    Very cute French cafe. It's small and can get crowded. I see why it's so popular. I loved my turmeric latte. My boyfriend comes here weekly and it was nice to see where he enjoys hanging out. He loves the cappuccino. Fun decor and chill vibes. I look forward to coming again. Friendly fast service.

    I wish so much I could give this coffee shop five stars, but I felt the coffee was subpar and the pastries didn't look worth buying! I ordered an oat milk cortado and it tasted like a cup of oat milk. The coffee wasn't strong at all and honestly had no taste. I wonder what beans they use? Anyway, the shop is super cute! And the shop had a good amount of customers. Maybe we came too late in the day (came around 11 am)? But? The pasteries looked like they were old and store bought. I just liked the decor and it was nice walking to the coffee shop to visit...but that's about it, unfortunately. I have nothing really note worthy to discuss in regards to this "patisserie".

    R Cafe is owned by a really extraordinary barista named Paolo whose coffee and pastries are as good as his service and team. Be sure to AVOID being so mesmerized by the pastries that you forget to look at the menu on the wall behind them that is filled with delicious items. Bravo all around! PS: Did I mention that they promote the artistic talents of their team and local artists on the walls of the cafe? Be sure to check those out too!

    Time I called to explain that a quiche was missing

    THE ABSOLUTE WORST SERVICE I'VE EVER RECEIVED IN MY LIFE... BEING PREGNANT, AND ON MOTHER'S DAY. It's so sad because the owner is the sweetest guy, but one of the girls working for him today was a foul mouthed child who should not be attending customers. I'm so happy that I had her on speaker so that my guests could witness how she yelled at me at the top of her lungs because I said ONE QUICHE was missing from my order. I made an order for delivery and was called from the cafe to tell me 3 of the things I ordered were not available. I was first asked if I would like to substitute them or cancel the entire order. So instead of cancelling, I love supporting this cafe and I just decided to exchange things. It wasn't until the end that the girl told me I could just get a refund for the items they didn't have, so I decided to do that but get a tomato quiche to replace the goat cheese quiche I initially ordered. For some reason, throughout my pregnancy I could only keep down quiche for breakfast so I didn't mind if it was a different one. When the order arrived at 1:02pm (I took a screenshot), my mom received it while I was showering. When I got out, I cut her flowers, put them in a vase, fed my dog, and then we were ready to start eating. We shared two croissants and talked and laughed like normal people do. (I'm saying everything in detail for a reason) then we wanted to warm up the quiche's and noticed one was missing. So I called at 2:29pm. One hour and 27 minutes had elapsed since my order got delivered. I spoke to a very sweet girl named Annabelle and explained to her that one of the quiche I paid for was missing, she didn't know how to refund it so she said she would call the manager to see how to do it. I said ok and was grateful that she was trying to justify the mistake. Well, I get a call back from NINA and she said "hi, I talked to the manager and there's nothing that we can do because you ordered this HOURS AGO so it's your problem." When I attempted to get a word in and said that it WAS NOT HOURS AGO she started yelling at me at the top of her lungs said that I was lying and that she would love for me to show up there and a bunch of other things and then hung up on me. It was DISGUSTING and so DISAPPOINTING. I've worked in customer service for 12 years before attending medical school and I have never had such a terrible experience nor witnessed such appalling behavior. All for ONE QUICHE that I was just asking for a refund for or to be able to pick one up tomorrow because it's common courtesy since I PAID FOR IT AND NEVER RECEIVED IT. Throughout this whole ordeal I would like to say Annabelle was a sweetheart and was super kind. The girl who was absolutely awful and unprofessional was named NINA and with all due respect she should not be working in customer service at all.

    Used to be good. But today I got my latte steamed like this. Mostly bubbles, really poor quality.

    What an adorable spot! Stopped in looking for a place to relax for a half hour and get a little treat. The cappuccino was perfect. I decided to order a dulce de leche shortbread cookie, which I was afraid would be too sweet, but it really was the perfect amount. The couches and casual atmosphere were just what I was looking for instead of a more modern sterile decor. I'd come back in a heartbeat. My server/barista was very friendly.

    A small and cozy cafe for a quick bite / coffee or a moment to sit and get some work done. I stumbled upon this cafe on my way to school and I am so glad i did! The staff is amazing, super helpful and quick! I've had the caramel and vanilla lattes, chocolate chip muffin, and croissant which were all delicious. I did get an iced chai latte once, which I felt was very milky with a hint of chai, I know each place makes them differently but it wasn't for me :( The vibe is very cozy and peaceful. It might get hidden in such a busy street but it's my perfect hidden local gem!

    Great coffee spot in New Rochelle to meet a friend or bring your laptop. Good vibe, jazz in the background and comfortable seating.

    I've been meaning to check this place out for a while, and today, after a very long few days without any sun, I decided to walk downtown and finally do so. R Patisserie certainly did not disappoint. First of all, the place is so cute. Then, the staff is very attentive, helpful and nice. To top it off, the coffee and snacks were really good! Quiche was perfection and the orange glaze almond cake was very tasty. While sitting there enjoying my coffee, I overheard what appeared to be many regulars come through and the employee taking orders knew their orders. I will be back, and i highly recommends this cafe.

    I came here for brunch on a snowy winter day so there were only a handful of other patrons. It's a…read morecute little cafe with maybe 10 tables, plus bar seating. To start, we shared the crispy brussel sprouts Charleston style. These were delicious with the tangy sauce and large flakes of parmesan cheese. For my main, I had the brunch wrap. It comes with chips, but I swapped for fries for an additional charge. The wrap was a good size; I had half and saved the rest for leftovers. It was tasty, but not a ton of flavor. The tater tots were nice and crispy and I enjoyed the fresh tomatoes and avocado. They gave me a huge portion of crinkle cut fries, which also would've been great with a little more seasoning, but they were good when dipped in mayo. My husband got the shrimp and grits and appreciated the large portion size as well. I had a lemonade to drink. It was refreshing since it wasn't overly sweet. Service was great. I look forward to trying the rest of the menu!

Aesthetically, each table feels like a meal at a family dinner table; it's clear that they wanted that vibe to be translated, and it's done quite well. This is also supported by the service being very friendly and helpful in general. To eat, I had the French toast burger with sweet potato fries. Some others with me had various sides like regular fries and tater tots, and the same thing was present on them that tends not to be at most places: they were all perfectly salted/seasoned. It might seem immaterial, but it's a very good signal when something that simple--yet often neglected in favor of just using condiments to mask it--is executed well. If you're a burger place with fries that taste great without the need for a sauce or condiment, you're doing something right. The French toast burger was likewise fantastic, combining sweet and savory in a great way. To drink, we all got a communal pitcher of the only frozie they had available at the time: a kind of jungle juice vodka slushie. It, too, was great--worthy of multiple rounds. All in all, here's a place that I can't wait to give another visit.

I started with the tamarind margarita. The tamarind flavor was a bit subtle and the drink was on the sweeter side, but it was pretty good. I also tried the passionfruit mojito, which was a little more tangy and strong. My husband enjoyed the strawberry mojito and tom collins. To eat, I had the burrata avocado toast. It was a great portion size, with two large pieces of toast. However, the flavor was a bit bland. My husband was happy with the chorizo omelette, which was also quite large.

On a beautiful afternoon, we decided to grab a table on the patio, and it was the perfect choice. The outdoor seating created a relaxed, inviting atmosphere that made it easy to settle in and enjoy brunch. The restaurant itself has a modern, stylish aesthetic that feels elevated without being pretentious. From the moment we sat down, the service was exceptional. Our server was attentive, welcoming, and struck that perfect balance of checking in without ever making us feel rushed. Now, let's talk about the food. The Tres Leches French Toast completely exceeded my expectations. I've had plenty of French toast over the years, but this one stood out. It was incredibly soft and fluffy with beautifully crisp edges, creating that perfect contrast in texture. The tres leches flavor was rich enough that it genuinely didn't need syrup--a rare compliment for French toast. Every bite was indulgent without feeling overly sweet. Paired with the perfectly cooked apple-smoked bacon and a bowl of fresh fruit, it was one of the better brunch plates I've had in quite some time. I also ordered the strawberry mimosa, which was bright, refreshing, and not overly sweet. It was the perfect companion to brunch. We couldn't leave without trying the Chicken Burrata Sandwich, and I'm so glad we did. The burrata was fresh and creamy, the chicken was juicy, and the spicy sauce added just enough heat to keep every bite interesting without overpowering the sandwich. Then there was the bun--soft, fresh, and sturdy enough to hold everything together. It tied the entire sandwich together beautifully. The fries deserve their own mention. Golden brown, perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside--exactly how fries should be. Between the beautiful setting, genuinely attentive service, and food that delivered across the board, 179 Bar & Grill earned every one of these five stars. It's the kind of place that's just as good for a casual brunch as it would be for bringing friends or celebrating a special occasion. I'll absolutely be back--and next time, I'm already planning to explore more of the menu.
