Café

For Immediate Release

[Scarsdale, NY, 4/23/25] — The wait is finally over! The Library is thrilled to announce that Boleria Brazilian Bakery, known for its irresistible sweet and savory treats, will soon be operating the Library Café.

Founded in Mamaroneck, Boleria has become a community favorite for its unique blend of cozy charm and standout flavors. From rich coffee and hearty sandwiches to fresh soups, salads, and signature treats like their popular condensed milk truffles and house-made cheese bread, the new café will bring a thoughtfully curated menu to the heart of the Library.

“We’re excited to welcome Bioleria to the Library,” said Elizabeth Bermel, Library Director. “The café will make the Library an even more inviting place for our community to gather, work, and relax. It’s a great fit with our mission to serve as a welcoming hub for learning and connection.”

Bakery owner Carolina Figueiredo, a Fox Meadow resident for the past 13 years, left her 15 year career at Citibank to become a pastry chef 8 years ago. Though her original bakery opening was delayed in 2020 due to the pandemic, she has since built a devoted following and a thriving business.

All menu items—except croissants—are made fresh at the bakery, and guests can look forward to gluten-free, sugar-free, and vegan options, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

While final touches are still underway, Carolina anticipates opening the café by the end of May. Updates and exact dates will be shared on the Library’s website (scarsdalelibrary.org/discover/cafe)  as soon as they are available.

“We’re so excited to bring our food to a space that’s all about connection, discovery, and community,” said Carolina. “Libraries nourish the mind—and we’re here to nourish everything else!”

Whether you’re stopping by for a book or a bite (or both!), we can’t wait to welcome you to this delicious new chapter.
