This place is a hidden Gem. Was here just to grab a bite since I'm waiting around the area. When you first arrived it looks pretty normal like any bakery/diner order egg and toast but the Egg was cool perfectly. The toast was extra thick when match with the Egg it was such great bite. Did I mention they also included home fries add a little of thay 😱. A must go if you around. So glad I had a chance to stop by

We had a wonderful breakfast at The Gourmet Whaler, and it exceeded all expectations! The Italian hot chocolate was velvety, rich, and delightfully comforting—truly a treat. The avocado toast was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with every bite feeling like a little indulgence. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the hospitality. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with warmth and kindness, making us feel right at home. Their genuine care and thoughtful wishes added a special touch to our meal. We’re already planning to return—again and again! Highly recommend The Gourmet Whaler for a delicious, heartwarming start to your day. ☕🍞💚

Great food and the best lattes. My favorite is their Nutella latte. Cute and cozy. Counter ordering and your food is brought to your table in takeout boxes. Not fancy but fun and every single item we ordered has been out of this world delicious!!!!

The breakfast BLT here is so textually balanced and it has the perfect bread too. Also THE COFFEE CAKE is honestly the best I’ve had. It’s perfectly squishy and it has like an unassuming addictiveness. It almost feels like it has a secret ingredient or something? It was shockingly good. I’d drive there for just that, but every thing I had here was delicious and well worth it. The people working here are also extremely kind. It’s not every day when you find a perfect trifecta of great service, delicious baked goods and food, and calm and clean atmosphere. A new favorite.

We discovered The Gourmet Whaler’s Italian Hot Chocolate, and it’s amazing! We also got our now usual Whaler Burger, fish, and shrimp tacos. In the summertime, we discovered the watermelon lemonade and Frida Panda tried watermelon for the first time! 🐾🐼♥️🍉

What a great little find in the small village of cold spring harbor. We stopped here on a whim for lunch and had some great food and coffee. My wife and I split the shrimp and quinoa bowl, the chicken wrap, and two tacos. I know a lot of food, and we had plenty of leftovers, lol. The tacos were fire, some of the best basic shrimp tacos I've had in a while. The bowl was also very good and had a nice Chipotle mayo. The wrap was nice and fresh. We also got coffee and cookies for dessert. The chocolate chip cookies were awesome and a must try! Definitely recommend this spot for either food, baked items, or just a cup of coffee! Enjoy!

You can choose a table which you want and order food at the register. They serve food in the boxes, and you can enjoy at the Cafe or take it with yourself The food was really good. Cold Spring Harbor is a very beautiful place.  Cafe is on Main Street. Spacious parking lot just across the street

I was so hungry I could eat a whale, but settled for 2 shrimp tacos instead that were so good! My wife had a grilled chicken sandwich that she enjoyed as well. The owner, Doris is very friendly and does all the baking for the bakery.

You can tell right away from the moment that you step inside that the owners put their heart and soul into this amazing place. The atmosphere and décor is warm, bright and inviting and the food is a perfect match. I had the shrimp tacos which were overflowing to the point I had to use a fork to rescue the droppings. The ingredients are fresh and made perfectly into every bite. My husband and I also got raspberry tea and cherry limeade which were refreshing to drink while admiring everything. You absolutely have to get some cookies to take home with you, unless you're like me and they didn't survive the car ride. I love this place and I can't wait till our next visit!

Looked up a brunch spot, found this spot on google maps. Told my wife about it and went for brunch. We ordered the Breakfast B.L.T, Egg Avocado Wrap, Chocolate chip scorn, pumpkin pie slice and to drink it was a coffee cappuccino and the iced honey vanilla latte, everything was scrumptious and very filling. The restaurant had so much to offer such as bakery goods, ice cream parlor, coffee shop, breakfast and lunch platters, the dine in area was spacious and very clean. Customer service was super nice and very accommodating. Definitely would recommend to people near by and people who are willing to travel.

@Nick: Best person working there. ReAlly funny and helpful. Really takes care of the customer.👌 -Best lobster rolls on the island/NYS - both in quantity and quality. -bright spot with big windows, reasonable space in their seating area. Quirky and quaint. They have their own candy bar, make their own fudge and have a little kids area. -If you're in town this is a great place visit explore.👍

Great food and nice atmosphere. The place is great and the service is fast and friendly. Food prices are a little high but overall would recommend

Ordered lunch and was missing extra side that was ordered and paid for. Poor customer service as I requested a refund of extra item that was missing and they could not accommodate. I am not making a trip or need a delivery of the side. The right thing to do is give a refund and not “promise” a credit on future order. Disappointing and you are losing a customer. Its not about money but the service and expectations.

This place looks cute. We came in here for a quick bite after going to the museum and the hostess was kind of snippy. We wound up leaving because the tables were dirty and too close together. Update: the owner did respond, albeit 2 months later, but it was justifiable. I am going to give it another shot and see how it goes. Will post again.

Cute and quaint little eatery with a good selection of food. Also had some fudge, ice cream and other treats. The food was good and our family enjoyed our rainy day here. Kids menu had a big heaping fried clams, which was a bit tough, but still good! The Cuban sandwich was great!
