Standard Pour LI

I enjoy coming here for light meals and coffee. I really love the atmosphere and the diversity of people that visit. I love the energy around and tend to get a lot of work done when here.

Standard Pour is exactly what we needed on Rockaway Ave! Everything on their menu is so tasty. My favorite drink is the Pistachio Chocolate Rose latte (iced with an extra shot!). I also love that they have a lot of gluten free options! Their GF chicken salad sandwich is delicious. Also, the staff is friendly and there is plenty of space inside for a comfortable (socially distanced) experience!

Cozy coffee shop. Food and drinks served. Soft chairs inside and 2 tables outside. Latte served in mugs not disposable cups

This coffee shop is super cute! Ordered shrimp and grits, my friend had the chicken and waffles and both were AMAZING! The latte’s we tried was delicious! I loved the winter spice latte and even ordered another to go! Definitely will come back and will bring my friends! Very cute, cozy and beautiful brunch! The owners were also amazing queens! Love the Vibe! Check this out, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Standard Pour is exactly what Long Island needed, a nice spot that has everything our culture and the community was missing. Good ambiance, food, a communal work space, great music, and occasional additional calmer nightlife fun (they host various weekly events & happy hrs). Coffee tasty, espresso beverages 10/10 food 10/10. Every time I'm in Long Island I make sure to stop in. Avocado toast is some of the best I've ever tasted .. shrimp & grits *starts drooling thinking about it* ... what more can I say they are a must-try !

After reading all of the wonderful reviews yesterday, today I ventured out with my Mom for an early meal and coffee. The coffee is SO good. The salmon and goat cheese avocado toast is AMAZINGLY delicious. Mom had the waffles with berries on the side and and she truly enjoyed. The service was fantastic and fast. Well done, ladies! Standard Pour does NOT disappoint. I have the loyalty card loaded in my Apple Wallet, and I WILL be back. And I will be telling all of my friends. You should tell yours too. :-)

such great coffee and kind & friendly staff! they have a large variety of non-dairy milks and are always coming up with new drinks. the atmosphere is welcoming, calm, and is a great place to get some work done. they also have hand sanitizers at every table and each table is socially distanced so you can enjoy a drink or meal with peace of mind

What a lovely experience. Came hungry and left full and happy. Very nice atmosphere. Perfect music selections and it wasn’t BLASTING so you can actually enjoy a conversation with your guests. Shrimp & grits were full of flavor and enough for 2 ppl. Oh and the vanilla latte with a shot of rum was the icing on the cake for me!

Chocolate rose pistachio latte is everything. I love there cupcakes too. The Avocado toast is amazing. The spot is classy and such a must have stop if you're in the area. They now also have wine nights too!

I had the best bacon, egg, and cheese I've ever had in my life. It was served on a tasty pretzel bun which really drove the flavor home for me. I also felt fancy because it was served with fruit. For drinks, I had a tasty hot chocolate. This is definitely an alternative to a pricy Starbucks. I love the neighborhood, welcoming feel. I will definitely be a regular here!

New, Delightful and Esthetically Pleasing. Service is Great, regular coffee is too light for my taste but, that’s just my taste. The pastries are amazing. My favorite drink so far Pistachio Chocolate Rose Latte 😋never had anything like it.

I have patronized several times at different times of the day. The consistency is top tier. Vibes/ Food and Drinks are all perfectly executed. Nice decor. Very welcoming and most importantly diverse. Everyone’s space is respected and i like that you can come for some quiet time, even with people mingling and having social time. No one is loud etc. Staff are polite. They have a reward system so collect those points!! Overall 10/10. Spread the word but don’t spread the word, if you know what i mean. This place is a gem.

A place I found on a whim and I was not disappointed at all! The baconeggandcheese is the best one I’ve had in my life. It’s not your standard breakfast sandwich. Instead it’s sweet and savory with crispy bacon, creamy cheese and smooth eggs on a pretzel bun. This black-owned cafe is definitely my “sitcom meet-up spot” (something like central perk but better).

The service and the food were good . There wasn't a long wait for service, ordering, or for our food. I will definitely be back. As someone who doesn't eat meat, I have options, which is something I appreciate. SP is casual enough for just coffee to go but also a good spot to spontaneously grab something to eat. Looking forward to going again during happy hour.

The shop is nice & comfortable. Waitresses are pleasant & the Pistachio Rose Latte is a nice drink. HOWEVER, my first cup was not hot, lukewarm. I drank it because I didn't want to complain. Food: Biscuits & Sausage Gravy was COLD, the gravy wasn't really gravy was a loose sauce which wasn't very tasty & the two biscuits were HARD. Very disappointed. No one ever asked how my food was. ☀️Lady to my left ate 2 spoon full of grits & left it. Man to my right sent food back 2x's. 💢Cook was walking around instead of focusing on the kitchen. $14.00 for ground sausage, eggs, & biscuits, at least make it good.

My brother made a reservation for our family for Mother’s Day brunch. He made the reservation on open table, which Standard Pour does not use and therefore didn’t have the reservation, but they still seated us. The staff was so nice about the mix up. We sat down, ordered, and like the other Mother’s Day review, we ended up waiting about an hour and a half for our food. We sat down around 10:05am and didn’t get any food until 11:56am. Now, the food was bomb. I attached a pic of the Cobb salad because it was delicious and so much that my husband had to finish it. Everyone else liked their meal as well and that’s why I’m giving 3 stars. The service can definitely be improved. And not speaking about the wait time for food, but communicate with the patrons and let us know what the status on the food is or at least come by the table and see if we need more water or something. The small carafe they placed on the table never got refilled. I feel like the staff barely came by and that made the waiting worse. I think the owner might have come by and spoke to us about the open table mix up but literally no one spoke about how long it took to get our food. But other than the service, I’d consider revisiting for that salad again.

someone else mentioned, the waitresses are nice but the food is ehh and it takes forever to get your order. Took almost 35 minutes to place our entree orders and then an hour to receive. several of our entrees came out when everyone else had finished. The shrimp and grits tasted great but then one of the shrimps were undercooked, I guess they were rushing to get the last plate out. The chicken and waffles was the best entrees. The mimosas taste more like orange juice with a light splash of champagne. The sangria tasted more spice than tart and fruity. Overall, I wouldn’t come back anytime soon. I recommend the place to hire more staff to serve and cook so service could be quicker and more efficient.

Quaint almost cozy on first sight Long Island spot. I’m always on the hunt for the next awesome Black Owned business to support. Landed here through a positive recommendation but left feeling super disappointed. No welcome or greeting upon entering which is like restaurant 101. You are just left standing there trying to figure out what to do next. Pretty unfortunate. Didn’t want to leave without buying something so I sprang for a muffin which was excellent (but was told is not made there). Welp! Our presence didn’t seem to matter and there was an unpleasant odor that did not sit well with us. Double welp! The positives are .. a cute decor and set up in an easy to get to location. They have promise and I hope they will get there. I’ll give them another try when there is an event happening. Rooting for you guys!

My friend and I visited this establishment yesterday 10/16/22. We were excited because it was a black owned place and wanted to try it. But when we got there we were super disappointed, if I could give zero stars I would. The place and decor looked great and music was nice. We walked in and was unsure what to do since no one greeted us at the door. After seconds I asked the young lady at the front should we seat ourselves, she said yes. We finally found a seat, placed our orders. We had to pay and tip upfront, later finding out they didn’t have half the items on the menu. Service was horrible from start to finish. The mimosa came out with a dirty wine glass that had lip gloss/lipstick smudges at the top. I requested for it to be changed and she quickly apologized. We waited for over an hour when another woman(unsure if she was a manager, owner or waitress) told us they didn’t have the grits that I ordered) for shrimp and grits. She insisted I order something else. I asked for chicken and waffles but they did not have waffle batter. She coaxed me into ordering something else and I finally decided on Caribbean skillet which I struggled to eat and could not finish it. The Caribbean skillet hardly any salted fish, burnt and was very dry. The menu reads salt fish with potatoes and the skillet contained plantains and cassava. Seem like this restaurant just substitutes whatever they have on that day. My friend kindly asked about the rest of her order and the server/manager replied “ it’s coming, I only have two hands” That response was just rude after we waited patiently 90 mins for our food. This server was seen laughing and talking to a table next to us while we sat and waited for food that wasn’t even available. She offered us gift cards but that did not make up for the bad service and bad food. This morning we still have a pending charge for original order since what we ended up ordering cost less than original order. They promised it would change but still waiting. The tip amount was never adjusted to the corrected bill. To me this is just dishonest business practice, despite the amount. If we had known upfront they didn’t have the items on the menu, we would have gone elsewhere. However they let you order an unavailable item, wait for an hour so that you may be more inclined to stay. My friend and I was so disappointed in everything at this restaurant . We could have gone somewhere else and gotten so much more for our money. I will not be returning and I do NOT recommend this place to anyone.

I'm going to write a detailed complaint about this because this hasn't been the first time but the 4th time this has happened. I'm an advocate for small businesses but if you have business hours...actually follow the hours you have provided. First, it was the transition from the cafe to the wine bar and not allowing certain cafe drinks after a certain time. Then the occasional they are supposed to open but they are not. It's so frustrating since this is one of the ONLY cafes that we have around where we can sit down. December 28, I come at 10:40AM, a hour after the holiday business hours indicated on the website and on the door. Doors locked and no one to be found. This is the 4th time this has happened.
