43 Best Cafes near Islandia

“I have had the pleasure of dining at the Hidden Gem Cafe and having various meals catered by the Hidden Gem Cafe on numerous occasions. I can say that breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert are all super delicious. Breakfast sandwiches are delicious, and the French toast is amazing. The catering is on time, fresh, hot, and replete with every condiment, utensil, paper goods, etc. The pies are some of the best I have tasted. Thanks Amanda for caring for your customers so much that you pay attention to every detail for us.“

“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. ✨🤙🏼“

“It's a great place you should try it!!“

“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.“

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

“This Panera Bread location has quickly become one of my favorites — even though it’s a solid 45-minute drive from my home, it’s worth every mile. Conveniently located close to the Cheesecake Factory and right next to a cinema, it’s a spot I’ve visited multiple times, and each visit has been just as enjoyable as the last.

The location is perfectly maintained — clean, well-organized, and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a meal before catching a movie, or simply sit with your laptop and enjoy a relaxed afternoon. The staff here keeps things moving efficiently without losing the friendly, welcoming vibe that Panera is known for.

One of the best parts for me is being a member of Panera’s Unlimited Sip Club. I love that I can enjoy unlimited coffee, every two hours, all day long — it’s a perk that really makes my visits even better. Whether I’m in the mood for a hot cup of coffee, iced tea, or another favorite beverage, I can always count on a fresh refill during my stay.

The food here is consistently good — whether it’s a warm bowl of soup in a bread bowl, a fresh salad, or one of their sandwiches, I always find something satisfying. Pair that with the convenience of grabbing a drink and then strolling over to the cinema for a movie, and you’ve got the perfect outing.

Overall, this Panera Bread isn’t just another chain location — for me, it’s a mini destination. Good food, great drinks, reliable service, and a prime spot right next to a cinema make it an easy favorite whenever I’m in the area.“

“The customer service is amazing. I door dashed a bowl for my daughter who is in the hospital. I made an error in ordering and they called me to check and confirm the order and remade everything to her liking. They went above and beyond and I’m so appreciative.“

“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.“

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

“I had lunch at Soul Brew today and had a great experience. I’ve eaten here several times before, and the food and service are always good, but today really stood out. Our server, Nina, was so sweet and attentive, super helpful when it came to ordering. The playlist was off the hook, and after the crowd cleared out, the staff behind the counter were dancing and having a great time while cleaning up. It’s so nice to see people who work hard AND are genuinely happy to be there. It creates such a positive, welcoming atmosphere for everyone.“

“Delicious ❤️❤️I love it 😍 😋🤤“

“Once you taste their coffee at Milano Bean one Sip and you're hooked and you'll be back they are the best in town“

“- 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!“

“Sobol is a fantastic restaurant! The Sobol in Port Jefferson is amazing. The staff and manager are so sweet. They always make our bowls and smoothies perfect and if there is ever an issue they fix it. Love to give business to them.“

“Hands down the nicest place for lunch. Food is healthy, well-proportioned, and usually delicious. If it is your first time -- know that you can ask for a mix of the salads, sides, and take a piece of bread. Plus, coffee comes with the lunch. When you get the hang of it, you'll find the meal filling and the ambiance really enjoyable.“

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

“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?“

“Whenever we go to Panera bread we enjoy the warm environment ie: the friendly people, the staff, the choices, the food, drinks, the freshly baked bread, and all of the wonderful pastries & cookies to end the delicious experience...And of course, we have to take some of it home with us! My friends and I enjoyed a perfect brunch~into~ lunch today...Thank you Panera Bread! 😋“

“Everything is fresh and delicious!“

“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.“

“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.“

“People are very nice and helpful 🥰“

“Super clean and AMAZING service!!! Called ahead to see if they had any bread bowls left and staff was kind enough to set aside the last one for us 🥹🙏 The french onion dip sandwich was so fire & satisfying (plz bring it back)!! Everything hit, would def come back“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice place in Port Jefferson Village, delicious coffee.“

“I was in today with my Autistic client who has trouble making choices-it tends to stress her out. The girls behind the counter where so accommodating and friendly and made her experience so pleasant. Ty!💙“

“Unbelievable breakfast. It’s a must!“

“Clearly all the negative reviews are from people who don't know the owner or may have caught him on a bad day. He treats his employees like they are his flesh and blood! He pays for lawyers to help them with their citizenship. He gives them. clothes and food. This is a KIND and GENEROUS man. Clearly he's doing something right being in business over 40 years. As for not paying the rest of the money owed for the hot dog truck he purchased, the previous owner failed to tell him the things wrong with it and the pieces they failed to give him at the time of purchase. So who is the victim in this transaction? He's still fixing and paying for the plumbing on the cart! His restaurant is immaculate and so is the kitchen. The food is the highest quality for a diner.“

“This was my first time ordering from Joe's. Im sorry i didn't order sooner! i ordered the All American Hero with a side of Onion Rings. Holy cow, the size of this hero was massive! I could only handle half of it. It was delicious! I went for this place because it allowed special requests and I didn't want cheese but wanted extra mayo. They fulfilled my request accurately. It was dinner time when I ordered and yet still arrived timely and hot, and Im not that close as I live in Centereach. I devoured all the onion rings, they were too good to leave behind. definitely recommend and definitely will order again!“

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