    Thai Zinger
    Napoleon M.

    Choosing this restaurant to add variety my palate was a really good decision. The not only gave street PO parking but I discovered a parking lot behind the building. The patio dining is very attractive as well. The restaurant doors were kept open which means that anything was free to fly in so you might want to sit away from the door or rnesr the back of they offer seating in the back. I had the Thai Zinger. It was hot in temperature and made to order. It was in very delicious. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Being that I'm new Vegan eating! I'll come again yo experience their breakfast menu!

    Caesar Salad w/ Chicken Wrap

    Absolutely delicious !! This place never disappoints. From the dancing Greek salad, to the juices, and I have even sampled some of their hot plates. Nothing beats their quality and cleanliness for a fast, on the go type place. The staff is always kind and respectful!

    Blackened chicken dish
    Matt G.

    Our favorite new lunch spot in Garden City. Food for thought offers some great, quick, lunch options with a healthy twist. Its walkup counter service and food takes about 10-15 minutes to come out. Our favorites were the salmon dish and balsamic chicken. Also, I got a nice wheat grass shot. There's tables both inside and outside if you want to dine there, or you can just take out. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice, quick, healthy lunch.

    Avo Pesto Cado with Chicken
    Mel P.

    Seems like a good lunch spot for sandwiches and smoothies. I ordered the Avo Pesto Cado Wrap with Chicken and it was overpriced in my opinion. $15 for a small wrap I finished in one sitting. I figured for $15 it would be bigger or come with chips or even a pickle. It was still good but not mind blowing. Maybe I should have just ordered something else.

    At Food for Thought in G.C. Bought 2 soups a yogurt with granola a piece of moist light chocolate cake while I viewed the other things they had for sale. 3 stars as what I bought was good, there were no lentils in the soup I got and I had asked the girl which soup on the divider was the correct one. They have a large selection of things when in the area I plan to stop by and try some of the other healthy appetizing items.

    Sweet Potato Sweetness - so good!
    Bianca C.

    I placed my order on Uber eats I got myself a Sweet potato sweetness which is wrapped in pita bread it's amazing I recommend! It's light refreshing and portion size is also good. I ordered a açaí bowl which for me tasted like very ripe banana not really my style. It was presented nice however that taste was just not pleasant. My friend I ordered for her a Buffalo chicken salad which she added all the ingredients that she wanted. She said it was spicy however she enjoyed it very much.

    Create your own salad
    Emily C.

    I came across this spot when I was searching for good salad options. I was actually pleasantly surprised. They have a bunch of healthy options either being salads, bowls, sandwiches and more. I created my own salad with kale and a choice of 4 toppings. I wanted to add grilled chicken as a protein but they only had chicken salad, which is kind of odd. I ended up just getting a side of chicken salad. The salad itself had fresh ingredients and was perfect with the avocado dressing which was mixed in beforehand and they also gave some on the side. It was a simple salad but I enjoyed it. The chicken salad was a little dry but not bad. Definitely try this spot out if you want something light, fresh and tasty. I would definitely try their sandwiches/wraps next time.

    Grilled Salmon special with rice and veggies
    Marina K.

    I just had my very first meal from Food For Thought. All I can say is why the heck did I waited so long to order from them. I did Uber eats and ordered their chef's special, which is grilled wild Salmon with sauté veggies, Jazmine rice and chipotle sauce. OMG the food was freakylicious ! I absolutely will order from them again and I will definitely stop by to check out their place. Highly recommend this dish if you're in the area. Again, I didn't eat there, I haven't been there. I place an Uber Eats order and it did not disappoint.

    AB açaí bowl
    Ali H.

    Went to this cafe and got the açaí bowl. It was really good with lots of toppings. The smoothies looked good too!

    Lean & Fit Omelette
    Sam K.

    I recently signed up for a Cyclebar membership (which is a couple blocks away from Food For Thought), so I've been coming here afterwards for breakfast or lunch. Today I got the Lean N Fit omelet, Food For Thought Juice, and wheatgrass shot. I love this spot because they have sooo many healthy food/juice/smoothie options, and everything tastes so fresh. My friend and I always talk about trying out new places after our cycle class, but we somehow always end up here because it's that good!

    I have recently gained an appreciation and understanding about eating healthy. A healthy diet is important for beneficial health and nutrition. Eating healthy can protect you against chronic noncommunicable diseases. My goal is to replace foods that contain trans fats, added salt, and sugar with more nutritious choices. Food For Thought is located on busy 7th Street in Garden City, and has been serving customers healthy creative food choices for over thirty years. They provide fresh ingredients without the artificial or processed ingredients. They have various creative heathy food choices that are all delicious. There are many healthy options one can order at Food For Thought or preorder on line such as Acai Bowls, Wraps, Salads, Omelets, and Sandwiches. What I love is their smoothies, especially my favorite Funky Monkey! When I am in town, "Food For Thought" is the only place I choose for lunch. Its working for me and I believe it will work for you all as well.

    Celery juice

    I've been a customer of Food for Thought for a very long time. Recently, the customer service, food and drinks have taken a deep nosedive along with its cleanliness. The "celery juice" was a dirty pool of juice remnants from previous orders. Don't think the juicer has been cleaned since its purchase b/c it "brakes the machine." Save yourself a trip and skip this mess.

    The food was great, and not over filling. We felt good after we ate our two entrées, which would be the right size for lunch or dinner.

    Went here yesterday while I was out in Nassau visiting family. I usually get smoothies at a place…read morein Commack as it's closer to where I live, and I gotta say this place is going to be my Nassau spot. I got the Mango Crusher (with apple juice as the base), and my girlfriend got the Yogi Shake Smoothie. They were both absolutely delicious, I finished mine in about 2 minutes on the way home. The woman that helped me, I believe her name is Jay (I'm terrible with names) was a cheerful and kind person that brightened my mood. Had a nice little chat about yoga while my smoothies were being made. I definitely recommend checking this place out. I know I'll be heading there once a week at least!

Two guys walked in and she took their orders and proceeded to make their shakes before acknowledging my order. She then asked me to write my order down and I knew I was getting an easy premise shake that I have ordered before no problem. I decided to walk out after waiting for 7 minutes without being helped and being skipped over. Will not return because of the poor service. Prices are more expensive than competitions across the street and smaller servicing sizes. Disappointed and won't recommend.

    I came here for a late breakfast and ordered the Caribbean Jerk Chicken Wrap with no cheese…read more It came out a few minutes later hot and warm in its packaging and they bagged it with some napkins. It was a little bit messy, so I'm glad that they did that. The sandwich was bomb and definitely had a spicy kick that I was looking for. It was very savory even with the sweetness of the pineapple sauce. The reason for the two stars was that I found two long thin hairs in the wrap. One was luckily at the base of the wrap and easy to spot/remove and the other was in the beans & rice section and as I was pulling the wrap away from my bite... eek! I pulled it out and tossed it and continued to nosh. I was so hungry I didn't mind, but any other day it might have been totally offensive and off-putting. I recommend using hairnets to anyone who handles the food there, given that two of not my own hairs were trapped in the wrap and between the wrapping and the wrap. My food order came with a side option of Ms. Vickie's flavored potato chips (I got the sea salt and vinegar, which I saved as a snack for later), a banana, or an apple (they had granny smiths today 07/03/2024). I will definitely go back and give it another try, but I really hope they do something to contain peoples' hair from entering into the foodstuffs. Happy eats!
