The Local

Friendly, busy, but productive, this place can serve up coffee or breakfast with the best of them. Inside or outside, they have the standard fare.

The twist here, the bagel sandwiches are pressed, like a panini. Pretty cool.

Great local coffee shop which also serves really great food! Warm atmosphere, friendly staff. We had coffee each day we were in town, was great. Had breakfast the first day, all our food was made fresh to order and it was well worth the cost. On the second day we stopped in for just coffee on our tree turn from lunch, I wished we had come here for lunch instead of where we came from, the sandwiches I saw looked amazing! I will definitely be back next time I am in town.

Great dining experience. We had lunch and just enjoyed ourselves. Artwork by local artists on the walls; friendly and professional staff and great food. As the name implies, this local restaurant is the place to go for a good meal. Highly recommended.

Friendly service and sandwiches to go were mostly good after a 20 minute wait during a holiday week (which was completely understandable.)
We opted for the OG panini, the Captain panini and the club sandwich on toasted bread. However when we got home, the club sandwich bread was pretty burnt. We ate it but will get a panini the next time instead of wheatberry bread.

Edit: thanks to The Local for making this right - it's really, really appreciated and I've updated my review from 4 to 5 stars as well!

This place is great! It really is a local gem. The food is great with local ingredients (as possible). The coffee is amazing. What really struck me was how friendly the owner was and how adorable the decor is. I love the local artisan goods for sale - art, skin cream, and more. Will definitely be back.

Great find, fresh food, welcoming atmosphere. Nice variety on menu.

Great food and kind service. Bigger city style salads and paninis. Charming dog friendly courtyard and a fun clothing shop next door and across the street. Soup is always good. It’s all a bit higher in price than I’d prefer but I’m so thankful it’s here in Irvington! One of only two places to get hand crafted espresso in the area. The only one in Irvington.

The atmosphere is so warm and inviting, it really makes you feel like a local even though you may just be passing through! The food is delicious and served with a welcoming smile!

I can't wait to come back and enjoy a cup of coffee and an avocado toast with the other "locals"!

Great small place to get breakfast and coffee, Good food and good price

This place was exactly what I was looking for in a local sandwich and coffee shop. Folks were friendly; seating was spacious. I think they add a packet of ranch seasoning to their potato salad and it's freaking awesome
