Having recently moved into White Plains, I’ve been checking out local businesses near my apartment. A few days ago I noticed the Hastings Tea Coffee cafe on Main Street and couldn’t help but appreciate how happy their customers limbed who were seated at their outside tables enjoying their drinks. I decided that I had to drop by for an almond latte. When I walked into the cafe I was surprised to see that in addition to the impressive coffee, tea and desserts, they also sold bottles of wine snd even have a wine of the month club! While I was there, I watched how dedicated the staff was in helping their other customers and when I asked Jay if he could help me buy a bottle of wine, he suggested...
Upon entering the café, I was pleasantly surprised to find that, in addition to their impressive selection of coffee, tea, and desserts, they also offered bottles of wine and even had a wine of the month club! While I was there, I observed the dedication of the staff as they assisted other customers. When I asked Jay for help in selecting a bottle of wine, he recommended I speak with Bill, who had more expertise in their wine offerings.
After spending about twenty minutes learning about their selections, I ended up purchasing a Spanish wine from Portugal and a red from France. I’m not a wine connoisseur, but my friends were impressed by my choices. What started as a simple coffee run turne...
Very disappointed. When you have a great product, but your employees are lazy and refuse to serve an espresso drink at 6:10 pm because you are closing at 7. (After me and another customer was waiting for 2/3 minutes at the completely e pry store, while the two ladies were chatting in the back. We could have taken few nice bottle of Pinot Grigio. No problem! Across the street at the book store there’s a Starbucks. Wanted to support local business, instead of the big corporations… I wish I could, but the small business prefers to walk down the road of bankruptcy. Never gonna try again getting a white chocolate mocha from this place , however it’s delicious.
My favorite local coffee shop. I would rather go here and support a local business than go across the street to Starbucks any day! My favorites are an iced caramel latte with oat milk (absolutely the best) or an iced matcha with oat milk. The staff is always super friendly and welcoming! Update: as much as I enjoy the coffee from here, it’s a bit ridiculous that their staff refuses to exchange change so that you can feed the meter. If I’m spending over $25 at your shop, the least you can do is give me 4 quarters in exchange for $1.

This is a lovely little café. The staff is friendly and the espresso is exceptional. I chatted with the manager, Frankie, who mentioned that the espresso is sourced from a local business. As someone who was born and raised in Italy and lived in New York City for over a decade, I can confidently say this is some of the best espresso I've had in NYC. I will definitely be returning!
I walked in the cafe and I couldn’t find a seat. So I stepped out and said ‘it’s full’ to the staff behind the counter. The blonde bleached hair woman behind the counter rolled her eyes at me. Such an arrogant employee you have there. This will be my last time going to this cafe. I would rather go to a cafe that has a nice, safe and friendly environment.
This is not good coffee. I ordered a cappuccino and it is just a big cup of hot milk and espresso. There is no foam whatsoever and wayy too much milk for a cappuccino- you can’t even taste the coffee at all. It’s also almost boiling hot? I don’t know what’s going on back there with the baristas, but this is not how you make a cappuccino.
Very lazy and rude employees. Even if the place is busy, they didn't acknowledge any of the waiting customers or say they'll be with us shortly. They completely ignored everyone and many of us were waiting more than half an hour in line before we gave up and left, realizing they were purposely avoiding serving us.

Love this place! Skip Starbucks and come here for the terrific coffee and great tea selection (blueberry iced has been my favorite). They also have wine and music in the evenings. Cute little outdoor seating area too.
Best Tea Shop around. Love the Green Tea Ginger Twist! It's so much more than just tea! Besides tea and coffee, they also offer a great selection of wine. Must try!
