First of all, the coffee was fantastic. It was smooth, hot, and no bitter aftertaste. We shared a chocolate chip cookie, muffin, and BEC. All delicious and fresh! The cookie was especially good. It was a cold February day, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Excellent ambiance. Can't wait until my next visit.

I read through some tough reviews here. I've only had cappuccinos and some pastries. Every time the cappy has been perfect, much more than I can say for a certain big chain. Pastries always fresh and good. Service has been nothing but friendly.

Love the whole vibe of this place! It’s definitely not your average cafe. My iced latte was perfectly bold and creamy, and the pastries are fresh and delicious. There is plenty of parking which is a bonus! Highly recommend to all my family/friends.

Such a delicious, classy new cafe in Cross River, with comfy couches, booth seating, and incredible creamy chai latte and strong cappuccino. You can smell the coffee beans from the parking lot, the incredible sent wafting and reeling you in. Loved their spinach-onion quiche. Their foods are expensive and not made there, but they’re fresh and their baked goods come from Sprout Creek Bakery up near Fishkill and look great. A cozy yoga studio is upstairs with a whole fleet of classes. Coming back for a cinnamon roll, the chai latte, and a spot on the couch. 5 stars!!!!

I stopped by for lunch and tea for the first time. It is a delightful cafe with a European flare, casual dining and offers health wellness programs. The upstairs yoga loft is architected thoughtfully with multi-story high windows, field stone, sky light slanted ceiling, polished wood- the beauty facilitates it’s purpose.

Just visited The Boro and we’re obsessed! The chai latte was absolutely amazing — warm, perfectly sweet, and so comforting. The chicken salad sandwich came on the freshest bread ever — soft, fluffy, and full of flavor. And OMG the pastries… flakey, sweet, and impossible to resist. Also a great spot for kids — laid-back atmosphere and super kid-friendly. The little ones gave it a solid A+. We’ll definitely be back!
