Stroudsmoor Bakery & Café

Stroudsmoor Bakery & Café

A bakery & café in Stroudsburg.

It's a casual, budget-friendly stop — the $ price tier means you can pick up something for the drive or sit down with a coffee without much thought about the bill. The bakery-and-café combination makes it a natural fit for a morning start before a day of hiking or shopping, a mid-afternoon coffee break, or a low-key pause when nobody in the group wants a full sit-down meal. The atmosphere is relaxed rather than formal, so it works just as well for families with kids in tow as it does for a solo traveler with a book.

Practical notes for planning: Stroudsburg puts it within easy reach of the eastern Poconos, so it slots neatly into a day built around other stops. Given that it's a bakery, it's worth calling ahead or arriving earlier in the day if there's something specific you're hoping to find — baked goods tend to be best, and most available, in the morning.

Hours, menus and prices change. Call ahead or check the venue's own site before you go.
