I can't speak for the regular coffee, but the Caramelo, which is a mocha latte with caramel drizzle, is absolutely amazing. And they put whipped cream on top! Also, they have a fun collection of magnets to compliment the fun and quirky collection of people who hang out here.

I think they make their coffee once a week and serve it stale. Coffee has to be pretty bad for two people in a row behind me to complain about it.
That said, I could picture a lazy sunday morning here, its fairly cozy inside. Just be sure to bring your own coffee... -

I normally do love getting coffee at Slave. I love the ambience, I love the music, and the coffee is usually decent, BUT today I had a very unpleasant experience.
Wanting to bring my boyfriend's parents each a bag of coffee, I filled two bags with the ever popular Dancing Goats blend, recommended by the barista. I expected to be charged by the pound, but I didn't expect two pounds of coffee to cost me over $30! I know, I know, "buyer beware," caveat emptor, yadayada, but woah! I could've been told how much my total was before the beans were ground!
Not only that, but my order, the Carmello, hadn't even been rung up yet, bringing my order to over $35! Mind you, I'll pay $5 for a small, warm drink if it's tasty and it supports local business, but I'm normally charged $4 for a small, not $5. That's another gripe I've had about Slave: different people may charge different prices for different reasons. I don't necessarily believe they're trying to cheat people, but there is definitely a lack of consistency among the employees when it comes to operations. I mean, how does one person charge an extra $.25 for a latte and $.75 for extra caramel and chocolate (btw, I never order "extra" anything anywhere, so why am I getting charged extra for stuff, especially when I've gotten charged $4 for the drink the last three times I've had it, not $5? AND, I never got chocolate on my drink, so why is it there now???). I asked the barista why I was being charged a dollar extra on a drink that normally costs $4, and the response was that all the chocolate, caramel, and whipped cream rack up an extra $.75 and the drink goes up by another $.25 because it's a latte. That either means I was given a size I didn't order (medium instead of small), I was charged extra for stuff for which I shouldn't be charged extra, or again, different people charge different prices.
Any one of those options is bad news, and they have all happened to me at Slave at one time or another. I'd like to stay a loyal customer and not give my money to the douchebags at Starf***s around the corner (those people are usually such jerks), but Idk if I can do that. I think this is the last straw.
My advice to the owners, train your employees in techniques so the drinks taste consistent and have the same ingredients, provide them with a price list so they all charge the same price for drinks, and provide customers with a comprehensive list of the prices of different blends by the pound. -

It's a laid-back, quiet(er) place for locals that want to escape from the busy Starbucks around the corner; it's also good if you're in the mood to immerse yourself into Sarah Lawrence folks.
It's not as pretentious as the name or crowd may seem, though you'll want to explore new flavors and proceed to feel good about yourself for trying that vanilla iced coffee. -

Well well, I normally would not go into doucheries (better known as cafes) for fear of being overwhelmed by pretentio-douchery. However my friend lured me in here with the promise of free coffee/tea, so I accepted.
The only thing I got here was a vanilla chai (feel douchey just saying that). However....mmmmmm it was good. It was sweet, but not overpoweringly so, and had a nice light vanilla flavor. I drank this on a sunny 85 degree (Fahrenheit of course, we're Americkinz) without a real problem, so that should tell you how nice and light it is. And delicious. If it weren't for the "brobrobrobro" cashiers, I would willingly come back here to try their other confections. -

Was jonesing a jolt after having a few cocktails.
Came in as they were cleaning everything out/up and were already sweeping up. Dunzo.
Super friendly barista was like, "sure I'll make u something, no problem".
Ordered a dirty chai in the large size. Did not realize that was a vat of tea.
Sat on the bench in front for awhile,sipping my vat and chillin.Listed in: Bronxville,Baby!

Why do coffee shops always attract weird geeky kids? No offense if you're one of those geeks. I'm genuinely curious.
Slave to the Grind is no exception. There's always a few hanging around out front whenever I go. I hope they actually purchase coffee when they have free time between debating whether Han or Greedo shot first and LARPing around on the sidewalk, the ones I see are never drinking anything.
Virgins aside, Slave is a cool little place and they have much better lattes and mochas thank Starbucks. I wish it was more convenient to my commute so I could drink better coffee more often.Listed in: Caffeinate me NYC!

Slave to the Grind is accountable for my addiction to caffeine, which started around the age of 13 or 14. Yes, this local coffee shop has been a part of the neighborhood for a while now. From when I was a skater punk and wanted to get lattes with my friends before a show, Slave to the Grind has espoused a very community-oriented, local mindset. Baristas know the regulars by first name and will catch up with you while you wait for your coffee.
The coffee, however can be disappointing. The drip coffee, available in a multitude of varieties and flavors, is very watery and thin. The espresso for the espresso-based drinks is a little bitter.
Good luck finding a seat in this tiny shop! Or, you can just loiter outside with all of the skater kids and students.Listed in: An Espresso a Day Keeps the…, Southern Westchester

I'm not a fan. I don't like coffee and that's not what I'm rating. But if you're charging $2 for a tea, you better not be serving Lipton and continue what you were serving 10 years ago when I first came in.
Seriously. Lipton. At $2. For a cup and water and a bag.
The crowd of geeky kids aren't that bad. I know them. No, they're not virgins. No, we're not friends. They're just people and this happens to be their hangout, I think, because bars have too many sloppy people around them. And frankly, to be too sloppy for this crowd is saying something.
However, if you don't know anyone, this isn't a good hangout to meet people. There are college students but they don't seem interested in talking to new people, and the "geeky" kids will talk to you if they have a compelling reason to.
But I can't get over the $2 Lipton. -

Overall coffee is pretty good and the atmosphere is just right if you come in at the right time. Its a nice alternative to Starbucks. Im guessing summer hours are different compared to non-summer hours.
Problem 1: The sign by the door clearly said 11pm for close. I've gone in a couple of times on the same day of the week only to find that they were "closing up" at whatever time they felt like it (10:15ish). Minus one star
Problem 2: They sell the small canned Illy coffee drinks. I was charged $4 for one when I've gotten it at other places for half the price. Whats with that? Because they can? Minus one star -

I loveee my NYC coffeehouses and this place just gives me one more reason to feel better about moving to Westchester.
It has a little bit of a grungy versus funky feel... but dark, cozy, and lots of quirky decorations to look at.
There could be some more comfortable seating, but there's plenty of tables and chairs available. -

Bad Coffee--cool indy business.
Great old-school atmosphere but crappy, too-loud music: how bout some VARIETY: jazz? Downtempo techno? Cool new pop stuff? Mellow R&B?
1 star for keeping a small independant biz going, in a nice old school setting.
WHY do the coffee fixings--(milk/sugar etc.) have to be RIGHT at the cashier counter? mega-lame. Clumsy and confusing. Is that to avoid free refills? How 'bout just placing them across from the cashier counter?
Big plus/positive: Wi-Fi -- if you had it, the place would FILL with even more kids just hangin' out, laptop statue people...clogging the chairs/tables and not buying coffee (maybe just 1 for a 3 hr sit), just surfing on their smartphones--good move!!
Message to 'Slave' owner (ooooh...maybe change that unfortunate name ma'm/sir...how 'bout just: "The Grind"??): Go out and do your homework on current coffee trends. The next great wave of serious coffees have arrived and you must get acquainted with that big ol' city down the MTA Metro North train line.
Marketing research suggestion: Sample some beans/drip coffee from Cafe Grumpy in Chelsea, Stumptown on W. 27th, and Joe right in Grand Central Terminal. The new wave of coffees are perfectly roasted, sustainably purchased/supporting and almost orgasmically delicious. Sorry: Slave to the Grind's coffee is sub-Starbucks in quality--roast, flavor, etc. Some minor tweaks in your business concept could move Grind from a mediocre, quaint college/local hangout to a REALLY GOOD quaint local hangout.
Service: the dudes running the bar spoke loudly to their girlfriends on cellphone (TMI), belched openly, and had a cluelessness in their style that simply amazed me. Myself, I burp/fart at home, talk loudly on the phone--when I'm ALONE. This is a BUSINESS. Train your people in basic human relations.
Finally: HORRIBLE coffee--I had your house blend in a mug (minor drama when I asked for a porcelain mug). House blend--should be your star blend, right?? The best basic bean in your lot. Awful: weak, uninteresting flavor, cheap crap. I call it like I see it and I love giving praise where it's due--but just couldn't here. -

I don't know that I am a slave to it but it was pretty good and much better in atmosphere than the Starbucks down the road.
The barista who made my iced soy chai latte really went out of his way to be helpful answering my many questions about ingredients and being friendly. And he made me a nice drink. :)
STTG certainly has a impressive number of whole bean coffee options but perhaps maybe too many. It was a bit overwhelming though what better to decorate a coffee shop with than beans (product)? Nevermind then.
I can understand why STTG is popular with the Sarah Lawrence crowd. Everyone needs those coffees to get them through the day and when I was a student, I was no exception. Wish I had had a place like STTG in which to hang out, I mean study. ;)

Coffee anyone ?
Another local favorite. Located in a nice area, almost similar to nyc. Nice looking place with a warm setting. Even though there are plenty of seats inside and a bench outside, I would recommend getting your drink to go and taking a nice little walk.
Coffee is pretty good. They have numerous ones to pick from. Hot and Cold drinks, too many to name and dozens of flavors. My drink of choice here is there Chai Tea. Whether it's hot or cold this is the best chai I have ever had. They also have a numerous amount of goodies ranging from cake to cookies. I also like their cinnamon muffin and chocolate brownie. The staff is pretty nice and they usually strike up a convo. I'm a fan of making a trip here at night time. Great summer spot.
Minimum of $10 for a debit card. Drinks are about the same price a starbucks but 10x better.
bathroom in the back, and some board games that you can use if you decide to stay for a bit. -

I don't think I could be on yelp and not review this coffee shop...
I said in my profile that I'd admit all my biases during my reviews...here it is: I work for Starbucks.
I used to work at the Starbucks down the street from Slave, so they are in competition. But here's when you know that the little guy has beaten the big money making machine (yes Sbux is a money making machine)...
Rumor around Bronxville has it that my former Starbucks store was put up down the street with the intent purpose of shutting down Slave (I can't get anyone to really confirm this, though.) That was over 10 years ago, and Slave is still up and running. Neither coffee shop has lost business.
Anyway...the downside of Slave is that it's so tiny. The way the place is set up is just really awkward...
They definitely have good coffee and other drinks. Altho, their prices are a little high (which I would assume they'd have to be when you're competing with Starbucks...and also by the fact that, HELLO, it's Bronxville!).
They have really good hot chocolate there, and really good frozen drinks. My mom used to love their Hazelnut coffee until her doctor traced her constant migraines to it.
You're bound to encounter a TON of Sarah Lawrence students there...yes, those artsy, hippy, emo, punk, ska, I'm cooler than everyone else types that refuse to give into The Man by walking the extra block to Starbucks or to Lange's. Me -- I'm bound to encounter my ex-boyfriend who thought that the week before Valentine's Day was the best time to announce we should see other people...
I've even heard that some of those celebrities who decide they want to go to college (and end up at SL) show up there...like Larisa Oleynik...yea admit it, you know who she is. You loved that show, didn't ya? Yea, I thought so... -

Came here for the first time on a date Friday night after Mexican food at Blue Moon Cafe around the corner. I was surprised it was open so late (this was at 9 p.m.); I kind of expected everything in Bronxville aside from movie theaters to shut down at 7 p.m. But Slave is open till midnight on Friday and Saturday.
I thought it was perfectly fine as a coffee shop. We didn't have dessert; she got coffee, and I got a green tea with banana flavoring (yum). I thought we were going to have to stand, as all the tables were occupied, but then someone who was occupying only one chair at a table while talking to people at another table got up at our request to join her friends there, and my date and I squeezed into a table at the front.
I was surprised the staff doesn't try to turn the tables over. It was 26 degrees Friday night, and lots of people arrived after us and had to leave for lack of seating. That would be very unfortunate if it happened to me.
The staff was very pleasant; I had a nice chat with the guy preparing my green tea. He said he had never had one with banana flavoring and was curious to find out how I liked it. I told him it was tasty.
I'm glad to patronize any non-chain business at a chain's expense. I don't know Bronxville that well, so I didn't know there was a Starbucks nearby. I don't drink coffee, though, and I'm not in Bronxville often anyway. It's good to know from reading the Yelpers' posts here that Slave has been in business for 10 years with Starbucks nearby. -

Slave to the Grind...a throwback to an earlier time..like the 1970's. It brings back memories of going to college in Ithaca and the funky places we used to hang out. Of course back then EVERYONE dressed like Sarah Lawrence students, so the slouching and smoking in front of the door really was not an issue.
I am just a boring coffee drinker. I don't even understand the coffee lingo that people use so I cannot comment on the weird things that people order here or at that the chain store. Frankly, I find that the coffee is merely adequate. It is frequently less than hot as it sits in the thermos containers. The cakes can be a bit stale too on occasion but they are good. Did I mention that pricing can change depending on who checks you out? I hate that but it's worth the quarter for the atmosphere.
This place is so un-Bronxville that it's worth going just to hang out. The atmosphere is great. I am old enough that any attitude the SL students may have I find is hysterically funny.
The employees are always really polite which I appreciate in the morning and the tattoos are fun to look at. I think sometimes they are required for employment. Silly but it makes the place more fun.
The only advantage the chain coffee place has is outdoor seating. Otherwise it's the typical antiseptic chain store. Slave exudes uniqueness, and that is what makes it special. Places like this are becoming very rare. It's worth going for that alone. Bronxville is a much better place for having this unique institution. -

Thank God for mocha latte! I would never be awake at my night class if this place didn't exist! I always get asked, "student?" No, I just look like one, which means I probably teach your friend, Mr. Barista. Do I still get an education discount?
But I would have to say that the Sumatran blend could taste less acidic.Listed in: Where Did Our Love Go?, Diet Tribe. NOT, Sweet Tooth, Sour Apples

Review from Sydney B.

Anti-Starbucks leanings aside, Slave's stands on its own. It survived the competition of a Starbucks opening up nearby about ten years ago, and has thrived since.
This is one of the few places in Bronxville that feels like an actual local place, showcasing all sides of the town--whether residents like it or not.
The cape-wearing Sarah Lawrence Students, commuters, varsity-jacket wearing high schoolers, retirees and families pass through (or sit if they can find seats). In posh Bronxville, it's the only place that people can afford on a regular basis. I can sip my tea, close my eyes, and pretend for a moment that Bronxville has a touch of a bohemian/crunchy/hipster vibe.
Sitting there for a while, you might overhear discussions of foreign travel, rants about politics (at least one soliloquy about voting for Obama despite more liberal leanings), or the quiet ruffling of magazine pages turning. Board games, a stack of reading material and a community bulletin board are also available.
I don't drink coffee, so I can't speak to it's quality, though they always have a variety available, brewed or as beans. I enjoy the chai lattes (they have both vanilla and spiced varieties, which they'll mix if you're indecisive) and tea. The muffins, cakes, cookies and other baked goods are fun as well--many of which are home or locally made.
If the employees were happier (not just looking happier, but actually being happier), then I'd give it five stars.Listed in: Tea for Two

Good coffee shop.
Homey feel (Christmas lights!), good coffee, friendly and efficient baristas.
I inquired about Cubano shots, and instead of being condescending or dismissing me, the baristas inquired eagerly as to how to make these. This earned them points in my book. Nice people.
Yes, there was a gaggle of smoking young folk crowded around the door on the sidewalk -- who seem affronted at having to move aside so we could walk inside -- but they detracted little from the shop itself.

I lived in Bronxville for 5 years and had coffee here every single morning. If I was lucky, there was also a golden raisin scone left that I could enjoy with it.
Very small seating area, but quiant. Totally laid back, a great place to watch people.
If the inside area is full, I recommend taking a bench outside to enjoy your beverage and company. -

This charming little cafe is the perfect place to go after work. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and they have a wonderful assortment of pastries to complement your coffee or tea. There are only a few tables, but if you are lucky enough to snag one, it's quiet enough to settle down with a good book. I highly recommend their double chocolate fudge brownies.

I would always choose Slave over the Starbs down the street, but this place isn't perfect. The interior screams 1970s coffee house, not 21st century espresso place (a la Seattle). There's a lot of dark wood, the seating area is a little small and crowded, and the displays and decorations are a little funky. We came here a couple of times in years past and had horrible service from the teens behind the counter. But my last two espresso drinks were excellent and the service was great. Have no fear--if you're into coffee and you're in the area, you'll probably be happy here.

The problem with Slave to the Grind is that you encounter "cooler than thou" Sarah Lawrence students, eh? Your lime green quilted Burberry jacket or North Face zip up must be squeezing you a bit!
Slave to the Grind is colored by the creepy Bronxville regulars (I'm talking about you, semi bald guy in the faux leather coat) and their intelligent remarks like, "Have you ever heard of this band Coldplay?" This, the overpriced drinks/everything ($1.00 for a mini Mr. Goodbar isn't exaggerating), and the execrable Green Day/Pearl Jam-type music that the male baristas play adds to the charm of the place, which I think is the short time warp to college town coffee shops in the 90s. It's not the Sarah Lawrence students that make it this way, it's the Bronxville residents and their self-hating college town attitude.
Despite and because of this, I love Slave to the Grind. The Christmas lights, the wooden tables, the "thank you tree" or whatever it is, the enclave where the baristas work, it's my coffee place and that of Sarah Lawrence students no matter how much people from Bronxville bitch and moan. I love to get the coffee equivalent of the bitch drink, the brainfreeze in all its flavors, sit at one of the coveted tables in the front, and wait for the rush to commence, hopefully with a book that I can't read anyway since any volume of music breaks my concentration. I avoid many of the coffees because I find them bitter and nasty-tasting like those of Starbucks, but I will expand my repertoire at some point. The Slave to the Grind song of this past year was "I Will Follow You Into the Dark," one that emphasizes the coffee shop's acoustic 90s nature and also makes me cry a little or a lot at any point because I am a sap.Listed in: Bronxville, Mount Vernon, and…, Sit for Five Hours

Oh, Slaves, you are the gold standard in hip coffee shops! Back in high school, my friends and I would drive 25 minutes outta town weekend nights just to hit up this place...and then word spread, and we couldn't come here without bumping into everyone and their mom. Still, we kept coming: it's open late, perfect for people watching (alternatively dressed baristas and clientele) not to mention a good menu for non-coffee drinkers (yay flavored chai lattes/hot cocoas). The back area has random games and travel magazines, and make sure to look at the guestbook by the bar stools - so entertaining! - hope that's still there. You can usually find a few chairs, but when it's warm, I recommend taking your stuff to go and sitting on the Bronxville benches around the corner.

Wow, so this place is still open! I actually worked here for a few months, WAY back in the day...say 2003? I was doing laundry and was folding my old work t-shirt, as I now wear it as pajamas. All the following is based on my experiences from "back in the day." 1) they actually know how to make real coffee drinks (i.e. a macchiato is a macchiato you would get in Europe. Note that Starbuck's "macchiato" is NOT a macchiato). 2) it definitely had personality. 3) yes, seating is limited, the SL crowd can be a little annoying, but is amazing people-watching, 3) it's a genuine local business/hangout. I loved the 'regulars.' How I miss those black and white cookies... Cheers, I wish all the best to this business...

I didn't know where to have coffee this morning so did a search in the area on yelp. This is pretty much the only thing that comes up so figured I'd give it a try. It definitely holds up to the good reviews. The coffee is excellent and they have a good variety. I had a poppy seed muffin with it which was ok but nothing extraordinary. The coffee crumb cake my friend had was soft, flavorful, and really really good.

When im in the area i make it a point to stop off and get some coffee. It has a nice vibe and my wife used to go here while at concordia. I'm not usually a person who likes the "friends crowd" but to go in and out is not that hard.
