    Great Café right across from the Danfords Hotel. I had the ice lavender latte and avocado toast.

    The grilled chicken sandwich was delicious. It was prepared to perfection. I like it had pesto in it. I wasn't a fan of the fries. It was very well done. The cashier was very nice. The Wi-Fi was extremely fast.

    French Toast, Cappuccino

    The quality at Local's has fallen recently. It's still a great environment to be in, but there is a noticeable difference in the food since I first came a few months ago. The french toast that used to come out fully dressed in fresh berries is now served with a cup of jelly instead. The "hash browns" for breakfast are french fries. Little changes like that may not affect a new customer, but as someone who regularly visits for the food, it is a bit disappointing.

    Very cute, great place to get work done. A couple outlets along the walls with a beautiful view of port Jeff, so it's great for people/dog watching. The food is a bit on the pricey side. One gender neutral restroom. Lots of vegan options.

    Laid back atmosphere. The food is good but could use a little more seasoning. We enjoyed the Avocado egg sandwich and the grilled chicken roll. The grilled cheese was good too. The fries are disappointing though. We also had the brown sugar cookie which was really good, crispy, sweet and mildly salty. It hit right. The walnut cookie was gooey but there were barely any walnuts in it. They have a unique selection of refrigerated drinks too. I tried one and it was refreshing and tasty.

    Breakfast Quesadillas

    Great food + spot for a small party / yourself. Food is filling + very tasty. Ambiance is aesthetic and calm. Spacious. Less of a restaurant, more of order at the counter and help yourself style. + The whip cream on the French Toast was vegan!! - I tried the Miso Caramel Latte, it was an interesting flavor but not my favorite, felt like it was a bit salty. I went with a couple friends for brunch and caught up with them, but I would happily go back there alone to get some work done.

    You don't have to be a local to enjoy a meal at/from Local's Cafe, though perhaps it'll inject you with a full five stars, similarly to what many of my Yelp chums have rated the place. For me, I'm borderline between three and four celestials, but let me explain why. For starters, I'm writing this review still within the semi-confines of COVID-land so no interior eating was happening (at least not yet) for Local's Cafe. That's completely fine with me (well, us) as this recent Tuesday morning with my girlfriend, her sis, and her mom had us looking for something on the go so we could enjoy a seat and eat at the Harborfront Park. There were a handful of outdoor tables on the side of Local's, but I can't say I'd have wanted to sit there anyway with the people proximity being a little too close for comfort. Just sayin'. Before we continue, let's take one step back in our decision to try Local's. They featured online ordering and pickup which worked well as we were under a slight time crunch for the morning. The menu had a few intriguing options, but we ended up going simple and ordering a bunch of breakfast quesadillas (plus one with chicken). The receipt stated the food would be ready in about 20 minutes. Sounds good, right? Well... I walked over to LC with the lady at the time stated on the receipt to find that they actually weren't (at first) sure where our order was on the computer. After stating we ordered online (not by phone where they were checking), they then located the order and said it should be ready shortly...10-15 minutes later the bag was finally being place in my hands. That makes me wonder if they had even started the order in the first place...hmm. Once over in the park, we opened up our containers to find generous helpings of tortillas filled with egg, bacon, and cheese with a layer of home fries below. A little semi-spicy salsa verde came on the side and rounded out a breakfast priced at a little more than $10. Here's where the females and I might differ (shhh don't tell them!). I personally found the quesadilla to be pretty darn tasty. The eggs were hot and fresh while the bacon had a slight thickness with a little crisp factor (this wasn't some rubbery, fatty pork!). The home fries had pieces of pepper and onion (which I love to see/taste) and the verde sauce really added in a nice balanced kick to the quesadilla. The ladies didn't dislike their meals, but I think they weren't feeling the price and would've been fine just getting bagels and going in that direction. To each his own. Overall, for me, I'd say Local's Cafe had some faults to be mentioned (that seating setup perhaps and definitely the probable order snafu), but I'd say the price matched the portion size and things were fresh and tasty from start to finish. There's enough intrigue here to try breakfast again (or maybe lunch) though I'm not sure when that'll be. Either way, I'll give Local's the push up towards the four stars I feel like it probably deserves, even if I'm just a lowly non-local Yelper (ha!).

    My family and I decided to stop by this cafe for lunch and were pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was! I got the bacon chicken sandwich but substituted the grilled chicken for a crispy chicken patty instead. The sandwich was freshly made and so tasty. My dad raved about how good his salmon pita sandwich was so if you are a fan of fish, I would definitely give it a try. There are also tons of vegetarian options as well including the tofu bhurji, veggie sandwich, veggie burger, etc. The staff were very nice and accommodating but the food did take some time to come out so if you are in a rush, you may be likely to have to wait. We had plenty of time so it wasn't a problem for us and the food was worth the wait!

    Ginger ale and an iced vanilla latte.

    Great spot for coffee and food. Good for studying as well. Not too packed and they even have outdoor seating. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was really good. The French toast was really good too. My husband ordered the chicken sandwich and it was good too. Will definitely be back if I'm back in the area.

    How's the wifi here? And, what's your favorite Vegan meal to get from here?

    WiFi is great! I'm able to submit online assignments and complete quizzes online without any issues. The veggie burger is incredible and 100% vegan. The avocado toast is great also!

    *January 2026 Restaurant Week*…read more My wife's bestie made plans for the (4) of us to meet for dinner. We all live close so Fifth Season Restaurant was chosen. I haven't been here in a very long time so I'm excited to see how the restaurant has stayed in business over the years. We are shown to our table upstairs. The bar area on a Friday night looks fun and active. There's great views of Port Jefferson harbor so the restaurant ambiance is nice. We're seated and are given restaurant week menus as well as the wine/cocktail list. Listen, It's Friday nite and I don't want a wine cooler! Give to me a standard Martini stirred (Shaken is just dumb) with stuffed blue cheese olives. The ladies order appletini's and we're ready to order off the restaurant week menu. The menu has a nice selection of different offerings, I'm into all things local so I'm going to start with the beet salad and Red Snapper. The beet salad was loaded with beets! I love beets, they did a good job with this started dish. I must point out, the dish must have been prepped earlier in the day. The green salad was slighty wilted when served to me. The Red Snapper, what is that sauce on top? And the fish was sitting on a bunch of zoodles?? The fish wasn't seasoned, it wasn't very flavorful. I'm eating around the zoodles, meh. The cheesecake I ordered, it was also just a standard dessert. I didn't finish the fish or my dessert. Review is over, Fifth Season Restaurant? See you in another 5 years.

    The restaurant itself was very nice. Two stories and we dined on the second floor. They had a few…read morespecials that sounded good. The complementary Crostini was great. The salads we felt were small for the price but were tasty. The main course was delicious and a nice portion. However the small portions continued when we moved over to dessert, which was very overpriced for what you got. The service was also kind of slow. I think they need more wait staff.
