“Scott and staff have catered 3 parties for me and I do frequent the restaurant. They are all wonderful and the food is by far the best in the area if not all of Long Island. If you are looking for creative, delicious food you are in for a treat!“
“Intrigued by the signs in the windows exclaiming the benefits of kava, my friend and I strolled into the wonderful world of this non alcoholic bar. Being virgins to this root, we asked for guidance on what to order. This kava is supposed to have the relaxing, mellowing effects of say, Marijuana or even alcohol, but without the detriments that come with those. The young lady suggested a cold kava drink in a coconut cold mug with a slice of pineapple. There's a single, double or triple. She said it's suggested to start high and get the product built up in your system, then go down to single whilst in maintenence mode. We went with the double. We watched her spoon a large spoonful of what looked like, as another patron said, dirty water into our coconut cups! And garnished this dirty water with a pineapple. Bon Appétit! Well I have to say upon the first sip, I was waiting to be repulsed, but it actually didn't have much of a taste. As I got closer to the bottom of the cup, however, I got more flavor.. it was definitely a muddy, earthy flavor. I loved it I have to say. My friend was not a fan. Ha! I guess it's an acquired taste. The atmosphere was very chill. Seems an eclectic crowd. Young, old, parents, singles, white and.. well (us two) black! It was a cool decor. They have board games you can play. Seems a great place to chill alone with a book or laptop. It was dog friendly as well. I think if i lived here, I'd probably be a regular very quickly. Kudos!“
“Laura, our server, delivered exceptional service throughout our visit. Despite the crowd, she consistently checked on us, going above and beyond by even delivering a hot cup of coffee to go. The food was excellent, with a commendable variety of vegan options available. While I do miss the intimate ambiance of the village, the spacious and stunning environment of this newer location is truly noteworthy.Dietary restrictions: Vegan“
“The First Starbucks out of over 300 that I have been to. The Port Jefferson Village Starbucks holds a place in my heart. The reason is that when I visited it in the late 1990s or very early 2000s, it was the very first Starbucks that I had ever been to. This was before Starbucksmania. When my friend Andrew and I stepped inside this Starbucks, I was unaware that it was a major coffee chain. It was this past summer, that I returned to the Port Jefferson Starbucks after twenty years. How many Starbucks can I say that about. My family and I hung out here during the later moments of our time in Port Jefferson. If Port Jefferson was without a Starbucks, I doubt that they would build this one in 2023. Back in the late 1990s and 2000s, Starbucks executives had imagination. Their imaginative thoughts created Starbucks outlets that were unique, cozy, and the third place that created a unique Starbucks experience. This location is the antithesis of a Starbucks corporate culture that is striving to be a drive-thru brand that is slamming the hammer on unique locations centered around an environment that encourages hanging out. At the Port Jefferson Starbucks, in place of a drive thru, is a New England style streetscape. Walking along Main Street is the main access to the New England style building that looks nearly identical to when George Washington stepped foot on Long Islands North Shore. It plays a roll in the Port Jefferson experience where people like myself browse at the storefronts, engage in the Port Jefferson Harbor scenery, and take life at a leisure pace. Inside, I feel like I have been transported into a shop in an 1800s fishing village. The interior screams out seaside history and commerce. Regardless that this is a unique Starbucks, the drink is identical to the tall coffee with two Splendas that I have enjoyed in the Starbucks from Port Jefferson in the northeast to Fort Lauderdale in the Southeast and the original Starbucks in Seattle at the Northwest. So is the nearly $3 price. The Port Jefferson Starbucks had made such a first impression on me with the brand twenty years ago that I would go on to visit over 300 more. I hope that the Port Jefferson Starbucks is up for at least twenty more years instead of being replaced with a cookie cutter drive thru - emphasized location beyond pedestrian friendly Main Street, Port Jefferson.“
“The most enjoyable and educational experience ? I had a lovely conversation with the owner. He told me how he grew up on a tea farm in Turkey and all about the different teas, their steeping temperature s and their steeping times, how to bring out the different flavors and enjoy them more. He was absolutely wonderful and I will always go back for his teas. They are incredibly delicious and comforting. Thank you so much!!“
“This is one of my favorite breakfast spots! Food ranges from good to exceptional, but their pastries can be hit or miss. Drinks are consistently good in my opinion, my girlfriend is not a fan of their iced coffee which she thinks can be inconsistent. What keeps us coming back is the famous egg sandwich which is pickled to perfection and oh so yum! I don’t think they have enough tables and maybe would benefit from eliminating one or two of the benches to add 2-3 more tables…like a typical coffee house a lot of people seem to work from there and can linger for hours. Service is great. Parking can be tricky when it’s busy, there is a shared lot but it can fill up quickly.“
