Great coffee place. Tried their cold brew and blueberry scones and they were delicious. It has quite ambiance and good for study/work there.

Great place to grab a coffee, hang out, meet with friends. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It can get busy but the service is reasonably quick and the lattes and cappuccinos are consistently good. Better than Starbucks in my opinion

It’s been really disappointing to get coffee at Druthers recently. I have been a customer for a long time and I’ve always loved their coffee. The milk is at good temperature, nice frothing, good beans; I had no issues. A couple months back they hired a new barista and she wasn’t great at making espresso based drinks, such as cappuccinos. I thought they’d train her and she’d get better soon (this happened with some other new hires before) but no, she never improved in any way. Now every time I go there, first thing I check is whether it’s her shift and I avoid getting coffee if it is. And I’m not exaggerating, her cappuccino is this very hot milky drink with a thick layer of foam with huge bubbles and reminds me of cappuccinos I’d get from coffee machines. See the photo yourself. I honestly avoid going to Druthers now just because of this. If any of the other baristas read this, please train her!

Haven't been in a while. Coffee good as always. Tried the lemon blueberry scone and it was good. Usually don't get food at these places. Beats that other place hands down.

Writing this from a place of love. Have been a frequent customer since opening day & love the space. But I’m gonna need you guys to re-energize in 2025. After one or two bad experiences my visits became less frequent. Now each visit keeps getting worse and it breaks my heart! The death of the after dark hours was the first straw, but the seasonal menu repeating and the in store experience being only above average lately, I really do hope things turn around.
In my last visit this December, I ordered ahead for a breakfast burrito & peppermint mocha. Both items were prompt & fresh. Everything was enjoyable to have for breakfast, but severely lacked any flavor, espresso included. The kick is what makes this place unique would love to see more of it.
Looking forward to getting excited about Druthers again soon, but definitely hope it doesn’t follow suit with plenty of other LI coffee spots.

I’ve been going to Druthers for a while, but unfortunately, my experience keeps getting worse with each visit. Most recently, I ordered coffee, and it was bitter and unpleasant. I also tried the French toast, which tasted sour, and not in a way that seemed intentional—it was honestly hard to finish.
As for “The Druthers Egg Sandwich,” it felt overpriced for what it was—just a bagel with a small strip of egg and barely anything else. There’s nothing of substance to justify the price.
I really hope Druthers can improve because I used to enjoy coming here, but the quality has declined significantly.

Druthers Coffee is a true gem, even on a busy Saturday. I stopped in for a matcha, and despite the weekend rush, they whipped it up in minutes—complete with a beautiful design that added such a thoughtful touch. The barista handed it over with a warm smile, and that small gesture instantly brightened my day.
What’s even better? They didn’t hit me with an outrageous upcharge for oat milk, which feels rare these days. The entire experience was quick, kind, and high-quality—exactly what you want from your local coffee spot. I’ll definitely be back for more!

Bright and airy spot in Stony Brook! Lots of seating inside and out - including a large communal table inside. No outlets, so laptops beware. The food was delicious, as was the coffee. They only have Oat and Pistachio milk as Dairy alternatives. Get the Druthers Breakfast Sandwich - it was awesome. I want to try some of the teas next time I come!

Really quick with my drink and food. Wish they had more seating inside but honestly it wasn’t that big of a deal. The breakfast burrito was so good, had just the right amount of kick to wake you up and it’s super filling. The chocolate chip cookie was really good, filled with lots of chocolate and had that perfect edge crisp I love in chocolate chip cookies. Only real jab would be price but I did order quite a bit.
