Love everything about this place. Great layout and atmosphere, wonderful service team, indoor/outdoor seating, great coffee and barista drinks, and all fresh food. They have "everyday" food and also some fancy stuff, also really good grab-n-go premade stuff. I think their bacon egg cheese is one of the best you will find anywhere. Their homemade hot sauce is perfectly flavorful and not flexing heat. read more

Stone Street Cafe - Bacon egg cheese. - Cafes Near Me - Southold, New York

Very cool spot with a specific menu. Everything we torres was absolutely delish. Something to note-they don't really customize menus nor orders. Try to know what you want prior to arriving at the counter if it's busy . Very fresh food Delicious and well presented. We popped in on a Sunday Am Around 11 and the food took a long while to come out but totally worth it! Had the choc cookies which were like a brownie. -they were fab and out of this world! read more

This place is beautiful both inside and out. The pastries are cooked to perfection and the food in th fridges looks amazing. Having said that, the prices are very high but you can likely say that about any modern coffee shop in NY. If you're going to order a Cappuccino and want it to be a Cap you must be very specific or like Starbucks they'll give you a cup of milk with a shot of espresso. Tell them you want it dry! read more

Great coffee with terrific pastries and prepared food. Great coffee with quick, pleasant service. Great coffee in quiet surroundings, eat outside in Einstein Square if you can. Oh, and did I mention the great coffee. read more

Stone Street Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Southold, New York

This place has some good coffee and food, but be ready to sell a kidney at the counter - this place is expensive. A coffee and breakfast sandwich can easily surpass $20. The area is clean, pretty, and has good seating inside and out. A solid place, but the prices make it a bit difficult to justify frequent visits. read more

I'm so torn about this place. We live nearby and go often but something is just off. They have good sandwiches and the coffee is pretty good, but most who work there just aren't that friendly. Yesterday my husband ordered a cortado with oat milk and knew immediately it was cow milk. He asked nicely for it to be corrected and the manager insisted "the ticket says oat so it's oat." Thankfully my husband was insistent because he was right - the girl who made the drink said she made it with cow milk. (Which is fine, people make mistakes!) But kind of crazy that the manager would be so flippant about a common allergy (that incidentally would make my husband super sick.) Hard to return to a place where the people aren't that nice, when there are so many spots on the north fork where the people are kind and warm. read more

Recently opened on Main Street in Southold next to Einstein Square. How did Einstein get a Square in Southold? Well he spent a summer or 2 in Cutchogue and visited Rothman's store where Southold General is located and bought a pair of sandals and became friends with Mr. Rothman. Odd but true story. The Square and stores were renovated last year and a beautiful space was created. There are plenty of tables and outdoor seating in a casual setting. Of course there is also a bust of Einstein and a mural of Einstein and Mr. Rothman. The cafe is beautifully decorated with a farm house style showcasing local farm produce and packaged goods such as Jellies, honey and other products. There is a lot going on in this space. They have a excellent coffee shop, Pizzeria, breakfast items such as scones and muffins and a gelateria. So many things to choose from. Great place to visit for breakfast, lunch or just stop by for a coffee or gelato and sit outside people watching or Einstein watching. My only complaint is that prices can be on the high side. Great addition to Main Street in Southold. It really livens up the area. Make sure you visit some of the other local shops on Main Street when visiting Southold General. I think Einstein would have liked it here. read more

Went here and was very happy overall. Service was quick, food was great. Prices were reasonable. We had a beet salad and pizza, beer and wine. Looking forward to going back again. I left without the double chocolate cookie which looked sooo good. Can't wait to go back for one! read more

Cute little market with counter service. I got an amazing Italian sub sandwich, and my fiancée got a smoothie. Great seating and friendly staff. I will definitely be back. read more

Horrible coffee. Iced drink was noticeably warm, with maybe 5 ice cubes. 2 drinks also took 10 minutes while not busy. Chocolate croissants are good but skip the coffee!!! read more

terrible, will not be returning would not let me order an English muffin with an egg then when they finally did it it costed $13! Totally rip off they are rude as well. read more

My family and I took a walk up main road and Southold, an activity we had been planning for 2+ years We happened upon this little gem. Perfect place to get a snack or a meal with tables and chairs outside to sit and watch people walk by The sorbet was amazing. My daughter will be a super fan for life. Can't wait to try their meals next time. read more

Beautiful bakery/cafe straight out of a Nancy Meyers movie. We visited for breakfast and lunch, and everything was so delicious, especially the croissants, which are the best I've had in the US - not exaggerating. It makes me so sad that Francois Payard no longer has a bakery in Manhattan. Southold residents are truly lucky! I highly recommend grabbing a pastry before visiting the beautiful home decor stores a block away. It was a wonderful way to spend an hour in Southold. read more

The food is top notch. Gouda and pastrami Turkey all the way. Coffee is amazing and pasties to die for. read more

Been visiting this place since the beginning and really wanted it to succeed but was much better in the beginning even tho it was overpriced. Now that Wednesdays table is closed (saddest thing ever) they have zero competition and the food is not exciting or good especially for the price. We vowed to never go back but always end up going there cuz in a rush w the kids and regret it. Today the manager was so rude to my family so that's the last draw. It's crazy that they think they can treat people like this and not even back it up with good food read more

3.5 stars. My family and I ordered takeout from Southold General for lunch. We had only tried drinks there prior, so we were excited to sample their food selection. We ordered 3 sandwiches (tuna conserva, short rib, and caprese), the caesar salad, and a side of fries. I had the salad and I tried the fries and caprese. My salad was missing croutons, so I was basically eating Romaine lettuce and grilled chicken, which was kind of boring after awhile. The grilled chicken was cooked perfectly. It was so tasty. I wasn't a fan of the Caesar dressing though: it was really tangy and a bit too citric for my taste. The fries were good, it was a decent portion considering it was a side and my family were able to split it and feel we each got a good share. They were a bit soggy and slightly too salty. The sogginess is forgivable because we ordered takeout. The caprese was very good. The bread was crispy, not stale, and the ratio of pesto, tomato, basil, and mozzarella was amazing. While I did not try the other two sandwiches, my parents both had good things to say about each. The store has a great atmosphere and our order was ready when we had arrived. I'm looking forward to trying some of their other options next time. Also, I normally take pictures of all my food, but we were so hungry we dove right in! read more

Nice place nice people excellent gelato. Many breads and pastries. I hope to return when I'm actually hungry.

Its a wee bit prententious and pricey but the coffee is outstanding as are the brekkie sammies and the Einstein Sq sitting area is nicely done. read more

This place is way over priced. $8 for a Cold Brew. $10 bucks for a small smoothie. The food is not worth the price. Would not go back.

Exceptional pizza. The Margherita with Mushroom is the best I have ever had. They also have a nice selection of wine which makes for a nice casual evening of dining in Einstein Square read more

Went today 10/15 with a friend on our way to Greenport. Very nice looking place, but the food was very disappointing. I had the pesto chicken salad sandwich, which tasted good but the bread was very cold and very rubbery. My friend had the grilled chicken sandwich, advertised as having Russian dressing on it but instead had way too much sriracha mayo that ruined the flavor of the sandwich. She also commented that the bread was very rubbery...not a good thing for a place that specializes in baked goods. We both had small coffee and shared a bag of chips. Total bill was a little over $40. May return for a coffee, but the food was meh and very overpriced. read more

First experience this week. The environment is friendly. Prices are generally high. Order the pizza; Quattro cheese. Ate a few bites. It was the worst pizza I have ever ordered. Never go back. read more

This is such a much needed addition to Southold! Everything is absolutely delicious and rivals the quality of anything in NYC

When you walk in and see the airy setting and nice decor you think you're in for a nice bite to eat. Wrong. Spotty service. High prices for rather bland pre-made sandwiches at $22 plus. Salads are pre-made in plastic containers-pretty bland and not mixed or cut up well.. And the pizza, well it might be good if it wasn't soggy. Hard to tell. Disappointing. Tried it 4 times and every time there was some negative experience. I'll pay for good food and good service but this place doesn't offer either. Sorry guys...I was so excited by the opening but it's a real disappointment read more

Food is delicious. Kudos to the team that runs the General, it's a great addition in Southold!

I really wanted this place to be great... and I think it has the potential but the management needs to get the team and process in a better place. My first experience was pretty terrible a few weeks ago but I let it slide because it was busy, new people were training and I totally understand it takes awhile to get to a good place. Today, I came in at a very slow time during the day and waited 10+ minutes for a coffee when I was one of 5 people in the whole place. When I asked to check in on my order, a young male cashier snapped at me and said can you just wait a few minutes and points to something behind the counter that I was not able to see (assuming something needed to be fixed or cleaned?) I then said nothing and stepped back really in shock of what just happened and continued to wait another 3-5 minutes for a cup of coffee. Three other locals/friends of the cashiers rec'd their cold brews and food prior to me even though they ordered after me. I then finally rec'd my coffee and given a short, curt "you're welcome" when I thanked him. I do think the coffee is great and the food is decent, but the staff and training needs to improve immensely. I know staffing is tough but realize this was my 2nd time in with a bad experience... I may try it one more time as the coffee is good and I do enjoy a nice cup but I may support other local spots before coming back here. I also think the price point is high, and I am used to city prices but for this spot they should maybe look at the local market and adjust a bit. read more

We were traveling through the area and decided to stop at Southold General for lunch. We are so happy we did! We had a turkey sandwich and a Caesar salad that was fresh and delicious! The turkey sandwich was so good and the bread was the best we've had so we inquired where we could purchase it and they said everything is made on the premises. The turkey is brined to perfection and the bread was the best we've had. I wish we lived in the area. We would be here often if we did! read more

Tuna sandwich was great and it eas nice sitting in the sun in the square with live music..Great place to relax and have a tasty bit.
