17 Best Cafes near Shelter Island

“This beautiful spot is THE culinary highlight of Shelter Island. From breakfast burritos to burgers, to coffee and smoothies, this place can do it all and do it well. They are beyond welcoming and open to everyone that’s walks in. Since moving away I’ve missed their hospitality and food more than ever. So go in and have a try they are definitely worth it!!“

“Food was pretty good, simple but quite a few nice options for breakfast. Something for everyone. They roast La Colombe coffee, which we enjoyed!

Lots of bees outside on the dock area so we ate inside but felt the inside could be a little more elevated/cleaner given the concept and price point. Would be a great place to pick up some provisions if you’re staying in a house on the island!“

“I got something I didn't ask for with my order (I think I paid for it) we ate it anyway it was pretty good. The bagels could have been toasted alittle darker, I thought it wasn't toasted at all when I bit into it but then I saw a very feint light brown on the edge of the bagel so it must have been toasted just not enough for me. I'd still go here again, I'll just make sure everything is in order before leaving.“

“Cozy and delicious! Repeated customer many times.“

“This is the best coffee in town if you like espresso drinks, but the drip coffee is also great. Was here with a large group for the weekend, we all have different coffee preferences and tried other spots too and this place came out on top. They use Counter Culture coffee and a La Marzocco espresso machine. It doesn’t hurt that the place is also super cute and they have a great assortment of vintage records. The croissants are worth it, but the breakfast sandwiches take way too long.“

“We had the repast here for my Mother and I cannot say enough positive things about this place. Jaci took care of all the details and planned a beautiful lunch. Jaci was so accommodating and kind, the food was fantastic and the staff were attentive and very kind. It was so nice to have some of the burden lifted during such a difficult time. This is the place to go if you are looking for something special!“

“We spent our anniversary here and had a great experience. It’s a beautiful space with a gorgeous outside patio. Alejandro made sure to make us feel special and welcomed for the duration of our stay. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from anything you need and a 20 minute walk to 57 steps beach. We would definitely stay here again!“

“Todo es muy rico todo y buenísimo todo la atención 👍“

“Stopped here for breakfast. Got the regular egg sandwich on a croissant and a mini egg sandwich. Great selection of muffins, pastries, and coffee available. Food was really good, and was served with fruit. Small seating area for dining in. Prices are high, but that's to be expected in that area.“

“The first time I tried the pretzel croissant I became addicted! All of their croissants are amazing... Their coffee is awesome too! So glad it opened in Southold. Lately, they've been making the pretzel croissants into egg sandwich which I'm sure is delicious too, but I prefer to ask for it alone :) Whoever is making these croissants, thank you Chef!!!!“

“This is an amazing place. A little nondescript building with a gravel lot on Maple Lane in Bridgehampton, NY. It’s always busy. You’ll see workers, contractors, local folk, film directors and billionaires all in the same line to get some of the best coffee on earth. It’s a sight to behold.

They make the smoothest and tastiest Americano. My favorites to take home to grind are espresso and Bonacker. They bring in top notch pastries too on the morning. Get there early. They go quick.

When you’re there take a walk around and admire the artwork.

My favorite place.“

“Despite the unassuming appearance of the Rueben, it was probably one of the better ones I’ve had in recent years. It did not come with thousand island, so I requested extra on the side. It was flavorful, and the corn beef was tender. Even without the thousand island, it wasn’t a dry sandwich to begin with. I was pleasantly surprised.
We also ordered the Southold Burger which was insane. It was massive and messy, but it was a very good burger. A side of fries will run you up $5, but they’re solid. They needed extra salt but were hot and fresh.
Everything on the menu sounded fantastic, and I don’t think you can go wrong here. Definitely would stop by again.“

“best scrambled eggs around. Just overall favorite spot.. Outside seating charm“

“Thank you for catering our brunch of bagels, muffins and danish. Everything was delicious and all were raving about it. Thank you Susan and crew.“

“Everything on the menu is first-rate. We had a great time at Minnow at the Galley Ho. Andrea Tese has done a great job with the restaurant.“

“They have the best coffee! The deli is fresh and inviting! It’s such an awesome place to grab the most amazing food for a bite to eat or take in In a picnic basket to the beach!“
