17 Best Cafes near Shelter Island

“The best coffee ☕️ 🍮☕️☕️Good“

“Cute little harbor side cafe/grab and go store. The bakery items are fresh and you can see the staff constantly putting out new things from the kitchen. It was a little chaotic in there, super busy, with tons of people waiting for their food, but the food came out quickly. You can grab your order and sit at the outdoor deck which was right on the harbor. The table and chairs are bare bones. You clean your own tables and there’s no service out there. The highlight was the peach tart tartin - which is huge and meant for 2 (or 3) and it was delicious flaky crust and the fruit was caramelized to perfection“

“The place is very convenient. I like the coffee and the ambiance is nice and relaxing and also the service was good. The staffs are very nice“

“While visiting Greenport, I stumbled upon this charming café and instantly fell in love. Their bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich paired with a cinnamon bun became my go-to breakfast combo, and the coffee? Absolutely amazing.. smooth, strong, and perfectly balanced.

But let’s talk about their croissants! I tried the ham and cheese croissant, and it was next-level. Topped with everything bagel seasoning, it was perfectly flaky on the outside and soft on the inside... a total game-changer. Do not miss this one; it’s seriously special.

The staff was warm and friendly, and the cozy decor made it feel so inviting. I noticed they had donuts, but they were sold out when I visited. (Apparently, they make a limited batch each day, so getting there early is key!) It’s one of those places that feels like a hidden treasure—hard to leave and even harder to forget. If you’re in Greenport, this café is a must-visit!“

“Easily the very best bagel I've ever eaten.. including those from NY City. Very cool place, a simple storefront with lots of breakfast ans lunch items offered. there is seating inside or out on the fromt porch. Very nice, friendly staff. A bit pricey, as is everything in thid town.“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Friendly, basic, old-school luncheonette. Prompt service, good prices, decent food. Bacon was not freshly cooked; home fries were very tasty. Omelette was good. Didn’t offer a refill on the coffee.

Kid-friendliness: Good place for kids. Sundaes and ice creams.“

“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.“

“We had an amazing dining experience at Minnow. The best oysters and the BEST local fish! The servers were very attentive and the Chef Ana (originally from Venezuela) came to our table to chat and she was just wonderful Highly recommend it! There was also a guy playing the guitar on the deck at sunset which was very pleasant! We are going to go back for sure : )“

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