Welcome to Cafe Taureau!

Located in beautiful Ardsley Park, we are a new cafe/coffeeshop looking to serve our neighbors and customers in a wonderful, European-inspired environment serving coffee/teas, light breakfast and lunch, baked goods and pastries, with afternoon charcuterie. We also offer beer and wine by the glass and have a wonderful marche' (market) allowing guests to grab a baguette or other delectables to go; perfect for a picnic in the park or a token of hospitality on the way to dinner at a friend's home.
