The Black Cow - Pleasantville

This is the only place nearby that offers an eggnog latte. Starbucks has run out of them this year, so there's no need to go there!

I’m genuinely disappointed to write this review, but I feel I need to share my experience from this morning. As a Pace University student, I inquired about whether they would honor the discount without my physical ID. Unfortunately, I was met with a rude response and an eye-roll from the staff member, who insisted that a physical ID was required. While I understand the policy and would have accepted it if she had approached me with kindness, her attitude was disheartening. I have always enjoyed the Black Cow and have spent much of my academic career studying there, so this experience has really left a sour taste. I won’t be returning.

This charming local coffee shop is simply fantastic. I often stop by for my morning coffee and source all my coffee beans here (I bring my own container to refill, as my household aims to minimize waste). The staff is always friendly, skilled, and efficient. I have never had a disappointing drink; my go-to choice is a classic cappuccino. It’s also a cozy spot to relax, chat, or get some work done. I'm so glad I live nearby!

The best coffee spot I've been to in Westchester. Both locations are wonderful but I visit the Pleasantville location most, the staff, coffee, and environment is incredible. A

Consistently top-tier coffee with service that goes above expectations. This is the template for the ‘local coffee experience.’ Few rivals in Westchester for quality beans.
