There is a waiting room which is heated, good for a cold day especially if one just missed a train or waiting for the train to come. The waiting is also clean.

Several branches (Port Jeff, Ronkonkoma, Oyster Bay) stop at Mineola; thus I do not have to wait a long time to take a train back to Long Island. The ticket booth in the waiting room is closed on weekends, but the waiting room itself is open every day of the week and has benches where passengers sit down, waiting for their trains. There are USB ports for smart device charging that are attached to the benches in the waiting room (see photo below), which is a big plus. There are two ticket vending machines outside across from the waiting room, but I purchased my tickets today, 6/17/26, from the MTATrainTime app, using Apple Pay. Overall, the station has good police presence. I feel safe. The only downside is that the restroom toilet was disgusting, and there is no free parking. LIRR riders must pay for parking in a nearby lot.

PROS: -…read moreStandard-length platform (no "Only the last 4 cars will platform.") - Light crowds - Safe area (minus the sketchy Boomer bar underneath) - Clean CONS: - Needs better protection from the elements - Skips trains during rush hour Auburndale doesn't really have any standout qualities, for better or for worse. It's a small, bare-bones station at the halfway point of the Port Washington line (that still, thankfully, lets you get off on any car). You won't see a great many people getting off and on, except during rush hour. If I could make a change, it would be to either make the glass shelter temperature-controlled like at some other stations, or extend the roof to the length of the entire platform. As it stands, because the tracks are elevated, you're going to feel the full brunt of the weather in the Summer and Winter. Minor inconveniences aside, this is still a decent station.
