Quiet tea and coffee shop. It has a lot of decorative art. The service is great and they offer a variety of pastries: chocolate, almond, and plain croissants, chocolate chip cookies, scones. They offer a variety of different milk, with oat milk as an option. Oat milk latte was good. The space offers a calm feeling and provides a cozy environment to do school work or just simply catch up with your friend over coffee. They also serve sandwiches if you’re looking for something other than coffee: grill cheese sandwich, Turkey sandwich, quiches. They also have soup! I really like this place!

A very nice small cozy cafe, their latte is a little bit strong for a latte, so if you like strong coffee, Late can still be your thing at this place. I ordered chocolate croissant too, it was fresh but It’s so small!!They have nice seating outside and inside area with cool portraits. Service was good, they were so nice to us. They also have brunch menu that I will definitely try it later :)

I came across this nice cafe as I was in the mood for a coffee nearby. I really liked the environment and the service was very pleasant. The place had a peaceful vibe. I also enjoyed my crumb cake and chai latte. Definitely recomendable café in the area if you’re around.

I enjoyed this place. I was in New Rochelle for a few days and grabbed breakfast and iced coffee here each day! Their cold brew is smooth and lovely!

Cute cafe atmosphere, wonderful beverages and excellent, personable barista. Docked 1 star only because the alfajor I ordered alongside my cappuccino was disappointing- tasted like it was made with oil instead of butter. Didnt have that distinctive crumbly texture or fresh aroma. Would absolutely return for another cappuccino though!

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while now as I LOVE their Instagram page. When I walked in today, it was everything I imaged it to be. Such a beautiful/cozy vibe. The two guys working there were super friendly and accommodating. I ordered a really delicious mocha flavored coffee (with the pretty heart shapes in the foam ) The almond chocolate croissant was out of this world! So happy I came and I will definitely be going back. Highly recommend. The perfect coffee shop

Very small funky coffee/patisserie on the east side of Huguenot between division and center str. Good coffee and assortment of good quality pastries. Few inside seats and few outside seats.

Horrible experience one week old quiche! Never again!I ordered a quiche, an apple tart and green tea. I told the sales person the apple tart was fine but the quiche was so dry, not acceptable. She responded that since I did not ask how old is the quiche I have to pay for the quiche. She mentioned it was in the store since last Monday. They only get a weekly supply.That is unacceptable. BEWARE to buy anything unlesss you ask HOW OLD is your product. Imagine? There are plenty of other cafe in the area, this one I do NOT recommend.

The google said the shop is closed at 6pm on Sunday. I arrived at 5:05. There are still customer inside but the girl work there told me the shop was closed. She was rude and impatient. Will not come back again because the wrong information and cold face of staff. and will definitely not recommend this one to others.

Stylish fun spot for tea, cappuccino and craft coffee. The pastry is awesome. It functions as an art gallery as well. Local artist use the walls to show work. Wonderful tin ceiling in a fun and funky space. Friendly folks who are always helpful tend the coffee bar.

I was searching for a cozy coffee place and my brother recommended R Cafe! The service is friendly and the coffee is great. I would get there early on a weekend since the place is small but everything is so charming from the couches, to the decor to the French-inspired offerings!

This is simply an awesome place. I have been there twice and both the times had a splendid experience. It had a good laid back environment and is a must go place if you enjoy an evening coffee. I ordered Cuban latte which tasted really nice. Coffee menu is also well covered. Its different from Starbucks kind of coffee but I loved it.

Review №37

Excellent coffee and baked goods at reasonable prices in a cozy eclectic environment. My Latte and scone was 6.50. Both sublime. The space is small. 5 or 6 tables (most for 2 people), 2 couches and a communal table seating 5 or 6. One outdoor table seats 4. The work of local artists adorns the walls. Some of it quite good at times. (Hit or miss in art work). This is NOT a place to bring the little kids. Just an FYI.

The interior looks extremely clean and peaceful. The decor is minimal which is great. I ordered a iced green tea. I remember wanting a healthy beverage yet cold. The customer service is great and the workers seem to really like their job.

Was there yesterday for a double espresso, very good coffee, among the top 2 spots in Larchmont, Mamaroneck, or New Rochelle. The workers were very friendly. Support small businesses like this w/ a good product during tough times (and good times when we get back there).

Nice cosy place with great teas, coffees and pastries. Not expensive for the quality. Lovely personnel. I will definitely go back. Ideal for going alone to relax, for going with a date or a couple or for chatting with friends in a great environment. They also sell nice paints from different artist. My experience was great and they also speak Spanish

Great place. I loved the Chai tea the first time I went there, it was made by one of the owners. The second time I went was pretty disappointing. It was cold and was not the same flavor as the first time. The had a young very nice lady made it.

Review №46

The young man working ruined my experience by being rude and lacking customer service. Not only was my food of poor quality but it took human unusual long time to ring my order. He then argued with me about taking the coffee that came with my meal when I turned down the other options. Ive never paid so much for such an unsatisfying meal.Its unfortunate as the ambiance is lovely - well until the pop music was turned on instead of the jazz music. Im not sure who made that decision.No woman should have to be yelled at for asserting her requests. Please do a customer service training or hire workers who treat people with more respect.

Whenever I’m in New Rochelle I come to this place and it’s normally completely fine. I came here today and I asked for a tea with a little bit of agave and the girl making my drink gave me a tea that tastes like sugar water. I asked if it can be made again without the agave and they said no, that I would have to be charged again. So in total, I paid $8 for a cup of tea. The staff was unwilling to be accommodating although the girl making the tea completely messed it up. I will not be coming back.

Ive been coming to this cafe for about 6 years. I love everything about it... from the coffee(the best), to the owner, every member of the staff, the morning regulars, the rotating art that adorns the walls, the eclectic mish mosh of furniture, and their constant and consistent excellence of service. This cafe helped turn around the downtown district of New Rochelle way ahead of the trend and current times. It produced a sense of community and brings together a diverse group of people from every walk of life. R Cafe captures the essence of what New Rochelle truly is. Thank you!

Review №52

Charming place in the heart of New Rochelle. Not so charming is the way decaf is handled. Preground beans, with all of coffees aromas gone.I dont think you can consider yourself a legitimate cafe using grounded beans.I want to see the barista grinding my beans just before making my coffee, not scooping up dirt from a canister.

Been going here for 3+ years ever since my friend got a job there. The teas, coffees, pastries, and food options are all really great. The prices are a bit on the higher side but its worth it for the atmosphere. The seating options are insanely comfortable and they have table where you can work comfortably for hours on end (and many people I know do just that). The baristas and John, the owner, are always friendly and make conversation with me. There are many regulars here who love this patisserie and it shows. The atmosphere is always positive and it feels like a real staple in the community. Cant write a good enough review!!!

My Co-worker and I were looking for a place to relax and enjoy a cup of tea on a nice Saturday afternoonight and were really excited to find this place. Much to our disappointment the staff were RUDE and not helpful when we walked in. We were uncertain if we were going to be waited on at our table or had to approach the counter. The two staff members just stood behind the counter and didnt say a word ie: Can I help you? or even a simple greeting such as Hello. We felt very uncomfortable so we left and will NOT be back!!

Moved into the area recently. I need a place to do work and R Cafe is such a place. Their alfajore (the dulce de leche sandwich cookies) cookies are... amazing. Ill become a regular for those alone. I think their chai latte could be stronger and more spicy (the cinnamon and cardamom sense, not red hot chili); but that could be the Indian in me talking. I like that they feature the work of local artists and I have my eye on a hand painted coin purse that I am saving up to buy. It gives me a sense of a downtown New Rochelle that I feel proud to call my own.
