    Tiramisu shaken espressso
    Weilu H.

    Came here after seeing ppl review it on TikTok and I was so curious. So glad we stopped by, the place was popping since there was a fair outside. The place is pretty large and serves more than just drinks. Service was really quick despite the crowd and the place smelled delicious. You can tell it's an old school design. I love supporting fellow Asian businesses in Long Island and I plan on coming back again for coffee or maybe matcha.

    Mocha

    I desperately needed a cup of coffee and Hard Bean didn't disappoint. Great place with cool decor typical of a coffee shop. Service was very good. Friendly workers there took care of me. Now for the coffee. I had a mocha and it was outstanding. One of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend going here, I'll definitely be coming back.

    This newish place was adorable and in prime real estate the corner of Merrick Avenue and the LIRR on Sunrise. I didn't expect it to have tables and chairs and sofas like the old Starbucks. The drink selection was good and unusual. I ordered a lavender matcha that was good, but not amazing. The staff was sweet, but there was a slight language barrier. All in all, it's a solid place to go for your coffee. I recommend Hard Bean.

    Pistachios shaken espresso

    I'm not usually on this part or the island but I had saved this spot for some time. I stopped by on a random weekend afternoon and it was quiet. Drink was strong and delicious. Service was attentive and kind. If this coffee shop was closer to me I would definitely be there doing some work or reading. It felt cozy but bright enough for productivity. If in the area I would stop by again

    As someone who loves going to cafes and trying unique drinks, I found the drinks to be delicious. There are a lot of options to choose from but the iced shaken espresso is my favorite, as there are plenty of cold foam options to choose from. This is actually our second time here. We enjoyed the drinks we got the first time so much we drove an hour to come back to try more drinks. Currently, there is a fall menu and we got 2 drinks from it-- pumpkin pie and maple matcha as shown in the picture. You can get the pumpkin pie with whatever coffee- we got it with the iced shaken espresso. It tastes exactly like a pumpkin pie-- imagine a PSL but even better. The maple matcha is also great- a balance of sweet maple with earthy matcha. Great space and ambiance to do work. The man who works there is also the sweetest. PSA: for all the matcha lovers, try the banana matcha it is so good!

    skinny iced latte
    Lisa T.

    I was i. the area, wanted a latte and found this place easily. Parking was plentiful. This is a cute place with plenty of seating to relax or catch up with friends. I got an iced skinny latte and it was very good and refreshing. I like supporting small family businesses so you should check it out.

    Tiramisu iced shaken espresso
    Amy G.

    The staff was very nice. The store is spacious and has plenty of seats. I tried a tiramisu iced shaken espresso which was good.

    Unfortunately, I didn't have a great experience here. The coffee shop is very nice, with lots of seating and a cozy atmosphere. However, I ordered a caramel iced coffee, and it was undrinkable. I'm not exactly sure what was wrong with it, maybe it was expired milk.

    Came here since it was one of the few "mom & pap" coffee shops open. It's a nice chill vibe inside with excellent & friendly service. The coffee was HOT and tasted fresh which was great. All of us enjoyed our drinks. Would come back.

    White chocolate iced latte with oat milk
    Sam K.

    Loveee this coffee shop! They have a lot of fun flavors on the menu, and there are usually some seasonal flavors available too. Some of my favorites include white chocolate, caramel, and red velvet ; (seasonal). The service here is also great, and I've never had to wait longer than a couple minutes for my coffee.

    spring matcha
    Chelsea C.

    Probably the worst matcha I've ever received from a coffee shop unfortunately. It's basically a cup of sweetened milk for $7. It's not even green. Major let down unfortunately.

    Terry B.

    Somewhat limited snack selection, but everything I've tried tastes great. Pleasant environment enhanced by music selection. Great stop on my way to the train.

The decor is bright, fun , modern, and staff is welcoming The menu is surprisingly versatile, offering everything from smoothie combos to beer, drinks, and solid food options. It's the kind of place where both kids and adults can find something they love, which is rare and refreshing. One of the standout features is how clean and well-maintained everything is. There's also a separate kids' area with staff supervision, which is a huge plus if you're looking to unwind for a bit while your little ones stay entertained safely. I personally chose to stay and play with my son in the playground area since he's still a bit young, and we had a great time together. It's nice to have that flexibility depending on your child's age and comfort level. Overall, I'd definitely come back. It's a fantastic spot for everyday visits and would be an excellent choice for hosting a kids' party.

The event we attended was a prepaid event but to redeem the food items we have to ask for them. There was a lack of communication and transparency whether there was unlimited coffee or tea or if the ticket only covered for one cup of coffee or tea. We would return for another event because it's a bit of a drive to get there.

    I went to my favorite açaí place, Playa Bowl! Today, they had $5 off açaí bowls for the national…read moreAçaí day, so I visited with my family. Since we always get their Pitaya or Green bowls, this was our first time trying their açaí based bowl. I decided to try their Nutella açaí bowl, which comes with strawberry, banana, and Nutella spread. Since I love blueberries, they let me swap the strawberry for blueberry which was nice. I could also choose a second base, so I picked their banana base, which I don't usually see at other places. My family got their Tropical bowl, which comes with pineapple, banana, and honey. The server was nice, and they made our açaí bowls quickly, neat and nice! What I love about Playa Bowl is that their base tastes amazing and is creamy, and the portion of fruit is great! They're usually around $16, which is a little expensive compared to other places, but it's definitely worth it. They have so many varieties of bowls with different kinds of base, the acai, Pitaya, green and banana. They also sometimes have seasonal bowl, which right now is the strawberry based bowl :) so you can try different ones each time you visit and find your favorite! My favorite so far is the Electric Mermaid, which comes with pineapple, mango, and kiwi on a Pitaya base. This location was great, nice and quiet, not crowded. If you haven't had a chance to try it yet, you should definitely try!!

    While in the mood for something delicious but healthy, I found this Playa Bowls location via my…read morehandy dandy Yelp app. It was only 15 minutes drive away so I quickly got directions and headed there. I'm so glad I did because as soon as I ordered, the line was nearly at the door. The word must be out about Playa Bowls.. which is a good thing! I picked up the booster bowl, which contains banana, peanut butter, vanilla protein, flax oil, spirulina & cashew milk. It's topped with blueberry flax granola, banana, chia seeds, and finally, my favorite.. .peanut butter. It was absolutely amazing. Next time I might add some honey but honestly, it was pretty much perfect as is. I really love how Playa Bowls leaves you feeling quite satiated but not overly full. Out of all the acai spots across the Island, I think it's safe to say they are my favorite.
