“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.“

“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!“

“This is so cute & cozy coffee shop! My friend brought me here since it’s her favorite place and now I know why. The owner is so friendly and welcoming so I felt warm-hearted.. Plus, you should try their panini.. it was so good also.. Everything was perfect and I highly recommend this place!“

“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.“

“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 ?.“

“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!“

“Great service and ambiance I had the avocado toast to die for and the coffee was amazing“

“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“

“Wide selection of delicious & well priced food and drinks in a cozy cafe atmosphere. Very friendly staff! Highly recommend“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Friendly staff and great cookies. Wish there were sandwiches, but that's just me being greedy. Their cookies were really great, especially heated up. The coffee could be better, maybe up the grams on each shot? They were bland the both times I was there. But I will return if just for their bakery!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“Bean House is easily one of the best cafes in this area. I hope they expand because whenever I am here, it’s always packed! The coffee is delicious, I think I’ve tried 6 different variations now and they’re all amazing. The ambiance is cozy and I love their baked goods in the front. Smoothies are also really good and their honey toast is a nice treat. Highly recommend“

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

“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!“

“Cupkindplaycafe is a small cosy please for baby and tottler to Play and explore different sensory activities.It's clean and comfy for parents to have a coffee and panini sandwich ? while kids Play. A little pricey $ 25.00dollar for 2 hours of Play.
Parents don't pay.

Kid-friendliness: It's a place for small children, I would think from 6 months to 4 years.
☕?“

“very good“

“Love it!!! Highly RECOMMEND!“

“Love this place excellent ice cream and macaroons“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Fabulous healthy food. Kind staff. Definitely a favorite 👍🏻“

“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.“

“Really nice people, great customer service. But I wish the pastries in the display case were priced so customers (like me) don’t need to be embarrassed when asking and so the cashier didn’t have to look up every item on the register. I thought the coffee was very bitter too, tbh.“

“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 wish I knew about this place sooner! There should be a sign advertising their presence, but it definitely is hidden away among the offices. This is a wonderful little diner/cafe. Our waiter was Susan's husband who was conversational, prompt, and attentive. The food came out quickly and it was delicious. The parking lot does say 30 min but we were in and out in that frame of time because of how efficient they were. I highly recommend Susan's Kitchen. High quality food and customer service.“

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

“Trivia on back patio 7:30 every Tuesday. Dinner, drinks, desert. What more do you want?“

“Very happy to have a health food restaurant in my neighborhood. I was pleasantly surprised with my detox drinks. I get my fair serving of fruits and vegetables in a drink every week. The place is very clean and the service is good. I recommend this business. Great service and healthy food.“

“Absolutely love the food and service at Elisa’s!! It is a must-go restaurant for the finest Italian food!!“
