The story of Cafe Con Leche begins with family. Raised in New York City with deep Puerto Rican roots, Phil and Melodie brought their shared love for culture and cooking into a venture that reflects who they are.
Phil Johnson, the Executive Chef, channels the heart of his Bronx upbringing and the life lessons of his grandparents into every dish. With strong memories of coffee brewing during holidays, visits, and special moments, he chose the name "Cafe Con Leche" not just for the drink but for what it symbolizes: unity, joy, and tradition.
Melodie Johnson, co-owner and Executive Chef, grew up between Brooklyn and Connecticut, learning the essence of warmth and welcome from her Abuela Risa, famously known for serving limbers to the neighborhood. Her experience in both culinary and design is reflected in every corner of the cozy, art-filled space that houses the cafe.
Together, the couple has turned a century-old building into a cultural haven, infusing every detail with purpose—from locally sourced furnishings to a menu that carries stories from the island.
For many, "cafe con leche" is a morning ritual, but for Phil and Melodie, it’s a living memory. It evokes family gatherings, neighborhood laughter, and the sounds and smells of Puerto Rican kitchens. At their cafe, it's all about the atmosphere they recreate every day.
The couple's goal was to build a place where people could feel at home, especially the younger generation. Their proximity to local high schools and the welcoming environment makes it a natural gathering spot for students, families, and those craving a cultural connection.
As Cafe Con Leche continues to build community and preserve culture in Wappingers Falls, its Easter Brunch offers a unique opportunity to enjoy vibrant Puerto Rican flavors and heartfelt hospitality near you in the Hudson Valley. Whether you're revisiting cherished traditions or discovering something deliciously new, this is a table worth gathering around.
