LAUGHING HORSE is that rare kind of place where you crave not only themoutstanding coffee and pastries but you crave the oh-so-relaxed and welcoming atomosphere. Since I'm a transplant from NYC I used to wrongly assume that Westchester venues would keep the same late hours as my go-to places in the city.Wrong! A few times I arrived and was so disappointed at their early weekend close that, being the coffee-nerd that I am, I began calling in advance to make sure they were open. The owners, Mike and Alli, are so incredibly accommodating that sometimes when I arrived 2 minutes before close they would make me the drink of my choice and not even rush me out the door (other coffee venues would happily say "we're closed, sorry" at that time). I have to say, never in my life have I viewed the social media of a coffee place, but the posts are silly and sometimes include mouth-watering-must-have drinks. Since they also serve wine and beer, they have a little tiny bar area where I like to sit & sip my coffee. Alli and Mike are charismatic, curious, and kind bar-tenders who are always willing to engage and get to know their customers. Even though Alli and Mike are not technically close friends, when visiting Laughing Horse I feel like I'm visiting old friends. They are the kind of people you feel instantly comfortable with. In addition to all that, and the delicious Iced-Cortado's, the place is super comfy, cozy, and well designed--you want to just hang there. What also really moves me is that Mike and Alli are good peeps - they interested in building the community and offer varied creative events where it is easy to meet and talk to people. All I can say is WHAT A PLACE. I love it. Thank you for being as wonderful as you are and for coming to Harrison. I will keep...

Read moreAbsolutely love this place. Beyond the great coffee, tea, snacks, beer and wine, owners Mike and Ali and their staff make every visit a delight. My daughter loves coming here after school for hot cocoa and chats with Ali. One of my favorite local spots.
We also hosted our daughter's first birthday party here and it went incredibly well. The space is perfect - plenty of room inside for a big group (including room for decorations and other entertainment) with a great patio out front. Very reasonable rate to rent the space, and the owners were helpful and flexible with planning...
