Visit Date: January 20, 2026 I got the LI cafe passport book from my co-worker for Christmas. In January I got to go to two coffee shops in this book, for five was the second one. I went with one of my friends. We both had the mochas and I had a shot of espresso because the book recommended it. The espresso was good, not overly bitter, pretty much just right. The mocha was amazing a good ratio of chocolate, coffee and espresso. It was pretty busy here and the atmosphere was nice. The snacks looked really good maybe one day I'll go back for a pastry. I give for five five stars and five beans and would recommend coming here if you like coffee shops.

Great spot! Very busy too! Great vibe. Lots of people hanging and chatting and even many with their laptops out working. In addition to the pastries and such that you see and the items in the case that you can grab yourself, there is also a menu to order from. The food items were really good. I would only add that the prices are $$$$. Just so you are not shocked. Go enjoy a cup of coffee alone or with a friend 😋.

Food is considered a bit pricey to me, but I do find it to be delicious and consistent no matter the location. Service is quality. Baristas are kind, welcoming and helpful. Above all, I can study in peace without anyone kicking me out or indicating to leave now. FYI. I only ever order the same food, occasionally switch up my drinks. I wish I knew before about the rewards card.

I had an amazing time at For Five Coffee. The food was tasty and the coffee was perfect. The staff were super friendly and always smiling. They made me feel very welcome and took good care of me. The place is cozy and comfortable, perfect for relaxing. It's a spot where anyone can feel at home. Highly recommend!

A great upscale local coffee shop serving great drinks and fantastic food. On top of the great coffee, tea, and baked goods, there's a pretty solid food menu full of fantastic breakfast and brunch options. Everything is definitely on the upscale side, so be prepared for higher price points for everything. It's a super modern, bright, clean, and spacious cafe, with plenty of tables, chairs, couches and armchairs. It's a great place to get some work done, read, or catch up with a friend over coffee or a meal. The staff are really friendly and attentive. You order at the counter and they'll bring your food out to your table, and pick things up after. Overall, a fantastic spot in a great neighborhood!

I was very impressed with For Five. The atmosphere was clean and classy, the food was delicious and filling, and the coffee was incredible! Keep in mind, you don't get waited on while you're here; you pick wherever you want to sit and you order at the register. They give you a table number and then your order is brought out to you. The line can get long to order and it can be annoying waiting in line instead of waiting at your table to order. I've had a lot of the food items on the menu, I have yet to be disappointed with any of them. There are plenty of options ranging from steak and salads to pancakes and oatmeal. They pride themselves on their coffee that they roast daily, and I have to say that it's definitely one of the better East Coast roasts that I've had. Hot or iced it's all delicious. Highly recommend trying some of their flavored lattes.

When I am on seventh street visiting friends at Adelphi university this is a great place to study and hang out because of it's amazing atmosphere. It's almost like you're in a living room, it's homely while sleek and modern. I come with my friends very often and I basically lived here one week last year. The drinks and pastries are a little pricey for my pocketbook, hence the point off, but the quality is there. Their various loafs and gooey chocolate chip cookies are especially standout items. The baristas and cashiers are very friendly and always willing to help. If you're willing to give starbucks, dunkin or the french workshop down the street a break, give this place a shot.

Had a quick bite here and was pleasantly surprised at how cozy this place was. Very spacious with an open concept. I loved how they have sample dishes out so you can actually see what you’re getting. Perfect for people who are very visual like me. I need photos on the menu but this was a great alternative too!

I love their bare Espresso station! Amazing sandwich bread, croissants, etc. Confusing entrance and exit: you don't know if you're supposed to seat yourself or what. My friend and I were walking around aimlessly for about half a minute, clueless. Then even more confusion when after you order: they give you a numbered sign to bring back to your table, but they still call out your drink by name... They should let you know this, or have a sign. It's spacious enough, the food's delicious, but that rear door really lets in the wind: Surprise, napkins from a few tables gone. They seem to have a lot of outdoor seating, so I would recommend going during the warmer months.

Really love this coffee shop/cafe. The venue is open and well lit and always has a solid crowd with some working at tables and other eating or picking up coffee. Was nice out so was able to sit outside too which was great. Had their chicken Caesar sandwich along with a raspberry team and a cookie. Great casual workday vibe and delicious sandwich. I’ll be back!!!!
