Barryville General now in soft-open mode with its new market and cafe on Avenue A

Barryville General has begun its soft opening at 70 Avenue A, ahead of its official debut on Oct. 16. 

The market, which expanded into the storefront next to its existing Barryville General shop between Fourth Street and Fifth Street, is starting with a limited selection of food, drinks and pantry items. (Below from left, co-owner and EV resident Sean Naughton with co-founder Eric Komovoff.)
The opening lineup includes coffee from Café Aroma, baked goods from Party Bus and dairy-free soft serve from Lavender and Truffles, available on Fridays for now. 

During the soft-opening period, the market will generally be open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Once the market officially opens, regular hours are expected to be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. 

The coffee menu includes $3 espressos, plus a café bonbon, cortado, house latte, and a sweet plantain latte made with housemade plantain syrup. The owners also plan occasional extended evening hours featuring soft serve — and potentially a late-night sourdough grilled cheese.
