Love it here. This is one of the best local coffee shops I've been in. They have comfortable seating indoors and plenty of nearby parking. This location is spacious with a large coffee bar. They also have pastries and baked goods. Best latte I've had! read more

This is honestly a great work from home space in the Westchester area! Their strawberry cold foam is unmatched & makes you want more every single time! They play music in the cafe just in case you're looking to work or meet up with a friend with some good tunes playing in the background. The staff are very kind & give great advice to customers coming in for the first time. This is my new go-to spot!! read more

The Formosa Coffee - Strawberry Shortcake Latte & a Croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scarsdale, New York

Updated review (April) Stopped by yesterday and sadly have to remove a star. I drive half an hour just to order the banana brûlée latte and it's perfect, however it's missing the real star of this drink and what makes it stand out from the other cafes - the brûléed banana slice. I asked the barista but she replied they're no longer adding this. Not sure about the other specialty drinks. Otherwise, tasty drinks and pastries as usual. Highly recommend their new refresher! Bonus note: ordering your drink is now via self service kiosks. read more

Y'all, I've never had a smore's latte that actually tasted like a campfire. I was supremely impressed by this. The attention to detail when making this was insane. From toasting the marshmallows to the entire drink feeling like I was in the outdoors, I had no notes for a better drink. The price was well worth the drink and taste. There were crackers that I tasted, had the drizzle on the foam/smores and was delicious all around. I had my doubts from having other smores lattes that missed the mark entirely, but I have to take my hats off to a place like this. Outside of that, I was able to sit down and work in there.Wifi was good and it was pretty easy to grab a table, use the Wifi and just get some work done. Not too busy and a great drink. Expect me back. read more

Driven by this place many times..stopped in today for a nice Fall Latte. Place is clean, spacious, and has a nice chill vibe. The staff is friendly and their Tea and Coffee menu is vast. Great little gem right in the heart of Scarsdale to enjoy a cop of coffee or tea, read a book, or just relax...especially if you crave a delicious coffee but don't want to drive around the corner to a corporate Starbucks. Also, Pet Friendly; ) ENJOY! read more

Formosa landed on my radar after observing it as I was driving through Eastchester; my go-to supermarket and hairdresser are in the vicinity, and as soon as I saw the sign outside that said "coffee" my ears perked up. Since I had just finished my monthly coif, I thought it would be a good idea to walk over and check it out - so off I went. Formosa is nestled among a couple of other businesses on the ground level of a small building. Walking in, I was greeted by a pretty spacious sitting area with tables throughout; the large windows at the front let in a decent amount of light. They did a good job with the decor - it was subtle get enough to make a really comfortable space; they worked with what they had. The menu has a variety of coffee and tea beverages - both standard and Taiwanese. They also have a few pre-packaged snacks and some baked goods. I was just looking for coffee and went with their cold brew with some coconut milk. The coffee was good - they shook the milk into the coffee which made sure it was good and mixed - and it had a bold flavor. Service was good, they were super friendly and my beverage was ready promptly. Overall, I had a great first experience at Formosa - this area needed a coffee shop so I'm glad they opened. I would definitely return to check out more of their menu. read more

Went back for another banana brûlée today--this time it didn't taste the same. It wasn't as flavorful, definitely way less banana flavor. I asked the barista what changed and she said the banana milk is different now. It's changed permanently. I don't particularly like the change and I probably won't be back for another banana brûlée read more

I've been driving by and today I had time to try a coffee. My regular order, cold brew with oat milk. I walked in, several people were seated and on their screens. Two folks were behind the counter. I wasn't greeted, walked over to look at the food offerings and one barista said - "we are really busy so you can just order over there" and points. I was clearly confused and she pointed again and said "you can order over there at the kiosk and when we can get to it we will". I then said, "oh, I just want a cold brew" again she pointed at the kiosk, and I left. I guess I'm too old for that nonsense. read more

I love the self service, sometimes I feel like an introvert and don't wanna speak to anyone so that was awesome. Definitely the best coffee I've had in Westchester and the vibes and inside were really amazing. read more

Very good coffee, friendly service; I would skip the pastries if we were to return (we tried the everything croissant and the bacon/egg/cheese croissant - even toasted up, they were on the salty side/underwhelming especially for the price ($6.50/pastry)). The coffee itself is where it's at - we loved both the banana brûlée and salted cream iced coffees. Smooth, balanced, and perfectly prepared. Scarsdale is lucky to have this taste of Taiwan! read more

The Formosa Coffee - Banana brûlée iced coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scarsdale, New York

I consider myself a coffee snob. We are visiting New York and I always like to try mom and pop coffee shops. Yelp did not disappoint. Service: 10 out of 10. The man waiting on us was patient and answered our questions. He told us the pistachio latte had homemade pistachio mix. He talked to us about our preferences of coffee choices and how he could make them less sweet. Ambiance: 100% zen feeling. Cute, relaxing and clean. The coffee: 10 out of 10. soooo delicious. I ordered the pistachio iced coffee and can say this was one of the most delicious coffees I've ever had. The lady barista took special care to make sure the visual presentation was beautiful. My husband loved his black coffee as well. The coffee was smooth and freshly brewed. We will definitely be back. read more

Hello Yelpers! Today I stopped into Formosa Coffee and it's 5 Stars for me. The ambiance it great for work and to catch up with friends. It's clean and welcoming. The barista was polite and friendly. I had an iced caramel latte and it was made to perfection. I added the chocolate croissant because I deserved it! It was flaky and buttery and delish. Stop by Formosa, you will thank me later read more

I enjoyed checking out this new coffee spot. Jason, the owner, was very kind and seemed genuinely to care about his customers. I admit that I had figured there would be some more items that were less traditional coffee shop drinks, but the two I got were good. I particularly liked the shaken yuzu espresso, which was two shots of sweet, lemon-like goodness. The baked goods looked scrumptious, though I did not have any. I love the spacious feel, and the chairs look so inviting. I can't wait to come back again and hopefully stick around a little longer. read more

Tried this spot since it was in the area and it was pretty good! The ambiance is great, lots of tables for you to come to do work or hang around. There are so many options to choose from, my friends and I got a variety to try. Tiramisu latte was presented beautifully and tasted great, the banana brûlée latte was so yummy, it didn't taste like laffy taffy artificial banana and it blended really well with the espresso. Sugar Cookie latte was on the sweeter side but none the less, delicious. I definitely will be coming back to try some items i didn't get to today! read more

Went here for the first time today. At the register was this lovely girl named Roha. She was so positive, enthusiastic, and most of all, kind. She assured that my coffee was just as I liked, and really went the extra mile. I haven't seen that kind of service in a while, so I wanted to make this review. Glad to see people in the service industry still giving out proper service. Great job Roha, I will be coming again, thanks to you! read more

Absolutely loved The Formosa Coffee shop! Headed there on a Saturday afternoon with my wife for a nice coffee shop date, nice chance to sit around and talk while caffeinating ourselves. Solid amount of customers but we were served quickly. The gentleman working the counter (the owner) was very nice and when I asked, he explained what made his coffee different. He explained that his coffee beans are sun dried on the Taiwanese farm and then lightly roasted by him in their shop. My wife selected a shop specialty banana brûlée latte and I went with their Americano. We found a comfortable table to sit at, in a clean, bright and modern cafe. My wife really enjoyed the banana brûlée latte, I tried it and enjoyed it as well. It was impressive that something that sounds overly sweet is actually a really well balanced drink. I absolutely loved the Americano, I drink it without anything added and that allowed the coffee to truly shine. I can see what he meant about the light roast, really a smooth cup of coffee. As we were leaving, the nice woman working behind the counter asked how we liked the coffee and then gave us some ideas for next time. Looking forward to it! read more

I love the coffee from the Formosa. The flavor is so amazing, strong and rich and the quality has stayed consistent from opening. I absolutely love the creative special coffee drinks as well which are never too sweet but are perfectly elevated. Sometimes I get 1-3 drinks because I can't decide what I want, and sip throughout the day! The best!! read more

i'm not a yelp reviewer, but i had such a positive experience that i had to share! i myself am a barista who works at a specialty coffee shop, so i can be picky and snobby when it comes to coffee/ matcha. i was so impressed! my boyfriend got a matcha, which they hand whisk and i got the tiramisu latte, both were AMAZING! whoever is making these recipes is definitely talented, the flavors were balanced and delicious! the girl who helped us was so sweet and patient while we figured out what to get (our first time) and was super flexible too. we're bronx residents so were not typically in the area, but we will certainly be making the drive again. read more

The Formosa Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scarsdale, New York

Light and airy, this new Eastchester coffee bar has an LA feel. There's a lot of space and you may want to linger. The servers were friendly, another plus. We tried two iced coffees on a hot June day. I'd give the nod to the salted cream over the cappuccino, but I could not discern what made these Taiwanese. The best things were the pastries, a butter crumb scone and a croissant. The latter reminded me of the exalted one from La Cabra, although on the small side. On the way out, I bought a bag of beans - which were quite pricy at $20.00 for eight ounces. I made the coffee using a drip machine and it was very strong, wondering if it was all or part Robusta. read more

Yummy lattes - the pastries look delicious as well. Nice and spacious too not like a lot of places around.

Lovely ambiance and fast service with a friendly staff. Plenty of seating and outlets for working. The tea was fresh and nice though I really can't get behind the price. Almost $9 for a specialty tea, without tip. I'm glad I tried it, though I just can't justify spending that much for one beverage. read more

I like this hip chic boutique style coffee shop in Scarsdale with its cool L.A. VIBE , that reminds me of my many aimless mornings in southern California. Spacious seating set up , easy to see menu board with list of different hot and cold beverages and pastries for the day .prices are very reasonable , staff are very friendly and I really enjoyed my cappuccino and the almond croissant was a perfect match . I would recommend the Formosa coffee store without a doubt and I was in no rush to leave . I will be back for more good coffee and sweets .4.5 stars on my yelp meterm read more

I think we may have found our favorite local place to get our coffee from now on! Owner Jason and Manager Briana are so personable, you just want them to be your best friends and in a spacious and welcoming storefront! And on top of it all, the coffee is a cut above what you'd expect in Westchester! Bright and flavorful, after trying their cold brew, I had to buy a bag of Jason's medium roast whole beans from Taiwan to take home! Will definitely be back and could see that we will likely be regulars! They get pastries delivered from Balthazar and Jason also brings in Taiwanese Pineapple Cakes (my favorite) and various mochi. Thank you Jason, Briana, and the rest of the crew, welcoming us for a wonderful Sunday morning experience! read more

So after coming here almost every day for about 6 months now, i can definitely say this is my favorite spot. This shop has a such a great atmosphere, owners and employees. It is always so clean and cozy and very welcoming. One of the few places i've been to where the staff actually takes pride in what they're making and cares about their customers enough to make great connections and engage in conversations with them. For example, Bri knows everyone by name and always goes above to ensure that me and as many other customers are more than comfortable and satisfied. Every drink i've tried has been really good but my favorite is a Salted caramel ColdBrew with the Miso Vanilla Cold foam. Overall, i think it's a great place to hang out, catch up with friends, study or just chill and highly recommend it. read more

I am a devotee of The Formosa Coffee establishment. And I don't even drink coffee. The tea is amazing! But I agree with others, that it is the staff that is the draw.
