The star of the menu has to be the fire waffles and chicken crispy, savory, and perfectly paired with fluffy waffles that had the perfect touch of sweetness. It’s comfort food at its finest, and the portion sizes are just right. The hot chocolate? Out of this world just what you need to warm your soul. Service was fast and friendly, making the experience even better. If you’re looking for a cozy spot with fantastic food, you need to check this place out!“

“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.“

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

“Great food! The Octoberfest Menu is great! Our waitress was not as attentive, this is not the norm for Small Batch! My husband and love this restaurant because the food is always consistently satisfying. We done here often and definitely will be back...new staff members should be aware that returning customers are expecting the same quality of serviced that is synonymous with Small Batch. I highly recommend Small Batch despite the hiccup during my last visit“

“Oak & Orange is a hidden gem in Mineola and has been my go-to lunch spot on Long Island for months. Their innovative menu combines global flavors with simple, healthy classics. It’s a modern twist on sandwiches, bowls, and salads. My favorites are the Mediterranean salad (the marinated chicken is incredible!), the spicy turkey sandwich (packed with flavor thanks to their house-made chipotle aioli), and the Japanese egg sando. Don’t miss their pantry items either—great finds from around the world. And the staff are always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Most amazing and delicious healthy foods & drinks 🙌🏻so many places to sit outside especially on an amazing day“

“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.“

“They need A Carlson button. Put everything in it.“

“I have lived in Seaford for about five years now and just found out about this place. A cute little hidden gem… I brought my two-year-old yesterday for the first time and she had the best time. It’s a very clean place and the staff could not be nicer. It’s less than a mile from our house so we will be back often. My daughter woke up today asking to go back to play… a really cute place. And they have a coffee station for the moms and a snack bar.“

“Everything was bigger, tastier and fresher than we were expecting. French toast was balanced, pancakes fluffy, bagel airy, hash browns and bacon crispy, and karak chai was a properly cooked chai like it should be. No Coke and Pepsi products was nice to see as well. Fully Halal and delicious. Pleasantly surprised!“

“Food is a bit pricey, however, the quality is totally worth it. The churrasco sandwich with those extra sauces they pack in every meal are AMAZING. On Sunday’s they include little extra breads with every order, which are freshly made and super delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough. Go try the empanadas as well! This place is very authentically Chilean.“

“My first time here but have been following them for years. OMG, the real deal! I was in a rush so ordered two sandwiches and three pies for a pick-up, but saw that tire was stocked with authentic Italian products so want to come back and shop!“

“Found reviews and a tiktok video of Susan's Kitchen. They called this place a hidden gem.

This place IS A HIDDEN GEM. Not only the food is delicious, everyone here was super friendly!

I ordered Turkey melt, TUNA MELT (!!!), Chicken Caesar wrap, Roast Beef wrap, grilled cheese, and Scrambled eggs for a small bday party. Everyone loved the food and many asked me where I ordered from.

Especially the Tuna melt. Which I ordered because Susan recommended it herself!
They also have amazing cookies!

Susan's Kitchen is located in an office building, made it a little hard to find, in my opinion. My husband and I were confused whether or not we were allowed to park in the parking lot of the building.

5 star for the food and amazing service.
Highly recommended. Definitely coming back.“

The line was long but they know how to keep it moving. My coffee was delicious I had the special flavor Strawberry ( it was mixed with another flavor I forgot what) , can’t wait to go again!“

“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“

“I visited Gran Caffe Gelateria with a few friends for a late-night dessert after dinner, and we were also looking for a good coffee spot. This place had great reviews, so we decided to check it out, especially since it stays open late.

The gelato selection was impressive, offering a variety of flavors at a great price point—definitely good value for the quality. The gelato itself was super creamy and delicious, better than many places I’ve tried before. I also appreciated that the portion sizes were generous.

As for the customer service, while the staff was polite, I felt the engagement could have been better. When asking about flavors and pricing, it was a bit of a one-sided conversation. Since it wasn’t too busy at the time, I would have preferred a little more interaction to make the experience feel more welcoming.

The coffee and espresso were also fantastic, with a surprisingly good value for the price. My friends and I were impressed with the flavor and quality.

One thing to keep in mind is parking—since it’s a corner shop, parking was limited, and we had to park about half a block away. If you're planning a visit, just be prepared for that.

Overall, this is a great spot for late-night gelato or coffee. The selection is not overwhelming, but what they do have is top-notch. Whether you're going solo, with friends, or even with kids, this is a solid choice for a sweet treat. I'll definitely consider coming back!“

“My second time here, I loved the açaí bowl the first time, overpriced but make sense , it’s delicious and fresh ingredients, so it’s worthy, however the experience I had this morning with the lady in the front was horrible, 0 professional and tbh I wouldn’t go back to be treated like that. But oh boy, the coconut bowl it’s so good.“

“What a lovely atmosphere! Between the velvet sofas and antique coffee tables, such a darling place to unwind and relax. The tiramisu was amazing! Highly recommend!“

“"During a busy day of showing homes in the West Hempstead area, I had the pleasure of stopping by Bagel Hero at 290 Hempstead Ave for a quick breakfast break.Opting for their steak, egg on a roll sandwich special with cheese, accompanied by a fresh coffee, I was immediately impressed by the delicious quality of their food.It's not just the flavors that make Bagel Hero stand out; it's the combination of their exceptional service, the warmth of their staff's customer service, and the overall ambience of the place that truly sets them apart.The atmosphere is soft, clean, and incredibly inviting, making it the perfect spot for a morning meal or a casual meet-up.Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend dropping in for a bite.Bagel Hero isn't just a fantastic bagel shop; it's a cornerstone of the neighborhood that offers a delightful dining experience."“

“Had a reservation and we were seated right away, which was good start. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We especially enjoyed a couple bottles of Sauvignon Blanc, which paired well with the meal. I highly recommend the Clam Oreganata and the Prosciutto Pizza, both were standout dishes. We'll definitely be back!“
