“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 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!“
“I came here with my friends and I absolutely love this restaurant. Service is great, restaurant is clean, and most importantly, the food is just amazing. I will be coming back for more and will be bringing my family next. Thank you El Toro for the great experience!“
“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 have been coming here for months now, and the food always hits. There are plenty of varieties to chose from and no matter which one it is, it always tastes great. The only complaint I have through, is that the service is quite slow, and usually this isn't a problem, but at times it can be quite bothersome if I'm in a rush and it's taking too long. Otherwise, this place is great! The staff are very nice and the atmosphere is quite nostalgicParking: So many spaces.“
“Great smoothie, shake, acai bowl place! The menu has SO many options - everyone would be able to find something here. I have tried 2 shakes - the tropical fruit & peanut butter banana - both delicious! I would get the peanut butter banana one again in a heartbeat! Jorge was so kind to me at my first visit for City Life Nutrition and helped me sign up for the rewards program! I really like how it's a virtual card that you can add to your "Apple Wallet" rather than another app to download.The store is super cute as well! Would definitely go back!“
“I've been going here since they opened years ago. I've moved away but still get food from here almost every time I come back to visit (monthly). It's one of the few places that offers endless customizations so I can actually get vegan food on long Island! They even have soy protein!The staff is astonishingly helpful and kind. The last time I ordered, I switched out for soy protein but forgot to remove the bacon when I ordered from the app. They called me immediately before making my order to make sure I wanted bacon in there. Above and beyond my expectations for service.The smoothies are delicious, service is quick and fresh, and they have a ton of options (including plant based protein for smoothies).Always glad to see how well they're doing and that their quality never suffers.“
“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.“
“Totally recommend the A5 Pork Bun ($9) and the D1 Grilled Eel Don ($18). Pay with cash to save 10% off your bill. My friend is an unofficial Kiko Ramen Ambassador. The Staff made her a balloon birthday cake.Parking is in the back...or diagonally across the street in the Staples Parking car park. Better to trust the former than the latter (which has a 2 hour time limit).“
“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.“
“Went here for the first time last week and this place is top notch. They have everything here and the staff is really friendly. A young man named Vincent helped me and he was really knowledgeable about their products. He recommended the muscle sport protein powder for me and I have been loving it! Thank you Vincent I will definitely be back!“
“Cute little local coffee spot right across from the train station. They have a ton of options available when it comes to any kind of flavor you could want with your coffee, I opted for their drip with raspberry, which was absolutely delightful. If you don't do your drip right, there's no way you do anything else well, so this is a good sign for my return trip! They offer several teas and an assortment of baked goods to eat as well, if coffee isn't your thing. Staff was very friendly and service was quick to boot. There are a bunch of tables inside and out if you choose to stay awhile, but it is limited and the place seems to fill up pretty quick. Plenty of parking close by either on the street or in the municipal lots in back of the building.“
“i loved there make your own bowl amazing i love island poke its great but i tryed theres and it blew it out of water very impressed and to the people out there lady with bad comment next time if your so picky go to store and have them make it in front of u and check it right away and when u brought it back you where given new food thats a++++++ to me thankyou for your awesome food hats off“
“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!“
“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.“
“went there after the dentist a while ago, smoothie was great. guy inside was super nice. i told him to surprise me and he gave me the gummy bear one which was super delicious. can be a little pricey but what isnt these days anymore honestly? i would definitely go again on any given day. definitely recommended!!!“
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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Best Açaí bowl I’ve ever had! The açaí & granola tasted great, the fruit was sweet and very fresh. I was impressed with the variety of selections offered. We tried a waffle with cookie butter and it was excellent. Great selection of healthy and caffeinated drinks & juices. The nitro coffee was good choice. The staff was very friendly, helpful and fast. This is a 5⭐️ establishment and we will definitely be back.“
“Store was pretty clean.Service was pretty good there's a couple young kids in there but they were very respectful and it was helpful with the menu being that I haven't been there before. This location hasn't been open too long it's probably a year and a half that it has been open. I got the mango papaya smoothie that was pretty good. My sister had a strawberry lemon smoothie which was good as well. Prices are fair definitely will be back.“
“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’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.“
“Came here for lunch. They have multiple healthy options for a quick Grab n Go style meal. The juices are well thought out and balanced. The Forever Young is delicious. They have been apart of the local community for many many years. I’m enjoying the energy boost as I shop across the street.“
Ice Cream Shop • $$
“The best selection of Italian-style ices. Not your typical supermarket or pizza place Italian ice. High quality product at fairly steep prices. Still, the best place to get ices in the area. There are better places for ices in Queens and Brooklyn, but this is the best place I’ve found on Long Island.“
Bubble Tea • $$
“This location is AMAZING!!! The manager Lily is very kind and knowledgeable about the products. The staff are all so nice. You are always greeted with a smile! The place is clean. I highly recommend even if you go to another location to stop by and see the difference! You will be back!“
“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!!“
“So happy to see another organic place on Long Island! This place makes amazing pies! The Key Lime pie is incredible! The best thing is that all the ingredients are good for you!The owner uses ingredients such as cashews, dates, coconut oil, maple syrup and dates. All the pies are gluten free and paleo. You can also order a whole pie in advance. The owner is an absolute sweetheart and so helpful.“
“I was so excited to try Ralph's after I've heard such amazing things but especially after I heard about their new doughnado. I ordered the triple chocolate brownie doughnado with a chocolate and vanilla soft serve twist, and it was the best tasting food I've ever put in my mouth. It was the perfect combination of ice cream and cookie dough, and they offer enough flavors to satisfy anyone. Aside from the doughnado, they offer an enormous amount of creme ice flavors (this is not ice cream)...so many that it's almost stressful to choose (good problem to have)! Wish they would expand to MA!“
“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.“
“If you are a local in the area, you work nearby or you use the gym right across the hall from this place, I would highly recommend giving it a try!The juices, shakes and bowls here are really good if you are keen on maintaining a healthier diet. And to make things better, JP is a world class employee and always maintains a positive attitude, even when there is a never ending line throughout his workday! He communicates with his customers and tends to make those around him smile and appreciate both the food served and his hard work and good communication. I have also had nothing but good interactions with another previous employee: Viv! Both are/were stellar workers that made me want to return for more purchases just from their friendliness! And pair that good synergy with some good food items, and you have an absolutely outstanding setup!Fitrition - 10/10That man JP definitely deserves a raise for all that he does, as you will RARELY find a similar employee for his role at Fitrition!JP - 11/10“
“Great staff. It’s very interactive because there’s a white board anyone can right on and the tables have games like tic tac toe and connect four. It is really nice and I recommend going with friends. Also look out for deals. Never got something there and didnt like it. Everything there is a hit.Dietary restrictions: Offer nut free and dairy free and vegan options.Parking: It’s in a shopping center so tons of parking with many people going out and in.Kid-friendliness: Have lots of food portion sizes and games!“
“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“
“Wow! This place is fantastic. I had lunch with three of my friends. We all loved it. Food is exceptional. So many choices including vegan options. The place is super clean. Great vibe. Our server was attentive and really sweet. I will be coming back.“
“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).“
“I recently had the pleasure of trying Boba tea for the first time, and it was a truly wonderful experience. The tea was delicious, with a variety of flavors and sweet toppings to choose from. The restaurant itself was clean and inviting, and the service was excellent.One of the Boba tea flavors I tried was a classic milk tea with tapioca pearls. It was absolutely delicious, with a rich and creamy flavor that was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the tapioca pearls. The other flavors I tried were just as good, with a wide range of fruity and floral options that were all incredibly tasty.The restaurant was also a pleasure to visit. It was clean and well-maintained, with comfortable seating and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they were happy to make recommendations and answer any questions I had about the different teas and toppings.Overall, I would highly recommend this Boba tea restaurant to anyone who loves tea or is looking for a delicious and refreshing treat. The tea was excellent, the restaurant was lovely, and the service was top-notch. I will definitely be going back again soon.“
“So grateful for O.K Woodbury, Rochel and her team. They are always so friendly and helpful. I stop in at least once a week for dinner for my family. It is so nice to have a place I can go during the week when things get busy without jeopardizing the quality or health of the meal. This is something I can pick up and feel good about giving to my children.“
“I love been looking for a fresh and natural juice spot close to home and I found this great spot in my neighborhood and I'm so glad I did. It always feels good to support Black-Owned businesses and this is one natural and organic juice spot worrh supporting. They have all the natural and fresh juices and smoothies freshly prepared for all your health and detox needs and it tastes absolutely delicious.“
“Lots of options if you’re trying to get good food with people who have different dietary restrictions. Breakfast was great and love the Grateful Dead theme! Also dog friendly!Dietary restrictions: Has gluten and dairy free options, as well as vegetarian 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!“
“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.“
“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 :)“
“This is one of my go-to spots for smoothies or a fresh juice when I'm not able to make my own. Was a bit skeptical to try "Raw & Fit" but it turned out to be a nice surprise for my picky taste buds. Have also enjoyed a few salads and soup. Great location!“
“(Translated by Google) I love everything they sell there, the people who serve have been kind, the place is spacious, clean and well organized, I have also visited Dulce Mania I and they have also been very kind.(Original)Me encanta todo lo que venden ahí, las personas que atienden han sido amables, el lugar es amplio, limpio y bien organizado, también he visitado Dulce Mania I y de igual manera han sido muy amables.“
“Our family is so happy to have a SoBol even closer to us now! Our favorites are still the classic açaí and green açaí bowls. I appreciate being able to customize my order on the app and whenever there is an issue (which doesn’t happen often) they are happy to remedy the situation to ensure we are happy with our order. The açaí bowls are a great light lunch/snack while on the go and tide us over. We also love grabbing them for breakfast on weekdays.“
“It’s a cute little corner store for a quick grab-drink, but the prices seem too much for the quantity and taste. I tried Pitaya Plus smoothie small sized, but still it costed $11 with taxes. I wasn’t expecting the cost of a meal for one small smoothie. The taste was natural and not sugary, which is good!The shop is spacious and could do with some seating arrangement for the customers. Also, they don’t have a restroom for customers! ?“
“I’ve ordered lunch here for a client and she loves the açaí bowls! I’ve had the waffle which was soft and fluffy. Wish they carried a coconut free granola (for the allergy friends). Add the cookie butter topping (if you haven’t tried it already) I’m hooked!“
