A happy place, with delicious food, the Runway Cafe is located inside the lobby of Hudson Valley Regional Airport. With a great view of the runway, watch the planes come and go as you enjoy yummy food with your family, friends, and our courteous staff.

Fantastic little cafe. Service was awesome; polite and welcoming. Wonderful view of the runway.
Food was quick to come out and absolutely delicious. We regret deciding to split the cheesesteak sandwich. It was so good we should have ordered two!
You know why I only have pictures of the french fries and onion rings? Because we ate everything else before I could get pictures, despite planning to do so before the food arrived.

Cute little cafe located inside the airport. The owner Paula seated us. She was super friendly. Prices were very reasonable. Food was fine. Watching the planes take off over breakfast was pretty cool!

Paula’s Runway Cafe is a hidden gem. The service was stellar here. Very personable team. Super cozy atmosphere. Prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be back for breakfast again in the near future. They have a very “everyone is family” kind of vibe and we loved it.

I don’t often rave about restaurants, but this one deserves a shout out. We went there to see a band we follow—Melic Acoustic— And not only was the music and atmosphere perfect for a Friday date night, but the food was surprisingly next level. We were expecting ordinary American pub food but the menu and the specials were creative and varied. Everything was fresh and flavorful and I might add generous. The servers were wonderful and attentive, the London Mules were just perfect. Even though it’s a trek to get there from where we live, we’re going to make a point to go back. Highly recommend.

Great little spot with amazing staff and delicious food. Watching the airplanes land and take off is a plus. Tried this tuna melt with sweet potato fries, avocado toast, breakfast bowl, and the Aviator. Their sweet potato fries were one of the best we had in a long time. We will definitely be back.

Paula’s Cafe is hands down the best café in the Hudson Valley. It’s a charming, cozy spot where you immediately feel at home. Paula and her team welcome you with genuine warmth, joy, and care—and you can feel that love in every bite. The food is absolutely delicious, made with real passion. This place is truly a hidden gem. My wife and I will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you, Paula—God bless!

Wonderful find. It’s a great place. Small, unassuming, wonderful staff, with the best brunch I’ve had in a long time. The BLT with avocado, spicy aioli and a side of sweet potato fries was perfection. The pancakes with bacon were good too. And there were high praises as well for the cheese omelet with hash browns. Great food, friendly attentive staff, and good prices. Will definitely go again.

We had a breakfast sandwich, coffee, and fresh fruit here that tasted quite good, The service was also good although one time we came on a weekend and weren’t even acknowledged, most likely because they were full. My only complaint is the atmosphere. There really isn’t a great view compared to the Wingdale Cafe (which is also on a runway). Wingdale Cafe also has outdoor seating whereas Paula’s does not. In addition, the inside of Paula’s looks like it needs a refresh. Atmosphere is fine, but definitely nothing special.

Went to listen to the group Melic. Enjoyed the music, it’s a small restaurant so it was a little loud but would still go again. Food was outstanding!!!

We had know idea what to expect. The location is great and very accessible. The dining area and bar are quaint and very relaxing. The service is excellent and there is a full bar with draft beer. The menu is very diverse for all. The food was excellent we had seared cod with rice and fresh broccoli, and, shrimp scallops with risotto both were magnificent. Again we went seafood but there are many other choices. We had 2 draft beers also. We must have went by Paula’s hundreds of times I wished I had stopped earlier. We will be back stop and try it you might be surprised.
