This is the quintessential small town America eatery serving excellent unique and sometimes quirky dishes in a country atmosphere. It's tucked away in a sleepy northern Westchester town that completes the picture of 1955 America (in a good way). WHAT TO GET: Breakfast and brunch. Baked goods are good and the chinna-muff (toasted with butter) is a must order. The bacon, egg, and cheese (on a croissant) is fantastic, and the Nutella toast is great. Also, the ice coffee is a must -- not sure why it is so good but it is exceptional. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable locals. WHAT TO SKIP: Being in a rush. This is county environment at a country speed. read more

The best place for a bite to eat in Pound Ridge! Great service and people! The grilled cheese is to die for and I know they have excellent specials. Super welcoming restaurant and come here for a great time read more

Phenomenal!! Best French toast I ever had. The waitstaff is so nice and helpful. GO HERE!!!

Egg salad sandwich came on a COLD toasted piece of bread with almost no egg salad. It looked so cheap, they really should give more and pay more attention. read more

Our favorite place for dinner is The Kitchen Table. If you haven't tried their weekend dinner menu, you're missing out on the best food in town and the most pleasant outdoor dining environment in town (think flowers and garden, peaceful and pretty). And it's kid friendly! They also have a wonderful beer and wine menu, and delicious desserts. Daphne and her staff consistently make us feel happy and welcomed. We always look forward to our dinner nights out, esp in these times because it's something we don't do as often as before. read more

I love this place. While I'm not a coffee drinker, I hear the coffee is outstanding. I like the tea selection. The soups are excellent the avocado toast is divine. The breakfast burrito is great, though a bit small. Love the spicy chicken quesadilla which is served on Friday nights. The service is friendly and informal. While its not fine dining, it's the best place to drop in, grab a snack and a drink and catch up on what's happening in town. Yes, they serve on paper plates, but that doesn't bother me at all. read more

The Kitchen Table - Avocado toast with egg and cinnamon spice tea on the side - Cafes Near Me - Pound Ridge, New York

Really really good wonderful food and people. Prices are great! Loved my burrito. Highly dope.

Fantastic service. Super dog friendly. Great coffee, amazing veggie sandwich and yummy croissants! You will love this place!

I find it hard to like this place, although there aren't many places to eat in this little hamlet, and the owners have a bent toward a natural and healthy vibe. But the noise level is on par with an industrial manufacturing plant thanks to a near nuclear cappuccino machine that seems to threaten exploding any minute in a Queen Mary boiler room holocaust. The food is average, much of it imported from elsewhere, the music competing for audial attention. If you're looking for a quick eat and run its probably fine. If you want a thoughtful cup of coffee and pensive read if a newspaper, forget it. read more

This is a follow-up to my first review of this place, when I came here originally for dinner. At that time, I gave this place 3 stars. This time I came by for breakfast along with a companion. I ordered one egg over multigrain bread, avocado spread and some sort of greens. My companion ordered the French toast. Both were underwhelming. When we overheard two other diners asked why they were being served on plastic plates rather than on regular plates, and we asked what was going on, we were told - somewhat abruptly - by our young waitress that the restaurant "always" serves everything on plastic plates, except for the oatmeal, because the building is "water-restricted." That was news to us, since all the other restaurants in town don't seem to have this problem, and the restaurant did not claim to have this issue when we were last here. I did insist that we be served on regular plates (which the waitress did), but my question now is: how can a restaurant safely function in a "water-restricted" building? Does this mean that there's not enough water to clean dishes? To wash hands? To run a bathroom? Not sure, but I am concerned enough that I will not return here anytime soon. As to the food - an afterthought at this point - it was mediocre at best. The food was poorly and unimaginatively presented; the preparation was mediocre; and for what it was ... well, it was overpriced. The coffee, at least, was decent, but that was it. The space is clean and presentable, but the restaurant is presumptuous about subsidizing local farmers and "fresh" food. There are better representatives elsewhere. Other restaurants in the area, including the local diner just across the way, do a much better job all around. read more

Just found out they serve pre package food from Costco and Stew Leonard's. I can get all that myself if I wanted to. https://data.lohud.com/restaurant-inspections/westchester/kitchen-table-at-pound-ridge-the/859235/ read more

Had a coffee with some bar snacks. Completely relaxed. Read my paper in this serene and beautifully lighted environment. And it was a Saturday evening. No pressure to leave. Owner came over and chatted. Robert Rubin, former economic secretary and wife came in and took two seats at the bar. Just a wonderful interlude in this small town. Friendly, interesting and GREAT coffee. read more

This place is awesome. The environment is relaxing, the door is open with a summer breeze coming through and fresh herbs planted outside. The staff is super friendly and awesome. The cook peeks through the door once in a while and he is just as happy. The food is fresh organic and delicious. Packed with flavor. The coffee is delicious and rich! Definitely take a stop here and enjoy the experience. read more

What a wonderful addition to our neighborhood. For years my husband and I have complained about the lack of a cozy and affordable neighborhood restaurant. We've been meaning to eat here for weeks since it opened but just finally got the opportunity this past Friday evening. As a vegetarian and lover of Mexican food, I was delighted with the menu and the food itself. Everything was fresh, nicely presented, simple yet very tasty. The staff was accommodating and attentive. My husband had the delicious pulled pork and I very much enjoyed the bean burrito. The guacamole and the gazpacho were perfectly seasoned. We will come back and will recommend to our friends. Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

Went here for the first time. It was ok. It didn't leave an impression or desire to go back. Food is overpriced for the portion size served on a paper plate. Service can improve as well. It seemed to be run by a bunch of teenage kids. read more

Dirty. The waitress shoved food in her mouth behind the bar whenever she got a chance. Less than diner quality food. DON'T ODER THE WINE!! Same price per glass as 4 star Inn at Pound Ridge down the street! One glass pays for their bottle! However, people with dogs love the place! read more

I've been eyeing this place every time I drive by for months now. The atmosphere is inviting and warm, and you feel like you are eating in your neighbors kitchen We sat at the bar and chatted with employees and locals, and enjoyed The Kitchen Tables Friday Mexican night. Fresh ingredients, and delicious guacamole made the veggie burritos very appetizing. The salad du jour, of arugula, beets and feta was also delicious. If you are looking for a casual, local night out, with fantastic seasonal food, with no fuss- then this is the place to go. I can't wait to go back. read more

Tiny and adorable. A great place for kids in the morning, with delicious breakfast and good coffee. It is a place to stop and sit for a little. It's small, so the service is appropriately timed, i.e. not rushed. If you are in a rush, you should go to a local deli for sure. I come back all the time, love it. read more

This has become a weekend go-to for us when we're in New Canaan, despite it being a bit out of the way. Pound Ridge doesn't really have the small-town coffee shop that you would expect in a little town like this, so the Kitchen Table is a gem that sort of fills that void, with good coffee, but also with good food. We usually stick with breakfast items, and have not been disappointed. Casual atmosphere and friendly staff. Some good/comical people watching with the New Yorkers who think they're in Vermont or something, although we have also seen those types be very rude with the staff for no reason- please don't expect as wide a menu as Sarabeth's. Only difficulty is that it's very small, so can sometimes get crowded quickly. read more

Amazing, relaxed atmosphere! Feel like I'm in a friend's Vermont kitchen. Great for brunch or dinner! Breakfast burrito for brunch and meatballs for dinners are both winners! read more

Food subpar and v. Expensive for quality of food and service. Service is poor. The only thing going for this place is a nice small town ambiance. But, if you want that for much lower price just watch Twin Peaks. read more

Had the Kitchen Table Breakfast. Food was good, not great. I suspect the sauteed mixed greens were actually spinach. The waitress assured me that the food was 'like farm fresh'; not sure if that was a qualifier or if she recently came from California. I know I've been watching too many episodes of 'Restaurant Impossible', but the management is KILLING this place. There are no systems: while part of my breakfast was on the pick up table waiting to be served, I observed the wait staff reading a newspaper, texting, and chatting with their school buddies. Too bad, because I would LOVE to see a healthy cafe in this neck of the woods. read more

Took the family to breakfast and experienced great service, food, and atmosphere. Very little wait time. Much better than the breakfast place across the street. The kids had yummy French toast. The breakfast burrito was terrific as was the breakfast burger. Alex our waiter was quick, friendly, and responsive. This is will now be a regular breakfast spot for our family. read more

Nice ambience, but the food suffers from uneven quality and high prices.....nothing special really....The place likely benefits from being the only decent food option in the center of a hamlet that clearly has seen better days. Also, the owner is a total shrew. read more

Great food and nice little place if you're stopping by to get some coffee and a quick breakfast or lunch. But, the hours are very limited :( . Staff is usually great, but the occasional rush of people leaves them stressed and a little bit angry. read more

my go-to place for espresso and the amazing local scones. I'll work here on their wifi for a few hours and enjoy the people traffic...

Great food, good service. Very welcoming, attentive staff. The outside seating could use some improvement although there wasn't much space for it. Enjoyed lunch outside here on a bright sunny day. read more

Wonderful to be able to get a latte and healthy food so close to home. The owners and staff are warm and welcoming. Cute atmosphere.

The food was okay but it does not deserve such a high price. I am gluten free and they stop making gluten free french toast at 11:30. The fact that I arrived there at 11:35 and was denied the French toast is annoying read more
