You don’t have time to stand in line for fifteen minutes just to get a decent cup of coffee. That’s exactly why we built something different here in Concourse Village.
Our self-serving coffee machines mean you walk in, make your selection, and walk out with exactly what you want—no waiting, no rushed orders, no inconsistent results. Just quality coffee when you need it.
The art on our walls changes regularly, featuring local Bronx artists. So while you’re getting your caffeine fix, you’re also supporting the creative community that makes this neighborhood special.
We opened The Café Galerie because Concourse Village deserved a real coffee spot—not another chain, not another place where you feel like you’re bothering someone by ordering.
This area has always been home to hardworking people who appreciate authenticity over flash. That’s exactly what we deliver: genuine coffee, genuine art, and a genuine commitment to this community.
You’ll find us combining the convenience of modern self-serve technology with the warmth of a neighborhood gathering place. It’s coffee shop meets art gallery, designed specifically for people who live and work right here.
Walk in and head straight to our self-serving coffee machines. Select your drink from our menu of classics—espresso, cappuccino, latte, or regular coffee—customize your strength and size, and press start.
The machine handles the grinding, brewing, and milk steaming automatically. No guesswork, no human error, just consistent quality every single time.
While your drink prepares, take a look around at the current art exhibition. Local artists rotate their work monthly, so there’s always something new to discover. Grab your coffee when it’s ready and enjoy it here or take it to go.

Every cup you buy here supports two things: your morning routine and local Bronx artists. We’re not just serving coffee—we’re creating a space where the community can connect with art and each other.
Our rotating gallery features painters, photographers, and mixed-media artists from throughout the Bronx. Each exhibition runs for about a month, giving you a reason to come back and see what’s new.
The self-serving setup means you’re never rushed through your experience. Take time to actually look at the art, sit with your coffee, or catch up with neighbors. This is your space, designed around your schedule and your community’s creative energy.
Our machines are designed to be completely intuitive—you don’t need any special training or coffee expertise. Simply choose your drink type from the digital menu, select your preferred size and strength, and the machine takes care of everything else.
The system grinds fresh beans, brews at the optimal temperature, and steams milk to the perfect consistency automatically. Each drink is made fresh to order, so you’re getting the same quality every time without depending on someone else’s skill level or mood.
If you run into any issues, we have simple instructions posted right next to each machine, and our staff is always available to help if needed.
Our self-serving machines offer all the classics you’d expect: espresso, americano, cappuccino, latte, macchiato, and regular drip coffee. You can customize the strength, choose your milk type (including non-dairy alternatives), and adjust the size.
We focus on doing the fundamentals really well rather than trying to offer fifty different specialty drinks. These machines are programmed to deliver café-quality versions of the drinks most people actually want.
The beauty of self-service is that you can make your drink exactly how you like it—stronger, weaker, more milk, less milk—without having to explain your preferences to someone else or worry about them getting it wrong.
We keep our food selection focused on items that pair well with coffee and don’t require extensive preparation. You’ll find fresh pastries, bagels, muffins, and light breakfast items that complement your coffee experience.
Our goal isn’t to be a full restaurant—we’re a coffee shop that happens to have good food options. Everything we offer is chosen to be grab-and-go friendly for people who need to get to work or school.
We source from local Bronx bakeries when possible, supporting other neighborhood businesses while ensuring you have quality options that actually taste good with your morning coffee.
The biggest difference is our self-serving setup, which eliminates wait times and ensures consistency. You’re not dependent on whether the person behind the counter is having a good day or knows how to make your drink properly.
We’re also the only coffee shop in Concourse Village that doubles as an art gallery, featuring rotating exhibitions by local Bronx artists. This gives you something new to experience each month while supporting the creative community.
Unlike chains that treat every location the same, we’re built specifically for this neighborhood. We understand that people here value authenticity, affordability, and convenience—and that’s exactly what we deliver.
Our pricing reflects the reality of serving a Bronx neighborhood, not Manhattan tourists. We keep costs reasonable because we’re part of this community, not trying to extract maximum profit from it.
The self-serving model also helps us maintain lower prices since we don’t need as much staff for basic drink preparation. Those savings get passed along to you in the form of more affordable coffee.
When you factor in the time you save by not waiting in line and the consistent quality you get from automated preparation, the value proposition becomes even stronger. You’re getting better coffee, faster service, and supporting local art—all at prices that make sense for this neighborhood.
We rotate our art exhibitions monthly, featuring different local Bronx artists each time. This keeps the space fresh and gives you a reason to come back regularly to see what’s new.
We work directly with artists from throughout the borough, offering them a platform to showcase their work to the community. Each exhibition opening is a small event where you can meet the artist and learn about their work.
The art isn’t just decoration—it’s an integral part of what makes this space special. We believe coffee and creativity go hand in hand, and our rotating gallery ensures there’s always something new to discover while you’re enjoying your drink.
