50 Best Cafes near Locust Valley

“We had a very enjoyable experience here on a Saturday afternoon. The store has a great atmosphere appropriate for a cheese shop.

We sampled three delicious cheeses in order to help decide on our purchase. They have an excellent selection and so hard to choose! Samantha was so sincerely friendly and eager to make our time there a pleasant one and not just a business transaction. We look forward to going back for lunch as they have a great selection of sandwiches with various cheeses.

We went yesterday and today made “elevated” grilled cheese sandwiches from one of our purchases yesterday. They came out as delicious as expected!“

“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!“

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“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“

“Humble cafe has a chill vibe which I loved. The music and setting is perfect for anyone wanting to relax, read or catch up with friends. I found it interesting that they roast their own coffee beans. I've never seen a machine like the one they have up close before so I found it unique. We just had an iced latte and ice coffee and found it to be a good Saturday afternoon spot to spend time in.“

“Hands down the best restaurant in Westchester! This is a run, don’t walk, recommendation. From the moment you enter Cafe Deux, you’re transformed to another era. The owners, Carrie and Charlotte Denoyer, greet each customer with warmth as they accommodate every request—from seating, to craft cocktails, to gf/df/v options. With a chef who clearly “gets it”, each course feels so very special—as if prepared just for you! I’ve been visiting Cafe Deux since they’ve opened so picking my favorite dishes is near impossible, but…Breakfast-crustless farmers market quiche; Lunch- salad tuna nicoise; Dinner—mussels, the Deux wagyu burger, any fish special, and of course the fries, which take 48hrs to prepare). This place is perfection! Harrison sure is lucky to have them!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Honestly parking here is HORRIBLE because it’s located in a shopping center with a few other businesses/ restaurants so I would say best to park outside the lot. I ended up parking 2 blocks away which was far for this area. The cafe is small and can easily be missed. They’re a lot of seating and wasn’t busy so service was quick. They’re blueberry matcha was a special and when I received it I didn’t think I would like it as much since I’m not a fan of anything with pulp and the blueberry had pulp bits but you can tell it’s super fresh. After my first sip I can’t wait to go back for more because it was THAT good. Probably the best blueberry matcha I’ve ever had. I love places like this - little hole in the wall spots that just slap! Would recommend but it is far from me so I would have to make the 25 min drive (without traffic) just for this cafe. Wish the matcha was a little stronger so I would probably do double matcha next time but it did work well with the recipe for the drink. Would highly recommend giving this a try. I saw they have strawberry matcha too so maybe I’ll get both next time“

“Found this little gem through Google as we took my mother in law to the hospital for her surgery. The place didn’t disappoint, we had French toast, avocado toast, and eggs with bacon and sausage. Everything was amazing and the owner who was also our server was super sweet and funny!! I would recommend this place to everyone !!“

“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!“

“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 !“

“Neiman Marcus Cafe stands out among the food offerings at the mall. The atmosphere is simple yet sophisticated. Paul, our server, was excellent. Our sandwiches were plentiful and delicious - I had the tuna melt and my friend had the chicken club. We will definitely return. PS - the popovers are a must!“

“Food and service here is impeccable. Fresh ingredients, artisanal snacks, and healthy options! We stay at the hospital often and so happy with this healthy option in the neighborhood. The ambiance is super adorable too-- perfect place to catch up with friends.“

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

“We were seated immediately upon arrival with our reservation. It is beautifully decorated and spacious. The service was excellent. Plates and utensils were removed after each course. The tuna tarte was excellent. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the sautéed spinach very tasty. We will return.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I had the best experience with the short friendly asian girl in the front, Miranda. She was extremely knowledgable about the entire menu, and gave me great recommendations. Additionally, her latte art is just as beautiful as her, changed my life and cleared my skin. She deserves a raise ♥“

“*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!“

“Super nice staff. Great NY bagels! Willing to cook me anything my mind makes up! Great baked goods, cozy, friendly, great coffee.“

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

“The food and the atmosphere were amazing. The employees were super nice and patient. The only problem is that there is a heavy amount of drain flies at the bar section. I think they need to apply insecticide to all the drains and clean them thoroughly, and not to leave wet towels because that could attract them.“

“Thank you, Nana's Westbury !!!“

“Food & service were good!“

“I had mt daughters 4th birthday at Madeline’s and they did an excellent job! The atmosphere is beautiful, clean and has something for everyone! The staff took care of everything and provided everything from balloons, decor to cupcakes. We did a hair and nails package for the princess theme and the girls did an amazing job! My daughter was thrilled and couldn’t be happier.“

“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!!“

“Absolutely awesome experience! Legit felt like I was in Provenza. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere really took me back to my trip to Colombia this past summer. I had the Mojarra it was exquisite!! Definitely give this dope spot a try!!“

“Great place. Great food. Staff was super nice. Went for my birthday with a group of about 14 people and our 6 month old. Made us feel comfortable.“

“Peppy enjoyed the meal too!“

“I’m currently sick with COVID and have four kids, so finding something that everyone would enjoy was a huge win! Way of Life Wholesome Eatery really hit the spot. Everything was fresh, wholesome, flavorful, and delicious, and there were so many choices that everyone in the family could find something they loved. It was exactly the kind of comforting, healthy meal we needed. We’ll definitely be ordering again! Highly recommend! ❤“

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

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“Great food, great atmosphere“

“Delicious cake, amazing staff - who dealt with my craziness on such short notice. Beautifully decorated and brought such a smile to my 16-year-old daughter's face (which isn't easy😉) Even the restaurant staff was impressed by the taste and texture of the cake. Can't wait to stop in again for a treat or to order another specialty cake.“

“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.“

“Now let me tell you, this family owned Bagel Cafe, is more than bagels, the have breakfast burritos too! Finishing up a work trip, on my way to the airport, I wanted something yummy. This was Mama Yummy! Shout out to Tamer for making the best custom breakfast burrito, hitting all the right spots with avocado, pepper jack cheese, eggs & sausage, hash brown, grilled onions, & his secret sauce! 🔥 hospitality was 10/10, thank you Jacque , Tamer & Lisa. Cheers to many more years of success! - Just a guy visiting from LA.“

“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.“

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

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