Item Description

"Bo Café is a lively neighborhood spot in Dobbs Ferry

It's an unusual style of restaurant for our neck of the woods: during the day it's a café; at night it's a wine bar.

General Manager Karen Lappin was a Manhattan wine consultant for 10 years. "We really wanted to make Bo two restaurants. Daytime we play Paris café music and offer breakfast pastries and great paninis. Then we switch the mood with jazz and candles for late-night strollers."

That might mean apple turnovers, flaky croissant or white chocolate-raspberry scones to dunk in a macchiato. Bo's own label coffee was developed especially for the café, and there are unique coffee drinks on the menu, such as the Shekerato (espresso flavored with vanilla and shaken with ice) and the Marocchino (a mini cappuccino served in a glass with cocoa powder and cream).

The lunch menu includes grilled chicken, pesto and mozzarella sandwiches, grilled on ciabatta, grilled veggie wraps or housemade mango sorbet and pistachio gelato troweled into a cup. In the evening, you might find commuters stopping in on the way home for a glass of Chilean malbec or an Ommegang Three Philosophers and a plate of spicy beef empanadas.

On weekends when you just want a sunset or late-night stroll to get out of the house, the silvery tables, sleek booths and comfy acid-green chairs and stools will be there for you.

A bruschetta trio - tapenade, tomato-onion and eggplant - is shareable and summery. Lappin says patrons come by for desserts and coffees after eating at other restaurants, too. Fruit soup or fig tart, a fruit and cheese platter, maybe? With a glass of port? Marie Evans, formerly of the award-winning Pastry Chicks and Tavern on the Green in Manhattan, created the appealing pastry and after-dinner menus.

Bo Café is a sweet local spot for sweets, nibbles and late-night treats. It's like visiting that old friend down the block." - LoHud.com
