Oh, hello

We are thrilled for the Christmas by the River in Coxsackie event this weekend, and even more excited to BE A PART OF IT! Yours truly is hosting the ✨Grand Finale✨ with the Coxsackie-Athens Community Band right here at the Wire Event Center at 4:15pm, December 4th. Check out the entire day's lineup below.

Please help us spread the word and share!

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you these last 16 months. Unfortunately, we have had to make the difficult decision to close our cafe. This Saturday, June 25th, will be our last day of business.

We understand this decision may come as a surprise and may seem sudden. As some of our customers may know, we have four young children and are involved in other family businesses. We have had to make some difficult decisions regarding our children’s education especially in light of a particular developing health situation. In light of this situation, we have realized that for our family’s current well-being, we need to take a step back to go forward.

With these reasons in mind, we hope our decision is able to be understood as we have so enjoyed being a part of our community in a special way this last year. We will forever be grateful for our amazing staff and loyal customers who have graciously supported us along the way.

From our hearts, we want to say, “Thank you!”

We are working with another local family to pass the baton. In our eyes, this transfer-ship is an ideal situation where the cafe would live on under new leadership. As this situation develops, we will keep you updated.

Sincerely,

W&K

COFFEE SODA special: We take house-roasted espresso and pour it atop a blend of Polar water, non-gmo raspberry syrup + our house-made organic vanilla syrup, we then garnish with fresh lemon for zip. DIET version available (stevia/monk fruit syrups).

And just like that we’re back with a full court press with our espresso. Our espresso machine is back. We’re still serving up the best espresso drinks around

Ever wish there was BUBBLE TEA a little closer to home? NOW, we’re carrying natural and organic freshly brewed milk teas with lots of options. Starting today, we have Bubble Tea on our menu in-store and online from 10am onwards everyday. Available now: Fresh Brown Sugar Boba with delicious flavors like... Blue Lychee Pineapple, Rose Black, Hojicha with Kuromitsu Syrup, Matcha with Strawberry Purée and Plum Oolong with Chia. Tell all your friends, come hang with us, and get some BOBA.

It’s been rainy, dreary and we’re all longing for the sun and warmth at the end of the tunnel. At Greater Things Roasters, we have warm and tasty drinks available to brighten up your day.

Get your afternoon fix with the perfect pairing. French Macarons and coffee or tea! It’s the perfect afternoon pickup: light, flavorful, and refreshing.

Two things we love about early spring... the glimmer of warm weather and maple syrup! As the weather starts to turn, the sugar shacks in the northeast turn up the heat to produce the novel, local maple syrup we create our delicious coffee drinks with! Our friends at make some of the best local maple syrup right here in the Catskill Mountains. We have hot and iced maple lattes as our signature drink special, made with real maple nuggets + Ceylon cinnamon + milk of choice. Fresh maple syrup is available to add to any drink you would like!

We’re back on our espresso game! We were able to pick up this cute Linea Mini to keep us going while our main machine gets serviced. Our plan is to double down on our fresh espresso for the next couple weeks with this Italian stallion and provide espresso at the future for our mobile coffee cart. **Normal hours resumed**
Monday-Friday 6:30-4pm; Saturday 7:30-3pm

🐎🐎🐎🍒🍒🍒

Getting dialed in for the week ahead! We are looking forward to some warmer weather and delicious coffee.

Remember when you were a kid eating pop tarts at the breakfast table? Now you’re a bigger kid with some measure of responsibility and you drink really good locally roasted coffee. Now when you get your morning cup, you can eat house-made pop tarts from the local coffee shop.

Yeah, we’re making house pop tarts. Tell all your friends the childhood dream is still alive.

We’re doing an giveaway today to celebrate our one year anniversary. Here’s the rules: like this post & tag a friend in the comments who isn’t currently following our page. We will choose one lucky winner who will receive a French press, GTR travel mug and a retail bag of coffee.

Happy Snow day!

Today is our one year anniversary! It has been a whirlwind of a year for us. We have been learned and grown through the highs and lows. We’ve adjusted with the growing pains and consumed lots of coffee on the days we went without much sleep.

We are so thankful for all the support of the local community. In light of our appreciation, we will be doing random drink GIVEAWAYS today 2/24! This Saturday, 2/26, we are amping up the fun with a 10% DISCOUNT on everything, FREE drink giveaways, and a special coffee hardware GIVEAWAY via social media. We look forward to seeing everyone’s faces today and Saturday!

Is it wrong to drink cold brew in the cold? We don’t think so either. For a refreshing pick-me-up on these lingering cold days, we have our snap chilled coffee cans from ready for whenever, wherever you are.

We’re starting a new series featuring our beloved baristas and their favorite drinks that they developed.

First up is Naomi. She is a life-long Coxsackie native. When she isn’t making delicious drinks, she is making unique pottery including the hand thrown mugs we sell in the cafe.

Naomi’s drink of choice is a steamed cinnamon oat milk latte with honey and vanilla. It’s a delicious and warm drink that is sure to keep you warm on these cold days.

Happy Valentines Day! We’re looking forward to a great week ahead. We love all our staff and customers a Latte 😘

These long cold days of winter require extra coffee. We have plenty of coffee and special mugs to keep you warm and moving on even the frostiest days.

PS… fifty cents off any drink poured into your GTR travel mug!

Our Salted Caramel Latte has been one of our favorite drinks for this winter season. Salted caramel covered in our house roasted espresso, steamed local milk and topped with our house-made toffee crumbles. This is a delicious treat that helps keep you warm during these long cold days.

This cold weather just won’t let it gooooo…so we are keeping our soups delicious and hot. This week we are serving a creamy white bean and kale soup (Vegan, GF). Delicate, French flageolet beans are the star of the show… prepared with fresh lacinato kale and mirepoix, fresh herbs, lemon and a light kick of pepper to bring some heat. Served with a steamed baguette drizzled with olive oil. It’s hot, healthy and absolutely delicious.

Roasting coffee is at the heart of what we do. It’s how we got our start in coffee as a business and it’s what makes our cup different. Roasting enables us to curate our coffees to what we believe defines something different and enjoyable. Locally roasted coffee supports local small business while enjoying a more heightened product that has not sat in shipping or on the grocery store shelves for long periods of time. We roast and provide weekly a cherished but simple pleasure.

Happy Monday! We’re so happy to be back at it serving the best coffee and goods around. Stop in and see us this week we’re waiting to serve you some greater things!

We are now offering a weekly soup special. First up, is a housemade Creamy Roasted Tomato and Pepper (Vegan, GF), served with a steamed baguette drizzled with olive oil. Come in and warm up with a comforting soup and your favorite beverage.

We hope everyone is staying warm!

Unfortunately we are going to have to push back our opening date to Monday the 17th. Due to COVID staffing shortages at the servicing site, our espresso machine is not yet back from getting serviced yet. We miss everyone deeply and can’t wait to see you all again soon!

We want to wish everyone a safe and wonderful New Years! The cafe will be open normal business hours on NYE and we WILL be open Saturday 1/1/22 from 7:30-3.

We also want to announce that we are going to take a short break from 1/3/22-1/11/22. We acknowledge this short break may be tough for those who regularly come to see us, but we know our family, staff, and coffee machinery need a short refresher. Don’t worry we will see you all very soon on 1/12/22 rested, refreshed, and ready serve!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Merry Christmas! We’re definitely feeling festive. Our holiday hours are as follows:

Christmas Eve 12/24: 6:30 - 4:00 (Normal Hours)
