50 Best Cafes near Elmsford

“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.“

“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.“

“The absolute best raw vegan food!!“

“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.“

“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 ⭐️“

“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.“

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

“My husband and I have been coming here for years. Service is truly wonderful and the food is very good. They make you feel like family1 RECOMMENDED!!“

“La Promenade is awesome , food is amazing staff very helpful“

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing shop and staff! A great addition to the community!“

“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.“

“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!“

“My party of four dined at Pelican Room, and overall, we had a really good experience. Our waiter was outstanding, and the rest of the staff was friendly and attentive.

I ordered two daiquiris, but I’m fairly certain they were actually margaritas. No complaints from me, though, because I love a good margarita! The casual food items were the real standouts. The pizza and burgers were amazing, and everyone in our group really enjoyed them. We also decided to take a chance on the $50 steak, but unfortunately, that was the one disappointment of the meal. My husband is a big steak guy, and he didn’t feel it lived up to the price or the description on the menu. Aside from the steak, we really enjoyed our visit. Great service, great staff, and some really delicious food. I’d definitely return, especially for the pizza and burgers!“

“What a cute place for lunch. My daughter and I had lunch after visiting a local POI. We both enjoyed our meals at an outside table. If I'm in the area again, I'd definitely go back. They have a lunch and breakfast menu and for a Monday, there were plenty of people going in and out - a sign that it's a great spot with locals.“

“My husband and I have visited Dante's Lattes a few times now. Collectively we've tried the Tiramusi Iced Latte, Cinnamon Bun Cold Foam Latte, the Matcha de Chinola, and the Tres Leche Latte. My ultimate favorite has been the Tiramusi Iced Latte. I like that this coffee shop has a punch card and eventually you are eligible to get a free drink. It's a great incentive for frequent visitors.“

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

“They have bubble tea and a great variety of drinks to choose from. The selection is as good as, if not better than, other places, and the prices are surprisingly affordable—most drinks are around $5 and up. Definitely a good value!“

“What a great spot to eat. Delicious food and courteous staff. 👍“

“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.“

“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!“

“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‼️“

“I got a caramel latte with crema on top. Drink wasn't too sweet and the crema is unique and delicious, better than cold foam in my opinion. It is expensive, one drink came out to almost $10, and I would prefer less crema as it is quite thick. I would definitely come back when in the area.

Workers are always nice!“

“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!“

“Been here a few times now.
Not much in this area.. So this becomes the go to. Lots of pastries. Tried several of them and have not been disappointed. German chocolate cup cake, pecan topping perfectly sweet.
Sausage sandwich on biscuit, bacon egg on biscuit, both a little greasy.. Think it's the cheese.. But delicious. BLT was good. Don't think you can go wrong, was all good.
No begals here. Scones! They are yummy!
Just a group of tables to sit at... Never had a problem finding a spot with party of 2 or 3.“

“This was my first time at this lovely new cafe in Larchmont! Excellent food, wide selection, great family-friendly laid back Brooklyn meets upstate vibe. Very sweet upbeat lady Ashton at the cash register. Cute little shop inside filled with gourmet healthy food options and little household trinkets. Had the chicken sandwich and the white smoothie (added peanut butter, no problem!), both were delicious. Love the booths. Also has a high top bar where one can eat or do some work. Will def be back!! What a wonderful addition to Larchmont!“

“Great atmosphere with tons of space. Super welcoming and laid back you can casually pop in without feeling any pressure. The hot dog hit the spot, but the tea options were a bit lacking. It’d be awesome if they expanded their food and beverage menu. Sitting inside while it rained was super cozy, and taking in the view right after the rain stopped was the cherry on top. Definitely a place I’ll be returning to!“

“I somehow only started frequenting Mimi’s and I’m definitely making up for lost time lol! Their panini of the day is always the best panini ever, iced coffee that hits the spot, soups that are healthy & hearty, ice cold ice tea with lemonade(not too sweet)… simply the best breakfast & lunch spot in Tappan!“

“The ice cream is really good especially the ice cream nachos!!!“

“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“

“I really love this place. With the layout and the business concepts just works you woke up and order your food they give you a number they deliver the food to your table. Where is high top seats at the window counter and there's a coffee bar counter you can also eat at. Variety of selection of excellent breakfast and lunch choices. You won't be disappointed. The owners working the cash register is also a super nice guy very friendly.“

“THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT!!“

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

“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!“

“I was here for brunch. Great food, excellent customer service, and a wonderful atmosphere! The staff was friendly and attentive, and the café had such a welcoming vibe. Everything made for a great experience. Definitely a spot I would recommend and visit again!“

“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.“

“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 !“

“Gone twice. What more can you want from a diner. Love sitting at the stools and seeing the chefs work. High quality, great black coffee, great value. Love their sweet potato pancakes and corned beef hash. They have a great menu with classics done right. Love the sauces too! Homemade hot sauce, mustard, and remoulade(?) fantastic fantastic. And it’s great to walk around Scarsdale after :)“

“Fantastic, good quality gf options! Lovely store front with both amazing gluten free options (scones, cookies, bread, sandwich’s, and other goodies!) and a cafe with coffees, teas, matcha). I always look forward to visiting.“

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

“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!! ❤️“

“Great food great staff I never had a problem with the food or service All the times I went TNT luncheonette this place is awesome!!!!“

“Probably the best coffee I have ever had!! Beautiful space, lovely atmosphere, and such friendly faces!“

“The food is fresh and delicious. I’ve never had a bad meal. The staff is very pleasant and accommodating.“

“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!“

“Great food 😋 and good service“

“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.“
