My favorite combo was the hot matcha latte and croissant during the winter time. The matcha was so creamy with a strong and sweet matcha taste, and the croissant was unexpectedly top tier. But I wouldn't sleep on their other menu items either (they brew very strong coffee as well). My addiction was fueled by this cafe's aesthetic seasonal decor, genuinely friendly service, and proximity to the train station. They craft such a well rounded experience for their customers !

I ordered a tiramisu latte with almond milk and a cheese guava danish, plus an apple pastry. Everything was delicious and the attention to detail is unmatched. A huge shoutout to Tatiana, who was so warm, welcoming, and well-mannered. She packed everything up so nicely and was chatting warmly with another customer about shopping at Marshall's, which made the whole vibe feel so personal and sweet. Such a great spot to kick off a new morning tradition. Can't wait to check out more spots in the work area!

The young woman taking my order was pleasant and had such a calming demeanor and voice. The vibes were nice in here. They're isnt much seating so I don;t know if people come here to work but they had two comfy leather chairs in the front complete with coffee table book. It was cute. I ordered the raspberry matcha latte with oatmilk. While making my drink the employee asked if I wanted to foam (I'm guessing becayse it wasn;t nondairy). I thought that was really considerate and a nice touch. I got the coldfoam btw. The matcha latte was delicious. The slight sweet and tanginess from the raspberry and teh creaminess of the oatmilk and the cold foam made it perfectly balanced. The matcha tasted good and grassy as it should. It was delcious. IN the area I'd def stop back in for the same and to try some of their other fun drinks.

The raspberry lemon muffin and the sandies are amazing. The sandies in particular are only $0.85 each so they're very affordable. The pastries were so good that we ended up getting a whole peach cake to go and it was amazing. The sandwiches were just okay. They are served cold, which I didn't expect for a caprese sandwich. The lemonade was satisfying on a hot day. The service was very quick. We found seats at the bar too easily. This is a grab and go kind of place. If you sit, it's probably a good idea to vacate or not take your time if you see a lot of people waiting since there is limited seating.

The blueberry scone was also good, there were so many blueberries inside and was not too sweet which I loved. I was hard to choose which ones to buy since the other pastries looked good as well. For other pastries, they had cookies, pies and breads. I would definitely come again and try other pastries and drinks :) their pastries were very affordable so I would recommend you to try if you haven't visited!

The atmosphere is lovely to work in and will have you taking out your phone to snap a pic or two. I love how they feature local art and sell home goods and trinkets. Lots to look at while waiting for your order. My only qualm is the parking situation, despite being out of their control. Tight street parking.

Some chairs had legs that were wobbly even broken. As an observation, looks like bus rider "traffic" waiting for the N6 will sit in the shop without ordering anything and wait for their bus taking up seating. If I had one thing to change during an evening visit, that would be the lighting. Too bright and sterile on the eyes instead of cozy low lighting. Perhaps something to think about? This place is definitely worth realizing. *The Review Guru Long Island NY

The atmosphere and decor were nice (especially the cherry blossom trees). The staff were overall pleasant.

The caramel flavor was too faint, so it mostly just tasted like a plain macchiato. I really like trying new local coffee spots but honestly, I would've rather gone to Starbucks at that point.

A tale of two trips is this review of Sweet Harbor Coffee with the results being the same:…read moreimpressive. You see, my coffee tastes have definitely changed over the years and at this point, Long Island has so many coffee spots to choose from that it can be tough to find ones that truly stand out. Despite one small (understandable) snafu with Sweet Harbor, I do think they're one of the better options out there. Now I haven't been to every coffee shop, but many seem to be using other brewer's beans and/or Torani syrups and it almost feels like I could save the money and make coffee at home with those same ingredients. So it's nice to know a place like Sweet Harbor is house-making most of their syrups. And it's great to find out (with a little research) that they concoct their own beans through a producing partner (Shared Roasting in Brooklyn). Maybe I'm too snobby these days when it comes to coffee, but if I'm spending my money on an intriguing latte (and the pricing at SHC is right there with any other special coffee spot), I want to know it's made from things I can't get on my own. Just sayin'. Speaking of intriguing, Sweet Harbor has a nice selection of seasonal special drinks, some signature flavors, and plenty of syrups to create your own coffee of choice. Visit #1 came at the end of August early in the morning with my wife where I went with a maple sea salt latte and was truly wide-eyed by the fantastic balance of coffee and maple flavor with that hint of saltiness. My wife's vanilla latte was also spot on. Visit #2 was when their fall menu was up and running so I went with the salted pumpkin shaken espresso which blew the doors off of my tastebuds (if tastebuds have doors). These drinks were truly stunning in creating something that perfectly combined both bitter and sweet. In that bitter and sweet mindset, I'll say the staff definitely falls into the sweet category. Smiles and bustling baristas can be seen behind the counter. The one bitter snafu I previously mentioned? The place is just not that big (although cute in its quaint interior feel) and the hype seems to be real because there might just be a line out the door when you get there. That August trip we were lucky and almost walked right up to order, but that more recent trip had me waiting about 15-20 minutes between the line and getting the drink. Though honestly, I'd wait again...and again. It's worth it. Overall, I won't preach that I'm a coffee connoisseur or that I've tried all the trendiest coffee shops on LI, but I will say that my standards have gotten high and rightfully so. Why spend your hard earned cash on some coffee that only looks great in an Insta post but was made from syrups and coffee you can buy at the grocery store? How about having some original coffee, unique syrups, and focusing on flavor instead of looks? If that sounds good to you then Sweet Harbor Coffee is going to be a winner in your brewing book. If you're not into that, stay home and make that line shorter!
