Visit Date: January 20, 2026…read more I got the LI cafe passport book from my co-worker for Christmas. In January I got to go to two coffee shops in this book, for five was the second one. I went with one of my friends. We both had the mochas and I had a shot of espresso because the book recommended it. The espresso was good, not overly bitter, pretty much just right. The mocha was amazing a good ratio of chocolate, coffee and espresso. It was pretty busy here and the atmosphere was nice. The snacks looked really good maybe one day I'll go back for a pastry. I give for five five stars and five beans and would recommend coming here if you like coffee shops.

l've rarely encountered such a rude and unwelcoming barista…read more I ordered a pour-over, but when I tried to simply watch the brew process, the barista was incredibly cold and dismissive, essentially refusing to let me see what she was doing. The elitist attitude continued throughout the transaction; she couldn't be bothered to tell me which beans she was using, and once the coffee was finished, she didn't even acknowledge me or announce that the drink was ready. It's a shame when a shop's "gatekeeping" attitude ruins the experience. There is no excuse for treating customers with that much contempt. I won't be returning to a place that makes me feel like an inconvenience for ordering a coffee.

People watching activated. On to the coffee. We tried the Matcha latte and Iced Caramel latte. Paired them with a raspberry tart and brownie. Yum! Our order taker was super friendly and welcomed us with a smile and greeting. A+ on the customer service. She gets it.

Stopped for coffee after work. Luckily they weren't really busy yet so we were able to get a table…read morequickly. The decor is really nice. Pays homage to Yemen roots. The store gets great lighting, with views of the mall across the street. They have convenience outlets by the window seats. Great for charging your laptops. The coffee is flavorful without being over powering. Brewed just right. We tried the Caramel Iced Latte and Matcha Latte. There wasn't a lot of interaction with the staff besides ordering but the guys were cool. Good coffee, cool setting and nice staff.

Very cute cafe serving Yemeni coffee with friendly and welcoming service. We ordered Sana'ani and…read moreMafawar which were both medium roast and an iced Yemeni latte. Their coffee was not as strong as what I'm used to and somehow tasted like chai (I guess because of the spices). They are not coffee was super hot and they put a sign up to warn us. But it was so hot that I could barely hold it in my hand. Maybe they could use a thicker cup sleeve? By the way if you dine in and order drinks, the drinks would actually come in a pot with a few glasses on the metal tray. So cute. Service was good. The staff was busy but was patient with the order. Cute decor. Felt very cozy there. There were quite a few large groups and some students studying. Got a few parking stalls at the back.

I've been a fan of TFW since the opening of their Bayside location, and i absolutely love the…read morelocation here at Garden City. Their pastries are top notch, both in ingredient and aesthetics, but beyond that I am most impressed with the customer service at this location. They stand behind excellence and ensure customer satisfaction, and it shows in their demeanor and action when something is not 100% up to par. If you're looking for something delicious and beautiful, or a piece of cake, tart, or mousse that will impress, this is your place! It's worth every penny!

I frequent The French Workshop and love everything they have to offer…read more Started with the one in Bayside. Then a closer location in garden city opened. And now an even closer location in Plainview! Pretty soon they're gonna open one right in my backyard or something haha. It is a lovely spot for authentic French-inspired pastries and coffee. I've had everything here including cupcakes, brownies, croissants, macarons, cookies, madelines, etc. I've also come here to get a small cake for special occasions. It is also a very nice place to come with friends and enjoy a coffee and pastries. The elegant, pristine interior with marble accents and beautiful displays creates a welcoming Parisian vibe. Perfect for a quick treat or relaxed sit-down. I love the cookies here, they're soft and chewy unlike the Plainview FWS I always leave with a giant bag of 5 of every different flavor of cookie(chocolate chip, nutella, oreo, pistachio, etc) because the texture is so soft and smooth. My new obsession is the fruits of the forest cake. So delicious! Its a must try!!! It gets packed in here, but the line moves quickly! If you haven't tried FWS yet, what are you waiting for?

If your looking for delicious food paired with good coffee and a cozy atmosphere, I highly…read morerecommend East Rock Coffee. Perfect date spot for breakfast and brunch with a friend.

Food Not for me. My meal was a disappointment…read more The grilled chicken salad was too salty for me. (Salty for me may not be salty for you) The burger description said it comes with bacon but the cook left out the bacon. The server brought out the bacon after half the burger was consumed. (Missing bacon wasn't the first thing checked but eventually the taste of bacon was missing ...and when asked the bacon was brought out on a plate, sitting in some residual oils. Eeks... The pickles were stuffed inside the burger and they were not cut like pickle chips. It was cut to serve on the side. Food Presentation was less than ideal. Service Polite but not knowledgeable. The server said the burger comes with a poached egg, when the food came, it was served with a fried egg. Not a big deal but inaccurate data. Ambiance Like... I'm dining inside sephora. Its a strange black and white stripe decor. The chairs are comfortable. The tables is a tad too high and wobbly. Food, service and ambiance not on par with prices charged. It doesn't warrant a repeat visit even if the prices were lowered. Its missing a chef with a passion to make tasty food. The serving staff needs a better understanding of the menu and what is being served. (Maybe Encourage the staff to eat the food so they can communicate to the customers better or give feedback to the cook about the food quality.)

Have I spent all of my money here? Yes. But this cafe's food and drinks gave me just enough joy and…read moreenergy to power through the days so it was all worth it. My favorite combo was the hot matcha latte and croissant during the winter time. The matcha was so creamy with a strong and sweet matcha taste, and the croissant was unexpectedly top tier. But I wouldn't sleep on their other menu items either (they brew very strong coffee as well). My addiction was fueled by this cafe's aesthetic seasonal decor, genuinely friendly service, and proximity to the train station. They craft such a well rounded experience for their customers !

I've been wanting to come here for at least a year now, and I'm always nearby not even realizing…read morethat it's a block or two from the train station! It's a small cafe but they do have quite a selection. The lady who helped me out, I believe she may have been the owner, was very nice and told me about what they have to offer from coffees to sandwiches. I ordered a Dulce de leche iced latte with caramel drizzle and the drizzle definitely gave it that extra boost of flavor! I'll definitely be back here to try more items!

Another amazing and fabulous time. My friend and I had at the Witches Brew…read more I ordered my usual Hummus and Pita Bread, Side Salad and Sleepy Hollow Tea, they have so many other varieties to choose from but this tea is my favorite for me and my taste buds. My friend ordered the Falafel Sandwich and a Irish Breakfast Tea. Besides the delicious food what else made this time at the Witches Brew extra special. Well it was our Waitress Sam. Sam was perfection from the start of the meal to the finish. She had the best vibes and attitude and wore the coolest looking Van's. Her customer service skills outshine many other waitstaff that I've encountered in the past month. Sam is another Great addition to the already amazing team the Witches Brew employs

I literally stood there waiting for my change for several minutes as no other customers were in the store & they just walked away & never came back. I was going to call them out on it, but figured if they needed it that badly to steal it from me they can have it. I would have tipped them a couple of bucks anyway after they handed my order over, but since they pulled this stunt I chose to not give them anything more. They definitely lost a customer for life. I'm never returning as the place was nothing special. What completely ridiculous & unprofessional behavior.

The food is delicious. I have been there when the service was great, and then one time we went as a…read morelast minute decision, I tried talking the other person to go to another place because I felt the shirt I was wearing was too casual as it was tye die. Sure enough that casual t-shirt earned dirty looks from the staff, we were seated in a corner where others really couldn't see us. The person I was with was even greeted with a "you know that item costs this much" when they placed their order .....all because of my shirt. They are on UberEats so if you are dressed casual you can get it delivered (or perhaps pick it up) I am sad to hear that they will be closing, I do want to get there one more time for lunch as it was always a nice experience aside from the one encounter.

Beautiful fall night out on this lively local street where the entire neighborhood is out and…read moreabout. Great people watching and there was music playing from the street closure. Seventh street staff is accommodating and attentive. The food was very good. We started with the hot antipasto. Although it's really only enough for two people. You need another app for more people. The bread basket was a nice touch. The menu is very extensive and well priced. I had the salmon which was well portioned and tasty with a Dijon. My aunt had a thin grilled chicken and vegetables. We both loved their scalloped potatoes, yum. My mother had gnocchi bolognese which was very good as well. For desert we went with rainbow cookie but it was missing that rainbow taste. The fruit tart with cream was nice but the cream could have been thicker to give it more taste. Cappuccinos were too light mostly milk in color and taste. Overall very happy this place is still here, it has everything and in a prime location.
