    This was my first visit to Ground Central, and it definitely will not be my last. The staff were friendly and I loved the laid-back atmosphere. The space was clean, well-organized, and had different sections where you could dine while reading a book or working on your laptop. It's the perfect spot to grab a quick bite or sit and chat with a friend. I enjoyed my Iced Coconut Matcha Latte and the Egg Frittata Sandwich is my new obsession (so good!) I will be coming back in the near future. If you're in the area, stop by. If not, it's worth the drive.

    Matcha latte

    Ground Central is my go to for all coffee/tea drinks!! My favorite is Matcha Latte with extra Matcha but everything I've ever ordered has been top notch and superb quality. Now let's talk about the staff, always friendly and knowledgeable. Love the vibe!! Customer for life here!!

    Large Latte

    Cute little coffee spot with the best cozy vibes The latte was so smooth and delicious, and the ham & cheese croissant? Perfectly flaky, warm, and just everything you want in a bite. Definitely coming back

    Latte

    Overall: easy space for me to sit and talk with friends! The coffee was okay they were training a new barista so my milk was a lil burnt, the service was super nice! Inside: lots of seating and space. Might be harder to sit when its the weekend / friday afternoons. Cozy comforting lounge like but also has regular tables. Little loud Food: nice quick place for some pastries just ask for it warmed! Had the croissant which wasn't crazy just a easy quick bite. Coffee was a little burnt with the milk being very foamed probably because the barista was just being trained so i think it would be fine when they get to practice a little more!

    iced chai latte

    deducting points because I honestly was not a fan of the drink. it was a rlly grainy chai latte and I would not go back for more. that being said the vibes are def great, and looks like a great cafe to get some work done. Maybe order something else though

    Bourbon Caramel Oat Latte

    Atmosphere definitely gives library vibes but still chill enough to have a meetup with friends. Really enjoyed the Bourbon Caramel Oat Latte and looking forward to trying another unique drink. Shared parking lot with other businesses so parking on a busy day could be challenging but luckily haven't encountered that.

    Love love loved this coffee shop. Such a calming and beautiful small coffee shop in Long Island. Decor is the look of a library. Perfect for a study date or coffee date. Service was great, the baristas were all very friendly. I ordered the hazelnut latte and it was so delicious. Made to perfection. Also must try the egg frittata-wowwww best egg sandwich. You'll thank me later. Recommend the visit

    Almond milk latte

    This is my, by far, favorite coffee shop to grab a (strong) cup of java, or to spend some time working on my doctoral dissertation or Yelp reviews. The staff is always friendly, accommodating, and I have NEVER had my order done wrong. Their Lynbrook location has a large table to co-work at, and there is always great music playing overhead (anywhere from typical acoustic coffee house music to 80's punk, to off the grid Indie/grundge. They also have some classic vinyl records on display. Comfortable couches, wingback chairs, tables, and bar seating looking out the front windows finish the overall aesthetic of this place. If you've ever been to Seattle and remember the original coffee houses of the 1990's, this spot nails it. Don't go to that "other" coffee place--get a cup of REAL coffee without chemical flavorings, meet some great people, hang out with local folks, and read, work, or just "be" with a cup of the finest coffee around.

    This is a perfect place for a coffee date with a friend or go on your own to enjoy delicious drinks! The atmosphere is super cozy. I went on a Wednesday morning and it was packed (which is a good sign). The coffee was made just right. The food was good as well. Definitely recommend this spot for your next coffee break.

    Line to order

    Such a trendy spot. I loved the decor and vibe right away. So many murals, art and decor detail that was put into this space to make it really unique. When I arrived there was a long line but it moved pretty quick. I ordered an iced latte and frittata sandwich. Both good. I think the frittata sandwich could benefit from a spicy or some kind of aioli sauce but that's my only critique. Portion was great for the price and it came with a spinach side salad! Overall, I would recommend.

    Mocha Latte
    Irene C.

    ..Wow. I've only ordered their Mocha Latte and it's the BEST one I've ever had. They truly craft each drink...not just make. With that being said, don't expect your drink to come out a minute after you purchased it. Love the look and feel of this spot. They offer free WiFi and there's definitely enough seating space. They do offer sandwiches, muffins, bananas... they look so good but I'm tryinggggg to watch what I eat.

    Matcha latte - A matcha latte with green tea flavor and foam art in a black paper cup is shown on a gray table. The foam art features a symmetrical leaf or tulip design. The cup has a logo or text on it, and a blurred dark object is visible in the background.

    There are multiple locations of Ground Central in New York City, but I went to visit the one in Lynbrook. It is located in a shopping center so there are plenty of parking spots. It wasn't too busy on a Friday around 8am. The cafe is very cozy and has a bookstore vibe. There are plenty of books and board games on the bookshelves. The chairs are loungey. The space is great for catching up with friends or to work. There is a display of pastries right next to the cashiers. The drinks come in small or large. I had a small matcha latte. They asked what type of milk I wanted and sweetened or unsweetened. It tasted great, had great matcha flavor, and was not bitter. Ground Central is a great addition to the neighborhood and it is right by the LIRR so stop in and grab a drink or pastry!

    Nice local coffee shop with great desserts and a great variety of other drinks. The service is ok, quick but not terribly friendly.

    Ask the Community - Ground Central

    Do they have an order ahead if version?

    Do they have wine?

    Yes they do. Small bottles just right for relaxing after work or for any occasion.

    Is this a good place for studying?

    Yes. I’ve seen many a person studying in their own safe space. Get there early for a coffee and scope it out. Even the walls are reminiscent of School Blackboards with amazing art work. You’ll like it!

    Are the espresso and coffee beans organic?

    The coffee beans are from La Colombe which is a fair trade company. Feel free to look on their website for more details about the coffee.

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!
