Honestly turned around and walked away before entering this place once we saw the trump stuff on the windows. Weird way for a business to lose customers before even getting them read more

The best gelato's and cappuccinos on Long Island. Old-school Italian atmosphere that is very inviting. The service is fantastic and it is a great place to unwind from the outside world. read more

Great coffee. Also have a nice choice of gelato flavors. Excellent canollis. Also, biscotti, anisette cookies and a few others. Indoor and outdoor tables. Local coffee shop, a great choice for coffee after dinner at Saverio's read more

Just moved to the neighborhood. My son went here for his morning coffee. Oh by the way he's Italian. He stood and waited to place the order but no one would get up from a table. He then said, a man decided after a while to get up and service my son. My son realized that the man was annoyed and made many comments while making his coffee in Italian. A woman came out of the back and seems to confront his Italian remarks. My son paid $5 and threw in the trash. Went to Starbucks. This place lost all my Italian families that visit. read more

I expected something completely different and walked away disappointed. At 8:30 PM the place reeked of disinfectant, which curbed my appetite. The woman working the counter treated the two of us like we were an annoyance. We had coffee and a gelato, which were okay, but not worth the $17 it cost. Sat outside and I saw ashtrays on the tables. Yes, it is outdoors, but people are going to be out here eating and have to contend with the horrible smell of smoke. read more

The coffee is really good. Service was good. It was to early and the weather was terrible to so I didn't pay attention to the ambiance.

Such a cute little cafe. The woman behind the counter was so sweet (I forgot to ask for her name). The drinks were really good too! I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're looking for coffee or dessert OR want to feel like you are in a small town cafe in Italy. Definitely coming back! read more

Like to stop in for coffee and a pastry either to kill time or after dinner nice people always a pleasure to come to this place God bless

Visit Date: 12/28/2019 Hubs and I came here with some friends to celebrate another friend's birthday. We had a great time. The atmosphere was friendly and a little homey. I had a cappuccino by Angela, who is regularly behind the counter serving up espressos, cappuccinos and different desserts. She made an amazing cappuccino, I loved it. Hubs had gelato, we got gelato for our son but he didn't want to eat it, later he asked us for the "big Sundae" which was 3 year old speak for that champagne glass of cake, pudding and whipped cream lol. He ate half the "big Sundae" and seemed to like the whipped cream part the best. Since My place closed down if your'e in this area and looking for a good espresso beverage I'd recommend coming to Cafe Gondola. read more

Just regular plain iced coffee is $6. Wow.... Taste? Don't need to ask. Plz visit Starbucks. read more

Cafe Gondola - a hand holding a cup of coffee - Cafes Near Me - Massapequa, New York

If you're after great quality espresso in Massapequa, this is THE place. No frills little cafe, smells strongly of smoke, older Italian men hanging out, TV in the corner. They were showing the Eurocup Final while I was there. Gelato on offer as well, and soft drinks in the fridge. Don't expect an almond milk latte, or caramel mocha with whipped cream- you'll have to go to one of the big chains for that sort of stuff. What they do here, they do very well! read more

I almost wish I never walked into this place. Their Gelato is dangerously good. Nice people too.

Had an espresso there almost nightly. Love sitting outside in my old home town. Had many friends that lived very close. Same block as my fave pizza place which is now closed. Mom used to shop at italian pork store a block away. Mostly older italian guys that live in massapequa. Great meeting spot. They were nice and patient with my wife's limited english and even have some bi lingual workers. They also have gelato. Great slice of massapequa. read more

Amazing service and awesome homemade gelato! The main flavors (chocolate and pistachio) really stood out. Perfectly balanced with right amount sweetness, creaminess and texture. The mango flavor was also yummy. Have to come back and try the others. read more

It's not even about the espresso, it's the atmosphere. The coffee is good but the italian guys arguing over respect, italian football (the real football) and who didnt say hi to who transformed me back to Italia. Little cafe on the corner where the old guys meet for decent espresso and the match. Put a smile on my face the whole time I was there. I'll be back read more

I just stopped here for coffee after eating at the brick oven pizza place down the block. There's usually a group of older Italian gents sitting in front of the place but don't let them deter you from stopping in to have coffee or dessert. I am picky when it comes to coffee but the coffee they served me was made fresh and was delicious!! I didn't get to try there other items but they have great coffee. read more

A little disappointed with the coffee at this place. Not sure if it was an off day but we ordered 2 iced coffees, one with milk and one black. They were so strong we could not even drink them. Tasted like the entire cup was espresso. We even added more of our own milk and nothing helped. Had to throw them away :/ there's $10 ill never see again! read more

Pure Brooklyn, old style from the neighborhood Brooklyn, President street Brooklyn, Court street Brooklyn, Bay Ridge Brooklyn with a little Howard Beach on the side. If you know what I am talking about you will love this place, if you don't know what I'm talking about you should probably stay away. If you decide to come anyway to get the homemade pastery and gelato and espresso done right remember one word. Respect, show it to get it, leave your attitude at the door. read more

Stopped in during the North Massapequa festival to ask for a glass of water for my 88 year mom who was feeling faint and was told to go buy water at the station they had set outside, really? read more

Amazing gelato but EXPENSIVE! $9.00 for a medium cup of gelato? C'mon, I think it's pretty pricey. You walk in and you feel like you're in Italy; the tablecloths, decor etc. I always see the same group of men sitting outside smoking cigars. The owner reminds me of my grandfather; I guess you can you say I get a family feel for the place. The only problem I had was that they shouldn't put a guy who only speaks Italian at the front. He had no idea what I wanted. Lower your prices! read more

Wonderful cafe. Highly recommend the cappuccino and cannolis though my wife enjoyed the espresso too. Ask for Angela to make it, she's the best!! read more

The cappuccino and the ice cream is the best! The staff is friendly and service is excellent.

Yeah boy....I'm the first. Great coffee and the best gelato in LI. They open late...officially midnight but have seen them open later.

Where do I start about this place. By far the best gelato in NY. Truly an authentic Italian atmosphere! The staff (just like in Italy) make you feel like you're at Home. That is what makes Cafe Gondola so amazing and different! It allows families to come in and enjoy outstanding treats while having a warm home like feeling. I love going here with my family! Especially my baby sisters! They can't resist the gelato (even in the winter)!!!! read more
