Southdown Coffee is a solid 4-star coffee shop with a great vibe…read more The drinks are very good, though a bit on the expensive side. Food, on the other hand, is reasonably priced. It's a great place to work or study, but it can get busy, so if you're looking for a very quiet place with only white noise, this may not be the best fit. What we tried: Unsweetened Green Tea Latte -- 4/5 Green Smoothie -- 4/5 Black Coffee -- 5/5 Breakfast Burrito -- 5/5 They also have a restroom and parking, which makes the visit much more convenient. Overall, a comfortable and lively coffee shop with strong drinks, solid food, and a great atmosphere.

What really stood out to me was the atmosphere. The space is clean, bright, cozy, and surprisingly peaceful. There are plenty of comfortable seating options, making it a great spot to bring your laptop and get some work done, read a book, or simply enjoy a quiet break from the day. The staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in, and everything felt well cared for and inviting. I found myself wanting to stay longer than I planned. If you're looking for a coffee shop with great drinks, a relaxing vibe, and a space where you can actually hear yourself think, this is it. I'll definitely be back. Elite Tip: Grab a drink, bring a good book, and settle in for a while. This place makes it easy to slow down and enjoy the moment.

Blueberry Matcha Latte -- 5/5. Fresh, clean, and reminded me of Hawaii. Avocado Toast -- 5/5. Healthy but still packed with flavor. The sautéed red onions really made it stand out. They also have a restroom, parking, and a great variety of food and pastries. Overall, one of the best coffee spots I've visited recently. Definitely coming back.

As you would expect, this spot is a bit on the smaller side with jars of tea lining the wall to the back. A smaller selection of accessories are placed in spots where they can fit. They also serve tea, but this time I only bought a small sampling of an Ice Wine black tea in loose leaf form. So far I've had it several times and love it more and more each time. The gentleman behind the counter was kind and answered all my questions and even steered me toward the tea I ended up purchasing. Cute spot in Port Jeff for sure! I hope this place stays around for a while.

I've had the veggie burger 3 times and tried the Southwestern wrap today in a spinach wrap. Chicken is in the wrap, as well as veggies. It was delicious and large, so bring your appetite with you. You won't go broke, because the prices are great! It's a comfortable, family oriented establishment and has lots of interesting rock and roll age memorabilia, and great old rock music playing. You can enjoy your meal at a table, counter, back deck or outside front tables. They have couches to relax on while you're eating as well. Makes you feel like you're in your living room. Everyone is super friendly and the food is great! I will continue going to the Tiger Lily on future Port Jeff excursions. You should try it!! You'll get hooked!

The Secret Garden Tea Shoppe is a venue I frequent at least once every season, which I highly…read morerecommend all to do. The owner decorates beautifully and meaningfully for each and every occasion. Whether it's fall, spring, summer, Valentine's Day, Holiday Season, or even once I was there the day of a royal wedding, you can guarantee that every little detail will be attended to. Located in the heart of Port Jefferson, a short walk from the large municipal lot and ferry, this tea shop is where you want to go. They offer full tea service, a royal tea (soup and sparkling cider added), individual ala carte sandwiches, and an array of desserts. I always get the tea service, which comes with a bottomless pot of tea. They have so many teas to choose from, including decaf and herbal versions. During the holidays, they update their tea list to reflect more seasonal teas. Service is always impeccable, the food is always fresh, and there is a consistency to this place that rivals many. I've had tea service at "those" expensive hotels in NYC, and I must say, Secret Garden tops it for me.

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 rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience because of the lack of…read morecommunication and professionalism. On August 3, I visited Dortoni Bakery with my wife and daughter to order a custom smash cake for my daughter's first birthday on August 6. I spoke with a blonde female associate, who told me the bakery would be able to have the cake ready in time. She also told me that someone would call me the following day to confirm the details. I never received that phone call. Instead, an email was sent at 8:58 a.m. requesting information that I had already provided in person the day before. I didn't see the email until later that evening, so I called the bakery to confirm the details. At that point, I was told they would not be able to make the cake after all because they require a minimum of four days' notice. Had I been told that on August 3, I would have simply made other arrangements. Instead, I was assured the order would be completed, only to learn a day later that it could not. As a result, I was left scrambling to find a smash cake with only one day before my daughter's first birthday. Mistakes happen, but clear and accurate communication is essential--especially when customers are planning important family milestones. This experience left me very disappointed, and unfortunately I cannot recommend this bakery based on how this situation was handled.
