Cafes near Spring Valley

“My spouse and I stopped here randomly while making the drive from JFK back to Ithaca after a red eye flight, and we are so glad we did. We stumbled in just as they opened, but Chef Dave was so kind and welcoming, and he makes the *BEST* pastries and breads we have ever had—and I cannot put enough emphasis on "best" here—from any country we have ever been to. We took a chocolate-almond croissant and a blueberry turnover to go because we were too full for sweets after eating yummy frittatas for breakfast (the bread he uses for the toast is too good!), and even hours after getting them home, they were incredible: so flakey, moist, airy, the perfect amount of sweet, and bursting with flavor. We already can't wait to come back to try more of his creations. Seriously, do not sleep on this place if you are lucky enough to be in the area!“

“This is a good restaurant, this restaurant is mine, it has many good qualities such as shaved ice and roast meat in the summer, in the winter there is a delicious atole or as we call morocho, a delicious hot chocolate with empanadas, this is the fanesca here, and there are many delicious things in this place not to be missed!!!“

“If you are in the area and want to taste some amazing coffee this is a kiosk you need to stop by. You will not regret tasting this amazing coffee, and be sure to have a chat with the owner. He loves coffee and you can taste the love in the coffee.“

“Stopped by this hidden gem with my mom this Saturday. We were greeted by very attentive servers and a beautiful space. The food was absolutely delicious and presented so nicely. We ordered the avocado toast and built our own savory crepe. Among all of the fun drinks they had to offer, I ordered the Icy Bear Latte it was delicious and adorable. We are definitely adding this to our brunch list in Bergen County, and are looking forward to our next visit!“

“I've been coming to Glitter Thicket for years and still feel enchanted every time I visit! It's a charming cafe with a full menu of delicious sweet and savory vegan offerings, an art gallery showcasing local artists, a cozy gathering space where you can play trivia with strangers and feel like you've spent the evening with good friends. The owner is lovely and crafts the food and space with such care that you really feel like you've stumbled into somewhere quite special. Whether you are hungry for a BLT or breakfast sandwich (highly recommend), a cupcake or peanut butter cookie (can't leave without getting one), or inspiration for doing/making, wander into Glitter Thicket!Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan/plant-based!Dietary restrictions: So awesome to have legitimately good vegan options--and lots of them (the whole menu)!“

“My experience with” Its coffee “ is unique to most small businesses as this one resonates and breeds happiness and peace , all the time you will experience a host who is filled with Spirituality and has background music that fills you with spiritual happiness . The coffee is her own brand and Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts has nothing on this place . I would highly recommend coming here and experience the atmosphere of holiness and great conversation ….“

“I purchased a 2022 Cannondale Synapse and could'nt be happier. Piermont had the best price and was able to ship it to me in Florida. The bike arrived in excellent condition, no scratches or anything out of place. I wish there was a LBS in my area like this one.“

“Everything about this place is fantastic.You won't find anyone else like Amanda, John, & Kerri here. They all know me by my name.The only thing I can't get past is the extreme entitlement of the customers that come here. People brush past me, or even see me struggling to get through the door while they are in the way, and cannot be bothered to move. And when I go "excuse me," I am met with frowns, lol.Today was the second time someone did that to me - frown when I walked past them being in the way as I wait for my turn to order while they take 5 minutes standing and chatting away with the cashier, as if no other customers were waiting. It's not mean necessarily, but inconsiderate.I really don't wish for any issues here. I wish people in this town who equally enjoy CD cafe as much as me would practice spatial awareness more. It's the Cafe Diem way to walk away happy!! As long as I am welcome here, I will continue to support CD cafe!“

“Flours tremendously stands out from your usual cafe. Not only can you stop in for a coffee (amongst other delicious drinks like a butterfly tea lemonade) and a sweet treat, you can buy a plethora of pastas and sauces to prep for dinner or the whole week! Sofia’s passion for quality sourced ingredients does not go unnoticed from the taste to the way you feel after you eat it. Flours is the only pasta I can eat that doesn’t make me lethargic or have a stomach ache after. I also have learned a lot about grains through their pasta. They have speciality pastas with grains such as rye, einkorn, and spelt which tastes delicious and nutritionally stands out from box pasta and other fresh pastas. Anywho, long story short, definitely make your way over to Flours! Go for the pasta and stay for the daily specials and baked goods. You will NOT regret it.“

“So many drink options! Excellent coffee, you can customize in every way possible. They offer lots of recommendations if you're overwhelmed and can't make a decision. Servers are always patient, friendly and knowledgeable. Scones are good and the breakfast wraps are the absolute best. The only two drawbacks are that it is quite pricey, and it takes an awfully long time for food orders. I would get breakfast here every morning but it's at least a 15 min wait if you order any food, and there's almost always a line to order. Overall, it's a very good coffee shop and provides an excellent alternative to just the usual Dunkin and Starbucks in the area.Parking: There are only a few spots in front of the coffee shop but you can park further down past C&RC or near Ernie's, if needed.“

“Our absolute favorite, go-to restaurant. The service is great - the owner is welcoming (even once escorted our toddler to the c-store next door to buy some candy) and all the wait staff is great, especially Jason who is incredibly kind. Food is excellent quality and fairly priced for how good it is. Pastas are cooked perfect al dente. Great meat dishes especially the pork chop french cut. The desserts are quite good as well - love the coconut cake. Because it's not huge it isn't quiet but we've never found it to be uncomfortably loud and it has a great ambience.“

“Heard about Ramona’s and passed right by it the first time. Ramona’s is set back from the road behind 1840. My wife had the buttermilk pancakes and they were cooked perfectly. She also added scrambledEggs which were also cooked to perfection. (You would be surprised how many cooks screw up scrambled eggs). I had the Cuban sandwich and was surprised that it was the BEST Cuban sandwich ever: better than little Cuba! True. Try it and you will be pleasantly rewarded with a perfect sandwich in taste and texture.Each time I go, I try something else’s on the menu and have never been disappointed!BTW,One morning on my way to NYC I decided to get an egg sandwich and tea. After ordering I went to my pocket only to find that I leftMy wallet And cash home! Chris, the chef, said “don’t worry about it” and gave me my food without paying. I went Back the next day to pay, and the Chef said “I really meant Don’t worry about paying.” They would not take my $. What a classy move. Not only is the food 5star for breakfast and lunch, but they have KIND hearts! Love this place in every way. (Although I do wish it wasLarger)“

“Excellent service, the food is great, good portions, good presentation, Ms. Giovanna is very jealous with the presentation of the food and always attentive to the smallest detail, it is a place that I would definitely recommend 100%, it is small and very busy so the waiting time is a bit long.“

“Came for breakfast with my teen daughter on a Saturday morning. It was packed and it was about a 40 min wait. The entryway is tiny. We ordered Nutella crepes for the kiddo and the Monte cristo sandwich for me. Both were very good. I also had a side of home fries. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Perfect. I also ordered a caramel iced coffee and it was way too sweet. I couldn't finish it. My daughter had a lemonade and it was the perfect balance of tart and sweet. Service was very good despite it being very crowded. Oh and the vanilla cupcakes with pink frosting were really good! Would come back.“

“The best healthy breakfast I've ever had the apple cinnamon and the Irish soda bread scone were amazingly good and the egg whites with the spinach and onion, tomato and grilled chicken. Best thing I've ever had. I just love the presentation on how you made my food :) great job on making my food the egg whites are the healthiest thing I've ever had I would highly recommend going to this place in my opinion egg whites are the best option for a healthy choice.“

“What hours is this establishment actually open? My DoorDash and Uber Eats orders are consistently accepted and then cancelled without explanation. I've tried the smoothies a few times and they are great. It's unfortunate that the hours posted are for an 8 AM open when that seems incorrect.“

“Very nice owner. I tend to get the watermelon smoothie. My grandson enjoys the mango bowl & also orders various smoothies. Nice to sit outside & observe the traffic and people as it is located on one of the main streets in the town.“

“Stopped on a bike ride where hundreds of other riders who had ridden there as their destination. I enjoyed one of the better lobster rolls I’ve eaten in a long time! Great deserts, burgers and other food. Highly recommend this destination1“

“Simple place to get some food and warm drinks in Winter, cool drinks in the summer. They've got maps and books for sale. Only problem? Not enough indoor space for the tables. Outdoors is okay in the summer when it's crowded. But it's always crowded here, especially in the summer. They close the parking lot when it gets full. Be prepared to park somewhere else like the boy scout camp on the other side.“

“This place is sooo cute!! You can pick your own pastries and they will wrap them to go for you. Counter girl was so friendly individually wrapping our items and the donuts and pastries tastes great. They even had a creme brûlée donut which was so unique and tasty :)“

“Came in between meetings on a rainy day and the vibe was spectacular. Phenomenal coffee, and thank you so much for having vegan pastries that are GOOD! The donut and scone don’t taste like they’re missing anything, they’re delicious. Great house-made flavor syrups, great music—you can’t go wrong here!Dietary restrictions: Vegan milk options, a vegan old fashioned donut, and at least when I went, a vegan cherry chocolate scone.“

“We just stumbled onto this place and were SO happy with the lunch. I had avocado toast with poached eggs. Every ingredient was fresh and flavorful. You can tell the eggs were very fresh, the fresh spinach was not overdone and the sprouts were brilliant. I also had an apple tart that was just the right amount of sweetness and crunchiness; not overdoing the brown sugar topping. When in town; I plan to visit again.“

“I love everything about this place! The food is outstanding and the staff are amazing! Shout out to Christa, who is the soul of the place, and Cory, who goes above and beyond (crayons & paper for my little one). The cafe is a second home to me :-)“

“Cute small shop with street parking. The mochi donuts were excellent! I have yet to try their limited-time flavors but plan on doing so.Parking: There’s street parking but we came on a weekend and were able to park at the train station, a short walk away.“

“The staff is lively & attentive. The variety of healthy/ vegan foods is excellent & the produce was attractive. Even though I didn't buy any this visit. I even was lucky enough to come across some hard to find Supplements. Very nice place. Upscale but affordable for everyone. I'll be back.“

“The Philly Cheesesteak is the best! Good price for the amount of food you get!Breakfast is ok typical diner type food. I'm not a fan of eggs so the options are more limited for me to pancakes, waffles, etc. so we usually do lunch instead.They are open for dinner now during the week but post the specials on Instagram. They used to have a website and it no longer works, I really wish they would fix it because in this day and age usually if you don't have a website you don't last long as a business.“

“A small cafe that serves the newly built water front development. There is only few tables inside, but a nice outdoor seating area. We were pleasantly surprised by stumble upon this place by searching Google. The food was fantastic, we ordered a salmon dish which was cooked to perfection and a nice cheese burger with sweet potato fries. The portions were abundant, tasted delicious and reasonably priced. We really enjoyed it!“

“An incredible spot my great friend Omar took me too during my first trip to Nyak. This beautiful french-centric space has been very well curated by the owner. Excellent Croissant and even an Aperol Spritz option is available.The back tea room area has amazing oil paintings from 200 to 400 years old on the walls. I could sit and look at their brush stroke techniques for hours. I will be back and happy to enjoy all that Salonnière has to offer. Merci!“

“The salads are always fresh and delicious. It is 10:30 a.m. and the website says they are open. I am outside the door and they are not open. I called and the message doesn't give hours or even the business' name. No hours posted in window. If I hadn't already eaten here I would not return. Bad for business.“

“Haven't been to this coffee shop in so long due to not living locally but the coffee was just as good as I remember it last! Came around 10am, was a little busy but service was quick and efficient. The baristas were very friendly and my hot latte w/ oatmilk was really good. Their pastry selection could be a little more appealing but overall, great spot! The cafe has a good amount of seating and restrooms. Street metered parking also all around!“

“I can’t say enough about the hospitality of the folks here! Ron, the fleet captain went the extra mile to get us a dock for our IP 370 sailboat, Vinny and his buddy helped us tie up and then even walked our boat from a bow in to a stern in, Mike the mechanic spent a lovely evening with us visiting, and so many others made us feel so welcome! Although the pool and restaurant/bar closed after Labor Day weekend, and there is no laundry facility, the marina has beautifully maintained quiet floating docks, a channel with 6-7 foot of depth high tide, and plenty of canopied areas to relax in. The restroom and showers are clean, spacious and well equipped. Grocery stores are a short ride away, and a number of members here offered rides. An added bonus: no nearby train tracks! After a few rough nights on the anchor, Cortlandt Yacht Club was the respite we needed before continuing our way south to the Bahamas. Thank you members! I highly recommend your facility.“

“We are so glad to be able to enjoy the talents of Chris D'Eletto again. We just had our family Christmas get together catered from Jack's Cafe. It was absolutely amazing with something for everyone. Whether you choose a weekend dinner or their catering, you can't go wrong.“

“Wow, and that is pretty much all I have to say. First time stopping in with the family and friends after dinner at Park West Tavern (see my review for that dinner) This is a must stop to fulfill your sweet tooth obsession! Take it from me, a big guy who occasionally likes his sweets.“

“This small shop makes the best (bacon) egg + cheese sandwiches around that area.The owners know what I want after I've not been there for months at a time, and have been like that since my first visit. They are always friendly and quick with my order.They have Coffee Roasters coffee, a favorite of mine, but they rarely make decaf, if that's what you're after.It is a tiny shop with limited seating, you'll probably be more comfortable in your car or back home, but there's always news on the tv to keep you amused, should you sit and eat.Park in the Rite-Aid lot or on the side street. They're 2 blocks from the train, and there's plenty of small places to shop or investigate nearby.“

“Jessica and her staff give exceptional care to your nutritional needs! Always dropping health and motivation gems. By FAR, a favorite Every visit to Rockland County. We stop here before heading up to Woodbury Commons for a healthy treat that always leaves us satisfied! Do yourself a favor and experience the special warm and tasty detox before your sweet smoothie. Perfect combo!“

“Cute and cozy cafe perfect for a weekend brunch! I got the black honey ham panini during their valentines brunch special, and it was delicious. The panini was crispy and the flavors and textures were balanced between the gooey cheese, crispy apples, and slightly sweet ham.“

“I just hosted an amazing baby shower at The Harmony Tea Room...the staff were most helpful, ease in planning this was due to their pleasant demeanor and attention to detail....I highly recommend this establishment...the food was lovely and plentiful...teas were refreshed frequently..and it was a delightful event! Even to the nice touch of the bathroom cloth hand towels The decor was adorable and my guests enjoyed themselves as did my daughter, the lovely guest of honor!“
