    My husband and I were in the area and in the mood for some coffee. We popped in to grab some lattes. The interior is spacious, cute and inviting. Staff were friendly and the latte was delicious. Would definitely return!

    Latte and blueberry scone
    Jared S.

    I was in the area and suddenly got a craving for coffee and pastries. After finding Southdown on Yelp and seeing their high rating, I headed straight there. As soon as I walked in I immediately noticed the beautiful ambiance, a wonderful combination of chic, simplicity and charm. The coffee and food were just as impressive. My latte and blueberry scone were a match made in heaven. Thought I initially hesitated for obvious reasons, I couldn't help but dunk my scone into the latte... again and again. I know it's a public faux pas and all but I'm honesty surprise most people don't do this. I mean, you only live once, am I right? 5/5 from me, can't wait to go back.

    Vanilla latte. Good stuff.

    I'll make this a quick review because I feel like my times at Southdown have been speedy and fast-paced. I've only been to this Huntington location twice (once a few months back and another in the past couple of weeks), but both times I was in and out with coffee in hand and on my way. Now I'm not sure if all Southdown's feel as fast-moving (and honestly bustling) as this location. There are several more scattered about on Long Island in some of the hipper town areas so I might one day get to check out a closer spot than Huntington (probably Patchogue or Northport), but when in this specific small strip mall storefront, things went quick. There was a line both times I entered and a handful of tables that were all filled, but orders came and went which got me up to the register. The menu is decently-sized with half of it being drinks and the other half a variety of breakfast/lunch food options so do your best to figure out what you'd like prior. When it was my first trip, I was looking for an iced latte with vanilla and regular milk and so that's what I ordered. I also got a few head scratches when I asked if they had any stickers (which isn't that outlandish when many other coffee spots I visit offer them up for free). Not a big deal as the coffee handed to me a few moments later was smooth, semi-sweet, and tasty. Not the most amazing latte I've ever had, but much better than your run-of-the-mill coffee chains and perfect for a warm day. On my second trip, it was a seasonal selection in fall, the iced maple spice latte, that made its way into my hand and wow was this a great autumn drink! Now I could probably almost warrant five stars on those two sips along with coffee quality, but I have to return to the food aspect. Southdown was doling out just as many plates of grub as they were drinks and it left me wondering how good their edible items were. I didn't partake in food on the first trip and the only thing I wanted to eat on the second trip was something light, so I bought a seasonal baked item, a pumpkin muffin. It was good, though I wasn't madly in love. I did like that there was a sign saying all of those baked items were made in-house which is nice to hear/see, but it left me with a little wonder as to how all of the food is at Southdown. Overall, with the question mark coming from the food aspect, I'll go with four stars on this specific Huntington coffee shop. Perhaps tackling just coffee alone might tempt me to go higher, but taking in the food and the fast-paced atmosphere leveled me out to more of a four, at least for now. And with that line, I finish my "quick" coffee review.

    The matcha latte is low quality, it's sweet, doesn't have the matcha bitterness and doesn't have real matcha powder, basically tastes the same at Trader Joe's matcha latte.

    Strawberry matcha
    Cristina S.

    Love the espresso tonic, iced lattes and matcha. Whether you want a mango flavor or strawberry, it's very refreshing. Staff is usually friendly. Food is always fresh. We especially like the salads and paninis. Sometimes they are out of things and the parking lot is difficult at times, but plenty of seating in a neutral color environment. Definitely worth the stop.

    Cute coffee shop
    Jon W.

    Southdown coffee up on the north shore! This cute local favorite in Southdown area right outside Huntington village boosts deliciously curated coffees and syrups made in shop, along with pastries for a quick bite. It is usually packed with a line but expected for great hot and cold brew coffee. In short: - Great coffee and pastries - limited seating inside - busy local favorite

    Avocado Toast--the roasted tomato topping ruined everything!
    Gail B.

    I live a caffeine-free existence now, so I did not order any coffee. Instead I got a bottle of watermelon juice for $8. That was the price I had to pay for drinking healthy. The polenta cake was good. It is made from almond flour, which has a low glycemic index. The Avocado Toast was mediocre. The roasted tomato topping soured the flavor of the avocado, but the sunflower seeds enhanced it. The sunflower seeds sweetened up the avocado. It was a terrific pairing. I suggest that the chef top the toast with a sweeter tomato variety, preferably some fresh cherry or Rosada tomatoes. Staff was friendly, and the service was quick. I got my order within seven minutes. Parking is free in a small retail lot. I would not go out of my way to come here. It is worth visiting only if you happen to be in Huntington Village.

    My friend wanted to have a hot cup of cappuccino, around 430 so I Googled coffee and Southdown was nearby and STILL OPEN! We ordered a Cappuccino w milk and whipped cream and an iced Chai Tea w milk and a lavender shot. Both were delicious! It was quiet when we entered so we ordered and got our drinks quickly and sat down to enjoy our drinks. It got busy quick! Good thing we beat the rush! Good times

    Maple Spiced Latte
    Daphne Y.

    Long line but worth the wait. I got the maple Spiced latte and my boyfriend got the chai latte and both were superb. We both got the famous egg sandwich and that was delicious as well. The pickled onions added a whole different level of flavor as well as the tomato jam sauce on the sandwich. Gave it a unique touch. Not a huge fan of arugula but I didn't mind it too much. I saw they had jalapeño cheddar biscuits as well which looked amazing and I plan to try next time. I didn't ask if it was possible but if it's not already an option, having the option to have the biscuit for the famous egg sandwich would be great.

    For $8, I expected much much more. My matcha had far too much milk and was quite watered down. Don't think it's worth the money.

You place your order in the front room, which is stark white with some decorations, and once you receive your order you can step into the back which houses the most 90s goth cozy coffee exterior you can think of. Think: spooky decorations with couches and decorative plates to eat off of. I can only imagine once this place sets root, the insane ambiance that back room would be for poetry readings, live music and other community events! There's a variety of coffee, beans and pastries to choose from. Keep in mind, there's two lattes available on the menu that are actually cold brew based drinks, which was a bit confusing. But I ended up ordering a mocha and a BEC turnover and in about 10 mins, my order was complete! (Keep in mind, this institution is vegan, so oat milk and vegan pastries reign supreme!) My personal preference with a mocha is that it has some bitterness in it, whether it be the espresso or the chocolate. And the mocha I received was very light on that! It was serviceable, but it wasn't amazing. The BEC turnover did have a good amount of filling and the pastry itself was super flaky (and freshly baked). But the interior was a bit salty and the pastry itself left that weird, waxy feel in my mouth. The staff themselves are super nice! A bit bare bones due to the newness of their location, but as kind as can be! Despite my qualms, I will be coming back soon just to try their other offerings and soak up that lovely interior space!
