The place stands out among North Shore cafes. It is the perfect spot for a pick me up anytime of year, especially because they make such killer seasonal drinks! There truly aren't any weak points on their menu, in my opinion. The coffee is killer, the baked goods are delicious, and the ice cream and unexpectedly FIRE. My go-to drink is The Founder. The staff is always super patient and sweet, don't be shy to ask for second opinions when torn on what to order. They know what they're doing! The atmosphere is lovely to work in and will have you taking out your phone to snap a pic or two. I love how they feature local art and sell home goods and trinkets. Lots to look at while waiting for your order. My only qualm is the parking situation, despite being out of their control. Tight street parking. read more

The Founder coffee at Karmic Grind honestly shocked me and left me craving more. I haven't had a coffee in a while that unlocked a new moment for me, and The Founder did exactly that. It was coffeey, milky, well-autumn-spiced and memorable. I can't wait to come back and order another one. Definitely worth the hype, and I highly recommend it to any coffee lover looking to try something special. read more

The hot and iced coffee here is great as well as the other beverages they serve such as the berry iced tea with lemonade and seltzer (called The Penny.). Comfortable ambiance that is well lit with nice decor. The two workers were efficient and their jobs well. They made great avocado toast! I am just taking off one star because it would have helped the atmosphere of the shop if they were friendlier in disposition. Not that they were unfriendly or rude, just very business-like in a place that has a local and quaint feel to it. But definitely would come back! read more

I was excited when I saw that this coffee shop had specialty and seasonal coffees on their menu but the salted caramel latte was sub par. It was too sweet and milky. Going easy on the caramel might help. I got the Founder to bring home for my boyfriend and that one was better but nothing special. Typical oatmilk latte. The store itself is cute and has plenty of seating, free wifi, and is dog friendly. read more

The coffee was really good but they don't carry coconut milk , also when all of America serves a regular coffee and a cappuccino in the same size there's no reason why this place should serve a cappuccino in a 4 ounce cup and charge six dollars. read more

This is a cute coffee shop that had a good variety of baked goods to get with your coffee. Had a banana muffin which was delicious, the penny and the founder. Employees were friendly and helpful. I'm not in this area often, but will stop in next time I am. read more

Nice cafe in Locust Valley. Perfect place to chill out on a hot summer's day. Friendly staff, calm environment, and old school beats. The Garden Club drink is iced matcha with lavender and rose flavors. It tastes sweet but not too sweet and really hits the spot. They also occasionally have ice cream and cones for serving as well as a serve yourself/community book cart. Take a book and put one back. Lots of good story books available for the avid readers. Cute gifts on shelves help realign the space to form the entry way and separate it from the dining area. The bathroom is at the back. Wall art is for sale. And two tables and chairs for outside seating. There's also a bar height table and seating by the windows. The radiator is there, so it might get a little warm in cooler months. Happy shops! read more

I wish I could do a half star but I guess I'll choose the 1 star... I went into this shop for an iced cortado with lite maple but was given an iced latte with heavy maple. When I expressed it was incorrect, the barista rolled her eyes & begrudgingly made me a new one. After she "fixed" it- it was still wrong; probably sugared to cover up the burnt espresso. The tables had crumbs on them and the whole cafe felt scattered and cluttered. Won't be going back. read more

Came here after a stroll at the Japanese gardens close by and what a cute place. My son is still obsessed with the dinosaur egg he got from here like 2 weeks ago. My cocoa was good and I'd definitely come back for some ice cream next time. Service was great. Like I said just what a cute place. Definitely recommend. read more

In my attempt to try out all local Long Island coffee shops like I'm trying to Catch'Em All™, I found myself drawn to Karmic Grind. (and my drawn I mean, I drove 20 mins out of my way to visit) Parking is street parking, but surprisingly easy to find a spot on a late Saturday morning. Despite the exterior, inside is plenty spacious with tables and chairs and merchandise and ice cream! There are quite a few delectable pastries to choose from, even Doughnut Plant donuts. Which is an immediate win in my book. But alas, I opted for just an iced salted caramel latte instead. Honestly, its one of the most luxurious lattes I have ever tasted. On par with the Burnt Caramel Latte at Druthers. Its a wonderfully sweet and salty caramel flavor in every sip (on account that it is actual caramel used in each latte!). And you know its legit when the final sips of the latte were just straight up salt. (so just be warned about that). But overall, I'm sad that I live quite a bit of ways away from this shop. Because its options are high quality and I am anxiously awaiting the next time I get to try it out! read more

Great stop for coffee, baked goods or ice cream right next to the Locust Valley train station. The latte was excellent and my 4 year old approved of the ice cream (they had 8 flavor options, he chose cookie dough). Very friendly service. read more

Adriana is hands down the reason I keep coming back! She's so warm and welcoming, and she makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. read more

I came here with my friend for our weekly Sunday morning debrief to try a new coffee shop. I got a lavender latte and I wanted an egg sandwich, but they were all out. The coffee was okay. I got a large (pictured) and it was kinda small for how much it cost. My friend got the avocado toast and it was just smashed avocado on white bread, like something you could make at home. As for the ambiance, I am not a fan off all the tchotchkes they are trying to sell inside. However, I do like the branding on all the cups and the large logo in the back of the store. read more

I love it here! The coffee shop is adorable, the location is perfect. I love sitting at the counter and watching the trains go by while I'm writing. The Founder is so good and tends to be my go to warm drink. Otherwise, I'm a big fan of their iced matcha! Just tried their breakfast sandwich and it was really good and filling. Consistent, friendly service and team, plus it's only a few steps from my office. read more

Karmic grind - Iced Matcha with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Locust Valley, New York

Came here between hikes at Shu Swamp Preserve to the Japanese Stroll Garden and it was great! A little pricy but warm and friendly staff and tasty food. We got there at the perfect time before it got too too crowded but you could see why it's so popular. There's a lot of lovely artwork and a small retail space. Great coffee. Pricy but it is Locust Valley. I would definitely recommend. read more

drinks are always amazing. pretty reasonably priced. cute environment, ambience. me and my dad come all the time. definitely recommend.

GREAT barista's, love the full flavor of the espresso. definitely a great spot for cultured coffees read more

The coffee here was very good. I had The founder, which is an oat maple spice latte. I thought the staff was really nice, but because of the morning rush of people I didn't notice when my coffee had been put out. I think this could be improved by taking the customers' names while they're ordering. I'm giving this place 4 stars because I thought the food was okay for the price I paid. I had avocado toast, which was just smashed avocado on a slice of white bread with a drizzle of balsamic. It was good and I love avocado, but not something I would go out of my way for. read more

Excellent excellent place. Came here looking for dinner on a holiday when everywhere else in the area was closed. Not a place I'd traditionally grab dinner from as its more an option for coffee, breakfast or lunch. But the food. Holy crud. It's fantastic. I ended up getting a whole bunch of stuff, muffins, coffees, non-coffees, donuts, other pastries. Unfortunately for my family, nothing made it home. I gorged and gorged until there was no more gorging possible. So fresh and flavorful. I wish this place was closer but then, it's better that it's not, as I'd never leave. Sooooooo good. read more

So the positive, very clean and coffee is fresh. The negatives: customer service could be better. The staff seemed like they were tired, and just didn't want to be there. They weren't rude, but could be friendlier. No hot Decaf available only in Iced Coffee, not quite what i was in the mood for but Surprisingly good!! Very smooth low on the bitter!! You have to turn sideways to walk in the front door because of all the merchandise clutter, thats not good. Definitely an issue if god forbid there was a fire. Street parking only. All in all not a bad little coffee spot! I would have rated a 5 if it weren't for these little fixable issues. read more

I don't like their coffee. It's not strong enough for the price. Very milky and iced down. Not tasty.

This place is very cute located conveniently by the train station. Also it is very clean and the staff is always amazing.The coffee is absolutely outstanding bold and smooth. I ordered coffee with a shot of espresso, sugar free vanilla and steamed oat milk (my go to). There is indoor and outdoor seating and also they have candles, shirts/sweaters and little Knick knacks for sale. read more

This is located at the most convenient place with a trendy and inviting storefront. The employees have always been friendly and helpful. -2 stars because the coffee is really not good - it's watery, even with added whole milk it's not creamy, and overall doesn't pack a punch. Kind of sad because it's 3$. And do NOT get the espresso. It's undrinkable. Haven't tried any of the desserts, so can't speak for that. Only good if you're in locust valley and in a pinch. But you could just head to LV Bagels read more

Karmic Grind is so much more then an incredible coffee house. It is a gift shop. It's is an art gallery. It is an ice cream shop. But most importantly it is a house of acceptance and accessibility. In addition to their incredible hand crafters coffee and tea beverages it is a place you can come, relax and create. The vibe the owners have created makes you want to come back day after day after day. Priced more then competitively with the big corporate shops you will beyond love it! read more

Unbelievable that you could could be treated so poorly in a food service establishment Which relies on customer satisfaction. Lovely store, very cute and Warm atmosphere, bought 2 coffees and a muffin. As we waited we chatted and looked over the variety of items for sale... even bought a pair of reading glasses but the women at the register were rude and made you feel uncomfortable. We were spoken to as if children being reprimanded. Not need to treat people like that ever! read more

Love this new local spot. Amazing tasting coffee, great desserts and the people there are super friendly. It's always a pleasure to stop here before work to get that extra boost. The banana bread is BOMB read more

If you want a small town coffee spot in the heart of the gold coast with access to antique shops, small town clothing stores, North Shore East Coast vibes and good karma check this place out. The coffee is definitely a bit over priced but you're paying for the ambiance and experience of it. Certainly not an everyday coffee shop for those on the go but a great option for a sit down, chat with your girlfriends and enjoy the people watching type morning. It's got a very homey and clean vibe. The iced and hot lattes are very well put together and they've got tons of options for milk / dairy / non diary choices. The staff is courteous and welcoming. read more

Amazing! They have the most gorgeous paintings on the walls, and the staff is so kind. Favorite coffee shop!
