Baristacrats Coffee Bar

A cute little gem hidden in this small town.

Smooth, not bitter, espresso coffee. I enjoyed a carmel macchiato and an apple cinnamon scone.

The owner Alexis is a pleasant gem herself with great service and personality.

We loved this place. Funky, small, and fun. Very nice owner. Dark roast Ethiopian coffee is excellent. You might get to meet Moustache, the kitty cat. Just a minute off I-88. Tricky to find at first. Look carefully and follow the exact address and you'll find it.

Love to see our small businesses participating in local events!

Baristacrats is the best place for iced or hot beverages in Afton 🤤🧋

Great cozy spot. Helpful staff and good coffee and baked goods. Also has free kisses!

This was the first business I visited when I moved up from Kansas last year, since I was staying across the street. Afton is such a wonderfully quaint little community, I walked over in the morning and grabbed some coffee and a brownie. It's such a cute little coffee shop. They're excellently connected with all things local and the barista was incredibly helpful with local tips for me.

A wonderful coffee shop! I walked in and got whacked in the nose by the smell of fresh muffins, so incredible! The staff are so kind, and the coffee is stellar. There’s an outdoor seating area to enjoy your baked goods and coffee under shaded tables with beautiful landscaping. Brava!

We stumbled upon this local gem when we were in Bainbridge for a dog show. It’s cute, quaint and has delicious coffee. Tons of beverages, light breakfast items, pastries and some cute local and gift items are available.

Indoor and outdoor seating make this a great place to meet up with a friend, do some work or just enjoy the morning and read the paper. The staff and other customers were also very friendly and there are a lot of community kind of events and fund raisers advertised in here. It had a very friendly and inclusive vibe. I’m sad we can’t come back through tomorrow as they are closed on Sundays.

I tried the lavender maple latte with oat milk. It was delicious! Both flavors came through very well and neither was overpowering. Just the right amount of sweetness for me. If I ever find myself in this area again I would absolutely come back. The only suggestion I have is that they need to make sure they don’t overfill the cups. My s/o ordered an americano and it was overflowing and burnt his hand on the way to the car.

Great vietnamese coffee, coffee cake, and snicker doodle cooke. The atmosphere is so cute and the owner was who served us and was very friendly. I would definitely go again and recommend to a friend.

Great stop off 88 for a real coffee or espresso beverage. Surprising find for this area.

For a small business she goes over and beyond for her customers. With a line out the door she had it cleared out in no time at all. Her speed and accuracy will prime her for success now and in the future. For today I had a hot chocolate made with steam milk and a ice eggnog latte both made to perfection. Clean place and clean restroom. I look forward to any and all future visits.

The experience was a calm and peaceful ambience. The coffee was a large selection and a high quality. The Vietnamese iced coffee was a perfect blend of quality coffee and sweetened condensed milk. The avocado toast was a pleasure for the pallet. An excellent experience I would do again.

Their coffee and tea selections are great. Nice variety of pasties. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. But I had a fresh fruit smoothies. What a delicious way to end my workweeks

We took a drive out to Alton NY to visit an adorable little coffee shop on Main Street. The walls were filled with the work of local artists. Val had a iced latte and I had an iced macchiato. Our espresso drinks were expertly prepared by a very friendly barista. We will definitely make a return visit. We were very impressed.

Cool little place. Good food too!

I would encourage folks to support these small businesses. There may sometimes be a small difference in price but understand the operating cost is not an even playing field with billion dollar corporations. I would further add that your money goes to support the community and that friendly face you enjoy is your neighbor or perhaps your child that has an employment opportunity locally. Stop out and support your local business today!

Stopped here on our way from PA wilds to the Catskills. Just off 88. Amazing dark roasted iced coffee - so good! Friendly service and clean bathrooms.

Great atmosphere, great coffee and lattes, clean, friendly staff. Wish they had more sizes available to justify prices. I paid the same price as Starbucks and got a small cup.

Great coffee and atmosphere!

Very friendly atmosphere very clean especially during the pandemic times. The staff is so warming and caring. The owner is absolutely wonderful lady.

Coffee and pastries in a small town! Lovely people. Can't go wrong!
