50 Best Cafes near Palisades

“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!“

“Great coffee, great pastries, great man. Sam is the nicest man there is. He invited me to come eat in his own home. His wife's homemade pastries are the best!“

“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 ⭐️“

“I read their amazing reviews, I had to add me 2 cents. Definitely try their French toast. Brings back my memories of being a kid, and filling as f...... Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner!!!“

“Had a book club meet up with my friends and we definitely enjoyed ourselves. The music was nice but not too loud. The drinks were great, I ordered the milo latter with coffee and was delicious. I want to go back to try the coquito latte! I also had a arepa de yuca with cheese on top it was so good! The staff is awesome! Definitely coming back!“

“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.“

“support the bzrrio by supporting the local businesses and not the Stsrbuck types“

“Been wanting to try this place out and so glad I finally did with my husband and son! Didn’t disappoint at all! Biscoff iced latte was delicious as well as the Haven Staple! Such a nice relaxing atmosphere, my 3 year old loved the vanilla Frappe!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“The absolute best raw vegan food!!“

“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.“

“5 ⭐️ cafe. Everything was delicious. Service top notch! Can’t wait to go back 😋🤤“

“My visits are few and far between, because I don't drive. But everything I go, I'm with someone who has never been there, and they are always impressed by the massive selection, the taste, and the freshness. Gourmet express never disappoints. This time they had vegan carrot cake loaf, foccaicia, and olive bread loaf. I bought them all!!😊“

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

“A really great place to get something to eat and. The staff is lovely too. Had pasta fagioli soup recently which was delicious! It was a really nice day so sat outside (there's a few tables). Before leaving decided to get a few sweet treats which despite being a little pricey were so good and definitely worth it :).“

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

“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.“

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

“I absolutely loved this spot! I tried the brown sugar latte milk tea drink and it was amazing—perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and just the right kick. You can really tell they put effort into their drinks. The texture of the boba was on point too—chewy and fresh. Definitely coming back for another day soon!“

“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.“

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

“I’m a WFH girly & I’m always looking for cafes to work at. The atmosphere was nice - pretty spacious & cozy. The music was nice & not too loud. I had a cappuccino with almond milk & cinnamon on the top. It was so good & loved the presentation. I’ll be back - looking fwd to trying some food options.“

“The fresh flowers, decor, and attention to detail make this an inviting and cozy cafe. The food can be a bit inconsistent, but mostly fresh and delicious. One of the owners is very friendly, and the staff is accommodating and pleasant. The one drawback is the noise. When the place fills up (which it does regularly), the combination of music and surrounding chatter can make it difficult to carry on a conversation. Today was particularly challenging. Either the volume or the type of music made it difficult to hear one another. One of the owners was near my table, so I motioned to her. After a bit, she did come by, but seemed a bit harried. I apologized that our hearing wasn’t what it used to be, and we were having a hard time conversing with the music being as loud as it was. She responded that the volume was at the level it usually is. I guess she realized she was being somewhat dismissive, so she said she’d see what she could do. As far as we could tell, nothing much changed, but we moved a little closer to one another, spoke a little louder, and enjoyed our coffee and breakfast!“

“great place to have a breakfast and dinner“

“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.“

“Chef Geoff is the real deal. not only is everything delicious, hot plates, pastries, salads, and of course top shelf coffee. not only is it prepared perfectly, you can taste the love in every bite.“

“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.“

“Great stop after you get of the train in Tarry town!

Coffee is great! Very nice Lattes!

The service is attentive and fast!

I always stop by when I come to work in Tarry town. Very nice place to decompose before and after a work shift.“

“Delicious and much larger portion sizes than expected! :) Our server Randy was also very kind and friendly. We ordered the Pat Chicken, The Pasternack, cole slaw, and a blueberry smoothie. Highly recommend the secret sauce for those who enjoy a spicier sandwich. I saw another review about space, and I think the booths are perfect for two but may be a bit tight for groups of 3+.“

“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“

“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!“

“My family and I went there and had a great experience! The staff were so accommodating and our drinks and snacks were delicious! We ordered the dirty chai and hot chocolate and they were both amazing! The music was great too. Some of the best coffee drinks we have had in a long time. We will DEFINITELY be going there!!!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“This deli functions and operates beautifully 😍 I love coming in here the employees are great from the deli guys to the counter guys THEY ARE ALL GREAT,NICE SERVICES AND NICE EXPERIENCE...“

“So happy to have Jack’s Cafe back! We went this morning and I had their famous corned beef hash! I can’t tell you how much I missed it! So glad to have you back in the area!“
