Great coffee. Not far from the airport. A lot of food and drink options. Good vibe, seems to be a popular neighborhood spot. Their pastries and bagels were excellent. Customer service was nice and attentive. read more

I was excited to see there was a cafe on my route not too far away from Southern State Parkway. There was ample street parking, paid and free if you were willing to walk just a little. I liked that there was a huge sign on the door letting you know the establishment is cash-only. There were a lot of people in the cafe despite it being awkwardly late in the morning. I waited a bit and decided to order the Mandarin Earl Grey espresso tonic, which sounded really refreshing. The drinks were crafted pretty quickly considering there were two baristas making drinks and handling the register. I sat for a little bit (inside, though there were tables and seats outside). The baked goods, which seemed sourced from elsewhere, looked good, but I wished I had room for the egg tacos, which sounded delicious. My drink was summery and refreshing, the sweet citrus syrup complementing the smokiness of the espresso. The earl grey part was a little bit lost on me, though. read more

This is the most adorable coffee shop. The staff are so nice. The coffee is so delicious.

Looking for a local coffee shop when in the Malverne or Rockville Centre area? Then Kookaburra is for you! I visited their Malverne location on an oddly chilly August morning while waiting for my car to get its annual inspection at my nearby mechanic. Outside the entrance, there is a picnic table and some other seating for those who prefer to be outside. There is a rear entrance where the parking lot is, which is convenient for those colder months when you don't want to walk around an entire building to get to a front entrance. The ambiance is welcoming and the staff I dealt with were all smiling and happy to greet customers. The young person who made my latte was helpful answering my questions about their drink menu. I opted for an almond milk latte with one of their homemade syrups: lavender shortbread. I also ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese danish, which sounded interesting. GROWS: This is a cash-only business (hence, deducting one star). It cost me $8.95 for a bacon-egg-cheese danish and a large almond milk latte with one of their specialty syrups, so I am glad I had cash on me. They didn't offer to heat up my BEC danish; it was cold when I bit into it. At that point, I didn't have them warm it up for hygiene reasons (would you want your stuff reheated in a place where they put an ABC piece of anything???). As such, I couldn't properly assess the delicious factor, so if you try it, or anything else that should be served hot, ask them to warm it. Parking is on-street or you can use the lot in the rear. BEWARE: This lot is permit-only or metered in most spots. Read the signage carefully. GLOWS: They offer free Wi-Fi, which is pretty stable. There are outlets spaced throughout, so if you are looking to do some work here, they can accommodate your needs. There is comfortable seating for groups of 4, or smaller 2-person tables along the wall. There is also a counter area where there are 3 stools for those who want to sit solo and read, or watch the baristas work their magic. They have a wide variety of danish, muffins, and even offer huge NY bagels with different kinds of spreads. This venue is well-maintained and spotless (this Virgo loves order, cleanliness, and good hygiene! LOL). The long line was handled swiftly, and I didn't hear anyone return to the counter to have something corrected. Kudos to Kookaburra! read more

I really liked it here! The cara caramel latte was an interesting mix of caramel and tanginess. I asked them to keep it light on the sweetness and they did. They have quite a range of pastries for super low prices (like a cookie muffin for $1.50, how can you say no?), and there is a bit of seating, too. It's quiet so you can hang out and read. But the line can get long and obstructive, so beware. Cash only is a hassle. No idea why they refuse to move over to the digital side. Parking is also awful around there. read more

An absolutely lovely experience! Inside is quite tiny, but filled with plenty of charm. A few seats to pass the time, twinkly lights strung around, a bike lovingly hung on the wall. Despite its size, there was plenty of patrons patiently waiting for their drinks, so you know this place is well loved by the community. There is plenty of options to choose from on the menu: classic cafe fare, speciality drinks, baked goods. I find it absolutely brilliant that they do offer mini pastries as well! I opted for a mini blueberry muffin and a Kookaccino and was serviced pretty quickly despite the line. The Kookaccino was quite pleasant. It's an iced drink, very much akin to a Coolatta or an Iced Capp but not as sweet, which was nice. The blueberry muffin was buttery and fluffy. Not many blueberries throughout but I just assume its because the muffins are so tiny. A lovely accompaniment to my Kookaccino as I accidentally walked too far to Lynbrook... Overall, a wonderful place to stop by and enjoy the vibes while sipping on some coffee! read more

What a cute little coffee spot! Absolutely loved the vibe in here. The lights and decor are so welcoming and fun. I had the strawberry & caramel latte & matcha from the season menu. The flavors were perfectly balanced. Got the harvest muffin to go because of a recommendation I saw on here & I snuck a taste because I had it to go - but wow is it packed with flavor! Everyone behind the counter looked like they were having a great time working together & were super friendly. One thing to note is that it's cash only, so I'm SO glad I happened to have just enough on me. I clearly missed the sign on the door when I walked in so only noticed it on my way out & that's on me! Just something to note for when you come here! read more

I visited Kookaburra Coffee Co in Malverne, but unfortunately my experience was disappointing. The staff and ambiance were pleasant, but my order for a nova lox on an everything bagel was not executed correctly - I received a salt bagel with chopped up salmon bits that didn't meet my expectations. Additionally, the chai latte was not great either. It was way too creamy and lacked any chai flavor. Also I have to mention they only take cash so I had to go next door to use their neighbors atm for an additional fee. They also have a chase bank down the block. While the coffee shop has a friendly atmosphere, it may be worth double-checking your order to ensure it meets your expectations. I'm willing to try my luck again but most likely will go elsewhere . read more

This place should have 10 stars. Don't know why it took me so long to discover but now I'm morning without Kookaberry is like a morning without sunshine. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with friendly smiles and a general feeling of happiness. I have gotten to know if you were the people on a first name basis and they always greet me and asked me if I want my usual drink. I surprised him a day ago by changing it up but went back to my large iced latte In a large cup with extra ice, naturally because it's summertime and it keeps it cold or longer. Their pastries are super fresh, and their bagels are better than the bagel store right next-door. I am actually thrilled they are in my town and wish them well and success and joy and happiness.

The baked goods are awesome, and the drinks are always perfect! My husband and I love this place and miss it so much since we moved out of state. It was the last place we visited on our way out of town, and will be the first place we stop at when we come to visit Malverne. Great staff too! Hey to Chris, Kat, and the entire crew. If you ever decide to open a place in Delaware, we'll be your first customers! read more

I went in hearing great things about this place but this has to be one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. Went to this location twice as the first time went and it was cash only unfortunately I didn't have the time to get cash and come back, as the ATM next door charges a fee. Second time went prepared with cash and was not even welcomed stood there for at least 5 mins as one of the girls working were just standing there waiting for something to be blended, and the other took her sweet time making a Matcha coffee as they only conversed with one another, No one looked up to greet or even ask if they could get anything started as I only wanted a cup of coffee, Would've liked to have tried the pastry's and other items but twice was disappointed and ended up walking out. Terrible customer service. This place is a bunch of local hype not worth it. read more

Ive seen long line in this place and checked it out. Unfortunately i didn't have a good experience- the guy told me the mini muffin i asked was coffee (which i like thats why i bought it) but its actually chocolate chip, also gave me 2 croissants with ham and cheese when i asked for 1. I asked for half and half for my coffee but the lady put too much and made it very light. Place looks nice read more

So because of the reviews here compared to the RVC one, I had planned for my first time , to go to RVC. I called to make sure they were open in RVC, no answer. I called Malverne and yes, they are open. I bought the Kookachino w/toasted marshmallow n mocha, the Advocado toast, Irish soda bread and the peanut butter n jelly bar. I brought my puppy for the visit. There was a another dog there, the same breed as mine, but 8-1/2 years older that does not like other dogs, so that was sad, so glad my pup loves all dogs. Anyway, the kookachino was DELICIOUS and so was the Advocado toast. Took a crumble of both the Soda bread n PBJ bar, very, very good. Staff was very personable and friendly. I will be frequenting this place. read more

Things I liked: 1. The Maple Sage Latte. It's toasty, warm, not too sweet, but a perfect blend of flavors. I'm not sure what I expected Sage to taste like, but I liked it a lot. 2. Customer service. Aw man they were great. Great energy, smiles, everything. Coffee shops to me are a social, homey environment and everyone here made sure of that as well. 3. Menu variety. They have cool lattes and a food menu that goes beyond avo toast, and I appreciate that. Eh: 1. This place is cash only. I rarely have encountered coffee shops that are cash only, so that was certainly interesting to me. As someone who NEVER carries cash, it was a slight turn off, but not a deal breaker by any means. 2. I wish my bagel was more toasted. Lol small request. Not a deal breaker by any means. The bagel was still great. read more

Amazing, fresh, and delicious! The Kookachino is my favorite, but every time I go in I have to try something new! My daughter and I love the muffins, and the almond croissants are mouthwatering! Not to mention that the staff is so friendly and welcoming. A must try!! read more

It's very welcoming there, the music is great, the pastries are well made and I don't mind the cash-only policy. It happens. Some baristas are naturally friendlier than others and that's okay too. Oh also, you have to tell them you want a stamp card, it's not just readily available on sight. Kinda funny how that is but that's not even a complaint for me. Every cafe has a quirk or two. However, every time I order a vanilla Kookaccino it's made differently. I honestly don't even know who's made it the correct way because of how inconsistent I've had it. So okay, instead, I order a Vanilla latte. It's cheaper and you can't mess that up, cool. Tastes great each time. Another quirk I suppose. Ultimately, the reason why I'm not motivated to go there was because of the business hours. The Kookaburra in RVC is even open a few more hours longer than the one in Malverne. I often found myself deciding to go somewhere else by the time this Kookaburra is nearing their closing hour. I love coffee, I drink it twice a day sometimes, even if it means going further to a place that's open longer, I'm gone. read more

Always the weirdest experience. Awkward ring up and no one seems to help each other out behind the counter so nothing is efficient and it all feels lumpy and choppy, even if it's not busy. Everything I've had to eat or drink here is mid, but not awful. The everything bagel I had most recently was so covered in salt it was almost inedible. I've been here several times because it seems to be the only option in the neighborhood and I come into the area for work, not sure if I'll be back. read more

Wonderful staff even better coffee great to have a local family like coffee shop right in town

Great cup of coffee here! Service is friendly, Ambiance is good to just grab a cup and keep going. Would not recommend for a sit and study kind of place. Food items have been fresh. read more

I am KOOKY for KOOKaburra Coffee!! I instantly felt invited once I walked in. This coffee shop is very cute and cozy and pet friendly!! When I was there, most people ordered to-go but you can sit down and enjoy your coffee and snack for as long as you like. It is a great place to study, relax, or catch up with a friend. I was there for about an hour and a half and there was always a seat available. Even when a line was formed, the noise level was calm and quiet. They have a reasonably priced menu and some non caffeine options such as protein shakes, hot cocoa (which is what I ordered), and tea. There are also little snacks such as bagels, brownies, and cookies. The baristas were very friendly. Parking is metered: on the street or in the lot in the back. There is a convenient back door if you do decide to park in the back. I would highly recommend this place for avid coffee goers. Their coffee selection sounded delicious and their pastries looked yummy. For me, I am not a huge coffee drinker but if I am ever in the area again I would definitely try a pastry and another non-caffeinated drink. read more

First - I was caught off guard by the CASH ONLY ...AND my SMALL cost $5.85.... The coffee is good here. I guess because of all the reviews I was hoping for it to be amazing and I wasn't blown away. But maybe I chose the wrong drink? I had the maple syrup latte. The girl barista was VERY nice and respectful and pleasant which isn't what you'd find anymore ... all in all an OK experience Don't come hungry -- no food - just muffins, bagels and pastries kinda thing read more

Kookaburra's coffee is delicious & it's awesome to have an indie coffee spot in Malverne. They have impeccable espresso and an awesome staff who are always willing to help you find something you love. Try their seasonal drinks -- their honey lavender latte is *chef's kiss.* Even their cappuccino (w/ cinnamon) is crave-worthy. So much better than Starbucks or Dunkin. read more

Loved the coffee here. Very unique cafe and the staff was amazing. Will definitely return.

I have never seen a staff where the staff CAN NOT MULTI TASK I don't understand why you can not make coffee & talk to some (your peers) at the same time or customers especially when you have other customers on line waiting. I give it a chance all the time & im CONSTANTLY DISAPPOINTED in the service read more

Officially my favorite coffee place! The coffee, food, and staff are beyond perfection. I've been here twice and stayed to do some work for a couple of hours. Each time that I've been there, I have observed the staff continuously greet and converse each one of their customers, regardless if they are new or old. The coffee is phenomenal and as a broke college student who can't afford much, I have to say the prices are reasonable. 2 bucks for a good cup of coffee is 100% worth it, in my opinion. I love their special brew, Rwanda. I haven't tried the other specialty drinks but I don't need to because I love their coffee. You can tell a place is good by their ability to master their core item- a simple cup of coffee. I've also tried their pastries. Everything is house-made and delicious! It is cash only, however that's not a reason to lose a star. It should be known, even when you look up the place on google maps, you'll see CASH ONLY. read more

Yes, yes, and yes again. This place gets it right all the time. If you haven't done so already, I'd HIGHLY recommend you add oat milk to your coffee; it's the secret ingredient. My fiancé and I came here for the second time to get lattes (one iced and one hot) with oat milk and it definitely hit the spot. Our barista catered to our needs and even told us if we didn't like our beverage he would gladly make it over; such great customer service. Thankfully our beverages were perfect hence why we came back for a second go round. Now that I know it's only a few minutes from my house, I'll gladly come back. read more

SLOWEST coffee place I have ever been to in my life. Pretty sure the kids that work there do it on purpose.
