“Love this place. My kids can’t get enough. Amazing food and staff!“

“Breakfast, brunch, or lunch, this is THE place. Food is light, healthy, and most of all delicious. Mediterranean Middle Eastern fusion allows your taste buds to fully appreciate the food and respect its origin.
Try the Middle East Shakshuka with feta and eggplant. Delicious and filling. Comes with coffee, juice, and salad.
Thank me later“

“The food and service are both amazing, so what is there not to like? 😆 But seriously the food and service is amazing“

“AMAZINGGGG BUBBLE TEA, CREPE, ROLLED ICE CREAM & MORE!!! WILL BE BACK FOR SURE“

“Took two trips here on the same day to sample something for brunch and for lunch. For starters, the place is pretty big despite how the place looks from the entrance. The people working behind the counter were pretty cool, service was on point. For breakfast I had the Nutella Custard Croffle and a can of Celsius. The croffle was delightful for sure, pleasing to the taste buds though one small complaint...I don't think croffles are a good base for any sandwich because it was messy eating that, the croffle was kinda all over the place eating it.

Came back here for lunch after a few hours in the gym to order a Mocha Haze Power Smoothie and a Smoked Turkey Croffle. Croffle sandwiches here are delicious as a whole but they are very unstable and can leave a mess so as a note, ALWAYS ask for extra napkins. The smoothie was very good and filling too. I could see myself coming around here a couple more times, trying out as much of their expansive menu as I possibly could.“

“I used to get coffee beans (while also picking up a cold brew) for pour overs at home. After moving to another state and struggling to find a good source of beans, I find myself reminiscing about this cafe. This nostalgia compelled me to leave a review as they deserve it. Don’t take this cafe for granted, like I did ?.“

“Great service and ambiance I had the avocado toast to die for and the coffee was amazing“

“I came to New York to visit my mother and discovered this place by a coincidence and I’m so glad I did! The coffee is exceptional, easily the best I’ve had anywhere. The owner is welcoming, and genuinely kind. This little spot truly made my day. Highly recommended.“

“Just had food from the food truck, delish!!! Ate inside then ordered dessert and coffee, amazing. Lovely staff, welcoming place.☘️🇮🇹☘️“

“Easily the best morning spot in Long Beach! This whole team has got it down pat and they put love into everything they make; morning buns, croissants, matchas and coffees to boot! We live primarily DC but so look forward to visiting family in LB and taking our kids over to grab a fresh baked anything! Thank you to Ray and his team for creating something warm from the inside out!

Kid-friendliness: Our kids LOVE the morning buns and they have crayons for drawing and are just so kind. Our kids ask to go as soon as they wake up in LB“

“Ordered to go; shaved broccoli and lake salad with steak. Steak cooked perfectly medium. Salad was perfect size and fill of flavor. Atmosphere looks fun but I didn’t eat there. Staff was incredibly friendly and accurate on time. Will visit again!“

“A hidden gem in Flushing! Stopped by this cute little cafe tucked away behind some residential apartments nearly everyday on my last trip to NYC. They offer a great selection of coffee and matcha drinks. I personally loved their iced matcha Genmaicha and their spicy tuna and salmon teriyaki onigiri. The Matcha Genmaicha is my ideal morning tea, pure green in color and no additives. Onigiri’s are priced at 3.99 each and tasted very fresh. The decor is lovely inside but there is hardly any space to sit down. Service here is very fast and friendly. They also offer a punch card for returning customers.“

“First time trying out , after seeing such great reviews and delicious pictures of the food, I was excited . I played it safe and got a BEC with avocado & it was sooo good! There was love in that sandwich and I tasted it . Super sweet and welcoming ladies , I can’t wait to go back and try something new“

“Fabulous healthy food. Kind staff. Definitely a favorite 👍🏻“

“They’re food is outstanding! I would highly recommend them to all. Cakes are delicious and moist! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“Healthy foods and a relaxing atmosphere. Nice people too!“

“I have been frequenting the Kookaburra Malverne location on and off for several years. The only downside is they close a bit early for my schedule and they only take cash. Other than that, this location is full of phenomenal humans. The customer service is unparalleled. Every single time that I can remember there that’s been a superb interaction with the baristas and the clientele. Today one is the baristas wishes a client Happy Birthday anniversary wishes and the client was so moved. Heck, I was moved. A couple of months ago I was here and heard a client place an order and received the order and said it wasn’t what she ordered. In many cases folks would get annoyed as they made what the client requested, but the barista was so kind and professional, but mostly so kind and understanding and she remade the clients order and offered the “mistaken” beverage for the client to take at no charge. It was such a great moment to witness. The energy in here is quite welcoming and positive. Our furry babies are welcome and everyone is treated with respect and kindness.

When our PTSA requested a donation for our Supermarket Bingo they didn’t hesitate for a second. 🙏🏽

I highly recommend the Malverne Kookaburra Coffee Company.“

“i seem to give the same review every time I come here, along the lines of ... "WOW, this place is great!" Which is also why I come back at lot! We sat at the bar this time for drinks and apps - bartender Keith was personable, professional and very proficient.“

“This is place is absolutely adorable and quaint! The owners are such beautiful people and sooooo creative. The food is healthy and the entire vibe feels welcoming and homey. I love love love coming here!!!! Very kid friendly! You can tell they really care about their business because of all of the attention to detail within their market! <3 We even have our mompreneur meetings here!!“

“Oak & Orange is a hidden gem in Mineola and has been my go-to lunch spot on Long Island for months. Their innovative menu combines global flavors with simple, healthy classics. It’s a modern twist on sandwiches, bowls, and salads. My favorites are the Mediterranean salad (the marinated chicken is incredible!), the spicy turkey sandwich (packed with flavor thanks to their house-made chipotle aioli), and the Japanese egg sando. Don’t miss their pantry items either—great finds from around the world. And the staff are always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area—you won’t be disappointed!“

“The Neiman Marcus cafe is a special place for my family and I. How can I not give it 5 stars?? Whether it be lunch during a day at the mall or to celebrate a birthday, Mother’s Day or a graduation we are always treated like family. The manager Sheila greets us with conversion and a smile. The servers are great and Anthony aka Tony is like family to us. My mom is always treated like royalty there. The food selection is great and tasty! We love the popovers with the strawberry butter and the amazing, truly amazing broth. The service it’s great but the food and the people themselves is what makes us continually return. My mom and I love a good Madison Ave salad with a side of conversion with Tony :) thanks for always treating us with kindness!“

“After a gazillion weeks of quarantine, or what seemed like anyway, we dined out in their courtyard. Everything was fresh and tasty and excellent service. It truly was a well earned treat, Looking forward to our next visit.“

“Craving a classic Long Island breakfast? Look no further than Union Bagel Cafe in Lynbrook. This local gem lives up to its name, offering some of the best bagels around. From perfectly chewy everything bagels to sesame-seed crusted delights, they've got your base covered. But Union Bagel goes beyond the bread. Their sandwiches are piled high with fresh ingredients, making every bite a flavor explosion. Whether you're a bacon-egg-and-cheese traditionalist or drawn to something more adventurous, their menu caters to all tastes.

And of course, no bagel experience is complete without a steaming cup of coffee. Union Bagel doesn't disappoint here either. Their rich, hot coffee is the perfect companion to any bagel or breakfast sandwich.

So next time you're on Long Island and searching for a satisfying breakfast or lunch, skip the big chains and head to Union Bagel Cafe. You won't be disappointed.“

“Recomendado 100%, deliciosa comida“

“Friendly staffs in a cozy place 👍“

“I truly love this place! I always get my favorite smoothie (Cold Oats) and ask them to add chocolate syrup. They hook me up every time! The food is always fresh and well seasoned. No blandness over here! This is a great addition to this community. I hope this business thrives and grows! 💕“

“The guy was the sweetest most caring person, he made sure to decorate my ice cream and put it in the freezer while prepping my other order of chocolate bread. It felt very nice going to a place that puts effort and care into the food and its customers. Most definitely will be coming back with friends and family’s price is super fair as well!“

“I ordered a cappuccino at the Gran Café Gelateria and it was really really good. I paid $5 for a large . I did notice they also had Ferrero Rocher ice cream, which I asked the young ladies to try and it was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be returning to Lynbrook just to try for ice cream here! The service was also very friendly!“

“The food is exceptional, very high quality vegetarian food. Very creative dishes.“

“the place is very spacious itself with lots of seating and at night it starts to get crowded so be aware of needing to wait a while. other than that the food and drinks are really good, the jasmine love a lot bear and it is, i the pancake is a must get!!“

“Best croissants around and great coffee! The staff is great as well!“

“Subol in Howard Beach is a great spot with delicious food and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The flavors were fresh and well-balanced, and you can tell they use quality ingredients.

The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the prices felt a bit on the higher side for the portion sizes. Still, the overall experience from the service to the presentation was very enjoyable. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for something flavorful and different!“

“We were staying just one day/night while in transit near JFK, and our place was sort of close to this restaurant.

We came here for breakfast/lunch and had a great meal here! Service was friendly, efficient, and the food was delicious.

I could tell a lot of neighborhood folks and locals were there, which is always a nice sign.“

“Great coffee spot. I'm visiting Briarwood for the first time in a few years and wasn't expecting to find a coffee place here in the first place - awesome!

it's a chill place, great for reading a book or doing some light remote work.“

“Great local spot. Plenty of seats and restrooms available. Many drinks on the menu and its good. However, they low on the food options. Wish they offered more than very limited baked option and puddings. Service is always great and everyone is nice. I love this place.“

“Calm loving atmosphere. Staff awesome“

“A special place for special occasions ... never disappoints..... Frank, the manager will make sure of that! We had 4 different entrees last night and each of us agreed their meal was outstanding. Oscar i truly is a professional waiter . The live music was entertaining and just at the right sound level. Can't wait to go back.“

“Nice Cafe. Great spot for delicious food with excellent service ..The prices are very reasonable and the portion size are just right. They make the best grits which I rarely order out.“

“Food is a bit pricey, however, the quality is totally worth it. The churrasco sandwich with those extra sauces they pack in every meal are AMAZING. On Sunday’s they include little extra breads with every order, which are freshly made and super delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough. Go try the empanadas as well! This place is very authentically Chilean.“

“Love this place excellent ice cream and macaroons“

“The people that work here at nice, and the coffee is good. I think there are definitely things about this cafe that could use improving though. First of all, the seats as well as the tables are WAY too small and this is coming from someone 5’1”. This isn’t very inclusive at all for people who maybe taller or in a larger body. They’re uncomfortable as well. Secondly, there’s no bathroom. I understand New York State says only places with 19 chairs and up need a bathroom but it’s inconvenient when they serve both food and drink to not have a bathroom. Thirdly, the prices are astronomical and although the coffee is good and food is ok, i don’t understand the high price point. Lastly, some of the baristas may need more training because they have served me a cortado in a macchiato cup TWICE. a cortado is 4 oz.
All in all, this place has potential but doesn’t hit the mark. To the owner:: research what successful coffee shops in Brooklyn are doing. Bathroom, inclusive environment, free water, and competitive pricing.“

“Thank you, Nana's Westbury !!!“

“Food was delicious ������ great customer service �����keep up the good work guys ��������“

“Oh my goshh the employees are so nice. Like extremely friendly and chatty I love it. So many vegan options and they also care to help me find out if something is vegan or not. Snacks and drinks are yummy and well made. The atmosphere is so cute and cozy and nice. Good crowd too, I always like going to a cafe and seeing people quietly studying or doing work or chatting at a good volume, stuff like that. It feels very community to me. Love it“

“Great food great service. Try the prime rib special on Saturday nights. Been coming here 30 years.“

“My second time here, I loved the açaí bowl the first time, overpriced but make sense , it’s delicious and fresh ingredients, so it’s worthy, however the experience I had this morning with the lady in the front was horrible, 0 professional and tbh I wouldn’t go back to be treated like that. But oh boy, the coconut bowl it’s so good.“

“I've been ordering lunch delivery here for a while now. Each time, the experience has been amazing. Yes, they are pricey, but the food and presentation are so worth it! I loved the kippered salmon sandwich. I cannot get enough of their butternut squash soup and the varied fresh juices. The tomato soup is also good, and the tuna panini. Now, the avocado salmon sandwich surpassed my expectations! Everything is always fresh and tasty and leaves you with a healthy vibe. The only miss was the “make your own salad” which I would never try again, better to go with what they offer on the menu.“

“The food was hot service was excellent and was greeted at the door by a friendly hostess. Food was very tasty and quick.“

“Amazing ! You won’t be disappointed….“
