50 Best Cafes near Locust Valley

“Beautiful location, excellent excellent food, excellent service, several outdoor dining locations on the property, would recommend it highly.“

“Totally enjoyed everything about this place. Stopped in to take my little sister out for cheesecake, was nicely greeted and served. Cheesecake was amazing!! Chai tea also was wonderful. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“In a quest to find “REAL “ whitefish salad, I followed a friend’s suggestion and tried Cafe 17A. Amazing! This past weekend I tried several other salads- Vegetable Tuna, Chicken Salad, Egg whites and spinach, Egg salad and mushrooms and of course sliced Nova and home made cream cheeses. My guests raved! Everything is fresh, and homemade with Love by Scott, the owner. Thanks Scott, - can’t wait to return- You’ve definitely nailed it“

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“Went there for a coffee and a little treat with a friend. The two ladies behind the counter were very nice and helpful when asked about recommendations. I got a mini chocolate croissant and an iced dirty horchata with oat milk. It was nice to sit there and read a book while enjoying my delicious drink. They also have a little area in the corner for kids and Ilove how family friendly the place is. I saw a lot of individuals and families come through the doors and all left smiling. I will definitely come again when I’m in the area.“

“The atmosphere at Cafe Deux is so lovely you feel right at home with the friendliness of the staff. They’re all wonderful!!!
The chicken sandwich lunch special at Cafe Deux is amazing. I ordered the sandwich twice this week on wednesday and again on friday as it was that good !!! The chicken sandwich has a slight spice flavor but not too spicy and the garlic aioli sauce was such a great pairing with the sandwich. I really hope the chicken sandwich transitions from being a lunch special to being part of the main menu at Cafe Deux :)
Definitely ask to try any of their mixed drinks especially the lavender martini which is a great drink for the summer :)“

“Very nice staff plus clean & fun facility for children & adults to enjoy!“

“I can not say enough positive things about this place. The girl was so friendly and helpful. I originally went to pickup a togoodtogo order and ended up placing a second order because everything just looked so good. Everything I got in the togoodtogo order was amazing and it was a nice variety it had a bag of goldfish as an extra treat which my kids enjoyed. There was even a handwritten note thanking me for my order which was so sweet and I felt appreciated. The bubble teas were fresh and flavorful and a great value for the price. I can't wait to go back to try more.“

“Some days you just want comfort without leaving home, and today Susan’s Kitchen was exactly what I needed. I ordered delivery, and they went above and beyond with every detail. The chocolate chip cookie with walnuts is the kind of treat that instantly lifts your mood, and the omelettes were perfectly prepared and so delicious. Their thoughtfulness really shines through, and I’m so grateful for the warmth they put into their food.“

“The Polo Lounge is such a great place! We were celebrating our 1 year anniversary and another couple was celebrating their 50th anniversary! The food was delicious! The portions are appropriate so you're not totally full before your main course even comes. The atmosphere is a fun. There's a lounge singer and couples dancing. It was lovely to watch and we were sitting in our booth. There was a wedding going on, but it did not bother the restaurant at all. We will be back every year for our anniversary after bring married at Westbury Manor. The staff, the food, and the atmosphere will keep us coming back!“

“What an incredible place! I was in a pinch as I was planning on visiting my family for a few weeks in New York. My dates kept changing and the team went above and beyond to accommodate me and my evolving schedule. My daughter LOVED going to the camp. She came home with so many stories, they made food, craft and had fun! What a gem. We will be coming back when travel again to garden city“

“My granddaughter wanted to go because of the popovers and chicken broth served before every meal. They were great, but then who needed lunch? We ended up taking most of our food home. I especially liked the daylight streaming through the large windows which made it feel like eating outdoors.“

“Would highly recommend this place! Everything from the carefully curated menu and the unique products on the shelf, to the interior design and color palette giving relaxed yet elevated vibes, to even the fragrant hand sanitizer were exceptionally amazing. The staff was very sweet and helpful. And the food was delicious, while the portion size was plentiful.“

“Had a fantastic meal in a comfortable and fun atmosphere and the staff were so helpful and attentive. Would highly recommend and wish we lived closer to go back often. Check them out!“

“It was wonderful to sit and talk with my company without having to raise my voice. They layout of the restaurant is great, warm and relaxing. Service and pace was on point. The menu has many options for all. My only reason not to give the experience a full 5⭐️is because the food was very good but not amazing.“

“Most amazing and delicious healthy foods & drinks 🙌🏻so many places to sit outside especially on an amazing day“

“My first time here but have been following them for years. OMG, the real deal! I was in a rush so ordered two sandwiches and three pies for a pick-up, but saw that tire was stocked with authentic Italian products so want to come back and shop!“

“I love this place. I order my food from here almost daily since I work across the street. I LOVE this place. Everything iv tried is AMAZING!“

“10/10 for all the best people working at Time Out ♥️ This is very much a local spot where you’re guaranteed great service and great food and drinks! Lots of good atmosphere, pool table, darts, great game and music selection!“

“A lovely and friendly place with delicious pastries and home made French Crepes. It was a pleasure to come and exchange with owner Pierre-Yves. Undoubtedly a place to come !“

“Love this place! This is my go-to spot for lunch with friends and family. I highly recommend the grilled peach ricotta toast, the hot honey chicken sandwich, the everything pigs in a blanket, the crispy brussels sprouts and any of the smoothies. YUM!

The moss wall art is STUNNING!

Staff is very friendly.

The whole restaurant and bar area is really beautiful. Wish they’d bring back dinner and happy hour so I could go more often with my husband and daughter. But happy to continue to visit for lunch until then :)“

“Good Italian bake goods, gelato, and coffee.“

“Thank you, Nana's Westbury !!!“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“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 was spending a few hours with friends I had not spent time with in person for several years. At one point, one in our party wanted coffee, so we decided to look around for a place for coffee, and found Cafe Nico's. The cappuccino was delicious, and I also had a flaky pastry filled with a vanilla custard sauce. Since the cafe is Italian, I cannot refer to it as a croissant. This is one of the few places that is cash only. I look forward to returning, the first chance I can.“

“Great coffee shop and well lit to sit and read or get some work done on your laptop while you enjoy a latte. Some of the pricing was a bit higher than I expected but it’s worth the price to enjoy a small local business. Would recommend and would return again!“

“So yummy! Cereal milkshakes are delicious! S’mores cookie was so good. Wish they stayed open a bit later but 11/10😍“

“As an instructor of multiple classes at Wowmoms World Long Island, my experiences have been positive in every aspect of the facility. The clients, the children, the staff, the franchise owner, the play space, the fitness area, the cafe....EVERYTHING, HAS BEEN A PLEASURE FOR ME. I am able to have my almost 2 year old daughter with me at all times and she feels comfortable, safe and at home whenever we are there. Whether we are teaching classes, taking classes, playing, or eating a nutritious lunch, it is always a welcoming feeling being a part of such a pleasant and positive nurturing environment. If you havent had a chance to visit, please find some time. It is definitely worth it.“

“Bought Chicken Tikka masala, palak paneer and Gobi aloo with lacha parathas. The food was utterly delicious. Sonia and her Chef outdid themselves. It is a must go to place. You are missing something if you haven’t had Food from Badshah’s Cafe.“

“The salad sampler is my daily go to for lunch! The options are so fresh and seasonal. I love the fresh new combos that I always get to try. I am so happy that my office is right next door. I look forward to lunch daily!!! The salads are such a yummy treat!!“

“Hands down the best chicken and waffles we’ve ever had! Great service and friendly staff. Definitely recommend. Yum.“

“My recent visit with my 15-year-old granddaughter was not as pleasant as the last time I was there with my “drinking “girlfriends . I requested fancy Shirley temples in a champagne flute the way they looked at me like I was asking for way too much. We waited too long to order because he was too busy for us making me feel unimportant. The calamari was fantastic. The pizza was great, but the hearts of palm avocado salad was terrible uneditable I didn't dare complain. I will never return “

“Nice Breakfast & lunch menu to choose from. I had a Sandwich (daily special) it was fresh and delicious. Snacks & drinks are readily available. It was quick & easy with great prices to boot. Win win.“

“My favorite everyday coffee is an extra large iced coffee. The owner John knows you by your name and gives exceptional customer service. John also has great taste and knowledge in Music and is always playing interesting music.. I give Sunshine Coffee Roasters a 6 out 5 stars!“

“Food & service were good!“

“Amazing staff. Great book selection and just an overall incredible place! Highly recommend.“

“last year my youngest son brought me here. .my first not his apparently. I loved it! Hooked on first try..this is my special place with Connor ♥️.The service is genuinely friendly @ from the lady to the teens that work there."no attitude"im a fan of their decor too..if yu havent tried it ...you must🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽“

“I have eaten here a few times while waiting for my mom visiting a doctor upstairs.
Food is typical deli style and not having to leave the building is great.
All the crew behind the counter have always been courteous and super welcoming and their prices are fair.“

“This is a wonderful social club experience for developmentally disabled adults. I don't know why the counties and cities aren't duplicating this model. It's a purely social experience - snacks, music, activities, holiday parties. The manager is one of the best human beings on the planet! We should be sending our social work and psych students to intern here and we should be creating club experiences in the same model all over.“

“Place is great and I love coming here all the time. I’ll spare you a bad star rating because sometimes weird things can happen. Today there was hardcore rap music playing. Unflitered, use of every profanity and racial slur under the sun. Can’t come here with kids or family if it keeps up. Wrong area, wrong crowd guys. Please get on it owners/management. This one thing, although seemingly trivial, can finish you. Good luck-see you soon“

“Great place to hang out, eat and drink healthier. The staff are amazing, very kind, really trying to do their best to make the food yummy. Love their acai bowls!“

“*5/5 Stars - A Slice of Heaven in Great Neck!*

I'm still drooling just thinking about the incredible salad and pastries from this bakery! The moment I stepped inside, I knew I was in for a treat. The aroma of freshly baked goods wafted through the air, and the staff's warm smiles made me feel right at home.

The croissant? Flaky, buttery crust giving way to a sweet surprise center. The rugelach? Layers of flaky dough wrapped around a rich, creamy filling. And don't even get me started on the babka - moist, chocolatey, and utterly addictive.

What truly sets this bakery apart is the love and care that goes into every single item. You can taste the difference in every bite. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering this hidden gem, do yourself a favor and get here ASAP.

*Pro tip:* Try the bakery specials - they're always a delight! Can't wait to come back and indulge in more of their delicious treats!“

“Admittedly most people come for the convenience when they work either in the building or next door but the food is actually pretty solid. I'm always nervous when a place has such a large menu but the options I've tried have always been good. I pretty consistently get the gyro on a wrap and it's a well-made wrap with good ingredients. Their soup and hot meal rotation is pretty good so those are always decent options. The same people have been working there the three years I've been going so that has to say something positively about the shop.“

“Great food great staff I never had a problem with the food or service All the times I went TNT luncheonette this place is awesome!!!!“

“The best pitaya bowl I have ever tried. SUPER FRESH. The fruit toppings were very fresh as well. Babies love it as well, just buy it without the toppings. The fresh mango they used for topping was the best I have ever had. I wonder where they buy their mangoes. Very convenient location, on the avenue. I put my pitaya bowl in the fridge overnight, as it was just as delicious de-frosted.“
