I was in the area for work and needed a spot to hang out before my flight home. I found the Pamplemousse Project on Yelp and I'm so glad! It's a cozy spot with a great purpose - their mission is to donate 100% of profits back to charitable organizations in the community. Amazing! I ordered a flat white and a sausage breakfast burrito. Love that they have food options beyond pastries (which they also have, along with egg bites, baked goods, etc.). They did not take my name but brought my order out to my table. The flat white was delicious and perfectly hot, and the breakfast burrito was very similar to the breakfast burritos at McDonald's (in a good way, because I do like those). It was a generous size so I was fueled up for my long travel day. The space has plenty of seating and the wifi was quick. They have a section of bulk candy bins which I thought was interesting and unique. If I lived in the area, this would be a go-to spot! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A very cute place with a lowkey vibe that's a really nice change from the Starbucks mania.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Met a colleague and her daughters for a late coffee/early lunch bite. Everything ordered was excellent: Chai Tea Latte, Choco, Lemonade, muffins and sour dough chocolate chip cookies. Also brought home a regular chocolate chip cookie which was described as "a big thumbs up" and a regular croissant (good, but not exceptional). Staff could not have been nicer; no problem letting me hang out and hold the table until everyone arrived. Patient, thorough and excellent service. The only reason it's not 5 stars is because there were no espresso drinks available when we were there. I'm sure it doesn't happen often, but one person in our party had wanted and espresso drink so that was a little disappointing. Otherwise, great! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I went in with my small dog(in my carry bag) and the owner was so nice and we started talking our dogs which share the same name.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She also told me the cafe is named for her dodog, which the nick named pamplemousse.

Will update when i try their other pastries.I will definitely go back. read more

It's too bad. I've had a great latte here before, but every single time it's different. The 16oz iced latte getting 4 pumps of sweetener is actually insane. I got it half sweet and it was just so so sweet I'm trying to figure who the target demographic is. It's usually the nationwide franchises that are going overly sweet, and it's just surprising to see that in a "neighborhood" shop. They have gluten free options like egg bites and burritos which is so nice, I usually can't grab a meal at most places. They are close to the mark but the sweetness of their drinks is just so ridiculous I hope they can adjust!! read more

Pamplemousse is the most perfect example of not judging a book by its cover located on Mamaroneck Ave in Downtown White Plains. From the outside, you will never know what a cute café this is with lots more natural elements. There are cafés and then there are cafés. Pamplemousse fits the last one. And, these folks are pushing the envelope with a social conscience and giving back to the local community. For a super early 8ish Sunday morning, I beat the traffic AND found parking right in front. Any later, and I would've been out of luck. The folks at Pamplemousse take their coffee to heart. Since I haven't been a coffee drinker for a very long time, I decided on a Ghirardelli hot chocolate as my drink of choice. And since I'm focusing more on protein, the Vegetarian egg bites (2 per order) called me and so did the Chocolate+Pecan+Nut Protein Balls. I just couldn't bypass their Chocolate Truffles and boy do they have variety. The key lime was my favorite as it was more pronounced. The Salted Caramel was good- so was the Raspberry-filled. As someone who doesn't eat meat, the menu here is super creative- case in point, the vegetarian egg bites and protein chocolate balls. Service was phenomenal. Follow my voice- if you want good vibes, nice drinks- coffee and non, savory bites, sweets and plenty of photo ops, this is definitely for you. read more

Lovely and helpful baristas! Thanks to their recommendation, I tried a delicious caramel macchiato with oat milk. The ambiance in this cafe is also cute-- I love it!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I Loved the atmosphere, service and friendly staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All the bakery items were appeared delicious and they were.

What a nice little spot to pass the time on a rainy day. I was pleasantly surprised by the options-- far more variety than your usual coffee shop. Extra pleased that there was a savory option- egg bites! They also have gluten free baked goods- including some delicious mini almond cookies. Their housemade truffles and wall-o-candy were tempting, but I resisted. Service was warm and friendly. Community seating and some smaller tables are available. Definitely LGBTQ+ friendly with gender neutral restrooms. So happy I stopped in here! read more

This is an interesting place. I've tried a lot of their drinks, pastries and chocolates. They close early, so if you want to stop by I'd recommend stopping by earlier in the day when they have more food options. This place can get quite busy during the day; it can be difficult to find a seat inside. I'd recommend their coffee and their quiche. During the warmer months, you can sit outside too. I'm looking forward to stopping back in and trying more of their winter drinks. read more

The Pamplemousse Project has been on my radar for a while now. When I first heard it was opening in Downtown White Plains, I was initially confused as to what type of business it actually was. Would it have something to do with grapefruit? What is this project they speak of? What do they mean by "The"? So many questions with so little answers. When I eventually learned that Pamplemousse was a coffee shop, I instantly got excited; I have been waiting for more independent coffee shops to come to the city, and it seemed like I was getting my wish. I was recently walking down Mamaroneck Ave and noticed it was finally open, so I decided to stop in and check them out. Pamplemousse is in a prime location, right on the Mamaroneck Ave strip in the heart of downtown. They are somewhat unique concept, as all of their profits are donated to charity (their website fully describes their business model). I *loved* the vibes as soon as I walked in - white exposed brick paired with a combination of stools and comfy chairs where you can sit and enjoy your treats. Further back was the ordering counter, followed by another seating area. The overall aesthetics were really speaking to me, I can totally see myself sitting here getting work done. Pamplemousse is primarily a coffee shop, and the menu has a good variety of hot and cold coffee beverages. I also noticed display cases of baked goods, chocolate confections, as well as selections of proprietary bagged coffee, bulk candy, and some other miscellaneous seasonal merchandise. I was looking for a beverage, so I decided to order a cappuccino to go. I was given my choice of milk, sweetener, and whether or not I wanted cinnamon added (mmm yes). They also asked if I wanted to join their loyalty program which, was a hard yes from me. Before I knew it my beverage was ready, and they even included a small chocolate candy sample. The cappuccino was great - not too hot with just enough sweetness. Service was excellent - the staff was warm, friendly, and really elevated my time here from a visit to an experience. Overall, The Pamplemousse Project is a total yes - this is exactly what White Plains needs, and I wish nothing but the best for this new business. I will definitely be back to explore more of their menu. read more

Ohhh YES! Because their mission is so admirable is reason alone to drink the coffee. Notwithstanding, this is THE BEST COFFEE IN WHITE PLAINS: by the cup, by the bean, by the bag...BUY IT ALL, ALL THE TIME! Yummy baked treats, truffles and etc. keep me coming back. Comfortable tables and armchairs. Clean and spotless all over...bathrooms too. The owners and all the servers want you to be happy when you're there and when you leave. They see to THAT. It's about WP finally had a REAL COFFEE JOINT. read more

A cafe you have to try! Walking on Mamk Ave, I walked past it but did a 360 turn and went inside. Reading about their mission and contribution to the community, I knew I had to support. The iced vanilla latte was the perfect blend and I really enjoyed it!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The environment and space inside is very aesthetic and welcoming - I sat and drank my latte while listening to the jazzy music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will definitely come here to study/work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Check it out!! read more

The Pamplemousse Project - *took the photo midway into my drink* *a huggable place too!!* - Coffee & Tea Near Me - White Plains, New York

Closest replica to a coffee shop you would find in nyc. Decent amount of outlets in the back where this picture was taken from, but the front seating looks a bit harder to find outlet capabilities, although we didn't try very hard. Cute local art for sale on one wall. The space Seems narrow but quite long. On the pricey side but it seems like the profits go toward local charities which is fabulous. Big selection of drinks. They bring the food to you. Friendly staff. Definitely going back. Only down side is there's no free parking since it's in white plains downtown read more

The Pamplemousse Project - Americano and Croissant with ham and swiss - Coffee & Tea Near Me - White Plains, New York

A cute little coffeeshop in the middle of White Plains. It's a warm environment inside and the staff are very friendly. They have a decently large menu with some pastries and chocolates available, in addition to drinks. I have enjoyed the everything croissant and the mochaccino muffin, which pairs nicely with a warm drink in the winter months. My go-to drink is a matcha latte so I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they used Uji ceremonial matcha. I typically order an extra hot matcha latte with almond milk, so of course had to try it here. I will say that the powder is more on the bitter side compared to other coffeeshops I have previously frequented and I wish they would use more powder so that the flavor was stronger. I'd recommend adding some complimentary honey packets to balance out the bitterness. Overall a nice spot to get some work done and have a midday treat! Also, always happy to support a local business :) read more

I absolutely loved this cute coffee shop. We were roadtripping through the East Coast and came across it. We were starving and were happy to get a salad (for me) and a tasty almond croissant (for my husband). Plus they have this darling display of all the candy you would ever want, so I made a little grab bag for the next day of driving. The coffee was delicious and it turns out the whole enterprise is a not-for-profit just for the community! What an awesome idea. I wish my town had one. I bought a bag of coffee to take with me and to support their cause. Lots of people enjoying the vibe and sweet baristas. LOVED IT and wish them luck on their "project"! :) read more

The Pamplemousse Project has my highest recommendation for cafes around the area. The aesthetics is great. There is exposed brick with white paint over them. Wooden tables with nice lighting. Not too crowded in a Saturday morning. The place is rather new it seems, so it's pretty clean. The bathroom is very clean. Music is more on the classical and instrumental style (not pop music or some generic cafe playlist). Service is great. Coffee is made quickly enough. They deliver your drink at your table, which is such a small but very much appreciated service. Their small iced Americano comes out to only $3.85 and has 4(!!) shots of espresso. It tastes not too bitter and very smooth. The only cons are parking and tables next to exposed brick have no outlets. Overall, The Pamplemousse Project has my highest recommendation for cafes around the area. read more

Had some time so I thought I'd stop in . Yikes. $6.30 for hot chocolate +. 95 for oat milk cause my belly doesn't like cow's milk. It was good... but I wouldn't pay that price again. The maple pecan roll was yummy and delicious so I'd give that a try again. read more

The Pamplemousse Project - 4.15.23 receipt - Coffee & Tea Near Me - White Plains, New York

I was so excited to discover a new cafe open up in the area. Cafes are my second home, and they are great places to relax, study, work, or catch up with friends. Eager for another excuse to drink coffee, my friend and I ventured to White Plains on a Saturday morning to see what The Pamplemousse Project was all about. 《Ambience》 The inside of the cafe is very homey and modern. I loved how much natural light illuminated the front half of the cafe, essentially making it feel extra warm and homey. Most people chose to enjoy their coffee and goods in this area for obvious reasons. If natural light is not your thing, no worries. This cafe extends past the register to a relatively dimmer area, next to the bathrooms. Exposed white brick spans the walls and there are plenty of short and high tables to sit in. This is where I sat, since it had an outlet. Not all tables have outlets available, so look out for the ones that do if you need it. One thing that bugs me about some cafes is their choice of music. Sometimes it's too loud, boring radio-friendly pop, or the same songs on repeat. On my first visit this cafe was none of those things. They played classical/jazz music at an appropriate volume, and it was great to study to. Your experience may vary depending on who is playing music for the day though. 《Service》 Aside from ordering my coffee from the front counter, I didn't engage much with the staff. However, I noticed they were really nice to customers and even went out of their way to be of assistance. I also noticed little cards on the tables that had a QR code on them. It allows you to order from your table and they'll bring your order to you. I didn't use this feature, but it sounds pretty neat. 《The Goods》 I ordered a flat white while my friend ordered an iced americano. Although my favorite flat white comes from Two Guns Espresso in California, I thought this was decent. I actually really liked my friend's iced americano, and he did too. It was bold and smooth. Overall, The Pamplemousse Project exceeded my expectations for a new cafe. I can't wait to come back. I could only hope it stays my hidden gem, but considering how many customers I saw come in the couple of hours I was there, I don't think it will stay hidden for long. read more

Here for the first time and I'm already in love with The Pamplemousse Project - and not just because the name means grapefruit in French! The owners of this beautiful café donate 100% of the profits to local charities, which are voted on by customers. I loved how the young man enthusiastically told me about the different groups that have benefitted from this endeavor. How wonderful! On top of that they have a full selection of food and drinks and even chocolates! I loved my omelette bites and iced coffee. I can't wait to get back to the Pamplemousse Project!

I came here looking for a good coffee. I asked for an iced latte light and sweet, and the barista asked how many sugars I wanted... Not very good coffee - It was really strong and I can't taste the sugar. I wish she had asked she did not know what light and sweet was if she did not know because I couldn't enjoy my coffee at all. Other than that, the place is really pretty and modern, and the barista was nice. Perhaps could have more food offers? Only 3 available types of pastry, the candy bar, and chocolates (that btw looked delicious). read more

A good place with comfortable seating and some good coffee. The Americano is smooth and my favorite. The cappuccino is "ok".

Pastries are limited but fine. read more

I attended a mixer at my building and got the opportunity to taste some of the baked goods and the coffee from this bakery. I was blown away by the chocolate croissant, the almond croissant and a couple cups of coffee...(yes, love my caffeine lol) Interesting flavors that show h care and tim devoted to their craft of baking came through with every bite and sip. Kudos to you for bringing baked deliciousness to White Plains read more

Just stopped in for the first time to get a brewed coffee and an almond croissant. The coffee is the Pamplemousse blend. The first couple sips seemed OK, but now halfway through the cup the defects are shining though, not bitter, but a prominent sour note in there. The almond croissant was atrocious. Was sitting in a bulk box of croissants, so was soggy and chewy, killing any chance at flakiness. The almond filling was lacking in flavor. For a lover of almond croissants, facing a bland mushy croissant is terrible. A large brewed coffee and the croissant were over $10, which seems high. No prices posted on the wall menu. read more

1 star for an attempt to be courteous but an epic fail just wasted $12 on a caramel macchiato that i specifically asked for extra caramel to make it sweet, it was gross but i was told if i wanted extra caramel to let them know I did and still it was gross, i also ordered a cheese danish which they warmed and it was greasy so now the cheese is gone, they advised either it's cold refrigerated or cold which neither is suitable for a cheese danish, it's a room temperature pastry so overall i tossed both the danish and the coffee just got a sorry no attempt to made to provide with another option and i told them it was my first time as i took a little longer to order but, these are young untrained baristas they had no desire to provide customer service, awful for a rainy friday morning. read more
