Druthers Coffee — Restaurant in Town of Brookhaven

This is THE BEST coffee shop and café. I am usually a black cold brew drinker, occasionally with oat, and as mostly a purist I can say the coffee itself is excellent, not over or under brewed, and deliciously smooth. The lattes and more involved drinks are carefully crafted and delicious as well- my fiancé will sometimes get one and I’ll enjoy a sip or two. The menu always has something new and exciting on it! The food deserves its own review. I am slowly working my way through each delicious item. The breakfast burrito, is amazing, perfect portion and you can really tell it’s made with care. Sweet potato toast- out of this world. You would be hard pressed to find something that doesn’t make you want to come back and order it again. The pastries are AMAZING. My personal fave is the lavender loaf- iced on three sides, perfectly moist, subtle lavender flavor and just enough sweetness. If you want a little treat with your coffee, they do not disappoint. You can really tell when business owners care about the details, and Druther’s Coffee truly has it all- from the welcoming and beautifully decorated interior, to the carefully curated retail wall, and the delightful outdoor seating. Put it on your list of must visit coffee shops and prepare to be impressed. I live in Huntington, so I am not an everyday customer, but I make time to drive out and visit as often...

Needed a place to sit down and do a little work since I missed my LIRR train, and the next one wasn’t going to be for another 1.5h. Instead of going back somewhere on Stony campus, I spontaneously decided to explore the new stores they had, and saw Druthers.

It’s a cute yet fancy coffee shop with either other individuals doing there work, or friends/couples sitting down for a talk. It was quiet enough to work, but a good enough atmosphere to feel comfy talking. I was stuck between 3 drinks (London Fog, Blue Cocoa, and their green smoothie?), so the 2 ladies working in the front helped me decide. :) I decided to go out of my comfort zone and ordered something new (Iced Blue Cocoa), which only comes in one size. I forgot what the ingredients were on the menu, but it was a mix of white chocolate, butterfly pea tea, some other ingredients, and another tea?? So it was pleasantly sweet, but not TOO sweet in a good way.

They also have a guest wifi which you need to ask for the password to use. My spontaneous decision to explore and also sit down here was the best decision yet :) will be coming back to try more coffee drinks and the food. The only thing I would have to say is that I don’t think there is a spot to charge your devices? So come fully charged or with a portable! Nice...

Absolutely livid at the size of my latte for $5+ tax & tip totaling $7 for three sips. It is completely unacceptable to sell portions this small, 12oz is standard and I had no reason to believe I was getting a baby sippy cup until it was too late. Photos for size reference. Do yourselves a favor and just go to the Dunkin next door. At least you’ll get what you pay for. Super disappointed they are taking advantage of students with these prices and sizes.

**REGARDLESS of the name of the beverage, latte or another warm drink, I shared correctly how much the cost was and how you expect to receive a 12oz cup at any coffee shop for that price. It was not advertised anywhere that their special "not considered latte" drinks come in 8oz for $5 and you are meant to spend $7+ to receive a normal size... This is purely a buyer beware so that others do not walk away with a similar disappointment. Clearly from the lack of apology or offer to make this right, I can't say I will be coming back to spend more money to receive what I should have received...
