“The jerk pork is SO good! The best around. The mac and cheese could use a little more seasoning but is good too. It's more similar to black american baked mac and cheese than what you normally get at Jamaican spots (which is a good thing imo).“
“I called the restaurant today on my daughter’s birthday (2/26/24) to ask for a table for 5 people including two children. I was told there’s not enough seating for everyone but they would gladly accommodate us at the event space next door. I agreed. My family arrived at around 6 and the two ladies took our order and Yvonne took a few minutes to prepare the table for us. When she led us into the room we were so delighted and astounded! The place was so beautifully decorated, and she managed it in a very short time! All the food was delicious! She made my daughter feel so special, she danced with the girls and helped cut the cake! I was very lucky and blessed to have been given this wonderful memory! It was such a pleasure to meet Yvonne, she is so sweet and has such a good heart! I will definitely be back again soon!Dietary restrictions: Totally Vegan and plant based menu.Kid-friendliness: Yvonne was so sweet with my girls.“
“My absolute favorite coffee shop!! I am in the hard bean at least twice a week and I have had nothing but great experiences! The coffee is consistently good, and the food items are always fresh. The service is outstanding and the staff is always kind and attentive. I typically bring my laptop and stay for a while to get some work done, and this is a great place to do so. The WiFi is great and the atmosphere is always very calm. I love that when I go I am supporting a local family business that is hardworking and dedicated to what they do. I also got the punch card and my 8th coffee was free! Great touch for frequent flyers in the Merrick area. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some good coffee in Nassau county!“
“This smoothie shop is one of the best in area in terms of pricing, quality and staff. Every time you enter, you're greeted with positivity and I truly appreciate the ability to customize all of the ingredients in your order. Often times, it's hard to find smoothie places that can make drinks without the added sugar (either through juices or purees), but every drink I've had from here has always exceeded my expectations. You totally should check it out!“
“I've been going here since they opened years ago. I've moved away but still get food from here almost every time I come back to visit (monthly). It's one of the few places that offers endless customizations so I can actually get vegan food on long Island! They even have soy protein!The staff is astonishingly helpful and kind. The last time I ordered, I switched out for soy protein but forgot to remove the bacon when I ordered from the app. They called me immediately before making my order to make sure I wanted bacon in there. Above and beyond my expectations for service.The smoothies are delicious, service is quick and fresh, and they have a ton of options (including plant based protein for smoothies).Always glad to see how well they're doing and that their quality never suffers.“
“The Aloha Bowl is fantastic!!! My husband had the chicken teriyaki and we we're both extremely happy with the portions as we Love this place! We'll be back again and again. Thank you Poke waitress Casey, you suggested the best bubble tea ever!!!“
“I enjoyed the natural juices which includes the Sweet Greens which consists of fresh vegetables and fruits. The Strawberry Sunset is also another one of my fav. along with the Grind & Shine for a quick picker upper in the morning. Sandwich- healthy toast of turkey with kale & other veggies.“
“My go to place for bubble tea. Cute little boba shop with wonderful and kind staff. Very inviting store with tables and chairs to chill with friends or to just wind down for a bit. The paw-like waffles with custard are so delicious, fluffy and cute. Can't wait to try different types of drinks.“
“The pina colada smoothy was great, did not care for the jerk chicken asian crunch salad that much. Also tried the shrimp burger, that was good. Enjoyed the music while waiting and food prices were not bad.Parking: Depends on the day, otherwise it should be fine.“
“Good coffee nice selection, friendly people. Nice to hang out. Parking can be a challenge if there's an event going on nearby but it's always good. Coffee snacks can be uneven but atmospheres is always pleasant. Great meeting place.“
“Food is so yummy and nourishing. We had delivery and it came exactly as ordered and a few minutes earlier than expected. Driver was very pleasant. Hardest thing is picking which item to order! Muffins, acai bowls, salads, drinks. Everything was so good and so happy we ordered today.Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options and non dairy“

“I had stomach issues and visited Royal Way on a whim. Dr. Mary spoke to me and recommended some supplements and I am proud to say the issues are in the past. The staff is great, and Dr. Mary is very knowledgable. This is now my go to place for all natural remedies.“
“They have healthy vegan food which is rare in this neighborhood. On top of that the vegan food tastes identical like real meat. Highly recommend Citrus chicken made with vegan meat , Plant base delight with quinoa. Feel inside out healthy at this restaurant and look for their delivery service of my everyday meal.“
“This was my first time, I just so happened to be sitting in my car across the street. I decided to try it. I had tomato bisque and a byo bowl. The soup was the absolute best. I'm serious. I should have bought more. The bowl was so good. I ate every drop of everything. I also got the strawberry basil lemonade. I'd never had this combination before, but it was so good. Not too sweet, not too sour. Just right in the middle. It was refreshing. I will definitely be back again. My bowl had chicken. No fat on the grilled chicken. I hate the fat and gristle. It was perfect. Not dry. And the sauce, it was a perfect addition.“
“Finally made it in! Menu was unique and exciting! Globish was patient, kind, informative. Store was very clean. Lots of great products available for purchase. Tried the Water Pill juice & the Miracle Recovery smoothie. I absolutely loved both! Parking is free and available on street or in lot on Park Ave. Cant wait to go back!“
“My family and I have been coming here from the day the doors opened. And the service and products have remained impeccable. Every time I go I’m greeted with a smile and most times they already know my order. The thing I love the most is actually everything! Keep up the great work. A forever customer ?“
Bubble Tea • $

“Came here for lunch. They have multiple healthy options for a quick Grab n Go style meal. The juices are well thought out and balanced. The Forever Young is delicious. They have been apart of the local community for many many years. I’m enjoying the energy boost as I shop across the street.“
“The worker there, magnificent! Smelled a little like must (a lot) but nothing that would stop me from getting my kale, spinach, papaya, kiwi, blueberries, raspberry, peanut butter, spirulina, oreos, butterfingers, ginger, sea moss and apple smoothie!“
“Shaggy was very accommodating to my needs being that I'm disabled, he & his staff are top tier on a customer service level.Definitely exceeded my expectations, he went above and beyond which is much appreciated.Much♥️ to everyone there, continued success to you!!“
“The food is delicious. I got a combo plate of oxtails,Curry goat and j*** chicken side of mac and cheese and ordered my mama oxtail dinner the food is very good and they give you a lot for your money. I wish they had plantains and dumplings.“
“I had a great experience visiting this location today. I got the matcha milk tea with chia seeds and boba. They were able to accommodate my food allergy. I can't have dairy so they were able to offer oat milk with my milk tea!Thank you!“
“Small, cute little spot with an impressive selection of smoothies, as well as teas and power bowls. The server that my bro and I met, Crystal, was super friendly and welcoming.We ordered different smoothies for ourselves, our parents, and my fiancé: Oreo; plain vanilla (not on the menu, so this was a special request); s'mores; mocha frappe. All so delicious...and healthy! What was interesting to learn is that none of the smoothies are made with milk, only water and the protein powder!The consistency of the smoothies was perfect: not very thick, not watery. Crystal told us that they are meant to be meal replacements and should therefore keep one full for 2-3 hours. That was definitely the case with me - got our smoothies early afternoon, and I personally did not get my appetite back until dinner time!I enjoyed my smoothie, but I came here with the intention of getting a protein power bowl (had been craving one from the night before). So it was a bit disappointing to learn the bowls were not available because they had been sold out.Great place for a healthy treat, but my advice would be to come earlier versus before closing time, so you have a wider selection available!“
“15/10 would recommend! I ordered the red bean milk tea with boba and passionfruit tea and both were exceptionally delicious (and this is coming from someone who frequents NYC boba spots). Price point is around the same or lower than chain stores. The interior is very simple, modern looking, and clean. Owners were very friendly and nice to chat with. Come support your local businesses and show them some love! I will be back soon!!“
“Came here the night before Christmas Eve because the East Meadow one had closed early. The two people working were lovely and made honestly one of the best bowls I’ve ever had! The blend was great and there were plenty of toppings! Very happy with my experience.“
“Recently catered a lunch ordered a food package and was extremely pleased with the choices - the combination of food offered matched so well. Everything was so fresh and tasty and so nicely presented and the place that the lunch was catered for absolutely loved everything. The fruit platter that was part of the package was so delicious too- fruit was super fresh. I highly recommend catering from Fuel Your Body. The staff is always so friendly.Vegetarian options: So many options it’s hard to add them all here. Well balanced meals for protein for vegan and vegetarian options.They always have new menu items which are well thought out. Great combinations.Dietary restrictions: So many options for anyone with dietary restrictions. Gluten free- dairy free- vegan- etc“
“I’ve worked in syosset for 11 years and this is my favorite place to go whether it’s for breakfast or lunch. I get texts all the time for discounts as well which makes me feel like a valued customer. Food is fresh delicious and made to order.Parking: Good amount of parking.“
“Everything I've had here has been highly enjoyable and well executed, as far as mexican goes. Just one caveat is their prices have really hit some kind of next level high, compared to other places on LI I frequent. Bar is always friendly with people to chat. I would probably bring a girl here for lunch or something.“
“Their peach sunset is hands down one of the best drinks I’ve ever tried. Not too sweet and has a strong peach flavor. Tastes exactly like white peach. If you are not a peach fan I do not recommend however, if you even slightly like the taste of peaches, this drink is a must try.Aside from drinks alone, the staff here are extremely friendly. I have been here numerous times and David is always here to help. He is super sweet and generous.“
“Excellent. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. They have the best selection of loose herbs and health foods. The food in their kitchen in the back always has fresh, delicious selections. They practically always have what I need, or a comparable alternative. Their prices are reasonable.“
“I've been to this location a few times now. I must say, this is now a fave spot that I can enjoy anytime of the day or week.Food:I can speak for the sandwiches, they are unique and constructed with fresh tasty ingredients (that result in a delicious flavor that you will crave in the future).I highly recommend the Mamma Mia Pizza Bagel:Chicken cutlet,melted mozzarella, roasted peppers, baby spinach, pesto mayo on a pizza bagelAND also the Angry BLT:Crispy bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, chipotle aioli, everything seeds on a toasted bagel*Both come with a side*The coffee is delicious and fresh anytime of day, and they have so many drinks to choose from. I usually go with the Hal's or Fruit Punch Snapple.Can't wait to try the Pancakes or French toast, everything looks drool-worthy. Check their full menu out!Staff:They are very helpful, and make great sandwiches. They also keep the shop very clean too (someone is always cleaning or restocking something).Inside:There's plenty of seating, a restroom, and a decent sized parking lot (not too large, but perfect for their location).“
“I love been looking for a fresh and natural juice spot close to home and I found this great spot in my neighborhood and I'm so glad I did. It always feels good to support Black-Owned businesses and this is one natural and organic juice spot worrh supporting. They have all the natural and fresh juices and smoothies freshly prepared for all your health and detox needs and it tastes absolutely delicious.“
Ice Cream Shop • $$
“The best selection of Italian-style ices. Not your typical supermarket or pizza place Italian ice. High quality product at fairly steep prices. Still, the best place to get ices in the area. There are better places for ices in Queens and Brooklyn, but this is the best place I’ve found on Long Island.“
“Woah, I've lived in RVC for basically my entire life and I somehow did not know that this place existed. Such a cute and clean place and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the best frozen yogurt that I've ever had. The woman who helped me I assume was the owner and she was extremely friendly and helpful. They just got a new regular customer!“
“THIS PLACE NOT ONLY KEPT ME FROM THE PACEMAKER , ROSEMARY AND THE PERSONAL ONE ON ONE I HAD WITH THEIR HOLISTIC DR. , GOT ME OF HBP PILLS AND ARYTHMIA… WE DO SOMTIMES FALL SHORT OF OUR GOALS… WERE HUMAN… BUT THIS PLACE IS THE ONE PLACE TO GET YOU BACK ON TRACKIF YOUR NOT A FAN OF THE TRIPPLE HARD DETOX JUICE...

LEGENDARY I.G.BARKIMENERGY AND SAY HELLO TO ROSEMARY FOR YA BOY!!! PRAISE AND PEACE!!!“
“I have been coming here for months now, and the food always hits. There are plenty of varieties to chose from and no matter which one it is, it always tastes great. The only complaint I have through, is that the service is quite slow, and usually this isn't a problem, but at times it can be quite bothersome if I'm in a rush and it's taking too long. Otherwise, this place is great! The staff are very nice and the atmosphere is quite nostalgicParking: So many spaces.“
“The atmosphere here is very nice and the workers are very respectful and friendly. One of the worker names Leon was very sweet and outgoing. Good vibe. If you’re looking for a smoothie place or even an açaí bowl i would highly suggest here.“
“Nice little wellness store on Merrick. I can be a little apprehensive when trying a new smoothie place because you never know if it’s packed with juices or actual whole fruits/veg. I got the green genius and knew right away this was a whole fruit/veg situation.The service was great, the two ladies behind the counter answered all my annoying questions with grace and produced the perfect green smoothing. The taste was perfection, not too sweet but didn’t taste like a leaf. The texture was exactly what you want from a smoothing. I’ll be back next time I’m in queens.“
“I were looking for Kung Hu Tea this area.One day, when I'm thirsty or a little hungry, I go to a Kungfu cafe and have tea. A place to meet close friends and a must-try tea house in this area. The staff was kind and friendly, so the tea tasted better than other places. I hope "Lynbrook kung hu tea shop" develops further.“
“This is undoubtedly the best ice cream place to go to. The ice cream is delicious and extremely fresh. Also, the staff is always so sweet and the owner is so nice. I’m literally obsessed with Häagen-Dazs, specifically the Great Neck location. I highly recommend going. Seriously amazing“
“Quality food and drinks. Healthy at thay. The owner, that I was fortunate enough to meet one day, appreciates his customers' business and is adamant about ensuring good health and fresh food are everyone's priority. I recommend the " Stomach Ease" drink and the Lentil Patty for a nice mid day meal. If you are thinking of visiting.. Go for it!!“
“Great tasting juice and food with excellent customer service. Did I mention the great tasting juice already? Some healthy juice places don't quite have their mixture proportions down pact, and their juice doesn't taste good, but you drink it anyway, because you know it's healthy for you. Well this is not the case at Juice for Life. You can tell they took the time to make sure their recipes were not only healthy but great tasting as well. I've been a consistent repeat customer since I found them, going on about a year now. Make sure you try the Adam's Apple and the Melinas Cure. Thank me later.“
“It’s a decent healthy spot where you can get burritos, wraps, burgers, smoothies, and bowls. I had the salmon with stir fry vegetables and basmati rice, but it had a lot of sauce, which wasn’t mentioned on the menu and a bit spicy which is not what I usually go for - I will say it was flavorful though. There’s some indoor and outdoor seating.Kid-friendliness: Went with my kids, it’s family/kid-friendly. No separate menu for them however. But I share my meals with them, so either way it works.“
“Food is amazing, juices and smoothies are amazing! I’m determined to try everything on the menu! They have so many options and varieties of foods! Amazing service; the employees care about their customers! If you in the area and don’t wanna feel sluggish after eating this is the place to go!“
“Love love love this store and I only been here 2x… the owner harry and the employee Brandon are so helpful with everything .. too much to write but he’s excellent and sooo many people came in to get their daily doses of vitamins and drinks.. he’s really good“
