Picture this: fresh coffee, melty pizza, street tacos, ice cream, and cold beer in hand while live rock music drifts through the park. Kids darting between a bounce house, face painting, rescue animals, and a petting zoo. Everywhere you turn, there’s something to taste, try, or learn.

We recently bought a BRAND NEW, beautiful, Cadillac of an ice cream machine…just in time for spring days and porch life. This week we’ll feature Vanilla and Coffee - next week we’ll see. We have milkshakes and specials and cones and dishes and toppings and whipped cream and chocolate sauce and caramel and marshmallows and so much more. Come have a browse and find out why we’re the greatest ice cream stop around. Our quality is the best, our specials are amazing and sitting upstairs or in the garden to enjoy is just the best. Come watch the town go by and find your friends here.

Two weeks until the official unveiling, but we have been working with Artists for Humanity (AFH) on an outside piece of art for the Katonah Reading Room that you are just absolutely going to LOVE.

We are so thrilled to announce that a kind benefactor wants to bring this art to our town of Katonah! It’s bright and cheerful and happy and so beautiful. I can’t wait to show you. Save the date: April 18th from 3-7pm during the first Katonah Art Walk of the spring. All ages welcome (and will love the art)!

People have been asking about our upstairs seating lately…here’s a primer….

1. Seating is open EVERY day during our regular business hours. That’s seven days a week.

2. All events occur in our EVENT space so regular seating is not impacted.

3. Yes, you can work here.

4. No, outside food is not welcome. We sell food and drinks, so using the space and not buying what we offer is just sort of, not cool.

That’s all. Just a cafe trying to offer everything we can. Enjoy the cool space. Work on what you need to, visit with a friend, read a book, use it however it feels good. Enjoy!!!!

Jenny Lawson, author of one of my favorite books “Furiously Happy” is back with “How to be Okay When Nothing is Ok” - basically a guide to surviving yourself in a world that is not always kind or helpful to people with depression, anxiety and other mental health issues, Jenny treats her struggles with a sense of humor and wit that just tickles the right spot for me, and maybe makes us all feel a little less alone. The book releases Tuesday, text us to grab yourself a copy, 914.334.8019.
