    Coffee time!
    Suzette G.

    Service was welcoming and friendly. The coffee--Burnt Caramel Iced Latte w/oat milk was amazing along with the blueberry lemon scone!! Yum. Great place to meet up or work on laptop. Family friendly, clean and quiet.

    Druthers Egg Sandwich
    Nathalia P.

    Incredibly friendly staff, cozy atmosphere inside and outside, and good food. I always get the Druthers Egg Sandwich from here; it contains no bacon (so not a BEC), but has egg, cheese, and toasted shallots that supplement the bacon (crispy and full of flavor). It's then topped with chipotle aioli, all on an everything bagel. It is so delicious everytime I order it, and I don't miss the bacon while eating it! I also loved their Lavender Strawberry Matcha Latte when I got it a while back (a Spring seasonal item unfortunately so can't get it during the summer). A great coffee shop by campus!

    This is a convenient cafe to go to from Stony Brook University. The ambiance is amazing--plenty of sunlight and plants. There are not a lot of outlets so I don't recommend coming here with a laptop to study although it would be great to catch up with a friend here or read. I believe the service is good--the cashiers are nice and they are quick to prepare drinks and sandwiches. I got the Spring Matcha Cloud and the Caprese Sandwich. The matcha was quite nice--fluffy texture and tarte! It's made with homemade strawberry jam and lavender cold foam. It's creative and yummy. The caprese sandwich was so refreshing. There was a generous amount of mozzarella and beefsteak tomato. I also liked how it's on focaccia and made with pesto.

    Came here after work from of a recommendation, and what a lovely cafe it is! This is the perfect place to meet up with friends, grab a bite before work/ class or for students to study too as they have a lot of seating inside & out. The staff here was really nice and offered good recommendations. I ordered the iced burnt caramel latte, it was delish! I'm apprehensive ordering flavored lattes because I've had more experiences with bad syrups before but this is a super subtle flavor! Price wise it's about the same as Starbucks but I'd much rather my money go to an independent cafe. I was bummed that the kitchen closed at 4 so I'll definitely be back. I hope one day the hours get extended :)

    Love druthers! They have amazing food and great quality coffee and lattes. My favorites are the druthers egg sandwich. All the lattes I've tried from here are great! They have a really delicious burnt caramel syrup.

    The Druthers Egg Sandwich lives up to the hype--crispy shallots, smoky cheddar, and a perfectly fried egg on a fresh everything bagel with a kick of Calabrian chili aioli. Every bite is flavorful, rich, and balanced. The space is modern and cozy, with friendly service and great coffee to match. A little pricey, but absolutely worth it. Easily one of the best breakfast sandwiches on Long Island.

    One of my favorite work spots in stony Brook. Only downside is that there's only a single outlet in the building. Luckily they recently added more sockets to it so at least 6 devices can charge, but it's still only in one location. Would be a game changer if they added an extension cord instead. Gorgeous natural lighting and yummy drinks, although they are on the expensive side ($1 for flavor and milk alternative). Definitely runs cold so be sure to bring layers. There's a big community table as well as 4 smaller tables and bar seating. Also plenty of outdoor seating that's hard to come by in stony Brook. Big fan of the egg sandwich and their cookies. Also recommend the new strawberry cloud!

    Matcha latte
    Stephanie T.

    Was looking for a coffee shop around Setauket and stumbled upon this right across from Stony Brook campus. It's a very big coffee shop with lots of tables for people to enjoy a coffee and sit and do some work/study. I got the egg salad sandwich which was really good. There was a slight spice kick to it which gave it the extra flavor. I also ordered a matcha latte which wasn't the best. It was all milk foam with no matcha flavor and also really sweet. Next time I will try a coffee.

    Place was full on a Sunday afternoon but we waited and got seats at the counter looking out the window. I had the matcha latte and a delicious blueberry scone. They can't heat the scones but it was fresh so it didn't need it. Prices were normal . Place is cute

    Came here for a goodbye breakfast after a wedding. Druthers is a cute, modern style coffee house with lots of indoor seating and some outdoor. Coffee and tea selections are unique and some food options. Mom and I split the egg salad sandwich which was just the perfect split sandwich for some protein and a light meal before additional travel especially for us with nervous stomach. Light, with an aftertaste that's pleasant of seasoning and eggy flavor. The focaccia was more croissant meets focaccia and really nice as were the crispy shallots. Mom got a chai latte with a splash of vanilla, her favorite drink and iced was a nice touch for a summer day. Honestly it's hard to do a chai wrong so this as good as expected to be. I got the jasmine silver needle iced which is one of my favorite teas for how the taste is on the after side instead of the first sip. Iced is perfect again for summer however the tea could have been steeped longer for more of a flavor to come out rather than just faintly flavored water. Still, refreshing all the same for recovering. Contrary I know, but I'm not gonna take points off. Tea often loses something when iced so no I can't fault them for that. Service was great though, they let me even smell one of the teas which was really nice.

    Great coffee! Pretty popular place, and I can understand why. It is likely the only place in the area that serious coffee/espresso fanatics will enjoy. Plenty of places to sit both inside and out. Ambience is nice, clean, modern, and bright. Service was friendly and efficient.

    coconut slushie
    Nicole N.

    I can definitely see why Druthers is so popular amongst the Stony Brook community!! I love how they not only offer a wide variety of drinks, from coffee and tea to non caffeinated options, but provide a cute space for those to study and meet up. The coconut slushie was delicious! While I've had coconut milk in my lattes, I've never had an espresso and coconut combo like this! It had a strong brown sugar flavors as well as a subtle cinnamon spice taste. It was mixed super well and had the appropriate frothiness vs iciness, perfect for the hot summer! The cold brew and shakerato featured solid espresso. The guava fresca was refreshing. Not too sweet but felt that the juice to soda ratio could have been higher. Their egg sandwich had everything I enjoyed. The jammy egg yolk and melty cheese complemented the crunchy fried onions. The chili aioli gave it a nice spice kick. I only wish that they used a better bagel. Unfortunately it wasn't crispy or chewy and its dough-iness made the whole thing a little too dry. The blackout cookie looked really yum and was packed with chocolate chips. I'm not a fan of brownies or overly cake-y cookies so I didn't end up liking it much but my partner enjoyed it. There are plenty of tables in and outside, although it gets busy real quick. Some outlets available but definitely not a lot. Wifi was pretty good and smooth. Staff were polite. Food came out quick. Excited to try other drinks on the menu!!

I ordered the French Vietnamese Au Lait along with a sausage, egg, and cheese on a croissant. I never thought I'd wish I lived in Smithtown until that moment. The coffee was absolutely divine, and the breakfast sandwich was perfectly made. If you're someone who isn't used to drinking coffee, do yourself a favor and don't order the quad version and then wonder why you're awake all night! It's delicious, but it's packed with caffeine and definitely lives up to its name. The café itself is clean, cozy, and inviting. It's the perfect place to study, catch up on work, or curl up with a good book. I ended up pulling out my Kindle and finishing my book club read while I waited for Hobby Lobby to open, and it couldn't have been a better way to spend the morning. There's a small parking lot, but I had no trouble finding a spot. The restroom was also incredibly clean, which I always appreciate. The customer service was outstanding, and everyone made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. I'll definitely be making the trip back to Smithtown for another visit. The coffee alone is worth the drive!
