“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!!“

“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!“

“Mathew helped me try a new bean, Bari, and WHAT a great brew!! I’d forgotten the pleasure of freshly ground, GOOD coffee can bring!! ***Hot Tip*** Grab a slice of homemade cake, a scones and/or a muffin! ❤️“

“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 live in Maine. It takes me precisely 7h 47m to drive to Its Coffee, but I make the trip every. single. year. Occasionally I'll stop in to see a special friend and take her to my favorite coffee spot, but really, I come for Its Coffee.“

“Ramona is a gracious hostess. The chef adeptly prepares delicious food. The frittata was divine. Choose specialties from the Breakfast or Lunch Menu. Stop by for your gourmet comestibles!“

“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.“

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!“

“Got the sausage and cheese on ciabatta & cappuccino. Ciabatta was very soft and the sandwich had a good amount of sausage and egg. There are a lot of baked goods and it's next to the MNR station. So it's a good spot for eating & train spotting“

“Nice little Cafe for breakfast or lunch. Self service counter with limited seating. Coffee is fantastic and they do have gluten free bread for toast to go with omelets or to make sandwiches. I would be careful if you're very sensitive as I'm not sure about cross contamination.“

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

“This was an excellent experience overall. From when I first contacted to make reservations to the time I departed everything was above my expectations. We got to meet the Commodore and dock master both came out to help us settle in. The pool was perfect for cooling off and the food hit the spot.“

La comida y el servicio es muy bueno. Los trabajadores siempre amigables. Mi cosa favorita para comer es pan dulce con café.“

“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.“

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

“We Veterans had a great meal on 5/24/17. The food and the company were great. The Elks have always held us Veterans in high esteem. My Dad was Exalted Ruler at the old White Plains Lodge as well as a Trustee and I am a Life Memeber. When I was in the VA hospital, we always looked forward to the parties they put on. Peekskill NY deserves a big round applause. Thank you“

“The food is So So good! The Teas are exquisite! The atmosphere is so warm and charming! The owner is so humble and gracious! The staff is so kind and attentive! I visit Kathleen's Tea Room whenever I am in Peekskill. I Highly recommend this establishment!“

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 went last year with my kids to enjoy sleepy hollow fun October activities and we came across this amazing spot and the atmosphere was amazing, staff was really nice, great service. We went twice within the same day and back the following day to take stuff on the go and their cubano sandwich, delicious. Definitely visiting again this year.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We passed on our way from the airport to drop off our daughter at the WPntrain station. Allot of locals and it is apparent customers have been coming for years. They make atuff fresh, so there is a wait. Prices were reasonable, and we definitely got our money's worth. There are some apaces to sit outside under umbrellas, was too hot for that on that day though. Would go again!“

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

“Excellent food. Varied menu wonderful specials at reasonable prices. Many choices and great for vegetarians. Large portions - friendly staff. Tends to be most crowded on weekends and unfortunately noisy. You got to try this place worth the noise.“

“I had to write this review. The ceasar salad was the best that I’ve had in my life. I added tomatoes and cucumbers. Whoever made that salad is a legend. The croutons were amazingly super delicious. Everything was perfect: it was so delicious, so wanted to order a second one: The chicken was extremely tender, I never taste that type of chicken. Awesome dish!!!“

“Best coffee shop around! I go in every morning, and it’s incredible how quickly the line moves and how few words need to be exchanged in most cases, as the staff know every regular’s name and order by heart. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and are satisfied with your order. Highly recommend.“
