I've been seeing a lot of videos on Instagram so I definitely wanted to try it for myself. A location in Albertson, NY is opening soon. There are some March exclusives available only this month. I stopped by on a Sunday around 2:00pm. There are two drive-through lanes and there were cars in both. The menu consists of iced tea/lemonade, coffee, specialty lattes, dirty sodas, and water. I pulled up to the drive-through window and ordered the Lucky Charmed Latte with the staff member. My husband ordered a hazelnut mocha iced latte. The drinks didn't take long to be prepared and were very yummy. I really liked the addition of Lucky Charms marshmallows and whipped cream on top of the latte. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but the latte had a good ratio of espresso and milk and it was very good. I definitely want to be back to The Barn in Merrick to try other drinks!

Highly recommend!

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.

Amazing presentation and very good taste. It came with a side salad, which was unexpected. The Yelp and personal recommendations hit the mark. They also had a number of coffee options, tea and pastries. The price was a bit high though. I get that ingredients and staff cost more these days, but $18.00 ($17.95) for a sandwich plus $0.72 "operation charge," plus $1.66 county tax, plus tip... too many mandatory extras with a high base price. Also, what's the operation charge? Isn't the sandwich price high enough?

Comfortable seating: - Cozy vibes. I would say the seating is pretty comfortable especially if you plan on sitting there a while to do work. Also, square/rectangle tables are a plus for me lol (as opposed to those tiny round tables that some cafes have). The outdoor seating area also looks really comfy! Bathroom: - 2 clean bathrooms. One has a changing table. Good coffee: - Great selection of coffees. Only downside for me is they don't have hazelnut flavor (hazelnut lover here) Food: - Definitely a plus that they have food. I like the pesto grilled cheese. Would love to see more lunch options. Outlets: - A couple outlets are available (I've noticed two not sure if there are more). That being said, come with your devices charged unless you can score the table next to the outlet!

The sweetness is like 2/10! I was sold at the very first bite of it. Its semi crispiness of triple berry top layer harmonizes with a slightly coarse yellow flour layer perfectly. Love love love. For $5, I will so go back for this. The carrot, zucchini, coconut, raisin and walnut muffin is another miracle ($4). The combination guarantees you a knockout. Nutty, sweet (4 out of 10 in sweetness), moist and crispy all in one. Layers of flavors. The only thing I would like to suggest is to label nutrition info such as calorie etc. Great service as well.
