32 Best Cafes near Great River

“The food was absolutely incredible—everything from the delicate pastries to the rich, authentic clotted cream and flavorful preserves was top-notch. I especially recommend the caramel tea; it’s sweet, soothing, and the perfect complement to the experience.

However, I’m giving four stars instead of five due to the service, which didn’t quite meet the standard I expect from a proper tea service. When we asked for cream, our server scoffed and insisted the tea didn’t need it. Once it was finally brought, we weren’t checked on again—no refills, no offer of more tea or water, and it took nearly eight minutes after we’d clearly finished before anyone cleared our table.

Still, the quality of the food and tea makes this place worth visiting—I just hope the service improves.“

“Very relaxing cozy tea room, delicious deserts and finger sandwiches, many teas to choose“

“I had a very upsetting and unsafe experience with this business. During our visit, my young daughter was bitten by their cat. What should have been treated with urgency and genuine conncern was instead brushed off- both the over and her employee responded with sarcasm and dismissiveness when I voiced my frustration. I had to make multiple requests to speak to the owner in regards to this incident-yet during a later phone call, she admitted she had been there the entire time. This kind of avoidance is extremely unprofessional, especially when a child's safety is at risk. Due to the bite, my daughter required a medical evaluation and treatment, resulting in medical expenses. I had mailed the ower receipts of the co-pays and requested a refund of my daughter's medical co-pays which i still haven't received. Allowing an animal that bites to be around customers, especially children poses a serious safety risk. The lack of professionalism, empathy and accountability is how this situation was handled is unacceptable. Then to my surprise, this compmay enjoys mocking their customers on TikTok videos. One wasn't made of my daughter, but these video's paint a clear picture of how the owner, Ryan and her employee's think of their loyal customers. I cannot recommend this business nor-even give it one star!“

“Excellent spot for awesome comfort food with a flare and the best espresso and lattes . Food was delicious. The atmosphere was like going to grandma‘s house for brunch excellent portions and if you leave hungry, it’s your own fault. I highly recommend a spot. ✨🤙🏼“

“I absolutely love this Cafe! The food is ALWAYS fresh and very hearty. Everything I have gotten so far has been absolutely delicious. This is my go to place for lunch during the work week because they are very health conscience and reasonably priced. I particularly like ordering online where I can add or delete any of the ingredients to my liking. They have a huge selection of food so there is something for everyone. They have a Breakfast and Lunch menu that includes Omelets and platters of all kinds for breakfast, burgers, salads, wraps, paninis, soups, quesadillas, regular & fish tacos and vegetarian wraps and much more. You can even eat your lunch on an outside patio area. 10 out of 10.“

“I accidentally found this **GEM** by searching for chocolate covered strawberries. What a treat, with quality tasting chocolate and fresh strawberries! I also get the coffee (Dubai coffee….OMG), and boba tea. The vibe is totally adorable, Rose who works there is very knowledgeable and total sweetheart! A++++“

“Had an AMAZING brunch at Sunflower Cafe. Cannot say enough great things about this restaurant! Our server, Cayla, was fabulous, every suggestion she made was on point and she was so friendly and attentive. Met the owner, who stopped by and chatted with us, this is a family run business and everything including the delicious desserts are made on premises. I can’t wait to go back for dinner, it is quite a ride for me but well worth the trip! This place will NOT disappoint!!“

“Delicious ❤️❤️I love it 😍 😋🤤“

“My husband & I were at the Smithtown Historical Grounds for a craft fair on 6/7/21. We ordered the typical chicken fingers with fries & bbq sauce on the side. Well, this was anything but typical! The food was delicious but the bbq sauce was unique & incredible and left me wanting more….no NEEDING more! George was nice enough to arrange to meet me next week so I could purchase a jar of his homemade sauce which I’m looking forward to. Service with a smile & amazing bbq sauce! What more could a girl ask for?“

“This place is absolutely STUNNING. From the time of booking my baby shower to the day of the party the communication and the staff are phenomenal. The food was incredible and I can’t even tell you how many people complimented on how beautiful of a job they did. Michaela was so wonderful to work with. I am so sad the day has come and gone. This place is a hidden gem and I would 100000000% recommend this place to anyone. Thank you for everything!“

“- Sobol has become my favorite spot for a pick-me-up! The staff is always cheerful and makes you feel right at home. The food is fantastic—my favorite is the açaí bowl with almond butter and granola. It’s not just food; it’s an experience that leaves you feeling great!“

“Food is good, but businesses need to open on time. Especially small businesses that hope to compete with chains.“

“I stopped by for a quick treat and ended up loving the crepe I ordered. It was perfectly thin and soft, with just the right balance of sweetness. The filling tasted fresh and the toppings weren’t overdone — every bite was warm, light, and really satisfying.“

“My favorite place for açaí bowls! No other has been as yummy! My comfort food now😁“

“Everything is fresh and delicious!“

“So amazing - polite , clean , fast, & delicious !“

“Best stop for lunch between shopping 🛍“

“I love Panera but I would like to see more detailing in their restaurants decor. They all seem so bland and devoid of attachment to their respective communities. I realize it is in keeping with a minimalist, easy to keep clean approach but it does not motivate customers to stay a while and/ or make it a dining experience.“

“I've always been going to this location due to its convenience but now that it's under new ownership this year, not only is it better but you get more for your dollar. The prices now are actually better than they were under previous management. Great combinations for breakfast or lunch, many fresh cream cheeses and bagels/flagles. I highly recommend this location. If you cannot find it, go right past the Walgreens if you are heading north on Terry and turn where it says massage envy because it is easy to miss. If you hit Maureen's, you went too far north. It will be on your right.“

“Excellent quality food comfortable self seating and good service. A little pricey but worth it.“

“Me encantan las sopas y la variedades que tienes“

“Excellent“

“I've been coming here for years, and it's still one of the best places around. What really stands out is how well they’ve maintained their quality and customer service over time. It’s clear they care about their customers and take pride in what they do. Every visit feels just as good as the first—consistent, welcoming, and reliable. It’s rare to find a place that doesn’t let its standards slip, and I truly appreciate that.“
