    Inside
    Jihye B.

    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.

    Bacon, egg, and cheese "danish"

    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!

    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!

    Strawberry Caramel Latte & Matcha
    Jennifer H.

    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!

    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 .

    Small coffee place with tasty pastries and delicious coffee. The establishment is super small but they move the line fast. I highly suggest the harvest muffin because it is sooo tasty.

    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.

    See all
