On a recent weekday, the newly opened Momo’s Café was filled with a steady stream of patrons, from teenagers holding colorful boba drinks to adults tapping on laptops. In the midst of it all was the shop’s owner, 21-year-old Priya Tejpal, who hopes to build a community-oriented space like the ones she grew up with in Queens.

Momo’s, named after Tejpal’s black cat, is located at 915 Saw Mill River Road (Route 9A) in space previously occupied by a real estate office. The soft opening on July 27 took place a couple months after Tejpal graduated from Purchase College, where she studied communications and arts management.
