“Healthy & Dyckman is a great little café in the Bronx where you can get fresh, flavorful food at a reasonable price. Everything is made to order, so just be sure to order ahead or come with a little patience—there’s usually one person at the counter and one in the back preparing the food.

They offer both vegan and non-vegan options, so there’s something for everyone. Definitely a solid neighborhood spot worth checking out.“

“Today we stopped by GiGi’s Cafe and had the Greek Toast and an Americano, while my wife enjoyed the Classic Toast and an Americano. Everything was absolutely delicious.

The cafe itself is beautifully decorated with flowers, creating such a warm and peaceful atmosphere. We also had the privilege of hearing the owner’s family story. Although it began with sadness, they chose hope, love, and resilience, turning it into something truly beautiful and inspiring.

As their sign says, “You come in as a guest, but you leave as family.” That’s exactly how we felt. We walked in as customers, but we left feeling like family.

Thank you for the wonderful food, the beautiful space, and most of all, your inspiring story. We can’t wait to come back. - Peter and Julie“

“Wow! Heard great things about Double Bubble and finally was able to make it there today! The window and the fun floaties outside got all four of our kids so excited! The interior was so fun! Little and big rubber ducks everywhere, fun seats that looked like desserts for kids to sit on, some table top games...and of course we were greeted by the owner himself, Tony! We ordered the bubble waffles with ice cream and toppings, brownies and adults had lattes and probably the best espresso I ever had....BROWN SUGAR SHAKEN ESPRESSO (I asked for almond milk). I don't normally like sugar in my coffee, but this was absolutely the best espresso I honestly ever had. It was such a kid and family friendly spot and the perfect ending to our lunch!

I can safely say, we are absolutely going back and bringing more friends. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely delicious food. From pancakes to salmon. Wonderful desserts banana pudding ,cup cakes , and the best chocolate chip cookies! Warm and friendly atmosphere, delicous food and friendly people !“

“If you're looking for a great local coffee shop, this is the place! The coffee is always fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing. What really makes this place special is the owner. He is incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about every customer who walks through the door. You can tell he puts his heart into the business and goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome.
It's the kind of small business that deserves to thrive. If you're in the area, stop by, grab a coffee, and support an owner who truly appreciates his customers. Highly recommended!“

“If you love great food and drink and friendly atmosphere this is you're place. I travel 28 miles to come here. It's my home sweet home. I don't go anywhere else from the comfortable seating and the nicely cooled lounge and a place outside if you're a smoker. Wide assortment of coffees and teas and adults beverages. Come on down they are open everyday except Tuesday THE FOOD IS SUPERB.....“

“Great customer service. The people who work there are knowledgeable and they have the best stock of bikes around. At 5’1” no one ever has bikes in my size. Not only did Piermont have a bike, they had 4 for me to test. Sunny also told me the size I originally thought I needed was too big and his recommendation for the smaller frame was spot on. I ended up with a 44 cm Cannondale Evo and couldn’t be happier.“

“Lifelong Palisades resident, and have loved the 9W Market/The Filling Station since it opened back in 2011! A HUGE improvement over the previous ownership when it was called the Palisades Market which opened in the spring of 2010 and was only open for a few months and then closed. I was so disappointed with the Palisades Market because it lacked a decent food selection and this community needed something so much more. Luckily, the owners of the 9W Market have done such an amazing job! I’ve never had a bad meal here! The ingredients are high quality and super fresh! The atmosphere and ambiance is very relaxing and tranquil! Love the bistro theme on the indoor side and picnic theme by the filling station burger stand. Not to mention, the burgers are the best I’ve ever had! Made with high quality grass fed beef! This is gourmet nyc restaurant style food right in our local neighborhood! Keep up the great work!“

“Fantastic! Met the owner. Very cool. They are expanding and offering full breakfast lunch. Check it out.“

“We just moved to the neighborhood and decided to try a new spot. We were not disappointed. Not only were they the nicest people when my husband went to pick up the food but the food was super delicious. Completely homemade and tasty and warm. When I don’t feel like cooking I know where we are going. Thank you Congers Diner!“

“Just tried the emenadas (pollo, beef, queso). They were excellent. Will be back for more food.“

“A huge variety coffee,and tea Awsome! its exactly what we needed in the area.“

“Boxer Donut is a charming, small coffee shop located just off Main Street that packs a big punch in quality and flavor. Despite its modest size, this spot stands out for its excellent lattes and freshly made donuts. The coffee is rich and carefully crafted, with a smooth texture that makes each latte a delight—perfect for anyone who appreciates a well-made cup of coffee. Equally, the donuts crafted on-site offer a unique twist, reflecting the care and creativity behind every treat.

The ambiance inside Boxer Donut is relaxed and inviting, making it an ideal destination whether you’re looking for a quiet moment to enjoy your coffee or a friendly meeting spot. With its convenient location near Main Street, the coffee shop is an accessible gem for local residents and visitors alike. The efficient service further enhances the overall experience.“

“See ya Sook! Bourbon Street Beignet is now my favorite local pastry shop. Born in New Orleans (Charity Hospital-1952) and lived in Paris for a few years as a teenager. Jules does a great job with all his pastries. The beignets were warm, fresh and tasty and on par with Cafe du Monde in NOLA. Will be coming here again.......soon!“

“Cappuccino & service is amazing.“

“I’m glad my daughter found this place, now I’m addicted to bubble drinks!! And the bubble waffle is awesome!!!!“

“Hands down the best refreshers, ice cream, and pastries ever! I love visiting this cafe to edit my photos while sipping on their delicious Damascato. A must visit if you're in the area.😍“

“Went here with a party of 8 plus our toddler and they were so accommodating. Cory made sure every dish was cooked exactly how we wanted it, kept checking on our table the whole time, cleaned everything up, and was just super kind. The organic seasonal food was really good and the place has such a nice, relaxed vibe next to the Waldorf school. Felt like we were well taken care of the entire visit. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“We've had a frankly difficult few months and decided to treat ourselves to a proper night out and this place ended up being exactly what we needed. From the moment we walked in we felt looked after. The host greeted us warmly, our table was lovely, and the whole atmosphere just put us at ease. Our server picked up immediately on the kind of pace we wanted — slow, relaxed, no rush — and matched it perfectly throughout the evening. She made a couple of recommendations that turned out to be brilliant and never once made us feel hurried through any of the courses. The food was the kind that genuinely lifts your mood. Proper flavours, generous portions, beautifully presented but not so fussy that you can't just dive in. We shared a starter, had a main each, and finished with a dessert we absolutely shouldn't have had room for but somehow found space. Every plate was a winner. The wine was poured with proper care and the bill came at exactly the right moment, not before, not too long after. It was honest and very fair for the experience. We left feeling properly restored. A genuine pleasure of a place.“

“Stopped by Blue Ridge Cafe and was pleasantly surprised! I didn’t realize it was a Greek cafe OR that they served Greek treats and everything we tried was delicious. The spinach pie is absolutely to die for—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The food, atmosphere, and service were all wonderful. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu!“

“Tasty food, great art, wonderful proprietor! 😁“

“Just Perfect“

“Every savory dish I’ve had has been amazing“

“Great coffee, the older lady who is usually there is very friendly and welcoming. A barista was there that I’ve never seen before and maybe it was a language barrier but I think not she was rude. I said bless you after she sneezed no acknowledgement when she gave me my coffee I said thank you once again just turned her back no acknowledgement. Could’ve been a language barrier or me not being Korean“

“great new coffee shop! The staff is super nice the younger woman and the older woman always have a smile on their faces, which makes the place feel really welcoming. The service is fast and friendly, and the whole shop has a clean, modern vibe. Definitely a great spot to grab coffee and relax in paterson“

“Great music and hookah. They put a lot of work into this place to make it comfortable and such a vibe. Definitely a place I’ll keep going to on weekends with friends. Weekdays are more chill, I go sometimes to just relax and have a hookah while listening to good music and being in a cool atmosphere. The ambiance is everything and comfortable couches.“

“When I stepped inside the look and feel of the place really impressed me. The air-conditioning was cool but not to much. Service was quick and considerate. Plenty of seating, digital and physical menus. Lots of outlets with usb A and USB C ports. This place was just a great time we'll be going back. Having a park lot was a nice bonus.“
