Avacado toast and egg over easy
Mary Jane R.

Delicious breakfast, wonderful helpful staff, clean small space. There was so much to choose from so we chose avacado toast and a chicken biscuit meal and both were delicious. Matcha latte and chai latte came to us steaming hot just like we like it! A lovely meal!

Peanut butter cup latte
Dmitriy A.

Have stopped by multiple times and after today's experience figured it's really worth a review. Coffee flavor variety options are awesome. So much to choose from. Staff are friendly and make the drinks quickly. Location is always packed. Dog friendly which is a huge bonus. Did decide to try the spicy chicken salad with bacon wrap. Forgot the name of it but was delicious. Was honestly surprised at the quality of the chicken salad. It seems as if they don't use canned chicken or pre made stuff but make their own. Sweet potato fries that came with it oh sooooo good. Between excellent coffee and delicious food, this is a place I will absolutely be returning to for lunch

I was in the area recently and looking for a place to grab lunch/breakfast during my lunch break. I saw that this place food pictures looked really good so I decided to check it out. I ordered a chicken ceaser wrap as well as a strawberry drink online for pickup and arrived about 12 minutes after I ordered it. I enter a small but spacial establishment with seating in the front as well as around the bar area. There were paintings on the wall and the space really felt comfy and healing almost. I let the worker know I was picking up an order and I waited about 4 more minutes before it was ready. The food tasted very delicious and the drink was also pretty good. My own personal cons were that the lettuce in my wrap was wilted which I am not used to with a chicken ceasar wrap. I much prefer the crunch from romaine in the wrap and did not get it with this one. Regardless it was still good. Additionally, my drink was filled to the brim with ice which means there wasnt much drink in there at all. I would know next time to ask for no or light ice as I wish I got to enjoy more of it.

Cappuccino with cinnamon
Karen R.

Former Soul Brew location, cute arty vibe. Which I loved!!! Good amount of seating for a small shop. Lots!!! on the menu, busy place. Friendly employees. I had a cappuccino dusted with cinnamon it was good. My only negative is on their Instagram there are pics of coffee drinks in coffee cups, not paper cups and with latte art, if that's not how you serve it, please don't present it that way. It just raised my expectations which wouldn't have happened, so that was disappointing. They do have a good thing going so I say try them I think you'll like them!

Worst cup of coffee I've ever had! Ordered the Almond Joy...the girl with the long black hair handed me a plain drink that looked like chocolate milk...I saw from yelp that it was suppose to have chocolate and white drizzle...I showed her, she looked annoyingly at her coworker and said "oh I didn't decorate the cup...you want me to?"....um yea I want the drink to be the drink I ordered I thought to myself. She hurriedly threw a splatter of both on the cup and poured my old drink back into it. My out of town sister looked on w disgust and surprise since I was telling her what a great coffee shop I was taking her to. Sadly I guess that's when it was soul brew because I've previously never had such a gross drink.

A great neighborhood coffee shop serving up great drinks and delicious food. First off, the staff here is fantastic. They're so friendly and welcoming and just genuinely nice folks. They're attentive, eager to suggest some options, and really care. The decor is cozy and classic, full of brick, wood, and green accents that make it easy to sink in here. There's art from local artisans that's available to purchase which is a great way to support the community and add a nice extra offering. It was a hot day so I went for an iced green tea which was perfectly brewed. There's an extensive menu and everything sounded amazing. I went for a T-bird breakfast burrito/wrap which was done really well with super fresh ingredients. Absolutely coming back here to spend some more time and try out some more of their options.

Banana Latte
Jennifer L.

Came here after the Runner's Edge run club and it was so cute! They have a bunch of different syrup options and drink options and it was super quick service to get it. I'll definitely be back again.

Been trying alot of coffee shops on LI, this one is good they have a lot of different flavors and specials. The coffee was good I got an iced cinnamon latte, very sweet but I expected it is flavored coffee. Ordered avocado toast, it took way too long. Many people before me had been waiting a long time and were mad about wait. They could have offered a free pastry or something to show they were actually sorry. I waited almost 20 minutes for an avocado toast. The owner I'm assuming apologized for wait but that didn't really change anything. Don't recommend ordering food maybe only coffee. Need more workers. Very small place and when a lot of people are there they're on top of you. Good place needs more workers

I gave 2 stars for the nice staff that gave us a nice game recommendation towards the end of our…read moretime there but that's about it. I cannot believe they don't serve hot food starting around 8:15pm and they close at 11pm. They only have cold items like hummus and veggies and sweets. And apparently, no outside food. Definitely a place to avoid if you want to eat a meal and play games after 8pm. It's not fun to play on an empty stomach!

This is the gold standard for board game cafes!! The ones in NYC may charge less for unlimited…read moretime, but there you're paying for a bunch of beat up games and clueless staff. This is definitely not the case at the Main Street Board Game Cafe! The $15 entrance fee makes perfect sense to me... as they have a great variety of games in surprisingly immaculate condition, and very knowledgeable staff that are happy to explain how all of the games are played. The staff are really what set this cafe apart from others like it. Learning the rules from an expert is what makes complicated strategy based games less scary and more fun!! Everything is also very clean and well maintained, and the food is tasty. Definitely not the fanciest or most complex stuff on the menu, but who's coming here for the food anyway? They make a yummy grilled cheese, and some really good strong espresso based drinks. They have a great selection of teas from the clipper ship tea company as well.

There were toddlers and preschoolers in the restaurant with their families, so I asked the waitress to please change the channel. She looked at me like I was crazy and told me that she didn't understand what my problem was. I explained that there were graphic photos of people and crime scenes that aren't suitable for children, or really anyone else trying to enjoy their meal. That issue non-withstanding, I still don't think Over Easy is worth choosing over Hatch or Munday's. The wait for us was 20 minutes, which is the same for pretty much every other place in Huntington. It's also very small, so as a result the tables are extremely close together. We were seated in the middle of the floor, with waitstaff passing through very frequently on both sides. We had to constantly tuck ourselves in and watch our backs to avoid getting an elbow in the face. Our food tasted alright, but there were several issues. We both got variations of eggs benedict. I got the avocado BLT benedict, with avocado, tomato, arugula, bacon, and hollandaise on top of ciabatta. It tastes good, and I especially liked how orange and healthy the poached egg yolk was. However the ciabatta was pretty badly burnt. My boyfriend got the "classic" eggs benedict, which was served over toasted sourdough bread. This bread was ridiculous, over an inch thick and impossible to cut through without shaking the table and making a crummy mess. I would've thought the classic eggs benedict would be eggs with Canadian bacon over an English muffin; this one was just not the best.
