Coffee Barn — Local services in Town of Hempstead

‼️Be aware of spoiled milk‼️So on 10/30/25 me and my boyfriend ordered Oreo milkshakes which we loved the first time we ordered them. I ordered one with chocolate ice cream and my boyfriend ordered one with vanilla. When I tasted mine I right away knew something about it was spoiled. I tried my boyfriend’s shake and it was perfectly fine and good as usual. After a few phone calls we finally got an answer to come back for a refund. I originally was not going to write the review because the owner was apparently present when we called and they gave us free donuts, a refund, and a $50 gift card. Despite what I have seen in other reviews, the customer service has always been good and we were excited to come back and use the gift card. Today on 11/14/25 we tried to do just that and had the same issue. We decided we were going to just share a vanilla oreo shake (since I was too scared of the chocolate one from last time) and just wiping the excess shake that had spilled on the side of the cup I could smell sour milk. I thought I was imagining things but my boyfriend and I tasted the shake and it was definitely spoiled. We went back and got a refund. The workers were super nice and apologetic about it but did not seem surprised or offer an explanation or even check the milk they used. I looked at some reviews and apparently people have gotten instantly sick from the coffees and one person even wrote they got a full gallon of spoiled milk. I am mainly writing this review because something like this can get someone very sick and for this to be a reoccurring issue there has to be something wrong either with the milk or the refrigeration at the barn. Even though the service is good and the place is fun/trendy, I am afraid to return without an explanation on the...

Like other people who had bad experiences I also wanted to love this place after seeing it go viral on social media. Luckily a family member had told me not to expect too much as it wasn’t as magical as I probably was expecting and they were right. It’s basically a dairy barn, which is fine. What’s not fine is the customer service and the quality of the products. I went on a Wednesday around 3:30 PM and there was no line which was great. A teenage Justin Bieber approached my car without introducing himself or the purpose of him coming up to me. Obviously, he was taking my order, but that’s besides the point. I ordered a small s’mores iced latte and he seemed confused about the quantity of apple cider donuts. How don’t you know this information. When I got up to the window to pay the disheveled blonde girl told me my total was around $46. She had the order wrong. Somehow thought I had ordered four lattes and a few donuts. Where was the communication children? The latte tasted like a cup full of sugar, but what could I expect from a 16-year-old boy. The apple cider donuts were stale as others have noted. I would not recommend and I will not be going again. I drove half an hour for this experience and if it was down the block, I still...

This is a cute drive-through spot that screams fall for the fall lovers, but the food and service didn't deliver.

Placing our order was a somewhat confusing and awkward experience. There is no order window; you drive up to an open doorway surrounded by snacks and chip bags for sale. The two employees were not very friendly or enthusiastic when we pulled up. We ordered the soft serve ice cream with a blueberry pie slice, an apple cider donut, and a strawberry milkshake. The ice cream did not taste freshly made despite their claims. They also dumped nutmeg on top which left a bad aftertaste. The pie was bitter and unpleasant. Contrary to other reviews, the apple cider donut was soft. The strawberry milkshake was also solid.

I can't speak to the big pumpkin latte drinks that are so popular, but the quality of their other goods leaves room for improvement. The concept and aesthetic of the business are great, but they need to improve their operations and transparency about their products...
