    Such a great spot! The food was delicious, they have amazing vegan options, and the coffee was exceptional. I also absolutely loved the unique, witchy decor and cozy atmosphere--it makes the whole experience so fun and memorable. Definitely a must-visit in West Hempstead!

    Delicious each and every time

    Another amazing and fabulous time. My friend and I had at the Witches Brew. 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

    Festive Halloween decorations as you walk in

    VIBES I've been going to the Witches Brew since about 2008 and it's still one of my favorite cozy spots. The decor is spooky and a little eclectic. While during the day you can see the fun mixed and matched vintage furniture, at night their warm string lights make for the coziest ambiance. It's especially perfect during the Halloween season. One thing that I noticed from our most recent visit on a Friday evening is there were a good amount of families with kids and even babies. It might be quieter to go at a different time like I have in the past. Funny enough, it's probably all the people like me who used to come here in our high school days. SERVICE They get super busy and have implemented a virtual waiting list system that you can find via a link on their Instagram. It'll notify you when you're next and gives you 10 minutes to get back there. Honestly, easy nicer than waiting in a line outside in the cold! They've also always had super nice servers that regardless of time have the same friendly chill vibes. FOOD My favorite thing to get here is one of their special coffee flavors. They have a huge assortment with fun spooky names. I love picking one with a marshmallow flavor base. Might be called Midnight. They also have a huge adjustment of loose leaf teas that they serve in cast iron tea pots. These drinks pair perfectly with their desserts. My favorite things to get from them is a warm cinnamon bun a la mode. For their savory food it should be noted that the whole menu is vegetarian/vegan friendly. Something we ALWAYS get is their focaccia which is warm and cheesy. Their artichoke dip with nachos is excellent and my husband enjoyed his falafel sandwich with fries.

    lol @ service charge

    This place is disappointing. Came here for some desserts since I was craving something sweet but it was overpriced and nasty. There's not much options in long island. Thought it was gonna be decent with all the reviews this place has but it's terrible. Got two items. Carrot cake and some apple pie. Not good at all. Maybe it's good if you've never been to the city or lived in any other big city. This place would go out of business in NYC. The worst thing about this place is they charge a service fee for take out. Does not sound legal at all. Would not come back and would not recommend.

    Came in day after Halloween with a friend visiting from out of town. First off the waiting list is no joke, it was about 2 hrs (I was placed on waiting list from my couch and it gives you a very accurate breakdown on your place in line). Once we were called inside, they verified my reservation and we were seated immediately. The decor !!!! Oooohhh la la like out of a really funky cool Halloween book. 10/10 for decor. We started out with hibiscus ginger tea with honey. Yum!!!! Appetizers were Mac n cheese and samosas. Main meals were "chicken" sandwich and falafel. For dessert a pumpkin square to go (forgot to take a photo sorry). Literally everything was delicious which is rare. Full of flavor, good serving size for the price, great service from the staff and very creative menu. I would definitely go back. The wait was worth it for the experience

    What a fu cozy themed place. Enjoyed my time there. A lot of different types of coffee teas and desserts. I would come back again

    Frozen hot chocolate
    Daniel B.

    Stopped in for the first time in a long time and was greeted by a familiar menu with still solid dessert options. The frozen hot chocolate hit the spot even on a cold winter's night, and the vegan smore was incredible. Always a wait, but it's worth it for some delicious after dinner treats!

    Gnocchi
    Jessica C.

    Forgot to review this gem when I went 3 weeks ago on Halloween day! Such a cute spot! Everyone was dressed up for Halloween. All vegan spot which was very interesting. I don't normally go but the Halloween theme brought me in here. I wasn't a big fan of the buffalo cauliflower because it was spicy but the gnocchi was great. I definitely enjoyed my dessert and drink! Staff were great and very accommodating. Will return :)

    Nachos
    Dyamond D.

    I've been a customer to Witches Brew for years. This is a good option for a late night dessert especially to converse and hang out. The decor and menu likely attracts more teens/college students/young adults. I really like that they have an extensive menu and they have options for those who are plant based/vegan. I ordered the hot chocolate and there was nothing special about it at all! It tasted like it was chocolate syrup and water mixed together which disappointed me because dessert places usually put more effort into their drinks. I would give it a 1/5 :( I was pleasantly surprised by the nachos we ordered as they were really good for a quick dessert bite and quite filling for two people to share. After we ordered the nachos we split the apple pie a la mode and it was a great mix of hot and cold. The pie is a great example for a standard pie and is a great option if you're unsure what to get and aren't feeling super adventurous. Witches Brew is not the best when I think of really great dessert but I think it provides a fun/spooky ambiance, has options for everyone and is nice for small groups. If you visit I would suggest making a reservation in advance as they are often busy!

    A mocha and a frozen cappuccino!

    Delicious dessert and drinks! Our waiter was kind and patient! We went late night when it was less busy, but he was still helpful!

    Hot tea
    Felicia F.

    Super fun and cute hidden gem! They don't take reservations and it could be a crazy wait (online it said THREE hours- but we ended up getting in earlier than that). They have a wide variety of teas, food, etc. everything was great, especially the tea and the cheesecake. CASH ONLY!

    First time visit, recommended by friends. Parking was easy: on street in front or residential parking is around the corner. We ordered: Nacho ( fresh ingredients. Recommend) Mac and cheese ( definitely will order again) Soft pretzels ( soft and moist ) Greek salad ( fresh!) Burritos teriyaki with fries ( it was ok) Pumpkin pie ( rich pumpkin taste) NY cheesecake ( yum! ) Pro: - very cute design. Halloween all year round. - great friendly staff. - didn't think food can be so delicious without meat. We enjoyed it especially the homemade mac and cheese. Definitely star of the meal. Fresh ingredients. Con: - CASH ONLY!!! ATM onsite. -lighting was dim. I had sone difficulty reading the menu or seeing what's on my nachos. But my eyesight is not the best to start with. - Table was small for a real dinner meal for - It's designed to be a coffee table only. However, the experienced staff brought in a small table next to us without us asking. - least favorite of the night has been the fries. They don't seem too fresh. Little soggy to taste. - super busy on weekends in October. Waiter said weekdays and other months are no problem. If you are planning to go on October weekends, make sure you reserve online. My wait was 2.5 hours online. Sometimes the reservation line closed when the waiting time goes beyond 3 hours. Then you just have to keep checking. It may open on and off again if someone cancel. Overall. It's a great restaurant. My family including a 10 and 13 years old enjoy it. You can see the effort put in by the owner to create such ambience. We sat comfortably and enjoyed our meal. -

I live in the area and recently started working nearby and RIH has been making my lunch breaks memorable. I love lentils so when I saw another yelper post that they make veggie and lentil patties, I started to crave it. This shop is such a sparkling gem in an area over saturated and dominated by Latin cuisine and fast food chains. Where can the community go torely on quality vegetarian food ? I love supporting mom & pop shops so, this was such a treat. I also have to credit this business for being black owned. Now, I didn't know what to expect when ordering the patty but they had such a large variety to choose from ! Salmon, tart plantain, veggie and lentil. Soooo many delicious options ! Loving their Caribbean spin on their menu items also! I recently have been ordering their green smoothies which are delicious and nutritious. The Jump Start Rita is one of my favorites and really anything Kale based because they're so tasty and not bitter. There is absolutely nothing on the menu you won't love. I'll be sampling the soups and veggie burgers next. Service is always fast and friendly. This is my favorite place to have lunch. I always feel satisfied and energized without the bloat.

This sandwich is grilled chicken with pepper jack cheese, avocado, arugula, topped with homemade Tamarind cilantro salsa on ciabatta. The sandwich was also served with a side of fries, but you can substitute it for others like he chose 1/2 Sweet Potato / 1/2 Onion Rings for $2.07 more. There were only a few onion rings, but they are big. The sandwich was packed with flavors. The Burger Spot is the spot for burgers and fries. There are a few tables inside and when the weather is nice, there are tables set up outside as well. Definitely check it out if you are in the area!
