“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!“

“My friends and I met for coffee at Simply Spinelli this morning and had a lovely experience. From the coffee to the parfaits to the treats, everything was fresh and delicious. The shop itself is clean, airy, and welcoming. The owner and the staff were patient and accommodating and even brought water to our table. We can’t wait to return!“

“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“

“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“

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“Very nice staff plus clean & fun facility for children & adults to enjoy!“

“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.“

“Found this little gem through Google as we took my mother in law to the hospital for her surgery. The place didn’t disappoint, we had French toast, avocado toast, and eggs with bacon and sausage. Everything was amazing and the owner who was also our server was super sweet and funny!! I would recommend this place to everyone !!“

“Honestly parking here is HORRIBLE because it’s located in a shopping center with a few other businesses/ restaurants so I would say best to park outside the lot. I ended up parking 2 blocks away which was far for this area. The cafe is small and can easily be missed. They’re a lot of seating and wasn’t busy so service was quick. They’re blueberry matcha was a special and when I received it I didn’t think I would like it as much since I’m not a fan of anything with pulp and the blueberry had pulp bits but you can tell it’s super fresh. After my first sip I can’t wait to go back for more because it was THAT good. Probably the best blueberry matcha I’ve ever had. I love places like this - little hole in the wall spots that just slap! Would recommend but it is far from me so I would have to make the 25 min drive (without traffic) just for this cafe. Wish the matcha was a little stronger so I would probably do double matcha next time but it did work well with the recipe for the drink. Would highly recommend giving this a try. I saw they have strawberry matcha too so maybe I’ll get both next time“

“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!“

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

“Ordered on DoorDash. Hungry man made correctly, fresh ingredients. Bagel with choc chip cream cheese. Also fresh. Good spread. Copious amounts of the cream cheese. Bagel fresh not to chewy. Overall decent experience. Now let's take it up a notch and sell spreads on DD by the 1/4 & 1/2 pounds!“

“OMG!! Absolutely delicious!!! This is my 10th time here and I am still impressed with the food and service. I had the Tuscany chicken melt- highly recommend and my sister had the Parmesan crusted chicken - phenomenal!! Our waiter Anthony- THE BEST! Attentive, polite and generous. Every time I visit NY- I look forward to coming here! I wish they would branch out to Florida. Compliments to the chef and staff- keep up the GREAT WORK!“

“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.“

“My sister loves this spot so had to check it out. Enjoyed their cara caramel latte and latte with vanilla malt syrup. Tons of pastries to choose from. Enjoyed their spinach feta as well as breakfast burrito. They sell merch and tons of other cute knickknacks. Plenty of space to sit and enjoy whatever you end up ordering. The coffee baristas were super nice. Will be back for more caffeine!! You can encounter long lines depending on what time you come in.“

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

“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“

“Had a fantastic meal in a comfortable and fun atmosphere and the staff were so helpful and attentive. Would highly recommend and wish we lived closer to go back often. Check them out!“

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

“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!“

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

“My first time here but have been following them for years. OMG, the real deal! I was in a rush so ordered two sandwiches and three pies for a pick-up, but saw that tire was stocked with authentic Italian products so want to come back and shop!“

“Such a cozy little spot to reset and recharge ✨ I stopped in today for a spinach croissant and a Pellegrino, and everything felt fresh and welcoming from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere was inviting and made it the perfect place to sit, catch up on some work, and enjoy a peaceful break before heading to my next destination.
The staff was kind, the pastries tasted fresh, and overall it was a really pleasant experience. I’d definitely recommend this café and will absolutely be returning. ☕🥐“

“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!)“

“We came across this little gem (that has been around for 13 years!) just today and this place single handedly just convinced us that we should move to this exact neighborhood haha!
We got two sandwiches, a pulled pork panini (basically a Cuban, yum!) and a chorizo with machego cheese and pear. They were both so delicious and I’ll be thinking about it for the next foreseeable days. Each sandwich order comes with chips but they’re not just any chips.. they’re TORRES chips! If you were to purchase these chips outside at the market, that itself is already $6 and the sandwiches are about $12-$16.. the value of this meal is HIGH! They use great quality cured meats and cheeses too.. I think we’re so used to being scammed in the city with the pricing we almost had a whiplash when they told us our total. LOL.
They also offer iced teas from any of the tea selections they have- very casually offering Harney & Sons.. I have no idea how she made the iced teas in less than two minutes but she did and it was perfect.
It seems like their specialty is charcuterie boards but they also offer frozen pasta and pints of icecream (they also serve icecream too, must go back for that), frozen food that’s ready to heat up and eat, unique jams, local pie and chocolates/ sweets.
This small business is family owned and operated- I believe the wonderful lady who helped us today was the owner and she was so sweet and welcoming.
We’re so excited to come back and try their other sandwiches and possibly order a charcuterie board for our next special occasion!“

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

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“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.“

“todo muy rico y muy buena atencion“

“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.“

“Awesome brunch🌸Also fantastic for dinner-the filet mignon and fish were amazing!!! Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff💕“

“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.“

“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.“

“Stellar coffee options and food choices. Wesley and Miranda were extremely nice and helpful. Vibes was super calm and serene, few people studying and enjoying their drinks. We got the ube coconut latte and polar express (maple) drink. The chicken and turkey sausage was actually halal. We had a chicken sandwich (which had very juicy chicken) and a brownie. 10/10, definitely recommend“

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

“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.“

“"During a busy day of showing homes in the West Hempstead area, I had the pleasure of stopping by Bagel Hero at 290 Hempstead Ave for a quick breakfast break.Opting for their steak, egg on a roll sandwich special with cheese, accompanied by a fresh coffee, I was immediately impressed by the delicious quality of their food.It's not just the flavors that make Bagel Hero stand out; it's the combination of their exceptional service, the warmth of their staff's customer service, and the overall ambience of the place that truly sets them apart.The atmosphere is soft, clean, and incredibly inviting, making it the perfect spot for a morning meal or a casual meet-up.Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend dropping in for a bite.Bagel Hero isn't just a fantastic bagel shop; it's a cornerstone of the neighborhood that offers a delightful dining experience."“

“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.“
