Waypoint Cafe

Waypoint Cafe is a Main-Street cafe in Long Lake at 1265 Main St, serving as both morning-coffee stop and lunchtime go-to in a hamlet where year-round dining options are limited. Coffee runs on La Colombe beans. The food menu is wider than typical café-fare: homemade quiche, avocado toast, artisan sandwiches, salads, poke bowls, homemade soups, and charcuterie and hummus boards. Hours: Tuesday – Sunday, 8 a.m. – 3 p.m., closed Mondays. Happy Hour Monday – Thursday, 4 – 6 p.m. — a useful detail for travelers passing through outside the lunch window. Phone: (518) 624-2012. Best for: travelers on NY-30 between Tupper Lake and Long Lake village, paddlers and hikers starting from Long Lake, and locals running a weekday lunch errand.
