Off the beaten path in Wappingers falls Cafe Con Leche was perfect for our Sunday brunch. Outside seating available under a deck. Inside was nice with plenty of seating for groups and AC to keep you cool on hot summer days. Acoustics were great we were able to enjoy our conversation without having to yell over loud music. Bathrooms were clean with a touch of Puerto Rico as ambient coquí frogs sing in the background. The staff were amazing, friendly attentive and helpful. Our waitress was top notch took care of our coffee and food orders with a smile on a rainy cloudy day. Ordered the Coquito latte, delicious- paired with the sweet and spicy chicken and Coquito batter waffle!! Wow the flavor was great didn't even need syrup. Loved the contrast of sweet and salty. Great portion sizes for the price. My wife got the Coquito French toast with scrambled eggs hash brown potatoes and bacon served on a charcuterie board. Eggs were fluffy and delicious the French toast was soft and buttery. read more

Really fun vibe~festive for Christmas Lots of opportunities for selfies and group photos. BRUNCH BIRTHDAY MENU The menu is PuertoRican- Island flavors with mainland options like Pancakes and French toast. our group of 9 ppl ordered all around the menu: My daughter and I shared a bunch of sides: eggs, Yucca Fries, fresh fruit, and sweet plantains ( yum) they worked around my food allergies.GRACIAS DRINKS: Mine was guava and passion fruit mixed. Refreshing. They have a lovely selection of Harney teas and real honey ENTREES: Mia, our gracious server is efficient, friendly and warm even surprising me that she knew what my Allium allergy was all about. Whoa ! Mia offered options( none really interesting so we opted for a bunch of sides) Kitchen is doing its job because everything came out hot and cooked to the right temperature. My eggs were still warm while one of our table mates had a huge entrée that was piping hot as well. It was just one delay at the table and it was managed very well. WERE STUFFED, but they surprised the birthday girl with a flaming Tres leches cake complete with Pyro tactics which set off the smoke alarm. But not for long because they were ready with the broom handle. They apparently have a lot of experience with birthdays here. We had a great time. read more

Cafe Con Leche - Thats BS IMHO. Punished foe having a large party and spending more money? No thanks, on principle alone. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wappingers Falls, New York

I love this place. All the food is amazing and just like mama makes. Our waitress, Sophia, was great. She is helpful and super friendly and knowledgeable. My favorites are the alcapurrias and bacalaitos for appetizers. The sancocho was good but it needed more flavor but the carne asada was delicious. I had the mofongo burger and it was really good. The burger was overcooked but all the other stuff on it was good. The coquito espresso martinis are delicious and so is the guava cheesecake. The ambiance is great, I love all the island decorations. I do have to say they're getting pricier each time we go which makes it a little harder to be a regular but it's great when celebrating special occasions. read more

We met some friends there Saturday evening, all of us have eaten there before and looked forward to dinner. The lower dining room was full and even the upper room was almost full. As always the food was excellently prepared and plated beautifully, The restaurant has a family appeal, you see families with young children enjoying dinner together. I do feel bad for the servers who bring everything up from the kitchen on the first floor, up to the second floor by the staircase. read more

Came in for Sunday dinner time, everyone was polite and welcoming. Was super excited to come back to try the Churrasco Mofongo and it did not disappoint. My husband got the carve guisada and it was delicious as well. The meat was nice and tender, along with the plátanos and arroz con ondulas. Sophia was on point of making sure we were good and if we needed anything. Great music playing and with this heat it was nice and cool while we enjoyed our meals. Happy we receive the same great service coming here. read more

My Wife's family loves this restaurant. This is our go to spot for group dinners. My FIL typically orders the Sofrito Wings and the Taste of Puerto Rico Sampler for the table. Wings are perfection and I would say a crowd favorite. The sampler really gets you started with mini rellenos, pastelillos and carne frita, great for sharing. Next we like to get into drinks, a pitcher of Hibiscus Sangria, Draft beer and fresh juices are always top picks for our group. For Entrees, The Pernil (slow cooked pork,) Mango Salsa Salmon and of course The Churrasco (10 oz Skirt Steak) served with chimichurri sauce and sautéed red onions, and a choice of side. Word to the wise, a 20% gratuity is added for groups of 5 or more, checks over $200 and on Holidays. Fair. The service is great, servers are very knowledgeable of their offerings and happy to make recommendations if you need. I recommend making reservations whenever you go because this place is popular! They do offer seating upstairs and downstairs. I believe the upstairs area can be reserved for private events and the restaurant does offer catering. As you can see my review includes no pictures, blame it on how good the food is! Signed, The Happy Hour Huntress read more

A staple in the community, Cafe con Leche never disappoints. This time I ordered their holiday special drink, it was absolutely delicious. For dinner I ordered a shrimp avocado salad that was fresh and had the most delicious lime dressing. Service was fast and friendly and the restaurant itself is cosy. Definitely will be back. read more

As usual, café con Leche does not disappoint. The staff always attentive, and the feel an ambience of the restaurant is always fantastic. Even when it comes down to the bathroom, listening to the sounds of the coqui in the restrooms. I had a big-time favorite, the codfish fritter bacalaoito with El jefe Mezcal and pineapple juice fantastic drink to get the night started. As for an entrée, I had a special Carne cerdo which is fried pork with sautéed onions and Tostones. As well as churrasco with tostones white rice and beans. Truly love coming to this place for the taste of Puerto Rico. It's truly amazing food every time I come. read more

Love the food at this place. The fish dish always makes me laugh with the presentation, nice and crispy and seasoned welll. The dipping sauce of the calamari is not your traditional marinara and it is heavenly delicious. The rest of the dishes were the family's, they said it was good so I'll take their word for it. Try their pernil and mofongo. read more

Food as always is great. I ordered to go yesterday and in October dined in for mom's birthday. Finally tried the bacalao guisado. If I may suggest to have a mofongo with bacalao guisado. That would be awesome. I shared my bacalao with mom and pop who had the mofongo. That was delicious. My son had the pork chop kankan which I had in October. Somehow it was better this go around. Definately a go to. read more

This was my first time here. I didn't even know it existed! It's right off of Main Street in Wappingers Falls with its own parking lot which is great. We were there for a friend's birthday party. We took up the entire second floor which appears to be a room set up for such occasions. The food was very good, as was the service. I am hoping to make it back there to try the full restaurant experience on the first floor. read more

I came here for Mother's Day brunch and it was wonderful. I had delicious food and amazing service. We were a party of five and the tip was included because it was holiday but the waitress did tell us when giving us the bill. This was great because they were transparent about the tip being included. We ordered the jibaritos sandwich with pernil. This was really good; I would say less onion but this is just my preference. The pork was well seasoned and juicy. The tostone was also good and had a good amount of crunch. My main entree was the fried red snapper which was delicious, well cooked and flavorful. The fish was crispy and flavored. I loved this fish and transported me back to an island vacation. I love my entree and recommend it. The size was big enough to share with someone else. We also had a pitcher of tamarind sangria which was delicious. My sister had the churrasco which was really good as well. My niece's food was also good the mofongo with shrimp. The dessert was really good we ordered the trio of dessert. We all liked the tres leche and the flan. I did not like the crème brûlée but maybe that was just from being full. We did order the coquito latte but I did not taste the coquito flavor. The service was great Sophia was very nice and had great recommendations. The decorations of the restaurant went with the restaurant. They even had the coqui sound in the bathroom, a great touch. I would definitely come back soon. read more

Excellent food and service while sitting and eating at the bar. Trifongo was good, needed more chiccarone in the mix for more crunch. The churrasco steak was a perfect medium rare. The best part of the overall dining experience was the decadent tres leches cake with a point on cafe con leche. read more

We came here today. We are celebrating my cousin's birthday. Everything on the menu is good. I always go for the mofongo. You can have it with chicken pork, I like mine with shrimp. I had the monfongo with seafood: shrimp. Calamares and octopus salad. It's a bit loud, we Latinos talk loud. But the atmosphere is festive. We had several servers, but our main one is Ariana. Sweet and very attentive to everything. I could not eat it all. So as always I'm taking it home. read more

Every visit to this cozy gem nestled in the village of Wappingers Falls NY is a transportation to my mami's house on the island. Their Puerto Rican dishes are all authentic. Especially their sancocho! On this visit they weren't serving it so I went with the chuleta kan kan! It was amazingly juicy on the inside and had the perfect crisp! I chose their homemade arroz con gandules which is just like mami's home recipe and the brussel sprouts, don't frown! These will make any non veggie lover eat veggies! They are sweet and have a nice bite, not mushy and not raw not bitter. Try them! The coquito crembrule was very creamy and had the perfect sweetness. I started out with the very fresh pulpo sliders! The slider is pulpo salad on tostones. Delicious! Felipe and Melody the owners were there as always welcoming and friendly. They always make me feel at home. My waiter Dehgan was very friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu items. He didn't rush our meal or rush us out. He was very professional and also made me feel like home. If you want authentic Puerto Rican cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere you must try this restaurant. Parking is ample as well. read more

Pretty place, nice ambiance, Not noisy, can definitely have a conversation with your dinner companions Great service, our waitress Ariana was super attentive. She actually apologized for our main course taking a little longer than usual. We shared a plantain seafood salad, very tasty. I had the Pernil, it was juicy and delicious ( $20.00) as a side, finger licking good sweet plantains, forget the sauce! My husband had the Mofongo with sea food( $48.00) it was good, but not worth the price. Our dining companion had the Mofongo with pernil ($26.00) more like it! His wife had the fish, delicious, beautiful presentation, came with two sides. We will go back, the food is good, but some of their dishes are overpriced. Also they do not have menus, you have to look on line!! read more

Four of us had dinner here. Some of the food was fantastic, such as the white rice with ham and bean sauce. The barbecue sauce hamburger was also very good. Other items were a mix. My fried pork chops (chuletas fritas) were somewhat overcooked, but still pretty good. The yellow rice was dry. Staff were friendly, but service was mixed, with a long delay from ordering to receipt of our food, and gaps afterward. Also, we were missing an item (our server was apologetic). Last, there are no paper menus. read more

Last year, I went to this restaurant as a party of 6 for a birthday and had a good time. We were seated promptly for our reservation, our waiter gave good service, and food was great. Tonight my family came again and had a totally different experience. We made reservations for 3:30 PM-- showed up at 3:35 PM and it was fairly busy. The hostess told us our table would be a "little longer" and that we needed to wait outside or sit at the bar and wait, which would have been okay but then we were not seated until 4:30 PM even though I saw what would be our table get vacated at 4:15 PM and they told us at 4:20 it would only be "2 minutes." That few extra minutes felt like forever when you have been waiting an hour for your /reserved/ table. It then took 15 more minutes after being seated for our waitress to even come over to our table to acknowledge us and take our order. We would have felt better if at any point someone had apologized for the wait or been considerate of the fact that we were waiting for so long, but no one did. As we sat there we saw our waitress go up to literally every other table in her section and ask them how they were doing, and if they needed anything, right up to the table next to us, then turn around without acknowledging us or saying hello or at least "I'll be right with you guys." The food was good and came out promptly once our order was taken, and we enjoyed the rest of the evening, but to wait 1 hour and 15 minutes to FINALLY order did put a damper on things. Of note, we were only asian american family in the establishment at the time. It may or may not matter at all, but people without reservations were seated long before us (I acknowledge that they had smaller parties of 3-4 and we were 7) and not many other people we saw were sent out to wait in their cars for a reservation. The food is solid and I know Sundays are a busy day for them, but I would not recommend coming here if you want reservations to be honored. read more

Cafe con YUMMY. If you're looking for legit Puerto Rican food, this is the place to go. I've only been there once, which is why I'm giving it four stars; I imagine after my second time, I'll pop an extra one on there! I had the Homestyle Chicken Sandwich, which was delicious and delightfully messy! The main courses come with a side, even the sandwiches, and I had their brussels sprouts. SO GOOD! I tried cuero for the first time, too. They have like six different types of mofongo. The folks who work there were nice, the place was clean and had great music playing, and it was bright, energetic and super positive. Definitely plan on returning! read more

Cafe con Leche is one of the few places I tried since moving up to the area, and can't help but keep going back for more. I was worried when they moved that things would change - but they've somehow gotten even better! The restaurant itself has a very clean and comfortable atmosphere. I appreciate the clean part, especially with covid. The bathrooms are an entire experience - you just have to check it out when you visit. Reminds me of the Rain Forest cafe. I've been here for Sunday brunch as well as their normal menu and I haven't been disappointed yet. Everyone I've brought here has the same opinion - they offer friendly service and amazing food. On my most recent visit, I had the surf & turf with a side of tostones and yuca fries. The salmon and steak were both cooked to perfection - tender and not overcooked one bit (have my standards gone too low? lol). The sauces really brought everything together. This was such a simple plate - but made for a fantastic meal with leftovers for two people. read more

Upon recently moving to Dutchess county, my husband and I stumbled upon this restaurant while waiting for our dog to get groomed within the hour time frame. Once we entered, the ambiance and decor of Puerto Rican trinkets, music and art really made us feel like we were in Puerto Rico (would love to visit there one day!). We made it to the brunch service and the specials/entrees they had for the Sunday time were incredible. My husband is Puerto Rican so he was thrilled to see his favorite dishes created with that home cooked love in each bite. Upon ordering, I got the Hot Honey Omelette which came with home fries, toast, and a side of meat. Extremely delicious ! My husband ordered the special which consisted of a toast with jam, sunny side eggs, avocado, a side of home fries and meat. Both dishes were very filling. We also got an appetizer which was delicious , if I was able to drink mimosas (first time mom status) then it would be wonderful as their drink menu is legit. So if you're looking for a place to eat authentic Latin food and booze with friends on a brunch or dinner date, I highly recommend Cafe con Leche. We will be back again to enjoy more delicious meals. read more
