Ble Cafe & Bakery — Restaurant in Town of North Hempstead

What a wonderful space! The design is both modern-chic- and warm , so it’s like a design unicorn. It gives off an upscale ambiance while at the same time because it’s in a village like Port Washington it has that neighborhood bakery feeling. Situated across from the Port Washington train station it’s perfect stop for morning coffee and breakfast on the go. But once those suckers leave for their jobs in the city, ah, here is where it gets good. Stroll in and choose from every coffee wish you have , stop drooling over the freshly made pastries and pick one or two and undo a button or two and enjoy. Sit in a comfy cozy chair while you do the inter web thing . Or stop by for dinner and a proper meal and play some board games or read a book from their nook. Any time of day is the right time of day for this place. Breakfast, lunch, dinner or hopefully after dinner dessert spot. You could have a different dish everyday for a whole year here. Excuse me but I must have to go to the big and tall shop after...

Had coffee & tea early in the morning with a friend two days ago—fabulous tea service and the cappuccino was just right. Went back later with my son--he LOVED their chicken club sandwich. What's not to love? It was a generous portion. Plenty of chicken and amazing sauce on the side and FRESH french fries. Service was more than attentive. The waitress was lovely and when I looked up for a moment just to take in the beautiful space, a male server stepped over to see if I needed anything. Asked me if I needed lemon or honey with the tea-- that impressed me. Usually you have to ask for everything. Also lovely attention to details with the choice of dishes and cutlery and variety of cups for drinks. Lots of options for pastries as well. Will go back again this weekend for...

Very cute and trendy place. They sometimes make mistakes with the orders but are good at resolving things if you talk to them.

I like the mini filo pastries with feta, or feta and spinach (triangle in pic). Very pleasantly surprised with the pumpkin filo pastry too. Blueberry cheese croissant - excellent. The peppermint tea - excellent.

Loved the lemon meringue tart (ate before I took a pic), chocolate thing I got (not sure the name of it) and the raspberry eclair.

The baklavas - worth a try (half a piece is plenty per person, imo) but a bit pricey and not as good as the Turkish ones! Sorry!

Chicken soup - not a fan. The chicken is hard to chew. Fruit tart - forgettable. Pineapple cookie - forgettable.

In any event - I am excited to keep trying...
