The Black Cow Coffee Co.

A community gathering place

Proudly Black, Queer, and Woman-owned and operated.

Since it opened its doors in 1995, the Black Cow has been the heart of the Croton-on-Hudson community - a place to drink delicious coffee and come together as a community.

The Black Cow has two sister shops in Pleasantville and Phelps Hospital.

After 25 years of pulling espresso, original owners Michael and Peggy Grant retired to Vermont, passing the spoon (torch) to the next generation of Black Cow owners.

The heart of the community since 1995

Long time Black Cow coffee roaster, Cole, and his wife Faith took the stirrers (reigns) in Croton in 2023, bringing their own ideas and energy to the Cow, while maintaining its community heart.

In Pleasantville, Michele, long time Black Cow manager is continuing to nurture her family of customers there.

And at Phelps Hospital, Amanda (Michael’s niece) is carrying on the tight knit community she has built among the hospital staff.
