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.

The food and drinks were excellent, and the prices felt very reasonable for the quality. We ordered: Yogurt -- 5/5. Fresh and delicious. Cold Brew Coffee -- 4/5. Very good and refreshing. 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.

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!

While I was looking over the deli options with my CERTIFIED service dog, the employee abruptly and very loudly asked - within earshot of other customers - what service my dog provides. While businesses are legally allowed to ask limited questions, I answered immediately and appropriately. For context, my service dog is fully trained, certified, and had just flown on a plane with me. He's also 105 lbs, so he's a big boy. Despite this, the employee continued to question me, spoke to me in a condescending manner, and went as far as saying she herself has a service dog for her "actual" disability - clearly implying that I was lying or exaggerating. This was humiliating, dismissive, and completely inappropriate. I do not need to disclose my disability to anyone, nor should I be interrogated after already complying with the law. I was so taken aback that I decided to leave immediately. Neither my dog nor I felt welcome, and I was uncomfortable continuing the interaction. We were former customers, but after this experience, I can't bring myself to return. No one should be treated this way - ESPECIALLY over something that is legally protected and deeply personal.

I make it a point to try something different every time I come, and it has truly never disappointed. Everything is consistently delicious and clearly made with care. The coffee is great (which is a must for brunch), and I love that they always feature seasonal specials, it keeps the menu exciting and gives you a reason to come back again and again. Portion sizes are also fantastic; you definitely leave full and satisfied, which I really appreciate. And let's talk about the breakfast potatoes... easily the best breakfast potatoes I've had anywhere. Perfectly cooked, seasoned so well, and honestly addictive. I look forward to them every single visit. They're open bright and early for early risers, but they close around 3pm, so plan accordingly. On weekends, I highly recommend joining the waitlist early because this place gets PACKED, and for good reason. Overall, Toast Coffeehouse is a total favorite of mine. I always love coming here, and I always leave happy and full. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go, you won't regret it!

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.

Well worth a visit if you're looking to cap off a cute stroll around Port Jeff!…read more Reservations are encouraged at this cozy tea spot. 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!

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.

There's a lot going on amidst the reviews of Dortoni, but I want my own write up to really focus on…read morethe here and now and the bakery aspect of this place (which by the way, is quite good). My wife and I have been here a few times and found Dortoni to be delightfully delicious. Well, for the most part. On our first trip we tried a whole bunch of different baked goods (pastries, cookies, crumbs, cakes, etc.), though one thing we were excited about was their take on the Dubai chocolate sensation via the form of a cake. Unfortunately, it kind of missed the mark, but if you take that snafu aside, everything else at Dortoni is fantastic. For instance, my wife's new favorite dessert is their cheesecake waffle cone (which is exactly what it sounds like). For me, I loved the key lime bomb which was out of this world. There's just a great selection of stuff here that makes you curious as to what they'll have each time you enter. Beyond the baked goods, I will say the staff has been super friendly. Both visits they were helpful, gave suggestions, and (though it was close to closing) offered us some rolls free of charge. It doesn't take a lot to make you feel welcome and they do more than that which is nice to see. Perhaps you won't see what is nothing more than a few tables inside this small spot that you can sit at, but I wouldn't say this is a horrible turnoff. Yeah, maybe Dortoni isn't your bakery/cafe that's going to be a place you stay and enjoy your goods, but it's definitely worth some items to-go. Overall, Dortoni in Port Jeff earns a visit. There are other locations (perhaps even one closer to me) that I might have to check out, but even if I do, I'll at least know that the quality and service in PJ is top notch. I'd gladly return here in the future (and I probably will knowing my wife's new obsession) and you should too!
