50 Best Cafes near Elmont

“Food was delicious ������ great customer service �����keep up the good work guys ��������“

“Expensive and Way overpriced. Tables could have been bigger. Is a cute friendly like atmosphere place. They did get us right away and the service was friendly. The waffle was pretty good with the cream cheese, whipped cream. It was satisfying. Coffee wasn’t bad but not great. Refreshers were just warm tea. Eclectic furniture and decorations. $1 for an egg and $3 for 4 strawberries that were cut so tiny, it would make you think there were more.“

“Took two trips here on the same day to sample something for brunch and for lunch. For starters, the place is pretty big despite how the place looks from the entrance. The people working behind the counter were pretty cool, service was on point. For breakfast I had the Nutella Custard Croffle and a can of Celsius. The croffle was delightful for sure, pleasing to the taste buds though one small complaint...I don't think croffles are a good base for any sandwich because it was messy eating that, the croffle was kinda all over the place eating it.

Came back here for lunch after a few hours in the gym to order a Mocha Haze Power Smoothie and a Smoked Turkey Croffle. Croffle sandwiches here are delicious as a whole but they are very unstable and can leave a mess so as a note, ALWAYS ask for extra napkins. The smoothie was very good and filling too. I could see myself coming around here a couple more times, trying out as much of their expansive menu as I possibly could.“

“This place is straight out of a film! step inside and you’re transported. The ambiance is extraordinary, like a scene from a classic movie, with soft, cinematic background music that wraps around you like a warm hug. The staff are genuinely kind and attentive, and the host? An absolute gem—welcoming, warm, and makes you feel like a regular from day one.

What sets this place apart is how it feels ahead of its time while being steeped in history. Everywhere you look, there are stunning, authentic antiques—each piece telling a story. The attention to detail is top-notch, from the decor to the service to the perfectly crafted drinks and dishes.
I’ve never experienced a café this special. It’s not just a place to eat—it’s an experience. Can’t wait to come back.“

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

“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“

“Went there for a coffee and a little treat with a friend. The two ladies behind the counter were very nice and helpful when asked about recommendations. I got a mini chocolate croissant and an iced dirty horchata with oat milk. It was nice to sit there and read a book while enjoying my delicious drink. They also have a little area in the corner for kids and Ilove how family friendly the place is. I saw a lot of individuals and families come through the doors and all left smiling. I will definitely come again when I’m in the area.“

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

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“Great service and ambiance I had the avocado toast to die for and the coffee was amazing“

“Located in Tangram mall, this Matcha Cafe Maiko location is a great stop for a sweet treat. They have a couple kiosks where you can order at, and service is relatively quick considering how popular it can get.

They have a variety of matcha and other Asian drinks and cold desserts. Every month, they also have specialty flavors. When I went, I got their matcha and lychee parfait while my friend got their matcha soft serve. The parfait had so many different kinds of toppings and the portion was generous. Love their soft serve and I will definitely be coming back. (Their quality is also pretty consistent across locations!)“

“We were staying just one day/night while in transit near JFK, and our place was sort of close to this restaurant.

We came here for breakfast/lunch and had a great meal here! Service was friendly, efficient, and the food was delicious.

I could tell a lot of neighborhood folks and locals were there, which is always a nice sign.“

“We visited Roast & Co Café on a sunny afternoon while waiting for my daughter to finish work, and it turned out to be such a pleasant surprise.
The moment we stepped in, we were struck by how beautifully decorated and cozy the place is. It has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately makes you want to sit down, relax, and enjoy your coffee. The décor is charming and full of thoughtful details, it actually reminded us of the small Parisian brasseries in France, with its tasteful design and inviting energy.

The café offers both indoor seating and a lovely outdoor terrace. Since it was a gorgeous day, the terrace was full, so we decided to sit inside. The indoor space was lively but comfortable, filled with regulars chatting or working quietly on their laptops.
We ordered two cappuccinos, one regular and one made with unsweetened almond milk, which they had available. The coffees were prepared with care and attention to detail, and you could tell they use high-quality beans. The aroma alone was wonderful.

The barista behind the counter was friendly, cheerful, and clearly knew many of the customers by name. It gave the café a genuine neighborhood feel that’s hard to find.

We enjoyed sitting there, sipping our cappuccinos, and just soaking in the atmosphere. Even though we didn’t try the food this time, we took a look at the menu, there’s a great selection of light dishes, cookies, and pastries, and everything we saw being served looked fresh and delicious. You could tell people were enjoying their meals.
Before leaving, we had a nice chat with the owner, who was very friendly and clearly passionate about the place. It’s always nice to see a business where hospitality feels genuine and effortless.
Overall, Roast & Co Café is a delightful spot, beautifully designed, welcoming, and full of good energy.

The coffee is excellent, the service is warm, and it’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back. We’ll definitely return soon, maybe next time to try their food as well!“

“I came here one morning to get some work done and it quickly became my regular spot for the past month. They have coffee and tea drinks as well as kimbap which is a great meal or snack for any time of day. There is wifi and a restroom (for customers only). It has never been too crowded except around lunchtime, and I am always able to comfortably find a seat. Lastly, the people who work here are so nice, and sometimes make conversation or offer a small treat depending on what they have available. I am recommending this place to my family when they come to visit, as it has definitely become my new fave!“

“I'm in town visiting family and had the chance to check out a few local spots that came highly recommended. Blacksmiths Breads was one of the breakfast places on my list.. and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The coffee was spot-on and the croissant was perfectly soft, buttery, and fresh. Everything hit the mark. I’ll definitely be back, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch, quick breakfast spot. 10/10!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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!!“

“It was the first time having lunch at NM and it didn't disappoint . The bread and chicken broth was delicious that they served before our lunch came out. They were kind enough to split our Caesar salad and cheeseburger . Very nice presentation and the burger was cooked med rare to perfection . I would definitely come back and our waiter was great Ty“

“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.“

“First time trying out , after seeing such great reviews and delicious pictures of the food, I was excited . I played it safe and got a BEC with avocado & it was sooo good! There was love in that sandwich and I tasted it . Super sweet and welcoming ladies , I can’t wait to go back and try something new“

“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.“

“Love this place excellent ice cream and macaroons“

“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.“

“The Bean House is the best of the best, a nice quiet clean little place that serves the best cappuccino on the planet. Every slip brings back pleasant memories of Paris.“

“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.“

“I truly love this place! I always get my favorite smoothie (Cold Oats) and ask them to add chocolate syrup. They hook me up every time! The food is always fresh and well seasoned. No blandness over here! This is a great addition to this community. I hope this business thrives and grows! 💕“

“Ordered to go; shaved broccoli and lake salad with steak. Steak cooked perfectly medium. Salad was perfect size and fill of flavor. Atmosphere looks fun but I didn’t eat there. Staff was incredibly friendly and accurate on time. Will visit again!“

“Would highly recommend this place! Everything from the carefully curated menu and the unique products on the shelf, to the interior design and color palette giving relaxed yet elevated vibes, to even the fragrant hand sanitizer were exceptionally amazing. The staff was very sweet and helpful. And the food was delicious, while the portion size was plentiful.“

“I’ve passed by this cafe a few times, but today I decided to check it out. I had the Korean Street Toast and Iced Peach Green Tea - both delicious. Would definitely recommend getting. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Price was also great. I’ll definitely be coming back here.“

“You can taste freshly baked walnut cookies at Cocohodo, and they are so delicious!! The atmosphere is cozy and cute, and the coffee is delicious!!“

“Run don't walk to Sobol Bay Terrace! Something for everybody in hot or cold weather. Delicious variety of healthy acai bowls and smoothies. Also waffles, egg bites and other warm treats. Staff so friendly and make adjustments to ingredients based on allergies/tastes. Very reasonable and a meal in itself. Great seating in and out.“

“I had such an amazing experience with 3 Little Pigs! I placed an Uber Eats order and one of the items I wanted was sold out. Instead of just canceling it, they actually gave me a call to explain the situation and help me adjust my order. On top of that, they went above and beyond by including a free pastry and even a free drink card as an apology for the inconvenience. I was honestly blown away by their kindness and thoughtfulness—it completely turned what could have been a small disappointment into such a positive experience. Their customer service is top-notch, and I’ll definitely be ordering from them again. Highly recommend!“

“Nice Cafe. Great spot for delicious food with excellent service ..The prices are very reasonable and the portion size are just right. They make the best grits which I rarely order out.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Food and service were delightful. I had the arugula salad and the cod on a bed of Brussel sprouts and cauliflower. My husband had the spiced apple salad - too spicy for me but he loved it -and the spare ribs. Very good selection of wines by the glass. Lots of Gluten Free appetizers and Entrees and delicious ice cream and sorbet.“

“the place is very spacious itself with lots of seating and at night it starts to get crowded so be aware of needing to wait a while. other than that the food and drinks are really good, the jasmine love a lot bear and it is, i the pancake is a must get!!“

“good food options in a nice place“

“Great food great service. Try the prime rib special on Saturday nights. Been coming here 30 years.“

“Kunst Coffee Haus is one of those cafés that feels like a hidden little sanctuary. The space is filled with greenery, flowers, and small artistic touches from lush plants to handmade crochet animals that give it a cozy, creative vibe. It’s the kind of place where you can sit back, relax, and just enjoy the atmosphere.

I ordered the Blue Ocean Latte, made with espresso, their homemade Blue Ocean syrup, and blue spirulina powder. Not only was it visually stunning, but the flavor was smooth, balanced, and had just the right touch of sweetness. Definitely a drink that stands out and feels unique compared to your usual latte.

The staff are friendly, and the overall atmosphere is both welcoming and inspiring. Between the floral arrangements, calming design, and the little details that make the space feel personal, Kunst Coffee Haus is more than just a coffee shop it’s a spot where you want to linger.

If you’re in the area, it’s worth a stop, whether you’re looking for a pretty latte, a peaceful work corner, or simply a beautiful place to chill. 🌿☕✨“

“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!“

“our go-to for holidays, birthdays, and all celebrations. the rainbow cookies are a favorite, really everything they make is delicious.“

“Honestly, the healthiest cafe in the Castle Hill area of the Bronx, if not in the Bronx!“
