If you're paying nearly $20 for a medium iced coffee and an iced matcha latte, you'd expect the…read moredrinks to be good at the very least. Unfortunately, the matcha was a big disappointment. It isn't freshly whisked or made to order, they have it premixed and sitting in a container ready to pour. You can definitely taste the difference. It didn't taste fresh and, strangely enough, kind of tasted like Play-Doh. The place itself is really nice, and the staff was friendly, so there are definitely positives here. But at these prices, the quality of the drinks needs to match. With so many good coffee shops in town, they really need to step up the drink quality if they want to stay competitive.

Visit Date: May 3, 2026…read more All I want to do is go to the cafes listed in my LI cafe passport book for Christmas but my friends keep picking different coffee shops that are not in my book which is slightly annoying to me lol I made a plan to meet my friend Shani and she wanted to check this place out. I got a regular coffee with half and half because I also got the crepe and wanted to not have sugar on top of sugar if I drank a sweet drink and had a sweet dessert. I ended up choosing a crepe, they had no dessert with peanut butter in it which would have been my first choice. The crepe was okay. I ate half of it and my boyfriend ate the other half when I saw him after coffee. I found this place to be just okay, I gave it 4 stars because it was good but it didn't wow me and I think they made it too trendy looking and too hyped up. The service was also very good the man who helped me answered my questions patiently. So I liked this place but wasn't really wowed by it.

Unfortunately, due to the heavy rain the day before, the patio wasn't set up. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. They went out of their way to set up a table and chairs for us so we could enjoy breakfast and celebrate together with our dog. Our waitress, Jordan, was patient and friendly, which made the experience even better. Since it was our first visit, they treated us to a free stack, and the seasonal option was the Peach Cobbler Pancakes. We also ordered the Benedict Arnold, Biscuits and Gravy, Early Riser with two eggs our way, a Banana Nut Latte, and an Espresso Martini. Everything was fresh and tasty, and the Espresso Martini definitely packed a punch! At the end of our meal, they brought out a tiny Sprinkle Stack with a candle and sang Happy Birthday to my boyfriend. It was such a sweet surprise and honestly made the outing feel extra special. I'm definitely recommending this location. The food was delicious, but the kindness and customer service really stood out. They helped turn a rainy-day breakfast into a memorable birthday adventure!

No issue getting a table and were seated immediately. Katie our server was very nice, pleasant and efficient. Drink were brought out quickly and our order taken. My friend got an omelet special with Irish bangers and cheese with home fries and rye toast. She enjoyed the omelet and I have to say the rye bread was outstanding. Don't think it's made in house but were ever they get it from is really good. I got a lunch special of Pot Roast sandwich with onions, mushrooms and cheese on thick cut bread. It was served with a au jus dipping sauce. If it's on the menu don't hesitate to get it, it was outstanding and so stuffed I could only eat half. Will absolutely be returning to Toast !

I ordered the latest specialty burger, the French Onion Shack Stack along with a the viral Dubai Shake. I had to start with the Dubai Shake. Mind numbing good, O.M.G.! The chocolate slaps you and there are so many layers of deliciousness, the wheat in a shake is a little much but there are rules with a Dubai shack. No shredded wheat, its not the Dubai Shake. The French Onion Shack Stack, this is not a first date burger. It's juicy, sloppy and oh so good. You're going to need more napkins, this is a damn good burger and add a star if you like French Onion Soup. Shake Shack Melville, Keep rockin'!

***MUCH BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE SANDWICH CHAIN*** ***FAST,…read moreEFFICIENT AND CONSISTENT SERVICE*** THOSE OTHER PLACES The other day, a few of us were talking about why sandwich shops like Subway and Blimpie, are so darn awful. One person, mentioned the sweaty-looking cold cuts, and phoney tuna. Next, someone brought up the not-so-fresh, wilted toppings. But then I added, that one of the most important aspects of a hero sandwich is the bread. And at these places, it's just so mushy, and fake-tasting. Even worse, it smells weirdly artificial. And that foul, artificial bread smell is the first thing that hits your nose when you walk into one of these places. "Hell", I said, "it's almost like the Pillsbury Dough Boy farted right in your face" JERSEY MIKE'S IS DIFFERENT Now being a sandwich chain store, Jersey Mike's is obviously not using artisan breads for their offerings. But the white, wheat, or parmesan rosemary breads are not at all fake tasting, and definitely form the basis for a good sandwich. And you can also order any sandwich on a wrap or even gluten free bread. A LOT TO OFFER Another big difference at Jersey Mike's, is the large number of sandwich choices. As there's at least twelve regular cold deli meat options, tuna, and a veggie sub. And on top of that, another twelve hot options with cheese steak, chicken cheese steak, and a fantastic portabella mushroom sandwich (more on this later). And for the best possible taste, all the deli meats are sliced fresh, and the ingredients for every hot sandwich are fried on a grill - not heated in a microwave as many other chains do. And lastly, everyone understands that fresh toppings are a very important ingredient for any sandwich. And so at Jersey Mike's, all toppings are of very high quality, and supremely fresh - you can definitely tell as soon as you bite into any sandwich. In addition, the oil & vinegar, the spice blend, and especially - if you enjoy spicy - the chili relish are wonderful additions that can bring the taste of any sandwich over the top. RUNS LIKE A CLOCK The management staff at each of the Jersey Mike's locations are definitely trained properly. For example, I have visited many of their different locations in New York, and in every case the restaurant & bathroom was very clean. And even when the restaurant is extremely busy during the lunch rush, service is very efficient, and the line to place an order moves quickly. WHAT I ESPECIALLY LIKE I've sampled many of the cold deli meat sandwiches, and they've really tasty. But my favorite sandwiches are the hot offerings, and this is where Jersey Mike's is far superior to most other sandwich chains. The cheese steaks, fried fresh with peppers and onions are great - especially the spicy #42 Chipotle Chicken or the #44 Buffalo Chicken versions. But my top pick overall, is the #64 Portabella Mushroom sandwich, made with fried peppers & onions. With this, I always ask for everything to be fried well-done, and then I top it off with a little chili relish, making this sandwich a fantastic mild-spicy vegetarian delight. CHANGE-UP Even though there's so many different items on the menu here, if you visit frequently, things can become repetitive. So to counter this - especially if you're trying to diet - you can order any sandwich as a salad. When doing this, the portion size is decent, but you may want to ask for some extra ingredients if your a chubby hungry guy like me. I usually order the Tuna salad, and put extra lettuce, tomato, and some banana peppers on it, to kick it up a bit. In addition to the salad options, Jersey Mike's periodically offers a new off menu sandwich. For instance, a Salsa Verde Chicken Cheese Steak was offered not long ago, and as I write this, The Classic is being offered, with pastrami, mozzarella, fried onions, pickles, and mustard. So taking all this into account, it's not surprising that I haven't visited a Subway or Blimpe sandwich shop in quite a few years. Without a doubt, there's plenty of these restaurants around, but after experiencing Jersey Mike's I'm just not satisfied with what they are offering. And once you experience Jersey Mike's, I'd bet you'll feel the same way too.
