We found this Café while visiting family in NY. It is the perfect, home-town type atmosphere to have breakfast or brunch. The service was wonderful, all smiles and very friendly. Food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable too! I highly recommend this place to anyone. We will definitely be returning when we're in the NY area again! read more

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. The waitstaff were noticeably rude and ignored us while tending to other tables. In the end, we had to leave the place without even being served. I won't be returning. read more

The waitresses were rude and racist. Didn't want to serve or take our orders because of our race. People with this unnecessary entitlement is wild in this day and age. There was no fuss; just didn't want to serve us. If i could put zero stars, I would. read more

Service was amazing! Cute little place that you wouldn't even know was there. There is parking to the side of the building when you come up the driveway. The food was delicious. We had the French grilled cheese, the turkey chili, the caprese salad, and eggs/bacon. Presentation was also so thoughtful. Will be back! read more

Based on one of the previous Yelp reviews my wife and I decided to try Ramona's Cafe in West Nyack. Definitely our new go to spot for breakfast. Next we'll try lunch. My wife tried and loved The Prettiest French Toast (actual name - which was huge) with berries while I had a 3 egg omelette with cheddar cheese and sausage (came with toast and hash browns). The omelette which was absolutely delicious stayed hot through my entire time eating due to the serving plate being heated before serving. Obviously they pay great attention to detail. I did sample the French toast and it was outstanding. The servers were polite and there when you needed them but did not hover. We met the owner Ramona who was pleased with our comments. Will be going back soon, my wife said next week. read more

Delicious and so charming! Had the breakfast wrap with hard boiled eggs, ham and dill. read more

Great food. Small place but the food is great. Great coffee. Nice menu. Great customer service.

Traveling through and trying to find a place to fill our bellies between Long Island and Ithaca and this was the perfect little stop. You never know with these hidden little diners but this one was a gem. The eggs, omelets, pancakes were perfectly cooked and delicious. The caprese salad that my husband ordered looked amazing. Staff was super friendly. Tiny. Indoor or outdoor seating. Reasonably fast. Reasonably priced. This is a winner. read more

The atmosphere is such a cute lil mom and pop family vibe. The food is home cooked, flavorful, and a good size portion. The employees are amazing. 2 great servers. The chef was nice enough to help out and take our order while everyone else helped elsewhere. As a server- that's respectable. Anywhere I've worked chefs don't even offer to help. Not to mention this is my 3rd time back in a month.. I'll def be coming back, with friends! read more

Super cute little hidden gem. I found it when I was at the Palisades mall on Yelp searching for something to eat, and I'm so glad I did. When we got there, it was pretty much empty, but it filled completely while we sat there. Apparently, this place can get really busy although it's tiny inside, with maybe 5 tables. The mother and son who run this place are genuine and friendly and the food was cooked with love. read more

Lovely and cozy setting. Good menu offerings , and food is fresh and delicious. Staff is warm and friendly.

We enjoyed a light lunch in a charming cafe! We ordered the French Grilled cheese on a baguette and the Turkey and cheese wrap- both were delicious! the service was friendly and attentive. read more

Very cute hidden just right near the mall. I had the quiche Lorraine and husband shared a stack of pancakes with a side of bacon with my daughter. Everything tasted fresh and not frozen. Would definitely come again to support this small business! Food may take a little longer than "city service", but they make everything from scratch and worth the wait. read more

Love the atmosphere! Love the food! Love the hospitality! Love the cozyness! Cannot wait for the summer outdoor seating!! read more

We couldn't pass up a place with so many 5 star reviews so had breakfast here today on our way from NH to MD. Delicious omelette (crab and spinach so fresh!) and challah French toast. Yummy coffee, very friendly service inc. the chef, keeping a close eye from the kitchen pass through. read more

Nice cute cafe. We really wanted to try their food. But they don't take parties over 6 even we are willing to sit in separate tables.

Excellent!!! The birds nest was fabulous the food is so fresh the staff was so kind and accommodating

If I could give this place more stars, I would. Let's start with the ambiance. This charming restaurant, in a historic building, is always clean and well put together. Fresh cut roses adorn each table with white linen tablecloths and napkins. Frank Sinatra or other classic crooners charm you gently from the stereo and sitting down, you feel like you're at the classiest joint, despite how small the cafe is. There is a deck for those warm, sunny days and I have often found myself doing work or just relaxing as the delightful smells waft out from the kitchen. That brings me to the food. OMG. I honestly wanted to try everything on the menu, but I'm a terribly picky eater. And I found my favourite thing in the turkey chilli, a blend of meat and beans with the subtle spices tantalising the tongue. It's become my go to. I've also had the pancakes which are perfect and fluffy, and the sliders which were tasty even for me, who is not normally a fan of beef. Everything I've opted to have has been fresh and cooked to perfection. Segue into my next topic, the staff. From the first day I walked into Ramona's I felt so warm and welcomed. It was my first day at my new job and I found it entirely by accident, tucked away a couple blocks from my office. Ramona is just lovely and bubbly and wonderful. Her son, Chris, is the cook and is quick with a smile and a kind word. I love chatting with Laura, the waitress and overall just spending time at Ramona's is never a hardship. It's almost like coming home. So if you're in Rockland and looking for a charming, classy, warm, friendly, beautiful place with amazing food, look no further. Ramona's is the best! read more

Ramona's Cafe - Ready for lunch - Cafes Near Me - West Nyack, New York

I found out about this cafe while browsing Yelp for a place that had outdoor seating. I am so happy I found it. This place is a hidden gem. My friend and I went for lunch and found that the breakfast and lunch menu were available. She ordered the avocado toast and fruit parfait, while I got the Aloha bowl with pernil and the French grilled cheese( Brie with apricot preserves). The food was amazing! Everything we had was beyond our expectations. The pernil In the Aloha bowl had so much flavor. The parfait has honey in it which made it mouth watering. We were so impressed with the food!! The restaurant itself was very nice. We sat outside on the patio, which had great and comfortable seating. The service was excellent as well. The woman there was so kind. The cook in the back was also really nice. They both took great care of use. This is a place to try( and walk away satisfied). Our new favorite spot in Rockland County!! read more

I was first introduced to this cafe about a month ago by a friend. All I can say is this place really blew me away. Between the friendly service, quaint intimate atmosphere, and the quality of food, It's truly a hidden gem. I wanted to wait before writing this review to see if the overall quality would stay consistent and it did. I will say on the weekends when it's much busier, you will have to wait for food but IT IS WORTH IT. The chef, I believe his name is Chris always puts 100% into every dish. Its a small family-owned business and the food is amazingggg and very reasonable in price. Coffee is great too. Leo has always been my server every time I go and she is the cutest person ever. Very friendly and is always attentive. The mom and dad of the business are friendly and I always see them checking in with the customers. This place really sets the standard overall for how a family-owned cafe should be run. read more

It was my first time at Ramona's cafe & the food & service was good!! 10/10 would recommend!

Cutest quaintest cafe in rockland. Appears to be an older building, maybe a home that was converted into a cafe. It's so hidden you wouldn't know it existed unless you heard about it from other people or where most of us found it - yelp. The food was so good I've been coming here every weekend. The food tastes fresh and is well seasoned. The only thing better than the food is the sweet staff who are always attentive and patient. read more

We were greeted nicely. Food was good unfortunately, we were grossly overcharged and it took 1/2 hour to correct the bill. Sad to say, we won't return! read more

Outstanding little place slightly off the beaten path. Four entrees - every one of them was excellent. Poached eggs absolutely perfect. As another reviewer mentioned, the yogurt parfait was really really good - perfect mix of sweet and crunchy. Specific callout on the French toast. The best I have ever had (borrowed some from my younger son). Thick, tender, soft middle. Perfectly cooked. Very small, intimate place. Nice servers. One watch out - very easy to miss the parking lot - behind an inn. Trust your nav system. All around, great experience! read more

The best local breakfast spot by far! The food is always wonderful. The staff is very friendly and attentive. And the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. They have an outdoor patio which I have not had an opportunity to try - but am looking forward to on a nice day. I bring friends family and business associates when I want to treat them to a a special meal. A true hidden gem. My favorite by far. read more

My friend and I had the pleasure of experiencing Ramona's today for breakfast. Tucked away in a converted beautiful 1860s era home, The ambience the staff and the food more than definitely lived up to expectations. Although fairly busy especially for Thursday morning, we were greeted warmly By both the server and then the owner Ramona . We were promptly served with delicious coffee with Ramona describing the moonstruck breakfast which as it turns out was is something great to eat. Next to us a father and his children each ordered the pancakes and French toast. The kids (loudly lol) couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. We really had a great experience All the way around!! read more

My previous review was removed at the request of the owners for a perceived conflict of interest and Yelp does not provide a manner in which to contest the allegation. I am NOT a current or former employee, I'm not a competitor or anything of the like. I am a FORMER customer who has been to the location over 10 times. The owner may recall my wife calling to reserve a table and being told that it was too many people, when my wife questioned why, she became irate and said don't come here anymore. In addition... The chef is very rude to the wait staff and the food takes forever to come out. If you come here with more than two in your party, at least one of you will be watching everyone else eat. I've been here several times and the waffle maker doesn't work all the time. The pancakes and waffles are made with Aunt Jemima (or whatever it's called now). I saw the box in the kitchen. If you have a food allergy or need something prepared in a different manner, they are not happy about it and don't hide it very well. read more

Have been there MANY times! Their burritos are THE BOMB!! SO GOOD & everything there tastes homemade!!! One of my favorite places in Nanuet! read more

Great atmosphere. White table cloths with nice flower in the middle. It's the little things like this that make me happy. Open window kitchen so you can see the chef. He cares, it's his place and cooking is his passion. You can taste it in the food. My favorite is the aloha bowl. Wait staff is very friendly too. Nice outdoor seating as well. And it's a local bhsineWe will be coming here regularly. read more
