For desert we ordered the Silk 'n' Satin, which is cheesecake with a "dome" of chocolate mousse. And they meant a dome! It was one of the best deserts I have ever had and the 2 of us had trouble finishing it! Prices were all very reasonable for such quality French food. The waitstaff (all women) were knowledgeable and attentive. And both the owners (mother and daughter) stopped by to talk to us to make sure we were enjoying our experience. The restaurant setting itself is nice with calming, soft colors. Highly recommend!!

Some in our group were painfully hungry by the time entrees arrived.

The staff were friendly and helpful, even during the morning rush! For you book lovers, it's the perfect spot to grab a drink while taking a stroll through the library, or take a seat outside! If you're a fan of cold brew or anything coconut flavored, you have to try the shaken coconut cream cold brew. You may find your new favorite summer drink, because I sure did. This coffee had the perfect amount of coconut flavor. The foam on top wasn't thick like a Starbucks foam. It was light and airy, which I think has much more flavor! The coconut and coffee flavor was a perfect balance. I honestly don't know how they would be able to make this taste any better. My niece and nephew got the birthday cake cake pops, which I had to take a bite of. Definitely too sweet for me, but if you have a sweet tooth - you'd love it. This is definitely a spot to try if you have never been! I'd love to go back when I visit in the fall. I'm sure they have great pumpkin flavors.

It is comparable in all ways price wise and quality is overall better.

You can enjoy your meal at a table, counter, back deck or outside front tables. They have couches to relax on while you're eating as well. Makes you feel like you're in your living room.

There is lots of seating on the floor on cushions and mattresses, but there are also several chairs. When you enter you have to take your shoes off, which is not an issue, just wish they had a bench you could sit on to take off your shoes and put your shoes on afterwards, as that was difficult for me , as I didn't have slip ons. That's my only negative. Food was delicious . I tried a new beverage and the pistachio cake- both delish! It is located in a strip mall, so lots of parking. Prices reasonable

I really do take far too many photos, but it's helpful because then I remember there are spots I may have forgotten to write up like Macchiato Espresso Bar. I visited this cute Mattituck location back in late August and the results were pretty tasty. You see my wife and I were looking for some coffee and a place that's different than what we've often found on the North Fork and so MEB popped up as an option. Not a ton of reviews were posted, but from the ones on Yelp (and dare I say Google too) made it seem worthy of stopping. The worthiness is definitely there because Macchiato has a nice array of coffee options as well as pastries and more elaborate edibles (sandwiches, salads, etc.). You can find everything on their menus though you won't find too much else inside as the place is definitely small. A couple of tables, some fridge drinks and pre-maid foods, and an area of swag and other items is the entirety of the interior so don't expect any true cozy feels. But hey, you can't drink cozy (well maybe in the Fall/Winter), and so let's turn our attention back to the name of this place and focus on coffee. I went with an iced latte with vanilla while my wife tried the iced chocolate (as it was written on the menu). For me, I liked mine. Nothing negative to necessarily say about it as it had a good coffee kick, but when my wife felt like hers was a little too heavy in the bitter bang before the chocolate took over, I decided for us to switch drinks as I thought the iced chocolate was delightful (I do like my coffee a little stronger). Before finishing up, I do want to mention that we were a bit hungry and so one of the chocolate croissants in the display case made its way into our possession. The funny interaction my wife had with the friendly staff member ("Is that a chocolate croissant?" "You know it is!") added to our excitement and oh did it pay off as it tasted delicious. Overall, Macchiato Espresso Bar had a lot to like. Perhaps they're a little small, but they pack some good coffee and pastry/food choices in an area that really doesn't have a ton of options. I'd definitely return another time when out east and in search of my morning cup of joe along with a desire for a bite to eat. And with that I can now post some very belated pics with this review so the CMs stay off my back!

The restaurant is located at an old train station, and the setting has so much charm and character. Sitting outside while watching the trains pass by made the entire brunch feel a little more unique and memorable. I started with an iced Vietnamese coffee, which was absolutely delicious--the perfect balance of bold, sweet, and refreshing. For brunch, I ordered the blueberry sourdough pancakes with eggs and bacon, and everything was fantastic. The pancakes were especially good: fluffy, flavorful, and such a great combination with the blueberries. The eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly and rounded out the meal nicely. Everything tasted fresh, well-prepared, and genuinely worth coming back for. The service was just as enjoyable as the food. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our meal without ever making us feel rushed. Between the great service, delicious food, and the atmosphere of the historic train station, the entire experience felt relaxed and special. I've tried plenty of brunch spots, and this may genuinely be one of the best I've been to in a while. It's the kind of place that offers more than just a good meal--the setting and atmosphere make the experience stand out. I would absolutely come back, especially to sit outside again, enjoy another Vietnamese iced coffee, and order those blueberry sourdough pancakes. If you're looking for a brunch spot with great food, attentive service, and a little extra charm, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
