“THE BEST PANERA! EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS FRESH AND THE SERVICE IS BEYOND AMAZING!! I HAD TO WAIT A LITTLE BIT AND THE MANAGER SAW THAT I WAS WAITING A LITTLE LONGER THAN NORMAL, WHICH I DIDNT MIND; HE APOLOGIZED AND OFFERED ME ANYTHING I WANT FOR THE INCONVENIENCE; WHICH I REFUSED, BUT HE INSISTED. I FELT APPRECIATED! BEST PANERA EVER!!!“

“Our daily dose of bubble Tea!!!! Literally!!! They make the most beautiful delicious drinks. The most friendliest and caring owners you’ll ever meet, they go above and beyond. This is our favorite go to from now on. With Love the Derm Girls :)“

“Aside from always getting a great dinner there, we just held my daughters bridal shower there. Absolutely perfect. The food was delicious, the service fantastic and every part was on point. From the champagne punch to the cake. Thanks to Chef Paul and the terrific servers and staff.“

“The food was amazing, I got the Texas Hold ‘em but with grilled chicken and they did an amazing job. They cook the chicken/bacon right in front of your eyes, plus the food tastes incredibly fresh. I recommend getting one of their panini’s, they know what they are doing and most likely what they have on the menu is a really good idea.The place has a huge drink selection on the wall, a few shelves full of chips, and the menu is incredibly easy to read and it actually includes the ingredients which you don’t see anymore nowadays.The staff was super nice and took your order quickly, somehow the (I believe manager) remembered my order (Texas hold ‘em with grilled chicken) in just three visits.Sadly soon I’ll have to leave New York and won’t be able to eat here anytime soon, but I will remember this place.“

“Wild feast was originally in LB and moved to RVC in 2019. I went there today with my husband for the first time in RVC and it was incredible!!! Everything was absolutely delicious. Ifs very quaint inside and the owner is so kind! Definitely a wonderful place for lunch or dinner! And their lattes are to die for! 10/10 “

“My main local hangout since I was 15! If you're a vegan, gluten-free or whatever, this place has got you covered! They have a great food selection and an amazing coffee/tea selection too! Try the awesome deserts as well! Atmosphere is that of gothic/punk east village right here closer to home! Tell them "Gordo" sent you!“

“Service is great and SUPER friendly. but lets talk bout the sweets !!! They are INSANE!!! the carrot cake is unreal!! my latest sweets obsession is the macaroons !!! and they are the perfect Valentine's day gift !! perfectly wrapped for Vday too !! got the lg box for my daughter and 5 small boxes for nieces and MIL.. LOVE THEM !! THANKS DOLCE!!!“

“Today I purchased some cupcakes and they were phenomenal!! Highly recommend coming here for desserts. I have been wanting to try their stuff for a minute now and today I had a sweet tooth, and it was definitely exceptional. Definitely will be spreading the word and will be coming back.“

“I've only been here twice so far. The first time was right when they opened and was seated right away. Food was delicious, the atmosphere was so upbeat and the staff welcoming. This last time I came later in the afternoon. Right away the I could feel how super busy they were, but it was still so upbeat. I waited for about 40min, which I felt fine with since it was a lazy Sunday. But the whole time I was aware of how cheerful and smooth everything was moving. When I got seated, food was still great, although I spied their avocado toast dish and it gave me a moment of envy. I'll be back for that. The staff was so quick but not in a rush you on your way, pushy way. I want to give kudos to the staff. The food was great experience and I highly recommend their biscuits. As a transplanted southerner, I truly appreciate the moment of biting into the memory of home. On the way out the seating staff remembered my name and reminded me I can reserve my spot on line next time so I can cut the wait time down. I will be coming back.“

“Very cute, quaint, chill spot for all ages. Depends on what you’re looking for. Saw a few mothers on “play dates” or shall I say “Mommy & Me dates,” all very accommodating. If you’re going for a drink or coffee, it’s a great spot. Have several outlets in some of the seating areas, which allows ease for working remotely as well. I just put my headphones to be able to concentrate more. Not a rowdy place at all, as I mentioned super chill. Staff doesn’t bother you and you can stay as long as you want. Had the matcha latte, and it was unsweetened, which I appreciated as it’s more natural and I can sweeten to my own liking. Love the ambiance and decor, would go back! Oh, and I saw they have live music on Friday evenings, would love to check that out.Parking: 1-2 hr lotted and street parking“

“Came here for breakfast and I absolutely loved it! The staff was super friendly, the menu had a variety of options everything sounded so good! Not going to lie from the outside it doesn't look that nice but different once inside. There are booths and it's really just a cozy place to have coffee, breakfast or lunch. I ordered the crab cake Benedict and the portion was very generous and it was delicious. I ordered silver dollar pancakes for my 3 year old (soooo many) ... and my mom had an omelette. Love how they make the hash browns. I also liked how they offer oatmilk for the coffee. Can't wait to come back! IHOP who????“

“I am giving the cashier a five star because their very pleasant Atmosphere is always clean. for the ones who prepare The meal in the back I don’t like the fact that they are angling phone, money while wearing gloves. You are preparing food take off the gloves whenever you’re about to handle MONEY. Phone is so bad but still u should’ve to because you’re the cook that’s a NO NO“

“The food was delicious. The service is great for only 1 person waiting on customers. The serving sizes are tremendous. Even the coffee cups were huge. Loved the food . We'll definitely be going back.Vegetarian options: Alot to choose from, and they will cook to order if you want to deviate from the menu.“

“Excellent food, excellent concept, excellent service Very expensive Valet parking is a rip off $8 was added to the bill In addition to giving the valet Parker's a tip, I had to pay tax for parking and the restaurant tip was based on the bill total The parking charge should have been a separate charge“

“My family and I are frequent customers here. All of the staff are super friendly and personable. They even remember us whenever we walk in. They always attend to our needs and we can be needy at times with a fussy two year old. The food is always delicious and fresh. Atmosphere is perfection for mall dining. Honestly our favorite place to eat at RF Mall. Today they surprised my husband and I with a generous goody bag that was leftover from Valentine's Day. That was very kind of them and they didn't have to. They even put some cookies in there because they remembered we have a son at home. Thank you NM Cafe. We love coming to your restaurant and will always be back!“

“If you haven't been to Claudette's, you're missing out! Healthy, delicious foods and pastries. Wonderful healthy drinks, hummus and other treats. I go every Saturday for their "green" drink! 10 out of 10 everyone. Associates are the BEST!Ask for Ro! ?“

“I had lunch from Stella's it was so good. The pork on the sandwich was really tender, it melted in your mouth. The claw or salad that was on top of it was perfect crisp, sweet and sour. I could have eaten just a bowl of it. Thank you I will be back.“

“The lunch was delicious, for me, and for my husband, but best of all, the atmosphere was friendly, and, accommodating.The owner, Lorenzo, was congenial, and most helpful, in aiding us, to choose menu items.I ordered the veggie omelette, with mushrooms, and spinach, and a pineapple/ banana smoothie.Both were very satisfying.My husband had the burrito bowl, with rice and beans, and he ordered guacamole as well.All, very good.We both shared a bowl of delicious, thick lentil soup.I recommend this clean, openly welcoming restaurant , which has fresh food,, and a gracious attitude.Dietary restrictions: We are vegetarians, and I cannot eat very spicy foods, or green/red peppers.Parking: Ample parking spaces.“

“Central Perk Cafe is legit! ☕ The vibe is chill, and the staff is on point, making it a solid ? experience. First time here today, and the coffee hit the spot. Bagels were fresh and toasted just right, and those muffins? ? Definitely gonna be a regular here—Central Perk Cafe, you've won me over! ??“

“Great local option for kids (and the food is very good) but they need to keep the toys and games in working order. I had to explain to my toddler that the drum set AND the supermarket checkout toy were broken and no, I didn’t know why. The costumes should also be replaced at this point. He still enjoyed but had to “pretend” a lot with the broken or missing toys.“

“This place is a gem in Baldwin. They prepared food with love, and that shows in every dish. Highly recommend the crab cakes, chicken and waffles, and the french toasts. Coffees and drinks are very creative and delicious. Definitely, we are coming back.“

“It’s so great to have a breakfast/lunch spot like this in Edgemere. The menu is like a fusion of American & Caribbean cuisines, which reflects the neighborhood nicely. There’s vegetarian options too. And the team does a great job at supporting the community.I do think the prices are high, considering the neighborhood and sometimes the wait can be a bit long.“

“Came here the night before Christmas Eve because the East Meadow one had closed early. The two people working were lovely and made honestly one of the best bowls I’ve ever had! The blend was great and there were plenty of toppings! Very happy with my experience.“

“I've came to blacksmiths many times for coffee and bakery items, but today was my first time having an actual breakfast. The breakfast quesadilla was pretty good and a big portion size in my opinion. I always love getting the maple brown sugar latte! Overall blacksmiths is delicious with friendly staff, but a little pricey in my opinion - which is why I only come here once in a while. Would recommend!“

“Very happy to have a health food restaurant in my neighborhood. I was pleasantly surprised with my detox drinks. I get my fair serving of fruits and vegetables in a drink every week. The place is very clean and the service is good. I recommend this business. Great service and healthy food.“

“Checked this place out for the first time today. Small, cozy, very dim lighting, has an outlet in the high top bar seating by the front windows/entrance to charge your electronics in case you’re working from there. Didn’t see any other outlets around. Wouldn’t be a cafe I necessarily work from, unless it’s a very short stay. Food was great, had the Grande BLT sandwich with grilled chicken - the bacon jam and aioli inside gave it such a great flavor. Only thing I will say is that the chicken was a little dry. The fried crispy tortilla chips it came with were delicious! Not the healthiest granted but still yummy! Haha. My partner had the egg platter with turkey sausage, which he said was said was decent. The portions were great size. The only thing is you have to go to the register to place your order and pay, and they will bring your food out. Fair prices for what you get. They sell a bit of merchandise there too. Didn’t get to try their coffee this time, but may check it out another time if in the area. Cute decor. They seem to have regulars that go there, which says a lot about the spot.Parking: I went during the day where there was parking, just either metered or capped at two hours max. Right across the street from the RVC train station, hence all the meters (same applies to the back streets behind the cafe, limited time).“

“Went to a baby shower here! Food was amazing! Decorations were beautiful and great for a baby shower. Everything was awesome with the exception of one thing, we paid money for food that we were not allowed to take home. And there was ALOT of food! That was really disappointing. But that issue aside, everything worked out really well!“

“The food here tastes good and feels comforting, the desserts are sweet and authentic, the staff is attentive, and the place itself has a lot of personality and history despite its compact scale. The prices are incredibly affordable. They only accept cash so keep that in mind. I highly recommend this place for a quick bite of popular Chilean dishes.“

“Visited with my 8 year old, lovely homey place, he said The colossal chocolate chip cookies are delicious. You can sit inside or outside, enjoy your meal, work on your laptop, or just relax while sipping tea or coffee Will definitely be going back“

“Everything I've had here has been highly enjoyable and well executed, as far as mexican goes. Just one caveat is their prices have really hit some kind of next level high, compared to other places on LI I frequent. Bar is always friendly with people to chat. I would probably bring a girl here for lunch or something.“

“It’s a decent healthy spot where you can get burritos, wraps, burgers, smoothies, and bowls. I had the salmon with stir fry vegetables and basmati rice, but it had a lot of sauce, which wasn’t mentioned on the menu and a bit spicy which is not what I usually go for - I will say it was flavorful though. There’s some indoor and outdoor seating.Kid-friendliness: Went with my kids, it’s family/kid-friendly. No separate menu for them however. But I share my meals with them, so either way it works.“

“This small cafe is a great stop for a quick bite or drink. They pay attention to detail and things are made in house. It is conveniently located next to a local Chinese supermarket and an elementary school. Fortunately, there is a parking lot that has tons of space available for free.The cafe is quite small and meant for a quick order and pick up, but there's some seating for a sit down. Indoor Sit down is only for 3-4 people. You can place your order either by walking in or calling ahead of time to pick up. I ordered lumpia and it was cooked right away just as I ordered it. It was fresh and crispy. Definitely homemade. One order comes with 5 pieces along with a sweet and sour sauce. The chicken bacon avocado wrap is filling with lots of vegetables and protein. Flavor wise, everything is quite balanced. The Hawaiian chia bowl had mangos, bananas and granola on top. It was just sweet enough and not overpowering. Decent portion. The lemonade was a bit too sweet for my liking. If you'd like flavored lemonade, expect it to be flavored syrup mixed with some lemonade. It's delicious but quite sweet. Overall, I'd recommend this place for a quick bite, but not really for a sit down spot.“

“It was clean and everyone who works there is nice. It is in a busy area traffic wise, but it is a great place for crussaunts and cookies. I do not recommend their lemonade though because it is very tart. But over all it is a great 4.6 star restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Very friendly to all kids but in a traffic busy area of Malverne.“

“The only place in the area to go when you're craving Italian Gelato! Their gelato more closely resembles gelato I've had in Italy, compared to other places who do not specialize in this.The staff and owners are helpful. Even though there are a million signs saying "only two samples per person", they were kind enough to give us more samples for our kids when it wasn't busy. The area is not the best for me, but if it's convenient for you, I'd definitely check them out!“

“For those in search of authentic, flavorful Haitian patties, look no further! I tried the beef, chicken, and cod fish patties, all baked to absolute perfection. Savory, fresh, and delicious! The restaurant's ambiance is very simple; they offer a pickup/to-go experience with warm and friendly service.“

“Locals Collective NYC is a great place to hang out and enjoy some quality coffee. The space is cozy and stylish, with a relaxed atmosphere. The coffee is tasty and well-made, but I wish they had more options for the size, it's a bit too small for my liking. Another downside is that they are close to early (4 pm), especially in the summer. If you're looking for a late afternoon caffeine fix after a day at the beach, you might be out of luck. Otherwise, it's a nice spot to check out.“

“Our waitress Stephenie was very engaging and helpful when my friend and I were trying to decide on our entrees. I was impressed by the fact that when we informed Stephenie that we were trying to make an 8pm movie at the Malverne cinema ?, she made sure that our food came out in a timely manner. Loved the seasoned fries that came with my chicken basket. Before leaving, we informed her that we would ask for her the next time we planned to dine there. I remember coming to this cafe with my grandparents and friends while I was a student at Malverne high school!“

“Looking for breakfast around Union turnpike is hard but happy I found this place , the ladies were super nice and welcoming and I got a bacon egg and cheese and a large iced coffee and everything was super good, coffee on point and the B.E.C was bomb, thank you ladies ?“

“I went to SoBol for the first time and tried their Green Bowl. It comes with regular granola with Mango, Strawberry and Blueberry topping. It's around $12 and the amount was pretty good. Their green base tastes healthy and I could taste the kale which I liked about. I would love to try other flavor as well. They also have a reward and you get $3 off when you collect 100 points!“

“The place was recommended by a friend's daughter (who is a well respected teacher in RVCSD) and has dined there often, as a nice place to bring my granddaughters (7&9). It was a great choice; the food was freshly prepared and delicious. Service was outstanding, friendly, prompt and pleasant! My grands were so happy to sample the delicious homemade ice cream! Whitewashed brick walls and simple seating added to the casual dining vibe. Can't wait to go back.“

“My daughter won a contest on Instagram for 2 free meals, drinks and cookies. She invited her sister, so it was 3 of us. We drove from Babylon to Manhasset to try this cute little cafe. When we got there I let the cashier, maybe manager know who we were. She was so gracious, explained the menu items and recommended the coffees we should try. We placed our order and waited. The food that came out was so pretty, smelled amazing and was delicious too.“

“"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."“

“There are more than a handful of SoBol locations on Long Island, but East Meadow leaves nothing to be desired. The staff here really cares, the bowls have delicious fresh ingredients, and the variety on the menu is everything you could ask for. Adequate parking and a convenient location are a huge plus.“
