Hayfields Cafe & Florist — Restaurant in Town of North Salem

Attended Cars and Coffee this past Sunday as I have done many times over the years. I arrived a bit later than normal and had to park across the street. As always the service is great, the coffee is wonderful and the baked goods are the best. About 10:30 I walked over to my car, that was parked off the street where I have parked before, and where others park every week, and noticed a ticket on the windshield. There was a parked police car and a local Cop running from car to car giving out parking tickets for cars parked everywhere. I was given a ticket for parking in a no parking zone. There is no signage noting it is a no parking zone but I guess several of us were supposed to guess and find parking elsewhere. In the past North Salem police have harassed Cars and Coffee attendees by giving out tickets for not having front license plates. I will protest this ticket but the new Hayfield’s Owners need to build a relationship with the local police dept. I am a regular attendee and have also used 1600 Veloce, across the street, to service my car. Future...

I was able to go to Hayfields for a Yelp event and this review is based off of that experience. *

I had a really great time at Hayfields last weekend for a plant and sip! We learned about microgreens from tiny greens farm, planted our own microgreens, tasted some great food samples with microgreens incorporated, and had a few drinks! I really enjoyed learning about the health benefits of the microgreens and it seems very eco friendly as well which I also love! It was really fun to plant our own kit. We were able to choose from the broccoli rabe or rainbow radish. Luckily my bf could join this event as well so we got one of each to take home! As you'll see in my photos, they grow really well! I also really enjoyed learning about hayfields in general in that it had been an old gas station, turned farmers market, turned cafe/flower shop. The owner said they have vintage cars and coffee Saturdays that I think would be a fun stop! The food was also delicious. I'd definitely want to stop by hayfields another time to check out what more they...

FIVE STARS! * By definition espresso is a 1.5 ounce beverage that is prepared from 7-9 grams of coffee, of which clear, HOT water of about 195(F) degrees has been forced or pressurized through fine quality grinds, the brewing "flow" time approximately a mere 22-28 seconds. While brewing, the flow of a good espresso will appear to have the viscosity of warm honey and the resulting beverage will exhibit a thick dark goldish and tan cream foam ("crema") topping.

My definition is all of the above....and, enjoying the beauty of garden plants, being in good company, having a pastry or muffin, and taking home a generous cut of fresh carrot cake w/cream cheese frosting for a late night snack.

Hayfields offers me this little bit of peace every Sunday morning, and is very dog friendly for myself and “Jack”- the Jack Russell- (yeah, I know, real original).

I enjoy the attentive staff and ever-changing displays and can’t wait for the kitchen to open to stay...
