In order to support a local business I buy my drip coffee beans here and sometimes a coffee. Sometimes I buy my espresso beans here and grind at home as I do drip beans. When my espresso grinder died I had them grind for me for espresso, they ground them on an uncalibrated grinder and pulled 1:2 shot in 11 seconds. Total garbage, then after throwing that bag away I bought another and had to tell the clueless employees to set it to Turkish or in between, they seemed to not even know what 18g in and 36 out even meant, which explains why I always thought their espresso was no good. A friend sent me a bag of beans as a gift and they refused to grind for me, even though they had wasted my money g...
Been here a few times and the coffee is always good and the workers are kind. However the last two times I’ve been there so has a man who seems to be the owner, and he is not nice. He’s very gruff and honestly rude. First time I thought I caught him on a bad day but by the second time I knew it was just his personality. One of the times he took my order and when I asked the syrup flavors (which I asked because sometimes they have fun things like elderflower) he said “the regular stuff that’s everywhere” in a super demeaning way to brush me off and then a girl from the back told me the syrups as he rolled his eyes. The second time he just pushed past me to walk in. So weird. I don’t understan...
I believe that if baristas received just a bit of proper training—a short course or even a day's workshop—it could significantly enhance the quality of their coffee. I've noticed issues like over-extracted espresso, burnt milk, and baristas failing to clean the milk jug or tamp correctly. These are relatively simple problems that could be resolved with a little training, leading to a more consistent coffee experience.
There have been occasions where the coffee has been exceptional, but then the very next day, with a different barista, I find myself having to discard my drink. Having managed a specialty coffee shop myself, I know that it's quite affordable to hire someone for a day to provi...
I love this little coffee shop so much. As a new mom of a very fussy baby, I really appreciate their text ahead order system. Today specifically I called when I was parked out front because I was alone with my son and he was asleep. Kristin immediately offered to bring my order out to me. It was a small thing but a huge deal to me. I haven’t tried their coffee but their iced chai latte is so good. I would go Booskerdoo over Slave to the Grind any day.

Very nice coffee shop with baked goods. Came here for the first time loved it. Just wish there was a seating area or at least outside of the place. The Clyde was amazing! Highly recommend if you love espresso and hot chocolate! I also got the cinnamon monkey bread that was good. No inside seating, strictly a take-out counter, but near a small outdoor seating area that's across the street there's also a walking trail that's a few blocks away.
The man at the front door has no people skills. As I am standing there, in the cold, waiting to place an order, he comes out greets a friend, goes back in to chat with colleagues. Comes out to give someone else their order, looks at me, and gives a gruff “how can I help you”. No, friend, how can I help YOU, by patronizing your small business. And, he gave the wrong order second time it has happened to the barista.
During my first visit to this restaurant, I was drawn in by the clever display of pastries outside on the sidewalk. I couldn’t resist trying the cinnamon monkey bread, which a cheerful young woman warmed up for me and recommended as her favorite. It was absolutely delightful—large and satisfying for just $5, especially on a chilly New York day. I will definitely be back for another!
We visited on a whim and couldn't be happier with our experience! The staff was incredibly friendly and genuinely seemed to care about ensuring customers had a wonderful time. The coffee was delicious and reasonably priced compared to other places. Overall, this is by far the best coffee shop in Bronxville! We'll definitely be returning.

My favorite coffee shop. There are quite a few in Bronxville, but this one is the best. Setting up a house account has been great for getting quick coffee. And now they sell coffee brewing equipment! They were super knowledgeable and helped me replace my broken coffee grinder with a nice upgrade. I love having this place nearby.
Watery coffee and lattes. Had to go to another coffee place directly after. Bummer because I had high hopes based on great reviews. Hopefully it was just a fluke.
