The iced brown sugar espresso was delish but wayyy too overpriced (7.75 - $1.00 extra from soy milk) and an extra .50 cent charge for half and half. The churro cube croissant was good but not great.

I stopped by on a recent Sunday after a lovely walk around Lake Congers…read more Upon entering, I noticed the decor is tasteful, elegant and provides a warm ambiance overall. I was then warmly welcomed with the most sunny smile by Stephanie who offered to seat me right away. Since I wanted take out instead, she provided me with a menu and pointed out wonderful options and made great suggestions. I decided on the Turkey chili which seemed like a solid choice. While I was waiting I was introduced to the chef, Christopher and the owner, Ramona. Both Christopher and Ramona were a joy to talk to and despite being busy, were kind enough to spend a little time with me! My meal was prepared and packaged in hardly any time at all and leaving actually felt like I was leaving home! Honestly, it's hard to find such wonderful family values and it was a short but wonderful experience. My turkey chili was rich and delicious and hit the spot. Do yourself a favor soon, take a ride over to Ramona's in West Nyack and try out some of the home cooked with care treats on their menu. Look for Stephanie's million dollar smile! Highly highly recommend.

It was difficult to find as there is a small sign by the driveway leading to the parking lot and restaurant. The building is set in, not by the street, and there was no obvious signage. It looks like a simple house in the parking lot. Upon entering, the room felt quaint and cozy. We were immediately seated as we went during the week and it was quiet. Hubby had the pancakes with sausage and I ordered the omelette. The pancakes were tasty and not dense. The sausages were unfortunately 3 small breakfast sausages. For an additional $4, 2 fat sausages would have been nice. My omelette was good but I don't know if I would call it fluffy. The eggs were flat and the only "fluffy" part maybe that the inside of the omelette was slightly undone. Coffee was nice and rich. I gave this place 4 stars because there was nothing wrong and the food was good. Although this place isn't mind blowing, I think if I lived here it would be a nice regular place for brunch. Definitely a place to try for locals.

My chicken and waffles were excellent, and my wife really enjoyed her omelette. There was plenty of seating and parking nearby, which made things even easier. What really stood out was the staff.

That level of care really means a lot. We loved our visit and will definitely be back.

A cute small-town Cafe that has a surprisingly large menu, and slow but friendly service…read more On a Friday afternoon, this place was bustling. We got here at the exact wrong time with a couple of people ahead of us but after we were seated (35 minutes later), several tables had opened and subsequent folks had zero wait. They have a rather large menu (plus a page of specials) for such a small place that includes breakfast and various egg and pancake dishes, sandwiches, wraps, soups, coffees and teas and sweet items. Items range on average between $10 to 17. Compared to other places in the area, the prices are decent. I enjoyed the chicken Philly sandwich with a salad and the goat cheese and mushroom wrap also got fair reviews (only thing is the mushrooms could have been cooked down a little more). The sweet potato fries weren't oily at all. We got the banana pudding (ok) $6 and the brownie was good but cold. Generally the food is good but probably doesn't use the most quality ingredients and lacks some finesse. The dishes also came on plates that were a bit cramped. They don't seem to have a lot of help around the floor so cleaning up after tables, taking orders and getting your check all aren't quick endeavors. But the server was nice and you feel good supporting a local business. There's a very small foyer and waiting area and it's hard to get someone's attention until they are ready to seat more people. A couple of the tables probably could have been used more efficiently and get customers seated faster (like two people taking up 4 chairs). The parking lot is pretty small and seems like it can fill up. That strip is home to other things like a deli, Thai place, pizza place, nail spa etc. A little further down the road is a small park that has parking as well.

My wife enjoyed an Asian noodle salad. I loved the poached egg dish that featured Hollandaise, smoked salmon, and was served on a Portuguese muffin. Really nicely prepared! Unsweetened tea was also good. We look forward to returning!

They had some interesting looking thick quiches, things like croissants, cakes, tarts and macarons (the girl behind the counter corrected my friend by saying "macaroon" which is technically incorrect). I'm a sucker for a good bread pudding but i should have reconsidered since that was the thing they seemed to have plenty of. They didn't heat that or the pear Tartlett up; eating them both cold was unsatisfactory (I know we should have said something but then a line was forming) and I felt sick after eating the bread pudding (perhaps too rich and just too cold and sad). I didn't feel very comfortable in the space, as I was expecting something more quaint and charming vs. old and in need of a makeover and cleaning. This was one experience so I would give it another shot, maybe earlier in the day. Metered street parking or there's a municipal lot around the corner.

Enjoyed both baked goods for dessert later in the evening, very fresh and not overly sweet. Will certainly return to Ixchel!
