One coworker by the name of Nick patiently helped me my very large order.

The service was very slow because there were only two associates making drinks for a huge line of customers. They definitely need more people working inside during peak times. Managers, please add extra staff! The poor gentleman making the coffee was struggling, though he did politely apologize for the delay. I reassured him that it wasn't his fault; having worked in coffee shops during the morning rush myself, I could tell they were severely understaffed. I really hope management realizes how much this impacts the business Saturdays and Sundays should always be fully staffed!

No idea why they call it "Stellina Bakery" here (guessing that was the old name, it's BiancoLatte…read morenow) - much less why the reviews are middling. But this is one of the best coffee spots I've been to in a _long_ while anywhere near NYC. Dropped by on a whim for a quick coffee while visiting friends not far from Syosset - and grabbed a (large) cornetto with pistacchio cream along with it. The staff are super kind and attentive - coffee was made fast, and brought directly to our table without us even asking. Ccappuccino was great, zero complaints. The cornetto was delicious - flaky, buttery pastry and excellent cream (not too sweet, meaning not overloaded with sugar). And the entire place is full of options of cakes, cornettos, cannoli and other delicacies to try. They also have lots of savory sandwiches to sample, we just weren't able to grab any as we were heading to a lunch elsewhere - otherwise we'd have definitely tried one, after that excellent breakfast. They even threw in a free cookie with sprinkles, because it was a bit broken apart and we were clearly admiring it / commenting on how tasty it looked. Place is clean, friendly, with plenty of room to sit down and relax - and even do some reading or work remotely (saw at least one guy typing away on his laptop). Basically a Starbucks but with serious upgrades in terms of quality of food, and of the decor. Will definitely see if there's any similar spots closer to where we live.

Didn't realize that their entire menu was gluten free and tree-nut free (I have n=1 friend who would have appreciated this). I also liked that they separated the vegan and non-vegan items (we were fine with eggs so went non-vegan). The same person I spoke with on the phone greeted me and I went with her recommendation of the non-vegan chocolate mousse cake. While waiting, I had a gluten-free multigrain bagel (toasted) with cream cheese. It was really good! I was pretty shocked because I expected it to taste like cardboard to be honest. Now the mousse cake. I held my breath as the birthday girl ate the first bite. She loved it! Guess what. I loved it too! Well if I ever need a nut free, gluten free, or vegan baked good, I can take a short drive to Plainview for BNB. I may also return for a bagel.

The food is always decent, but the prices have become absurd for the portions you're receiving.

We were unable to get refills on our drinks because our server was running around too frantically to check on us. There simply is just never enough staff and it shows in the quality of service. Even a great server can only do so much.
