Sweet coffee shop nestled a few feet from the train tracks. Quaint shop with artistic aesthetics. A simple menu with variety of drinks. I opted for the hot chocolate and it did not disappoint. Packed with flavor and made me with genuine care.This shop has the ambiance of artsy and also grabbing a caffeinated drink with a friend. There are seats overlooking the Locust Valley streets. I recommend you try the hot chocolate and don’t forget the whip ❤️

The coffee is the best on the north shore of Long Island (in my opinion). Great people that work there that are happy and passionate about what they do! It’s a good energy cafe that it worth the trip even if it’s out of the way!

I don't like their coffee. It's not strong enough for the price. Very milky and iced down. Not tasty.

This place is very cute located conveniently by the train station. Also it is very clean and the staff is always amazing.The coffee is absolutely outstanding bold and smooth. I ordered coffee with a shot of espresso, sugar free vanilla and steamed oat milk (my go to). There is indoor and outdoor seating and also they have candles, shirts/sweaters and little Knick knacks for sale.

Came here after a stroll at the Japanese gardens close by and what a cute place. My son is still obsessed with the dinosaur egg he got from here like 2 weeks ago. My cocoa was good and I'd definitely come back for some ice cream next time. Service was great. Like I said just what a cute place. Definitely recommend.

I came here with my friend for our weekly Sunday morning debrief to try a new coffee shop. I got a lavender latte and I wanted an egg sandwich, but they were all out. The coffee was okay. I got a large (pictured) and it was kinda small for how much it cost. My friend got the avocado toast and it was just smashed avocado on white bread, like something you could make at home. As for the ambiance, I am not a fan off all the tchotchkes they are trying to sell inside. However, I do like the branding on all the cups and the large logo in the back of the store.

The coffee here was very good. I had The founder, which is an oat maple spice latte. I thought the staff was really nice, but because of the morning rush of people I didn't notice when my coffee had been put out. I think this could be improved by taking the customers' names while they're ordering. I'm giving this place 4 stars because I thought the food was okay for the price I paid. I had avocado toast, which was just smashed avocado on a slice of white bread with a drizzle of balsamic. It was good and I love avocado, but not something I would go out of my way for.

They use coffee from Devocion, one of my favorite local coffee places, and it was delicious! Small but very cute coffee shop by the train station ☕️☕️☕️?

In my attempt to try out all local Long Island coffee shops like I'm trying to Catch'Em All™, I found myself drawn to Karmic Grind. (and my drawn I mean, I drove 20 mins out of my way to visit)Parking is street parking, but surprisingly easy to find a spot on a late Saturday morning. Despite the exterior, inside is plenty spacious with tables and chairs and merchandise and ice cream! There are quite a few delectable pastries to choose from, even Doughnut Plant donuts. Which is an immediate win in my book. But alas, I opted for just an iced salted caramel latte instead. Honestly, its one of the most luxurious lattes I have ever tasted. On par with the Burnt Caramel Latte at Druthers. Its a wonderfully sweet and salty caramel flavor in every sip (on account that it is actual caramel used in each latte!). And you know its legit when the final sips of the latte were just straight up salt. (so just be warned about that). But overall, I'm sad that I live quite a bit of ways away from this shop. Because its options are high quality and I am anxiously awaiting the next time I get to try it out!

Lovely cafe. Very spacious for studying, dates, hang outs and meet ups!Beautiful cafe with a great view of the train.The signature matcha latte was incredible and the sea salt caramel latte. We had a few other drinks and snacks but I don’t recall. Everything was surly good and we went back to get more food.Great service with kind servers! Looking forward to coming back soon!!

Very friendly. Great coffee and donuts from donut plant NYC. A little expensive but worth it to support local business.

Karmic grind is a great place to get coffee I got a hot chocolate and the barista put extra marshmallows in my hot chocolate and I personally think that is a very wholesome act

So the positive, very clean and coffee is fresh. The negatives: customer service could be better. The staff seemed like they were tired, and just didn't want to be there. They weren't rude, but could be friendlier. No hot Decaf available only in Iced Coffee, not quite what i was in the mood for but Surprisingly good!! Very smooth low on the bitter!! You have to turn sideways to walk in the front door because of all the merchandise clutter, thats not good. Definitely an issue if god forbid there was a fire. Street parking only. All in all not a bad little coffee spot! I would have rated a 5 if it weren't for these little fixable issues.

Excellent excellent place. Came here looking for dinner on a holiday when everywhere else in the area was closed. Not a place I'd traditionally grab dinner from as its more an option for coffee, breakfast or lunch. But the food. Holy crud. It's fantastic. I ended up getting a whole bunch of stuff, muffins, coffees, non-coffees, donuts, other pastries. Unfortunately for my family, nothing made it home. I gorged and gorged until there was no more gorging possible. So fresh and flavorful. I wish this place was closer but then, it's better that it's not, as I'd never leave. Sooooooo good.
