    Why hasn't this Ronkonkoma Playa Bowls place gotten any reviews yet? Well hey, I'm happy to start things off and throw them the five stars they deserve. I mean I've already been here at this aesthetically beachy location at least five times and at this point it's easy to see they are legit in their bowl making abilities (and then some!). Now what is a playa bowl? Well maybe you're more familiar with SoBol açaí bowls, a company that originated on Long Island and has a location all over the place at this point. I do love me some SoBol, but oh does Playa (a New Jersey originator) take the idea of açaí and blows it up! This is really seen across their massive menu with not just açaí and pitaya bowls available, but also mango, green, oatmeal, coconut, and banana bowl bases as options. Woah. My wife has already become a true fan of the mango bowls while for myself, I've also enjoyed those, but I truly love the banana bowl bases. Yum. Playa Bowls is more than just a bowl spot though as they also boast a nice list of smoothies that are just as legit. Case in point: the orange power smoothie (orange, vanilla protein, pineapple, coconut milk) is your summer time necessity. Fruity, creamy, and delicious. What's also pretty darn tasty is their Playa cold brew. Boasting chicory coffee concentrate (something you often only find in New Orleans), Playa Bowls brews up a formidable (and icy) cup of joe. Just as important to all of this is the friendly staff and reward system/app that is used here. Though a mostly younger group of employees, they seem to dole out your order at a reasonable speed and I've yet to have any issues when ordering through that aforementioned app. The app compiles rewards and also gives you special offers which just adds to the greatness of Playa. Overall, I'm sorry to say that as good as SoBol is, Playa is just a better. It's tough to beat so many bowl bases that are equally delicious and when you throw in the smoothies, coffee, and plenty of rewards via the app, I just need to get down on the ground and start bowing to the bowls. Playa bowls, that is. Now hopefully this one five star review will get the juices flowing for others to come and experience the tastiness found here in this Ronkonkoma spot.

    Love their açaí bowls. Have had their 8th Ave and Pura Vida bowls and both are refreshing. Great that they stay open until 9pm. Cute and tropical inside. Lots of menu items to choose from.

    This plays bowls location is super nice in Station yards! I love their peanut butter protein bites and their cold brew is so good. I think at certain times when you buy a bowl, you get a free cold brew, which is super nice.

    Fall specials! So good! Pb&j bowl & smoothie

    I've been to the Toast Coffee House locations in Port Jefferson and Patchogue, and the new…read moreRonkonkoma location was just as good. We visited on Mother's Day, so there was a wait, and it seemed like they were a little understaffed since there were empty tables where we were eventually seated. The food was excellent. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with home fries, and the home fries were honestly the highlight of the meal. I could have eaten a whole plate of them. The prices are a bit high, so it's more of a special occasion spot for me, but the quality makes it worth it. I also loved the interior, which has a nice mix of modern and farmhouse style. My only complaint was that the music was way too loud. I could barely hear my wife sitting right next to me. Other than that, we had a great experience

    First we were seated at a table that was sticky and gross! I had to ask for extra napkins because…read moreit was so sticky my hands were sticking to the table. The Waiter agreed and recleaned the table. Orders were placed. Took 40 mins for our food to come out. The other people in my party made modifications to their order and I ordered exactly as it was listed on the menu . After waiting for 40 minutes for the food, my order the unmodified one was completely wrong. We tried to tell the food runner, he ignored me and put the plate down. He walked away. We waved him back over and told him again this was not the order. He took it back and then went to speak to our waiter. He came over and said what happened? We explained this was not what I ordered. He then went and looked at something and then came back and said I will have them remake this. This whole process took long enough that my friends were already eating. 10 minutes later the food was still not out. I called the waiter back over and told him to just cancel it. He said the manager was coming and she came over a few minutes later with the food. I told her I didn't want the food I was too annoyed at that point to eat. She said take it home. What I had cannot be reheated. She said well I'll leave it here because I'm throwing it out either way. Crepes with fruit on top just don't reheat well! At the point that the manager finally came by to bring the food my friends were 90% done with their meals! Everytime I looked at this manager she was on her cell phone, talking, texting or staring at it. I went to the bathroom and came out of the stall and the manager was doing talk to text in the bathroom. Perhaps if she stayed off her phone orders wouldn't be getting screwed up or patrons would not be sat at dirty sticky tables! Her whole attitude and demeanor ruined our whole experience there. She truly didn't seem to care. My friends picked at my dish but I was too annoyed to eat. I have eaten at Toast in Patchogue and Bayshore and enjoyed both experiences on every occasion that I have been there. I have eaten at this Toast three different times and every time I have left disappointed by the service but this is by far the worst! For all that aggravation she took my meal off and that was it. So thank you for ruining our nice girls lunch!

    Since my last review Roller Coasta has become a local favorite. It now has its own reward app and…read morebreakfast items (along with their usual pastries). I also enjoy the reward app and it's definitely an incentive to keep my money with small businesses rather than global chains. It was nice to come in and see some people sitting chatting and working on their laptops. It gave a bright, ready to conquer the world vibe. Caramel macchiato (the small ice as pictured just hits different) and a coffee cake are my go to's both exceptional. The coffee cake can be saved for two servings as well. There were two counter people also delightful.

    I came here today (7/726) for the first time, and it definitely won't be last!…read more I had a great experience from the moment I walked in! I was greeted by Tom, who was very welcoming. After I mentioned it was my first time, he suggested ordering from the kiosk since it's much easier to browse the full menu there than trying to read the menu board. It definitely made the whole ordering process a lot easier. I went with the cinnamon bun iced latte, and it was delicious. It was not overly sweet and didn't taste artificial. For breakfast, I ordered the egg sandwich with egg, bacon, and Gouda. I have to give them credit for offering Gouda! It's not something you see very often at coffee shops, and as someone who loves Gouda, it was an easy choice. The sandwich was fresh, hot, and really well made. Friendly service, quality coffee, and fresh food are a winning combination. Safe to say Roller Coasta Coffee just earned a spot in my regular rotation!

    I was going to be stuck in Smithtown for a while, so I desperately needed coffee. Thanks to my…read morefellow Yelpers, I came across Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea, and I'm so glad I did. I ordered the French Vietnamese Au Lait along with a sausage, egg, and cheese on a croissant. I never thought I'd wish I lived in Smithtown until that moment. The coffee was absolutely divine, and the breakfast sandwich was perfectly made. If you're someone who isn't used to drinking coffee, do yourself a favor and don't order the quad version and then wonder why you're awake all night! It's delicious, but it's packed with caffeine and definitely lives up to its name. The café itself is clean, cozy, and inviting. It's the perfect place to study, catch up on work, or curl up with a good book. I ended up pulling out my Kindle and finishing my book club read while I waited for Hobby Lobby to open, and it couldn't have been a better way to spend the morning. There's a small parking lot, but I had no trouble finding a spot. The restroom was also incredibly clean, which I always appreciate. The customer service was outstanding, and everyone made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. I'll definitely be making the trip back to Smithtown for another visit. The coffee alone is worth the drive!

Yes they have non dairy options. Prices were reasonable, with cash and card options. Lastly, the setting is so cafe appropriate. The food options are displayed well and the menu is an easy read.

    Crazy house is more like it…read more I have never seen more foot traffic in a place than here. They're doing something right. First of all the presentation of all the food was just spectacular. Service was outstanding. I sat with family and enjoyed a simple tea and toast today. My sister-in-law order the Matcha with blueberry, she let me grab a sip and it was very refreshing, perfectly balanced blueberry, it was sweet but not too sweet paired with the Matcha tea. Not only delicious but very pleasing to the eye it's beautifully displayed in their clear cup. This place feels upscale, trendy. The food options are plentiful. Can't wait to return. It's a place to stop in and check out.

    Came here on a grey afternoon looking for some lunch and a coffee pick me up with my girlfriend…read more(she was dying to bring me here). I thought it would be dead, but to my surprise it was still pretty busy! Its a small little place, but still a few options to sit down and eat or just sip your java. Bonus points for excellent music choice, very indie singer/songwriter style that made for a nice relaxing atmosphere. Starting with the reason you're probably going here, the coffee. I got a peanut butter latte, and my girlfriend got one of their winter seasonal choices in the ginger bread latte. both served hot. The PB was very smooth and lightly sweet, but the ginger bread one in my opinion takes home the trophy this time. As for lunch we did their sandwich/wrap and a salad combo, which as far as I am concerned is the best deal I've ever seen, Panera eat your heart out. I got the buffalo chicken wrap with a side caesar salad, and my girlfriend got the fig & brie sandwich, with a side peach and avocado salad. The buffalo wrap was nice and light with grilled chicken and a buffalo sauce that seemed almost more like a vinaigrette and the caesar was about as classic as it gets. The fig and brie was an unexpected plus for me and eats almost like a caprese sandwich, while the peach and avocado salad was super fresh, fruit in salad doesn't quite do it for me personally, so we split the trophy for our lunches. My only "major" downside is that the food is served on wooden paddles, I personally like a plate, but that is more of me just being a nit-picker more than anything else. Parking is pretty ample with spots both in the front and the back of the attached lot, but be careful when you're pulling up the first time, you're bound to miss it, I know I almost did!
