50 Best Coffee Shops near Thornwood

“First time buying lunch here I ordered a turkey sandwich with lettuce , tomato, mayonnaise and oil & vinegar. Perfect portion and flavor not too bulky unlike other delis that put so much stuff in the sandwich you’d be overwhelmed. I pretty much ate all in one sitting. I have very sharp ears for some reason I heard him say something after I ordered I forgot to ask to toast the roll. So I saw him put the entire bread with mayonnaise lettuce and tomato on the grill. The guy looked a little grumpy or just his normal demeanor who knows I’ve never been there before lol. Sandwich roll price $9.75 plus tax came out $10.30.“

“Wish they had seating like carvel“

“My first impression is the cafe was inviting & clean. When I walked in I was greeted by two baristas I ordered fruit cup, croissant, peanut butter banana smoothie and a chipotle avocado sandwich without chicken. I had higher expectations for the sandwich it was pressed however the cheese wasn’t melted and the baguette was rock solid. I’ve had way better at Panera. Maybe this sandwich should be on a different kind of bread. However the croissant I had was flaky , soft and buttery. And the smoothie was tasty , thick and flavorful. I would recommend this cafe for anyone wanting custom drinks and a quick snack. Their assortment of baked goods looked delicious.“

“This location is run well and features table service.“

“Stopped in for a cup of tea and ended up trying there mount olympus donuts OMG so good drizzled with milk chocolate and white reminded me of the pastries I get when I travel to Portugal will go back.“

“When I was in college I was coming here almost daily to do my work. Sometimes I’d try other places but nothing compared to Mandy Bean.

The coffee is on the “pricier” side but if it was a corporate business no one would bat an eye, so I personally don’t mind because I know regardless of what I order it will be consistently made well and I am more than happy to support a small business.

They are usually busy but if I had to wait for a table/seat I was never waiting for more than 10 minutes. Plenty of parking. Bathroom is always clean. The music is perfect for concentrating on my work. It is a comfortable space for working and also to come with a friend. Their everything seasoned croissant is one of my favorite things ever. The staff is always patient, kind, and knowledgeable. My boyfriend isn’t really into coffee drinks so always finds himself enjoying a seasonal tea. There is something for everyone here.“

“10/10 love this place … coffee is great, beer is great, the atmosphere at all hours of the day is always on point and the support for the local community just seals the deal.“

“Where do I start, Portrush is one of a kind. The baristas are not only knowledgable but also truly hospitable and very welcoming. Since they have opened I’ve seen this true cafe and espresso bar put smiles on 100s of faces. If I mention the establishment it creates curiosity and if already known, I always hear “They are awesome, Que rico, or another positive accolade.” The perfect place to learn about the process of coffee and the love of community. I recently learned the name is in homage to Portrush, Ireland—another testament of the unique diversity of the Village of Port Chester.

“Love my mornings at First Village Coffee. It's like my daily recommended dose of good vibes all around!“

“This place hit a bunch of the same things I look for in a coffee shop.

(1) the cold brew is excellent! They didn’t have it on their written menu but they do have it! It’s delicious.

(2) The shop is so relaxing and even though I did take away I felt like staying a bit to enjoy the ambiance.

(3) The staff is friendly, fast, and super pleasant to interact with.

I will be coming back for some more cold brew!“

“I have not tired this coffee yet. But i roast my own and i know this coffee will be great. can't wait to try this coffee!“

“We've been coming to the reading room since it opened. We are big fans of the coffee bar especially the hot lattes. We had one yesterday that was delicious, creamy, smooth and had divine chocolate notes. Cup sizing is great too (small = 2 shots, medium = 3 shots, large = 4 shots). They do coffee right in a way that most coffee shops do not!! Staff are always welcoming and kind. Wonderful seating on front porch. Book selection is also great and they will order any book for you! They are the best :)“

“There is a lack of good coffee shops around me but this place doesn’t disappoint — good strong coffee, great desserts and reasonable prices.

The lady at the front was also super nice and recommended different options.

Try the hazelnut eclair — it’s worth every single calorie

Going to be a frequent customer !!“

“Excellent quality coffee and awesome Brazilian finger foods!!! Also wonderful Brazilian desserts, especially the Maracujá pudim and brigadeiros!!! 😍 It’s a bit of a drive from me but I always enjoy the coffee and the food. Also have a variety of Brazilian groceries that I don’t have to trek to Newark for. Thank you for being here! See you again soon!“

“As someone who remembers the Inkwell in Long Branch and was there for the opening of Small World Coffee in Princeton, I am so happy I found this shop. I stopped in while waiting for my mom to get off the train, just looking for some wi-fi and place out of the over 100 degree heat and was incredibly happy to find this spot. The staff was very pleasant, patient and enthusiastic. I ended up ordered a cortado with real (yes real) maple syrup. Hallelujah - proportions were perfect! Coffee was delicious and full-bodied without bitterness- worthy of pretentious coffee snobs! The place itself is warm with places to work and places to relax. I wish it were closer to home but I will be back! I might drive up here for the cortado alone. Please support this local spot not just because its local - but because it is excellent! And I want it here when I return.

**Worth every. single. dollar. Life is short. Buy excellent coffee!**

“Great coffee shop we found while staying in the area. We both got cold brews that were really good. Also got some ground coffee to go. We already used to the coffee for cold brew and it came out great. Friendly and kind staff. Hopefully we can go back sometime.“

“Amazing coffee, treats - and staff! ❤️“

“I went here with my mother this past Mother’s Day and was thrilled by the overall atmosphere, experience, and cozy environment. I had the avacado smash, with a tasty latte, and a thoroughly refreshing glass of champagne to celebrate! The brunch was made wholly enjoyable by a doting staff. The maitre d’ greeted me and my mother immediately, the server consistently checked in and poured water regularly, and the blond barista with glasses struck up a very pleasant conversation—suggesting a delicious pastry that was surprisingly delightful.“

“Un posto dove vale la pena farsi 30 minuti di macchina (senza traffico). La prima volta mi sono fermata 3 ore. Buon espresso e biscotti favolosi. Ma... e' il sentirsi a casa che ti ci fa tornare! Basilio e' multicampanilista!“

“Mathew helped me try a new bean, Bari, and WHAT a great brew!! I’d forgotten the pleasure of freshly ground, GOOD coffee can bring!! ***Hot Tip*** Grab a slice of homemade cake, a scones and/or a muffin! ❤️“

“Went today for the 1st time. Staff was very friendly and explained the menu items. We had chicken empanada, beef empanada, chicken potato ball, beef potato ball, and arepas with cheese. Every was so delicious. Our latte was especially good too. Can't wait to go back for more!“

“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!!“

“I recently ordered (and ENJOYED) a custom ice cream cake for my wife's birthday, and I can say with great certainty, that was one of the best desserts I have ever eaten. Absolutely fresh and fantastic...thank you! 🥳🎂🎉“

“great food and drinks . nice to relax“

“This is the best spot to get a healthy, delicious and unique breakfast in the whole area! Every time I come I am greeted by the wonderful staff and feel entirely welcomed. My favorite worker is Melanie, she is a sweetheart and deserves the best!“

“We order a bunch of cookies. They were prefect for what we needed and they were extremely accommodating. During our party the folks eating the cookies were in aww of the cookies and wanted to know where we order them from. I told them Bella’s bake shop in Mount Kisco. We have also purchased bread from them at a farmers market and it was delicious! Will continue to purchase products from them. Staff are extremely nice!“

“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.“

“Friendly clean atmosphere. A great place to take our grandkids too“

“It was our first time there. A great place to have a cup of coffee, and some good eats. Also the lunch menu looked very good, I’ll try it next time I’m there. We’re going back, highly recommend it“

“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.“

“I just had the Starbucks experience. I came to downtown Scarsdale at 6 AM to work. Nothing was open, including the building I was going to work in. I do not drink coffee and had never bought anything at a Starbucks in my lifetime. So they suggest a hot chocolate, was upsold to the largest cup, they put a dab of Whip Cream and Chocolate syrup on it. The barista was a very Upbeat person And provided constant upbeat greetings to every last person who came in. I was thinking of my niece Jessica who was a barista and now makes part of her living doing IMPROV. Tipped the barista team for the floor show and tremendously positive good feeling I had as I walked across the street to @scarsdaledentalgroup“

“Great service over all. Only con is that they clean everything but the seating area and the station with the straws and sugar packets. They are usually almost always filthy whenever I come to this location and in all my time I've been here the seating area is usually not full anyway. This place could also use a little more seating, there is only 1 table which is small and 4 chairs and the last one can't even fit under the table while the door is right next to it. Management should encourage workers to sweep up the bits of trash from the restaurant floor and clean up the tables when there aren't any customers to show a bit more cleanliness. Otherwise this Dunkin is cleaner than some others I've seen, even though I've seen cleaner, and I usually never have any issues with rude workers or mistakes with orders.

Dietary restrictions: There are dairy free options for drinks containing milk (Almond milk)

Parking: Parking is somewhat difficult considering this Dunkin Donuts is located at a plaza on Route 9A and they share a relatively small parking lot with the rest of the other stores at the plaza. You may have to park at the other plaza across the street which has a lot more parking.“

“Wonderful small bakery. Incredible croissants, pastry and varied sweet treats. The baker seems interested in trying new things. Some sweet and some savory. Glad they are not open more days as I would gain too much weight. Everyone I have shared their pastry with is blown away.
A much needed addition to the neighborhood“

“This waffle shop is a gem! Wild culture + creative flavor combinations = a delicious breakfast or lunch!“

“Great location. Staff was really nice. Warm and inviting. Highly recommended.“

“Got the sausage and cheese on ciabatta & cappuccino. Ciabatta was very soft and the sandwich had a good amount of sausage and egg. There are a lot of baked goods and it's next to the MNR station. So it's a good spot for eating & train spotting“

“They have my favorite coffee year round now.. butter pecan and I prefer iced, w/extra flavor and creamer Not milk. Perfect! Try it As far as their menu I only chose the foods I've tried. I'm sure all of it is great.

Wheelchair accessibility: They do have handicap parking.“

“Went here for a Bacon Egg and Cheese. After tax with card it was $6 which was disappointing especially considering the lack of egg bacon and cheese compared to bread. The order came out fast and the guy who helped me was nice. It was a good sandwich but there are plenty of other places charging the same price or less for a much fuller sandwich that tastes just as good. I get the economy is bad but I’d rather the base sandwich be another ridiculous dollar more for a reasonable amount of fillings.“

“Nice little Cafe for breakfast or lunch. Self service counter with limited seating. Coffee is fantastic and they do have gluten free bread for toast to go with omelets or to make sandwiches. I would be careful if you're very sensitive as I'm not sure about cross contamination.“

“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!“

“Best coffee shop around! I go in every morning, and it’s incredible how quickly the line moves and how few words need to be exchanged in most cases, as the staff know every regular’s name and order by heart. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and are satisfied with your order. Highly recommend.“

“Me encanta todo🍩🍩 El chocolate excelente☕☕“

“Sunday morning, I took a quick walk and had a nostalgic breakfast on the way home. Freshly made omelets, toast, and coffee☕️The small shop is also busy from the morning. There is terrace seating, and the restaurant caters to a wide range of age groups. Today's morning menu. Lunch is also good!

Kid-friendliness: Children's chair available“

“Few restaurants are consistently better on every visit, Capers is one. We went with another couple for dinner. Wine was Ken Wright Pinot Noir-excellent. Appetizers were Squid and Tricolore Salad. Salad was very good, didn't try the Squid, but it smelled incredible. Entrees were Chicken Martini, Mussels, Short Ribs and Yellowfin tuna.- all very good. Service is great.“

“Great place to chill and unwind. Great muffins and quiche. The staff is amazing.I like the seating outside with the nicer weather. I wish the place was little bigger. They don’t really have larger cups for drink like other place. Definitely a cool place to hang out. Going back!“

“I frequently visit this Nespresso boutique, and the team is always attentive, patient and kind. Today, the Assistant Manager, Jeff, went above and beyond, for me. I had been searching everywhere for a limited edition product, and he made me feel like my request was his mission. He found exactly what I needed, and he never made me feel like I was inconveniencing him. I also picked up some new pods to sample. I highly recommend this boutique for all of your Nespresso needs!“

“One place to feel relax like at home, with very nice People who learn you name 123 and call you for your name, I really love this place“

“The avocado toast is the best around (IMO) and the shaved brussels sprout/quinoa salad is pretty amazing too. Haven't tried anything I haven't liked, to be honest. Also a great go-to for a hostess gift.“
