The term "Paris Syndrome" describes a psychological state of severe shock experienced by tourists…read more(in particular, first time visitors to Paris) who suffer immense disappointment from unmet expectations. Taste of Paris is not actually that bad. But it is pretty weird. The vibe is less Parisian cafe than hostile architecture. For one thing, there's a hole in the ceiling. It is not small. It's basically an entire missing ceiling tile. Like, there may be some kind of repair project or remodel going on? For another thing, it's rather dark for a coffee shop. It's dimly lit with very little natural light. And the walls seem green screen ready. Jarringly sparse but would make a great Teams background. All that said, the coffee is decent. I ordered off menu. A flat white, no sugar, no syrup. And it was solid. Which, in sum, leaves me at three stars. Two or below if you're drinking in, but maybe four if you're grabbing to go.

Second time ordered the choco banana crepe and passion fruit lemonade. The crepe was delish. Wifey loved it as it was the perfect amount. The lemonade tasted more lemonade than passion fruit. So I might skip that next time. Oh the crepe comes with a scoop of ice cream as well! Both times service was friendly, patient, and pretty quick. The place is fairly clean. There's extra seating but you have to exit and then go into another room right next door. Parking is tough but there's a lot in the back. Overall happy with the place and will be back to try their other options.

Great find. What a gem... Menu has a mix of traditional and novel snacks or pastries. The ice…read morecoffee is made fresh and comes in a can. Relevant View - Business Review calendly.com/relentviews

I have been driving by Vida Coffee Shop for the longest, yearning to stop in, not realizing Vida…read moreCoffee Shop is a treasure trove that is conveniently located in Franklin Square on Hempstead Turnpike at Monroe Ave on the North side of the street. So it finally happened!! I took the opportunity to stop in because I missed breakfast and wanted something small. Vida Coffee Shop advertises parking in the rear which is so relaxing because parking is hectic in this area. You can enter Vida Coffee Shop from the rear. That's a life saver for snowie days like today. Walking in I see, ambient lighting which sets a comfortable yet homely tone with a picturesque view of the Turnpike framed the dining area, clearly the result of thoughtful design. As I look around, I'm met with a chorus of enthusiastic greetings--'Hello,' 'Good morning,' 'Welcome.'" I instantly appreciated the hospitality and matched it in kind. The young lady that help me, Ms. Carina gave me the abridged version of the menu. I ordered a ham and cheddar cheese croissant, a sesame seed bagel w/ cream cheese and a 16 oz vanilla flavored coffee. While the food was being prepared I learned that Vida Coffee Shop is family owned and operated, 1 coffee shop, 1 year in business, and a Long Island Choice Award. Congratulations!! I've had ham and cheese croissants with Swiss cheese before but this was way different. The ham and cheese croissant had cheddar cheese, very delicious with a hint of cheddar, not drowning the ham flavor and flattened by a Panini press. The bagel was very fresh, and the coffee was nicely tempered. No scorching of the tongue! One piece of advice: with this extreme cold, dine in. Your food stays hot, and the weather won't steal the heat in seconds. Good-bye Star .... hello Vida Coffee Shop. I will return! I'm very happy too.... Inspire more, Yelp more!

My first time coming to this location I like it better than Rockville Centre…read more Very friendly staff nice atmosphere. I order avocado toast on sour dough bread no onions, capers or jalapeño peppers and a small black ice coffee with liquid sugar. There prices are reasonable great service food and beverage taste great. At one point it did start to get crowded but the line moved quick not a long wait for your order to be prepared. Nice seating inside and outside.

I'm not sure if it's only this location or if it's at both, but they have their regular flavor list along with a custom flavor list so I chose the toasted marshmallow mocha to go with my iced latte & enjoyed it. It's very small from the outside, I must have passed this store hundreds of times without realizing it's right there.

If Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls were a real place, Malverne would be a worthwhile rival. Grami is the latest coffee shop to open, and it's worth a visit! THE GROWS: There is on-street parking, but beware of where you park. Read the signage, since this shop is across from the LIRR, and feed the meters if you park there. THE GLOWS: There is stable wifi and it's free. Their coffee is outstanding. The first time I went there, I ordered an iced latte with coconut milk and added pistachio flavoring. When the young person handed me my order, she asked me to try it first to make sure I liked how it came out. It was perfect! Each time I've been there, I've had a different version of iced coffee, with the pistachio being my favorite. They will customize your drink any way you want. Another thing I noticed is how they have a wooden playset of a barista station in the corner for young children. How nice is that? The owners really take into account the young single person as well as families who patronize their business. Great move, Grami!
