50 Best Cafes near Mineola

“Food and service here is impeccable. Fresh ingredients, artisanal snacks, and healthy options! We stay at the hospital often and so happy with this healthy option in the neighborhood. The ambiance is super adorable too-- perfect place to catch up with friends.“

“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!“

“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.“

“As an instructor of multiple classes at Wowmoms World Long Island, my experiences have been positive in every aspect of the facility. The clients, the children, the staff, the franchise owner, the play space, the fitness area, the cafe....EVERYTHING, HAS BEEN A PLEASURE FOR ME. I am able to have my almost 2 year old daughter with me at all times and she feels comfortable, safe and at home whenever we are there. Whether we are teaching classes, taking classes, playing, or eating a nutritious lunch, it is always a welcoming feeling being a part of such a pleasant and positive nurturing environment. If you havent had a chance to visit, please find some time. It is definitely worth it.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! Also, the portion sizes are excellent given the consistently high quality of the food and the surprisingly low price that you pay for that quality. Oh, and the service was excellent too! All of our glasses were served chilled, and the staff were extremely attentive and responsive despite the language barrier between us (I wish I spoke better Spanish and Portuguese!)“

“The pizza is very tasty and super fresh. Food is always good there and the settings are so comfortable you should try Panera“

“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!“

“Totally enjoyed everything about this place. Stopped in to take my little sister out for cheesecake, was nicely greeted and served. Cheesecake was amazing!! Chai tea also was wonderful. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“Such a sweet spot. Staff is kind and attentive. They do not rush you. The decore reminds me of a curated antique store with Victorian inspiration. Very clean and calm. Purple yam latte was yummy.
Not really a study place. They don't have wifi and please don't bring laptops per the sign.“

“Went here for the first time, here are my thoughts:

Customer service: Great! Very welcoming and kind.

Food: The breakfast was AMAZING! I purchased the P.O.A.M and hazelnut latte with a beef stick. The presentation for everything was gorgeous! It tasted just as good as it looked.

Price: It was a bit on the pricey side but not to expensive. I spent roughly $40 for everything.

Parking: I went around 9am and there was plenty of free parking on the side street.

Atmosphere: I sat inside to eat and read a book. Very nice inside. Good amount of sunlight and cozy!

I HIGHLY recommend! I found this place while driving one day and no regrets.“

“Came to this place for their ube latte and it did not disappoint! Inside is pretty spacious. I went on a weekday morning and it was pretty quiet so perfect place to grab your computer and do some work. Their pastries are amazing as well! Great service, highly recommend“

“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“

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“Just had food from the food truck, delish!!! Ate inside then ordered dessert and coffee, amazing. Lovely staff, welcoming place.☘️🇮🇹☘️“

“I can not say enough positive things about this place. The girl was so friendly and helpful. I originally went to pickup a togoodtogo order and ended up placing a second order because everything just looked so good. Everything I got in the togoodtogo order was amazing and it was a nice variety it had a bag of goldfish as an extra treat which my kids enjoyed. There was even a handwritten note thanking me for my order which was so sweet and I felt appreciated. The bubble teas were fresh and flavorful and a great value for the price. I can't wait to go back to try more.“

“They’re food is outstanding! I would highly recommend them to all. Cakes are delicious and moist! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“Soulful Neighborhood Gem!
I feel truly blessed to have discovered Across Broadway Cafe. It is a rare find that manages to be both delicious and quaint, offering a cozy atmosphere that immediately feels like home.
The South American food here is the real deal—everything is incredibly fresh and delicious. They offer a great variety of authentic flavors, from perfectly cooked meals
to rich, bold coffee. You can tell everything is made with high-quality ingredients and a lot of heart.
What really sets this place apart, though, are the kind people. The staff treats you like family, and their genuine hospitality makes every visit special. If you want a fresh, authentic meal in a space that feels welcoming and warm, this is the spot!
I had only a small sample , would love to have more 😊“

“Some days you just want comfort without leaving home, and today Susan’s Kitchen was exactly what I needed. I ordered delivery, and they went above and beyond with every detail. The chocolate chip cookie with walnuts is the kind of treat that instantly lifts your mood, and the omelettes were perfectly prepared and so delicious. Their thoughtfulness really shines through, and I’m so grateful for the warmth they put into their food.“

“This mugwort latte has a gentle, earthy aroma that blends beautifully with the creamy milk.
It’s smoother than a matcha latte and not overly sweet, making it very easy to drink.
The flavor is subtle, comforting, and has a refined, almost herbal warmth without being too strong.

It’s especially nice on cold or tiring days —
there’s a calming, cozy feeling that stays with you after each sip.
If you enjoy nutty, soothing lattes with a clean finish, this is a great choice.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves comforting, aromatic drinks. 🌿🤍“

“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.“

“Amazing Food overall ! I had the berry blast smoothie which was a 10/10 & The tuna melt sandwhich which was also a 10/10. Ill definately be back to try more as im on a wellness journey & Quality/healthier options are my go to. Thanks so much for your service daily dose 🙏🏾❤️“

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

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

“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.“

“What an incredible place! I was in a pinch as I was planning on visiting my family for a few weeks in New York. My dates kept changing and the team went above and beyond to accommodate me and my evolving schedule. My daughter LOVED going to the camp. She came home with so many stories, they made food, craft and had fun! What a gem. We will be coming back when travel again to garden city“

“From the time you walk in and get greeted by Leonard, to the outstanding service given by Anthony, and the welcoming environment given by two other gentleman (I wish I knew their names, but one wears cool glasses and a gentleman with dreads) the experience is beyond five stars. We appreciate it every time we go there. The food is DELICIOSO!!!!!. I truly enjoyed the sampler and the refreshing fruit punch drink 🍹 The salmon is also Amazing. And I forgot about the truffle fries OMG YUM!!!! I definitely recommend coming here if you are looking to go to eat great food and receive Amazing service.“

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

“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.“

“We stayed at the JFK one night and enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the Paris Cafe the next morning. The French toast and the omelet we had were very good. We had attentive service from our waiter, Marco. The atmosphere and the views were outstanding. It was a memorable experience that we can hopefully repeat on the near future.“

“Todo recomendable, buena atención y exquisito todo!!!“

“I had such a great experience at SoBol thanks to one of the employees! The lady with the accent (I didn't quite catch her name) was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. You can tell they really care about the customers and bring a positive energy to the store. The service was quick, the food tasted fresh. I’ll be coming back! Lol“

“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.“

“It was wonderful to sit and talk with my company without having to raise my voice. They layout of the restaurant is great, warm and relaxing. Service and pace was on point. The menu has many options for all. My only reason not to give the experience a full 5⭐️is because the food was very good but not amazing.“

“Most amazing and delicious healthy foods & drinks 🙌🏻so many places to sit outside especially on an amazing day“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

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

“I was spending a few hours with friends I had not spent time with in person for several years. At one point, one in our party wanted coffee, so we decided to look around for a place for coffee, and found Cafe Nico's. The cappuccino was delicious, and I also had a flaky pastry filled with a vanilla custard sauce. Since the cafe is Italian, I cannot refer to it as a croissant. This is one of the few places that is cash only. I look forward to returning, the first chance I can.“

“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.“
