33 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!“

“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.“

“Sunflower Cafe in Bayport is excellent! The food is absolutely delicious-freshly prepared meals from scratch. The atmosphere is warm and the service was wonderful. I had the pleasure of meeting Stace-the owner-and her daughter. Her son makes all the desserts! Family-run cafe-fabulous food-Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald playing in the background. Doesn’t get better! I highly recommend the salmon, chicken, beef bourguignon, pasta, all the desserts, delicious bread, soups etc. I will certainly be going back…..thank you!“

“Omggg By Far the BEST BEST service I've ever had they are always coming out asking if everything and everyone is okay and always providing refills and asking if we would like to try there dessert for that day“

“The name escaped me until i walked in and saw that its a cafe and flower shop! Such a great idea. I stopped in on my way to run errands in the area, and loved it. Welcoming atmosphere, It has an abundance of deserts to choose from but not only that... there were many other items including soups, Dubai chocolates (both with the pistachio cream and angel hair). The Mocha Late was fantastic! I should have gotten the large! A great addition to the neighborhood. Ill be back!“

“Delicious ❤️❤️I love it 😍 😋🤤“

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

“- 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!“

“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!“

“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😁“

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

“People are very nice and helpful 🥰“

“Went yesterday for lunch with my husband. I was torn between 3 choices for my second You Pick 2 - Chris offered to surprise me with a choice, and he made a delicious selection for me! Made the experience unique and fun. The restaurant was very clean, and the service was wonderful.“

“Best stop for lunch between shopping 🛍“

“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.“
