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.“

“Today my family and I went to Cafe Haven and it was a great experience. We enjoyed how child friendly the environment was, the food was fresh and coffee was great. We would highly recommend Cafe Haven! Thanks to the team there for ensuring we had a great experience. God bless“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“This spot hit every time!!!! The chicken sandwich is AMAZING!! with a nice cold fresh pineapple juice. Got the Bori vibes! I dont usually leave reviews but I HAD TO !! Thank u for the amazing customer service you guys are all super friendly! When im in hackensack ill def stop here again!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. My juice was amazing and I topped it off with a veggie patty. I will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“The Pelican Room is relatively new, but they seemingly manage to bring a homely, inviting ambiance to your table. From the service to the food, everything was impeccable. I cannot recommend the truffle and gouda coquettes enough. Definitely looking forward to another visit soon.“

“Walked into the Cafe the vibe was very nice and cozy good environment if you want a chill breakfast or brunch, the girl who served at the front desk was very nice and the speed of the food was also not bad, would definitely come back during an autumn day to get that Halloween vibe“

“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.“

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

“The absolute best raw vegan food!!“

“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 !“

“Cappuccino & service is amazing.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“See ya Sook! Bourbon Street Beignet is now my favorite local pastry shop. Born in New Orleans (Charity Hospital-1952) and lived in Paris for a few years as a teenager. Jules does a great job with all his pastries. The beignets were warm, fresh and tasty and on par with Cafe du Monde in NOLA. Will be coming here again.......soon!“

“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!!😊“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Southern baker here. Take it from someone who knows biscuits, and get a scallion cheddar biscuit, perfect bake, flaky not crumbly. Honestly one of the best biscuits I’ve ever eaten!
Classic chocolate cupcake is great, buttercream needs a pinch salt in my opinion.
Carrot cake cupcake was a hit for the hubby with a perfect cream cheese icing.
If you’re an egg salad fan, grab a tub and a ciabatta roll for a quick sandwich!“

“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.“

“Love their coffee and the small time vibe where it is located. Great service and people that work there!“

“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“

“"Bites Cafe is a culinary gem that deserves every bit of praise! From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a cozy ambiance and greeted by friendly staff.

“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.“

“My wife and I come here on a weekly basis. It's our favorite place to visit. The coffee is superior to any other, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. Thank you for creating the perfect breakfast and lunch spot. We really enjoy coming.“

“THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT!!“

“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!“

“One of the best einspanners in Bergen County! Theres always a few people doing work or having conversations. The staff is friendly. If you’re looking for minimalistic and aesthetic vibe this is the place.

For someone with a sweet tooth, I enjoy the Lotus Biscoff Latte and Matcha einspanner ☺“

“Food was fantastic, everything homemade and service is great. Friendly staff, very accommodating. Would highly recommend.“
