A good cafe can turn an errand into the best part of the day. I am Cindy Schwall, and I like knowing where my clients stop for a latte before a showing. The shops below come from Suburban Jungle’s coffee guides, a Wanderlog listing, and a coffee-ordering page, so confirm hours before you go because details can change. Here are five spots to start.
Key Takeaways
- Omni Caffe: Wanderlog lists it at 60 Garth Rd and notes Italian coffees, croissants, and limited seating.
- The Formosa Coffee: The joe.coffee listing gives 111 Brook St, Suite G3 and describes espresso drinks, tea drinks, and pastries.
- Martine’s Fine Bake Shoppe: Suburban Jungle mentions coffee and homemade babka in 2024 and locally roasted coffee and housemade pastries in 2026.
- Apiary: Suburban Jungle describes a cafe at the Scarsdale Public Library where you can read and sip coffee.
Start at Omni Caffe on Garth Road
Suburban Jungle’s January 2026 coffee guide lists Omni Caffe among newer spots offering Italian-style coffees and breakfast bites. Wanderlog lists the address as 60 Garth Rd and describes the shop as near the Scarsdale train station.
Omni Caffe Details
- Menu: Wanderlog lists Italian coffees, cappuccinos, croissants, muffins, waffles, focaccia, tiramisu, cannoli, and gelato.
- Hours: Wanderlog lists 7 AM to 6 PM Monday through Thursday and 7 AM to 7 PM on Friday, with weekend hours starting at 8 AM.
- Reviews: Wanderlog shows a 4.8 rating from 170 Google reviews and mentions limited seating.
Suburban Jungle’s 2024 guide singled out the latte and the chocolate croissant. Limited seating suggests taking your order to go on busy mornings, especially when you are heading to a showing or the train.
Settle In at The Formosa Coffee on Brook Street
The joe.coffee listing gives the address as 111 Brook St, Suite G3 in Scarsdale and describes a study-friendly space. Posted hours run from 8 AM to 5 PM on most days, with Friday and Saturday closing at 6 PM.
What the Listing Describes
- Drinks: Espresso drinks such as a pistachio butter latte and a banana brulee latte, plus tea drinks like an iced London fog.
- Pastries: The listing also mentions pastries.
- Reviewer notes: Reviews quoted on the page mention power strips for laptops, and one reviewer found the drinks too sweet.
Those reviews are undated and come from a third-party ordering page, so treat them as one customer’s view. Call (914) 881-9188 to confirm hours and the current menu before you visit.
Pick Up Babka and Pastries at Martine’s Fine Bake Shoppe
Suburban Jungle’s July 2024 coffee guide mentions coffee and homemade babka at Martine’s Fine Bake Shoppe. Its January 2026 guide describes locally roasted coffee and housemade pastries there.
What Suburban Jungle Says
- 2024 mention: Coffee and homemade babka.
- 2026 mention: Locally roasted coffee and housemade pastries.
- Address: Neither article I read gave a street address.
Look up the current address and hours before you head out, since neither article I read gave them. A phone call or a quick web search settles it in a minute.
Read and Sip at the Apiary Cafe in the Scarsdale Public Library
Suburban Jungle’s 2024 guide describes Apiary as a cafe at the Scarsdale Public Library where you can read and sip coffee. The article links to the library’s own cafe page, which I did not open.
What the Guide Says
- Location: A library cafe, per Suburban Jungle.
- Use: A place to read and sip coffee.
- Details: Hours and menu should be confirmed on the library’s cafe page that the guide links.
Library cafe hours can follow the building’s schedule, so confirm before you head over. A short call to the library saves a wasted trip and lets you ask about the menu.
Plan a Coffee Crawl With Suburban Jungle’s Westchester Guides
Suburban Jungle’s guides also cover cafes in nearby towns, including Bronxville, Rye, Larchmont, Port Chester, and New Rochelle. The January 2026 edition is titled “Take a Coffee Tour of the Westchester Suburbs.”
Crawl Ideas
- Start local: Pair Omni Caffe with Martine’s for a Scarsdale morning.
- Add a stop: Choose one nearby-town cafe from the guides.
- Check updates: The guides carry 2024 and 2026 dates, so confirm that each shop is still open.
I did not sort the other-town cafes by distance from Scarsdale. Check a map before you plan a drive.
