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

“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.“

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

“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 ?.“

“Love love love this spot. I’ve walked past it a few times, regrettably. Don’t do the same! The staff is cool, Celeste is very nice! I enjoyed what I ordered and look forward to tasting everything on the menu. Healthy clean eats yet extremely flavored. Stop! They have wild caught salmon!!! I’m so excited.“

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

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

“This was a wonderful experience. I have had lunch here a few times and brought my husband to experience my favorite restaurant for lunch. Th food and choices are plentiful and the staff absolutely very friendly and professional. I look forward to my next lunch in The Neiman Marcus cafe.“

“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.“

“Great food! The Octoberfest Menu is great! Our waitress was not as attentive, this is not the norm for Small Batch! My husband and love this restaurant because the food is always consistently satisfying. We done here often and definitely will be back...new staff members should be aware that returning customers are expecting the same quality of serviced that is synonymous with Small Batch. I highly recommend Small Batch despite the hiccup during my last visit“

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

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

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

“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.“

“Love this place the service is amazing the workers are so nice and friendly, the place inside is always super clean. As for the food and drinks are always so good and perfect 10/10 would recommend. Telling all my friends about this delicious hidden Gem ?!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Been going to daily dose juice bar down at 111-15 Farmers Blvd, St. Albans and I don’t plan on stopping. Their food items are seriously life changing! From the friendly staff to the organic smoothies, and etc all bring joy throughout my day. I always buy a drink from there on my way to work but my favorite has GOT to be the chicken and waffles. The crispy and tender texture of the chicken is beyond exhilarating!! Waffles are done at the perfect level where they are fluffy and delicious. I love eating from here and like I said I do plan on stopping. COME HERE IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A SOME GOOD FOOD!!

Vegetarian options: Black bean burger“

“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“

“The everything bagel was covered in salt I couldn’t eat it , but the coffee was great and the barista was very attentive. Everyone seems positive with one another and work very well. The line was long but they know how to keep it moving. My coffee was delicious I had the special flavor Strawberry ( it was mixed with another flavor I forgot what) , can’t wait to go again!“

“Love this place excellent ice cream and macaroons“

“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.“

“Good place to hang out for snacking. Crepes are nice not great, and so is their coffee. Come here for a pit stop but not as a destination. The decorations are cute and cozy but they tend to use the fan more than ac, so on hot days it can get quite warm with all the lights. This place is a self serve place, so you gotta pick up your food and clear it just like at McDonald's.“

“I LOVE this little place in Hewlett, I stop by once in awhile on a lunch break from where I work. They have a wide range of menu choices and everything that I've tried here I love. It's like Hewlett's little diner. I came here once with a guy I was briefly seeing after I had begun my divorce process. We ended up discontinuing seeing each other but we remained friends until he sadly died from covid. I like coming here sometimes because it helps me remember him, being in a spot where we once hung out for an hour. I've taken one of my friends here too she loves it. If you're in the area and it's open this is worth stopping in. The prices are incredibly reasonable as well which is very hard to find now.

Vegetarian options: They have a decent amount of vegetarian options and some vegan options too.“

“I just had the best egg salad sandwich of my life here. (It looked so good that I dove right in and forgot to take a picture). Huge amount of egg salad, creamy, delicious. This deli is small and looks like the kind of place that has been there for many years-in a good way. As soon as you walk in, you just know it's going to be good. The two women who work there were very friendly. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back for an egg sandwich, which seem to be their specialty judging from their online menu and the smell of eggs wafting through the store.“

“This was my first time visiting this cafe after reading some good reviews. Service was quick and polite. The seating area was clean and felt spacious but unfortunately the entrance was not very inviting.
The AC is right above the door and water was consistently dripping right in the entrance pathway. Would highly recommend a drain hose to help keep customers dry when entering and exiting the store.“

“I recently visited SoBol and had an amazing experience! I ordered the Açaí smoothie, and it was absolutely delicious. The blend of flavors was refreshing and perfectly balanced, making for a delightful treat. I also tried one of their Açaí bowls, which was equally fantastic, topped with fresh fruits and granola that added the perfect crunch. The staff were friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall positive vibe of the place. I loved the cozy atmosphere, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy my meal. I can’t wait to return and try more of their offerings! Highly recommend SoBol for anyone looking for tasty and healthy smoothies and bowls!“

“Recomendado 100%, deliciosa comida“

“This is so close to my home and great for the neighborhood. The staff are great. I ordered a Mocha. It tasted great. Too strong a drink for so late in the day. Their baked goods look amazing. I didn't try any of those as of yet. I have only been there once but since I work from home, it's nice to have a place nearby to getaway from working and living out of my home.Thanks for opening up a nice cafe for us. Our neighborhood needs something nicer than Dunkin Donuts.“

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

“Excellent coffee, matcha, tea, and treats!
Their standard menu is excellent but their ever-changing seasonal menu is next level. Check out their Instagram for the latest. Past seasonal drinks from memory: the sweet corn einspanner (crossing fingers for a fall return!), the marshmallow dream cream (yum!), blueberry matcha latte, and most recently the apricot cardamom espresso tonic. All delicious and unique. I also really appreciate that they have non-caffeine options for kids and adults alike - even the decaf espresso is great. You'll also want to save room for their treats and...If you're still reading this, just go already.“

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

“I recently had the filet mignon tidbits. Absolutely the best I ever had. You have to try it.“

“Never been disappointed with anything I’ve gotten here. Highly recommend the Veggie Panino (haven’t seen it in a few weeks, tho 🥺 lol), Steak Fajita Wrap, Tacos Flautas (special), rice balls, & croissant w/ chocolate hazelnut spread. I’ve had other options and enjoyed them, but these are my top faves so far.“

“Trivia on back patio 7:30 every Tuesday. Dinner, drinks, desert. What more do you want?“

“I ordered the London Fog and Breakfast Burrito. The tea was the perfect temp (just shy of burning hot) and delicious. The burrito was excellent. The cafe itself is very cozy and lowkey; perfect for treating yourself to a nice meal or an outing with 1 other person.“

“We stayed at the TWA hotel the weekend before Christmas and decided to eat at the Paris cafe as it was convenient and fit the retro vibe of our trip. We were able to be seated without a booking.
Service was friendly and the food was good.
I would recommend if you have time to burn at the airport instead of waiting airside take the air train to the TWA hotel and have a meal, it’s probably the same price as airport food and ten times better.
It’s airport prices but with more fun and flair!
The crispy rice salmon sushi was the standout for me, the cauliflower was okay, nothing special. The pizzas are also really good! Cooked well, good base and variety toppings. Calamari was good, the burrata was okay, the flavors were too sweet and the plain white bread toast was not enough and too basic.“

“thank you for the lovely gesture yesterday of the banana bread! my friends were out of town visiting and they enjoyed the coffee and teas! Michael was a doll🥰“

“Rodolfo it’s truly a professional!! She allowed me to taste the mango for free and then he ups Old me on the Super Bowl. Everything is so delicious. I really appreciate the effort and the customer service Rodolfo has shown. I am a happy customer and I will definitely be coming back. This was the best experience I’ve ever had and also my first açai bowl, thank you keep up the good work. My daughters enjoyed the açai bowls as much as I did.“

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

“This place is incredible! Not only is there fast internet and affordable food, the servers are really nice and collect your plates when you’re done eating. The decorations, music and furniture make a nice, peaceful atmosphere. There are plenty of places to sit with an outdoor section, as well as a room further inside for larger groups which I’ve been using with my friends for study sessions.“

“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.“

“Recently ordered a panini, chocolate brownie, and blueberry cheesecake on Uber Eats. The food was undeniably delicious—I have to commend them on crafting the best panini I've tasted in a while!However, there was a slight hiccup in the order—they delivered 2 brownies instead of one, and unfortunately, the blueberry cheesecake was missing. Considering the cheesecake's higher value compared to the brownie, it was a bit disappointing.Despite this minor disorder, I must say the food quality itself was top-notch. The flavors were fantastic. Taking everything into account, I'm rating my experience at 4 stars. The service slip-up aside, the overall culinary experience was truly enjoyable.Looking forward to another order for that outstanding panini, and maybe a chance to savor the elusive Vegan blueberry cheesecake next time!“

“What a lovely atmosphere! Between the velvet sofas and antique coffee tables, such a darling place to unwind and relax. The tiramisu was amazing! Highly recommend!“
