You get consistent quality, your way, every single time. Plus, you’re supporting a local Highbridge business that actually understands what busy mornings look like in this neighborhood.
The Café Galerie isn’t just another coffee shop. We’re your neighbors, serving Highbridge with a unique blend of quality coffee and gallery atmosphere that you won’t find anywhere else in the Bronx.
We know this community. We know you need your coffee fast when you’re catching the 4 train to work. We know you want a place where you can actually sit and think, or meet up with friends without feeling rushed.
That’s why we invested in self-serving technology that puts you in control, while creating a space that feels like home. Local art on the walls, local people in the seats, and coffee that works for local budgets.
Walk up to our self-serving coffee machine. The touchscreen shows you everything – espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, regular coffee, even hot chocolate.
Pick your drink, then customize it. Extra shot? Done. Oat milk instead of regular? Easy. Less sugar? No problem. The machine remembers what you like for next time.
Pay with your card, phone, or cash. The machine starts brewing immediately, and in about 90 seconds, you’ve got a hot, fresh drink made exactly how you ordered it. No mistakes, no waiting, no stress.
Ready to get started?
Our self-serving coffee machines offer over 20 different drink combinations, from simple black coffee to complex specialty lattes. Every drink is made with quality beans and fresh ingredients.
The gallery atmosphere gives you something to look at while you drink – local Bronx artists rotating their work on our walls. Free WiFi if you need to work. Comfortable seating if you want to stay.
Located right in Highbridge, we’re easy to reach whether you’re walking from home, getting off the subway, or driving through the neighborhood. Parking is available, and we’re open early enough for your morning commute.
Our self-serving coffee machines are designed to be simple and fast. You walk up to the touchscreen, select your drink from the menu, and customize it however you want – different milk options, extra shots, flavoring, sugar levels.
After you make your selections, you pay using the card reader, your phone, or cash. The machine immediately starts brewing your drink using fresh beans and ingredients. Most drinks are ready in 60-90 seconds.
The best part is consistency. The machine makes your drink the exact same way every time, so you never have to worry about getting something different than what you ordered. Plus, it remembers your preferences if you want to save your usual order.
Our self-serving machines offer everything you’d expect from a full-service coffee shop. Regular coffee, espresso, cappuccinos, lattes, macchiatos, and americanos are all available. We also have hot chocolate and tea options.
You can customize any drink with different milk alternatives – oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, or regular milk. Add extra shots of espresso, choose your sugar level, and pick from several flavoring options like vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut.
The machines use quality coffee beans and fresh ingredients, so you’re getting café-quality drinks without the café wait times. Everything tastes like it was made by a skilled professional, because the technology ensures perfect brewing every single time.
Absolutely. We’re a local Highbridge business, and we price our drinks to work for our neighbors’ budgets. Our self-serving machines actually help us keep costs down, which means we can offer quality coffee at prices that make sense for this community.
Regular coffee starts at under $2, and even our specialty lattes are priced well below what you’d pay at corporate chains. We believe everyone deserves good coffee, not just people who can afford $6 drinks.
Plus, there’s no pressure to tip or buy extras. You pay exactly what’s on the screen, get exactly what you ordered, and that’s it. No hidden costs, no awkward moments at checkout.
Yes, we have comfortable seating throughout the café, plus free WiFi for anyone who needs to work or just wants to browse their phone. The gallery atmosphere gives you something interesting to look at – we rotate local Bronx artists’ work on our walls regularly.
It’s a good mix of people who grab their coffee and go, and people who like to sit and relax. You’re not rushed either way. Some people come in just to use the WiFi and hang out, and that’s perfectly fine with us.
The space is designed to feel welcoming whether you’re by yourself with a laptop, meeting a friend, or just taking a break from walking around the neighborhood. We want to be the kind of place where Highbridge residents feel comfortable spending time.
We’re located right in the heart of Highbridge, easily accessible whether you’re walking from the residential areas, coming from the subway, or driving through the neighborhood. We’re close to major streets and public transportation, making us convenient for commuters.
Our self-serving machines allow us to offer extended hours compared to traditional coffee shops. Since the machines handle the drink-making, we can stay open longer without needing extra staff, which means more convenience for you.
Parking is available for customers who drive, and we’re within walking distance of most Highbridge residential areas. The location was chosen specifically to serve this community, so we’re where you need us to be.
The combination of self-serving technology and gallery atmosphere makes us unique. You get the speed and consistency of automated coffee-making, but in a space that actually has character and supports local artists.
Most coffee shops make you choose between fast service or a nice atmosphere. Chain places are fast but feel corporate and impersonal. Local places have character but often have long waits and inconsistent quality. We give you both.
Plus, we’re actually from this community. We understand what Highbridge residents need – affordable prices, quick service, a welcoming space, and no pretentious attitude. We’re not trying to be something we’re not. We’re just trying to make great coffee accessible to our neighbors.
