I was greeted when I approached the counter to order my $7.25 oat milk latte (before tip). They didn't take my name, which is my biggest coffee shop pet peeve, but luckily it wasn't busy so I was able to hear when they called out my drink. The latte was good and I could tell the espresso was high quality. Unfortunately I couldn't get the wifi to connect, so it's a good thing I had my book with me. The table I chose (high top with metal chair) was not super comfortable and part of the table was broken, so it was a little precarious. The bathroom was clean. It's a cool concept, as they also have a bar serving beer and wine, and it looks like a nice community space with events. And it's dog-friendly. If I lived in the area I think I would come here often!

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!

A quick Google search led me to AB's Cafe N Grill, and I'm glad it did. I called ahead to see if they could make one of my favorite breakfast items, a breakfast burrito. I spoke with one of the owners, who was friendly and happy to make one even though it was not an issue at all. That willingness to accommodate a customer made a great first impression. Parking was probably the biggest challenge. It can be a little difficult in this area, and I ended up parking at the nearby gas station. Once inside though, everything was worth it. I ordered a breakfast burrito filled with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, hash browns, and sausage. It was simple, but sometimes simple is exactly what you need. The burrito was toasted, which gave it a nice crunch on the outside while keeping everything hot and melty inside. Every bite was packed with fluffy eggs, creamy cheddar, flavorful sausage, and just enough freshness from the pico de gallo to bring everything together. It was hot, crunchy, creamy, and incredibly satisfying. This was exactly the hearty breakfast I was looking for, and it absolutely hit the spot after a long morning. If you're in the area and looking for a great breakfast, I highly recommend stopping by AB's Cafe N Grill. Great food, friendly owners, and a meal that exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

Every dish is packed with fresh, authentic flavor and consistently excellent quality, specific to my healthy requests. PAUL's Favorites: My go-to is the Chicken Tikka (wet), which is incredibly tender with a rich, perfectly spiced sauce that I always crave. The Dry Chicken Tikka is another favorite--despite the name, it's juicy, flavorful, and a healthier option without sacrificing taste. The Gobi Manchurian is outstanding, with crispy cauliflower in a bold, savory sauce that's impossible to stop eating. I also love that they bake my samosas, which are wonderfully crisp, lighter than the traditional fried version, and filled with deliciously seasoned potatoes. Whether I order the Green (Saag) Paneer or the Red (Masala) Paneer, the fresh and vibrant sauces make every meal memorable, and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves exceptional Indian food. 6 STARS
