I rarely write reviews, but my experience at Bella's Breakfast in Tarrytown was so appalling that I feel obligated to warn others.
First off, the food was a complete disaster for my friend. She found a HAIR in her breakfast--something that should never happen in any restaurant that claims to care about hygiene. When we pointed this out to the manager on duty, the situation somehow got even worse. Instead of being apologetic, professional, or even remotely polite, the manager was incredibly rude and dismissive. No acknowledgment of how unacceptable the situation was. No sincere apology. Nothing. In fact, they tried to argue with us and only offered to refund the hashbrowns--as if the entire breakfast wasn't ruined the moment we found hair in the food. Absolutely insulting.
For the record, my own breakfast was fine, but that doesn't excuse the way this establishment handled the situation. Mistakes happen, but the way staff (especially management) respond says everything about a restaurant's values. And let me be clear: the manager that day showed zero respect for customers and zero understanding of basic hospitality.
To make matters worse, the bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. Dirty floors, foul smell, and an overall state that made me question whether cleanliness is even a priority here. If the bathrooms are in that condition, I shudder to think about what the kitchen looks like behind the scenes.
Between the unsanitary conditions, hair in the food, and the shockingly rude behavior of the manager, I can say with confidence that I will never return to Bella's Breakfast--and I strongly recommend that others steer clear as well. If this is how they treat customers and maintain their restaurant, it's not just disappointing, it's unacceptable.
On top of that, I am a YouTube food influencer, and I regularly share video reviews of restaurants with my audience. I will absolutely be posting a detailed video about this awful service, the disgusting hygiene, and the complete disrespect shown to customers. People deserve to know exactly what kind of experience they might be walking into here.
There are plenty of other great places in Tarrytown where you can get breakfast without the side of rudeness, filth, and health code nightmares. Bella's is absolutely not worth it.
