The Ferryman Cafe

I love the food here. The staff are great, too. Very friendly and always serving with a smile. I mostly eat breakfast here, although I have tried the burgers. Quite tasty. There is meter parking on the street and a municipal lot less than a block away.

The breakfast was worth the price, and it was affordable. I couldn't finish mine and I dined here every morning I was in sleepy hollow for over a year. Best breakfast around.

First place I ever ate at in Dobbs Ferry, and now we're frequent visitors. Really good breakfast and the people who work there are nice - always makes my day to see Michelle, who gave us a warm welcome when we first moved to town!

Food is made fresh every day. Carmelo, the owner, is a very friendly guy and he will jump in the kitchen with the staff to get food made in a timely manner for you. Great spot always filled with locals who love to hang out there. The staff are more than accommodating to the clientele. Always putting new items on the specials chalk board for those feeling adventurous outside of the normal foods they always serve. If what you want isn't on the menu, they will do their best and make it for you, pending that they have the ingredients. Almost always eat there.

Great place, cute little cafe with good food. Owner and staff are very nice people and happily willing to satisfy and accommodate their customers 🙂

Very tasty chicken tacos w cheese, lettuce and pico-de-gallo. Two fill me up. Pick anything from the extensive menu and you get a quality dish.

Great little place if you want breakfast. Haven't tried lunch there yet.

The young lady who helped us today made this place feel so at home. The food was good and the service was beyond excellent! We were in the area and just found the place with a Google search but will definitely be back and send others your way! Enjoyed the outdoor seating area.

Nice small cafe in Dobbs Ferry across from the fire station. The breakfast specials are very good. I had chorizo eggs and beans and it was very good. Breakfast and lunch spot.

Great little place to grab some breakfast or lunch. I've stopped there 2x now while on road trips.

Food was okay but quick. The location is great and there is lots of free parking nearby.

Update on Nov 9, 2025. Abysmal service. Counter clerk didn’t know what muffins they have in display cabinet by cash register. Requested to eat in and food wrapped to go with no plate or utensils. Coffee lukewarm. Go elsewhere!

So this is a place I literally found because it's near a laundromat that I use for the purpose of washing my big blankets. To be clear I visited this place once a week for 5 weeks straight. Their are 2 cooks. One cook the older Spanish man with a head full of gray hair is extremely rude. One of those 5 times I came there to eat in i had a breakfast special and decided to add a muffin to my order. Well after eating and requesting the rest of my order to go I requested the muffin to be packed as well. The young lady behind the counter forgot to pack the muffin with my leftover platter. I did not realiz this until way later on as I was scheduled to go to work shortly after. I never called the establishment to quote on quote tell them about the muffin, because it's just a muffin I truly did not think I needed to call and report a missing muffin.... Well let's keep in mind that this missing muffin is not something that happened the last time I eat at Ferryman it happened one of the previous times before. So today I happen to be going to the laundromat next door and I decided to go to the ferryman cafe to order the same exact thing that I have always ordered. 2 eggs over easy with bacon homefires and tost. I told the woman behind the counter about my missing muffin because it was not the younger woman behind the counter today it was the older one so I just mentioned it so that she can mabe coach the younger server. I never said I wanted the muffin to be replaced. But before I could finish my sentence the older spanish cook with the gray hair literally started arguing with me he tried to call me a liar saying and I quote "I don't no why you saying that because i packed your muffin the last time you came hear. What is so interesting to me is that The last time I was there i NEVER ordered a muffin because they didn't have the one I wanted. the cook kept on saying things as if I was making this up. First off I am a respiratory therapist who owns 2 homes in dobbs ferry and I am hospital employee who makes almost $139,000 a year. The absolute nerve of this man. When I pointed out that I only told the lady behind the counter about the muffin so that she can coach the younger server and I was not looking for a replacement muffin nor the 3 or 4 dollars back he then stop accusing me of trying to finesse them out of a muffin. This man also is very disgusting I witnessesed him sneeze in the kitchen without trying to cover his mouth after he got himself a free cup of coffee. I truly will not be spending my money in that establishment ever again and believe me I will be spreading the word around my 2 jobs and around dobbs ferry. This was by far a horrible experience. I felt as if he discriminated against me because I am not all dressed up in a professional outfit. Any women reading this understands that understands that we do not need to put on make up nor a lab coat to go to the laundromat. It's straight sweats and a shirt and a jacket. But hey this is the worls we live in today where a spanish or Mexican man can go around acting like he has the wherewithal to discriminate.

They over charge and always forget the sides , it’s not right to not pack the food correctly when the food is expensive as is. It’s a repetitive thing and no longer will be a customer.

Ordered a Mexican omelette, they sent a mushroom omelette which I’m allergic too. They also labeled it as huevos con chorizo, even though that wasn’t ordered or provided. Check your food and double check that they actually read your order
