I look forward to coming back and enjoying some coffee and cake with my husband.

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.

The fam seemed to enjoy them as well. In all seriousness, this place has been here for a while, and there is a reason why they have stood through the test of time.

They make suggestions and don't rush anyone. Besides the food, my favorite thing about the bakery is that they are supportive of the LGBTQIA+ community. There is decor of a flag and pride knickknacks that always make me smile. It's important to know everyone is welcome and supported. If I had one criticism, it's that I wish it was a little cheaper. Eating gluten free is always so expensive. I know the labor is intensive and the products are pricier, but sometimes it would be nice to pay "regular" prices. Overall, this place is a win.

On my way out of a recent street festival in Syosset, I happened to pass by The Groovy Cookie's…read morebooth, where these gargantuan lumps of dough, buried in almost obscene mounds of chocolate chips, were screaming my name. Most of the time, when I drop a lot of money on a "boutique" cookie, I end up sorely disappointed in its over-sweet or way-too-crunchy character. I had just had a spicy Indian lunch and needed something to counteract the curry, so I thought I'd take a chance on a Groovy Cookie. The supersized Chocolate Chip looked a little overwhelming, so I opted for the package of normal-sized ones. I was a little concerned that these wouldn't be as soft and gooey as the large one, but as soon as I popped one out of the package, I was proved wrong. This thing felt like it was straight out of the oven. "Uh oh," I thought. "There's got be a catch. This must be one of those chemical experiment confections that tastes nothing like a real cookie." But after the first bite, my theory was shot and my cookie snobbiness was instantly humbled. "This..." I remember thinking, "is THE BEST chocolate chip cookie I have ever tasted." To make sure I wasn't overreacting, I found a friend to give one to and she responded the same way. I quickly folded up the package and stuffed it into my pocket, afraid someone else I know might see me and ask for one. I tried to make it all the way home so I could let my wife taste one, but by the time I got there, I had devoured the entire bag. Everybody has different taste in cookies. I don't like the crazy-sweet ones they sell in that big bread restaurant at all. I like semi-sweet and really soft. These tasted like (and had the consistency of) raw cookie dough, so much so that I had to double-check as to whether I was supposed to take them home and bake them! Your taste will be different, but without getting too overdramatic, as a total cookie snob who usually HATES the cookies that others will travel miles and miles for, I've got to say that these are well worth a try. Fortunately (for me, not the company), these aren't readily available at the local convenience store, otherwise I'd be downing a pack a day. The literature from the company doesn't make it very clear, but I THINK you can order these online. Also, the company's lit doesn't really stick with a recognizable theme or logo throughout, so you have to be careful to make sure you're getting the real thing. Have fun, and I hope you enjoy your Groovy Cookie as much as I enjoyed mine.

I cannot wait to order them again. We ate them so quickly, I didn't even take a picture to show my friends (and I take pictures of all my food)! Another great part is they do great work and can cater to just about any of your ideas - For example, all I had to do was give them a call, ask if they could make a paleo cupcake and voila!

Stopped by the Ice Palace after dinner on a weekday. They caught our eye while driving to our…read moredinner destination and many of us decided to save room for an ice for dessert. We were a family of seven and all first timers. Overall, a solid first visit. Ice Palace is located in Oakdale. There is a small, free parking lot behind the building. There are some tables and chairs outside for customers to enjoy their ices. This spot is cash only, so come prepared. Service was cordial. We also encountered the man everyone in the reviews is talking about. He wasn't rude, but wasn't friendly either. Right to the point of taking orders, filling them, and then handling the cash payments. No thank yous, you're welcome, or any other type of friendly chitchat or service talk. Serving sizes were generous, however, the prices did reflect the it. Ice Palace is definitely higher in price than other places. My husband and I tried the Lemon Line Ice and Peanut Butter Oreo. Both were plentiful, tasty, and refreshing. A perfect after-dinner treat. Ice Palace was a solid place to get some dessert after our meal. I wouldn't say we'd return everytime we're in the mood for ices, but if we found our way back to Oakdale, we'd consider it.

That may work at an old school Italian joint, but this is an ices place. There is just too much local competition to not treat your customers like they're valued. They'll go elsewhere. Ok, on to the rest. It has decent outside seating, but the parking is confusing and separated from the storefront. The selection is typical for an ices place, same stuff you'd see at a Ralph's. The prices are high. In terms of the actual ices, the scoops were pretty big and the flavors were good. No knocks on it there. That being said, I can get the same stuff five minutes down the road with a smile, so I'll take my business there.
