    Came here for a quick breakfast with my friend and I was glad we came. She just moved into the Hempstead area and wanted something close. This was such a good choice. They had a big parking lot in the rear and there was a back entrance. The service, food and prices were great. The place is a no frills old fashioned diner right on Fulton in Hempstead. Staff is bilingual and the place was very clean. I enjoyed my breakfast combo with pancakes, eggs, ham and home fries. My friend got the steak omelette and it was delicious. Come support this local cafe in Hempstead, NY!

    Was getting my car serviced about half a mile up the road and found this place on Yelp and decided to take a walk and get some breakfast. Excellent decision on my part. Clean, old school lunchenette with attentive service. Had a short stack of pancakes, two sunnyside up eggs, bacon and cheese grits. Awesome breakfast. I'll definitely pop in again when getting my car serviced up the road.

    Great!

    This is the best diner! I came all the way from Brooklyn. Small , clean and great hospitality..

    Nasty ass salmon cakes

    Crabcakes with brown discuss send and then they told me that they couldn't take my bacon off the bill because it to expensive so I have to pay for what the fuck replace rotors on the floor hair in the food

    This place, is a Hempstead staple, the breakfast is all I ever had here, they fell off a little a few years ago, but they definitely redeemed themselves, because the breakfast is on point.

    Atmosphere: warm, bright, friendly. Comfy booths, plenty of seating. Wall to wall mirrors! Very clean and neat. Classic little neighborhood diner. It was busy around 10:30 Sunday morning. Seemed like lots of returning regulars, always a good sign. Staff: welcoming, cheerful, polite, prompt, attentive. Menus and coffee arrived immediately, and an order-taker came back after sufficient time to peruse the selections. A two-man crew delivered the food and we were later checked on. Food: coffee was fresh and hot, with a cool little pitcher of cream and free refill. Real butter is served. Eggs over easy were perfect, breakfast meats tasty and not over salty, home fries were insane; light brown crispy with soft peppers and onions cooked in nice fresh oil, you could tell. The sure test of excellent home fries is, I had no desire to add ketchup. I agree the grits needed salt, but the texture was really good, and my husband just stirs his egg yolk right into the grits and he's a happy camper. Pancakes were golden brown heaven, moist and fluffy, and here again you didn't need or want to drown them in syrup. Prices: very wallet-friendly. Parking: side streets or rear lot from which you can enter. Bathroom: teeny, unisex, clean, mirrored walls. The food took a bit longer than average to arrive, but definitely worth the wait and does not affect the rating. Loved it and hope to return.

    The staff is all great however the food is a bit mid. Also there's people who randomly comes into the restaurant trying to sell dvds and different items. I definitely wouldn't fully recommend this restaurant

    Cheese Grits, Sausage and eggs
    Rina S.

    I went this AM and food was great. It has a home-like/old/traditional feel. I ordered a Western omelette and breakfast potatoes. My sister had eggs over medium with sausage and cheese grits, we shared a waffle. Everything was good. Ingrid, our waitress was attentive and sweet. She realized we were newbies to the diner and welcomed us. I'll be going again.

    I enjoyed my breakfast and will definitely be back! The staff was very nice and accommodating as well.

    This spot has some delicious breakfast! The service was nice and speedy. I'll be coming back here for sure.

    Me and a friend came here after wanting to try a new breakfast place. We were so satisfied and we will definitely return. Being here gave us a warm, friendly, homey vibe. The waitress was very attentive and hospitable. The food was amazing and tasted like my mom's big Sunday breakfast. I had pancakes, eggs, sausage and grits. The food was steaming hot when it came out. Super plus! The coffee was delicious, fresh and hot! I can't wait to go back

A special thank you to Chef Brian, who clearly takes great pride in delivering an exceptional dining experience. His attention to quality and consistency really stands out and makes every visit memorable. If you're looking for delicious food, Tatte is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

    I can't believe I've never reviewed Tatte Bakery, because it is easily one of my favorite bakeries…read more I first discovered Tatte in Boston several years ago and immediately fell in love with the brand. Their breakfast sandwiches have always been my favorite. I used to say that I wished they would open a location closer to me, so you can imagine how happy I was when I heard that a location had finally opened in Garden City last year. Long overdue, but absolutely worth the wait! After dinner in Garden City tonight, we simply drove across the parking lot and stopped in. Of course, I couldn't leave empty-handed. I picked up two chocolate croissants and a tiramisu to take home. The chocolate croissants were beautifully flaky and buttery, and the tiramisu was a lovely indulgence. Everything looked as beautiful as it tasted, which is something I've always appreciated about Tatte. It was the perfect way to end our evening.

We're not vegan, but as vegetarians we love vegan restaurants that have figured out how to make deliciousness out of plant-based foods. As tasty as the drinks were, it's really the vibe that I love. So random to find a place like this in our relatively normie area - maybe we can even find other weirdos like ourselves who also feel at home in a place that celebrates spooky fun like WBCH does.

The person I was with was even greeted with a "you know that item costs this much" when they placed their order .....all because of my shirt.

Seventh street staff is accommodating and attentive. The food was very good. We started with the hot antipasto. Although it's really only enough for two people. You need another app for more people. The bread basket was a nice touch. The menu is very extensive and well priced. I had the salmon which was well portioned and tasty with a Dijon. My aunt had a thin grilled chicken and vegetables. We both loved their scalloped potatoes, yum. My mother had gnocchi bolognese which was very good as well. For desert we went with rainbow cookie but it was missing that rainbow taste. The fruit tart with cream was nice but the cream could have been thicker to give it more taste. Cappuccinos were too light mostly milk in color and taste. Overall very happy this place is still here, it has everything and in a prime location.
