50 Best Cafes near Elmsford

“We hosted an intimate wedding celebration in the elegant party room at Jean-Jacques. It was a joy to work with Donna Sullivan, who handles functions. She provided us with expert guidance in choosing the menu and every other detail. The room looked gorgeous, the food was exquisite and our guests were well cared for by Donna and the other servers. We received so many compliments from the attendees who remarked that they had a wonderful time and that the food was delicious. The bride and groom, and all of their friends and family, enjoyed themselves immensely and were able to meet, connect and have conversation in an elegant atmosphere. The party room is indeed a hidden gem at this premiere bakery and cafe in Pleasantville. My husband and I are not from the area and had never been to Jean-Jacques, but I contacted Jean-Jacques at the recommendation of a family member and couldn’t have been more pleased. It was exactly what we wanted. We had ample room for 40 guests and a jazz piano player. From the appetizers, Bellinis, Prosecco, wine and other beverages, to the sumptuous gourmet buffet dinner to the most delicious celebratory cake, everything was PERFECT. I say this as someone who has organized many events professionally over the decades. Donna Sullivan and Jean-Jacques are top notch.“

“I love harpoon Hanna’s. It’s a gem and now new Rochelle now has the best coffee caffe. The iced coffees are amazing. The owner kim and all her staff are so wonderful. Like being at home. It’s a beautiful atmospheric joy. New Rochelle new yummy treasure. A million stars ⭐️“

“Everything I’ve ever gotten here is delicious, but the green goddess dressing I picked up today? AMAZING. I don’t know what they put in this stuff, but it’s worth every penny. I put it on every component of our dinner tonight — chicken, broccoli, roasted potatoes — and it’s perfection.“

“First time having a latte what a great find! Cute place to grab a cup of Joe and hop on the train. Will be back!!“

“I would rather swallow poison than anyone else's cappuccino. Best coffee, vibe of any cafe in Westchester. Staff is super cool and I love the music they play. I am not cool but I feel cool when I'm in there.“

“Absolutely warm and welcoming! The owner is delightful and I am in love with her mission. This is the type of place that feels like home…. Plus the rescue dog Bear! Are you kidding me? I’m in heaven. And the great coffee is just icing this perfect piece of cake!“

“I had the pleasure to enjoy the food here at Toastique. The food was delicious, I tried the Spicy crab toast, it was the best tasty presentation of real crab meat with fine vegetables. The juices are healthy mixes of real fresh fruit. I tried the spicy Margarita, super tasty drink! The place is nicely updated, modern look, service was excellent, friendly and very welcome environment! Great place to enjoy some time with friends or family.“

“Went here on a whim! And what a blessing it was! My daughter loves tea parties and the vibe here was so cozy and perfect for me and her! The food was so flavorful and nothing like I’ve had before!“

“We were in Tarrytown on vacation and stopped in. I love to pick up local goods to bring home and I was not disappointed. Patrons and staff were kind and efficient. The Witch’s Brew beans I brought home are wonderful, mild, and full of flavor. Can’t wait to break into the second bag of beans I bought.“

“Hands down the best restaurant in Westchester! This is a run, don’t walk, recommendation. From the moment you enter Cafe Deux, you’re transformed to another era. The owners, Carrie and Charlotte Denoyer, greet each customer with warmth as they accommodate every request—from seating, to craft cocktails, to gf/df/v options. With a chef who clearly “gets it”, each course feels so very special—as if prepared just for you! I’ve been visiting Cafe Deux since they’ve opened so picking my favorite dishes is near impossible, but…Breakfast-crustless farmers market quiche; Lunch- salad tuna nicoise; Dinner—mussels, the Deux wagyu burger, any fish special, and of course the fries, which take 48hrs to prepare). This place is perfection! Harrison sure is lucky to have them!“

“Great food my kids love going there. It’s really awesome and I support our local community too. Eat local, especially here.“

“The vibes are great, food is delicious. I honestly didn’t expect such a delicious French toast from a cafe, probably one of the best, perfectly cooked, caramelised light crunch. You don’t even need syrup or whip cream. Coffee is so good!“

“Had a great night and tasty meal at the Pelican Room and their speakeasy next door - Kalico lounge. Food was terrific, drinks were outstanding snd service top notch. Great vibe too. Felt like it could be in the city or Brooklyn.

Will definitely come back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere. Pretty good 🌭 and the ☕️ was great. 🚻 was clean as a whistle.

The park is making you pay for parking now even during winter. I don't know if that's new or not. Further south (Fort Lee/Alpine) it's still free for the winter time.“

“Love this coffee shop/bakery in this converted old train ticket /waiting station. Their are still some announcements as trains pull in. Noticed some people working on their laptops. saw some families. Parking is a little tough and you have to pay metered parking via an app or coins. Once inside it is totally worth it. I highly recommend this place.“

“THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT!!“

“We placed an order for delivery through GrubHub for a corporate lunch for 8 people. Sam was great in helping us plan ahead, accommodate dietary restrictions, and ensure everything went smoothly. Everyone was really impressed with the healthy, delicious food!“

“I’ve been coming to this cozy spot since I was in high school and now as a 26 year old, I still love coming here with friends 🤍 the staff is super friendly and attentive. The vibes are calm and it’s just an overall great place with delicious sandwiches and smoothies. It’s certainly a gem here in New Ro“

“Delicious Caesar salad, chicken pot pie (and chocolate donut). Coffee was really good too.“

“Parkway cafe is a lovely lovely spot for a good lunch or breakfast meal. Their home fries are absolutely delicious and I highly suggest the avocado omelette as something to order there. It’s a lovely spot and a family owned establishment that serves the Scarsdale community with some of the most delicious food I’ve ever eaten. I could not ask for a better restaurant in my community. I wish they were open for dinner sometimes but I respect why they aren’t.“

“Nice breakfast place. Lots of counter help when placing your order. Very large menu filled with delicious choices. Pour your own coffee, find a table and wait for your food to be brought to you. Everything served fresh and hot. Scones were a nice nosh while waiting. Place is noisy but not too loud. Indoor and outdoor seating available. One bathroom. We liked the place. ♿️“

“Great food, great staff, great atmosphere! I love this place! Highly recommended!! ♥️“

“I loved my experience today. Merry Christmas! The friendly staff to start. I ordered the French Onion Soup which was absolutely delicious. The bread 🥖 was really great too!! ❤️“

“They say never judge a book by its cover, well that couldn’t be more true for Lou’s Wagon (hot dog truck). On the surface, it’s a really small white box-truck that doesn’t appear to offer much. Rest assure, that is not the case. The food and service here was great. The two hotdogs with chili, cheese and cooked onions that I purchased were very tasty. The chili had just the right consistency and the cheese actually tasted like cheese. The bread wasn’t stale and the dogs didn’t taste like they’ve been sitting in boiled water for a week. The food was fresh. The lady running the hot dog truck was extremely welcoming, quick and courteous. For anyone looking for a quick bite and tasty hot dogs at a very affordable price compared to other food trucks I’ve stopped at, this spot is a winner. They also offer hot sausage, Dr. Browns soda, chips and cookies. The food spot is perfectly located right at the corner of an intersection just off 9A and Croton Dam Rd. Give them a try. You won’t regret it!“

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

“So nice to see Pamplemousse supporting Special Needs individuals. I asked the cashier how she liked working here, she said it was nice and fun!“

“Just be mindful that the restaurant is located inside the golf academy, once you enter the building the entrance is on your left.Overall had an amazing experience, they will give you an extraordinary service and treat you like a valued customer at all time. All the dishes are delicious, yet low sodium, fresh ingredients. They have a seasonal menu and it's the best to follow what the owner suggest. They usually have very traditional, healthy dishes.“

“Good Italian bake goods, gelato, and coffee.“

“What a gem! So happy to of discovered this cafe on our way out of town! Ryan was incredibly helpful and gave us great customer service! Food was amazing and the coffee was great! Will definitely be back the next time we are in town!“

“We drove up to Yonkers to shop at HMart and found this bakery inside the store. It is a takeout only location as there is no seating. Very nice selection of items and we bought a couple to take home. Will eat later.
The store is right on Central Park Ave long with lots of other shopping
options. We will definitely stop in again.“

“The customer service here was superb . I had the medium rare done steak with mashed potatoes & broccoli which I would highly recommend. The broccoli was well season & carried hints of the dressing & steak; giving the whole meal an amazing omami palette“

“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.“

“Susan Lawrence planned and caterered a wedding at my home. Laura, the party planner, met with us beforehand and worked with us to plan an outstanding wedding. It was a “perfect night” that we shared with friends and family. All of the food was of fine restaurant quality and the staff was courteous and professioinal. I recommend them without any reservations! Thank you to Susan Lawrence Catering‼️“

“A lovely and friendly place with delicious pastries and home made French Crepes. It was a pleasure to come and exchange with owner Pierre-Yves. Undoubtedly a place to come !“

“AMAZING!! Waffle Box was so nice, helpful, and accommodating during the whole planning process. They helped us kick off our wedding weekend with all of our guests that traveled the night before the wedding. Our guests absolutely loved the waffles and the experience! We all had a great time and the waffles were delicious! They were even able to accommodate for our gluten free guests!! Highly recommend!“

“Nestled in the heart of Closter, Café Mia is a cool spot where you can score awesome Korean snacks and amazing sandwiches. They've got my favorite fresh BLTE(gg)A(vocado) sandwiches to Korean rice roll 'Kimbop' that'll make your taste buds do a happy dance. Plus, Mia, the owner, is super nice, and the staff are always friendly. So if you're ever in the mood for practicing some balls and good eats in a laid-back atmosphere, Café Mia is where it's at.“

“I have been coming to Prime Time since I was a child and it never disappoints. Even though I no longer live in the area, any chance I get when I’m back in town I always get a pie to bring home for the freezer. This is simply the best pizza in town. It’s always fresh and delicious.“

“Love this place! This is my go-to spot for lunch with friends and family. I highly recommend the grilled peach ricotta toast, the hot honey chicken sandwich, the everything pigs in a blanket, the crispy brussels sprouts and any of the smoothies. YUM!

The moss wall art is STUNNING!

Staff is very friendly.

The whole restaurant and bar area is really beautiful. Wish they’d bring back dinner and happy hour so I could go more often with my husband and daughter. But happy to continue to visit for lunch until then :)“

“This is not just a sugar bomb tea cafe. I tried the Thai hot tea no bubble things and it was pleasantly not sweet but tasty. Service is a bit of a wait but it’s pleasant. Children seem to really like the teas here. You should try it. And if you are looking for adult beverages there is a nice wine/liquor store across the street. Parking is nearby and convenient and inexpensive.“

“My favorite everyday coffee is an extra large iced coffee. The owner John knows you by your name and gives exceptional customer service. John also has great taste and knowledge in Music and is always playing interesting music.. I give Sunshine Coffee Roasters a 6 out 5 stars!“

“This cafe at White Plains Hospital has the most delicious and healthy items! Friends staff and a nice bright seating area make it a great choice for a quick bite. Try the cappuccino!“

“Comforting meals for times of crisis.

Vegetarian options: On demand room temperature vegetarian option available.

Dietary restrictions: Meat free options.

Kid-friendliness: Kids under 18 welcome.

Wheelchair accessibility: Roll on / Roll off service available.“

“I order from this place frequently on seamless when I can’t be bothered to make dinner. The food is decent quality , you get what you ordered, and tends to come with salad or fruit which is fresh and good. I can’t speak to the restaurant location itself as we only get takeout , but unlike other takeout from around white plains, Ams Cafe is dependable and good for a solid meal.“
