We know that 58% of Morrisania residents don’t own cars and rely on public transportation. That’s why we’re positioned perfectly for your daily commute, whether you’re catching the train or bus.
Our self-serving coffee machines offer over 20 different drink combinations, from traditional espresso to flavored lattes, all priced with neighborhood budgets in mind. No premium coffee shop markup, no confusing menu – just quality coffee that works for real people with real schedules.
Our gallery space rotates monthly, featuring artists from Morrisania and the broader Bronx community. It’s not just about coffee; it’s about celebrating the creativity and culture that makes this neighborhood unique. Every visit supports both your caffeine needs and local artistic talent.
Our self-serving coffee machine uses touchscreen technology that walks you through every step. You select your drink type, customize strength and size, choose any add-ins like milk or flavor shots, then pay with cash or card.
The machine grinds fresh beans and prepares your drink in under two minutes. It’s designed for consistency – the same great taste every time, without depending on staff availability or training. Perfect for busy mornings when you need quality coffee fast.
The interface is simple enough that first-time users figure it out immediately, but sophisticated enough to create exactly the drink you want. No barista needed, no waiting in line, just reliable coffee when you need it.
We’re the only coffee shop in Morrisania that combines self-serving technology with a rotating art gallery. You get convenience without sacrificing quality, and community connection without the wait times.
Most coffee options in the neighborhood are either fast food chains or bodegas with basic coffee. We bridge that gap – offering specialty coffee quality at neighborhood prices, served through technology that respects your time.
Plus, our gallery space showcases local Morrisania and Bronx artists, changing monthly. You’re not just getting coffee; you’re supporting local culture and connecting with your community’s creative side. It’s coffee with purpose.
Absolutely. We specifically designed our pricing to work for neighborhood budgets, not Manhattan coffee shop prices. Our self-serving model eliminates labor costs that get passed to customers, so you pay for quality coffee, not expensive overhead.
Basic coffee starts under $2, and even our specialty drinks with multiple customizations stay well below what you’d pay at chain coffee shops. We’re not trying to be the cheapest option – we’re trying to be the best value.
You get consistent, fresh-ground coffee that tastes like it came from a premium cafe, but priced for people who live and work in Morrisania. Good coffee shouldn’t be a luxury; it should be accessible to everyone in the community.
Yes, we have comfortable seating designed for both quick stops and longer visits. Whether you need five minutes to drink your coffee before catching the train, or want to spend an hour catching up with friends, we have space that works.
Our gallery setting creates a calm, welcoming atmosphere that’s perfect for conversation, reading, or just taking a break from the busy street outside. Free WiFi is available if you need to handle work or personal tasks.
The space is designed to feel like a community hub – somewhere neighbors naturally gather and connect. You’ll often see regulars who’ve made The Café Galerie part of their daily routine, creating the kind of local gathering place that makes neighborhoods stronger.
Our machine offers over 20 different combinations, from classic black coffee and espresso to specialty drinks like cappuccinos, lattes, and flavored options. You can customize strength, size, milk type, and add flavor shots to create exactly what you want.
Popular options include traditional espresso drinks, American-style coffee, iced beverages, and seasonal specialties. The machine uses fresh-ground beans for every cup, not pre-made concentrates, so you get authentic coffee shop quality.
Everything is clearly labeled on the touchscreen with descriptions, so you know exactly what you’re ordering. If you’re not sure what you want, the machine suggests popular combinations, or you can experiment with different options until you find your perfect drink.
Our rotating art gallery exclusively features artists from Morrisania and the broader Bronx community, giving local creative talent a platform to showcase their work. Every month brings new pieces, so there’s always something fresh to discover.
We’re also committed to being a true neighborhood business – hiring locally when possible, sourcing supplies from area vendors, and reinvesting profits back into the community rather than sending money to corporate headquarters elsewhere.
Beyond that, we provide a gathering space where neighbors can connect, local groups can meet informally, and the community can come together. In a neighborhood that’s often overlooked, we’re here to celebrate what makes Morrisania special while serving the practical needs residents have for quality, affordable coffee.
