What I appreciated about the cafe mocha was that it wasn't overly sweet. Service was quick and friendly despite it being so busy.

Hampton coffee, I beg of you - please come closer up the island! We're dying in a wasteland of…read moreStarbucks here! On our way out on the east end, I spied this coffee shop and vowed to hit it up on my way home. I asked the barista about the brown sugar cinnamon special and she said it was very popular. Another woman grabbing her coffee order piped in that she got it for her friend recently and she loved it. Sign me up! Medium with oat milk, please. They do upcharge for milk subs still here, sigh, this end of the island I guess to be expected but this coffee was absolutely delicious. I also grabbed three chocolate chip cookies for the kids, who gobbled them up and didn't save me nary a bite. While I can't speak to the cookies personally, I'll take the crumbs as a sign that they were excellent. The location itself is bright, clean and spacious with ample parking and clean bathrooms. I think I might have to take another long drive for the coffee and farms before fall is up. They even have a container of milk bone treats for your pup which my daughter was super excited to bring home to our dog. How sweet! Thanks Hampton Coffee!

They said we can have them with us on the patio (which is covered from the rain)! So we sat down and split the delicious burger and fries while the doggies laid at my feet. The staff even brought a pie plate with water for them. Highly recommend.

Great place for a bite !…read more I stopped in with some friends at LLK for a casual dinner while a street festival was going on outside. A good selection of delicious looking items on the menu. I went for the signature LLK burger ($19). Good presentation, generous portions and the fries were amazing! The burger was cooked exactly as requested it (medium rare). Though, I wish the burger had a little more pizzazz in taste and flavor. Other items that were ordered on the table included the turkey burgers, and risotto. My friend commented "that's the best risotto I've ever had" Service was friendly , attentive and welcoming. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos of food or menu for you to view. The dreaded iphone on charger was to blame. Overall, a wonderful dining experience. And I would definitely return again. Definitely give love lane kitchen a try.

I stopped by during my drive out east and ordered a Nutella toasted marshmallow latte. The cup was…read morelined with Nutella and topped with toasted marshmallows. It's more of a sweet treat than an everyday coffee, but they had many other options for everyday coffee. Along with my coffee, I ordered a corn muffin and a chocolate muffin. The muffins were big, not dry and perfectly sweet. All of the bakery items looked amazing. They also serve sandwiches which I plan to try next time. They have many tables inside, as well as outside tables during the warmer months. I highly recommend stopping here on your way out east.

They always warn you (they being Yelp CMs and the like) about making sure to post those pics in…read moreyour camera roll. I really do take far too many photos, but it's helpful because then I remember there are spots I may have forgotten to write up like Macchiato Espresso Bar. I visited this cute Mattituck location back in late August and the results were pretty tasty. You see my wife and I were looking for some coffee and a place that's different than what we've often found on the North Fork and so MEB popped up as an option. Not a ton of reviews were posted, but from the ones on Yelp (and dare I say Google too) made it seem worthy of stopping. The worthiness is definitely there because Macchiato has a nice array of coffee options as well as pastries and more elaborate edibles (sandwiches, salads, etc.). You can find everything on their menus though you won't find too much else inside as the place is definitely small. A couple of tables, some fridge drinks and pre-maid foods, and an area of swag and other items is the entirety of the interior so don't expect any true cozy feels. But hey, you can't drink cozy (well maybe in the Fall/Winter), and so let's turn our attention back to the name of this place and focus on coffee. I went with an iced latte with vanilla while my wife tried the iced chocolate (as it was written on the menu). For me, I liked mine. Nothing negative to necessarily say about it as it had a good coffee kick, but when my wife felt like hers was a little too heavy in the bitter bang before the chocolate took over, I decided for us to switch drinks as I thought the iced chocolate was delightful (I do like my coffee a little stronger). Before finishing up, I do want to mention that we were a bit hungry and so one of the chocolate croissants in the display case made its way into our possession. The funny interaction my wife had with the friendly staff member ("Is that a chocolate croissant?" "You know it is!") added to our excitement and oh did it pay off as it tasted delicious. Overall, Macchiato Espresso Bar had a lot to like. Perhaps they're a little small, but they pack some good coffee and pastry/food choices in an area that really doesn't have a ton of options. I'd definitely return another time when out east and in search of my morning cup of joe along with a desire for a bite to eat. And with that I can now post some very belated pics with this review so the CMs stay off my back!

My only disappointment is that they only serve breakfast and lunch, and not dinner. It is a culinary teaching program, and they have limited hours. Their Spring 2025 semester is closing soon on May 15, 2025. It is open Monday to Friday, 8:30 A.M. to 3 P.M. Breakfast is served from 8:30 am to 10:30 am Lunch from 9 am to 2 pm. Twenty-four of us had our monthly luncheon there in April. Everyone raved about their order, and many have been back since bringing their friends. Downtown Riverhead is welcoming to shoppers with ample free municipal parking and increased security. The facility is accessible through the rear door adjacent to the Municipal lot behind 20 Main Street.Our group asked to come back in May. The staff is friendly, the food terrific, and the facility clean. If you walk towards the rear entrance, you will see students working with their teachers. The entire kitchen is on view. Once you place your order, you can wait in the adjacent room looking over Main Street. Staff will bring your order to your table. I failed to mention their selection of desserts and gelato. Not all cakes are available daily since the students learn to bake specific cakes as part of the curriculum. They make a flourless chocolate cake, which is amazing. Their days of operation follow the schedule of Suffolk County Community College.

If you are in Riverhead or touring some of the vineyards on the North Fork, you should hit this place. We drove by on the way back from afternoon golf on a Friday. From the size of the crowd, I thought it was a Beatles Reunion Concert or something. The locals told us that it is REALLY GOOD, but evening waits can easily exceed an hour. Parking looked tough. We dropped by the next day around lunch time. No line, easy parking. The menu board has over 40 flavors, which include some intriguing ones such as honey cinnamon, honey lavender, blackberry ginger, avocado coconut. I did the cinnamon, the wife opted for the lavender. They were REALLY UNIQUE AND REALLY GOOD. My daughter has some food allergies, and we were impressed by the careful listing of potential allergens on the menu list. Next time I'm out on the east end of Long Island, I'll be going there again and getting some quarts to go. I just advise you to either go off-peak, or be prepared to hob-Nob with a lot of locals for a while in line.

By far the best ice cream on the North Fork. I'm still licking the butterfat from my lips.read more
