“I used to get coffee beans (while also picking up a cold brew) for pour overs at home. After moving to another state and struggling to find a good source of beans, I find myself reminiscing about this cafe. This nostalgia compelled me to leave a review as they deserve it. Don’t take this cafe for granted, like I did ?.“

Baked goods are fresh and in-house made!“

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“What a wonderful cafe that has it all: great food, great service, reasonable prices, and a surprisingly attractive view from a gigantic window overlooking the mall. Our server, Anthony, was attentive and made great recommendations. Our crab cake was so tasty and came with a nice salad. The sandwiches were large and delicious and I'm looking forward to going back for the peach cobbler.“

“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.“

“I stumbled upon this small but incredibly cute café, and I’m so glad I did! The star of the menu has to be the fire waffles and chicken crispy, savory, and perfectly paired with fluffy waffles that had the perfect touch of sweetness. It’s comfort food at its finest, and the portion sizes are just right. The hot chocolate? Out of this world just what you need to warm your soul. Service was fast and friendly, making the experience even better. If you’re looking for a cozy spot with fantastic food, you need to check this place out!“

“Oak & Orange is a hidden gem in Mineola and has been my go-to lunch spot on Long Island for months. Their innovative menu combines global flavors with simple, healthy classics. It’s a modern twist on sandwiches, bowls, and salads. My favorites are the Mediterranean salad (the marinated chicken is incredible!), the spicy turkey sandwich (packed with flavor thanks to their house-made chipotle aioli), and the Japanese egg sando. Don’t miss their pantry items either—great finds from around the world. And the staff are always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area—you won’t be disappointed!“

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

“Great food! The Octoberfest Menu is great! Our waitress was not as attentive, this is not the norm for Small Batch! My husband and love this restaurant because the food is always consistently satisfying. We done here often and definitely will be back...new staff members should be aware that returning customers are expecting the same quality of serviced that is synonymous with Small Batch. I highly recommend Small Batch despite the hiccup during my last visit“

“They need A Carlson button. Put everything in it.“

“I’ve passed by this cafe a few times, but today I decided to check it out. I had the Korean Street Toast and Iced Peach Green Tea - both delicious. Would definitely recommend getting. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Price was also great. I’ll definitely be coming back here.“

“Most amazing and delicious healthy foods & drinks 🙌🏻so many places to sit outside especially on an amazing day“

“What a great spot to eat. Delicious food and courteous staff. 👍“

“The food was good and the service was great. Lots of things in the small store. The everything store since 1986.
Candy, windshield wiper fluid, Tylenol, ice cream, soda, juice, fruits, croissants, chips, water, gum, newspapers, shampoo, toothpaste, toilet paper, batteries, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, etc.“

“Food is a bit pricey, however, the quality is totally worth it. The churrasco sandwich with those extra sauces they pack in every meal are AMAZING. On Sunday’s they include little extra breads with every order, which are freshly made and super delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough. Go try the empanadas as well! This place is very authentically Chilean.“

“We visited in May 2025. I would recommend this place. We had a long layover. A local told us about this place. We walked over here with all our luggage in tow. The restaurant is inside the TWA hotel. The hotel is cool in a retro way. We were able to store our luggage under the counter. There was no wait for a table. The wait staff was super friendly. The food was really good. The pizza and salmon sushi were my favorite. Even the salad was excellent. We spent a few hours eating and drinking. Watched a wedding take place in the lobby. It was a fun experience versus sitting in the terminal. There is also a plane in the back of the hotel that they turned into a bar.“

“Found reviews and a tiktok video of Susan's Kitchen. They called this place a hidden gem.

This place IS A HIDDEN GEM. Not only the food is delicious, everyone here was super friendly!

I ordered Turkey melt, TUNA MELT (!!!), Chicken Caesar wrap, Roast Beef wrap, grilled cheese, and Scrambled eggs for a small bday party. Everyone loved the food and many asked me where I ordered from.

Especially the Tuna melt. Which I ordered because Susan recommended it herself!
They also have amazing cookies!

Susan's Kitchen is located in an office building, made it a little hard to find, in my opinion. My husband and I were confused whether or not we were allowed to park in the parking lot of the building.

5 star for the food and amazing service.
Highly recommended. Definitely coming back.“

“I truly love this place! I always get my favorite smoothie (Cold Oats) and ask them to add chocolate syrup. They hook me up every time! The food is always fresh and well seasoned. No blandness over here! This is a great addition to this community. I hope this business thrives and grows! 💕“

“Good place to hang out for snacking. Crepes are nice not great, and so is their coffee. Come here for a pit stop but not as a destination. The decorations are cute and cozy but they tend to use the fan more than ac, so on hot days it can get quite warm with all the lights. This place is a self serve place, so you gotta pick up your food and clear it just like at McDonald's.“

“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“

“The everything bagel was covered in salt I couldn’t eat it , but the coffee was great and the barista was very attentive. Everyone seems positive with one another and work very well. The line was long but they know how to keep it moving. My coffee was delicious I had the special flavor Strawberry ( it was mixed with another flavor I forgot what) , can’t wait to go again!“

“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!“

“The store is so cute, and the service is the best I’ve had, I come here frequently and the staff is always so friendly and accommodating. I recommend getting nutella and peanut butter in your bowl, They make everything so good, specifically at this location. Definitely recommend coming here!!!“

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

“good food options in a nice place“

“Love this place excellent ice cream and macaroons“

“A delightful spot for coffee & brunch (or lunch!) amidst lush plants and potted flowers 🌿☕️🍳
The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and inviting. Although a bit on the pricier side, the quality of the environment, the specialty coffees, quality of food make it worthwhile.
My only suggestion is to offer real porcelain cups for those enjoying their coffee inside. Check out the photos I’m uploading to see the beautiful setting!“

“Best croissants around and great coffee! The staff is great as well!“

“our go-to for holidays, birthdays, and all celebrations. the rainbow cookies are a favorite, really everything they make is delicious.“

“I recently had the filet mignon tidbits. Absolutely the best I ever had. You have to try it.“

“A special place for special occasions ... never disappoints..... Frank, the manager will make sure of that! We had 4 different entrees last night and each of us agreed their meal was outstanding. Oscar i truly is a professional waiter . The live music was entertaining and just at the right sound level. Can't wait to go back.“

“Thank you, Nana's Westbury !!!“

“My family are big eaters and Ray’s Cafe gives you the largest portion of food for your money. Delicious very time. The workers and owner are professional and very friendly. I can’t wait to return.“

The vibes are calm and it’s just an overall great place with delicious sandwiches and smoothies. It’s certainly a gem here in New Ro“

“I visited Gran Caffe Gelateria with a few friends for a late-night dessert after dinner, and we were also looking for a good coffee spot. This place had great reviews, so we decided to check it out, especially since it stays open late.

The gelato selection was impressive, offering a variety of flavors at a great price point—definitely good value for the quality. The gelato itself was super creamy and delicious, better than many places I’ve tried before. I also appreciated that the portion sizes were generous.

As for the customer service, while the staff was polite, I felt the engagement could have been better. When asking about flavors and pricing, it was a bit of a one-sided conversation. Since it wasn’t too busy at the time, I would have preferred a little more interaction to make the experience feel more welcoming.

The coffee and espresso were also fantastic, with a surprisingly good value for the price. My friends and I were impressed with the flavor and quality.

One thing to keep in mind is parking—since it’s a corner shop, parking was limited, and we had to park about half a block away. If you're planning a visit, just be prepared for that.

Overall, this is a great spot for late-night gelato or coffee. The selection is not overwhelming, but what they do have is top-notch. Whether you're going solo, with friends, or even with kids, this is a solid choice for a sweet treat. I'll definitely consider coming back!“

“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.“

“"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."“

“One of the best place for coffee in New Rochelle ♥️“

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

“The restaurant is very unique and the food is very much outside the norm. I personally have enjoyed everything I've ordered. The service is great and very friendly, except for the Barista. I believe his name is Fernando and he's very rude and seems miserable every time I have to interact with him. He makes great coffee but is definitely suited for a job in the back of the house where he does not have to interact with customers.“

“Excellent cafe with tons of space, great drinks/food and friendly service. Sometimes they fall into the same trap as other cafes in Flushing though, and play the same few songs on repeat for hours. Last time I was here they played the same small 60’s playlist for 8hrs straight. No exaggeration. Get ready to hear “Build Me Up Buttercup” 25 times. So bring headphones if you plan on staying a while.

Heads up to management too, the bathroom here is consistently a mess. The garbage can foot lever is broken so apparently everyone is just throwing paper towels on the ground. A new garbage can would remedy this.“
