“High-quality ingredients and interesting combinations make up great subs and burgers. Fresh lettuce, veggies, cheese, and meats are used for their generous salads, and being a gardener, I am picky enough to spot old ingredients- that doesn't happen at Central Ave. In true deli style, you can customize your own sandwiches, and the staff will make em as you wish. A good quick stop also, if you're looking for bagged snacks or drinks. VERY accommodating and friendly staff!“
“Krispy Mango Cafe's ice cream is a delightful blend of creamy texture and vibrant mango flavor. The smooth consistency and balanced sweetness make it a refreshing treat. The generous swirls of real strawberry puree add an authentic touch, creating a satisfying indulgence for ice cream enthusiasts.“
“I requested a custom cheesecake and they did not disappoint! Placing the order was easy and cake was ready at the time that I needed, no wait at all. When I gave them the idea of my cake, couldn't get a definite yes as they had to check with the baker, but the next day, I received a prompt response that it was possible. This cake was such a hit with my family. I'm glad I ordered from them!Also, I love their variety of mini cakes and cheesecakes and the rainbow cookies are so yummy! I've been going there for a year now and started off with the pastries they have readily available. I knew I would eventually request something custom from them.Parking: The parking lot can get pretty full at times and it's not too big.“
“Once I tried crumbl while away I've been hooked. Been to this location 2x and safe to say I'm addicted! It smells amazing when you walk in! You can order on the app for pick up. Cookies are always fresh and the workers are friendly.“
“Absolutely incredible! Everything is perfect from here! I would say the Linzers are top tier! The Linzers are just perfect surpringly light with great jelly. You would expect a lot of these desserts to be very heavy but they actually are not crazy. Everything is just flavored perfectly you would thing a brownie crammed with a rainbow cookie would be very rich surprisingly it was just right. They really hit it out of the park with everything. My only wish is that you could get smaller portions of the regular cookies I didn't feel like shelling oit $20 for a pound while I was already trying all this other stuff. Maybe a half pound option or make like an uncut brick of tricolor cookies.“
“We ordered a custom biscoff cake for my daughters birthday. The communication was great; super understanding when we had to reschedule our order to a different day last minute so A+ for service. The cake itself was absolutely beautiful and it was so moist and flavorful. Every parent at the birthday party asked where we got the cake. This is our new go to spot!“
“We’ve experimented with many different bake shops and literally nothing has come close to the goodness at Catalina’s bake shop. It’s a little further for us than all the other bake shops near us, but it’s worth the trip every single time. We originally discovered this place when I needed a cake for my daughter’s birthday which came out absolutely beautiful and was the best tasting cake we have ever. Now it’s also our spot for occasional treats. You can tell the owner/baker is extremely passionate about what they do and it’s what makes everything so good!“

“I heard that plum cakes are usually boring to eat. But after eating this yummy and fresh cake i could even say that no other cake can take its place. Really tasty? If you want to feel joyous and happy, you must try this Lovely plum cake. Wonderful Christmas special cake? NYCAKESNBITES?#musttryRanjith keep going?“
“Tried their red velvet cake with NO EGGS! Simply put, it was amazing! Very enjoyable, and I will be visiting again. This is an example of what happens when vendors are nice to people because they are customers and not judging them based upon prejudices. After trying their red velvet cake, I might be trying a few other items.“
“First time here wanted to know what the hype was about, got a 4 pack.2 chocolate chip... good though chips didn't taste like semi sweet, they were sweet.1 donut.... good...tasted just like a melted donut1 brownie, good.They are good cookies, limited on base choice as the others selections are toppings on the base.Crunchy on the edges, top, bottom and moist in the center. Very addictive.They hold up well in the freezer and can be eaten straight from the freezer as it doesn't turn into a brick.It's a 5 dollar cookie which is too expensive to enjoy frequently.Parking: Its located in a strip mall“
“Best. Pie. Ever. Go. Now. Me and my boyfriend just stopped in because we were curious and found the most charming little seating area and outdoor garden with a delicious menu. We tried the pulled pork pie pocket (insane + must try) and the mini pies which are truly the perfect size. they have such a variety of everyday staples that are made right in their own farm behind the back. GO NOW.“
“Food was amazing and the service was even better. The kind woman who served me gave me some samples of the other meats which were so delicious. The baked chicken and pork chop were falling off the bone so tender and flavorful. Tried their homemade passion fruit juice and it tastes amazing! Can’t wait to come back and try other things on the menu!“
“Duck Island Bakery is Quacking Good . This bakery is a stone throw from the village of Huntington located in Southdown. This spot offers delicious pastries and fresh bread that is perfect for any gathering. Everything is made fresh and the people working here are really nice. When you walk inside it smells so good. I recently got the chocolate croissant block which is a looker and a crowd pleaser with the flaky and chocolaty goodness. There is some outdoor seating but this is more of a grab and go spot and with a parking lot this is a huge plus as the village of Huntington has gotten too busy. In short: - Delicious pastries and breads - Grab and go spot with a parking lot - Some outdoor seating“
“Grew up in the Meadow when there were only a few bagel stores to pick from, yet visit from the south I always visit SantaFe and bring home a piece of LI ! Staff is always pleasant and bagels fresh. Still haven't figured out how many extra I get w a dozen but no complaints.“
“The food was amazing, I got the Texas Hold ‘em but with grilled chicken and they did an amazing job. They cook the chicken/bacon right in front of your eyes, plus the food tastes incredibly fresh. I recommend getting one of their panini’s, they know what they are doing and most likely what they have on the menu is a really good idea.The place has a huge drink selection on the wall, a few shelves full of chips, and the menu is incredibly easy to read and it actually includes the ingredients which you don’t see anymore nowadays.The staff was super nice and took your order quickly, somehow the (I believe manager) remembered my order (Texas hold ‘em with grilled chicken) in just three visits.Sadly soon I’ll have to leave New York and won’t be able to eat here anytime soon, but I will remember this place.“
“One of the reviews used "cute and cozy" already. Spot on. If you haven't seen it decorated for Christmas please go today. The baked goods look and taste amazing. The coffee was so fresh and flavorful. It is a hidden gem of main street. Sneak around the corner for a coffee and treat on your next walk. Bring the kids to see the decorations. Absolutely love this shop.“
“Nice place, but waaaaaaaay over priced. $6 for carrots ? they're definitely taking advantage of the affluent neighborhood. Bought a small apple pie ($23) and it tasted good but it's like a jiffy pop popcorn, obnoxiously high crust so you can't cut a slice cleanly, definitely can NOT serve this to guests, impossible to plate (see pics) also a small 6" zucchini bread ($8.95) it was good.“
“Great local bakery. Everything is always fresh the only complaint I would have is that they are cash only and usually you will have to wait for the ladies behind the counter to finish with their phones or conversation before they acknowledge you. Otherwise the food and pastries are top notch“
“Not a formal restaurant , but a great 'take out' place with authentic English pasties and pies .The owner/chef is english , and makes the food as properly crafted "across the pond" . True to form , they also sell 'biscuits and cakes' made there , also .The pizzas are an added treat , and are priced at less than $2.00/slice currently , and after 9:00 p.m. a slice is just $1.50 ! . Whole pies ? .... go there to find out the price or check the website . Limited parking out front , and across from a 'petrol' station . Antonio's ..... who'd have thought ??“
“Anita is exceptional. Her cakes and desserts were delicious and a highlight of my sister’s baby shower. She’s professional, thorough and attentive. Anita’s email and number have a permanent home in my contacts. Do yourself a favor and book with her.“
“absolutely love this bakery! in the last two weeks alone i have purchased 2 speciality cakes from them- both perfect and delicious!! i showed vic a photo of what i wanted for both events and she truly brought my vision to life. i couldn’t have been happier and they were so delicious!!“
“The BEST cookies! My wife and I live almost 10 miles away but still go regularly because the cookies are that good! Also, our server, Christina, was awesome! I’d like to leave you all with a quote: “COOKIE! COOKIE” - Cookie Monster, Sesame Street“
“Kind of a hidden gem. Food is good. Prices are reasonable but if you're looking for something trendy this is not the place. At first glance. I don't think most people would even realize that they serve food it just looks like a small bakery. Don't let that intimidate you sit at one of the tables. Look through the menu and give the food a try.“
“The baker Nia was so nice and she did an amazing job. She had a great attitude and wanted details and was eager to help. The people at the service counter were pretty good one lady was much more engaged than the other but overall my cupcakes were delicious and I will be back.“
“Perfect Barbie cake for my 4 year old! The cake was gorgeous and delicious. Moist and perfectly layered. I’ve been using this bakery for years and am always blown away with their quality products. The baker is an artist. I’ve also ordered custom cupcakes.Dietary restrictions: Peanut free“
“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!“
“Listen, I don’t say this lightly - these are THE BEST custom cookies on Long Island. Don’t bother going anywhere else. From the attention to customer service to the detail in every cookie, every step was A+/5 stars/10/10/Would Recommend. Not only were the cookies beautiful, they were also tasty. And to top it all off, they are reasonably priced. Too reasonably. I sent the baker a Pinterest photo and she exceeded my expectations!“
“We had our daughters 8th birthday at Celebrations in the Kitchen and have nothing but positive things to say about Mike and his team! From start to finish all the girls were entertained and excited. They had a blast making cookies and bringing them home to their families :) highly recommend!“
“I don’t get to come here often but when I do, it is always such a delight. The bakery is clean and the staff always so kind and gracious. One of the few places you will find the sort of almond croissant you desire. Parking is small so careful with how you enter/exit. If you have not yet stopped into this bakery, it is small but mighty! Definitely recommend.“
“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!“
“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!“
“Too often we only comment when we have a complaint to make or if we are not happy with a service.I am going to change that pattern and let Stew Leonard's know about how happy I am with the customer service department in the Farmingdale location.In particular, Nadine has impressed me with her knowledge of the store polices, locations of items, and overall helpfulness she exhibits.Kudos to the store and Nadine.Arthur Langer“
“HOLY COW! What a cake they made me for my mom’s surprise 60th Elvis Presley themed birthday party! The staff and cake decorator really know how to put a cake together. From the flavors, colors, sayings, and designs!!! YOU MUST check out sweet karma desserts if you’re ever on the island. I was amazed when I walked in there, but then when I opened my own cake!!! WWWOOOWWW. Only issue I had was the birthday girl wanted the car TAKE HOME ?? but it got eaten at the party. So I had to call back to hope and pray the cake decorator wouldn’t mind making one more pink Cadillac rice crispy car with incredible fondant work.This bakery MADE my party and I couldn’t thank them more. I mean look at this thing!!! He even added pictures from a family trip from Graceland to tie it all together. 20/10! Thank you thank you again!!!!!!“
“I wanted to take the time and express how much this bakery made my two year olds birthday perfect. My daughter is obsessed with shrek the movie and we were so impressed and excited when we saw her cake. We requested a shrek cake, vanilla. Not only was it absolutely delicious but the resemblance is absolutely phenomenal. 5 stars! If you need anything - this is your place. Not only is everything fresh and delicious but there is true true talent here!“
“hands down best Italian bakery,best Danish and croissants and original pastries on the island.Try their strawberry Napoleon s with whipped cream or small deserts like tarts or Italian cheese cake you will be back for the larger fares on occasions.“
“I like the products they make, they are fresh and good ? but I have a suggestion regarding the employees since as it is a public business, there are different people from different parts of the world with different customs, for example in my country, tell them love, my life, mommy ect for us it is not correct, I in particular do not like that, whoever accepts it is their problem, I hope that they as employees understand my opinion and my customs are respected, thank you“
“Best cupcakes I've ever had. The pink vanilla are classic vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and are my favorite. They are very soft and moist. They stay fresh for a few days after I buy them. Friendly staff and clean store. They make very cute cupcakes for all holidays. Highly recommend.“
“A classic cold spring harbor staple. Everyone knows that sweetie pies is your "go-to" for any coffee, tea, or sweets cravings. Lots of indoor seating options with a beautiful back courtyard area to enjoy the fresh air and village of cold spring harbor. Highly recommended if you're taking a trip out to this small quaint village.“
“We were in Hicksville and wanted some snacks for afternoon. We saw this place and wanted to try it. The woman behind the counter was very friendly and knowledgeable. We went for just one item and we ended having three. The most important thing we noticed was their quantity. We had dabeli in so many places but we couldn’t finish this one . As they filled it so much . Their noodles were very tasty, made fresh and they gave lotsss of them. We really enjoyed their food and will definitely go back“
“This is one of the best businesses in town! The bagels, coffee cake, sandwiches are absolutely fabulous! The service is amazing. The owners are so friendly and accommodating. As a business owner of (Luna Lawn Service, Masonry & Painting), I think that we are so lucky to have this establishment in Merrick to call our own.“
“Had an issue At the Melville store , with one item the manager was terrific. No questions asked was able to replace what I brought in and it was on Easter when they were very busy. They were pleasant kind and I Will always shop at uncle Giuseppe‘s.“
“They are absolutely amazing, family owned for years their cannoli’s are superb, all of their stuff are unbelievable, I would travel to the end of the earth for all their desserts. Happy Thanksgiving to you & family always…I’m“
“Vins is a great mom and pop bakery owned by the same family that owned the best ever bakery. A few years back, the son vin took over and vamped it up a little.They offer some delicious cakes, pasties, and baked goods. The seven layer and mouse cakes are our favorite.They also have some great coffee at a nice price.They have monthly specials that feature certain cakes, loafs, and coffee.Everyone who works here is super nice and helpful.Overall, it's a nice wholesome bakery to try if you're in the area.“
“We were riding down Broadway in Amityville on our way to another eatery, looked to the left and saw the sign: THE CHEESECAKE STOP. We decided to swing in on our way back. We glad we did.Ada, the only one there when we arrived, said the recipes are her mother's.We decided on the PEACH SWIRL and the HOT CHOCOLATE flavors.We can taste the chocolate and the peach. Very smooth. Velvety.I got the single serve. My friend girl got the mini.There are plenty of menu choices.And there are seats inside and outside the eatery.“
“Ms. Margarita made my day when i lost my phone, and thought that i couldn’t make my day any better. her customer service was impeccable her work ethic was felt as soon as you step in the place. She made my experience here more than memorable will never forget her. Whoever owns this business just know you have someone who really loves your business and cares for it.“
“If you like apples and anything made with apples you need to come to Jericho Cider Mill!It's not a huge store by any means and you have to park along 106 and walk with the traffic but it's well worth the visit once you're inside. Shelves and shelves of jams (including moonshine jam!), apple cider doughnuts, pies, cider, and other various goodies. Fairly priced and a fast moving line with a helpful staff. I always warm up their cider and it hits the spot each time. Not too sweet but also not too tart. The doughnuts are heaven and so fresh. I do need to try their jams next time I visit. Very much worth the impossible parking situation (wear boots) to get some apple goodness.“
“I've been coming here for more than I want to admit and makes me feel old. I'm going to keep this very honest in respect to using common sense/speculation/as well as responding to some of the comments on here. We haven't been there in quite some time...surprised to see the place redecorated. My wife loved it...I understand it. I'm one of those people that walk into a pizzeria and see faded red Formica tables, benches and dated dingy decor as a good thing. I was never bothered by aesthetics as it seems seasoned and perfected like the food im about to indulge in. The old international cafe had a plethora of food, nothing that wow'd you BUT was consistently good even though they had a great variety. The freshly made waffles, variety of gelato and fresh whip cream needs no review. People who complain about noise should just stay home with their mask on. You are talking about an open place restaurant that is a staple of a community for decades. Why in 2024 are people so miserable to see others so happy. Place is jammed back...what do you expect it to sound like? People complaining about kids are the same $hit parents who rather hand their kid a iPad instead of letting them socialize. When we go there we expect it to be busy, loud, kids be kids, great food, great service and pay cash. With new owner ship comes many things and one them was the menu. We were thrown off since we were expecting our usual order. A lot of their items on the menu can be easily replicated at home. When we go out to eat we only order what we don't make for the most part. My wife ordered their Chicken Tenders which was made fresh as they were chicken cutlets cut down. I thought it was OK my wife was not happy bc the crispy bread outside came off the chicken itself. We also got wings and beer battered onion rings. Onion rings were great and wings are wings. We don't deep fry in the house for many reasons...we never ordered anything deep fried at the old spot either. Got their loaded potato skins which my wife enjoyed as well. Reviews about the new whip cream being OFF in taste is correct. Gelato tasted the same to us which was good. Price seemed fair for what we got compared to others places we have gone too. Best of luck to the new owners and staff. I honestly don't think we will be back bc happy wife happy life Our waitress was PHENOMENAL“

“We got our wedding cake from Angela and it was AMAZING!! I would highly recommend getting a cake from her for any occasion. We ordered some tasting cupcakes to determine which flavor combo to go with and it was so hard to choose - the flavor and texture of her cakes are outstanding! Lots of compliments and questions where we ordered it from from our guests. Also, Angela was so helpful and easy to work with.“
“Nice new location for Paris Baguette in Plainview Shopping Centre! Just what this area needed, another a pastry and cake shop as an option. Love PB cakes and pastries. Definitely spacious as one walks in to look and select pastries, cakes, sandwiches, drinks they wish to purchase and either dine in or take out. Cakes are nice and cream is light and not heavy. If you need a cake with writing, need to pre-order at least 2 days in advance for pickup. Mochi donuts are delicious and good to share, along with the pastries. They have seasonal specials and special promos for PB members who have signed up and use the app. PB reward members earn points with the app for every purchase so don't forget to scan. And if redeeming rewards, only one reward can be redeemed at a time.“
“Stopped in today for some dessert after a quick, casual dinner in town. Lots of choices of cookies, pastries and cakes.We ordered a Yellow cake with chocolate frosting that was very good. They also offered to customize a message on the cake.Fresh and the icing was not too sweet.Friendly service, Clean.We would stop by again when craving some fresh baked cake, YUM.“
