TL:DR - Overpriced/poor quality.
I really wanted to love this spot. I ordered an iced coffee and mini key lime pie, which was NOT a key lime pie, but really a pudding surrounded by soggy, sweaty, damp 'crust'. After a single bite, I pushed the plate away (blech!) and just drank my coffee.
At checkout, I returned the barely touched pie to the cashier, explaining it was inedible. Without a visible trash bin, I preferred to hand it over rather than slide a dish with food back into the dish return. She apologized and asked me if I wanted something else, (I didn't), but I opted for a stuffed donut anyway, as it seemed she was offering to make good on the inedible 'pie'. I wasn't expecting anything, but typically when a customer tells a restaurant that something is inedible, they either replace it for something else or remove the charge. Not here!
Imagine my surprise when she rung me up and the total was $25?! A closer look revealed the coffee ($3) and both the pie ($14) AND the consolation donut ($7) on the tab. She said she lacked the authority to remove the charge for the pie, so I told her "I get that, but you're going to charge me for the consolation donut too?" She said she couldnāt give me a 'free' donut, so I asked her to just remove the donut and begrudgingly paid for something I didn't even eat. I essentially paid $18 for an iced coffee. Hence, this review.
Irvington offers many lovely cafes - this one proved disappointing. I rarely leave negative reviews, yet this experience calls for a fair...
Ā Ā Ā Read morePerfect Motherās Day breakfast at Red Barn Bakery, Irvington. It has become my favorite morning locale, after discovering it quite by accident having come to Irvington for other reasons.
Whether it is excellent specialty coffee you crave, or breads that are healthy, hearty and creative, delectables that are sweet, savories that fill you just enough, it is a delightful and warm atmosphere, with food that is made to perfection.
My biggest problem with Red Barn is that I am not creative enough myself to vary from the wonderful things I have discovered- from avocado toast on their homemade bread, to their local farm fresh kale and tomato omelette, to their homemade fig jam on their brioches - I always know that there is more to explore (including the gourmet macaroni and cheese that is simply too tempting ), but it is very hard to vary when youāre in love with what youāve found already.
There is room to sit and linger over a true meal, or it is the perfect spot to grab a picnic and head to the waterfront park. And if Iām being truly honest - Iām loving the fact that they actually have a w.c.
For my family our special treat is parking along the aqueduct in Dobbs Ferry, and slowly walking to this wonderful bakery that you will find at the bottom of the hill of Main Street (and to the left ) in Irvington.
Randellās creations are eye catching and delicious- the atmosphere is soothing with hints of ivy against the stone.
I hope you enjoy one of my...
