This past weekend, I spent most of my daylight hours couped up by my computer working on quite a few things for the office. On Saturday, we had evening plans so I decided to stay local and find a cafe to work from to draw inspiration. Sherri and Baby Jenkins went out with the girls so I had a free afternoon.
Sherri and I have dinner every now and then in Dobbs Ferry and each time we go, we always see restaurants/stores that we’d love to go back to… but it never happens.
Well, it did happen and I spent Saturday afternoon at the newly opened Bo Cafe. It’s fairly tucked away amidst the main road of shops but once inside, it’s a fairly modern looking cafe. It reminded me of some of the cafes in Zurich (Switzerland) that I had visited in 2005/2007. I had just played tennis with my buddy Adam so I wanted to eat something relatively healthy and had a sandwich and coffee. The coffee is fairly strong and dark but if you enjoy Starbucks, you’ll probably be a fan.
They have free Wifi and the staff was extremely friendly and while they let me do my work alone, they engaged in conversation were more than happy to speak when I took a few moments break. There were about 8-10 tables in the place and probably don’t hold many people, so finding a table during busy times may be difficult. They serve brunch and lunch, as well, as dinner and after dinner drinks – they have a liquor license and serve wine/beer. One of the waitresses told me that they have live jazz on Friday nights… could be a nice change of pace here in Westchester.
All in all, I was extremely impressed with the place. They even have homemade gelato that looked amazing. I may or may not have had a taste of their Rocher Bois gelato :)
19 Cedar Street, Dobbs Ferry is the address / 914-231-9130
Westchester needs more cafes like this. LoHud has a review they just penned on the establishment as well.

I happened to pass by the area today and found Bo Cafe’. The place is closed down since Nov 15, 2009. It is very sad to see this place close their door for good. It is such a nice neighborhood place to hang out at night. Oh, well.. If I have it my way, I will re-open this place.
Today, I called and spoke to the landlord and agreed to take over the place.. So, please come back to visit the new Bo Cafe’ ( I might not be able to keep the same name )
