Coffee Lovers

The story of the Mudd Puddle is a story for coffee lovers. It's also a story of love. Michelle Walsh, a 15 year coffee drinking veteran, shared her dream of the Mudd Puddle with her now husband, James Walsh. It soon became their dream. To Michelle's love of fresh roasted coffee James added a penchant for fine cuisine. Their love of coffee, food and community bore the Mudd Puddle in January 2002.

Central to the New Paltz Community, the Mudd Puddle offers live music, open mic nights, poetry nights, and other special events.
