Espressohuis

Top notch eatery....amazing food, friendly service, great ambiance (inside and on the exquisite deck).

Love everything at this place! Espresso and espresso drinks are about as good as they get!

Perfection is in every detail of this pretty eatery that just opened on Ferry Street (Route 29).  Located in a narrow slice of an historic building along the Hudson River, the cafe has immaculate, contemporary decor with exposed brick walls, free wi-fi, rotating exhibits featuring local photographers and artists, and both indoor and outdoor seating (the deck is perched on the riverbank with serene water views).   I quickly accepted the counter staff's suggestion that I try an eggplant on foccacia (roasted eggplant, three cheeses, lettuce, tomato, onion, roasted red peppers & sun-dried tomato, and kalamata olive tapenade on foccacia) at $6, and then absorbed myself in the great photography while he prepared  it fresh along with a fresh squeezed brazil lemonade ($3).  Both were absolutely delicious.  I ordered to-go (my focaccia came with a pickle and potato chips, and the lemonade was strong enough to dilute into two portions when I arrived home to eat).  The coffee served here is small batch roasted within 72 hours of arrival, is fair trade and organic.  The menu offers all the usual coffee drinks ($1.25 to $3.75), as well as all natural fruit smoothies ($3), assorted pastries and muffins, crustless quiches made to order with your choice of meat, cheese and veggies ($3), and panini style sandwiches ($5 or $6).  

Profits from this community restaurant are donated to a range of charitable activities, as if the delicious food and relaxing, hip ambiance aren't enough reason to check this place out.

Open 7-5 Monday thru Friday, 8 - 5 Saturday.
