Meet the Owners of Wobble Cafe in Ossining

Back when Rich Foshay was a child growing up in Westchester, his family owned a gourmet store in Larchmont and a deli in Briarcliff Manor. “I kind of grew up cooking,” the talented cook recalls.

Meanwhile, his future wife Beylka Krupp was growing up on a rural farm in Northfield, VT before moving to Canada for college and falling in love with the culinary arts.  She studied at culinary school and accepted a job at the famed Commander’s Palace restaurant in New Orleans.

So, what happened when the Westchester resident who grew up working in his parents’ deli met the formally-trained gourmet chef from Vermont?  They got married, had their first child, and started their own eatery in Ossining in 2005. They named it Wobble Café and decided that it would be a place where patrons can enjoy great food and keep their children entertained at the same time.

Wobble Café, which serves lunch and breakfast Tuesday to Sunday and adds dinner hours Thursday to Saturday, is known for its bright, fun décor and its clean and colorful children’s play area . “If the kids are happy, the adults are happy and vice-versa,” Foshay says.

But the fun atmosphere isn’t the only thing that keeps customers coming back.

“We tried to make it kid-friendly, but not so kid-friendly but not so kid-friendly to turn adults off,” Foshay tells us. “Adults still need to get food that they want and food that they are going to enjoy and that is not too expensive…So we wanted it to be affordable and we wanted to give people good food.”

In the morning, you can choose “eggcentric” omelettes, pancakes and more.  Or maybe you can try the Pain Perdu (big fat slices of baguette stuffed with fruit and cheese, dipped in egg, and fried golden brown.) Lunch includes sammies, sandwiches, hot plates, panini, and salads. The dinner menu incudes chilli, enchiladas, vegetable tostado, chicken stew, and quesadilla.  Dinner entrees cost $11.00.

Foshay, now a father of two children, says he is enjoying raising a family and running a family business in town. “When I met my wife, we left this area and we traveled for a while and we came back and opened this place up,” he says. “Now that we are involved in the community and are a very community-oriented kind of restaurant, I feel a little bit more in touch with the area.”

Rich Foshay and his wife Beylka Krupp are behind the business at Wobble Café, located at 21 Campwoods Road in Ossining.
