The owner was rude and dismissive when I asked for refund of the profit she made. I really really suggest you go somewhere else. The fact they treat your wedding day like just another day, no care, no love, nothing but disappointment, disrespect, and distain if they screw up and you'd like it to be corrected. Rolling Pin is awful in all aspects. DO NOT ORDER ANY CAKE FROM THEM!!!!!

Met a friend for coffee and live music at The Study. We decided to share the keto steak platter…read morewith eggs Sunny side up. The steak looked thin when it came out but was absolutely delicious and tender and plenty for a light lunch for two. The waitstaff brought us two plates and knives to split the meal. I later had a regular coffee which hit the spot. The ambiance here made me feel like I was a regular on a tv show - it's cozy and welcoming. If I lived closer I'd probably be here every day! The live guitar music was fantastic. It wasn't too loud so we could still hold a conversation. Lots of booth seating as well as tables. We showed up around 4 pm and it wasn't too crowded but it got crowded later. The bathroom decor made me laugh. #iykyk Definitely a must visit for lunch, an early dinner or coffee. I can't wait to visit again!

The Study is a very nice place with great food, good energy, and a pleasant vibe. The space is open…read morewith plenty of seating, servers are very nice, and it feels perfect for a quick date or girls' brunch -- but not really a spot for guys to hang out and eat a lot of food. I had the yogurt with blueberry filling, pineapple, and grapes -- it tasted exactly as it looks, clean and simple. The caffè latte used Paramount Coffee's "The Perfect" beans; the shot was dark and strong at first, but once mixed it became smooth with a slight bitterness. The chicken Caesar salad bun with onion rings had a simple, healthy flavor but the portion was a bit small. Banana foster was more like a dessert than coffee, with a strong cinnamon note -- the banana flavor was subtle due to caramelization. You can add espresso if you want. Downsides: despite the name, it's not a good place to study. A lot of people come to eat, talk, hang out, and play games, so it's not quiet. Price-wise, coffee and drinks are reasonably priced, and milk swaps or small customizations aren't heavily charged, but food portions feel small for the price. They have a restroom, are wheelchair friendly, and they mentioned they own a roaster nearby and plan to start roasting their own beans soon. Overall, a solid spot with good vibes -- just not for quiet studying.

The crepes were sooooo good and definitely worth coming back for. We tried both savory and sweet,…read moreand both versions were perfectly made and stuffed with high quality ingredients. The fruit was ripe, the cheese flavorful, and the crepes were soft while still holding up to the fillings. Thankfully we were the only customers at first, because everything took so long. The crepes came out at different times, and some in my party were halfway done before others got their orders. Also, the seating a decor may appeal to some, but not to me. Lastly, the idea of a rice pudding bar is awesome, but the pudding we tried (Tiramisu) was super sweet and a little soft. I like al dented rice pudding, so again, this may just be a preference issue.

I went in expecting a five star experience. My friend and I had brunch here previously and it was…read morefantastic. So ... we were on the waiting list for Schnitzels at 5 pm on a Sunday. They don't take reservations. After about 10 minutes my friend and I plus 3 teens (my kids and a friend) were starving and Schnitzels was loud and crowded. We headed a few doors down to Sweet Mama's. Seated immediately. My friend and I shared the steak with penne dinner special and a Cobb salad with grilled chicken. My daughter ordered penne with butter off the kids menu. My son got a turkey burger and his friend got a grilled chicken sandwich on a hero instead of a wrap. Now the good -- portions were huge! My son could barely fit his burger in his mouth and it also had a half avocado on it. They didn't skimp. Steak with penne was delicious and so was the Cobb salad. We all shared off each other's plates because everything looked so amazing. Now the bad. My daughter's pasta was elbows, not penne as indicated on the menu. Not a catastrophe but she was looking forward to penne. Then - my son's friend put some ketchup on his plate for his fries. It was ,.. not red but brown. The bottle had an 8/25 expiration. We are in April 2026. We told the server and she said it's because it's the "simply ketchup" with no artificial dyes. She offered him ketchup packets "with fake dyes" but by that point he lost his appetite for fries. We grabbed ketchup from another table, same brand, Heinz Simply. You can see the difference in color. We showed the server and she acted annoyed. I told her we didn't want anyone getting sick on that ketchup and pointed out the expiration date. She rolled her eyes and said "oh I'll just throw it away." She kind of had an attitude and didn't even apologize. So that's why 4 stars. We'd go back but request not to have that server. The food is fantastic but watch your ketchup! If someone put it on a burger it would have been ruined.

Not terrible, but also not memorable…read more Sweet Mama's is a hybrid concept tucked away in the adorable Stony Brook Village. On one end, ice cream. In the middle, restaurant, and towards the back, a bar. Surprisingly at 11am, for a table of four, we waited about 10 mins for a table. We ordered a variety of things, from soup, to bennys and a mimosa flight. The mimosa flight was very cute but mine ended up tasting just like white wine. The real disappointment imo was the Belgian Waffle. Now I know, part of this is my fault, for expecting more than what the description laid out. But for $12 I got one crispy and tender waffle with powdered sugar and that was it. No side of fruit, no home fries, nothing. Everyone else enjoyed their food, which I was happy about! And service was wonderful. But for $12 for one waffle, this place may be a biiiiiiit overpriced for my liking.

Inside is a tea party lover's dream: think florals, fine china and a hat bar for your elegant photos! The staff is super helpful and kind offering suggestions for the mammoth selection of teas they offer. My friend and I ordered an afternoon tea set that came with scones, sandwiches, desserts. And for $54 + sharing fee, it was good! The scones were hot and tender, there was a variety of nibbles my friend and I enjoyed, such as the chicken salad sandwich, the cream puff and a variety of fruit to keep it light. I'll be honest, I feel like there are other tea rooms that offer a greater and larger selection for the same price. So if you're looking around Long Island, there are better options out there. But, if you're locally in the area, I would give them a chance!
