I had an amazing experience at East Rock Coffee in Island Park! From the moment I walked in, the…read moreatmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. The ambiance strikes a great balance between cozy and modern, creating a comfortable space to enjoy your coffee. The coffee itself was outstanding rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their ingredients. I also tried some of their food, which was just as impressive and paired perfectly with my drink. What truly made the visit special was the exceptional service. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making me feel right at home. It's always refreshing to find a place where both the products and the people leave such a positive impression. If you're in the Island Park area and looking for a great coffee spot with delicious offerings and a relaxing vibe, I highly recommend East Rock Coffee. I'll definitely be coming back!

It's the kind of smell that instantly tells you you're about to have a great day. Our afternoon tea experience started with chilled water and refreshing peach iced tea being brought to the table when we were seated. Then the food started arriving, with our first pot of Darjeeling tea. Fresh baked orange cranberry scones were buttery, and tender with bright citrus flavor and bursts of sweet tart cranberry. Slathered with their homemade Devonshire cream and fruit preserves, every bite was rich, silky, and absolutely heavenly. The mixed berry salad cups were fresh and vibrant, combining crisp mixed greens with juicy strawberries, plump blueberries, perfectly roasted lemon pepper chicken, and a sweet, tangy fig balsamic dressing that tied every flavor together beautifully. The mini feta arugula quiche had a flaky, buttery crust filled with creamy egg custard, salty feta, and peppery arugula for the perfect savory bite. Dessert was every sweet tooth's dream. The chocolate ganache thumbprints were rich, fudgy, and decadent, while the crumb cake was incredibly soft with a thick buttery cinnamon crumble that tasted just like it came out of Grandma's oven. To end the experience, we were offered a second pot of tea and chose the Red Velvet Tea, a smooth, subtly cocoa blend with hints of raspberry that paired perfectly with dessert. For just $39, this afternoon tea feels like one of Long Island's hidden gems. Whether you're celebrating, catching up with friends, or simply looking for a cozy afternoon escape, this is an experience that's worth slowing down for.

UPDATE! This is…read moreintended to serve as a reminder that TETE A TETE Cafeteria is not just another coffee shop, it is different and its standards must remain on a higher level. My first visit to Tete a Tete was 8/19, I was reeled in by the aura, elegance, and the enthusiasm from Aiysha, a remarkable employee that gave me exemplary service that made me return. 5/5 My second visit to Tete a Tete was 8/30, another astounding visit. Jamie was my customer rep. He set the fanciest tea set before me so that I can sit and enjoy it. And his customer service exceeded all of my expectations. 5/5 and an additional 5/5. We even indulge in a little conversation just to follow suit with the theme. I was compelled to purchase more products. My third visit was on 8/31. My order was all wrong and the finest of tea sets were not set before me. So, compared to my previous experience, I am going to give that service a 1 1/2 star. There was no consistency that was displayed, to be number one or to be different, if you start with stellar service, you have to end with stellar service. I did see a lot of distraction on that day, but I won't call it out. Let's talk about the grand opening and this is where improvement is needed. Jamie was on sight and I guess that kept the energy and the level of customer service above par. I strongly believe that if he was not present, things may not have been a total success. So, there was a big crowd, and I am ecstatic that I was on site to witness. Jamie greeted me by name and that shows that he knows his customer on another level and took time to build that relationship. Bravo Jamie. You are the initial pivotal point on why I return. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant with the americano drip, French vanilla and I asked for extra syrup, just because. It was by one get -50% off second. Jamie was kind enough to make the second cup at my request. As I was taking my time and eating and I am almost done with my breakfast, another worker comes and grabs my plate while I have another bite on my plate. There is no situational awareness here. I am pissed now because why are you just taking my food? I grabbed the last piece and told her that she can take the plate. She then reaches over me for my napkins to throw them away. I am like, I need those. How rude! 3 out of 5 only because of Jamie. The final rating is 3 stars. There are serious improvements needed. They have 1 more day of the grand opening, I sure hope that they get it right. Inspire more, Yelp more!

(Look for the marquee for Frantoni's Pizza, and The Early Bird Cafe is located right next door). There is signage on their entry doorway. Thanks to fellow Yelp Elite friend Ray N for introducing me to this cafe! I never would have known about this place had he not suggested to go! Thanks also to owner Jin and his staff for the warm & friendly hospitality. This cafe is so modern & welcoming; with a homey feel! We met and chatted with a few fellow customers while we were there. (Shout-out to Justin, Christine and little cutie Miles!) What a pleasure to be there! The Early Bird Cafe is small but don't let the size fool you. They have an array of offerings: - Coffees/Lattes (hot & cold) - Teas (hot & cold) - Milk Teas - Fruit Slushies - Fruit & Yogurt Smoothies - A nice variety of pastries (ask them th heat it up for extra goodness!) - A unique menu of hot foods (see my menu photos). They offer an array of Chiabatta Sandwiches as well as regular sandwiches and Croissant sandwiches; all with tasty fresh ingredients. On this 1st visit, I had: - Hot Cafe Latte ($5.25): This hot & flavorful latte really hit the spot! It was served in a nice ceramic mug which somehow made it taste even better. lol - Fried Egg Sandwich with a side of potato chips ($10.95): It usually comes with 2 fried eggs but we added an extra egg. It also came with arugula, tomatoes, melted Swiss cheese, with a delicious garlic aioli sauce; all on a fresh Chiabatta roll. This egg sandwich was plentiful and stacked with such fresh ingredients! It was delicious and so satisfying. I could only finish half, and took the other half to go. I ate the other half about 4 hours later and it held up pretty well; still fresh & delicious! Recommended! Their food menu has so many great choices! I look forward to a return visit to try their other menus items, as well as their other coffee items! Like I mentioned, this is definitely a hidden Gem! Recommended!!
