The Black Cow<\/a> has the perfect coffee shop experience figured out. The Black Cow’s Pleasantville location has been open since 2011. Its first location in Croton-on-Hudson opened in 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cBlack Cow is one of those laid-back and hip environments where no one is rushing,\u201d said Pace University senior Precious Hose. \u201cTheir music is pretty awesome, and the baristas are laid-back, unlike Starbucks or Dunkin’, where there is always a rush. Also, I highly suggest their Cow Whip!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Black Cow imports coffee beans from Asia, Africa and Central and South America. They also pride themselves on their variety of specialized blends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know Pace students go to Starbucks probably because it is on the same street that the shuttle ends at, but the Black Cow is just on the other side of the train station,” said barista Kym Acosta. “And we have supreme quality coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy coworkers and I are always down to chat and get to know our customers,” Acosta said. “The Black Cow is a great, cozy, home-like coffee shop that I believe can\u2019t be recreated. It truly represents Pleasantville.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
