I literally stood there waiting for my change for several minutes as no other customers were in the store & they just walked away & never came back. I was going to call them out on it, but figured if they needed it that badly to steal it from me they can have it. I would have tipped them a couple of bucks anyway after they handed my order over, but since they pulled this stunt I chose to not give them anything more. They definitely lost a customer for life. I'm never returning as the place was nothing special. What completely ridiculous & unprofessional behavior.

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!

I always like to try a different flavor iced latte when I go, saw the choco banana as a seasonal flavor on the wall and had to try that. Not only did it look good but it tasted very good as well. I noticed after the fact that they have a banana brownie which I'm sure would have paired up great with the iced latte. I'll have to stop in again soon to try them together!

I was in the area and decided to give them a try and I'm glad I did. There was only one staff member (a gentleman) working when I went in but he was super friendly, polite, and attentive. He even frothed the creamer for my hot coffee. I received my coffee, walked over to the small seating area available and noticed their wide selection of coffee beans just waiting to be grinded. The staff member noticed almost immediately and asked if I needed any help. Overall my experience was pleasant and I love the idea that I could get a decent cup of coffee while shopping for some groceries.

My friend ordered the Falafel Sandwich and a Irish Breakfast Tea. Besides the delicious food what else made this time at the Witches Brew extra special. Well it was our Waitress Sam. Sam was perfection from the start of the meal to the finish. She had the best vibes and attitude and wore the coolest looking Van's. Her customer service skills outshine many other waitstaff that I've encountered in the past month. Sam is another Great addition to the already amazing team the Witches Brew employs

Their pastries are top notch, both in ingredient and aesthetics, but beyond that I am most impressed with the customer service at this location. They stand behind excellence and ensure customer satisfaction, and it shows in their demeanor and action when something is not 100% up to par. If you're looking for something delicious and beautiful, or a piece of cake, tart, or mousse that will impress, this is your place! It's worth every penny!

And now an even closer location in Plainview! Pretty soon they're gonna open one right in my backyard or something haha. It is a lovely spot for authentic French-inspired pastries and coffee. I've had everything here including cupcakes, brownies, croissants, macarons, cookies, madelines, etc. I've also come here to get a small cake for special occasions. It is also a very nice place to come with friends and enjoy a coffee and pastries. The elegant, pristine interior with marble accents and beautiful displays creates a welcoming Parisian vibe. Perfect for a quick treat or relaxed sit-down. I love the cookies here, they're soft and chewy unlike the Plainview FWS I always leave with a giant bag of 5 of every different flavor of cookie(chocolate chip, nutella, oreo, pistachio, etc) because the texture is so soft and smooth. My new obsession is the fruits of the forest cake. So delicious! Its a must try!!! It gets packed in here, but the line moves quickly! If you haven't tried FWS yet, what are you waiting for?

I was excited to see there was a cafe on my route not too far away from Southern State Parkway…read more There was ample street parking, paid and free if you were willing to walk just a little. I liked that there was a huge sign on the door letting you know the establishment is cash-only. There were a lot of people in the cafe despite it being awkwardly late in the morning. I waited a bit and decided to order the Mandarin Earl Grey espresso tonic, which sounded really refreshing. The drinks were crafted pretty quickly considering there were two baristas making drinks and handling the register. I sat for a little bit (inside, though there were tables and seats outside). The baked goods, which seemed sourced from elsewhere, looked good, but I wished I had room for the egg tacos, which sounded delicious. My drink was summery and refreshing, the sweet citrus syrup complementing the smokiness of the espresso. The earl grey part was a little bit lost on me, though.

The guy who worked there was sipping on a corona as well. When I tried to order pancakes, the worker told me they did not have any. So when I changed my order for scrambled eggs and sausage, he waited about 5 min to tell me that they don't have that either. It was super sketchy and I ended up just leaving without getting anything. The whole encounter was weird and uncomfortable. Idk what's going on here and how they're still in business given they don't seem to sell anything.

I'd skip this place and go to A&S Bagels down the block.

While on a corner on a pretty busy street, the location seemed slightly obscure. No parking - just 2 or 3 spots in front of the establishment. We came mid-day on a gloomy Sunday in February...so we didn't have an issue parking right in the front. We were greeted by the friendly associate. There were lots of great-looking gelato flavors which the associate also allowed us to sample first (very kind). She was very patient with us and really seemed to enjoy working there. We're BIG hazelnut enthusiasts, so we each had one scoop of hazelnut flavor and one of the Rocher (hazelnut) flavor. They also had an amazing fig and honey gelato flavors which was absolutely delicious. They offer 4 sizes - kids' size, and then the usual - small, medium and large. The small is 2 generous scoops - and that's what we went with. The overall experience didn't disappoint at all; we thoroughly enjoyed the treat, my hubby had an espresso coffee as well (very good) and we got a kids cup of vanilla for our pup. The prices were also decent and for this type of experience, I will gladly support a small business. I definitely recommend checking out this little gem. Will return once the weather get warmer!

Visit Date: January 20, 2026…read more I got the LI cafe passport book from my co-worker for Christmas. In January I got to go to two coffee shops in this book, for five was the second one. I went with one of my friends. We both had the mochas and I had a shot of espresso because the book recommended it. The espresso was good, not overly bitter, pretty much just right. The mocha was amazing a good ratio of chocolate, coffee and espresso. It was pretty busy here and the atmosphere was nice. The snacks looked really good maybe one day I'll go back for a pastry. I give for five five stars and five beans and would recommend coming here if you like coffee shops.

l've rarely encountered such a rude and unwelcoming barista…read more I ordered a pour-over, but when I tried to simply watch the brew process, the barista was incredibly cold and dismissive, essentially refusing to let me see what she was doing. The elitist attitude continued throughout the transaction; she couldn't be bothered to tell me which beans she was using, and once the coffee was finished, she didn't even acknowledge me or announce that the drink was ready. It's a shame when a shop's "gatekeeping" attitude ruins the experience. There is no excuse for treating customers with that much contempt. I won't be returning to a place that makes me feel like an inconvenience for ordering a coffee.
