“Found this place online and gave it a try. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!Best Gelato and so incredibly fresh canolis!The only thing better than the selection and the flavor of the food is the helpful attitude and friendliness of the staff!The only choice for great Gelato!!“

“Food, drinks, service , music is Amazing 🥳Manager/ owner is very personal and professional 👍Celebrated my husband birthday!“

“Amazing atmosphere and superb customer service. The best bubble tea around! Want a customized drink? They have an amazing “secret menu” of all kinds of hand crafted drinks! Everything is absolutely DeLicious!“

“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.“

“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 ?.“

“Came in for after dinner SWEET GOODNESS and boy, were they ON POINT! Waffle N Sip did not dissappoint. And I had the advantage of watching the staff make the strawberry waffle and I was so delighted! Such dedication and effort you can SEE AND TASTE. We'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Super cute and small coffee shop! I got myself a refresher (I believe it was a blueberry passionfruit drink?) and it was really refreshing on that hot day. They had other drinks as well so I will definitely be back to try the others! Overall, very delicious and crisp!“

“I have tried bingsoo around the Bayside area and this place has the best bingsoo by far hands down. I don’t go anywhere else for bingsoo.

Ambiance: super cute! Be prepared to be transported to a little cafe you would think you’re in a city in Europe. Very Parisian. Cozy. Chic. Great place to catch up with a friend.

Baked goods are fresh and in-house made!“

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“

“First time there. The food was excellent. The popovers that they start you off with were amazing and an absolute treat! Our waiter Anthony was dynamic, professional and extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I already have a reservation to return in a couple of weeks.“

“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!“

“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“

“You can taste freshly baked walnut cookies at Cocohodo, and they are so delicious!! The atmosphere is cozy and cute, and the coffee is delicious!!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“I’ve passed by this cafe a few times, but today I decided to check it out. I had the Korean Street Toast and Iced Peach Green Tea - both delicious. Would definitely recommend getting. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Price was also great. I’ll definitely be coming back here.“

“Once you’ve been here you’ll keep coming back! Cupkins is unique because no limited availability like other kids gym but they still have cool toys and facilities you rarely get to entertain your little ones with. If you want to have a little girl time with your adult friends but have to take care of your baby at the same time there’s nothing better than Cupkins. How many times can you actually enjoy chatting with your close friends over a nice beverage in the long journey of childcare, in a well-maintained cozy indoors place? I’m sure all parents will fall in love with this fantastic baby cafe. Christine and Betty are kind, warm, and most welcoming people who truly care for not only the happiness of the children but also comfort and mental health of parents. One of the best qualities of Cupkins is how it’s always sparkling clean. How many times can you actually relax a bit playing with your children?(or you can also put it in different words such as serving your little invincible bosses) Thank you so much for what you’re doing Christine and Betty. We love Cupkins.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This establishment provided an exceptional experience. The premises were immaculate, aesthetically pleasing, and exuded a tranquil ambiance. I indulged in a caramel macchiato prepared with oat milk, accompanied by a delectable blueberry scone. Every aspect of the culinary offerings was truly delightful. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment.“

“good food options in a nice place“

“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.“

“Love this place. My kids can’t get enough. Amazing food and staff!“

“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.“

“Love this place excellent ice cream and macaroons“

“What a hidden gem! From the service to the cleanliness to the food = 10 out of 10! It’s a very friendly atmosphere, the owners are superb. It was my first time but it definitely will not be my last. I ordered a wrap at the recommendation of Susan‘s husband (whose name is escaping me currently) but he did not steer me wrong. The food came out quickly and it was very fresh. Love, love love this place!“

“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.“

“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.“

“A true gem in Bay Terrace!

Sobol at Bay Terrace has become my daily go-to spot for health-related food, especially smoothies. I can’t speak highly enough about this family-owned gem. Since taking over about 5 months ago, you can truly feel the passion and care they pour into every product and every interaction. The quality of their smoothies is consistently top-notch, with fresh ingredients that make every sip a treat.

Beyond the delicious offerings, what really stands out is the incredible service. The owners genuinely care about their customers, and you can sense the pride they take in their work. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and valued.

If you’re looking for a place that offers not only great smoothies but also heartwarming customer service, this is the spot. Highly recommended!

Dietary restrictions: SoBol has many options for those with dietary restrictions.

Parking: Plenty of space to park and another reason why I love this SoBol location.

Kid-friendliness: Casual atmosphere and what better than to feed your kids some delicious and healthy nutrients while taking a break or stroll at the Bay Terrace shopping center.“

“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.“

“Love it!!! Highly RECOMMEND!“

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

“It’s a nice little gem close to bell boulevard. The place doesn’t have a lot of seating options but the atmosphere and the beautiful decor make up for it. Food is a bit overpriced but the food is great and the staff are genuinely very nice and courteous.“

“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.“

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