I was in the area for an event and had some time to kill, so I found this coffee shop to grab a drink and read some of my book. I was greeted when I approached the counter to order my $7.25 oat milk latte (before tip). They didn't take my name, which is my biggest coffee shop pet peeve, but luckily it wasn't busy so I was able to hear when they called out my drink. The latte was good and I could tell the espresso was high quality. Unfortunately I couldn't get the wifi to connect, so it's a good thing I had my book with me. The table I chose (high top with metal chair) was not super comfortable and part of the table was broken, so it was a little precarious. The bathroom was clean. It's a cool concept, as they also have a bar serving beer and wine, and it looks like a nice community space with events. And it's dog-friendly. If I lived in the area I think I would come here often! read more

Had delicious and well prepared Cappuccinos recently and a flavorful fresh scone. Note to self: "Must visit again!" What a lovely treat and nice place to relax and enjoy. read more

Climbing Wolf - Cappuccino with oat (!) milk. Yum! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dobbs Ferry, New York

I came into climbing wolf with my co-workers and had the most lovely experience. The fella who helped our group out was named Marty and he was the most helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable guy! We had a mix of orders but he handled it all with ease - coffee, water, beers, etc. I will be back next time I'm in town!! Thank you for such a wonderful Sunday. read more

Thanks to Yelp, I'm able to find high end coffee shops wherever I go. Climbing Wolf is another absolute win. Very cool vibe, pleasant greeting from the gentleman behind the counter upon arrival. They rotate beans from high end roasters, today they had coffee from Touchy Roasters in Troy, NY. My wife enjoyed a cold brew with oat milk and I enjoyed an Americano. The Americano was served in a nice heavy mug, so it stayed hot. The flavors were complex. I've been out of my craft beer phase for a while but if I wasn't, this place would be dangerous! Awesome tap list, served at a friendly neighborhood bar. Can't beat that! Seating was comfortable, natural light was ample. Really enjoyable! read more

Climbing Wolf - Cold brew and Americano! Delicious! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dobbs Ferry, New York

This place is amazing. It is warm and welcoming whether you come for coffee or beer. The staff is very personable and the art work is ever-changing. You can pop in or hang for awhile. Don't forget to join them for trivia on Thursday evenings! You will not be dissapointed read more

A place that pays homage to the origins of beer. This coffee and bear spot is a perfect place to come chill and learn some interesting facts about beers and coffee. Humulus lupulus is also known as hops. In Latin, Hops in the beer community is known as the climbing wolf. The service here is fabulous. Chris is a fabulous conversationalist and knows how to pour a good beer. This place gives off very close knit vibes where someone is always telling a crazy story. I highly recommend this spot for a beer. read more

Climbing Wolf - The bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dobbs Ferry, New York

Climbing Wolf is a vibey, casual coffee + beer spot with a few outdoor tables and a pretty wide selection of beer/ale. They're dog-friendly, and keep filled water bowls available for visitors of the pup variety. Re: service, the barista who served us was very friendly. Two of us visited midday on a Saturday, and unfortunately, both of our original orders/requests were unavailable: no caramel syrup for a caramel latte, and out of ingredients for one of their featured drink (I think it was something with lavender?). No big deal though--the barista was nice, and the drinks we *did* end up getting hit the spot for an afternoon pick-me-up post-Untermyer. read more

Amazing coffee shop! We stopped by for a cappuccino and a cranberry scone. The cappuccino was so creamy and smooth. The cranberry scone was soft and not too sweet, going well with the coffee. They had a lot of seating and were dog friendly. They also serve craft beer which looked amazing. Definitely want to stop by later in the day to try it out read more

I found myself at Climbing Wolf after having dinner in the area - we were looking for a place to unwind and since someone in my party had been here before, we decided to check it out. I'm all for trying new places, so off we went. Located on one of the main commercial strips in Dobbs Ferry, Climbing Wolf specializes in beer and coffee. Walking in, we were greeted by a decently sized area with a variety of seating options: bar seating as well as some tables, chairs, and couches where you can sit and enjoy. The aesthetics were somewhat minimal and contemporary - lots of neutral colors; the vibe gave off brewery but with a cozier aesthetic. I'm admittedly not the biggest beer drinker, but after browsing the menu I could tell they had a good selection. Since I had a drink at dinner I decided to bypass and go for one of their soft options. The coffee bar was actually closed for the night when we arrived, but they were serving tea so I went with that. Again, they had a good selection; I decided to go with a cherry lemon option which was quite good. The flavor wasn't too strong but the notes were there which translated to a great sipping experience. Service was great, everyone was really friendly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Climbing Wolf. I would definitely return for more of their tea as well as try their coffee. And hey - maybe a beer ;-) read more

Where's the button for 10 stars?? To say this is a special place would be a understatement. Let's start with the basics -- their coffee and beer are both great. Delicious coffee / cafe program, which is only to be surpassed by the amazing beer program. The space itself is a welcoming, warm and a perfect refuge to hang, work, play, socialize or a little bit of all. But none of that is what makes this place so special. The magic of this place is the human connection that happens inside. Sure, probably not what you expect to read about in a Yelp review, but the reality is these kinds of environments that foster human interaction are harder and harder to come by. Just a handful of miles away in NYC, the concept of walking into a place like this and openly connecting with new people would be an absurd concept. But it's this concept that is lived and breathed by Chris and his brother, the wonderful humans behind this place. Chris is a rare find in the year 2024. He literally knows the name of every patron that walks through the door. He takes the time to greet each and every one as they walk through the door, not missing a single one, and immediately making you feel welcome when you enter. He doesn't do this because he has to, he does it because he genuinely wants to. Really quickly, the line between patrons and friends becomes blurred. What's more -- Chris doesn't just get to know the people who enter -- he goes out of his way to introduce you to everybody. In the 2 weekends we went, we met 6-8 new people, many of whom we exchanged info with and plan to see again. These all started with Chris and his subtle way of facilitating human connection. I can't overstate how rare this is to find these days and how much the world needs more people like Chris who are creating more connection in a world full of divide. The culture Chris embodies trickles throughout his whole team. It's contagious. They're all genuinely enjoying being there. How rare is this to find? It feels like you're in the living room of a family that's just really enjoying what they're doing. It makes you want to stay for hours -- which is exactly what we end up doing each time we go. And by the way, we travel from Manhattan -- a city filled with hundreds of beer joints and coffee shops -- just for this magical experience. Keep it up Chris and team, spread the love read more

What a great, chill spot. They excel in coffee, sweets, and beer. What's not to love? Lots of different types of seating depending on your plans for your visit. Good luck picking something to eat, because it all looks delicious. My family and I snagged a few pastries and truly couldn't decide our favorite. Nice, small but well-curated beer selection in the fridges in the back. And of course there are ample taps to try, too. I truly cannot wait to come back, and I'd plan to stay a while. read more

Climbing Wolf - Mad Elf at 11% - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dobbs Ferry, New York

Super chill and great staff. Not a ton of food options, but perfect on this rainy day. Parking sucks, but glad I came by,

Neighborhood staple! All of their espressos (particularly their recent anniversary geshas) are beyond incredible + so unique. Coffee wise: The nitro is always a solid option -- or I opt for a latte. Have never been disappointed with anything on the menu, from the coffees to the baked goods to the occasional pop-ups hosted inside. Everything is always fresh + incredible. Service is always also the best!! JB is always a pleasure to see + always has the best recommendations. The baristas are all great at their jobs, can do crazy latte art, and are the friendliest!! Whether you're stopping by for a coffee or need a place to sit and work (with great vibes), climbing wolf is a great option. read more

Very knowledgeable coffee and beer staff. Wonderful ambiance that translates well from day to night. The coffee quality is unmatched in this area and they have a beer for everyone! If you're lucky enough to live in this area you know Kaitlyn, JB and Chris are staples of this community! read more

Climbing Wolf - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dobbs Ferry, New York

We were in Sleepy Hollow/Tarrytown area and decided to check out Dobbs Ferry. We came across this place while walking on Main Street. It's a cozy spot with friendly staff and a nice selection of craft beers. They have coffee also but we had a beer so I can't comment on the coffee. read more

Great spot for a coffee or a craft beer. Service is friendly and location is great in town of dobbs ferry. Modern interior.

I highly recommend coming to the Climbing Wolf if you're looking for a spacious but chill coffee shop/beer bar with plenty of seating and positive vibes. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I am definitely going to make this a regular stop. Also, dog friendly! Such a great place to hang out. read more

Day or night, I love the Wolf! Great place to hole up with a laptop and people watch outside the giant windows. Excellent coffee, fantastic beer selection, and always friendly staff. It's my home away from home! read more

Let me start by saying--I'm ' . Now, let me tell you why. It's a long one. So grab a drink and some snacks. 1. The Coffee - It's always fresh and consistent. Starbies? You could 2. The Beer - At night, this place metamorphosizes into a bar. The selection is great. The tap list is a very well-curated mix of craft beers, always delivering something fresh and unique. I don't know much about beer, but I do know about getting tipsy. Would 100% recommend. If you're nice(-ish) enough, they might even let you write on one of the boards for the tap beers. In addition to the 12 beers on tap, they have a fully stocked fridge with all kinds of beers--whether you want to enjoy one there or take a few to go. No matter what you like, there's something for everyone. 3. The People- JB and Chris, the owners, are absolutely wonderful. You can always pick their brains about all things beer, coffee, food, and most things life. Bartenders and baristas Kaitlyn, Justin, Angel, and Tabitha are as lovely. They're friendly, fun, and make this place feel so warm and welcoming. 4. Dogs - This is a pet-friendly place. There's always at least a dog wagging their tail, wanting to be petted. If you need some oxytocin but are too lazy to go for a run or too irresponsible to get a pet for yourself (like me), this is another reason to visit this place. 5. The Vibe - Whether you're human, alien, vampire, or a zombie, you're welcome here. No judgment--unless you're an a-hole. Then kindly stay outside. 6. The Most Useless Trivia by Polish John - Every Thursday at 8, Polish John hosts the most hilarious trivia night ever. Aptly titled The Most Useless Trivia, it's packed with random facts that will help you absolutely nowhere in life, but boy, is it fun. If you're in the area and love not-so-serious trivia, you have to give it a shot. I promise, you won't be disappointed. 7. Local Art - They feature a rotating exhibit of local artists, which is always a great addition to the space. It's a wonderful way to support the artists. 8. Bring Your Own Food - While the place doesn't have a kitchen, you're totally welcome to bring in your own food or grab something from any of the nearby spots. This is their modest way of not just making the place more welcoming but also supporting other businesses in the area. There's no way in hell you could resist going and buying something for yourself once a patron opens their box of tacos from Los Ferchos. 9. The Community - If you live in the neighborhood, this is a place you must visit. It pulls you in like a black hole, helping you find your tribe--no matter how lost you feel in the abyss of life. (Sorry for the metaphor, I'm a little tipsy thanks to Hardywood's Christmas Morning beer here at Climbing Wolf. It's amazing!). I moved to the neighborhood nearly six months ago and started coming here to work while I took my time setting up my place. This spot became my little bubble of stability while everything else in my life was changing. Sorry for the sap. If you're on the lookout for your people, chances are you'll find them here. Having said that, my bank account isn't exactly happy or proud of my spendings here at Climbing Wolf, but my heart is definitely very warm and fuzzy. So, if you want great coffee, incredible beer, and a place to just be, Climbing Wolf is where you need to go. read more

Such an adorable place. We stopped here to get coffee and fell in love with it; the ambience, the cute interiors, the coffee and the staff. Two really friendly men at the coffee shop that helped us place the order and even customized coffee on request by my friend. This was literally a 7-10 mins take-out interaction but it's a skill to make customer feel special in that limited a time. Not only is their customer service great, their coffee tastes amazing too. I really couldn't try any of the food and other drinks they serve as we didn't stay long enough to get a complete experience, but would definitely return if I lived in the neighborhood. read more

Great ambience, coffee, and staff. Will definitely come back if I'm ever in the area. read more

Climbing Wolf - Inside area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dobbs Ferry, New York

Coffee + beer + friendly staff ! This is a great local spot with plenty of seating and I'm pretty sure I saw scones last time I was there so yeaaaa ... :) read more

The best nitro, cold brew and regular cold brew I have had in New York. Also, they have some food and the chocolate chip muffin was amazing.

Comfortable setting, limited menu to pastries. Coffee was standard granted I had coffee and cream. Pretty straight forward. Barista poured the cream for me which should never happen. He made it light. Cream should be on the side. Atmosphere was too quite. Yes, people had their computers for work but.... It's a coffee shop. Not a library. This is not a bad review. Place was nice. Just pointing out some notes.... read more

This spot really has something for everyone. During the weekdays, you see people working on their laptops/doing homework, on Sundays you see families sharing coffee and cocoa and sweet pastries, and in the evenings you see everyone come together for great beer selections and even better company. Even someone like me, who prefers decaf coffee and NA beer, always has a great beverage option. The baristas/bartenders are so friendly and welcoming, and they've reinstated Thursday Trivia Night which is an absolute blast. Thank you team for the steady stream of Small Decaf Iced Americanos with Oat Milk - you got me through this long hot summer and I appreciate you! read more

Love going to Climbing Wolf. Great coffee and wide selection of beers to choose from. What I really like is the atmosphere. Perfect vibe to get some work done or chat with a friend. Amazing service as well. Chris, JB and the rest of the staff will make you feel like you are at home. Not a large food selection but high quality baked goods like muffins and scones if you want a snack while you chill out. Must visit location in Dobbs Ferry. LGBTQ+ friendly as well. read more

This place is epic! I went about a year ago now, but thinking about I had to come back and write a review! Coffee and beer what a COMBO!!! The vibes was a great with amazing service! I would totally go back here!! read more

The bartender JB is really cool, and totally doesn't have multiple siblings that work here and he also lets me run up the water bill to the heavens. read more

I was looking for a coffee shop to call home for quite some time now. Somewhere I can work, but also just kick back and unwind my brain. Climbing Wolf is that and more. Their coffee is incredible. The staff are very passionate about their coffee and beer. They pour their heart into Climbing Wolf and it shows, bringing in the masses. Climbing Wolf is truly a warm hug. You get a familial feel here. You'll see families, young and old, and if you're one of the lucky ones, you'll get to pet a precious dog every now and then. The people who work here are some of the kindest people I've ever met. They are super personable and make each visit memorable. They're most definitely a huge reason I keep coming back. I couldn't be happier that this place exists. Fair warning, your credit card bill might end up being all Climbing Wolf, but it's ok, worth every penny. Ps, I've never written a Yelp review in my life. Says all it needs to. Now, go check out this gem. :) jp read more

Enjoyed a really good Americano and a delicious Snickerdoodle coffee. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area.

Chris is an absolute stink. If you go to this spot expect to be judged based off initial interactions. He thinks his bullshit bar is better than people. He judges what doesn't fit himself. Wouldn't spend another dime in this place. God forbid you have a disagreement in the place. Poor service and poor judgement of character. Customers that have been loyal he threw out because of his stupid judgement read more

A couple of years ago I relocated from Chicago and have been looking for a place like Climbing Wolf. It not only has a great selection of beers from all over the country and coffee drinks, it's also a welcoming and cozy space. Coming from the midwest, I've missed an atmosphere where I can meet interesting people, like owners JB and Chris, or just sit and enjoy whatever beverage they suggest. These two are the nicest of guys that go the extra mile to create a welcoming ambiance with some of the best selections of beers and coffee drinks in Westchester county. They're also known to support their community in lots of different ways and is another reason to visit. I love this place and I'm sure you will too! Cheers read more

Climbing Wolf Beer is a really great spot! The baristas are knowledgeable about the coffee and they have a wide variety of beers as well. The atmosphere is very welcoming and low key. The inside and outdoor seating provide something for everyone. It's a great place to hangout and catch up with friends. The biggest plus is that it's a dog friendly (so so kind to our pups) spot which is so rare in Westchester. We cannot wait to go back! A wonderful addition to Dobbs Ferry. read more

Probably going to be our new local coffee shop. Can't say a bad thing about it, I loved it all, the vibe, the coffee, the friendly staff, the togo coffee, and there's a beer bar. Haven't tried the beer yet, but if the coffee speaks for this place, it would be enough. Got a few pastry treats as well, then sat on a couch for a half hour drinking coffee and chatting about the day. Sleepy Hollow needs something like this, but so happy this place is close. read more
