25 Best Cafes near Islip

“- 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!“

“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.“

“A nice place to go for a coffee or a bite to eat. Mon. through Fri. during the afternoon hours there is a woman working who takes care of the coffee among her other duties. Panera is lucky to have her. She is always working hard and the coffee is always fresh and tasty. She is also friendly and personable with the customers . Just hope the management know what a gem they have in her.“

“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?“

“Great employees that really care about their customers! I placed a pickup order on the Panera app earlier today. Somehow, I managed to order a half sandwich with the bread, the meat, and the cheese removed! Thank goodness the employee with my order decided to call me up to check if this is indeed I wanted. I was able to get my order corrected by this wonderful caring Panera employee in just a few seconds. So, I received a tasty and nutritious sandwich with meat, bread and cheese! Thank you!“
