This shop is one of the best things to happen to Ossining in ages. It is TRULY a community space. They make coffee with NY coffee roasters -- exclusively -- and make the best latte in Westchester County. If you're looking for a treat, get the "churro" latte, which is a sweet sip of awesome. Otherwise, their single origin selections or a pour-over are just right. Each day, there's a selection of locally made baked goods -- empanadas (the spinach & cheese, if they have it, is fantastic), croissants, apple tarts, and all manner of other baked delights. First Village is a place to talk, to chat, to work (if you're so inclined), and immerse yourself in the wonderful Village of Ossining. read more

Let's put it this way: after I left First Village last weekend, I thought, "Could I really move to Ossining just because of a coffee shop?" Ha! First Village is a good 35-40 min drive from NYC; by train, a 15 minute walk from the Ossining station on the Hudson line (Metro North). It boasts a friendly community vibe AND the best chai latte I've ever had (not overly sweet.) The decor is quirky: if "subversive but fun" was the theme they were going for, well, they nailed it! There is ample indoor and outdoor seating, too. Don't explore this slice of the Hudson Valley without stopping here for a cuppa. You'll be glad you did. read more

I've been to First Village countless times and cannot recommend it enough. It was the first coffee shop I discovered when I moved to Ossining and it's a beautiful, hidden gem in a small town. The owners are incredibly friendly - they remember you after a few times and make you feel like a local even if it's your first time there. The aesthetics of the shop are always changing (the shop features different artists on rotation) but always cozy and warm. I haven't had a drink, hot and cold, here that I haven't loved. You can add flavor shots to anything (the churro is different and yummy) and their matcha latte and hot chocolate are my favorites. This is a perfect place to get work done, read a good book, or catch up with a friend. read more

I was getting tired of the few cafes around Tarrytown and decided to venture a little further north. We found this cafe first on Yelp and after glancing through the reviews, decided it would be a good place to take our studies. The cafe is on the smaller side, but has plenty of seating and standing room. They have also have free wifi here; you just have to ask the barista for the code. This is definitely a great spot to study if you are a student living in the area! We arrived in the late morning, and the pastry cabinet looked sparse, so we ended up just ordering coffee. I do want to note that they have both savory and sweet pastry options though. I went with a latte, which was beautifully poured and tasted great. They brew Irving Farm coffee, so I'm sure any of their espresso drinks will meet the standard of even the most discerning of coffee drinkers. I appreciated that the owners seemed very involved in running the business and keeping the cafe clean and tidy. I was also thankful that we were not rushed to finish our coffee or turn over our table even with the foot traffic that continued to increase into the early afternoon. Parking may be a hassle on weekdays, but there is a municipal parking lot with a three-hour limit just a block down the street! read more

The best almond croissants I've ever had (even those I've had in Paris)! Balanced selection of both sweet and savory pastry options - all were absolutely divine! As were the 8 oz lattes. In fact, this is one of the very few places I've seen offer 8 oz coffee options. This is wonderful because 12 oz always just dilutes the coffee with too much milk for me. Went back two mornings in a row! New music playing on the record player every day. Cute room in the back. LOVE that they don't provide wi-fi!!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. It has such a pleasant energy. I work up the road so often walk over for a cappuccino and a cookie or a pour over and a muffin. Luis is wonderful and gives personal recommendations. Today he was working with a newer girl was training, Ruby, who was extremely polite, and friendly. The quality of coffee and lattes here is top notch. Some of my coworkers have complained about price, but it is very fair for the high quality beans they use. I'd also gladly support a family owned shop rather than a Starbucks etc. If you like Starbucks, you won't like this place. Starbucks pales in comparison. There's a true family and community feeling here. I've had several different baked goods that were all wonderful. Customer service is outstanding, and options are ample if you ask the barista for recommendations and don't already see something if interest to you up on the menu. I really am sad that my office is moving to a new location because I'll miss this place. I personally buy shade grown fair trade coffee whenever possible and this place really puts care and thought into their selection and offerings. read more

I absolutely love this place! The people working here are truly amazing and treat each of their customers with care. They make this space inviting where they show interest to engage in an conversation with you as they prep your drink. I love their dirty chai latte with oat milk. Their lattes are always freshly made to go and they ensure the drink is adequately and uniquely designed as they pour the espresso into the foam milk - it's always entertaining to watch this. Their pastries are heavenly!!! And they even have vegan options! This place is just so chill and unlike the other coffee shops in the county. This coffee shop truly embraces diversity and care about the community. Wish I could give this place ten stars. :) I'd you haven't been to this place yet or driving through town or looking for a meeting place, stop by at this place! It'll be worth your time. read more

Hands down best coffee shop experience First some highlights: outdoor seating, friendly staff, pastries, and probably the best damn latte you'll ever have Stepping into first village brought me back to Manhattan, a mix of customers from young students on their macs, to a mother and daughter enjoying cookies. Everyone was so friendly exchanging smiles with me as I make my way to the counter, once there the gentleman behind the register was quick to greet me, let me know I can ask him anything, and was more than happy to give me some extra time to see what I wanted. They have a great menu, short which in my opinion means you're about to get something excellent. I ordered an iced churro latte This is what I except a latte to taste like every time I order a latte anywhere. I got hints of the fresh coffee meeting the flavors of brown sugar and totally taste bud awesomeness of sweet flavoring. Now the ham and cheese croissant In my opinion could of had more cheese and hams however I am one to over eat and I know I'm probably the only one to think this. The croissant was flaky, buttery, ready to take your tastebuds on a space ride And to top it off the owner saw me taking photos, seat with me talked with me and my friends, which was such an amazing experience and just shows how much of a community togetherness can be found here. read more

I was about to order a chocolate croissant and the person right before me took home the very last three. They did do me the favor of choosing for me since my runner up was of course, the crookie. What is a crookie you ask? Well nothing more than the two best combos to ever exist: croissant and a chocolate chip cookie. They basically had a baby and named it crookie. There's cookie in the bottom, inside and on top in some portions/bites. Not too over the top but definitely something you want to eat after an insane workout hehe.

Both were okay -- fresh, toasted, and crispy (maybe a little too toasted). The croissant was huge, which was a nice surprise, but it wasn't buttered, which I definitely prefer. I also wish they had more bagel options available when I went, and I'm personally not a fan of applying my own cream cheese -- part of the bagel experience for me is having it done for you. It also seems like the only add-on option now is cream cheese, which is a little disappointing if you're hoping for a full sandwich or variety. On the plus side, there's parking right outside, which is always appreciated. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, just not great either. I might give it another try someday, but it's not at the top of my list.

During the week, there is plenty of parking if you want to stop in for your morning coffee and it's conveniently located right on the walk to the train. On the weekend, the shop was bustling with customers and felt very cozy and welcoming. The coffee is great and the baked items are delicious! read more

Hands down, the BEST coffee - not just in Ossining, but the Hudson Valley! Nice ambiance, art, and everyone is friendly. They make my cappuccino just the way I like it, and I'm a snob. It's also great that they have plenty of parking right across from their front door, so I know I don't have to circle around looking for a spot (which means my dose of coffee makes it down the hatch that much quicker!). read more

A home away from home. A welcoming sanctuary with a chill vibe. Love the art exhibits. They serve the best latte with the tastiest treats that are locally sourced. I have food allergies and they have so many gluten free and vegan options and they are always very careful with my order. Check out the open mic nights and enjoy a friendly crowd. read more

Anything is usually better than Starbucks but I was stationed in Italy in the military and this is very close to what you get in Italy...not whatever that ripoff Starbucks is serving up. read more

On the night I came they were hosting an open mic in support of/ collaborating with a local organization - the vibes were great and the staff were super friendly and great to talk to. It was really cool to see how this place is a gathering point in the local community. My friends each got a dirty chai and I tried a seltzer w peach syrup - 10/10.

The owner was great. We decided to sit in the back of the cafe to have our coffee & muffins and it was very rustic amd cozy. I highly recommend coming here and giving them a try.

Love this place!…read more I've been here a few times, and it's been a great experience each time. I love their lattes and hot chocolate here. They also have a variety of pastries available, as well as coffee merch and other items. The inside is very spacious with comfortable seating, and they have a larger space if you wanted to hold a gathering or event here. On the weekends, they also frequently have pop ups and other events. I can't wait to stop back here again soon!

I'm not going to lie if I say that sometimes I pick sort of stylish-worthy places for my curiosity…read more(guilty). What a difference in design from the previous Brrzaar café in this same spot years ago. The color on all the walls adds a minimalist+chic feel but keeps the clean look that only a white paint provides! It's the perfect balance, in my opinion. If it's an upbeat café you're after, this husband+wife team at LuDy (named after the couple's 2 children) are bringing their Melbourne coffee culture to quaint Irvington, NY. They partner with Proud Mary Coffee to bring coffee to the masses, Flour Power from Pelham, NY to offer scrumptious baked goods and Spirit Tea. Judging by the number of people I found sitting at the tables chitchatting with their friends/co-workers, etc during my Tuesday 11am visit, this is the place for a hangout over bites and beverages. But do also know, LuDy is loud. I'm not sure if people nowadays know common conversation 101 courtesy using a normal volume. Anyhow. Since their June '24 opening, LuDy's owner is setting himself apart in the community and is the epitome of a friendly neighborhood cafe. And service from him, the morning I was here, was pure gentlemanly as he located a chair for me to sit at one of the empty tables. Thank you! My hibiscus+lemongrass+ ginger root 'Rosella Tonic' iced tea was refreshing. What would've taken my hot chocolate (made with a chocolate sauce) to the next level would've been a darker chocolate kind. But the barista zhuzhed up my drink with a pattern like it was coffee. Thank you again!

Three stars. This spot is super popular during tourist season largely because of the TikTok hype,…read morebut the space itself is pretty small and stuffy. Because it was so cramped, we couldn't easily browse or try some of the other items we had our eyes on, like the samosas or empanadas. We ended up getting the Cheeky Monkey, which was a decent little bite, and tried a couple of their specialty drinks. The "Chaider" (apple cider with chai) was alright--pretty much exactly what you'd expect it to taste like. On the other hand, the "Mud Wrestle," which sounded promising as chocolate milk blended with espresso, was a major letdown and just tasted like a watery slush. Overall, it's not terrible, but between the cramped atmosphere and the misses on the menu, it just wasn't worth the hype or the money.
