Savor coffee and more

the coffee here leans toward the kind of drinks you'd actually want on a slow morning, which is probably why savor has built a real following along riverdale ave. this stretch of the bronx moves at its own pace, quieter than most of the borough, and the cafe fits that rhythm. if you're coming in cold, go for something espresso-based and give yourself a few minutes to settle in rather than grabbing and running. locals treat it like a neighbourhood anchor, and that kind of loyalty doesn't show up for mediocre coffee. the standing savor has built in the area is the clearest signal you'll get about what to expect. a mid-morning visit, weekday if you can manage it, with something warm in hand on riverdale ave, is a genuinely good use of your time.
