is one of our families favorite places to stop at for lunch. BEWARE whatever sauce they use on their ADK BLT is addictive.
The food was pretty good. But the customer service was just weird. They seated a party that arrived after us before us forcing us to sit outside in the sun. And the staff didnt respond well to a member of my party sending the food back.
Went with a family of 7. Very friendly staff. Food wasnt the best but it didnt take long to get. My Reuben was great but also overpriced.Limited seating inside and none inside for a group larger than 4.We made the mistake if going at what must have been a prime time but there was only one okay getting drinks for around 30 people. Felt bad for her but she started friendly the whole time.
Great place to stop in for a coffee or baked good. We always get a fresh cinnamon bun and cappuccino when were in the area. Ive been wanting to try their lunches or breakfasts cause they look so good.
This is my favorite place to eat in Speculator! They have lots of great sandwiches, but Im a sucker for the ADK BLT - Id say its the best BLT Ive had anywhere. The owners and staff are friendly, and they make awesome desserts too!
Fast service awesome staff!! Cook was Available and friendly!!I live in New Jersey go to Camp The Woods. We always Make sure we stop by for at least 2 or 3 times.Food is great and place is clean!
My fruit salad was soggy and all the juice other wise was non existent, our breakfast sandwiches were good but not worth the money. The coffee also wasnt bad but doesnt stand out.
I was waiting at the counter for over 10 minutes they completely disregarded me the entire time.... meanwhile people would walk up beside me and they would ask them what they wanted and within one minute they would get there drinks... I got so fed up with them I sat down and started eating my food... now my food was cold and I got French toast that doesnt taste good at all for the prices, and the bacon was burnt. No once did they ask me for what I wanted.
Wonderful. The people were friendly and helpful as well as knowledgeable. The food was great. Will definitely make it a stop next time I pass through the area.
Center of Speculator - nice place to stop for lunch on our way to or from Keene Valley. Good coffee drinks, sandwiches and salads. Can dine in or out. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
I dont know when this place is open. Got there at 7:30 AM. It was closed Wednesday Feb 5, 2020. Went to the diner across the street and had a good breakfast. When we left at 8:15 AM. the Timberline was still closed.
This building as far back as I can remember was a hair salon, then Chinese food, and now this. Things keep getting better!The good here is great, the coffee and other morning drinks varied, and the ambiance cozy.
Just stopped for breakfast, friendly efficient and fast.Fresh baked products and imaginative sandwich fillings free coffee top upsWell done staff and owners.
Wonderful food. Best pancakes around (buttermilk). Open when they say they are. High quality cafe drinks (lattes, chai, etc) with all the options (incl. soy/almond milk).
Fantastic Adirondack eatery, great sandwiches, breakfast, specialty coffee, and baked goods. Ingredients are excellent quality.
The Timberline is my go to place in Speculator. I start my morning right with a delicious breakfast sandwich the Kunjamuk (named after a local river) and exquisite breakfast coffee from Seattles Best or a fine crafted latte. The staff is wonderfully nice and always interested in your days plan for adventure. No trip to Speculator is complete without a trip to the Timberline.
This absolute goddess of a baker (metaphorically) saved my life with a raspberry-almond scone. Though they were not open (this reviewer a privileged city white woman trying the door at 3:30, assuming hours of convenience), the divine woman opens the door for two field-exhausted scientists in need of a carbohydrate-fix. Rather than leave us to the fate of ice cream of questionable quality, she allowed us to walk over her just-mopped for and exchange money for pastries. This cafe and bakery deserves all of the patronage.
Not a greasy spoon. Interesting sandwiches and a variety of drinks. No other place like it in Speculator. Pastries only add to the interesting menu choices.
The pancakes 🥞 are light, fluffy and delicious! Friendly staff. Highly recommended 👍😎
Food was ok. No great shakes. But not expensive for being at the end of nowhere.Apparently taxes were randomly assigned. $1.50 + tax 1.79. $2.00+tax... 2.70. uh... Nope. Not a world ender, per person. Disgusting when adding it across the days sales. Dont know where their failure is, but its illegal and fraudulent in practice regardless of the cause. Fix it. Ill try to find he proper state/county organization to help.
Very nice place for a good tasty breakfast. Service is fast and the staff are super friendly. The food is delicious as well.
I had coffee & chicken ceasar salad. Cold chicken, would have liked it grilled (hot), some lettuce leaves were old. Friendly counter person & wifi.
Super duper little roadside cafe. Extra nice staff. Great baked goods and selection of sandwiches salads etc.
We stopped half way during a 6 hour trip and it was perfect. Fast friendly service and they had gluten free toast.
Nice little breakfast & pastry stop - Loved my bagel, egg & chesse sandwich 👍 My wife loved the pastries - If you like homemade brownies, this is your place 😊👍👍
Excellent customer service! They did not know what a cortado was, so we explained what it was and they nailed it! Great staff, good prices, overall great experience!
Great food and friendly staff!
We just stopped for coffee and a fresh baked cinnamon roll but the breakfast offerings looked delicious. A step up from many eating places in the area.
Awesome! Good prices, the people are so nice and the restroom is clean.
Stopped in on our way home to Vermont after a week camping. Great coffee, free WiFi, yummy baked treats for the road.
Easy, quick service. Food was delicious, and the whole place was very very clean. Loved it, and will absolutely return.
Had the most delicious sandwich. The Pig Rock on wheat! Great iced coffee too.

2021-07-30Cute bakery and cafe located near lake Pleasant along the Adirondack trail route. Stooped there for lunch on our drive from Burlington, VT to Rochester, NY.Uniquely crafted sandwiches and homemade baked goods, complimented by fresh made beverages. The staff was warm and welcoming. It was the perfect lunch stop along our travels.

2020-07-26It is just ok considering that there were one of two open places serving food in that area. Woman was kind of rude and impatience. I think they do not welcome people with foreign accents. Well, this is a touristic destination so foreign should be welcome here! Or it is just for locals and nationals? Sandwich was excelente. We asked for the ciabtra sandwich with ham, eggs and vinaigrette red onion. Coffee deserve 5 starts!

2021-07-18It was pouring rain outside and my grandson and I went here. The women taking the order was very curt with us. I informed her that we have never been in her restaurant before and to give us a minute to check out the menu. I asked for my egg over well and she said that it might not be....then I ordered 4 coffees and she just pointed....I looked and saw a coffee station further down. When that was done she handed me a stick with the number 1 on it to show the waitstaff further down when getting my order. The strange thing was....THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE THERE. I can spend my money anywhere....I would think twice about going there. I found out the donut place by Charlie Johns makes the best egg, ham and cheese on an english muffin for $3 less then this place. Out of my grandsons mouth. these are better than that other place.

2018-09-01Trendy coffee house for young people to come and hang out. They have a good food menu selection as well.

2018-07-01Tasty breakfast place. Food pricing is very reasonable. Some of the fancier drinks get a little pricy, but the food value outweighs this. Plenty of outdoor seating, but cramped indoor seating, even on off peak times. I had French Toast.

2021-09-17Great fresh food all prepared on site. Enjoyed an open face meatloaf sandwich (The Mountain View) that had incredibly complex and delicious flavors. Must visit
