“Fantastic time at this quaint little gem in Bayside.

When I arrived I waited for a friend outside and the most glorious aroma of freshly baked something filled the air. I could see through the window baked products coming out of the oven. Awesome!

I had a delicious organic jasmine tea. It was wonderful. You could taste the jasmine so strongly which I like. It was served table side. The sweetest china teapot and accompanying tea cups. Tea is always better in bone china. Just sayin’!

I chose a freshly baked banana muffin. It was still warm and sooo buttery with a crusty top. Perfect !

The atmosphere is a warm eclectic mix of nostalgic items, small bistro tables and books. You can spend an afternoon’s in here in this relaxing atmosphere.

A hidden secret… they have a large but quaint room upstairs from the cafe that can be rented for parties, high tea and meetings. You can even bring in your own food. I thought what a great idea for a girls tea time and get together.

It is a woman owned business and the owner does the baking. A labor or love and clearly talented. Both she and the staff were gracious and accommodating.

I will go back again and feel like I have found a secret quiet hideaway in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Bayside“

“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!“

“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“

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

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“Worth the trip for some yummy and unique gluten free food! I wish there were more locations, if this was closer to me I would be visiting here all the time. They are a small shop and were pretty busy when we went in on a Sunday afternoon, but the staff was super friendly and very accommodating. Hashbrowns and waffles were to die for 😍“

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

“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 !!“

“Stopped by around 7pm after seeing great reviews and it did not disappoint. I got an ube iced latte and an espresso tonic even though it was pricey around $16 but both were amazing and better than other nearby cafés. After finishing the two drinks I went back up for two more drinks and ordered two ice matcha seltzers and those were just as good.

Harvey the barista the only one working at that time when we came in did an awesome job he was super patient, gave great recommendations, provided great service, and you can definitely tell he really knows what he’s doing.

He mentioned he usually works Fridays and weekends, so I’d definitely recommend stopping by when he’s there and having him make your drinks.

I’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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“

“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. 🌿🤍“

“I'm in town visiting family and had the chance to check out a few local spots that came highly recommended. Blacksmiths Breads was one of the breakfast places on my list.. and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The coffee was spot-on and the croissant was perfectly soft, buttery, and fresh. Everything hit the mark. I’ll definitely be back, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch, quick breakfast spot. 10/10!“

“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 😊“

“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!“

“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.“

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.“

“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.“

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.“

“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“
