When you're deep in the Adirondacks Mountains, it can be difficult to find those hidden gems that make the local food and beverage scene unique. And when you need a little extra energy before hitting the trail, it helps to have a great local coffee shop in the area. Adirondack Mountain Coffee Cafe is the perfect stop on your mountain adventure if you're looking for a great cup of coffee and breakfast in the midst of upstate New York's mountain paradise!

If you find yourself on an Adirondack adventure and in need of a pick-me-up for that next big hike, this coffee shop in Jay, New York is the perfect pit stop.

Located in Upper Jay, just 20 miles northeast of Lake Placid, it's a hidden gem for coffee-lovers and welcome surprise for anyone on a mountain adventure!

And if you need some fuel before setting out on an alpine exploration, drop by for a hearty breakfast of trout and eggs or a bagel with smoked salmon.

The cafe is just minutes away from the Jay Mountain Trailhead, High Falls Gorge, and Whiteface Mountain. You'll have no shortage of options for outdoor adventure as soon as you walk out the door!

While Adirondack Mountain Cafe is currently only open for pickup, it's still a great way to enjoy some of their specials like roast beef, the pulled pork sandwich, and the Philly cheesesteak.

When the restaurant reopens, diners can look forward to enjoying this cozy mountain space tucked away in one of the most scenic areas of New York.

In addition to online ordering, fans of Adirondack Mountain Coffee can order coffee and merchandise from the cafe's website. Or just stop by for a cup before you hit the trails.

While you're in the area, it's worth checking out the 6.9-mile Jay Mountain Trail for incredible views of the region. The 22-acre High Falls Gorge is also a prime hiking spot featuring waterfalls and some stellar hikes for all skill levels. You can order from the cafe's website here.
