So I’ve been to this place a few times I randomly found it walking on Main Street. I thought it was great. Initially thought the atmosphere was phenomenal. I loved the vintage, authentic coffee shop vibe. As somebody who works remotely, I love coming to a coffee shop and enjoying the atmosphere while getting some work done. Today I decided to spend the entire day here from like 830 to around 7 at night. You would think that they would appreciate a customer loving their establishment that much that they decide to spend their entire day there. But I had the police called on me and I was kicked out for the night because I spent the entire day. I was sitting in one of the really comfortable blue chairs in the front. I mind you I bought a bunch of stuff already throughout the day. Next thing you know I have three cops in front of me asking me to leave. And they said you spent the entire day here so they probably don’t want you here. Like I said, I’ve been here several times spend my own personal money to enjoy a coffee shop authentic experience while getting some work done. I work in finance so I like to enjoy a good cup of coffee or tea while looking at the charts. I really don’t know how to feel, getting the cops called on you and getting kicked out is really embarrassing an hurtful. I didn’t cause a disturbance or yell at anybody I didn’t steal anything I didn’t do anything. I’m a customer and a supporter of awesome cafés. Calling the cops on me lets me know that I’m not welcome here even though I spend money like everybody else. I thought my time being spent hear it throughout the day would be appreciated. I typically go to Starbucks. I guess that’s where I’ll be going back to since I’m not welcome...
Read moreBeen looking for cafes near me on Long Island lately and this is my favorite by far! Places to sit, drink, relax, nice interior and ambience. I really like their lattes and the staff is friendly (mostly, see update below). We need more cafes like this in our area, make sure to stop by and support if you can!
Update: Came here with some friends visiting for the first time from out of state. First exposure to Long Island was here, and it wasn't a good impression.
Me and my friend stayed back from the line, waiting for another friend to use the restroom after a long drive, and debating on what to get. Went up with both friends, discussed what to get (no one on line yet) then waited. 4 workers, no one asked us if we were being helped or what we wanted whatsoever. Then 2 people came behind us, they were asked/helped. Then some more people behind them came up and they were asked/helped. I spoke up a couple of times but everyone was walking around and doing stuff.... normally not a big deal but the fact we were ignored and THEN people behind us were helped.... was very embarrassing/disrespectful for me since I liked the cafe and was showing my friends, super unprofessional. Don't know if they were confused or did it on purpose? They were workers on a Saturday i didnt recognize, when I come by myself i had no problems so far.
We walked out without ordering anything, might come back at some point but kinda disappointed for now, it...
Read moreSo I am giving this review as I walk away from the Sayville BEAN because of the way I have just been treated. My husband and I had dinner at The Wayfare kitchen and decided to walk over to the Sayville Bean Coffee House. At 7:14 I grabbed the handle of the door to the coffee house to walk inside, and the door was locked. All the lights were on and there was an employee, a female, sweeping or mopping the floor so I knocked on the door, she started to approach the door when another employee, another female, from behind the counter, said something to her. She promptly turned and walked behind the counter and the 2 of them spoke, started backing out of view, and began laughing!!!! I stood there amazed...after a couple of minutes I guess, one of them poked her head out, saw me still standing there, and ducked back under cover. Then the lights were all turned off, it was not 7:30 yet. This is to the OWNER. I truly hope you replace these employees with ppl that actually care about their jobs. 7:14!! They made a decision to CLOSE YOUR store 45 minutes early!!! There needs to be repercussions, this is not okay !!! I truly hope when I return those girls are no...
