    My new favorite breakfast spot! I love a good breakfast and I swear diners and reasturants just aren't the same anymore. So I was super excited to finally make it to Pondfield. I ordered a cheese omelette with fries it came with a piece of bacon which was so good. I decided to get that with a bagel instead of toast, a side of bacon and an order of French toast. Everything was cooked perfectly, the bacon came out a bit too crispy so they remade it for me without a problem. The hash brown/potatoes and pancakes were also amazingly good! We literally loved everything and cant wait to go back and try a few things on the lunch menu. If you are looking to get good breakfast please stop by Pondfield. Make sure you have cash as they are cash only!

    Came here about an hour before closing on a Sunday, its small but we were able to get a table! I got a combo with two chocolate chip pancakes, sausage, bacon and eggs over medium with a side of toast. I also got a chocolate milk which was a Nesquik bottle which I haven't had in a while, the taste still holds up to when I was a kid! The pancakes were different but good! The sausage and bacon were regular and normal, nothing crazy. The eggs were probably a little overdone for my liking but I think I should've probably just asked for over easy since these yolks were barely runny at all. The sourdough was a great companion to the eggs though! The biggest downside to this place is that it's cash only. Very inconvenient and we didn't know until I showed up, luckily I had some on me and had enough for my friend who was with me. Overall a very laid back, casual, old school vibes. Solid, well balanced, quick breakfast!

    Toluca Bowl.  Pure authentic deliciousness.  Heavenly.  Yum!!!!

    What a great find. We were in Bronxville for an appointment and were hungry. Googled great breakfast in Bronxville and this popped up at 4.5 stars. First of all, shocked it's not sitting at a consistent 5 stars. When you walk in, feels like somewhere my dad took me in the 60's and we're talking original 60's. We sat down and the great service started there. My wife ordered the pancake special and I ordered the Toluca bowl. I won't speak to hers, though the one bite I got in, was fluffy and sweet. My Toluca bowl reminded me of my childhood in Mexico and California. It was pure perfection. If I didn't live an hour away, I would be there weekly. It was fresh and delicious. I am thankful I will be in Bronxville a few more times over the next few months. We will be back. Thank you again! So perfectly yummy. Julie and Deb

    I was visiting my grandma in Bronxille to help. her take care of the apartment when we decided to order brunch. I got to try the bagel with lox and cream cheese and I also split the breakfast burrito with my mom. The people who worked at the cafe were really nice. They had really strange hours for lunch and I really had a hankering for a burger. The breakfast burrito was ok. The tortilla was a little strange and it as dry, but drowning in sauce. The flavor was nice though. The bagel with lox and cream cheese was really good and I was happy with the drink selection. I ordered a diet coke. I noticed that they had some of the police k-9 unit trading cards and it was a great talking point because I have one too and they aren't that easy to obtain. They have to be gifted to you. This cafe must be a really special place.

    Wheat Toast

    Amazing food and service! The apple cinnamon French toast and the home fries with bacon, eggs, and whole wheat toast were so good! Our waiter was also amazing and super friendly and attentive! Highly recommend this place to others!

    We are back at Pinefield today for another amazing brunch. This is definitely our go to place for brunch in the area, and I would highly recommend it to anybody. Pondfield features all the familiar breakfast and brunch selections such as breakfast sandwiches, omelettes, pancakes, etc. But, the real joy of this place is the superb breakfast specials they offer. Each week, Pondfield publishes 10 or so different breakfast specials on their Instagram account--all generally Mexican-inspired dishes featuring ingredients like eggs, tortillas, Avocado, homemade salsa, and so forth. As for the interior, Pondfield is your typical diner, with booth and counter seating. Nothing special, but definitely homey! And, they don't take reservations (seating is on a first come, first serve basis). A final shout out goes to the amazing staff at Pondfield! Everyone is super nice and friendly, and they treat their customers like family.

    Banana pancakes.

    The breakfast was fresh and delicious . Fast and friendly service. It's a small "diner" style. The meals never disappoint.

    Friendly service. Very satisfied with the pancake special. Scrambled eggs were fluffy, bacon and sausage patty were very tasty. Pancakes were fluffy, could have had more vanilla flavor. There are only 5 tables and the counter stools will feel very cramped if you're tall like me. I didn't want to wait for a table so we got the 2 open seats at the counter. Will definitely wait for a table next time. I found what could be our new breakfast spot.

    We loved it! Simple, yet authentic American breakfast place! We will definitely come back! I do recommend it!

    Awesome food

    Delicious food. Everthing they cook is deliiiiiicious. The atmosphere is cozy. The space is very limited and then there is the wait time. But I don't care to wait cuz that food is so worth it. The coffee was sooooo good too. Which surprised me. I usually love 2 expresso shots and they don't have this but their coffee tasted surprisingly sooo good. I want to thank Sue, Sophia, Max and Aiden for the amaxing team that they make while working together in diff capacities and functions. Each 1 of you are awesome. Freindly, courteous, great attitude and smiley faces. Thank you so much for your service. That food!!!!!yummiest‍‍‍‍. I must add that they ONLY accept cash. No cards but they have an ATM machine available. While I think that sucks (because who carries cash these days) but I will not take off a star for that. They deserve the 5 stars!

The staff is welcoming and attentive, the space looks like it is always buzzing, and really gives you the feel of this is THE coffee shop in town. Where it falls short is in the cup. The coffee itself lacked freshness and the walls were lined with coffee beans that looked as if they had been sitting there for years with no clear dates to validate their freshness. There's plenty of choice on paper, but without roast dates or origin details, it's hard to know what you're getting--and the flavor reflects that. The brew came off dull, smoky, and overworked rather than expressive or balanced considering the advertised flavors and the price point. If you're looking for a comfortable place to sit, catch up with a friend, or soak in a classic small-town café vibe, this place delivers. But if great coffee is the goal, I'd head elsewhere. Enjoy the atmosphere--but temper your expectations when it comes to what's in the cup.

Apparently the donut purchase wasn't good enough. She also began to argue with me after advising that the very aggressive way she approached me was acceptable and not poor customer service simply because she "didn't curse". I say that all to say the treatment from management was disgusting and this is literally my first time writing a review. Might I add that at the time his occurred it was not rush hour, raining and one other customer was sitting inside. Had she asked in a respectful manner I would've taken it upon myself and purchased other items and complied with any other "rules" she established in her shop.
