Very cute cafe in this local neighborhood. The staff were super friendly and telling us about her background and connection to Philippines. There's a huge variety of drinks, food, snacks and pantry items. My hot ube latte with espresso and oat milk was hot and cozy. The pandesals were tasty. It's nice to see such a cute spot to relax and enjoy the local community art brought together. read more

A side trip here came on the way back from Sleepy Hollow. It's a little off the beaten path if you're driving on the Saw Mill Parkway, but it's located right next to a Metro-North train station on the Harlem Line (Hawthorne I wanna say? But I could be wrong given I am normally on the New Haven Line). Anyway, this place has 5-star reviews across the bar which is how this ended up being the first option I could find on the Saw Mill. So went we did. You can find street parking right next to its building. This is a nice quaint little art shop, and there's plenty of things here you can buy if you just need that something extra in your life. It is a Filipino shop with plenty to check out if art shops are your thing. I personally get bored with them pretty easily if I'm not fully invested in what art places have to offer, but that's nothing against this place as that is just a personal preference. So what you see on my pictures here is what I had: the Ube cheesecake and the Ube Affogato. Believe it or not this is not my first experience with affogato as there used to be an affogato place on the way to/from work I would stop by for. It's ice cream and espresso, and let me tell you that if you haven't had a good affogato before, you're missing out! In fact, I even once met a cast of actual Netflix actors and actresses at that old affogato shop, and there was one person in the cast that remarked that I could have fit in right with the cast. So by getting the Ube affogato here, it was like taking a trip down memory lane. It WAS however my first experience with ube, so it was a taste of old times and new memories all-in-one. Both things I had were really delicious! If I have more Ube things in the future and they're this good, I might have a new contender for a new favorite flavor of food! The customer service was really nice too. The lady working there you can tell puts a lot of care into what she does. A nice little tidbit I like is that when I asked for a spoon for my cheesecake, she shared that Filipinos tend to eat cheesecake that way as well. I thought that was some really cool knowledge. And the ambiance is very homestyle that sometimes you can't tell it's actually a shop. This will make for a great morning stop if you're ever in the area. Maybe you could stop by here, kick it slow a bit before catching a train to NYC, or even Sleepy Hollow. This place gets both my thumbs way, WAY up! read more

We came here on a whim and I got the Cafe Bombón and it was very pleasant. We also got 2 sweets to try both. The Ube cheesecake and Ube chiffon cake. They were both very delicious and flavorful. It felt very homie inside and the owner was so nice . They also sell calamansi juice in a can. And multiple products from the Philippines. read more

I am so happy I work closer to this place now so I could finally try it out! I came here on my lunch break to try the Ube latte. I added espresso for an extra kick. Definitely on the sweeter side but it was delicious! I need to come back to try the pandesal and other imported Filipino treats. The cafe is just steps away from the Hawthorne train station (and free parking out back if you drive). read more

Great drinks and food! A very nice owner who fully explained their concepts. Quiet comfortable family place.

I should have written a review sooner. I have now been to this cafe a few times, and each time I've received warm and welcoming reception and very good service. I've tried a few things on the menu and since opening the pastry selection has expanded. But in addition to many of the traditional pastries you can find in other local cafes, they have unique selections such as ube cheesecake and pandesal. Lots of space, comfortable seating. No offensively loud music. Just an overall relaxed experience. read more
