“I called the restaurant today on my daughter’s birthday (2/26/24) to ask for a table for 5 people including two children. I was told there’s not enough seating for everyone but they would gladly accommodate us at the event space next door. I agreed. My family arrived at around 6 and the two ladies took our order and Yvonne took a few minutes to prepare the table for us. When she led us into the room we were so delighted and astounded! The place was so beautifully decorated, and she managed it in a very short time! All the food was delicious! She made my daughter feel so special, she danced with the girls and helped cut the cake! I was very lucky and blessed to have been given this wonderful memory! It was such a pleasure to meet Yvonne, she is so sweet and has such a good heart! I will definitely be back again soon!Dietary restrictions: Totally Vegan and plant based menu.Kid-friendliness: Yvonne was so sweet with my girls.“
“My absolute favorite coffee shop!! I am in the hard bean at least twice a week and I have had nothing but great experiences! The coffee is consistently good, and the food items are always fresh. The service is outstanding and the staff is always kind and attentive. I typically bring my laptop and stay for a while to get some work done, and this is a great place to do so. The WiFi is great and the atmosphere is always very calm. I love that when I go I am supporting a local family business that is hardworking and dedicated to what they do. I also got the punch card and my 8th coffee was free! Great touch for frequent flyers in the Merrick area. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some good coffee in Nassau county!“
“This smoothie shop is one of the best in area in terms of pricing, quality and staff. Every time you enter, you're greeted with positivity and I truly appreciate the ability to customize all of the ingredients in your order. Often times, it's hard to find smoothie places that can make drinks without the added sugar (either through juices or purees), but every drink I've had from here has always exceeded my expectations. You totally should check it out!“
“My job requires me to travel and I’m a huge fan of Tropical Smoothie. The Hicksville location has far and away the friendliest staff. The restaurant is clean. The staff are attentive and professional. I go out of my way to eat at this location because of this. Hope this location stays around for a loooong time!!!“
“Has its own entrance and Manu, but is connected indoors to the neighboring ramen shop. Extensive menu that includes hot food appetizers. Has the typical toppings and requisite menu options for your standard bubble tea shop and good flavors.“
“The Aloha Bowl is fantastic!!! My husband had the chicken teriyaki and we we're both extremely happy with the portions as we Love this place! We'll be back again and again. Thank you Poke waitress Casey, you suggested the best bubble tea ever!!!“
“I enjoyed the natural juices which includes the Sweet Greens which consists of fresh vegetables and fruits. The Strawberry Sunset is also another one of my fav. along with the Grind & Shine for a quick picker upper in the morning. Sandwich- healthy toast of turkey with kale & other veggies.“
“My go to place for bubble tea. Cute little boba shop with wonderful and kind staff. Very inviting store with tables and chairs to chill with friends or to just wind down for a bit. The paw-like waffles with custard are so delicious, fluffy and cute. Can't wait to try different types of drinks.“
“This is our new " go to" restaurant in Glen Cove. The decor is playful and inviting. The wait staff efficient and friendly. And the food absolutely wonderful. Every time we return we order something different. Especially loved the Shrimp Domburi and Chicken Shoyu Ramen. You could honestly have a meal eating just the appetizers. Don't forget their rewards program! I was able to get $6 off our dinner order. BOGO wine is a plus.Check this place out, you won't be disappointed!“
“The pina colada smoothy was great, did not care for the jerk chicken asian crunch salad that much. Also tried the shrimp burger, that was good. Enjoyed the music while waiting and food prices were not bad.Parking: Depends on the day, otherwise it should be fine.“
“Good coffee nice selection, friendly people. Nice to hang out. Parking can be a challenge if there's an event going on nearby but it's always good. Coffee snacks can be uneven but atmospheres is always pleasant. Great meeting place.“
“Food is so yummy and nourishing. We had delivery and it came exactly as ordered and a few minutes earlier than expected. Driver was very pleasant. Hardest thing is picking which item to order! Muffins, acai bowls, salads, drinks. Everything was so good and so happy we ordered today.Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options and non dairy“
“After ordering the stores internet went down and I didn’t have cash to pay. We tried doing an online order so I could pay for my food but that didn’t work either. I guess their internet was down. To my surprise, The worker was kind enough to give me the food without charge!! I’ve ordered food from here before, which is excellent and will continue to do so because of their generous hospitality. I will also pay it forward next time I’m at this restaurant!“
“Made to order and all the ingredients used are fresh. Reminds me of eating delicious açaí bowls at grappling competitions. Highly recommend if folks are also looking for other healthy bowl alternatives.Staff is very friendly as well, clean store and calm vibes ?“
Ice Cream Shop • $
“I recently visited Lucky Penguin for the first time and had the pleasure of trying their matcha crepe, while my friend opted for the Ferrero Rocher rolled ice cream. Let me tell you, the matcha crepe was a revelation - it's easily one of the best I've ever had. Special thanks to the young man working there who recommended it to me; he really knows his stuff! The customer service was outstanding as well; they even gave me extra sauce topping for free. Yum! Lucky Penguin is a must-visit for dessert lovers.“
“They have healthy vegan food which is rare in this neighborhood. On top of that the vegan food tastes identical like real meat. Highly recommend Citrus chicken made with vegan meat , Plant base delight with quinoa. Feel inside out healthy at this restaurant and look for their delivery service of my everyday meal.“
“This was my first time, I just so happened to be sitting in my car across the street. I decided to try it. I had tomato bisque and a byo bowl. The soup was the absolute best. I'm serious. I should have bought more. The bowl was so good. I ate every drop of everything. I also got the strawberry basil lemonade. I'd never had this combination before, but it was so good. Not too sweet, not too sour. Just right in the middle. It was refreshing. I will definitely be back again. My bowl had chicken. No fat on the grilled chicken. I hate the fat and gristle. It was perfect. Not dry. And the sauce, it was a perfect addition.“
“Love love love this place! Kevon Is extremely helpful and knowledgable. My wife and I walked a way with a lifetime of health eating and discipline advice and guidance. I would absolutely recommend this place. In addition the smoothies taste amazing.“
“I had stomach issues and visited Royal Way on a whim. Dr. Mary spoke to me and recommended some supplements and I am proud to say the issues are in the past. The staff is great, and Dr. Mary is very knowledgable. This is now my go to place for all natural remedies.“
“My family and I have been coming here from the day the doors opened. And the service and products have remained impeccable. Every time I go I’m greeted with a smile and most times they already know my order. The thing I love the most is actually everything! Keep up the great work. A forever customer ?“

“I had a great experience visiting this location today. I got the matcha milk tea with chia seeds and boba. They were able to accommodate my food allergy. I can't have dairy so they were able to offer oat milk with my milk tea!Thank you!“
“Shaggy was very accommodating to my needs being that I'm disabled, he & his staff are top tier on a customer service level.Definitely exceeded my expectations, he went above and beyond which is much appreciated.Much♥️ to everyone there, continued success to you!!“

“I love this place the food is always so flavorful and fresh but I have never been there in person. I always order through Uber eats and I’m never disappointed however when you try to contact them it goes straight to a message and that’s not good people have food allergies so you should either have a note option or a phone that works. I have food allergies and this is a concern for me Especially when I cannot speak to someone to ensure they’re not using certain things that could be harmful.“
“Recently catered a lunch ordered a food package and was extremely pleased with the choices - the combination of food offered matched so well. Everything was so fresh and tasty and so nicely presented and the place that the lunch was catered for absolutely loved everything. The fruit platter that was part of the package was so delicious too- fruit was super fresh. I highly recommend catering from Fuel Your Body. The staff is always so friendly.Vegetarian options: So many options it’s hard to add them all here. Well balanced meals for protein for vegan and vegetarian options.They always have new menu items which are well thought out. Great combinations.Dietary restrictions: So many options for anyone with dietary restrictions. Gluten free- dairy free- vegan- etc“
“15/10 would recommend! I ordered the red bean milk tea with boba and passionfruit tea and both were exceptionally delicious (and this is coming from someone who frequents NYC boba spots). Price point is around the same or lower than chain stores. The interior is very simple, modern looking, and clean. Owners were very friendly and nice to chat with. Come support your local businesses and show them some love! I will be back soon!!“
“Came here the night before Christmas Eve because the East Meadow one had closed early. The two people working were lovely and made honestly one of the best bowls I’ve ever had! The blend was great and there were plenty of toppings! Very happy with my experience.“
“Small, cute little spot with an impressive selection of smoothies, as well as teas and power bowls. The server that my bro and I met, Crystal, was super friendly and welcoming.We ordered different smoothies for ourselves, our parents, and my fiancé: Oreo; plain vanilla (not on the menu, so this was a special request); s'mores; mocha frappe. All so delicious...and healthy! What was interesting to learn is that none of the smoothies are made with milk, only water and the protein powder!The consistency of the smoothies was perfect: not very thick, not watery. Crystal told us that they are meant to be meal replacements and should therefore keep one full for 2-3 hours. That was definitely the case with me - got our smoothies early afternoon, and I personally did not get my appetite back until dinner time!I enjoyed my smoothie, but I came here with the intention of getting a protein power bowl (had been craving one from the night before). So it was a bit disappointing to learn the bowls were not available because they had been sold out.Great place for a healthy treat, but my advice would be to come earlier versus before closing time, so you have a wider selection available!“
“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.“
“I’ve worked in syosset for 11 years and this is my favorite place to go whether it’s for breakfast or lunch. I get texts all the time for discounts as well which makes me feel like a valued customer. Food is fresh delicious and made to order.Parking: Good amount of parking.“
“The acai is of premium quality. The service is good. Atmosphere is calm. I am a repeat customer and I travel quite a way to get there. If you are contemplating trying, it is worth it. Ohhh, and the waffle package taste better than other Sobols'. I am a witness.“
“The food is delicious. I got a combo plate of oxtails,Curry goat and j*** chicken side of mac and cheese and ordered my mama oxtail dinner the food is very good and they give you a lot for your money. I wish they had plantains and dumplings.“
“Will always be the best bubble tea spot, ever. Mr Wish's fruit teas are VERY fresh and made with real fruit. I don't normally get fruit teas b/c of how synthetic they taste, but the mango green tea + strawberry green tea are both amazing. The aloe here is something I've never tried previously, and it is like a crunchy, satisfying jelly texture. Service is speedy, efficient, and they know what they are doing! Ambiance is quiet, low-key, and chill. I see this more as a to-go spot.“
“Love love love this store and I only been here 2x… the owner harry and the employee Brandon are so helpful with everything .. too much to write but he’s excellent and sooo many people came in to get their daily doses of vitamins and drinks.. he’s really good“
“I've been to this location a few times now. I must say, this is now a fave spot that I can enjoy anytime of the day or week.Food:I can speak for the sandwiches, they are unique and constructed with fresh tasty ingredients (that result in a delicious flavor that you will crave in the future).I highly recommend the Mamma Mia Pizza Bagel:Chicken cutlet,melted mozzarella, roasted peppers, baby spinach, pesto mayo on a pizza bagelAND also the Angry BLT:Crispy bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, chipotle aioli, everything seeds on a toasted bagel*Both come with a side*The coffee is delicious and fresh anytime of day, and they have so many drinks to choose from. I usually go with the Hal's or Fruit Punch Snapple.Can't wait to try the Pancakes or French toast, everything looks drool-worthy. Check their full menu out!Staff:They are very helpful, and make great sandwiches. They also keep the shop very clean too (someone is always cleaning or restocking something).Inside:There's plenty of seating, a restroom, and a decent sized parking lot (not too large, but perfect for their location).“
“Excellent. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. They have the best selection of loose herbs and health foods. The food in their kitchen in the back always has fresh, delicious selections. They practically always have what I need, or a comparable alternative. Their prices are reasonable.“
“Ordi!!!!! this young lady does her job to the most professional level in my opinion. The cleanliness and order of the shop to the quality of the patties. Her attention to detail is amazing. It is always a pleasure to come in rich and health, and not only get quality food the quality service to thank you so much too. Ordi you are appreciated and I hope this information gets back to you. I see you one day being a successful business owner. please keep up the good work!“
Ice Cream Shop • $$
“The best selection of Italian-style ices. Not your typical supermarket or pizza place Italian ice. High quality product at fairly steep prices. Still, the best place to get ices in the area. There are better places for ices in Queens and Brooklyn, but this is the best place I’ve found on Long Island.“
“THIS PLACE NOT ONLY KEPT ME FROM THE PACEMAKER , ROSEMARY AND THE PERSONAL ONE ON ONE I HAD WITH THEIR HOLISTIC DR. , GOT ME OF HBP PILLS AND ARYTHMIA… WE DO SOMTIMES FALL SHORT OF OUR GOALS… WERE HUMAN… BUT THIS PLACE IS THE ONE PLACE TO GET YOU BACK ON TRACKIF YOUR NOT A FAN OF THE TRIPPLE HARD DETOX JUICE...

“Three of my coworkers and I stopped at this place for smoothies. I'm the only one who enjoyed my drink. I got the booster juice and it was exactly what I wanted it to be. The guy at the front desk was nice / a little weird. The person who got the green goddess said the only thing he could taste was the kale, it was lacking in everything else. The person who got the protein shake said it tasted different from when she had it the day prior and it was better the day before. The person who got the guava ladda said it was just okay I wouldn't mind giving them another chance and maybe trying some of the food options“
“Woah, I've lived in RVC for basically my entire life and I somehow did not know that this place existed. Such a cute and clean place and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the best frozen yogurt that I've ever had. The woman who helped me I assume was the owner and she was extremely friendly and helpful. They just got a new regular customer!“
“Cute cozy spot for brunch with a couple of tables inside and outside! Remember to bring cash, as it's cash only! Both sweet and savory menu options sound sooo good with many sandwich/wrap options and of course, pancakes! We really enjoyed the Blue Belly which were light, fluffy pancakes with blueberry compote. The farmers plate was also great, especially the home fries!“
“It’s a decent healthy spot where you can get burritos, wraps, burgers, smoothies, and bowls. I had the salmon with stir fry vegetables and basmati rice, but it had a lot of sauce, which wasn’t mentioned on the menu and a bit spicy which is not what I usually go for - I will say it was flavorful though. There’s some indoor and outdoor seating.Kid-friendliness: Went with my kids, it’s family/kid-friendly. No separate menu for them however. But I share my meals with them, so either way it works.“
“I were looking for Kung Hu Tea this area.One day, when I'm thirsty or a little hungry, I go to a Kungfu cafe and have tea. A place to meet close friends and a must-try tea house in this area. The staff was kind and friendly, so the tea tasted better than other places. I hope "Lynbrook kung hu tea shop" develops further.“
“I went to SoBol for the first time and tried their Green Bowl. It comes with regular granola with Mango, Strawberry and Blueberry topping. It's around $12 and the amount was pretty good. Their green base tastes healthy and I could taste the kale which I liked about. I would love to try other flavor as well. They also have a reward and you get $3 off when you collect 100 points!“
