“I have had the pleasure of dining at the Hidden Gem Cafe and having various meals catered by the Hidden Gem Cafe on numerous occasions. I can say that breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert are all super delicious. Breakfast sandwiches are delicious, and the French toast is amazing. The catering is on time, fresh, hot, and replete with every condiment, utensil, paper goods, etc. The pies are some of the best I have tasted. Thanks Amanda for caring for your customers so much that you pay attention to every detail for us.“

Everything is fresh, and homemade with Love by Scott, the owner. Thanks Scott, - can’t wait to return- You’ve definitely nailed it“

“Went there for a coffee and a little treat with a friend. The two ladies behind the counter were very nice and helpful when asked about recommendations. I got a mini chocolate croissant and an iced dirty horchata with oat milk. It was nice to sit there and read a book while enjoying my delicious drink. They also have a little area in the corner for kids and Ilove how family friendly the place is. I saw a lot of individuals and families come through the doors and all left smiling. I will definitely come again when I’m in the area.“

“I have lived in Seaford for about five years now and just found out about this place. A cute little hidden gem… I brought my two-year-old yesterday for the first time and she had the best time. It’s a very clean place and the staff could not be nicer. It’s less than a mile from our house so we will be back often. My daughter woke up today asking to go back to play… a really cute place. And they have a coffee station for the moms and a snack bar.“

“I'm in town visiting family and had the chance to check out a few local spots that came highly recommended. Blacksmiths Breads was one of the breakfast places on my list.. and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The coffee was spot-on and the croissant was perfectly soft, buttery, and fresh. Everything hit the mark. I’ll definitely be back, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch, quick breakfast spot. 10/10!“

“Mom and Sally are so nice. They have the best bubble tea that I’ve ever had. The melon is fantastic.“

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

“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!“

“It was the first time having lunch at NM and it didn't disappoint . The bread and chicken broth was delicious that they served before our lunch came out. They were kind enough to split our Caesar salad and cheeseburger . Very nice presentation and the burger was cooked med rare to perfection . I would definitely come back and our waiter was great Ty“

“Craving a classic Long Island breakfast? Look no further than Union Bagel Cafe in Lynbrook. This local gem lives up to its name, offering some of the best bagels around. From perfectly chewy everything bagels to sesame-seed crusted delights, they've got your base covered. But Union Bagel goes beyond the bread. Their sandwiches are piled high with fresh ingredients, making every bite a flavor explosion. Whether you're a bacon-egg-and-cheese traditionalist or drawn to something more adventurous, their menu caters to all tastes.

And of course, no bagel experience is complete without a steaming cup of coffee. Union Bagel doesn't disappoint here either. Their rich, hot coffee is the perfect companion to any bagel or breakfast sandwich.

So next time you're on Long Island and searching for a satisfying breakfast or lunch, skip the big chains and head to Union Bagel Cafe. You won't be disappointed.“

“Just found out about this place recently. It’s great! The open mic’s are so fun. Great cherry pie too!“

“Would highly recommend this place! Everything from the carefully curated menu and the unique products on the shelf, to the interior design and color palette giving relaxed yet elevated vibes, to even the fragrant hand sanitizer were exceptionally amazing. The staff was very sweet and helpful. And the food was delicious, while the portion size was plentiful.“

“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.“

“Ralphie's Crossroads Cafe is one of the favorite "go-to" lunch spots for our office. You can't go wrong no matter what you choose from the menu. Standard menu favorites as well as the daily specials are all outstanding! We've been coming here for years and I have yet to be served a bad meal. It's exciting when a new employee starts working with us and we take them to Ralphie's. Just watch them take their first bite! :) Keep up the great work guys! See you very soon! *Make sure you ask to be added to their daily specials email list!*“

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

“We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Food and service were delightful. I had the arugula salad and the cod on a bed of Brussel sprouts and cauliflower. My husband had the spiced apple salad - too spicy for me but he loved it -and the spare ribs. Very good selection of wines by the glass. Lots of Gluten Free appetizers and Entrees and delicious ice cream and sorbet.“

“We ordered a 5’ hero - half fried chicken cutlet with peppers and mozzarella and half with lettuce , tomato and cheese. We also ordered mild Buffalo wings. I have to tell you that the hero’s were delicious and the wings were some of the best I’ve had!! Christine was very sweet and responsive, and made the ordering process very easy. Thank you for making our Father’s Day delicious!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“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.“

“We worked the same event yesterday and I knew right away I would be visiting them for my lunch! So amazing and the ladies were super friendly! I tried the Taco, Bacon Mac & Cheese, Philly Cheesesteak, and Banana Nutella. I Hope to see them at another event soon so I can try the other flavors (I heard the spinach artichoke is a must have!)“

“I ordered a cappuccino at the Gran Café Gelateria and it was really really good. I paid $5 for a large . I did notice they also had Ferrero Rocher ice cream, which I asked the young ladies to try and it was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be returning to Lynbrook just to try for ice cream here! The service was also very friendly!“

“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.“

“Thank you, Nana's Westbury !!!“

“T3 nutrition is the place to go to get your health and wellness on. You have Val and Brandon who will guide you through a workout journey a weight loss journey and help you be the best person you can be. The shakes there are phenomenal!!! They have these delicious protein waffles you have to try them they are out of this world! And on top of that you can't beat the company that comes in everyone is so friendly everyone is so helpful everyone is so nurturing and caring I love going to this place and I will be here and work out with them as long as they'll let me!“

“Nice Breakfast & lunch menu to choose from. I had a Sandwich (daily special) it was fresh and delicious. Snacks & drinks are readily available. It was quick & easy with great prices to boot. Win win.“

“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.“

“Amazing ! You won’t be disappointed….“

“Peppy enjoyed the meal too!“

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

“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.“

“This is a wonderful social club experience for developmentally disabled adults. I don't know why the counties and cities aren't duplicating this model. It's a purely social experience - snacks, music, activities, holiday parties. The manager is one of the best human beings on the planet! We should be sending our social work and psych students to intern here and we should be creating club experiences in the same model all over.“

“Lauren and Felicia made my order and it was delicious! I had a problem with my doordash order (door dashes fault not Sobols) and Lauren and Felicia quickly resolved it and remade my order after my doordash driver dropped it and it exploded all over the bag. They’re super friendly and great hard workers. I’ll definitely be ordering from this location again :)“

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

“Admittedly most people come for the convenience when they work either in the building or next door but the food is actually pretty solid. I'm always nervous when a place has such a large menu but the options I've tried have always been good. I pretty consistently get the gyro on a wrap and it's a well-made wrap with good ingredients. Their soup and hot meal rotation is pretty good so those are always decent options. The same people have been working there the three years I've been going so that has to say something positively about the shop.“
