50 Best Cafes near Ossining

“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!“

“My daughter-in-law, Amy Sowder-van Erk, brought me here for my first Blue Heron experience, and personally, it met all expectations, and more! I had an excellently crafted cappuccino and decided to try the gluten-free almond cookies (come in a package of 4). For those of you who are gluten-free or gluten sensitive, you know how difficult it is to find that perfectly delicious, made with love, delicacy. These are out of this world and have a full almond taste and are wonderfully chewy. A highly recommended respite for anyone looking for that perfect spot to enjoy your coffee or tea, and dive into a delectably home made perfection.“

“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.“

“Nothing like It’s Coffee! Every time we aren’t around and I’m forced to get coffee somewhere else, nothing ever compares to It’s Coffee. My cappuccino is always made exactly the same unlike other coffee shops where it’s inconsistent. Nisi and Maddie are always so friendly and welcoming and know exactly what to make once I walk through the door. It’s the fuel for my soul…. Everyday!“

“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.“

“Kathleen’s Tea Room ambience transports you to an ethereal place in time! The lovely ladies there present you with a menu filled with culinary delights. My granddaughter and I selected the Princess. The three tiers were filled with delicious small sandwiches, fresh fruit and sinfully good desserts. The tea was one I had never tasted! Delicious! I recommend you frequent Kathleen’s often with friends and family. I’m already planning my next trip to taste their great sandwiches.“

“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 had food delivered this week. Everything was beyond expectation - food was delicious, portions were great and everything was packaged well. I love that heating instructions were included. We will be ordering again in the very near future.“

“Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing“

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

“I ordered for pick up, it’s absolutely delicious. It feels like being back in Puerto Rico and in the Bronx ❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere! Owners Drew & Ted are passionate about their restaurant, art gallery, jazz club and so am I!“

“Today was my first time trying the Acai bowl with bananas, strawberries, blueberries, granola and honey. it was so delicious and the fruit so was fresh, I'm definitely going back!“

“Quick friendly service, excellent coffee and breakfast wraps, charming space. My trail running club, Sunday Runs, came this morning and enjoyed it a lot. Will be back (if they'll have us). Thanks, Mimi's!“

“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.“

“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 !“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“this is my new favorite place. I wish I lived next door. it's like going to a friend's house who really know how to entertain. the food is from scratch and made with deep love. the coffee drinks are almost too beautiful to drink, but you'll be glad you did. The space is cozy and you'll always need someone interesting to talk to.“

“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!“

“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 place is a slice of heaven, simply the best place to dock your boat in Westchester. The owner is an awesome guy, he puts his heart into this place and it shows. Definitely giving this marina five stars, a great pit-stop, or place to park your boat for the summer. The docks and slips are newly renovated, making it a home run on the list of places to visit.“

“Worth It! Go to this cute place for breakfast/lunch. Are breakfast sandwich, bacon egg cheese on a bagel and so enjoyed the bacon! Coffee delicious and tasted chocolate cookie and chewy and perfect! It’s not easy to see the place but look across from entrance to spins in old warehouse!! A must for locals to frequent. All baked goods homemade.“

“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.“

“Great food 😋 and good service“

“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!“

“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!“

“Friendly staff, great music, delicious coffee. They’re happy to fill your reusable mug as well, which is always a plus. Coffee is great, but I wouldn’t recommend the matcha, it was overly sweet and not very strong. Nice ambiance especially when the fireplace is going. Good space to work or hang out with friends, but be aware that on the weekends it can get pretty packed with the cyclist crowd - though they’re very friendly, they take up a lot of seating!“

“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!“

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

“Silver Lake is a great cafe! The food, atmosphere, and service is outstanding, and the place is very clean and well kept every time I’ve been. I got the #3 which is a Smoked Turkey Hero, and it was super solid and filling. I highly recommend swapping the mayo with chipotle mayo — it was amazing and added a lot of flavor. Maybe even get some extra chipotle mayo on the side. I approve!“

“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 absolutely love this place! The food is amazing and the service is great. They employees are very friendly. My favorite thing to have is pan dulce and coffee! Me encanta este lugar! La comida y el servicio es muy bueno. Los trabajadores siempre amigables. Mi cosa favorita para comer es pan dulce con café.“

“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“

“What a great way to start my day. I’m in town visiting my Son and wanted some breakfast. Headed to AMS Cafe and I’ll tell you what…best decision I have made in some time. What looked like just an average eggs and potato selection on the menu…when it came out I was blown away. The flavors the presentation and everything about the place is amazing. Don’t get me going on the coffee. Next level. Finally…the atmosphere and people are obviously what make this place. Blown away.“

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

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

“Love this place. They have all European food and delicious home made byrek. Staff and owners are extremely nice.“

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

“I saw the rocky reviews on here so I was apprehensive but I was so pleased!
The house margs were perfect as well as my barria taquitos! The inside is absolutely adorable and rather large. Would be great for hosting a large lunch or event.“

“Great place to stop for some dessert!“

“The experience was great thanks to Jeff. I needed help finding a macallan lumina whiskey which is hard to find unless it was on a cruise or duty-free shop. The process was easy by calling in to see if they have it in stock and to order it. They packaged it nicely and had no problem picking it up a month after the purchase. Thank you again and I will be coming back to purchase another limited find.“
