50 Best Cafes near Sea Cliff

“Totally enjoyed everything about this place. Stopped in to take my little sister out for cheesecake, was nicely greeted and served. Cheesecake was amazing!! Chai tea also was wonderful. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“Exceptional Hidden Gem!!!!!!

Waffles N Sip Cafe is an absolute hidden gem! The Belgian waffles were perfectly fluffy, fresh, and delicious. Their specialty lattes are truly unique and full of flavor—the Lotus Latte is an absolute must-try and was one of the best specialty coffee drinks I’ve had.

The atmosphere is welcoming, the food is delectable, and the service was wonderful. If you’re looking for a great brunch spot with amazing waffles and creative coffee selections, I highly recommend Waffles N Sip Cafe.

Thank you for such a fantastic experience. I’ll definitely be back!“

“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 ⭐️“

“Such a cute unique and cozy vibe! I fell in love with the dalgona milk bingsoo. It’s the best bingsoo I’ve had in NYC and outside of Korea and that’s saying a lot! Very unique and complex taste that I wasn’t expecting.“

“Humble cafe has a chill vibe which I loved. The music and setting is perfect for anyone wanting to relax, read or catch up with friends. I found it interesting that they roast their own coffee beans. I've never seen a machine like the one they have up close before so I found it unique. We just had an iced latte and ice coffee and found it to be a good Saturday afternoon spot to spend time in.“

“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!“

“My friends and I met for coffee at Simply Spinelli this morning and had a lovely experience. From the coffee to the parfaits to the treats, everything was fresh and delicious. The shop itself is clean, airy, and welcoming. The owner and the staff were patient and accommodating and even brought water to our table. We can’t wait to return!“

“In a quest to find “REAL “ whitefish salad, I followed a friend’s suggestion and tried Cafe 17A. Amazing! This past weekend I tried several other salads- Vegetable Tuna, Chicken Salad, Egg whites and spinach, Egg salad and mushrooms and of course sliced Nova and home made cream cheeses. My guests raved! Everything is fresh, and homemade with Love by Scott, the owner. Thanks Scott, - can’t wait to return- You’ve definitely nailed it“

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“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!“

“Stopped by around 7pm after seeing great reviews and it did not disappoint. I got an ube iced latte and an espresso tonic even though it was pricey around $16 but both were amazing and better than other nearby cafés. After finishing the two drinks I went back up for two more drinks and ordered two ice matcha seltzers and those were just as good.

Harvey the barista the only one working at that time when we came in did an awesome job he was super patient, gave great recommendations, provided great service, and you can definitely tell he really knows what he’s doing.

He mentioned he usually works Fridays and weekends, so I’d definitely recommend stopping by when he’s there and having him make your drinks.

I’ll definitely be back!“

“I can not say enough positive things about this place. The girl was so friendly and helpful. I originally went to pickup a togoodtogo order and ended up placing a second order because everything just looked so good. Everything I got in the togoodtogo order was amazing and it was a nice variety it had a bag of goldfish as an extra treat which my kids enjoyed. There was even a handwritten note thanking me for my order which was so sweet and I felt appreciated. The bubble teas were fresh and flavorful and a great value for the price. I can't wait to go back to try more.“

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

“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 !!“

“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“

“The Polo Lounge is such a great place! We were celebrating our 1 year anniversary and another couple was celebrating their 50th anniversary! The food was delicious! The portions are appropriate so you're not totally full before your main course even comes. The atmosphere is a fun. There's a lounge singer and couples dancing. It was lovely to watch and we were sitting in our booth. There was a wedding going on, but it did not bother the restaurant at all. We will be back every year for our anniversary after bring married at Westbury Manor. The staff, the food, and the atmosphere will keep us coming back!“

“This mugwort latte has a gentle, earthy aroma that blends beautifully with the creamy milk.
It’s smoother than a matcha latte and not overly sweet, making it very easy to drink.
The flavor is subtle, comforting, and has a refined, almost herbal warmth without being too strong.

It’s especially nice on cold or tiring days —
there’s a calming, cozy feeling that stays with you after each sip.
If you enjoy nutty, soothing lattes with a clean finish, this is a great choice.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves comforting, aromatic drinks. 🌿🤍“

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

“I'm very pleased with the service I received here. It's the perfect little café in the neighborhood.
I like the variety of beverages they have! The staff is very warm and they take care of you. The atmosphere is quiet, realxing and clean. And, it's very affordable!!
I'm so glad I found this café and I will be coming back again and again.“

“OMG!! Absolutely delicious!!! This is my 10th time here and I am still impressed with the food and service. I had the Tuscany chicken melt- highly recommend and my sister had the Parmesan crusted chicken - phenomenal!! Our waiter Anthony- THE BEST! Attentive, polite and generous. Every time I visit NY- I look forward to coming here! I wish they would branch out to Florida. Compliments to the chef and staff- keep up the GREAT WORK!“

“Food and service here is impeccable. Fresh ingredients, artisanal snacks, and healthy options! We stay at the hospital often and so happy with this healthy option in the neighborhood. The ambiance is super adorable too-- perfect place to catch up with friends.“

“Fabulous healthy food. Kind staff. Definitely a favorite 👍🏻“

“Most amazing and delicious healthy foods & drinks 🙌🏻so many places to sit outside especially on an amazing day“

“What an incredible place! I was in a pinch as I was planning on visiting my family for a few weeks in New York. My dates kept changing and the team went above and beyond to accommodate me and my evolving schedule. My daughter LOVED going to the camp. She came home with so many stories, they made food, craft and had fun! What a gem. We will be coming back when travel again to garden city“

“I had to leave a review after my last visit a few days ago because it was honestly the best experience I’ve ever had at Sobol. A girl named Alexis made my bowl, and it was hands down the best bowl I’ve ever gotten from here. Everything was made perfectly.

On top of that, Alexis had such amazing customer service. She was so friendly, patient, and genuinely sweet, which made the whole experience even better. You can really tell she cares about what she’s doing and about the customers.

I’ll definitely be coming back again, and I truly hope she’s there next time. Alexis made my day — Sobol is lucky to have someone like her!“

“Tried the Fiesta Savory Crepe today and honestly, I was impressed! The crepe was soft with a little crisp on the edges, and the filling was super flavorful. I loved the mix of spices—it had a nice kick but wasn’t too spicy. Everything tasted fresh, and it was really satisfying without feeling too heavy. Definitely something I’d order again. Great option if you’re in the mood for something savory and a little different!“

“Nice Cafe. Great spot for delicious food with excellent service ..The prices are very reasonable and the portion size are just right. They make the best grits which I rarely order out.“

“I love this place. I order my food from here almost daily since I work across the street. I LOVE this place. Everything iv tried is AMAZING!“

“It was wonderful to sit and talk with my company without having to raise my voice. They layout of the restaurant is great, warm and relaxing. Service and pace was on point. The menu has many options for all. My only reason not to give the experience a full 5⭐️is because the food was very good but not amazing.“

“This became my go to brunch location very quickly! The food, service, and atmosphere is amazing. I love the “seat yourself” style seating. The food also comes out very quickly, and the portion sizes are great! I got the Nashville Latte iced, and it was perfect! I always look forward to going back!“

“They need A Carlson button. Put everything in it.“

“10/10 for all the best people working at Time Out ♥️ This is very much a local spot where you’re guaranteed great service and great food and drinks! Lots of good atmosphere, pool table, darts, great game and music selection!“

“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“

“they have awesome and tasty food a place you can eat with your family or friends I promise you won't be disappointed.“

“our go-to for holidays, birthdays, and all celebrations. the rainbow cookies are a favorite, really everything they make is delicious.“

“This is a small, peaceful place. Service is great and what I ate, was excellent!
I had a zacusca toast, which is an eggplant spread with roasted peppers on multi grain bread, and an egg on top.
It was so yummy, and the perfect little bite after a doctor's appointment.“

“This is my favorite place on the island. They have amazing healthy food. I just asked Sean to cook up whatever he feels like making and it's always delicious. The vibe is really fun. Can't recommend it enough for people on the island who want healthy alternatives.“

“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!“

“We came across this little gem (that has been around for 13 years!) just today and this place single handedly just convinced us that we should move to this exact neighborhood haha!
We got two sandwiches, a pulled pork panini (basically a Cuban, yum!) and a chorizo with machego cheese and pear. They were both so delicious and I’ll be thinking about it for the next foreseeable days. Each sandwich order comes with chips but they’re not just any chips.. they’re TORRES chips! If you were to purchase these chips outside at the market, that itself is already $6 and the sandwiches are about $12-$16.. the value of this meal is HIGH! They use great quality cured meats and cheeses too.. I think we’re so used to being scammed in the city with the pricing we almost had a whiplash when they told us our total. LOL.
They also offer iced teas from any of the tea selections they have- very casually offering Harney & Sons.. I have no idea how she made the iced teas in less than two minutes but she did and it was perfect.
It seems like their specialty is charcuterie boards but they also offer frozen pasta and pints of icecream (they also serve icecream too, must go back for that), frozen food that’s ready to heat up and eat, unique jams, local pie and chocolates/ sweets.
This small business is family owned and operated- I believe the wonderful lady who helped us today was the owner and she was so sweet and welcoming.
We’re so excited to come back and try their other sandwiches and possibly order a charcuterie board for our next special occasion!“

“Love this place! This is my go-to spot for lunch with friends and family. I highly recommend the grilled peach ricotta toast, the hot honey chicken sandwich, the everything pigs in a blanket, the crispy brussels sprouts and any of the smoothies. YUM!

The moss wall art is STUNNING!

Staff is very friendly.

The whole restaurant and bar area is really beautiful. Wish they’d bring back dinner and happy hour so I could go more often with my husband and daughter. But happy to continue to visit for lunch until then :)“

“La comida 🍱 es deliciosa 😋 Súper recomendado para todos los latinos …“

“Stellar coffee options and food choices. Wesley and Miranda were extremely nice and helpful. Vibes was super calm and serene, few people studying and enjoying their drinks. We got the ube coconut latte and polar express (maple) drink. The chicken and turkey sausage was actually halal. We had a chicken sandwich (which had very juicy chicken) and a brownie. 10/10, definitely recommend“

“So yummy! Cereal milkshakes are delicious! S’mores cookie was so good. Wish they stayed open a bit later but 11/10😍“

“todo muy rico y muy buena atencion“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“I was spending a few hours with friends I had not spent time with in person for several years. At one point, one in our party wanted coffee, so we decided to look around for a place for coffee, and found Cafe Nico's. The cappuccino was delicious, and I also had a flaky pastry filled with a vanilla custard sauce. Since the cafe is Italian, I cannot refer to it as a croissant. This is one of the few places that is cash only. I look forward to returning, the first chance I can.“

“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 !“
