1000/10!!! I've tried many many breakfast spots on Long Island and quite honestly this is one of my top ten! I've been hearing about Crazy Beans for years and I finally got to try them out last week! First off, the restaurant itself is adorable! Old timey theme - feels like a cute diner. We sat up at the bar, but they also have booths and regular tables. If you go to Crazy Beans and don't get one of their coffees, you're missing out! So of course we started with that. We tried two of their specials from the week that we went - Never Been Kissed and Clueless! They were both so tasty! Tons of whip cream and the syrups were delicious. For food we ordered the cinnamon swirl french toast and the apple cinnamon pancakes - YUM. The batter was absolutely delicious and both meals were huge! We had leftovers for the next day. Definitely a must try breakfast spot! read more

4 stars for selection of food 3 stars for price. It's high and nothing comes with fries. But they always have great specials and creative latte choices. Yesterday the shrimp Po boy and coconut shrimp wrap were disappointing. But in the fall i got a chicken salad wrap that was amazing. Their kids chicken fingers and fries are always a good choice for the kiddos. We went in the fall and then again yesterday. Both were okay. The secret for sure is get takeout and just eat it outside overlooking the gorgeous view. read more

Food was good but the girls that work there are not nice at all, especially Angel! This was our first and last time coming due to the service after our friends recommended to eat here! Actually all the staff girls were not nice at all. We made it over 20 minutes for our food after we ordered when people who sat down after us got their food before us which made no sense and when asked about the food and look was given, and which was not appreciated at all. Really sure reconsider hiring some new friend friendly staff that will keep that going. read more

We love their Americans traditional dinner style decoration and the tiny mall it is located. Their host was not friendly at all. We were seated by the restroom and we requested to have another table available but it needed to be cleaned up at that time. The host didn't take and just ignored our request. Their waiters were welcoming and served quickly. Their food was decent with affordable price. We had the cookie dough pancake and farmers market omelette as our entree, Mac and cheese with bacon and fried avocado as sides. The cookie dough pancake was delicious but more like chocolate chip flavored but cookie dough. Their portion of omelette was more than enough and full of varied ingredients but eggs were overcooked and dry. Sides were much better than entree, Mac and cheese were surprisingly creamy and chewy. Fried avocado with cajun sauce was the best. Overall, we would stop by if we are around by but definitely not come for here. read more

Solid breakfast spot. We stopped by for a quick bite and our daily dose of caffeine. The ambiance is diner-esque with Americana realia with cozy touches like different salt and pepper shakers for each table and funny oversized coffee mugs. I loved perusing through all of the latte flavors and settled on the classic iced caramel latte. The hubby got a hot coffee which he said was smooth and just the right temp. He ordered the pancake quesadilla and loved every bite. I asked for two eggs over medium with swiss cheese and crispy bacon in a gluten free wrap. The wrap was so soft and didn't break apart while I ate it, that was a first for me! I just wish the eggs were slightly less runny. Also, take note that you can pay with a credit card, you just have to leave a cash tip. We didn't know that and had to use the atm inside which was a bit of a pain. Most places nowadays let you add it while using the swipe card service. It seems a bit outdated. read more

It's okay.. I feel like this place is hyped up just because of the scarcity of restaurants/ brunch places around Stonybrook. But there isn't anything crazy about the food or the ambience.

Food is good. Terrible way of seating people. If you walk in and there are several tables or counter space available, you are unable to be seated. The maitre- d' must call others on a list to their cell phones, others who are in nearby stores shopping around. These people are not waiting outside the restaurant so it takes significant time for them to be notified and then get their act together to get back to Crazy Beans. Bad system!! read more

I've been here a few times with my friends and think this is a nice addition to Stony Brook Village. It gives off the small town vibe which I love and looks appealing from the inside and outside. Their decor and artwork is really cute as well. Their wait times generally are not too long. I've wait max 20 minutes during their busy times. They give you these cool electronic lobsters wait indicators so you can browse the outside environment. I usually get eggs or pancakes there. My girlfriend really enjoys their Lattes and tries almost a new one every time we go. One issue I do not like is that they don't offer any milk shakes. They craft beautiful lattes but don't carry that over to anything creamier and richer. Overall the food is good and the price is alright. read more

This is a cozy and snug spot for brunch. The food was decent but nothing mind blowing. Good mac and cheese and blended lattes. The only complaint I have is one of the girls who served us. Firstly, the BLT with avocado that my boyfriend ordered was missing avocado as well as the pickle on the side. As any customer would when they are served food misrepresentative of their description, he politely notified one of the servers about it: "Hi there, I don't think I got the pickle with my sandwich." The girl merely responded with "that's crazy" nonchalantly and in the most sarcastic tone, then walked away. A few minutes later when she came back, she just dropped it off on our table without saying anything and walked off. My boyfriend and I are very courteous customers, and usually avoid troubling workers as much as possible. Not only did she not apologize to us as most servers would, she was extremely rude and dismissive toward us. Nothing we did or said warranted that kind of behavior from her. To be honest, we were left astonished and speechless. The girl at the bar who served us our drinks and handed us the bill was very friendly and accommodating though. read more

Crazy Beans is my favorite breakfast/brunch spot. Everything I've had is delicious. They have the best lattes! SO good. The only downside is there is ALWAYS a long wait. Pre-COVID it was usually 20-30 minutes. We went once this summer when they had limited capacity and the wait was an hour. So just be prepared if your are hungry. It's well worth it though. They also put clear shields between booths are seem to be taking all safety precautions seriously. read more

Cute little location in the town of Stony Brook. I went here with my boyfriend on a Tuesday afternoon about 12 PM and they had a full house! They give you a buzzer so you don't need to wait inside (not much room to wait anyway) so we waited at the courtyard just outdoors, which is beautiful with a fountain and tables with umbrellas. Beautiful place to sit in the shade on a hot summer day. We waited about 15-20 minutes for a seat and were lucky enough to get one of the booths next to the windows. Menu + service: Large menu, easy to read. I thought it was nice that it has the history of the restaurant inside it. I didn't get to read it... unfortunately, but this was because the waitress had come very promptly to take our order! That being said, the service was good. As busy as they are, they keep the flow going and are available to your needs. Drink: Hazelnut latte. Very wide variety of drinks, you are surely to find something that you'll love. Much recommended to try their drinks, and I must say, they are very pretty. Ours were decorated with colored syrups that ran down the outside of the cup (photo). This touch was definitely nice for the aesthetic. Very pretty, but could be a little messy... nothing wrong with it though, since the mason jar cups have handles! I only ordered one flavor, but you can add up to three flavors in your latte (or order from their specials) Food: CORNED BEEF OLD FASHIONED with multigrain bread. I loved the bread, so many grains on the crust but not overwhelming. Absolutely amazing!! Corned beef was also delicious. Overall, great experience. Much recommended if you are in the area and looking for somewhere nice to go. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a while after hearing about it at a Yelp event. As we waited in IHOP Jay O. mentioned that "breakfast place" after looking through my bookmarks I said it's called Crazy Beans so we decided to head over. It's located in a small quaint village. Upon entering of course jammed pack. We were given a buzzer for when our table would be ready and were told it covers the whole village area in case you decide to check out other stores. We were seated in about 15 minutes not too bad. I ordered a caramel iced latte. It was okay nothing special. Jay O. Ordered black coffee he thought it was a bit too strong. Now onto the food! I ordered their grilled chicken pesto wrap with a roasted red pepper spread, cheese, lettuce and ranch sauce. It tasted very fresh and was good but honestly nothing special or anything to rave about. It was pretty pricey for a wrap no fries just one pickle on the side. I will say at least the quality of the food was fresh. So I don't mind paying a bit more for good fresh ingredients. I ended up ordering a side of their home fries which were tasty. Jay O. ordered corned beef hash with two eggs. He thought it was a bit dry but overall good. I sampled his dish and agreed. Good but just a little dry. Breakfast spots: Crazy Beans, Munday's and Maureen's Kitchen: The winner for me is Maureen's amazing food, great prices and plenty of food. It's not that I didn't like Crazy Beans considering how busy they were we had great service which is always a big plus for me. I'm not sure if I'll be back nothing really got my attention to want to come back. read more

Had a great time at Crazy Beans. My kids asked if they only sold beans and I can assure you, they are more than beans. I took no pictures, but I loved the Bloody Mary and everyone else enjoyed their coffees. Sometimes places with flavored coffee have terrible coffee, but we were all please. I got the cheesy sausage covered biscuit and was very pleased. They said I could choose which cheesy sauce I wanted it smothered in, but I went with the pepper jack suggestion and I'm glad I did. My husband and son got steak and eggs plain and loved it. My older daughter said the pancakes with cookie dough tasted burnt, but there was so much food, no one starved. We also got chicken and waffles and everyone loved the chicken. The service was the best. It was pleasant and quick. We went at noon and we were seated really quick. Much more to explore! My kids want to go back next week. read more

By far, my favorite breakfast place around my town! That's right, even better than Maureen's kitchen in my book! They have amazing lattes that are absolutely to die for! Their pancakes are light, fluffy and you can taste the homemade love in them! The loaded home fries were everything you could want for breakfast! The place is small so expect a wait - they'll give you a buzzer that works around the little town there so you don't have to wait inside the crowded restaurant. The menu shows the story of how Crazy Beans came to be which I thought was super cute - I love a small town business! They have a small counter you could sit at if you're dining solo or if the wait is super long. They accept credit cards as well. Definitely check this place out! read more

I'm an impromptu kinda chick. Had an appt & didn't eat yet. Heeeeey Cin whatcha doing? She said she had this bookmarked. Ok, Meet ya there! We started with the iced rainbow lattes. Excellent choice. It actually tasted like it's name. Like having dessert first! Cin ordered the hash & eggs & I ordered a crabbycake something or other sandwich. Which was pretty good. Just wish the crabcake was crisper. I also ordered Mac & Cheese with Smoked Duck. Yeah it's NOT on the menu, but the chef & waitress was like, how did I not think of this! It was delicious. Another waitress came over to tell us the chef made some extra & she can't believe how good it was. Not familiar with the area although I've driven through here. Great small space.

The food was not good, the burger we got had a ridiculous amount of cheese and it tasted gross. Second thing, they make you tip only in cash so they made us take out money from an ATM, pay the atm fee just to tip them and even then they didn't have spare cash. Place is staffed with 15 year olds, I think the oldest woman there couldn't have been older than 25. Bad policy because the owner doesn't want to pay his fair share of taxes.

I went in expecting a five star experience. My friend and I had brunch here previously and it was…read morefantastic. So ... we were on the waiting list for Schnitzels at 5 pm on a Sunday. They don't take reservations. After about 10 minutes my friend and I plus 3 teens (my kids and a friend) were starving and Schnitzels was loud and crowded. We headed a few doors down to Sweet Mama's. Seated immediately. My friend and I shared the steak with penne dinner special and a Cobb salad with grilled chicken. My daughter ordered penne with butter off the kids menu. My son got a turkey burger and his friend got a grilled chicken sandwich on a hero instead of a wrap. Now the good -- portions were huge! My son could barely fit his burger in his mouth and it also had a half avocado on it. They didn't skimp. Steak with penne was delicious and so was the Cobb salad. We all shared off each other's plates because everything looked so amazing. Now the bad. My daughter's pasta was elbows, not penne as indicated on the menu. Not a catastrophe but she was looking forward to penne. Then - my son's friend put some ketchup on his plate for his fries. It was ,.. not red but brown. The bottle had an 8/25 expiration. We are in April 2026. We told the server and she said it's because it's the "simply ketchup" with no artificial dyes. She offered him ketchup packets "with fake dyes" but by that point he lost his appetite for fries. We grabbed ketchup from another table, same brand, Heinz Simply. You can see the difference in color. We showed the server and she acted annoyed. I told her we didn't want anyone getting sick on that ketchup and pointed out the expiration date. She rolled her eyes and said "oh I'll just throw it away." She kind of had an attitude and didn't even apologize. So that's why 4 stars. We'd go back but request not to have that server. The food is fantastic but watch your ketchup! If someone put it on a burger it would have been ruined.

Not terrible, but also not memorable…read more Sweet Mama's is a hybrid concept tucked away in the adorable Stony Brook Village. On one end, ice cream. In the middle, restaurant, and towards the back, a bar. Surprisingly at 11am, for a table of four, we waited about 10 mins for a table. We ordered a variety of things, from soup, to bennys and a mimosa flight. The mimosa flight was very cute but mine ended up tasting just like white wine. The real disappointment imo was the Belgian Waffle. Now I know, part of this is my fault, for expecting more than what the description laid out. But for $12 I got one crispy and tender waffle with powdered sugar and that was it. No side of fruit, no home fries, nothing. Everyone else enjoyed their food, which I was happy about! And service was wonderful. But for $12 for one waffle, this place may be a biiiiiiit overpriced for my liking.

Empty at 9:25 in the morning. Perhaps nobody was up just yet, but honestly I'm not so sure if that's the reason...

I had the yogurt with blueberry filling, pineapple, and grapes -- it tasted exactly as it looks, clean and simple. The caffè latte used Paramount Coffee's "The Perfect" beans; the shot was dark and strong at first, but once mixed it became smooth with a slight bitterness. The chicken Caesar salad bun with onion rings had a simple, healthy flavor but the portion was a bit small. Banana foster was more like a dessert than coffee, with a strong cinnamon note -- the banana flavor was subtle due to caramelization. You can add espresso if you want. Downsides: despite the name, it's not a good place to study. A lot of people come to eat, talk, hang out, and play games, so it's not quiet. Price-wise, coffee and drinks are reasonably priced, and milk swaps or small customizations aren't heavily charged, but food portions feel small for the price. They have a restroom, are wheelchair friendly, and they mentioned they own a roaster nearby and plan to start roasting their own beans soon. Overall, a solid spot with good vibes -- just not for quiet studying.

Would love to sit there. FYI the lighting in the these pics doesn't do the place justice. It's much more low lit than it seems.

Mirabelle Restaurant & Tavern

The apps included: chickpea fries, Caesar salad, spicy tuna crispy rice, French onion soup, and jumbo shrimp cocktail. Entrees included: tavern burger, Monterey chicken club, cobb salad, fish & chips, roasted cauliflower 'steak', and lobster roll (either cold or warm). I went with the chickpea fries, which were very crispy on the outside and extremely creamy on the inside. It is coated in a layer of chickpea powder and then fried. It was very interesting and i'd order this again. It paired well with the harissa aioli. For my entrée, I got the beer-battered fish and chips. My fries were much thicker than everyone else's, and they also came with potato chips that tasted oily. I didn't love the fish and chips and wouldn't order this again, but my friends enjoyed their burgers, shrimp cocktail, French onion soup, and roasted cauliflower steak. Service was good. The wait staff checked on us many times to make sure everyone got their food and that our water cups were full. The outside of Mirabelle is beautiful, and we saw it being set up for a baby shower. Near the bar, there is a sticker machine that takes quarters and offers stickers featuring the Inn, espresso martinis, dirty martinis, and a burger.

Cozy vibes could not make up for mid food and inattentive service. French onion soup would have…read morebeen tastier if the broth weren't so thin. The overpriced lobster roll did not have any large chunks that would be recognizable as lobster but did have finely shredded mystery bits. Waitstaff cleared the dishes without asking; never refilled water glass even when requested; and brought out the wrong dessert. Try harder, Mirabelle.

There's a certain kind of magic in a well-made cocktail.

The place was super packed with people and very loud. It was hard to hear each other talk with the Trivia Night and music. Clearly this is a local town favorite!! I was very surprised at how hopping this bar is. Our food was good but they were clearly shorthanded for the amount of people there. So service was very slow and sometimes confusing, but the staff remained very pleasant, friendly and apologetic. There was also a mix up with our bill that was immediately rectified. Seems like a really fun bar scene place. So it that's what you're looking for then this place is for you!

I…read morecame here with my daughter and her fiance on the recommendation of a friend who has held a couple of different parties there. My visit was to get information about their Bridal Shower packages. As you walk in, my first impression was charming, no question this would be a perfect place for my daughters shower! Since Easter is next month, the restaurant was already decorated over the top for it! My supervisor at work has dined at The Country House during Christmas and no exaggeration, it is somewhere I could imagine you would see in a fearure film Holiday movie. Not one stone is left unturned, I saw some pictures and they were just beautiful! My appointment was with the owner, a very gracious man who obviously knows how to throw a celebration....detail, detail, detail!! You receive soup to nuts, the menu is superb! I was so impressed and excited, I wanted this so bad for my daughter, until he advised what the cost would be per person. Unfortunately for me, it was way too much over my budget, it was literally double the cost of anywhere else I have been to so far! But, I can absolutely tell you this, if I could afford it, no question my daughters shower would have been held at The Country House! I am going to absolutely dine here for an occasion one day, so I can review an actual experience next time!

Because of a misunderstanding that was trivial we were belittled verbally by the owner possibly. ( Really was just awful) so unnecessary. For privacy we wont elaborate.

I ordered a margarita and it was great, not too sweet and the right amount of alcohol. All the food we ordered was tasty and cooked well. My kids loved the Baja fish tacos (didn't get a pic) and I especially liked the carnita taco. Highly recommend that you make a stop if you're in the area for friendly service and easy, tasty food.

Yes yes yes! Loved seeing a YAAAS Tea in this shopping center when looking for something to do…read morebefore seeing the Michael movie with my friend for a girls night. I needed a little caffeine so I opted for my earl grey with boba only a tad sweet. It did the trick. My friend and I shared a banana pudding. That along with her espresso drink had her ranting and raving. I was extremely thankful they took our order right before they closed. Everything was lovely and happy to see some of my fav boba in Suffolk.

Yaaas Tea is my go to for boba because no other place makes boba like them! Their boba is made fresh every hour on the hour, is flavorful and therefore, tastes amazing! I was recently in the area (end of January 2026) for an appointment and had gift cards for Yaaas Tea purchased from Costco ($25 x2 gift cards for $39.99 - and there's sometimes sales on top of this!) so why not? I initially used their self serve kiosk to order but then realized the way the card scanner was placed, that there was no way to swipe my gift card into the reader which was kind of annoying. The employee who was there however, was more than kind enough to take a picture of my order and manually put in the order with the regular cashier at the front. I ordered a Strawberry Lemonade with Mango Popping for my son and he loved it. For myself I ordered a Taro Milk Tea with Boba which was delicious. For our food, I ordered a Turkey Egg and Cheese Croffle and an Egg and Cheese Croffle (for my son). Both were delicious, made fresh and very filling. Last time I had also gotten their cookies (very reminiscent of Tate's cookies) but when I inquired about them this visit, she said they were in the process of baking fresh cookies on premise! Super excited about that! There were a few tables in the front of the store and the whole store itself was clean, spacious and brightly lit. Plenty of free parking in the lot at the front as it's located in a huge strip mall. I will definitely be returning any time I'm in the area and craving a bubble tea and/or croffle sandwich!

Ordering through the kiosk makes everything quick and easy, and the staff always brings the food out pretty fast. My favorite dish is the pork garlic noodles. The pork is tender and well seasoned, but what really makes the dish is the green sauce. It adds a fresh, herby flavor with just enough kick that I end up putting it on almost every bite. I've also tried the egg cream coffee, which was rich and creamy without being overly sweet. The restaurant itself is clean, spacious, and has plenty of seating, so it's easy to grab a casual meal with friends or family without feeling crowded. Between the fast service, consistently good food, and reasonable prices, it's a spot I find myself coming back to whenever I'm in the area. One of my stony Brook guilty pleasures
