Cool Thing the Last Bite in High Falls, NY Will Do After Closing

A popular restaurant in Ulster County, NY recently made the difficult decision to close their doors after 13 years of business. How they're pivoting their business, however, is one of the most unique ideas to hit the Hudson Valley in decades.

Sadly, the announcement marks the second High Falls, NY restaurant to close its doors in recent months, with the beloved Egg's Nest Café making its own closure announcement back in May 2023. While the Egg's Nest is currently looking for new ownership, this enterprising business is doing something different altogether.

"Last Bite says goodbye", began a recent post from the Last Bite Cafe's Facebook page. "The last two years has been very difficult managing the café short staffed and with rising food cost. We can no longer provide a service that we are proud of." Luckily, one thing that helped the restaurant make its mark will live on.

Where to Buy The Last Bite's Pancake Mix

While The Last Bite's menu ranged from elevated omelets to international dinners, a staple of the restaurant has always been their pancakes. "You haven't had pancakes until you've tasted our pancakes," teased their menu. The Last Bite's "campground pancake mix" is a portable and convenient mix meant to be prepared in its own packaging. A six-pack of ready-to-mix containers can currently be purchased on Amazon for $36.
