50 Best Cafes near Bayside

“Went here for the first time, here are my thoughts:

Customer service: Great! Very welcoming and kind.

Food: The breakfast was AMAZING! I purchased the P.O.A.M and hazelnut latte with a beef stick. The presentation for everything was gorgeous! It tasted just as good as it looked.

Price: It was a bit on the pricey side but not to expensive. I spent roughly $40 for everything.

Parking: I went around 9am and there was plenty of free parking on the side street.

Atmosphere: I sat inside to eat and read a book. Very nice inside. Good amount of sunlight and cozy!

I HIGHLY recommend! I found this place while driving one day and no regrets.“

“Such a sweet spot. Staff is kind and attentive. They do not rush you. The decore reminds me of a curated antique store with Victorian inspiration. Very clean and calm. Purple yam latte was yummy.
Not really a study place. They don't have wifi and please don't bring laptops per the sign.“

“This mugwort latte has a gentle, earthy aroma that blends beautifully with the creamy milk.
It’s smoother than a matcha latte and not overly sweet, making it very easy to drink.
The flavor is subtle, comforting, and has a refined, almost herbal warmth without being too strong.

It’s especially nice on cold or tiring days —
there’s a calming, cozy feeling that stays with you after each sip.
If you enjoy nutty, soothing lattes with a clean finish, this is a great choice.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves comforting, aromatic drinks. 🌿🤍“

“I had such a great experience at SoBol thanks to one of the employees! The lady with the accent (I didn't quite catch her name) was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. You can tell they really care about the customers and bring a positive energy to the store. The service was quick, the food tasted fresh. I’ll be coming back! Lol“

I also really loved how they decorated the place with a variety of portraits and positive affirmations around the cafe!

Will definitely visit again next time with friends and family to try out more food options and drinks! :)“

“Totally enjoyed everything about this place. Stopped in to take my little sister out for cheesecake, was nicely greeted and served. Cheesecake was amazing!! Chai tea also was wonderful. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“The best in the neighborhood!“

“Love Healthy in Dyckman. It’s a gem in the Kingsbridge area where it’s possible to find good quality, healthy food. I particularly love their healthy egg wrap and chai latte. The staff is very sweet, and the place clean. The food is on the pricier side compared to the area, but it does justice to the quality. Highly recommended!“

“Excellent food and lovely people!!! Recommended 100%“

“AMAZINGGGG BUBBLE TEA, CREPE, ROLLED ICE CREAM & MORE!!! WILL BE BACK FOR SURE“

“It’s more of a desert shop. Very tasty. The atmosphere is great too and very clean. The only down fall to the restaurant is the staff. Not welcoming at all and don’t greet you. I’m from out of country and I love to experience new places and I like to go back to restaurants that are friendly and warm, however, I won’t return here because of the staff lack of hospitality.“

“Came to this place for their ube latte and it did not disappoint! Inside is pretty spacious. I went on a weekday morning and it was pretty quiet so perfect place to grab your computer and do some work. Their pastries are amazing as well! Great service, highly recommend“

“In a quest to find “REAL “ whitefish salad, I followed a friend’s suggestion and tried Cafe 17A. Amazing! This past weekend I tried several other salads- Vegetable Tuna, Chicken Salad, Egg whites and spinach, Egg salad and mushrooms and of course sliced Nova and home made cream cheeses. My guests raved! Everything is fresh, and homemade with Love by Scott, the owner. Thanks Scott, - can’t wait to return- You’ve definitely nailed it“

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“Just had food from the food truck, delish!!! Ate inside then ordered dessert and coffee, amazing. Lovely staff, welcoming place.☘️🇮🇹☘️“

“We passed by this popular store front with lots of people enjoying their treats and decided to get one ourselves.
The waiting line for the kiosk was longer than the delivery of the ice cream itself. The ice cream was fairly creamy and cold. The cone was crunchy as desired.
Matcha taste was a tad bit strong, but good for acquired taste.“

“The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. My juice was amazing and I topped it off with a veggie patty. I will definitely be back!“

“Was there visiting from Ohio. Great coffee enjoyed sitting outside taking in the scenery.“

“Mr. Khalit is amazing! I stumbled upon his shop while i was waiting for my train at Kew Gardens station. It was extremely cold day and was around the shop’s closing time, yet he asked me to stay in his shop even though my train won’t be here for a while. Mr. Khalit is kindhearted and seems to love his job. I’m so glad I found this gem and definitely will visit again if I have the opportunity!“

“Took my class here for a trip today and the staff was amazing, cookies were extra delicious. Kudos to all the staff for being so patient and attentive to my students. The kids had an absolute blast decorating their cookies.“

“Healthy foods and a relaxing atmosphere. Nice people too!“

“They’re food is outstanding! I would highly recommend them to all. Cakes are delicious and moist! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“Nomad is wonderful, and a coffee shop that still offers a proper sized drip coffee for a reasonable price :-)
Their egg and cheese on ciabatta w/ sriracha ($6 I think?) keeps my sense of hope alive.
Love this spot- def recommend!!!“

“When I asked for a refill on my iced coffee they said, “of course! I feed my customers like my family.”

The burger was perfection. I don’t remember getting such genuinely incredible customer service and it was the first time I visited. Love the community in this area.

When I googled “cafe” in the neighborhood, this place came up. Absolutely worth coming here.“

“One of my favorite coffee spots and I live in Nassau County but it’s worth the trip every single time! I finally tried their Nutella latte and it is worth the hype. I look forward to keep coming here and highly recommend to friends and family.“

“Soulful Neighborhood Gem!
I feel truly blessed to have discovered Across Broadway Cafe. It is a rare find that manages to be both delicious and quaint, offering a cozy atmosphere that immediately feels like home.
The South American food here is the real deal—everything is incredibly fresh and delicious. They offer a great variety of authentic flavors, from perfectly cooked meals
to rich, bold coffee. You can tell everything is made with high-quality ingredients and a lot of heart.
What really sets this place apart, though, are the kind people. The staff treats you like family, and their genuine hospitality makes every visit special. If you want a fresh, authentic meal in a space that feels welcoming and warm, this is the spot!
I had only a small sample , would love to have more 😊“

“After a gazillion weeks of quarantine, or what seemed like anyway, we dined out in their courtyard. Everything was fresh and tasty and excellent service. It truly was a well earned treat, Looking forward to our next visit.“

“Some days you just want comfort without leaving home, and today Susan’s Kitchen was exactly what I needed. I ordered delivery, and they went above and beyond with every detail. The chocolate chip cookie with walnuts is the kind of treat that instantly lifts your mood, and the omelettes were perfectly prepared and so delicious. Their thoughtfulness really shines through, and I’m so grateful for the warmth they put into their food.“

“Buffet with a large variety of food sold on a pay by the pound basis. All the food is good, service always pleasant. Most go for take-out, the atmosphere is clean and utliitarian, not the place for a date but fine with a friend to chat over lunch.“

“The Polo Lounge is such a great place! We were celebrating our 1 year anniversary and another couple was celebrating their 50th anniversary! The food was delicious! The portions are appropriate so you're not totally full before your main course even comes. The atmosphere is a fun. There's a lounge singer and couples dancing. It was lovely to watch and we were sitting in our booth. There was a wedding going on, but it did not bother the restaurant at all. We will be back every year for our anniversary after bring married at Westbury Manor. The staff, the food, and the atmosphere will keep us coming back!“

“Amazing Food overall ! I had the berry blast smoothie which was a 10/10 & The tuna melt sandwhich which was also a 10/10. Ill definately be back to try more as im on a wellness journey & Quality/healthier options are my go to. Thanks so much for your service daily dose 🙏🏾❤️“

“Wide selection of delicious & well priced food and drinks in a cozy cafe atmosphere. Very friendly staff! Highly recommend“

“Love this place. My kids can’t get enough. Amazing food and staff!“

“Craving a classic Long Island breakfast? Look no further than Union Bagel Cafe in Lynbrook. This local gem lives up to its name, offering some of the best bagels around. From perfectly chewy everything bagels to sesame-seed crusted delights, they've got your base covered. But Union Bagel goes beyond the bread. Their sandwiches are piled high with fresh ingredients, making every bite a flavor explosion. Whether you're a bacon-egg-and-cheese traditionalist or drawn to something more adventurous, their menu caters to all tastes.

And of course, no bagel experience is complete without a steaming cup of coffee. Union Bagel doesn't disappoint here either. Their rich, hot coffee is the perfect companion to any bagel or breakfast sandwich.

So next time you're on Long Island and searching for a satisfying breakfast or lunch, skip the big chains and head to Union Bagel Cafe. You won't be disappointed.“

“We got the Strawberry Matcha Latte and Ice Coffee with Oat milk.

The matcha latte was really good with the perfect level of sweetness.

Iced coffee kinda tasted burnt

They offer vegan milk options“

“The guy was the sweetest most caring person, he made sure to decorate my ice cream and put it in the freezer while prepping my other order of chocolate bread. It felt very nice going to a place that puts effort and care into the food and its customers. Most definitely will be coming back with friends and family’s price is super fair as well!“

“This place is ALWAYS super fresh and unbelievably delicious!! Love the friendly atmosphere and incredible coffee ☕️! My go to for breakfast every time I’m passing through!“

“What an incredible place! I was in a pinch as I was planning on visiting my family for a few weeks in New York. My dates kept changing and the team went above and beyond to accommodate me and my evolving schedule. My daughter LOVED going to the camp. She came home with so many stories, they made food, craft and had fun! What a gem. We will be coming back when travel again to garden city“

“Love this place excellent ice cream and macaroons“

“We stayed at the JFK one night and enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the Paris Cafe the next morning. The French toast and the omelet we had were very good. We had attentive service from our waiter, Marco. The atmosphere and the views were outstanding. It was a memorable experience that we can hopefully repeat on the near future.“

“Fabulous healthy food. Kind staff. Definitely a favorite 👍🏻“

“good food options in a nice place“

“I have been frequenting the Kookaburra Malverne location on and off for several years. The only downside is they close a bit early for my schedule and they only take cash. Other than that, this location is full of phenomenal humans. The customer service is unparalleled. Every single time that I can remember there that’s been a superb interaction with the baristas and the clientele. Today one is the baristas wishes a client Happy Birthday anniversary wishes and the client was so moved. Heck, I was moved. A couple of months ago I was here and heard a client place an order and received the order and said it wasn’t what she ordered. In many cases folks would get annoyed as they made what the client requested, but the barista was so kind and professional, but mostly so kind and understanding and she remade the clients order and offered the “mistaken” beverage for the client to take at no charge. It was such a great moment to witness. The energy in here is quite welcoming and positive. Our furry babies are welcome and everyone is treated with respect and kindness.

When our PTSA requested a donation for our Supermarket Bingo they didn’t hesitate for a second. 🙏🏽

I highly recommend the Malverne Kookaburra Coffee Company.“

“This is place is absolutely adorable and quaint! The owners are such beautiful people and sooooo creative. The food is healthy and the entire vibe feels welcoming and homey. I love love love coming here!!!! Very kid friendly! You can tell they really care about their business because of all of the attention to detail within their market! <3 We even have our mompreneur meetings here!!“
