From Pages to Screen: Casaroma Cafe's Book Club Movie Night Brings 45 Community Members Together
What happens when a beloved book becomes a highly anticipated movie? At Casaroma Cafe, it becomes an opportunity to bring 45 community members together for an unforgettable night out in Downtown New Rochelle.
Culture, Community, and Collaboration in Action
Our October book club selection, "The Housemaid" sparked passionate discussions over cups of our signature Dominican coffee. When we learned the film adaptation was releasing, we knew we had to take our community experience to the next level.
This is what sets Casaroma Cafe apart from typical Westchester coffee shops, we don't just host events; we create experiences that strengthen community bonds.
A Perfect Partnership
We partnered with the New Rochelle Downtown BID to sponsor this special event, taking our book club members to the Regal Movie Theater in Downtown New Rochelle. The response? An overwhelming 45 people showed up, ready to see their book club selection come to life on screen.
Why This Matters
In an era of digital isolation, creating real-world connections matters more than ever. Our movie night demonstrated that:
- Community events extend beyond our four walls - Great Westchester coffee shops create connections that ripple throughout the area
- Partnerships amplify impact - Working with New Rochelle Downtown BID allowed us to offer this experience to our community
- Shared experiences create lasting bonds - Attendees didn't just watch a movie; they shared reactions, discussions, and memories
- Local businesses thrive together - From our Dominican coffee shop to the local theater, supporting each other strengthens everyone

When you search for "New Rochelle coffee" spots, you might be looking for a great latte or espresso. At Casaroma Cafe, you'll find that plus a community that genuinely cares about creating meaningful experiences together.
Our movie night exemplifies our three core values:
