“Leuke plaats om een hapje of een drankje te doen. Ontspannen sfeer en aardige mensen in de bediening. De burgers zijn van goede kwaliteit en heerlijk van smaak. Gewoon leuk en ontspannen iets eten tussen de leuke muurschilderingen, ik zou het aanbevelen!“

“I’m from Knoxville, TN and it was just great to have white fish salad in a real bagel (both firsts for my husband). LB is “home” and the place was clean, the staff attentive and friendly, and the food (bagel, whitefish salad, lox spread and potato salad) were all just as they should be. Special shout out for that potato salad. ‘Best I’ve had in a long time.“

“I stumbled upon this small but incredibly cute café, and I’m so glad I did! The star of the menu has to be the fire waffles and chicken crispy, savory, and perfectly paired with fluffy waffles that had the perfect touch of sweetness. It’s comfort food at its finest, and the portion sizes are just right. The hot chocolate? Out of this world just what you need to warm your soul. Service was fast and friendly, making the experience even better. If you’re looking for a cozy spot with fantastic food, you need to check this place out!“

“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.“

“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.“

“They need A Carlson button. Put everything in it.“

“We visited in May 2025. I would recommend this place. We had a long layover. A local told us about this place. We walked over here with all our luggage in tow. The restaurant is inside the TWA hotel. The hotel is cool in a retro way. We were able to store our luggage under the counter. There was no wait for a table. The wait staff was super friendly. The food was really good. The pizza and salmon sushi were my favorite. Even the salad was excellent. We spent a few hours eating and drinking. Watched a wedding take place in the lobby. It was a fun experience versus sitting in the terminal. There is also a plane in the back of the hotel that they turned into a bar.“

“The food was good and the service was great. Lots of things in the small store. The everything store since 1986.
Candy, windshield wiper fluid, Tylenol, ice cream, soda, juice, fruits, croissants, chips, water, gum, newspapers, shampoo, toothpaste, toilet paper, batteries, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, etc.“

“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.“

“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! 💕“

“I visited Gran Caffe Gelateria with a few friends for a late-night dessert after dinner, and we were also looking for a good coffee spot. This place had great reviews, so we decided to check it out, especially since it stays open late.

The gelato selection was impressive, offering a variety of flavors at a great price point—definitely good value for the quality. The gelato itself was super creamy and delicious, better than many places I’ve tried before. I also appreciated that the portion sizes were generous.

As for the customer service, while the staff was polite, I felt the engagement could have been better. When asking about flavors and pricing, it was a bit of a one-sided conversation. Since it wasn’t too busy at the time, I would have preferred a little more interaction to make the experience feel more welcoming.

The coffee and espresso were also fantastic, with a surprisingly good value for the price. My friends and I were impressed with the flavor and quality.

One thing to keep in mind is parking—since it’s a corner shop, parking was limited, and we had to park about half a block away. If you're planning a visit, just be prepared for that.

Overall, this is a great spot for late-night gelato or coffee. The selection is not overwhelming, but what they do have is top-notch. Whether you're going solo, with friends, or even with kids, this is a solid choice for a sweet treat. I'll definitely consider coming back!“

“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!“

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

“"During a busy day of showing homes in the West Hempstead area, I had the pleasure of stopping by Bagel Hero at 290 Hempstead Ave for a quick breakfast break.Opting for their steak, egg on a roll sandwich special with cheese, accompanied by a fresh coffee, I was immediately impressed by the delicious quality of their food.It's not just the flavors that make Bagel Hero stand out; it's the combination of their exceptional service, the warmth of their staff's customer service, and the overall ambience of the place that truly sets them apart.The atmosphere is soft, clean, and incredibly inviting, making it the perfect spot for a morning meal or a casual meet-up.Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend dropping in for a bite.Bagel Hero isn't just a fantastic bagel shop; it's a cornerstone of the neighborhood that offers a delightful dining experience."“

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

“The best coffee baristas I love RS BEANERY!!! If your having an awful day just come there and you’ll be cheered up by the wonderful staff!!!! Can’t recommend RSB ENOUGH!!!!!“

“Food is great! From French toast to salads , fried chicken and panini, everything is delicious , and prices are reasonable👍🏻👍🏻“

“I am in love with this place. Besides the classic Italian menu items they have unique dishes like their Blueberry Meatballs and Calamari Verde ( my favorite ) add to that the wonderful staff and you have a great place to take family and friends to.“

“Wonderful people/wonderful coffee!“

“I love the food choices, but the Bellmore location is always " cold". Many people had their coats on. Can something be done?“

“todo muy rico y muy buena atencion“

“The place was ok. Quite spacious and clean. I came in between, so I wasn't expecting much.
But I wish there would be better lighting. I think the light diffuser can be changed to illuminate the dining area and the food display.“

“The food was amazing, I got the Texas Hold ‘em but with grilled chicken and they did an amazing job. They cook the chicken/bacon right in front of your eyes, plus the food tastes incredibly fresh. I recommend getting one of their panini’s, they know what they are doing and most likely what they have on the menu is a really good idea.The place has a huge drink selection on the wall, a few shelves full of chips, and the menu is incredibly easy to read and it actually includes the ingredients which you don’t see anymore nowadays.The staff was super nice and took your order quickly, somehow the (I believe manager) remembered my order (Texas hold ‘em with grilled chicken) in just three visits.Sadly soon I’ll have to leave New York and won’t be able to eat here anytime soon, but I will remember this place.“

“I visit this deli every time I come to NY since new management took over. Chris continually makes improvements and his vision for the future will have me coming back often. My family accompanied me on the last trip. They thoroughly enjoyed the sandwiches we ordered and now want to accompany me on every trip.“

“I slept over my sister's condo with my son and her 3 kids. My son and his cousin stayed up the whole night. My sister slept upstairs with her daughters and I was downstairs with the boys so I couldn't walk out in the morning to find a bagel place. After scrolling through grub hub I was happy to find three guys and they were reasonably priced compared to other bagel stores. I ordered a dozen bagels, some cream cheese and coffee. I liked the coffee and the bagels were the right amount of soft and hard combined. The cream cheese was creamy and good. I'm pleased with this bagel place.“

“AMAZING AÇAÍ BOWLS, great service :)“

“Un pedacito de Honduras en Jamaica Queens. Que Felicia de comida!“

“I finally came in here for my morning coffee… & just enjoyed the BEST Pumpkin Spice Latte I have ever had!🎃 Delicious! Significantly better than Starbucks (which I’ve always loved). Very nicely-designed place. Feels good in here. Except for being crowded & a bit loud inside- but that’s what happens when your place is good…!😁 See u tmrw, your neighbor across the street 🇮🇹😘“

“We had my mom’s surprise 70th birthday there yesterday and it was absolutely PERFECT! The food was delicious and everyone had an amazing time, especially the birthday girl 😊 We know the Borrelli’s for quite some time now and they always go above and beyond. It’s truly like being with family. Thank you to the entire Borrelli’s staff for everything!“

“I’ve tried the rhubarb and triple chocolate so far. They were both so rich in flavor and ultra creamy. I was worried about trying new brands but this one has been by far the best in-store ice cream I’ve tried. I think the small blue box gives it a cute touch also!“
