There's a new coffee spot in Melville called Mokafe…read more They have a large selection of brews , including Mango Matcha and Pistachio Latte. Besides the drinks there is also a wide range of pastries, food, and snacks. The place is new and modern and is very clean. It's a standalone shop with lots of parking available. You definitely have to try the pistachio croissant! Did not see any gluten free food choices.

It's Kafe time! Mokafe that is. This Melville spot is bringing the coffee vibes to ya (along with…read moreplenty of food options as well). My wife and I recently checked Mokafe out twice a couple weeks apart with each experience being pretty solid. Round 1 consisted of just coffee drinks which you'd expect to get from a place like this as the name has Middle Eastern connections to the coffee of that region. What you might not expect is the list of speciality lattes they have as they really load in some unique options (Kinder Bueno latte?!). My tiramisu latte was exceptional while my wife's Nutella latte also hit the spot. Round 2 we leveled things up by still getting coffee, but we also dove into some food options as I ordered the Turkish bagel with olives and my wife got the strawberry Nutella flat croissant. Starting with the sweet, that croissant was fantastic and definitely something unique. My bagel was also pretty legit though not a LI-type bagel as this was flakier with that olive spread inside many bites. Different to what I'm used to, but still quite enjoyable. What wasn't as spot on was my pistachio latte. Not a bad drink as Mokafe seems to handle their espresso well, but I couldn't really grasp any pistachio flavor. I'll try a different latte next time (plenty to choose from!). Before wrapping things up, let's tackle a few other important pieces. Setting is superb in the comfy (albeit green) booths and large amount of seating. It's definitely a cozy spot to sit and enjoy your cafe goods, though the music is sometimes a bit loud and kind of takes away from a place you'd feel like you could maybe get some work done. Pricing is pretty fair with a 24oz iced latte coming in at $7.50 which isn't too shabby with some places definitely over that dollar point. And staff were nice enough for our quick interactions, and they'll also bring out and/or buzzer when your drinks/food are ready which all occurred pretty quickly/smoothly. Overall, Mokafe is a delight. The setting is cool, the menu is sizable, the food/drink choices are pretty tasty, and the whole spot is rather unique to a coffee scene that honestly could be getting a little oversaturated so it's nice to see something different. I know a second Hicksville location just opened, so now let's work on getting one of these a little more east of Melville!

This is my favorite local deli especially for breakfast. I first discovered it when I was…read moresearching on the slice app for breakfast options. I ordered the breakfast quesadilla and let me say it did not disappoint, I've ordered the French toast, French toast with eggs and also their greek omelette. I usually call into order before I head into work and the food is made quickly and fresh! They are also open for lunch and dinner and have a wide variety of salad, sandwiches and paninis! They have plenty of standard seating indoors if you wanted to dine in or grab and go. The staff there are always so wonderful. Definitely highly recommend!

Idk how to describe this place in one review but I'll Try…read more The service is great, the food is amazing. They have so many different options for you to choose from. And I by no means mean this by a form of race, but Hispanics were charged way less than me but that doesn't matter when the food is amazing. I got a bunch of diff stuff. Steak, ribs, shrimp, chorizo etc. it's more of a take out than dine in unless there's a spot I know about lol. But the ambience is great. Everyone is friendly. Oh wait I also got shrimp amongst other things. I didn't get great pics of the food I got but decent enough. But I saw one lady pay $28 for 6 plates of food and I paid $29 for 1 1/4 plates. But that's okay because they have amazing food lol. Hopefully the acknowledge that people of all cultures come and should be charged the same price as regulars. The steak is also overly cooked, but it's expected to cater to their target audience.

They had a few hot dishes in trays at front as well , one with chicken and tomatoes that the customer next to me had decided upon. I stopped here looking for a business. I ordered a sandwich that was set up on behind the counter and looked yummy with toasted bread and meats. The Deli man was good and asked what and how I'd like it adding onion, lettuce and mayo. The location is in what I want to say is a business district area with many trucks and allotted buildings. It is near Farmingdale College and also their school of Aviation as I saw small planes flying over head. It does have (see pix) out door seating which consist of 2 round tables and chairs of where on this sunny day I sat to eat my food. There is an outside sign in front noting coffee. The prices seem fair and they do take credit and debit cards - with no extra fee attached. I lady behind the counter got me upon request, what turned out to be a fresh chocolate chip muffin. I also bought a small rice pudding that looks delicious. Its actually a spot kinda on the side lines spot that I think is worth stopping at for food.

There's a tiny little free parking lot directly in front with 4-5 spaces and some spaces all the way in the back which was very cramped and full when I was there. I ended up parking in the free spots next door (much more spacious) for the flower shop and walked over. This deli has a ton of choices ranging from sandwiches, wraps, ramen, breakfast items and breakfast drinks, hot food to go (charged by the lb), Korean food, pre-packaged drinks as well as homemade looking drinks (ie teas, smoothies). Honestly I was pretty overwhelmed at all the options! I ended up picking #16 which was a grilled chicken wrap with 5 egg whites and turkey bacon. The chicken (a bit dry) needed some sort of flavoring like a sauce of some sort but it overall tasted okay because the flavoring was mainly the turkey bacon. I also got their japchae to go for lunch the following day which was very good. When waiting for my food, I was chatting with who I assume was one of the owners, super friendly and sweet by the way! I'll definitely be returning to get the ramen again and perhaps one of the homemade drinks! P.S. They close pretty early (2:30p?) so that kind of sucks.

The birria was hands down the best. Juicy and flavorful with what you know is homemade dough, all cooked up in a pizza oven. The chicken and cheese was also very good but relied a bit on the sauce. The sauce here is great but keep in mind each one is 75 cents. I preferred the mango habanero - sweet but spicy at the same time. Plenty of seating available. No music playing so when it's not too crowded it's relatively quiet. The empanadas are sizeable and the staff is friendly.
