When I really want a grilled cheese that's dairy free (since I have an allergy to dairy and eggs), this is my favorite place. The fact that they have platano maduros plus other great menu items is the icing on the cake. Service is always good. Love the drink options. Ambiance is always good too--we usually eat there. read more

The Green Bowl Cafe - Super Cheesy--The Vegan Soul - Cafes Near Me - Wappingers Falls, New York

TLDR: Great food when it arrives correctly, but WHY was a Bible verse written on the top of my bowl? I have ordered from The Green Bowl via Grubhub or Uber Eats 6 or 7 times. About half the time, my order is wrong in some respect. For example, I today ordered pinto beans and I received black beans. However, the food is always delicious, which is why I keep returning. Today's order came with an unbidden freebie -- a Bible verse on the lid of my rice bowl. (Matthew 5:6, to be precise.) read more

This was my first time really diving in for some authentic Dominican Republic food. I went with Tres Golpes, referred to as the three hits breakfast, this is also the national breakfast of the Dominican people. Dominican-style salami, fried cheese, and fried eggs served alongside mangú. Mangú, is boiled, mashed plantains and originated in West Africa. I was loving all the culture I was learning by simply dining here but what about the food right? Huge fan of the fried cheese, fried salami was okay, eggs basic but good, and the mangú I was a fan however it does not pack a ton of flavor in my opinion I also bought one Tequeno, which is a fried spear of wheat dough stuffed with semi-hard queso blanco. This is a popular snack in Venezuela. I was not a fan of this however as it was very tasteless. In my opinion it needed a dipping sauce of some sort. I was glad I tried the array of Dominican food however my girlfriend and I both agreed it wasn't our fav. Give it a try however as you may love it, and as you should be aware variety is the spice of life! As always people SYOY!!! read more

Breakfast smoothie was smooth and tasty. The price point was decent. Friendly atmosphere and vibe.

I was absolutely disgusted to find a water bottle cap inside my chicken chipotle wrap. It was not only shocking but raised serious concerns about the cleanliness and attention to detail in the kitchen. When I called the restaurant to inform them of the issue, the person who initially answered the phone did sound genuinely concerned, which I appreciated. However, my experience quickly went downhill when the "manager" or supervisor came on the line. Instead of addressing my concern professionally, she initially laughed when I explained what happened--which felt incredibly dismissive and unprofessional. To make matters worse, she casually mentioned that she didn't see any missing water caps, as if that somehow resolved my complaint. I even offered to bring back the half-eaten wrap as proof, but the conversation continued to lack empathy or responsibility. She then asked if I wanted a refund or a replacement wrap. At that point, I explained that I just wanted a refund, not more food from a kitchen where bottle caps end up in customer orders. The whole situation left me really unsettled--not just from the physical contamination, but from the lack of genuine concern. Overall, this experience makes me question the hygiene practices behind the scenes and the way customer complaints are handled. A simple apology and visible concern would have gone a long way, but instead I felt like an inconvenience. I will not be returning, and I seriously hope this business improves its training and attention to food safety. read more

Service was okay, somehow ran out of veggies for the veggie bowl at 1pm. Took about 25-30 minutes for a rice bowl. $30 for Flavorless meat and rice. read more

a cute enough casual/take out spot in a strip mall with nice enough staff but bc there's no system to manage/prioritize orders it's chaotic. also $10 for empanadas is ridiculous. The wait times are far too long for what's being offered and i saw someone throw away their smoothie (after noting they waited about 30 mins!!). i waited a lil over 20mins for an albeit freshly made and sizeable, but relatively bland empanada. also got my order wrong. womp womp. read more

Awesome little spot to check out if you are in the area. Super friendly and helpful staff. Very patient as you navigate the fairly large menu . Lots to choose from and very large portions which is always a plus. read more

Grabbed a quick lunch with my wife after a nearby cheer competition. Very clean and updated vibe. Nice and bright. Good seating for a quick meal. The woman working at the counter did a great job of recognizing that we were first timers and clued us in to the menu. It's pretty sizable. Lots of nice healthy options and it featured some great Latin American choices. My wife picked a salad and added chicken. The salad was fresh and the dressing was good. I went with a pernil sandwich (roast pork) on a tostones "bun". Very creative and well sauced with their dressing. Filling sandwich. I would certainly return. read more

It's always a warm, clean and pleasant experience when I come here. The service and natural light is always on point. I always get the yucca fries with pickled onions and they're fantastic. They have gluten free Dominican cake and organic gluten free chicken noodle soup right now. It's great to find an islander place that accommodates for allergies. It's a bit higher in the price range, it's very easy to pass $15/$20 per person. But the food is delicious (at least the yucca fries), there's Wi-Fi, tables, and a seating couch area that gives a "Friends" vibe. Overall a good lunch stop if you're in the area. read more

The Green Bowl Cafe - Yucca fries with pickled onions - Cafes Near Me - Wappingers Falls, New York

I loved the vibe of the green bowl cafe. You can sit there for hours, do your work, play board games, and enjoy yummy food and juices. They had a lot of options to select from salads, sandwiches, smoothies, juices, açaí bowls, and breakfast wraps. They even have South American food flavors. We ordered Venezuelan sandwiches that had plantain instead of bread. It was delicious and super heavy. My husband and I shared the sandwich. Then we ordered sunshine juice and one energy shot. Everything was great. Also, they use compostable containers. read more

Lovely selection, drink food and yummy! Very good light, nice staff, they have ice cream.

Update: now they're finally using Door Dash drivers. Unfortunately the employees can't seem to get an order right. Delicous food you won't be able to eat if you have dietary restrictions, because your choices will be ignored. read more

Breakfast- Breakfast 2 Go (smoothie): Lived up to its name. Tasty and light, but enough to start your morning. Lunch- The Queen: Delicious! Two hands, a plate and some napkins are needed! This sandwich is literally bursting with fresh, clean flavors. Snacks- Empanadas: A different spin as they are gluten free. Good taste- just different from what you're used to. I miss the flaky crust, but the corn meal like crust did not overpower the wonderful flavors of the beef and pork mixtures. The salads looked HUGE! Easy 2 servings in 1. The prices are a pinch higher than what I'm used to, but still respectable and manageable +(.50 - $1.00). You will now walk away hungry. They sell beer :) Family friendly. Clean & Comfortable atmosphere. read more

I'm gluten free & I just came here for the first time, I had the gluten free pernil empanad & omg it was so delicious first time I've had one in a good 6 years dough was bangin.. and I had the Cuban apreas soooo delicious.

This is for the newly opened one in the Poughkeepsie Galleria. Ordered a BEC on a roll. Soft scrambled, soft bacon. They got it right and within less than 5 minutes. It was pretty good, no complaints. There's an extensive menu with American food and Latin flavors. They have gluten-free and it vegan entrées. It's a welcome edition to the usual food court outlets Seating is in the food court. read more

This place has been on my list of places to try for the longest, and I finally went with my dad. The staff was very kind. My favorite thing was the ambience. Customers can enjoy comfortably lounging on sofas and love seats while waiting on their orders, and they had episodes of Jane the Virgin playing on the TV. Dining in is very comfy and casual as well. I had the vegan soul wrap and my dad got one of the salads. Both were tasty! They were just simple dishes that I felt I could make at home, so my socks weren't knocked off. But I'm very interested to come back and try the smoothies, rice bowls, arepas, and empanadas. read more

The service was great and the food amazing! The Yucca fries were off the chart! SO good! I had a rice bowl with mango salsa, grilled chicken, avocado and pickled onions. Hubby had a Cubano wrap and he also said his was delicious as well. We will definitely be back! Coffee is strong and good! read more

Such a gem in Upstate NY! The food was absolutely phenomenal and so flavorful! The Venezuelan food options are so well made and genuinely delicious! My friends and I all ordered the Iced Strawberry Passion Tea and it was so refreshing! My friend got the Salmon BLT with Yucca fries and was so blown away at how delicious it was and would definitely recommend it to any salmon lover! The yucca fries were so yummy and golden! I got the Chicken Pesto Panini and The Artist Arepa! OMGGG the pesto panini was to die for!!! The Artist arepa was so absolutely phenomenal! My other friend got the Shredded Beef empanadas and absolutely loved it, it was shredded beef with maduros, beans and cheese inside! She a loved the flavor profile! The staff was so kind and welcoming! The interior is so cute and cozy! It's a great spot to grab a bite and catchup with friends! I can't wait to go back! read more

I have to admit, when I first opened the cardboard carrier carton, I was a bit worried that I'd regret my dinner choice. Boy was I wrong. The big winner here was the corn flour shell. It carried the whole sandwich. The shredded chicken, cheese, and avocado were all pretty good, but the grilled arepa is what made this an above-average meal. I would definitely check this place out on my next trip to Dutchess Stadium. read more

The food and portions are decent, the empanadas were big, the arepas were stuffed and the meat was juicy. The yuca fries were bland and kind of stale. I would avoid those. When I'm in the area again I might get food here again, I've had better tasting Latin food though. They have an extensive menu with salads juices bowls breakfast lunch etc which was nice since you have a decent selection size to choose from. The indoor reminds me of a Starbucks structure, so if you're looking for a sit down meal this probs isn't the place. Overall 3.5/5 because the meat was juicy and their portions were decently sized. read more

The food is really good. A little pricey but well worth it. The service is pretty good and the staff are friendly and helpful with the menu options Overall pretty good. The seating area is small and can get crowded pretty quickly read more

My new favorite place. Genuinely felt the need to write this because of how much I love this place. First impressions you see salads, smoothies, açaí bowls and other breakfast foods, which are all fantastic and priced decently. Take a further look into the menu and you find the best empanadas I've had so close by! Try an arepanada if you're looking to treat yourself. The salmon BLT is pretty dang good, would've never thought to make that myself. Everything is so good and you can spend anywhere from $5-$30 on yourself. I've only ever gotten takeout and even then the fruit and meat are so fresh. So much better than another close by restaurant with a Latin menu that I took a chance on. read more

Had first ordered delivery from here and enjoyed the quality of the meal. Few weeks later I was able to stop at the establishment and I loved the space very welcoming and comfortable. Gives a cafe chill vibe. Staff was great and helpful upon placing my order. Food was fresh and ready in a decent time. They have different seating options as bar style seating or couch set up for your preference. Would recommend stopping by and supporting this business for breakfast or lunch (not sure open for dinner). read more

I've had this multiple times and it has always exceeded my expectations. It is all delicious and they have a ton of options. I will just say that because its all made fresh it does take quite awhile to get your food, so just give yourself time and order before you're starving read more

The Green Bowl blew me out of the water with their food and attention to detail! I had a bit over a week to food for an office party for 30 people. Due to the office COVID policy all 30 meals had to be individually packaged. I reached out to The Green Bowl on a coworker's suggestion. He said that not only was the food delicious, but it was also gluten free, with vegetarian and vegan options-perfect for feeding a crowd with a variety of dietary requirements. The owner got back to me very quickly and was extremely generous with the menu options they could provide on our budget. Yami promised that she could do individual packaging and she totally delivered! I expected having to sort out 30 clamshell boxes. Instead, we received 30 individual bags each labeled with the content and stuffed with a menu. The best part? All the packaging is recyclable/biodegradable! Now for the food: For most people this was their first time having an arepa. We ordered pork, chicken or vegetarian arepas and rice bowls. Everyone that had an arepa said they were crispy, juicy, and packed with filling. The rice bowls were a very generous portion and every component had great flavor. The sauces (creamy avocado, chipotle mayo and mojito) were all delicious. I can't wait until I'm down in Wappinger Falls to have an arepa! read more

The coffee shop is lovely & the staff is quick and friendly. We didn't get to sample some of their heart do your dishes because we were on a tight schedule we loved the coffee and the Sunshine juice blend. The bagel with cream cheese was warm and crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside with just the right amount of cream cheese and the croissant was buttery and layered and delicious. I highly recommend this coffee shop if you're in the Wappingers Falls area for any reason! read more

Love the flavors and texture of everything on this menu I have to say different from my typical Spanish food but great overall

The Green Bowl has been my favorite takeout place in the area since it opened. But recently they've started skimping a lot on portions, especially the açaí bowl portions. You can see the containers come with a raised lid to make room for the toppings so the bowl can be filled to the top, with toppings added. But lately the bowls are only filled halfway, even with the toppings in them. I think it's genuinely that the young workers don't realize but I wish management would tell them they should fill the bowls since they're designed to hold more. It might start to be worth driving further for a true portion. read more
