Café Deux
307 Halstead Ave, Harrison
Luckily for you, our 2024 Best of Westchester editor’s pick for wagyu burger is from this Harrison café and featured on its brunch menu. Café Deux was opened by two sisters who crafted a menu inspired by traditional French cuisine and reimagined American comfort food. The all-day café serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but its brunch fare features a healthy mix of sandwiches, egg dishes, and pastries. Located steps away from the Harrison train station, this eatery is all about inventive dishes and creative cocktails that are not to be missed.
