This place is very witchy as evidenced by the spooky decor and music. It is a cozy spot that is perfect for events and parties. The seating is a mix of tables, chairs and couches. They have an impressive variety of teas, coffees, food and desserts. They also have plenty of vegan options. I ordered a custom-made iced brewed Jasmine Flower Green Tea/Passionfruit Papaya Combo, no sweetener of any kind. It was refreshing, and I could taste the floral and fruity notes. I also had a slice of Chocolate Pecan Pie, which was delightful. Both orders were to go. The manager (I forgot his name) was great and knowledgeable. He was the one who served me and told me that I could sit outside and enjoy my order at any of the small tables; but that there would be no waitstaff since I took my order to go. So I sat outside and enjoyed my order, people and vehicle watching. The downside is that this place is CASH ONLY, and it took about 20 minutes for my order to come out. read more

Great food, lovely to eat outside when the weather is good! Service is friendly and prompt. Despite not having meat options (the menu is vegetarian and vegan friendly), the jackfruit bbq sliders were fantastic! Can't beat a warm cookie at the end! Great spot, highly recommend! read more

This is one of those places that is a hidden gem and a place that morphs you to Salem MA. Extensive coffee, tea and dessert menu. The bakery items are so fresh and when you are waiting to be seated , you get a glimpse of these delights. Nice foe groups or a solo venture. I had nicely steeped pot of peppermint tea. Service is great too! PSA - Cash Only - there is an ATM located inside. read more

Long overdue visit to WBCH today with my partner, and it was everything I hoped for. We only got hot drinks - a delicious hot Black Cat with lots of peanut butter, not too sweet, and my partner loved his hot Black Magic - but we are determined to come back soon to try their desserts and lunch items too. 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. read more

Another amazing and fabulous time. My friend and I had at the Witches Brew. I ordered my usual Hummus and Pita Bread, Side Salad and Sleepy Hollow Tea, they have so many other varieties to choose from but this tea is my favorite for me and my taste buds. My friend ordered the Falafel Sandwich and a Irish Breakfast Tea. Besides the delicious food what else made this time at the Witches Brew extra special. Well it was our Waitress Sam. Sam was perfection from the start of the meal to the finish. She had the best vibes and attitude and wore the coolest looking Van's. Her customer service skills outshine many other waitstaff that I've encountered in the past month. Sam is another Great addition to the already amazing team the Witches Brew employs read more

Love the decor with the Halloween theme. Very relaxing to drink coffee and have a good chat with friends or family.

VIBES I've been going to the Witches Brew since about 2008 and it's still one of my favorite cozy spots. The decor is spooky and a little eclectic. While during the day you can see the fun mixed and matched vintage furniture, at night their warm string lights make for the coziest ambiance. It's especially perfect during the Halloween season. One thing that I noticed from our most recent visit on a Friday evening is there were a good amount of families with kids and even babies. It might be quieter to go at a different time like I have in the past. Funny enough, it's probably all the people like me who used to come here in our high school days. SERVICE They get super busy and have implemented a virtual waiting list system that you can find via a link on their Instagram. It'll notify you when you're next and gives you 10 minutes to get back there. Honestly, easy nicer than waiting in a line outside in the cold! They've also always had super nice servers that regardless of time have the same friendly chill vibes. FOOD My favorite thing to get here is one of their special coffee flavors. They have a huge assortment with fun spooky names. I love picking one with a marshmallow flavor base. Might be called Midnight. They also have a huge adjustment of loose leaf teas that they serve in cast iron tea pots. These drinks pair perfectly with their desserts. My favorite things to get from them is a warm cinnamon bun a la mode. For their savory food it should be noted that the whole menu is vegetarian/vegan friendly. Something we ALWAYS get is their focaccia which is warm and cheesy. Their artichoke dip with nachos is excellent and my husband enjoyed his falafel sandwich with fries. read more

This place is disappointing. Came here for some desserts since I was craving something sweet but it was overpriced and nasty. There's not much options in long island. Thought it was gonna be decent with all the reviews this place has but it's terrible. Got two items. Carrot cake and some apple pie. Not good at all. Maybe it's good if you've never been to the city or lived in any other big city. This place would go out of business in NYC. The worst thing about this place is they charge a service fee for take out. Does not sound legal at all. Would not come back and would not recommend. read more

Came in day after Halloween with a friend visiting from out of town. First off the waiting list is no joke, it was about 2 hrs (I was placed on waiting list from my couch and it gives you a very accurate breakdown on your place in line). Once we were called inside, they verified my reservation and we were seated immediately. The decor !!!! Oooohhh la la like out of a really funky cool Halloween book. 10/10 for decor. We started out with hibiscus ginger tea with honey. Yum!!!! Appetizers were Mac n cheese and samosas. Main meals were "chicken" sandwich and falafel. For dessert a pumpkin square to go (forgot to take a photo sorry). Literally everything was delicious which is rare. Full of flavor, good serving size for the price, great service from the staff and very creative menu. I would definitely go back. The wait was worth it for the experience read more

Stopped in for the first time in a long time and was greeted by a familiar menu with still solid dessert options. The frozen hot chocolate hit the spot even on a cold winter's night, and the vegan smore was incredible. Always a wait, but it's worth it for some delicious after dinner treats! read more

I would not go back because of that service. read more

Forgot to review this gem when I went 3 weeks ago on Halloween day! Such a cute spot! Everyone was dressed up for Halloween. All vegan spot which was very interesting. I don't normally go but the Halloween theme brought me in here. I wasn't a big fan of the buffalo cauliflower because it was spicy but the gnocchi was great. I definitely enjoyed my dessert and drink! Staff were great and very accommodating. Will return :) read more

I've been a customer to Witches Brew for years. This is a good option for a late night dessert especially to converse and hang out. The decor and menu likely attracts more teens/college students/young adults. I really like that they have an extensive menu and they have options for those who are plant based/vegan. I ordered the hot chocolate and there was nothing special about it at all! It tasted like it was chocolate syrup and water mixed together which disappointed me because dessert places usually put more effort into their drinks. I would give it a 1/5 :( I was pleasantly surprised by the nachos we ordered as they were really good for a quick dessert bite and quite filling for two people to share. After we ordered the nachos we split the apple pie a la mode and it was a great mix of hot and cold. The pie is a great example for a standard pie and is a great option if you're unsure what to get and aren't feeling super adventurous. Witches Brew is not the best when I think of really great dessert but I think it provides a fun/spooky ambiance, has options for everyone and is nice for small groups. If you visit I would suggest making a reservation in advance as they are often busy! read more

I haven't been there since the early 2000, but I tried to go to their website and all.It is is a menu it doesn't offer any kind of social media link, and by the looks of their menu, they don't have a lot of gluten free options, which I believe they should have in this day and age.... Hopefully, I'll be back one day to visit. read more

The tea is good the rose one is my favorite. The desserts are not. I tried the cheesecake and cookies very bland and stale for my liking other than that it's a vibe the atmosphere reminds me of the spooky parts of Louisiana. There's no parking so you have to park in front of houses and the waiting list is probably the most annoying part. It's a little pricey but if you want good tea and don't mind waiting then definitely come read more

Super fun and cute hidden gem! They don't take reservations and it could be a crazy wait (online it said THREE hours- but we ended up getting in earlier than that). They have a wide variety of teas, food, etc. everything was great, especially the tea and the cheesecake. CASH ONLY! read more

First time visit, recommended by friends. Parking was easy: on street in front or residential parking is around the corner. We ordered: Nacho ( fresh ingredients. Recommend) Mac and cheese ( definitely will order again) Soft pretzels ( soft and moist ) Greek salad ( fresh!) Burritos teriyaki with fries ( it was ok) Pumpkin pie ( rich pumpkin taste) NY cheesecake ( yum! ) Pro: - very cute design. Halloween all year round. - great friendly staff. - didn't think food can be so delicious without meat. We enjoyed it especially the homemade mac and cheese. Definitely star of the meal. Fresh ingredients. Con: - CASH ONLY!!! ATM onsite. -lighting was dim. I had sone difficulty reading the menu or seeing what's on my nachos. But my eyesight is not the best to start with. - Table was small for a real dinner meal for - It's designed to be a coffee table only. However, the experienced staff brought in a small table next to us without us asking. - least favorite of the night has been the fries. They don't seem too fresh. Little soggy to taste. - super busy on weekends in October. Waiter said weekdays and other months are no problem. If you are planning to go on October weekends, make sure you reserve online. My wait was 2.5 hours online. Sometimes the reservation line closed when the waiting time goes beyond 3 hours. Then you just have to keep checking. It may open on and off again if someone cancel. Overall. It's a great restaurant. My family including a 10 and 13 years old enjoy it. You can see the effort put in by the owner to create such ambience. We sat comfortably and enjoyed our meal. - read more

Witches brew is always a hit for me. It's great for catching up with friends, a first date, or just to be alone and unwind. Key things to remember: to make a reservation you must do so on google.com and then Google the witches brew, when I tried to do it via Safari it did not work. The second thing is that it is cash only they do have an ATM just in case you forget. Parking can be very annoying so just be aware of that. The menu is a large variety ranging from vegetarian to vegan options and the food is good! The drink selection is huge ranging from coffee, espresso, tea, to soda's. The desserts are very good as well. I usually get the voodoo iced or hot :) The vibes are very relaxed and cozy. It's a great atmosphere to take pictures. The staff is friendly and as attentive as they can be seeing that they do get quite busy. Always will come back read more

Witches Brew serves vegan food and has tons of options for coffee, tea and drinks! Other items in their menu include appetizers, mains, salad, sandwiches and, of course, dessert. The decor is vintage and the interior is very different from a typical coffee house. The vibes work best if you're visiting in the evenings. I went there with my friend and she got the Mac n Cheese (not pictured), Vegan Brownie with Ice Cream and Green Tea. I got the Crème Brûlée (around $10) and the Pink Angel, which was an Iced Coffee with Strawberry-Vanilla flavors (around $8). Crème Brûlée is my absolute go-to and it tasted great here! Please also be mindful that this is a cash only place! read more

"You put the line in the coconut..." H.Nilsson There's magic here..."Practical Magic". I don't know about you but I love a witchy, nineties vibe cafe. This is like "The Craft" meets "Gilmore Girls". Do I drag my boyfriend to take me at every chance I get?!?! Yes! Did my friend tell me she would take me anywhere and money was no object and I picked "Witches Brew"?!?! Yes! I loved the brussel sprouts, the hummus, the sandwiches, the nachos, the seasonal biscotti and so much more. I like the simplicity of the vegetarian and at times vegan options available. I wish it was closer so I could bring my ghoul-friends. To us, every day is Halloween! "And now..a warning" (Death Becomes Her). This place is HELLA popular! It will be difficult to snag a table at prime time. Plan accordingly. May I suggest, a ghoul date followed by some thrifting down the street. I must mention the huge array of beverages from coffee concoctions, teas and such. This is a perfect place for a frozen cappucino and a vegan cheesecake. All my friends who grew up in this area love this place and I can see why. BRING CASH! read more

I absolutely love this place, I wish they had more places like this on long island. I love going here for a sweet treat after dinner.

Super cute vegetarian restaurant, Halloween themed all year round. Cash only. The food is just ok, the drinks are what I go for. The frozen hot chocolate is my favorite. Spring rolls and risotto balls were good, buffalo cauliflower was very salty and could have been crispier. Perfect spot for family , friends, or date night. Be prepared to wait for a table They also offer vegan options A little pricey for what it is, 20% gratuity included regardless of party size read more

We were told that a 20% gratuity was required and that leaving our usual 10-15% tip was "unacceptable." We were also told not to return if we could not leave the 20% tip. Overall, the way we were spoken to felt dismissive and unprofessional, especially given that I have been a customer since 2016 and have recommended this place to so many people over the years. Haven't been here in a while since the army but yeah very disappointing. read more

I used to love this place, but after our last experience, I'm extremely disappointed. We were told to put our name on the waiting list, which was already about an hour. After waiting, we received a confirmation that our table was ready -- only to be told multiple times that they were "still cleaning it." Meanwhile, it was obvious they gave our table to someone else. We ended up waiting an additional hour with the same excuse repeated over and over. When we finally expressed our frustration, we were told, "We don't think you'll have a good time with your frustration." Honestly... what? That response was completely unprofessional and dismissive. We decided to leave. I've never been treated like that at a restaurant before. Super disappointed. read more

Second visit to witches brew. Let's start here. Street parking only, one bathroom (usually a line), cash only (atm inside), all vegetarian menu. Went on a Sunday at about 3. Street parking was okay. Got in and we decided to sit on a couch rather than a traditional table. For eating normal meal, it isn't ideal but some small appetizers or drinks, it's perfect. The place quickly filled up. The place itself is super unique, very antique atmosphere. We ordered potato's (good but nothing special) and some coffees (outstanding) off their menu. These things came out rather quickly. We wanted to order a little more and our server was all over the place. I got the macaroni, which was nice but I felt like it was a little underwhelming. He got the Korean fried "chicken", both of us have never tried a chicken substitute & we both were very pleased by this! Overall, food is good! Not outstanding. But a blessing for vegetarians. We ended up waiting a half hour for our check & I then got up and asked for it. I understand they're incredibly busy, I don't fault them. so if you're in a rush, ask for it when you order the food. read more

Cash only. Ambience was lovely both inside and out. I sat outside to enjoy the darling outdoor area. Love that this is a veg/vegan place. The staff were all lovely especially my server (Kayla). The drink and food came out quickly. I got the chai (made by brewing real tea/spices) with steamed oat milk. For my meal, I got the Korean BBQ fried chicken sandwich. The chicken was a bit too thick, but still enjoyable especially with the spicy/sweet glaze, v mayo and all the wonderfully crunchy toppings. The pretzel bun was a nice touch too. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area again. Very full but they have amazing desserts with a changing daily menu. The top 2 tiers of the display case were all vegan! I got a box to go to enjoy at home for the next few days. read more

Just want to say stay away from the eggplant crostini. It should've been listed on the menu as eggplant toast. I ordered it tonight and I got 2 pieces of rye toast with roasted eggplant lathered on them topped with tomato, basil, balsamic and dill. Micro greens were on the side for me to put on. Okay first crostini is made with toasted baguette, Italian bread even ciabatta not 2 full size pieces of toasted rye bread. Second why would you put dill on top of it when it has balsamic and basil. Once I took the dill off it was nice to eat but it would've tasted better on the proper bread. Sorry I didn't take a picture as proof. Was it nice to eat, Yes, would I order it again No. Also beware if something isn't made correctly but it's what you ordered you will have to go over the top to get it removed. Even if you haven't even touched it more than a small taste they will try to tell you oh but this is what you ordered how can you not like it. Well if it's not made correctly of course it's going to be bland and horrible. I've never been somewhere that if you don't like something they don't take it off or replace it with a different selection of the same price etc... It's not like I consumed it all or most of it. I had one taste and it was clearly not right but somehow that was my fault for ordering it. read more

I've been here so many times. The food here is delicious. There's honestly so many options to choose from - I don't know which are my favorites. If you just want to stop in for dessert they have brownie al la mode which is my favorite with a side of rice tea. This place is real neat. I believe when it gets warm they have outdoor seating. It may be handicap accessible through their back entrance. Depending on how busy they are there might be a little bit of a wait but it's worth it. read more

Really nice staff and cute place. The drinks and dessert are really good, can't say much about the actual meals but I'd like to try that one day.

Great place to hang out with friends and grab a late night sweet treat. Parking can sometimes be a tad difficult in the area and they're cash only. But this coffee shop never misses.

Their apple crumb cheesecake was amazing with the perfect amount of sweetness and nice and smooth. It paired well with their tea which was quite exhaustive and unique.

I was going to post a longer review about my experience but here is the bare bones experience i had waiting to eat here. -Host sighed when we walked in and told us they're full and there is about a 15 minute wait. -45 minutes later we asked if the wait has updated or if a table would be clear soon as it's been triple the time. Host told me "Well i'm sorry i'm not god and there are people here who should've left and haven't." It seems like there's a really high demand to eat here and maybe there should be a policy to get people moving if they're done with their food and you have a line out the door and groups of 3 sitting at 6 person tables. read more

We used to go there years ago. We stopped because the kids were young and their waiting list was so difficult. Fast forward to now and they have an electronic waiting list that works well. The food and selection is amazing! Everything is vegetarian or vegan, which is rare for a restaurant in Nassau. The mood is intimate and dark/funky. We'll definitely be back. Oh, they only take cash so be prepared. read more

been coming to witches brew for years & it's truly an LI gem. the vibe is wholesome and so different from most restaurants and cafés around here. i've tried about 90% of the menu and can honestly say everything is so good. they've also been thoughtful about food allergies and dietary restrictions long before it became a trend & created dishes that can be tailored to so many people. you can really tell that they've had the eye for gastronomy for a long time. read more
