50 Best Cafes near Pelham

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Five stars for the variety of quality, delicious food. Their salads, hot food, juices, and baked goods do not disappoint. I haven’t had a bad experience or dish there yet. Only wish they were open on Sundays but I understand and respect.“

“I always have a comfortable time when I go to this location!“

“If you're looking for authentic Greek food and pastries, Meri's Bakeshop is an absolute gem. As someone who is half Greek and grew up eating homemade Greek food, I can honestly say this is the best Greek bakery and food I've had anywhere in the United States.

Everything we tried was exceptional, from the Greek cookies to the baklava and spanakopita and tiropita. You can taste the quality, tradition, and care in every bite. Even better, Meri creates fresh specials daily, so there's always something new and delicious to try.

What truly sets this place apart is Meri herself. She is one of those rare people who instantly makes you feel like family the moment you walk through the door!! Her warmth, hospitality, and passion for sharing Greek culture shine through in everything she does.

Meri's Bakeshop feels like stepping into someone's home for a meal. The food is incredible, but it's the combination of authentic flavors and genuine hospitality that makes it so special. This is the kind of place you find once and then tell all your friends about- I can't wait to go back!“

“Pass by this place on the way often to Astoria Park and so glad I finally stopped in. Got the Moroccan Tagine Special of the day Veal Meatballs w Rice. She recommends to sit down and eat. Phenomenal flavor savory, sweet, super tender meatballs. A must try!“

“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“

“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 restaurant was amazing! The person working there was very kind and answered my questions in a way I understood. I got my latte. It was made in a quick fashion. There were nice, clean tables to sit in to enjoy my latte. I highly recommend this location“

“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.“

“I decided to treat myself to brunch at Nourish and it was a pleasant experience. The bartender, Francisco I believe his name is explained to me he usually does dinner but ensured I had exceptional service. The food was flavorful and the restaurant gave a serene type of vibe.“

“The pasta, made fresh every day, is delicious. My fav, Fusilli in bolognese sauce! And they Deliver!“

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“Well what started out as "oh let's try this place" as we hunted for a new brunch spot has quickly become a fam and friends fav. This eatery is a hidden gem in the mount Haven section of the BX...who knew!? Love the rustic casual ,chill vibe & the rooftop seating on a summer day is everything. The food... fresh uncomplicated, there are halal vegan& vegetarian options. The chocolate croissant and vegan carrot cake 🥰 My personal favorite is avocado toast with turkey bacon , arugula or the goddess bowl add a great cup of coffee or Chai latte it's all delish!! To the staff are friendly and helpful. We love this eatery so much we just had my friend's son's wedding there, intimate, beautiful. A must try.“

“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.“

“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!“

“best coffee shop in Manhattan 😊“

“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 is by far my favorite coffee shop! The coffee is always fresh, delicious, and made perfectly every time. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is cozy, clean, and the perfect place to relax, study, or catch up with friends. I love supporting a local business that consistently provides such great service and quality. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing coffee and a great experience!“

“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!“

“Honestly, the healthiest cafe in the Castle Hill area of the Bronx, if not in the Bronx!“

“Great Food and ambience. Drinks are great but I love more beer options. This place is a hidden gem for coffee.“

“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“

“Found this little gem through Google as we took my mother in law to the hospital for her surgery. The place didn’t disappoint, we had French toast, avocado toast, and eggs with bacon and sausage. Everything was amazing and the owner who was also our server was super sweet and funny!! I would recommend this place to everyone !!“

“Lovely cafe! Such amazing matcha, the cafe staff are so friendly too. Definitely recommend!!❤️“

“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!“

“Honestly parking here is HORRIBLE because it’s located in a shopping center with a few other businesses/ restaurants so I would say best to park outside the lot. I ended up parking 2 blocks away which was far for this area. The cafe is small and can easily be missed. They’re a lot of seating and wasn’t busy so service was quick. They’re blueberry matcha was a special and when I received it I didn’t think I would like it as much since I’m not a fan of anything with pulp and the blueberry had pulp bits but you can tell it’s super fresh. After my first sip I can’t wait to go back for more because it was THAT good. Probably the best blueberry matcha I’ve ever had. I love places like this - little hole in the wall spots that just slap! Would recommend but it is far from me so I would have to make the 25 min drive (without traffic) just for this cafe. Wish the matcha was a little stronger so I would probably do double matcha next time but it did work well with the recipe for the drink. Would highly recommend giving this a try. I saw they have strawberry matcha too so maybe I’ll get both next time“

“Was there visiting from Ohio. Great coffee enjoyed sitting outside taking in the scenery.“

“This is my go-to place in Manhattan. My favorite coffee and pastries. Superb! Everything with guava that they offered is just exceptional! The warm and kindness of the whole team makes you feel like HOME. Go for the pan de bono, guava chicharrón, cranberry scone, guava croissants, and dare to try more and more! You won’t be disappointment ✨

We need more places like this in the city!!“

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

“Very good and chill vibe! The food is very good, and lavender latte, is as other people recommended, really tasty! Can't recommend it anymore due to the upwest side vibe and the price is very competitive to others! Come down and be not afraid of going in if you're around!“

“One of the best spots in the Bronx ! Hands down !“

“We were visiting from Washington, DC, and this restaurant was so good that we came back the very next day! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal and excellent customer service. We’ll definitely be back on our next visit.“

“The food and service was 10/10 will definitely be coming back here again 🫶🏻 The flavor was amazing, ordered the Jacob breakfast burrito, literally the best burrito I’ve ever tasted. Also, ordered a lemonade and some tacos, for the price everything was so fresh and packed with flavor. I would love to see a lot more positive 5star reviews for this gem because they most definitely deserve it !“

“My first time here but have been following them for years. OMG, the real deal! I was in a rush so ordered two sandwiches and three pies for a pick-up, but saw that tire was stocked with authentic Italian products so want to come back and shop!“

“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 !“

“The drinks and atmosphere are great but the service is so poor. The baristas are straight up mean to customers. Also you can’t get any drinks an hour before closing, just water. It’s such a bummer that the service sucks because the places itself is so relaxing and lovely to work in.“

“Here's a heartfelt review you can use: From the moment we walked in, we were embraced with warmth and kindness that made us feel like family. The atmosphere of this intimate establishment was not only beautiful, but thoughtfully curated with an eye for detail that didn’t go unnoticed. The food was absolutely phenomenal—every bite bursting with flavor and made with love. The hospitality, professionalism, and sincere attentiveness of the staff was unmatched. We were served with such dignity and care, it truly touched our hearts. This place deserves more than five stars—I'm giving it a full 10! A gem of an experience we won’t soon forget.“

“OMA Coffee has a really nice modern café vibe — minimalist, clean, and relaxing despite being in the middle of busy New York. The coffee was smooth and enjoyable, and the space itself felt cozy enough to slow down for a while.

Not necessarily the most unforgettable coffee spot in the city, but definitely a solid place for a good cup of coffee, casual conversations, or just taking a little break from walking around NYC.

Simple, aesthetic, and easy to like.“

“I love this place! The best Asian food in the neighborhood. Bahn mi is sooo good, thats probably my favorite. Summer rolls are fresh and delicious. And the lavender milk tea is great too. Highly recommend this spot, the owners are really friendly too!“

“Kaafi is handsdown my favourite cafe in Harlem and NYC for that matter. I come here frequently and the drinks and food are always amazing. Z and the team are genuinely the nicest guys, always remembering my order, name and making this such a welcoming place for everyone.“
