Smores
Fernando F.

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.

Banana brûlée latte
Dara W.

I keep coming back here for the banana brûlée latte because it is absolutely delicious! There are so many other drinks I want to try but cannot get over how good this latte is! Everyone who works here is also so friendly, I will definitely be back on the regular.

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!

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

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.

Banana brûlée iced coffee

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!

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.

Iced Smores Campfire Iced Latte and the Peach Lemonade (my favorite drink)
Jasmine J.

This establishment has become my go to almost everyday. It has replaced my starbucks runs. My first time here I had one of the Fall Season drink The Banana Bruleé Latte Iced and I have tonsay it was so delicious I continued coming back. Since then I've tried a bunch of other drinks and snacks. The place is so welcoming, natural light and so peaceful, it definitely will keep you coming back. The staff is so friendly and informative about the drinks they serve. The time and effectiveness of the drinks show that they enjoy crafting these drinks.

Chocolate Croissant
Alexa S.

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

Inside vibe. Comfy chairs
Jess L.

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.

Tiramisu Latte (Iced or Hot) and a Ham and Cheese Croissant
Kareena M.

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!

Banana brûlée latte is delicious!
Edward K.

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!

sugar cookie matcha, Tiramisu Latte (Iced or Hot)
ellis b.

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.

They also had some chairs to dine outside right next to Jerseys Mike. So they share outdoor tables. I was taking my girls school shopping and on the way we stopped here to get some coffee and pastries. The service was great! They offered us some sample tasting of the coffee flavors they had available for the day. One tasted like chocolate milk and the other was a mild sweet honey flavor but you could taste the coffee and that is what I was happy about. The pastries were really good too. I had this chili cheese and one my youngest had a classic cheese. My other one decided to go with a maple glaze donut. We thought everything was good and we were going to make a return on the next shopping trip. On my way out I did purchase a sea salted chocolate chip cookie, that was delicious! So this gets a thumbs up for now, may two on the next visit, we shall see. Happy Yelping!

He bought me a delicious muffin too. It is quaint atmosphere with a yuppy feel! Note: in the morning, there People working on Lab tops and their cellular devices.

They had a few tables inside where you could sit down and get some work done, as well as a couple tables right out front. There's a restroom inside too which is great. The owner recommended the GF muffins, which I was very excited to try, and my husband got a blueberry muffin. Both were delicious! I ordered a matcha and my husband got a vanilla latte. He really enjoyed his coffee. The owner asked for feedback on the matcha as he received a bad review yesterday about it. I let him know that it could use more matcha powder to improve the flavor, because the matcha wasn't really coming through. It was sweetened enough for me with honey, but you can always ask for more if you want yours sweeter. He asked for feedback which I think is awesome. Many places never do. You can tell he cares about his customers and his business. Only reason this wasn't a 5 for me was because of the matcha, but I think with more powder, it would be great. Excellent service and vibe. I will be back!
