Definitely worth stopping by for a coffee and a little treat! I tried the salmon Lox sando on a croissant and got an iced latte with almond milk. I also love that they have a community board -- such a thoughtful touch that makes the café feel warm and welcoming. Wonderful to see a local spot like this bringing people together. I'll definitely be back!

(Look for the marquee for Frantoni's Pizza, and The Early Bird Cafe is located right next door). There is signage on their entry doorway. Thanks to fellow Yelp Elite friend Ray N for introducing me to this cafe! I never would have known about this place had he not suggested to go! Thanks also to owner Jin and his staff for the warm & friendly hospitality. This cafe is so modern & welcoming; with a homey feel! We met and chatted with a few fellow customers while we were there. (Shout-out to Justin, Christine and little cutie Miles!) What a pleasure to be there! The Early Bird Cafe is small but don't let the size fool you. They have an array of offerings: - Coffees/Lattes (hot & cold) - Teas (hot & cold) - Milk Teas - Fruit Slushies - Fruit & Yogurt Smoothies - A nice variety of pastries (ask them th heat it up for extra goodness!) - A unique menu of hot foods (see my menu photos). They offer an array of Chiabatta Sandwiches as well as regular sandwiches and Croissant sandwiches; all with tasty fresh ingredients. On this 1st visit, I had: - Hot Cafe Latte ($5.25): This hot & flavorful latte really hit the spot! It was served in a nice ceramic mug which somehow made it taste even better. lol - Fried Egg Sandwich with a side of potato chips ($10.95): It usually comes with 2 fried eggs but we added an extra egg. It also came with arugula, tomatoes, melted Swiss cheese, with a delicious garlic aioli sauce; all on a fresh Chiabatta roll. This egg sandwich was plentiful and stacked with such fresh ingredients! It was delicious and so satisfying. I could only finish half, and took the other half to go. I ate the other half about 4 hours later and it held up pretty well; still fresh & delicious! Recommended! Their food menu has so many great choices! I look forward to a return visit to try their other menus items, as well as their other coffee items! Like I mentioned, this is definitely a hidden Gem! Recommended!!

I've usually gotten a drink everytime I've come here but it seems they wouldn't judge you if you were to do work without ordering anything. Ambiance is great as well during the night. The warm lighting makes it not only a nice place to do work but also just to chat with friends over a nice warm tea! I see why this place is beloved by the community of all ages! They also had a great honeycomb pastry! Nice and warm! Honey and cream cheesey bite! Strawberry matcha too was great. They have a pink bottom and topped with matcha and it was delicious!

It's about time I update my review for No Rush Cafe. They are literally the only place in the area…read moreI can comfortably get some work done while enjoying a 'no rushed' breakfast or lunch. Sure there are some great deli's, diners and cafe spots but at No Rush Cafe, you never feel like your present is detracting from business. There's been times where I get me a sandwich and a coffee, crack open my laptop to do some emails and video editing, and all of a sudden when I look at my watch, 2 hours has passed. Their booths are incredibly comfortable and even have inspired me to create some breakfast nook booth seating at home.

This place is good, not great, when it comes to the drinks. I don't like overly sweet drinks and I…read morelike the taste of good roasted espresso. That said, I requested 1/2 sugar in my decaf iced brown sugar shaken espresso. I am avoiding caffeine. It was still too sweet for my taste. We also got a regular coffee which was okay. The iced lavender matcha latte was probably the best. Still a little too sweet. Last was an iced matcha latte; overpowered by sugar. If you want to taste your matcha or coffee, definitely request less sugar, much less. I didn't eat the pastries but my family said the chocolate croissant was flaky with good quality chocolate. We had it warmed up; definitely recommend that. The service was very friendly and helpful. Inside it's dark with cool paintings on the walls. They have several sitting areas with all types of couches and chairs. Outside it smelled like weed; inside it did not. Well, there you go!

They were more focused on their phone than on the customer. The French Workshop has a lot of potential, but the customer service needs serious improvement, especially at the cashier/front counter.

Have I spent all of my money here? Yes. But this cafe's food and drinks gave me just enough joy and…read moreenergy to power through the days so it was all worth it. My favorite combo was the hot matcha latte and croissant during the winter time. The matcha was so creamy with a strong and sweet matcha taste, and the croissant was unexpectedly top tier. But I wouldn't sleep on their other menu items either (they brew very strong coffee as well). My addiction was fueled by this cafe's aesthetic seasonal decor, genuinely friendly service, and proximity to the train station. They craft such a well rounded experience for their customers !

Really cute interior with plenty of seating. We came on a Friday night so there was live music which was a nice touch. The menu ranges from lattes, to boozy lattes, to mocktails, to cocktails, to regular coffee. I tried the PB&J boozy latte and it was very good. I tried a sip of the butterscotch one and that was way too sweet for me. I also had a cocktail towards the end of the evening and that was delicious. For food we wanted the gumbo but they had run out so I opted for the chicken quesadilla instead. It was very good and filling. Service was fantastic! The waitress, the manager, the owner, everybody was great. Parking in the front and back.

Wow. I have to say the coffee here is some of the best I've had on Long Island! And definitely the…read morebest in garden city. I love that they have tasty treats on display, but also have a full menu for lunch and dinner. It's a bit overpriced, but you get what you pay for. My only suggestion would be to offer more healthy options ie salads, gluten free wraps and offer gluten free bread that's not covered in seeds (like thousands of seeds LOL). The only downside is when you order via the apps (grubhub Uber eats) there seems to be a major disconnect. My order is wrong 75% of the time. And sometimes takes double the time that's quoted. That's just bad service. They need to give the baristas/ cooks the original order. Not a re-written version, because that's where mistakes happen.
