The Brooklyn Organic Kitchen has opened a second location, at Saw Mill Club East in Mount Kisco. Owner and head chef Sandra Marinelli, who founded the original restaurant in Mahopac, says the new grab-and-go store is the perfect way to broaden BOK’s outreach in Westchester. 

“I had feelers out, looking for small spaces,” she says. “Saw Mill Club East is a health and wellness facility that offers many upscale amenities to its members, and they were looking to bring in a café that would offer an equally high quality of food options for its members.” 

BOK’s menu features organic plant-based items designed to be nourishing and energizing. BOK uses only USDA-certified organic, non-GMO and fairly traded ingredients—including locally sourced ingredients from farmers whose practices align with BOK’s mission.

Brooklyn Organic Kitchen at Saw Mill Club East is located right in the lobby inside the entrance of the club. It’s not necessary to be a club member to buy food there. It’s open seven days a week, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.,  and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The location’s current offerings include BOK’s best-selling salads, wraps, soup and snacks, Marinelli says. 

“I will be bringing in some of our warm dishes to see what the response is,” she says. “Most of our offerings are already vegan and gluten free, but we will have gluten-free wraps available as well. Everything is made fresh daily in Mahopac and brought down pre-packaged and ready to go.”

Organic smoothies and protein shakes are made on site and can be customized to order, she adds. “We are juicing in Mahopac and bottling our B Green juice daily. I’ve had many requests for a cleansing program and am working on that as we speak.”

Customers who would like anything from the Mahopac menu for pickup in Mount Kisco can preorder it and it will be available within a few hours.  

“We make two to three trips daily to Mount Kisco with fresh food,” Marinelli explains. “I’m working on a preorder dinner menu as well.”

Meanwhile, BOK’s Mahopac location has changed to its summer hours: Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Fridays 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (with dinner specials every week); Saturdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sundays 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Outdoor dining is now open too.
