my favorite cafe on long island. service is amazing and so friendly. food is even better. everything I tasted here was 100/10. can’t wait to go back.
This place is a hidden Gem. Was here just to grab a bite since I'm waiting around the area. When you first arrived it looks pretty normal like any bakery/diner order egg and toast but the Egg was cool perfectly. The toast was extra thick when match with the Egg it was such great bite. Did I mention they also included home fries add a little of thay 😱. A must go if you around. So glad I had a chance to stop by
We discovered The Gourmet Whaler’s Italian Hot Chocolate, and it’s amazing! We also got our now usual Whaler Burger, fish, and shrimp tacos. In the summertime, we discovered the watermelon lemonade and Frida Panda tried watermelon for the first time! 🐾🐼♥️🍉
@Nick: Best person working there. ReAlly funny and helpful. Really takes care of the customer.👌 -Best lobster rolls on the island/NYS - both in quantity and quality. -bright spot with big windows, reasonable space in their seating area. Quirky and quaint. They have their own candy bar, make their own fudge and have a little kids area. -If you're in town this is a great place visit explore.👍
You can choose a table which you want and order food at the register. They serve food in the boxes, and you can enjoy at the Cafe or take it with yourself The food was really good. Cold Spring Harbor is a very beautiful place. Cafe is on Main Street. Spacious parking lot just across the street
Looked up a brunch spot, found this spot on google maps. Told my wife about it and went for brunch. We ordered the Breakfast B.L.T, Egg Avocado Wrap, Chocolate chip scorn, pumpkin pie slice and to drink it was a coffee cappuccino and the iced honey vanilla latte, everything was scrumptious and very filling. The restaurant had so much to offer such as bakery goods, ice cream parlor, coffee shop, breakfast and lunch platters, the dine in area was spacious and very clean. Customer service was super nice and very accommodating. Definitely would recommend to people near by and people who are willing to travel.
What a great little find in the small village of cold spring harbor. We stopped here on a whim for lunch and had some great food and coffee. My wife and I split the shrimp and quinoa bowl, the chicken wrap, and two tacos. I know a lot of food, and we had plenty of leftovers, lol. The tacos were fire, some of the best basic shrimp tacos I've had in a while. The bowl was also very good and had a nice Chipotle mayo. The wrap was nice and fresh. We also got coffee and cookies for dessert. The chocolate chip cookies were awesome and a must try! Definitely recommend this spot for either food, baked items, or just a cup of coffee! Enjoy!
Great food and the best lattes. My favorite is their Nutella latte. Cute and cozy. Counter ordering and your food is brought to your table in takeout boxes. Not fancy but fun and every single item we ordered has been out of this world delicious!!!!
Went here to take a mental health day off and it was the best choice for breakfast! Let me tell you, this place was amazing. The atmosphere here was very relaxing, with good music and just a cute, peaceful area. The staff are very friendly and a pleasure to order from. And the food? Oh my, when I tell you it was the best food I've had all month, it's true! I HIGHLY recommend their lavender lemonade, it is literally the most delicious, refreshing, floral-while-still-citrusy drink ever. I will have to come back to get this very drink, it's that good. I also had a vanilla cake pop, was very good, and the most amazing roasted pepper, pesto, and mozzarella croissant. I normally don't like eating melted cheese, but I took a chance and good thing I did, as it was so fantastic, very healthy too. The area is very nice too, with a nice park with beach views to sit down and eat down the road in walking distance. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you just want to chill and have good food! 😄❤️🥐🍋🪻
10/10 would recommend this place - great coffee, food, atmosphere and service. Overall a great experience and will definitely be back when I’m in the area.
