Who knew?! As an avid follower of their Instagram account @thecookieshopli, I stumbled upon the…read morefact that they actually have a storefront tucked away in a strip mall not too far from me. It was their IG post inviting followers to come down and grab a free slice of their vintage meringue cake that made me come to their storefront realization. That aside, this cute little cookie shop specializing in macarons, cookies, tarts and cakes. Upon entering, it's got a very warm, welcoming vibe. The friendly owner was there creating a beautiful masterpiece and happy to chat answering my questions about their menu. Everything looked so beautiful. I was given my free slice of vintage meringue cake and I purchased two macarons. I got creme brûlée and white chocolate raspberry. They were both yummy. I'll be honest in that little treats are a bit pricey for my everyday budget, but I can see splurging for special occasions. I would also consider ordering a cake for a special occasion. Their presentation is on point.

Cute, cozy, unique cafe in Selden. The staff there were…read morefriendly and helpful in explaining some Menu items. There is a QR code at the tables and they prefer you to order at your table, however we had questions and some items were not on the QR menu so we had to go to cashier and ask questions. There is lots of seating on the floor on cushions and mattresses, but there are also several chairs. When you enter you have to take your shoes off, which is not an issue, just wish they had a bench you could sit on to take off your shoes and put your shoes on afterwards, as that was difficult for me , as I didn't have slip ons. That's my only negative. Food was delicious . I tried a new beverage and the pistachio cake- both delish! It is located in a strip mall, so lots of parking. Prices reasonable

I was looking for something new & different and saw this place, off I went. It's a cozy, exotic…read moremiddle eastern vibe. Pretty lamps, carpets, chairs, cushions & poufs for seating. Tons of teas to pick from & some sweets as well. The young man working there was friendly. We placed our order & found a table. They do request you remove your shoes, hey I do it at home so no problem for me. I enjoyed a chai tea with rose & cardamom. It was very good, had a kind of floral light hot chocolate taste. I'm sure it's fun at night, I believe you can get teas for a group. If you want to try something different I suggest you try them!

There was something for everyone and when we thought we made our decision, we saw something else that interested us. I had a delicious oatmeal raisin cookie. I was only able to eat half, and I'm looking forward to having the second half later. My fiancé had the Tiramisu, my stepdad had cookies and cream cupcake and my mom had a cookie/tart. Service was very friendly! We sat inside. There are a few tables available. Yum!

Everything is fresh every day…read more I've been coming here for many years and I've never been disappointed. This is one of those old-school bakeries that I hope never leaves this earth. They do things the way it used to be done back in the day. Cookie trays and pastries, always stocked and presented with precision and attention to detail. The staff will always make eye contact and greet you as you enter and are happy to assist. They have a few tables and chairs set up for people to pop in for a few minutes and enjoy their feel for Italy. They offer a self-serve coffee station set up, but if you really want next level, order yourself a latte.

They also have adult ice cream flavors with alcohol. The girl working the counter was so friendly and patient with everyone wanting samples. While we were sitting and eating, she even came over and offered us a taste of the Cherry Amaretto after we tried the Coconut Rum flavor -- and no worries, you can still eat and drive lol. The owner came over and talked with us for a while too. Super personable guy who clearly loves creating new flavors. I requested a future flavor with coconut, almonds, and chocolate chips -- basically an Almond Joy ice cream -- so hopefully he gets on that, lol! I'd give the overall experience a 9/10 only because I could see seating being tough when it gets busy, but the ice cream itself is definitely 10/10!!
