32 Best Cafes near Great River

“My boyfriend took me on a surprise date here and I was absolutely in love with the experience. They had wonderful tea selections, sandwiches and desserts were delightful, even the staff was friendly and attentive. Overall great experience and would recommend. Especially if you're looking to do something special but cozy in the winter. Thank you Hidden Oak Cafe!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is a Local Cafe that has never let us down. Prices are moderate and service is sufficient. Owners are usually hands on and very active in ensuring the stay/food is good. Anum and Tarun took care of us and make the customer feel valued. My kids love the shakes and ice cream!“

“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 new favorite restaurant! Everything is delicious and the staff is incredible.“

“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!“

“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?“

“I appreciate you fitting me into your schedule so quickly after my basement lights broke. When your expert showed up on schedule, he promptly and easily resolved the problem. I value electricians who offer dependable after-hours assistance.“

“Very nice place, very cozy, food was excellent.“

“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.“

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

“Wonderful people/wonderful coffee!“

“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 !“

“People are very nice and helpful 🥰“

“Best stop for lunch between shopping 🛍“

“I had trouble putting in an order using the Panera APP the manager Chris helped me put the order in. It defaulted to the original item without modifications, but it was not his fault. He was super helpful. The whole staff seems very nice and helpful as well. He just wanted to make it right!“

“Loyal customer base. American fare. Booth seating & some tables throughout. Wide range of patrons. Food is good but sandwich portions on the bread are light for the price points. Take out is packaged well if you don’t dine in. I have done both. Good alternative to full sit down service dining. Pleasant decor.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Went here for first time today and have to say the BEC was excellent. And not sure why so many comments on here about “rude staff”. The guy who served me was pleasant, seemed happy to be there, had a smile and was a pleasure. Only complaint is that it costs $8.17 cash price and didn’t include a coffee or OJ but other than it being a bit over priced I will definitely be going back - the sandwich was probably top 5 that’s I’ve had on the Island, at least made by this gentleman this morning.“
