50 Best Coffee Shops near West Hempstead

“What a lovely atmosphere! Between the velvet sofas and antique coffee tables, such a darling place to unwind and relax. The tiramisu was amazing! Highly recommend!“

“I can honestly say BrainFood Palace lives up to the hype. I received over 100 messages from people telling me I had to check this place out, and they weren’t lying. From the first sip, I knew why everyone was raving about it.

The smoothies are thick, creamy, and full of real fruit. No shortcuts, no watered-down flavor. They actually keep you full and energized, which is rare to find. The fresh juices are just as impressive: light, refreshing, and so clean-tasting that you know you’re getting the real deal.

Beyond the drinks, the vibe of the place makes it even better. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and you can tell they take pride in what they’re serving. It’s the type of spot where you feel good the moment you walk in, and even better when you leave with something fresh in hand.

I totally understand why so many people told me to try it. BrainFood Palace is easily a 5/5. A must-visit if you love smoothies, juices, or just want something healthy and delicious. OH LAWDD!“

“Great spot for a quick stop! I’ve been a regular here for years. The staff is always welcoming and the service is fast. Good food, fair prices, and always reliable. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and need a quick snack or coffee.“

“Used to love going out of my way to come to this dunkin because they USED to have my favorite flavor, the chocolate headlight. Unfortunately, this flavor was discontinued. Their donuts seemed fresher than other locations. I hope they bring the chocolate headlight back because this was the only location outside of Florida that had it. -1 star for this reason. No reason to go out of my way now. My waste is probably the only one happy about this.“

“"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."“

“I recently visited the McDonald's located in West Hempstead, across from Halls Pond Park, and had a fantastic experience. From the outstanding service to the friendly staff, my visit left a positive impression on me. One of the highlights of my visit was the wonderful chat I had with two standout employees, Virginia and Mike. They were not only attentive and efficient but also engaged in friendly conversation, making my dining experience even more enjoyable. Their dedication to providing great service was evident throughout my visit. While I hadn't tried a Big Mac in a long time, I decided to indulge in some of my favorite junk food before starting my upcoming diet and intense 75 Hard workout program. The Big Mac I ordered was prepared to perfection, reminding me of the classic taste that made it an iconic menu item. It was a delicious treat that satisfied my cravings. The McDonald's restaurant itself was clean, modern, and had a classy ambiance. The attention to cleanliness and the well-maintained environment further enhanced my dining experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, making it a comfortable place to enjoy my meal. Based on my visit to this McDonald's location, I would definitely recommend it to others. The exceptional service provided by Virginia and Mike, along with the tasty food and pleasant ambiance, contributed to a positive overall experience. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a place to enjoy some classic fast food favorites, this McDonald's in West Hempstead is a great choice. #McDonaldsWestHempstead“

“I love this place. I wish I could frequent it more often but i moved out of that part of the island.“

“Just have to give a quick shoutout to Hard Bean on Merrick Ave. Victor and his wife Elise opened 10 days ago just north of the train station. My fiancé and I were talking to the owners and learned that opening a coffee shop was Victor’s dream. After working at his previous career for almost 30 years, he retired and opened this place. It’s charming inside and the coffee is delicious and less expensive than *$s. They are literally a mom and pop shop and after spending some time there I wanted to post to support and recommend Hard Bean to all the locals.“

“​Annie’s Social is a gem! I had an incredible Americano here—smooth, high-quality, and perfectly brewed. What really makes this place stand out is the dedicated indoor dog room. It’s a game-changer to have a separate, clean space to hang out with your pup while enjoying top-tier coffee. Great vibes and even better service. Highly recommend!“

“Totally enjoyed everything about this place. Stopped in to take my little sister out for cheesecake, was nicely greeted and served. Cheesecake was amazing!! Chai tea also was wonderful. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“This cafe is fabulous! Delicious coffee and baked goods, friendly staff, everything you need! The owners are wonderful. I'm in here about five times per week, I love this place!“

“The chai at Motw Cafe is easily one of the best in Hicksville — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. If you’re a chai lover, this is definitely one to try. The owner is incredibly welcoming and attentive, and you can tell they genuinely care about every customer who walks through the door, which makes the experience even better.“

Maybe one of the cleanest looking restaurants I have ever scene.
Very nice ambiance.
Food was yum, we got truffle fries, penne aka vodka, the cauliflower, and mozzarella sticks, and pizza.
Got a salad that was ehh but they took it back no problem, really good service.
Bathroom was also very nice, fresh smelling…..

Shoutout to Juan who ran after us to give us our pizza in the freezing cold 📣📣“

“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“

“Debbie is the greatest Best place ever Best food!“

“Thank you for the most delicious bday cake on 4/13/25!“

“Amazing coffee made by an extremely friendly staff. A wide selection of drinks to chose for both caffeinated and without caffeine. They even have stuff for kids. The space is clean, well-lit and filled with creative merch, thematic decorations and comfortable spacious seating areas. Top tier place to unwind with a cup of ☕️.“

“This is one of those coffee shops I found myself going back to again and again. Their coffee selection is so good whether you’re in the mood for something classic or want to switch it up, they’ve got you covered.

The food is just as solid. Perfect options to pair with your drink. Definitely recommend giving them a try! ☕✨“

“The customer service in New York spine care is amazing! I swear I walked in the door and I was treated with such respect. Dr. Han and his staff make you feel at home. Dr Han is knowledgeable and well versed in medicines. He understands and cares. The establishment is immaculately kept. It is so clean. It is so fresh. The music is so Zen. I will be referring everybody here. Honestly they make pain, manageable. I spoke to Kathy on the phone and Kathy remembered that I was having a hard time scheduling because my son was sick. The next time I came, she actually asked about my son and offered me some insight into what I could do to help him through his sickness. I am beyond appreciative. This place is amazing. I’m grateful for them“

“I was there this morning and the girl working was awesome. We waited a little but that was fine. Donuts are always the best. Truly worth it. Sometimes small businesses struggle with staffing and it was evident they had a call out or something today with the holidays. Still love this place!!“

“This coffee drive up is one of my favorite local spots. It’s always clean, welcoming, and has such a friendly atmosphere that makes you want to stay and relax. The staff are kind and personable, and they also provide quick, efficient service, so you’re never waiting long for your drink. It’s the perfect place to grab something great and feel comfortable at the same time. Highly recommend!“

“It was a wonderful experience , considering it is my first time. We had to wait a few minutes to get our table for 4 but that’s okay! The employees were super nice and went out of their way to pull and extra table for us. I loved the authentic atmosphere. The lighting, decor, and the overall feeling of the restaurant was great! And amazing food. My family loved what we ordered and the matcha cheesecake for dessert was so good! Compliments to the chef! I could definitely see myself coming back here again, whether alone or with family or friends. Well done, Nippon Cha!“

“Absolutely a hidden gem! The meat is juicy and flavorful. Really hit the spot. It’s hard to believe we have authentic Mexican cuisine in east queens. But this place hits. We will definitely come back
