As a coffee lover, I've been waiting for this café to open. It's a Hispanic-owned Christian coffee shop conveniently located near the Bay Shore LIRR, and they open as early as 5:30 am most days. Today was their grand opening, and the owner was present, working and personally welcoming everyone.
We ordered a coquito latte, a caramel macchiato, and two chicken salad on everything bagels. They offer a small food menu along with several desserts, cold drinks, teas, and of course plenty of coffee options. The full menu is displayed on screens behind the register and is also available online. I didn't notice any paper menus.
Service was fast, and the atmosphere was wonderful. There are various seating options, including comfy spots if you want to stay a while. They also have flowers you can pick, and they'll build a custom bouquet for you, which is such a unique touch.
I stayed for a bit to relax and really enjoyed the space. I'm looking forward to stopping in frequently since it's right in my community. read more
