“Nice little place for a coffee, a smoothie or a bubble tea. Nice owner everyone who works there is friendly. Decorated pretty. Haven't tried the food but will definitely the next time I go and believe me it's worth going back a few times“
“Love this little local bakery!! Jenny at the counter was so friendly and helpful and patient and Elisa, the owner, is the best. I have been working with her for a few years on cakes for celebrations. She’s very quick to respond and always gets it right! The cakes are always so delicious and creative!!“
“I went over the weekend to this restaurant following my sister's suggestion. I want to said that she was 100% correct when she claimed that the chicken was the best she had ever had. After trying I can also attest to it, the chicken coupled with crisp veggies and flavorful rice was a good choice. We also tried the sangria and it was pretty good as well.I am planning to come back soon as there are other dishes that I would like to try.At last, the staff was super friendly and willing to please....Kudos to this new neighborhood restaurant!“
“Saturday evening dinner without a reservation. Walking in, my eyes immediately gravitated to the pictures of the owners and the many celebrities that have eaten and visited there before. The bar area is very nice and large, with TVs playing sports and news. We were greeted, welcomed and seated immediately. The dining area is very large and decorous. The tables large enough to sit us all. My cousin-in-law and his family frequent the restaurant and he practically knows everyone there, so as we sat, we were introduced to the owners and pretty much about a half dozen waiters and other staff members. All were extremely friendly and welcoming. As expected with all family style restaurants, the tables are very close to one another but positioned in a way that still allowed for ample space for you to move and sit comfortably. When we sat, there were hardly any people there, but within an hour it was full of patrons and large families. It was loud, but manageable. The food was unbelievably delicious. I haven't had true traditional family style Italian food in a long time. From the Fried Calamari and cold antipasto appetizers, to our Veal Parmigiana, Penne allá Vodka with Shrimp and prosciutto entrees. Paired with a Cabernet Sauvignon Palermo Napa, I truly enjoyed my meal. I haven't enjoyed food this good in a long time. My girls shared a huge plate of Chicken fingers and fries, and they loved it. I highly recommend anyone who's in the area to dine here. You won't regret it. Thank you for a great meal and patronage.“
“Incredibly homey service and atmosphere!! Everything was delicious and very fresh. The dips and platters were absolutely unforgettable, vibrant flavors and amazing balance in taste — not a single complaint first time going! (those lemon potatoes are nothing less than mind blowing) Everything tasted completely authentic and don’t skip on the Greek hot coffee, made over sand and very rich tasting. The deserts also were an extremely satisfying end to a meal, being very rich and delectable. Service was wonderful, giving all customers a friendly and comforting welcome, making everything feel natural and inviting.“
“Discovered this place accidentally. I was craving coffee and wanted a beach day, so happy I came here.? phenomenal mocha! Loved every sip! Truly woke me up and made me smile.?I got the large mocha with oat milk?I got the spinach pastry , it was alright.? great ambience and atmosphere? phenomenal decor! Would love to come here and spend more time here.? very spacious and clean, different places to sit and enjoy.? the lady in the front was new , but very nice.Overall highly recommend(I also matched this place by accident…it was meant to be).Vegetarian options: Options availableDietary restrictions: Gluten free Options available“
“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!“
“First time and could not be more impressed. First the bread , amazing . Chef Guerrieri is spot on with everything he prepares. Freshest ingredients put together perfectly . Did I mention the bread ? Only negative was they were sold out of the octopus ( I did order less than an hour to closing on a Friday in Lent , so I’m to blame) . The replacement the Chef recommended and provided was more than adequate and extremely generous. Great spot , great Chef , highly recommend.“
“Ordered 2 drinks with my wife that were absolutely outstanding and had us craving for more. Let me start by saying the place has a very simple yet clean ambiance, the easy to read menu from fan favorites to byo bubble tea. So the wife and i decide to get the Cancer which had mango slushy coconut milk fresh mango and crystal boba my wife ended up getting the Gemini which had strawberry milk fresh strawberry and strawberry popping boba!! Both of these drinks were delicious and refreshing i tried my wife's bubble tea and nearly ended up switching but i really enjoyed the mangos freshness please please this place is a must try!!!!“
“This place is a hidden gem and features some of the best ice cream/ gelato I've ever had on Long Island. I got the campfire crunch swirly, and it was delicious. Ice cream was super cremy and fresh, and they put the perfect amount of blended toppings in the swirly.The shop featured about 20 gelato flavors to choose from and also had a nice expresso bar/candy station in the back.The service was nice and friendly.Overall, this place is a must try!“
“While we were waiting for the train decided to stop in and have a coffee and tea. Which both were excellent. Really enjoyed the cookie that came with the drinks. But what really made the stay enjoyable was having a conversation with E.J. the batista. He is really passionate about his work. Will definitely stop back in when I'm in town.“
“Guess I got myself addicted to this delicious gem in town !Best bubble tea I had!Yes, it’s Kosher andincredibleThank you to the owner for coming and catering to our communityCan’t wait to be backAuthentic boba made fresh, every hour on the hour !!!Prices are very fairI will be hooked and coming back during the hot days ? can’t wait to bring all my friends to try it“
“Wanted a nice cup of velvety not too sweet strong coffee! Found this gem and the Lady up front so sweet! Recommended a macchiato. Got the vanilla flavor and she made it perfect! So happy found another coffee spot that is worth the beans for your bucks! And service too!“
“I’ve been wanting to check this place out to go work from, as it’s been rated well and not far from home. Went today for first time and I enjoyed the atmosphere, had a matcha iced tea with tamarind syrup (had them add milk to make it a bit creamy as it was more on the sour watery side than what I’m used to for matcha); my partner had an iced coffee. I will definitely return as I really would like to try their regular coffee, the place smelled amazing!!! They sell coffee bags there too, which would be kool to make at home if you’ve tried and loved the taste of their coffee. Reminded me of Gossip Coffee in Astoria.The great thing is they have plenty of outlets, pretty much at every single and double seating space. The tables for 4 in the middle of the cafe are the only ones without outlets.It was a bit chilly when we went today, as the back door was open to the outdoor seating, would’ve preferred it closed especially in 45-50 degree weather still. It’s nice to have that extra space out there though, esp when the weather gets warmer, definitely a plus. It faces the parking lot.The cafe overall is cozy and chill, great place to work, light a bit dim, cute decor, more of a rustic industrial feel which is my cup of tea. My partner felt like the seating was uncomfortable and hard, esp if going to be there for a couple hours to work like we were but otherwise, great place to check out and unwind at, over coffee or with a friend, to read, catch up on work, or just work from for the day. Today they were playing some hip hop music in the background, not sure if that’s the case always. They have some baked goods there to munch which we didn’t try, but maybe next time. Would return!“
“Lovely welcome by hostess and owner and waitesss which set the tone for our brunch today Had the Rothschild breakfast which was delicious especially with my double order of labne! My husband had the Ahi Tuna burger which was also very tasty Will definitely be back!“
“Please remember to bring CASH ? ? for tips. Unfortunately, they only take cash for tipping the servers. Apart from that, everything is great about this place. I've eaten here several times in the last 7 years and ordered delivery when I've been a patient at NYU. Each time the meals have been delicious, the service is impeccable ?? and I leave satiated and truly satisfied.This last visit, I ordered the flank steak, and it was done perfectly and seasoned well. Remember... bring CASH!!! Although their are ATMs ? next door, you can avoid the fees if you just remember that I specifically reminded you to bring CASH!!! ? ? ? ?#LocalGem #GreatDiner #theresthatfoodie“
“Excellent food, excellent concept, excellent service Very expensive Valet parking is a rip off $8 was added to the bill In addition to giving the valet Parker's a tip, I had to pay tax for parking and the restaurant tip was based on the bill total The parking charge should have been a separate charge“
“Very cute, quaint, chill spot for all ages. Depends on what you’re looking for. Saw a few mothers on “play dates” or shall I say “Mommy & Me dates,” all very accommodating. If you’re going for a drink or coffee, it’s a great spot. Have several outlets in some of the seating areas, which allows ease for working remotely as well. I just put my headphones to be able to concentrate more. Not a rowdy place at all, as I mentioned super chill. Staff doesn’t bother you and you can stay as long as you want. Had the matcha latte, and it was unsweetened, which I appreciated as it’s more natural and I can sweeten to my own liking. Love the ambiance and decor, would go back! Oh, and I saw they have live music on Friday evenings, would love to check that out.Parking: 1-2 hr lotted and street parking“
“My main local hangout since I was 15! If you're a vegan, gluten-free or whatever, this place has got you covered! They have a great food selection and an amazing coffee/tea selection too! Try the awesome deserts as well! Atmosphere is that of gothic/punk east village right here closer to home! Tell them "Gordo" sent you!“
“I miss you guys so much!!!!! Since I lost my job due to covid/getting a brain tumor I can't afford you guys anymore, nor get to you..... every one that works there was always nice to me,and held the door open for me because I was a nanny and always had a stroller lol. I miss the Greek restaurant. I miss the pizza place, and the bakery,the pharmacy....rvc people are just real. I miss it. Kookaburra made me feel like family so thank you guys. And I remember a man who would sit outside every am Joe I hope he is well.“
“I have never been here before, but would always drive past it. The new ownership is very friendly and the cafe is so cozy and vibey. This is a great place to catch up with a friend and have a sweet time. Also, the bathroom is clean (big plus for me). I will absolutely be coming back.“
“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.“
“Delicious vegan donuts! Staff working the counter are always friendly, and quick to serve. Flavors rotate, but I believe the donuts are all made from the same base, then topped differently. Chocolate covered strawberry is not one to miss !Dietary restrictions: Vegan donuts! Sometimes offering gluten free as well I believe“
“Cute little local coffee spot right across from the train station. They have a ton of options available when it comes to any kind of flavor you could want with your coffee, I opted for their drip with raspberry, which was absolutely delightful. If you don't do your drip right, there's no way you do anything else well, so this is a good sign for my return trip! They offer several teas and an assortment of baked goods to eat as well, if coffee isn't your thing. Staff was very friendly and service was quick to boot. There are a bunch of tables inside and out if you choose to stay awhile, but it is limited and the place seems to fill up pretty quick. Plenty of parking close by either on the street or in the municipal lots in back of the building.“
“This is a really cool spot! Stopped by for the first time (ordered on their app ahead of time which made it SO quick & convenient) and can’t complain.The coffee is a solid 9/10, got the rainbow cookie cold brew with chocolate foam on top. It was delicious!I was disappointed in the egg & cheese on an English muffin though. It was kinda like an egg cake (?) it was really thick and the English muffin wasn’t toasted and really chewy. But for $5 it wasn’t that big of a deal.Would definitely come back and try some of their other drinks!!“
“I am giving the cashier a five star because their very pleasant Atmosphere is always clean. for the ones who prepare The meal in the back I don’t like the fact that they are angling phone, money while wearing gloves. You are preparing food take off the gloves whenever you’re about to handle MONEY. Phone is so bad but still u should’ve to because you’re the cook that’s a NO NO“
“Before or after dance class in the morning or early afternoon, the Farmingdale Diner is our 'go to' spot for great food and friendly service! The staff and the owners are amazing. Try their freshly squeezed OJ it is a lovely addition to almost any breakfast.“
“Staff is great and the desserts are always on point!! Must try the Crunchy cake! My family loves is! Our go to cake for any birthday or party we have! Cookies are delicious and the coffee was very tasty! All the employees had great attitude and the atmosphere overall was amazing! Definitely give them a try and I promise your sweet tooth craving will be satisfied!“
“Great place with great pastry options! Went there at the end of a Sunday for a coffee and pastry and I was pleasantly surprised. The croissant filled pistachio cream was delicious as well as the apricot and almond bar! The monte cristo sandwich was ok, would not order again. I enjoy eating at the place to enjoy a cafe atmosphere. Would go back to try more treats!“
“A very good place to try. Service is great and the atmosphere is calm. The creamy tomato soup is a favorite. For two people ordering meals along with a side soup and hot chocolate, the total was under $20. I ordered lunch for breakfast. Right next to the long island railroad woodmere stop.“
“A brunch spot the Long Beach area needed for sure! There is nothing really like this in Long Beach yet - a place to go and get a nicer brunch with family or the girls on a weekend. Definitely a great sit down breakfast option. We had to wait for about 25 minutes on a Saturday around 10am but once we sat down service was fast and efficient. They also have the app that tells you your spot in line so we could go run some errands while we waited! I got the Delancey street omelet with no tomatoes. It was a very good omelet (a little overcooked in the eggs but pretty standard with diner food) and I got sweet potato fries and rye toast on the side which were the stars of the show! I don't normally like sweet sauce with my fries but their sauce was amazing too. My boyfriend got the domingo tacos which were a bit mushy but overall good flavor. The fresh squeezed OJ was fantastic - highly recommend and the espresso was good as well!! If you want a sweet breakfast all of their French toasts coming out looked to die for. All in all I would come back for sure. It was very busy on the weekend! Good vibe and seemed like it is the new brunch destination for a lot of the island.“
“First of all, if you have small hands, dining in, and ordering an Americano? Ask for it in a disposable cup! The cup is HUGE! It's cute, photo worthy...yet...HUGE! Please reference the photo I've posted if you don't believe me.. Anyways! If your map is taking you somewhere questionable, Le Pain Quotidien is located at the Roosevelt field mall right next to Neiman Marcus and Vince. There's plenty of parking during brunch time. If you're shopping, you can find them on the first floor near the entrance to the mall between those two stores. Le Pain Quotidien is beautiful inside and clean. There are plenty of seating and different tables to choose from. They have flowers on every table and I think that's quite lovely. You enter, seat yourself. If you're on the go, you can stand in line to order. The staff is very friendly. It can be busy. It took them quite some time to bring out our food. If you've never been there, I suggest taking a look at their menu beforehand. There were a lot of delicious choices so it took us a while to decide on what we want. We ordered the organic mini Dutch pancakes with berries to share, Chicken mozzarella melt tartine with avocado (extra charge), turkey bacon & avocado tartine with an organic egg (extra charge), and a toasted paris ham & Gruyère croissant. For drinks, we ordered apple juice, an americano, and an iced latte. Everything was delicious and full of flavor! I highly recommend the mini Dutch pancakes with berries. It was light and scrumptious! The dishes were quite big so I'm sure you can share. We didn't. We were too busy devouring it. We became very quiet when the food came out. I believe I was breathing in my food.. For those who are watching their calories, their calorie count is pretty low. I had a hard time looking for something that was over 500 calories.. That's why I added the extra side order of organic egg with my meal! I thought it was very helpful to see the calories on the menu next to the dish. It would've been nice if the macros would've been posted but I'm not complaining! I plan on coming here more often to try out the different menu items and to read. I'm not sure what the time limit is to stay there but I guess I'll find out and update this review!“
“I wanted to give 3 stars but the employees were nice and the overall atmosphere/set-up of the menu was convenient. Very good pricing transparency too between the standard and premium donuts. They also have a donut bar.My friends have commented favorably on the rainbow cookie donut although they did not have that this weekend. I had the black and white plus the cinnamon bun while my partner got the Boston cream and the maple bacon. They were good overall. However, the presentation/structure of the donuts were less than ideal. Prices were good (base $3.50) but the Boston cream was basically two holed donuts with cream slathered in between. This was very awkward and difficult to eat. The cinnamon roll donut based on the photo looked like it was a solid one and not a holed pastry. They pipe the cinnamon icing over the hole. I found it too sweet and the ratio of pastry to icing is off given the fact it's done on top of the hole. They should utilize the donut shape without the hole for some of these flavors instead of doing it on top, since this leads to a full bite of icing.Donuts otherwise were good and excellent flavor assortment. I just would recommend they change how they structure the donuts with more icing!Parking can be tough around here since it's by the train station. Would likely need to pay for it on the meter without a permit.“
“I visited this restaurant today with my mom, mother-in-law and 10 month old today. I have been here numerous times in the past but I cannot say enough how wonderfully they treated us today. I’m not sure who the first man was (perhaps the owner/manager not sure) but right away he asked if my son would like strawberries. He then brought over fresh strawberries cut up and when he finished that bowl, he brought over another one without us even asking. I felt bad because most of the strawberries did end up on the floor but the man cleaned them up telling us not to worry about a thing. I had ordered my son a cheese crepe and when it came out, it again was cut into small pieces for him. When we were leaving I personally thanked the chef because I thought it was just so thoughtful of him. He then proceeded to tell me the next time we come in we can ask to add anything we would like into the crepe for my son. This was just such a wonderful experience and the food was delicious to top it off! I will definitely be going back!!!Kid-friendliness: They were so welcoming to my 10 month old! Everyone was so sweet and patient!“
“Wonderful ice cream for humans and our canine baby! We stopped for a treat earlier, tasted coconut, German chocolate and raspberry ice cream . Fantastic fresh with natural flavors. Friendly service and especially catered to our boxer Izzy.“
“Came here last night with a large group and I had so much fun! The staff here is awesome and the food and drinks hit the spot. It may be small but it packs a punch. The DJ was great and had my mom and her friends up and dancing the night away. Definitely will be back!“
“The food was delicious. The service is great for only 1 person waiting on customers. The serving sizes are tremendous. Even the coffee cups were huge. Loved the food . We'll definitely be going back.Vegetarian options: Alot to choose from, and they will cook to order if you want to deviate from the menu.“
“Amazing bakery in a convenient location.Go there for a coffee and leave with a ton of desserts. I come here 2-3 days a week and always enjoy a few Meia-de-Leite! The best coffee I have tasted in the neighborhood with great service. Bakery has fresh bread daily, with delicious sandwiches and awesome sweets. The pastel de nata is so tasty feels like your in Portugal.Kid-friendliness: They have little tables with kid chairs on the side. I take my two year old and he enjoys people watching while having his juice and bread.“
“Vegetarian options: Selections/OptionsKid-friendliness: Kid friendly essentials although make sure certain dyes and additives aren’t added if there is that other allergy.Wheelchair accessibility: Difficulty with parking availability in this area but within walking distance.“
“Love the lattes! If you’re in a rush this place isn’t for you. I try to place my order in advance to avoid the wait but they make it and keep it behind the counter so I still have to wait for the employees to finish helping other customers, to get it.“
“This place is so fun! They make the doughnuts right in front of you. You watch them go through the machine and cook and then when they come out they decorate them in front of you too after you select what decorations and flavors you want. Donuts are $3.50 each and you can pick from the options or choose your own toppings for it. They were the softest warmest donuts I’ve had. So delicious.“
“First time coming here as I usually go to the one in Astoria. Staff was super friendly and the cookies obviously did not disappoint. My favorite of all time is either the blueberry yogurt or the peanut butter and jelly. Wifey loves the chocolate chip. Will definitely be back knowing that it’s closer to the house now.“
“Excellent service however to the owners please put a lock on the ladies bathroom as it is only meant for one lady to use at a time. The bathroom stall has a big opening where if anyone enters into the bathroom you are exposed. Your every private part and what you are wiping is exposed. Unacceptable. Do something about this. The woman who work there why haven’t you complained! I see you use it also?“
“Absolutely delicious! The girls working are so nice offering more syrups in my coffee if needed. I’m telling all my friends about Cafe Bella. I think I found my new hang out spot.Pictured is the birthday cake muffin and birthday cake latteParking: Parking in the lot can be hard but parking on Merrick Rd was easy to find at the time I went (9:30am)“
“The owner, Sally, was so kind and welcoming even though we arrived there 3 minutes before closing. My friend and I ordered 2 different drinks. My friend got a grapefruit “K-fruit” and I got a combination of cookies & cream AND dulce de leche BOBA. It was my first time ordering and I was surprised that I could mix flavors. Sally was very accommodating and made helpful suggestions regarding the sweetness level. The grapefruit “K-fruit” did not taste artificial and it had real fruit pulp. I was pleasantly surprised with my boba. Whenever I go to other boba tea shops, more often than not they’re overly sweet. I highly recommend Cafe Bubbly and we’ll definitely be back!“
“My family and I love this place! It's busy at all times, and for good reason. The coffee is a great price and is so bold and delicious. I usually get the mini apple pastry, but we tried the molten chocolate soufflé this time, and I was pleasantly surprised. I usually find things like that to be too rich, but this was perfectly balanced and the chocolate flavor was so decadent, you could taste the higher-quality ingredients. The seating area is always full of friends and families eating pastries and enjoying life. It's truly such an uplifting experience every time!“
“My favorite local cafe by far! Wired Coffee House has my heart, they truly care for their customers and provide quality service. They uplift my mornings every day before I head to work or the city in general. I am not a coffee drinker but my usual is their chai. If you're more of a tea drinker I highly recommend this drink and it goes well with a multitude of flavors (personal favorite Iced Rose Chai is to die for). I also love their bacon egg and cheese sandwiches, perfectly cheesy and distributed. If you're looking for a local cafe to support and try this is it! They are the best! Love you Wired Coffee House <3“
“I must admit I'm from Roosevelt and definitely do not remember this eatery. Anyway again I must admit the food was delicious. I had the fried whiting with french fries (the fries and the seasoned batter on the fish was also delicious). My daughter had the vegetable omelet with pepper jack cheese. I tasted her food and had to get an order of that omelet with home fries to go. The ladies in the back doing the cooking has been blessed to serve as well as cook. My food was served hot and that was definitely a plus. Trust me try the place you won't be disappointed. The server Dave was very accommodating and definitely earned his tip. Thumbs upI pray your business shines even brighter in my Alma mater town“
