    a man and a woman at the bar
    Bill T.

    This is a cute little place near the train station. On an early drive to Danbury one weekend we decided to stop here for a bit. The place is smallish so if you want a table there could be a wait on a busy weekend morning. We sat at the bar. Service was friendly, although slow and distracted like the guy had something else he needed to do. I was able to order a coffee and a breakfast sandwich. The sandwich was fine, a little extra greasy, but tasty. Coffee was okay. If you're nearby, it's a decent place for a bite.

    Egg Sandwich with Avocado & Cheddar

    Still serving great food at Jay Street. Best coffee in Katonah. Friendly staff & very accommodating. On the egg sandwich, I asked to swap out the bacon for avocado , the American cheese for cheddar, leave off the hash browns, get the excellent Brioche burger bun toasted and get home fried potatoes on the side. Everything was executed perfectly!

    Convenient spot while waiting for friends or family to get off the train. Good food, good location, really great outdoor seating

    Omelette with spinach and cheese

    I always love going to towns I haven't been to in a long time and Katonah was a place I hadn't been to since I was young. I had always heard good things about Jay Street and it was a good halfway point to meet up with a friend. We came here around noon on a Sunday and we had about a 15 minute wait after giving our name to the hostess. (They will call you when your table is ready). The dining room is pretty spacious and they also have space at a bar. We both ordered an omelette. The side potatoes and multigrain bread were a great addition. I also had ordered an iced coffee, which was very good! I would come back here!

    A great place for yummy and healthy brunches. They offer more than the traditional brunch options, but also have items like matcha latte. My friend especially liked their beef chili. Service was superb. We were the only table that insists on sitting outside on a chilly Saturday, the waiters and waitresses helped to set up a heating fan for our table, and checked on us quite frequently. Would recommend.

    The breakfast was so good! I ordered the "perfect plate" on the breakfast menu which was amazing. The coffee was also pretty good. The bistro interior is very cozy and clean.

    Stopped by for lunch and came upon this cute little spot. It was a beautiful day but all of the tables outside were full. We decided to eat inside. We were greeted and seated right away. Server was nice, ordered our lunch which was phenomenal. The salad I had was so good. Dressing was spot on! We then ordered dessert and it may have been the best tiramisu I've had. So light and tasty. I'll definitely be back.

    Loved this caprese sandwich so much!

    Love love this place! Just moved to Katonah and on a sweltering day (the day we closed on our house), we celebrated here over a delicious caprese sandwich with grilled chicken and a big coffee-Oreo milkshake and vanilla egg cream. Their breakfast sandwich is also the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had - it's got hashbrowns inside snd the whole combo of cheese, egg, bacon, and fluffy brioche is so outrageously great. Wow! Loved everything and would get it all again. The caprese comes with a big bowl of salad with fresh cherry tomatoes and I'm even craving that again. Can't wait to come back and try more. 5 stars!!!!

    Small little café in the downtown area of Katonah, right across from the train station. Parking is limited in this area, you may have to walk a bit good amount of indoor seating. Nice, brunch menu. I have the fried chicken sandwich which was excellent, a very healthy portion, although they use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast a bit pricey, but that is what you can expect for that area.

    Saturday, 11th April 2026 North Salem, NY…read more Sunny 66°F When we heard about Purdy's being one of the very few Westchester restaurants to receive a Michelin plaque for their stewardship of Farm-to-Table cuisine, we knew we had to visit. Blue Hill at Stone Barns (2 Michelin stars) and La Bastide by Andrea Calstier (1 Michelin star) are the only two Westchester County restaurants with Michelin Status. Purdy's rugged farm based surroundings on this clear bright morning were a bit unusual for what one would expect. However, once we entered the landmark old house with its original well appointed ambience of 1775 and beguiling aromas coming from the kitchen, we knew we were in for a treat. Menus were not quite ready (printer problem?) upon arrival to our table. Once we received the menu of the day - we knew what to order, plus we were accompanied by a great friend who happens to be a wonderful chef who knew the place well, and she is quite familiar with what to choose based on the well-mannered upper echelon Westchester locals. Here is what we ordered. Firstly, a bottle of bubbly to celebrate our birthday guests. Followed by ... STARTERS: Clam Chowder Polenta Fries Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail MAINS: Wild Mushroom Bucatini Nova Scotia Halibut Scottish Salmon Everything was delicious and well plated. Our waiter, Sean was warm, friendly and efficient overseeing his assistants who brought out the cuisine, and cleared the table items carefully. We will definitely return. 5 easy stars Thank you!

The service and food, on the other hand, were quite a mixed bag. We ordered a margherita pizza, pancake tacos, steak and eggs, and French toast with a side of sausage--the pizza, at least, was good. However, the "French toast" was more like an anemic panini press trying to pass as French toast. The steak and eggs comprised of a fairly well-cooked (that is, it was the right temperature) yet underseasoned steak of a relatively dubious cut, underseasoned home fries, and eggs done wrong (sunny side instead of over easy). The lattermost was the start of the problem, as I was willing to give it a shot, but found the texture off-putting. In light of this, I brought the problem to our server Adalia, who brought it to her manager Elvia. Thankfully I had someone else with me to tell me what happened: Elvia came over without addressing me on their error, silently took a look at my plate and instructed Adalia to have the kitchen put the eggs back on the fire. She takes my plate to extract the eggs, and brings them back (unsurprisingly) completely overdone, first in Elvia's hands, then in Adalia's for her to serve; we send for a refire, and they come back correct 7 minutes or so after I've already finished eating. Considering the hassle it took to get them, I couldn't trust it enough to eat, leading them to waste as well. After all was said and done, the GM Amer comes over to see how things were, and was thankfully helpful and understanding of our situation. Here's the rub: I was initially willing to overlook the steak, the home fries, and even the eggs if the error was properly ameliorated. Adalia and Amer both did very well, and I'm grateful for them for that; Elvia, on the other hand, managed to break the chain of competent customer service by directing the server to handle the problem in a way that was set up for failure (if you mess up an egg, it's an immediate refire because of how the egg cooks in the first place -- Amer also arrested to that policy) all without addressing us and taking accountability, due to negligence or whatever else. Not only that, but when sending the incorrect eggs over the second time, she couldn't even bring it to us herself--it would have been easy, seeing as she was the one that originally had them--and left Adalia and her tip to potentially take the fire if the patrons happen to be angry. Mistakes are fine--everyone makes them--but I'd describe this as cowardly more than anything else, and I take issue with that in particular from a leadership standpoint. While Amer graciously extended an invitation for a better experience next time, I can't say I'll be taking him up on the offer when their service and food are this misaligned; unfortunately, a disappointment overall.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants in Westchester…read moreRelaxed atmosphere, delicious food, attentive staff The owners Lisa and Dan are lovely and friendly. They are hands on and ready to help!

    We arrived here around 12:30pm, I anticipated a wait due to the holiday (Juneteenth). We were told…read moreno more than 20 mins. We do notice two empty tables outside but understood that maybe they don't want to seat people and overwhelm the kitchen. After about 10 mins of waiting we're offered one of the tables that had been empty. (Which were outside). No menus given but we noticed the QR codes. Guy comes by and drops off cups w ice and a carat of water. Waiting... waiting.... Finally another server comes and asks if we'd like to order drinks. Yes, and our meals bc we've been sitting here for quite some time. We get our coffees and there's a lot of grinds at the bottom of the cups, server switches it out. We finally get our food and two of the three meals were not hot, not even warm. But we're hungry and eat but when the server checks in my sister says "honestly for as long as we waited we would've expected hotter food, these two (egg dishes) are cold." He apologizes and says he'll let the manager know. The manager, who I can only assume is Lisa (based on the responses I'm seeing here on Yelp) came out and said I hear the food is cold? And was very aggressive right off the bat. Saying everything comes right out of the kitchen and to the table, we don't have heat lamps. Offers to "reheat" the food (but how, the microwave?) we're already half way thru the dishes as we had waited a long time. My sister tried to express that after waiting for a table, service and grounds in the coffee that this was disappointing - the manager interjects w "well did you tell him did he give you a new one" She does NOT take criticism very well, she's abrasive and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. She then came out (after I assume finding out the whole story and how long we had been there) she said she would take the two items off the bill, which we weren't gunning for. As we just gave honest feedback when asked how everything was. We then noticed her come and check in on the other tables outside bc people who got there well after us also got their food at the same time... As much as I'd want to come back and try it again bc the promise is there. The manager was such a turn off, that I would be spending my money there, again.
