    My favorite type of food and beverage combined into one incredible spot. The seating was beautifully arranged both inside and outside, definitely sit outside if the weather permits it for you. The servers were all incredibly kind and suggestive as it was our first time here Definitely get the hummus! Don't be afraid to try some unfamiliar meats!

    Fresh Caprese Panini

    I purchased a vegan veggie bowl, caprese panini and crispy chicken sandwich. The portions are pretty small. The side of fries that came with the sandwich could actually be counted : ) The food was fresh, not overly flavored and has a homemade quality. Prices are a bit high for the amount you receive. They offer an assortment of pastries and a wide range of beverages including Turkish and Japanese teas and coffee. The establishment has a fairly large and varied menu. I can appreciate the numerous vegan and gluten free options offered by the restaurant.

    Been there, done that. I've been curious about this place for a while so finally stopped in for breakfast. I will not be going back. The atmosphere was awesome so I really wanted to like it. I ordered a coffee which was so horrific that exchanged for a cafe au lait. I love strong coffee and bitter coffee but this was not drinkable. To eat I ordered the egg white wrap. It was ok but the seasoning was way too strong and there was no mention of it on the menu. Service was trying to be ok, but they kept checking in what felt like every two minutes and were not very friendly. Far too many better alternatives in the area, not sure how they have lasted so long.

    top tier breakfast brunch and everything good eats quality and service too. it's cozy inside and they sell a lot of other things besides food from th menu there's desserts and other stuff to take home. it's a gem.

    Oatmeal, Chai Tea Lattes, and avocado Smashed Avocado Toast with eggs

    Cutest little cafe! Had a post-workout brunch here and no complaints. The dirty chai was yummy (and huge!), and I very much enjoyed my avocado toast. My friend had the oatmeal with fruits and it also looked nice. Service was fast and the manager (I think) was super nice and checked in on us. Not sure about these bad reviews, it's such a cute little small business!!

    We came in to the cafe to fuel up after visiting the Harbor Island beach. Our waitress was warm and attentive, took our orders swiftly and food was served in 10 minutes. One of the cookies we ordered had a strong cheese smell, thought that was interesting. The mozzarella sticks were warm and chunky, kids enjoyed them very much. The service was attentive throughout the whole time, when a patron alerted my son who was waiting that one of the restrooms was out of order, the staff immediately came to repair.

    This is now officially my favorite brunch stop. We have yet to find anything on the menu that is not fabulous!

    If I was going to take the 7:04am train from GCT to Mamaroneck to meet a colleague for breakfast I Was hoping this place was worth the trip. Luckily, I can say that it was. The standard drip coffee was very good, and the breakfast selections on the menu were quite deep. I settled in on a Turkish breakfast and I'm very happy that I did. The service was friendly, the food was tasty, the tables spaced far apart. If I needed to be back in mamaroneck I would certainly give this place a go.

    Buttermilk Pancakes
    Jani M.

    I visited the Roaster Cafe with my sister for brunch and coffee. It is a tight indoor establishment, but they offer outdoor seating when the weather is nice. I ordered the Turkish Coffee and Buttermilk pancakes. The coffee was strong and delicious. They used the perfect amount of milk, and it was not too sweet. The pancakes were beautifully displayed and very good. The staff was extremely friendly. I would go back to try different items off their menu. They have so many options to choose from. I kept it simple for my first visit, but I would love to try other items off the menu. Before I left, I purchased a bar of Dubai Chocolate, and I was a 10/10. I am excited to go back!

    The meal and service were outstanding in every way!! And the Ambiance was so comforting and cozy.

    I like the way how the light are made out of jars. I like the purple and blue cups. And I love the pancakes! - my 5 year old daughter.

    We were here on account of the Westchester Turkish mothers online group. It was a brunch get together. The place is not big inside. Tables are small. In order to accomodate the large group tables had to be placed side by side. The ambiance is cozy. Now on to the food. Food was fresh. We had Simit, which if you are not familiar with, is basically a pretzel, but instead of salt on it it's loaded with sesame seeds. And it's not shaped like a pretzel, instead it's circular and round. I had a donor kabab in a wrap without onions and it was pretty good. Overall, I recommend it for a small group with maximum 4 people. Service was okay if a bit impersonal. Also the outdoor space is great for warmer weather with charming tables set out on the sidewalk and parts of the street that are blocked off from car traffic.

    Perfect way to end a meal

    I found the interior of the cafe beautiful. The leafs draped over the signage. The cute tables filled with wine corks and coffee beans. Even if you were not sure if it was good or not, there is a demand for this cafe of amazing brunch and lunch options. They have decent on the small side portions, but that's okay for me. I don't need a lot of food, but if you are hoping for something big, I don't recommend this spot. Now, I found my meal was awesome. I had a handful of potato wedges and a high pile of fresh salad already tossed with dressing. Yes, the food was amazing. I had an avocado mediterranean panini. It was filled with fresh avocado. So yummy! It is true. I brought my whole family and my mom and dad are super picky, but they enjoyed their sandwiches (Italian chicken pesto panini and the lamb gyro). My mom's lamb gyro arrived with Tztziki on the side with cucumbers inside. She loved it! My dad had Italian chicken which was so melty in your mouth good. My hubby had the chicken caesar salad and it was light and delicious, not too salty. Just right. Strong Turkish coffee. Dark, rich and magical. My kid ordered the acai bowl, and he said it was cold and soothing. Downside: I agree with some of Yelpers, a couple of servers aren't warm. Now, I'm from Brooklyn, so I know all about less than welcoming service. I also acknowledge that being a waiter or a waitress is a tough job where it is hard to make the bills. I had a couple of waitresses at Roaster Cafe. One who was super helpful and another one who greeted us who was having a bad mood. I try to be understanding, because everyone is going through something hard, yet we might still have to work. Life is hard, but we don't have to add on top of their tough day. It's just something that I noticed. Plus, we got all our food and nothing was missing. We were taken cared of. It was just not bubbly or super delirious smiles. That's all. I would still recommend visiting here for the freshness and deliciousness factor of the panini/sandwiches and cute adorable ambience!

    Eggs over greens. Fresh, healthy and delicious.

The menu has some classics as well as twists on standard brunch dishes. I loved my avocado toast, which had some unusual texture that made it very memorable. I was surprised it wasn't too busy for brunch. Don't let the secret out!

    I am a little torn on what rating to give Jill's and wish I could give 3.5 because while I think a…read more3 is a little low, I don't think a 4 is the right rating. I also want to preface this by saying that I think this place is a solid choice and it is not a bad place to grab a bite or a drink. I have been a couple of times now. While I would go back again, I wouldn't go out of my way to go there. The ambience is good. It's a nice space and it does have space for both larger and smaller groups. The wait staff is also very nice and I have zero issue with them. The food is good enough, although not spectacular. They are definitely going for a high end bar/brunch/dinner spot. A step up from a local pub, a little bit more of a shine/elegance to them. The vibe is actually great for a larger group. The most recent time we went, our table got steak nachos, a burger, the sweet potato and rice bowl (with shrimp added), and a steak sandwich. The steak sandwich was reportedly really good (I didn't try it) and looked nice. The nachos were fine, not great. Didn't feel like there was enough cheese, but the steak on it was actually really nice. The rice bowl was really not exciting. There was nothing elevated or nuanced about it. The shrimp was the best part and was beautifully cooked and seasoned, but that was an add on and I would have been disappointed with it if not for the addition of the shrimp (which then made the bowl over $25). We ordered the burger medium rare, and it came very well done. To be fair, when we mentioned it to the server, she took it off of the bill, which we appreciated. Overall, I would say the food is hit or miss. Most of our proteins were cooked very nicely and with good flavor, but the other parts of the meal were just fine, not great. The price point is such that I expect a little more for what I am paying. That being said, the staff is nice and the ambience is good, so for a quick and easy meal, it's worth it if you are in the area.

I was worried it would be too sweet because it included sprite and cranberry juice, but it was actually very pleasant and bursting with flavor. For my main, I had the frittata. It was tasty. Some of the broccoli rabe was a little tough to chew, but not too bad. It was topped with a generous portion of cheese. I loved the tender mushrooms. My husband got the cozze. The portion of mussels was large and he enjoyed the sauce. We also shared the cinnamon french toast, which was delicious. It didn't even need syrup as it was perfectly sweet with the cream and berries on top. Even so, they had several syrups to choose from including amber and maple. Looking forward to coming back to try the dinner menu.

Our server was so friendly and welcoming. They are clearly creating an environment meant for the whole family. They are truly catering to the community. They have good happy hour specials and we were told kids (I think under 12) eat free on Sundays, and I can say we will definitely go back with the small human. Like I said, the menu is a little all over the place. It's definitely meant for comfort, but it was kind of hard to tell what direction it was meant to be. We got cocktails and they were great. Definitely had a southern, down home kind of vibe. We started with the nachos and soup of the day which was New England clam chowder. Both apps were great. The soup was really hearty. It's not always my favorite because when not done well, I really don't like it, but their New England clam chowder was truly exceptional. Nachos were loaded up and really good. For mains we got the BBQ duo of chicken breast and ribs. The chicken really was just chicken breast with bbq sauce on it, so nothing special but at least cooked well. The ribs were tender. We also got rigatoni rustico, which sounded more interesting than it was (it had a creamy Dijon sauce, which is what prompted us to order it, but the Dijon was hard to taste). That being said, it was still very nice. Overall, the menu was a little all over the place. It might be better if they picked a direction (definitely seemed geared more southern) and focused on whittling down the menu. If I could give half stars, I would give them a 4.5, but I'm rounding up to a 5 for exceptional service and a great vibe for the entire family. They're really aiming to serve their community and I love that.
