Friday night we are going South African.

On 6/19, 5–9pm, we’re pouring with our dear friend Zaan Eksteen Zaan Eksteen National Sales Manager at Canopy Wine Selections, Canopy Wine Selections born and raised in South Africa, and the man who’s spent fifteen years bringing its wines to New York.

Expect a lineup of beautiful bottles, the stories of the soil and slopes behind them, and a spread of Mutsi favorites to nosh on while you sip. Zaan knows this terroir the way you know your own backyard, so come thirsty and a little curious.

One more thing: Zaan and Nicole go way back!!! From our NYC days both hustling, hosting and drinking our way around the city. Swipe to the last slide for proof (yes, that’s a younger us - lil babies).

Wild terroir, wonderful wine, and very good company. Don’t miss this one.

“What got you here won’t get you there.”

My brother said that to me years ago. I don’t even know if he remembers saying it, but I’ve carried it with me ever since.
Lately, I find myself coming back to it often.

There are seasons of life where you’re building something.. working long days, saying yes to opportunities, learning as you go, figuring things out with equal parts confidence and blind faith. You pour yourself into people, projects, businesses, relationships, dreams. And eventually, if you’re lucky, you look around and realize those efforts have taken you somewhere.

But then comes the next lesson: you can’t stay there.
The thing that helped you start isn’t always the thing that helps you grow. The habits, routines, beliefs, even the version of yourself that got you here may need to shift to get you where you’re headed next.

My brother has another saying: there’s no good news and there’s no bad news. There’s just news.

A catering inquiry falls through. News.
An unexpected opportunity appears. News.
A plan changes. News.
A challenge shows up on a Tuesday when you already have too much on your plate. News.

The meaning comes later. The meaning comes from what you do with it.

Running a business, building a community, welcoming guests into a space you care deeply about.. none of it has taught me certainty. If anything, it’s taught me the opposite. Every week brings a new update. A new variable. A new reason to pivot, adjust, rethink, or recommit.

And honestly, that’s where the beauty is.

The loaf doesn’t always rise the way you expected. The room fills with strangers who leave as friends. The plan changes. The season changes. You change.

Not because something is wrong, but because growth requires movement.

I’ve stopped trying to make life stand still long enough for me to feel ready. Instead, I’m learning to trust the update. To take the information, make the next decision, and keep moving forward.

Because the goal was never to become someone who avoids change.

The goal is to become someone who can dance with it.

Welcome to Mutsi.

PIES & PIES & THIGHS

A celebration of butter, pie dough, and questionable restraint.
Your favorite Catskills baking broads, and , are teaming up for a playful, flirty night in the kitchen at Cafe Mutsi, doling out dishes built around the lush bounty of early summer.

We’ve got flaky pie dough. We’ve got hot buns 😉.

There will be pies, both sweet and savory. There will be thighs (of the chicken variety). There will be a crunchy girlie green garlic goddess situation. Galettes. Buns. Bourbon.
If your mouth isn’t watering yet, there may be something wrong with you.

Come join the party. The tunes will be bumping, the patio will be in full swing, and we’ll be pouring specialty Strawberry Rhubarb Spritzes all evening long. A sunny Saturday, a spritz in hand, and a table full of piezz.. who in the bejeezus can say no to that?

Saturday, June 13th
5–9 PM

This one’s going to be wildly fun, and you’re not going to want to miss it.

Tick tock.. It’s Martini o’clock.

There’s a quiet kind of care that goes into cafe life.

Thought tucked into every decision, every detail. So much love and quality is folded into each pastry, each sandwich, each plate that leaves our kitchen.. it only felt right to find a way to hold and present them with the same intention.
We’re still only scratching the surface of all the stories woven into this place. Still dipping our toes into what Mutsi can become and how deeply we can share it.

With the help of our incredibly talented local designers, and , we created custom pastry papers through inspired by the beauty of a loaf of bread itself. They sat with me, combed through old recipes, took a loaf home, studied its texture and form, and somehow translated that feeling into print.
Seeing our pastries and sandwiches wrapped in these papers feels like another small extension of care. Another layer of the story.

And thank you to for capturing these beauties in action so perfectly.

☀️ MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND AT MUTSI ☀️

Anyone else smell summer peaking in the air?! Are we READY?!

Sunshine so good you accidentally stayed outside too long… maybe dozed off listening to the birds chirp… maybe slightly toasted your buns in the process? …Just us?!

I took my first dip in my lil pond this week, still shockingly cold, climbing through thorny things while frogs launched themselves dramatically away from me.. but it felt special. One of those moments that somehow connects you back to being little again.

Meanwhile at the cafe…
WE’VE GOT ESPRESSOOOOO AGAIN!!! 🙌

We’re prepping away for a beautiful weekend: fresh breads, buns, watermelon juice, and all your Mutsi favorites. Swing by for a loaf of bread, a jar of duck rillettes, some fancy French butter with the flaky salt 😊 the kind that deserves a picnic by your favorite watering hole.

And in the evenings, we’re keeping some spectacular specials rolling from last weekend:
✨ Spanakopita
✨ Blistered Omra
✨ Schnitzel
✨ Deviled Eggs
✨ plus your beloved Mutsi staples

Come linger on the patio with a bottle of wine and watch the sun melt into sunset.

And GOOD NEWS — we’ll be OPEN MONDAY!

🌼 MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND HOURS 🌼
Thursday–Monday // 9am–2pm
Friday & Saturday Dinner // 5pm–9pm

Here’s to sunshine, slow moments, good food, cold pond dips, and a beautiful long weekend together.

See you here, friends 💛
