I get the cookies and iced coffee but I’m here to talk about the cookies- a MUST have!! So so so good!!! I would go back weekly for these. Worth every cent!

I work in the same shopping center as Druthers. It’s so nice to have friendly neighbors! Everything here is fresh and delicious! Staff are also super knowledgeable about their products to help you choose the right drink!

Druther’s was a great, chill café with friendly staff and good food. There was a good amount of seating, (especially outdoor seating!) though there were very few power outlets, so not necessarily a place you can stay and do work. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back!

If I had my druthers, Id go to this coffee shop every morning. But I rarely have my way in anything save for my order of their cold fashioned(pictured). Its a deliciously intense mixture of cold brew and bitters, burnt orange and a luxardo maraschino cherry. Their rather stellar barista tells me its going away soon with the season which really should cost them 2 stars, but Ill be kind. The space is clean and bright, the egg sandwich simple but unforgettable thanks to a whole mess of crispy shallots. Outdoor or indoor seating is blessed by lots of sunlight perfect for showing off your love of James Joyce.

Absolutely livid at the size of my latte for $5+ tax & tip totaling $7 for three sips. It is completely unacceptable to sell portions this small, 12oz is standard and I had no reason to believe I was getting a baby sippy cup until it was too late. Photos for size reference. Do yourselves a favor and just go to the Dunkin next door. At least you’ll get what you pay for. Super disappointed they are taking advantage of students with these prices and sizes.**REGARDLESS of the name of the beverage, latte or another warm drink, I shared correctly how much the cost was and how you expect to receive a 12oz cup at any coffee shop for that price. It was not advertised anywhere that their ~special~ not considered latte drinks come in 8oz for $5 and you are meant to spend $7+ to receive a normal size... This is purely a buyer beware so that others do not walk away with a similar disappointment. Clearly from the lack of apology or offer to make this right, I cant say I will be coming back to spend more money to receive what I should have received the first time.

Great coffee cafe, warm atmosphere and staff. Many healthy options for food and delicious scones and the olive muffin is a must!

Review №9

Rather rude and snobby at the counter, and quite overpriced just because theres no other cafe nearby.I asked why theyd charge me $4 for steamed milk (made up price, not on their menu) while cappuccino (=steamed milk+espresso) is $3.75. He aggressively says hes not here to debate with me the menu -- by which he probably meant his own made up price...They also charged about $14 for a small piece of mediocre butternut squash pie.Wont return.

The burnt caramel latte was delicious in iced as well as hot options! The interior of the shop is also very asthetically pleasing and extremely clean. The employees were also very helpful and informative with their menu items. Definitely worth the stop!

Visited for the first time this morning, and it is now my favorite coffee shop. I wish it was a little closer, but Ill have to find some more excuses to go to Stony Brook. Coffee was absolutely delicious, and they have multiple vegan options which I will have to go back to try. Very bright and open atmosphere and super friendly staff.

Wonderful cafe! Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The Egg sandwich on the Everything Bagel is simply amazing. Great coffee & tea (hot & cold). They have good Wifi and dont mind you sitting and working for a while. Convenient location, practically across the street from the Stony Brook train station and just a few minutes from the Stony Brook University campus.

Modern take on coffee and creative. I had the burnt caramel and lavender iced coffees. Both were memorable, yum! Breakfast sandwich was just okay and a bit too expensive.

Everything you want in a coffee shop: great coffee, upbeat atmosphere, caring/friendly owner and staff. Plus, delightful tea. Sadly opened after I moved, but will put it on my route when I visit.

Ive tried dozens of cafés around LI and this is by far the best one. The quality of each menu item is superb. The employees were nice and provided excellent service. Their vegan options are excellent as well. Be sure to try the vegan bagels with tofu cream cheese, and grab a vegan baked good too!

BEST. COFFEE. EVER.Seriously, this is the best coffee I’ve ever had.They only use the the best coffee, and they make all of their own flavors. No overly sweet, fake, artificial flavors like you find at the giant corporate outfits. The owners and staff are extremely friendly and courteous.Food is great as well, but plan on it taking a pretty long time 🤪Truly happy to have a place like this in three village.

***NOT DOG FRIENDLY***Nice looking place. Was turned away at the door with my puppy.Since I’m not allowed to respond to the response below:No signage is posted that I could find. I was not told that upon entering, I was told that the dog has to be outside and then pointed.Also, please review the law. Companion dogs are not allowed in dining areas or food preparation areas. Your take out counter is not a dining area.If you do not want to allow dogs in the establishment that is your choice but do not hide behind a misinterpretation of NYS law.

Review №38

This place is a breathe of non-franchised air! Huge windows on three sides create a bright, spacious and cozy space ideal for reading or chatting with friends; and they also have bistro style outdoor seating that are handy during these pandemic times. We havent tried much from their beverage menu but their cold brew is among my husbands favorite and Im a fan of their herbal tea flavor combos. Were also fans of their 6-or-so-deep pint-sized baked goods selection that are made fresh daily and on-site -- and you can taste that delicious difference -- with the blueberry lemon sconce and olive oil muffin being our faves. Overall, a great place but heads up: theyre a smidge pricier than other coffee spots.

Today I went to Druthers for the third time and finally got food. I have to say the egg sandwich is up there with some of the best Ive had. Its different than what everyone else offers with such great flavor. The teas and coffee are always perfect. The atmosphere is so light and open. I dont live in the area but go to Stony Brook so im excited when school opens back up so I can come here more regularly!

Review №42

This place is AMAZING! Ive already came twice and have been blown away both times. For a drink, Ive gotten the cinnamon iced latte with macadamia milk. For food, I tried the sweet potato toast (but veganized with no egg) and it was seriously SO GOOD!!!

Amazing addition to town! Great coffee and tea and atmosphere. I love their iced chai fog! It’s also a great spot to meet up with someone to chat over a cup of coffee OR get out of the house and do work. They have lots of seating inside and outside. The owners and employees are so kind and accommodating. Support local and visit :)

I had the burnt caramel latte with oat milk and the barista totally nailed the flavor and temperature of my drink, as well as some nice latte art 😊. They have a la marzoco machine which I haven’t seen in any coffee shops in the area (Its my favorite espresso machine).The aesthetic of the shop is lovey as well. They have a bird of paradise (my favorite indoor plant) and palm tree that warms up the sitting area, along with some nice mounding around the front counter.The attention to detail is evident throughout its coffee and space. I highly recommend this lovey establishment.

Review №49

Eh everyone was saying such great things about this place I got the cold brew and it just wasnt that great. They also dont know about their own coffee, estimated amount of caffeine should be known. The mocha latte also not that great, but I did like that it wasnt sweet.

Review №52

Hands down the best coffee Ive had on Long Island. Inviting space, pastries baked in-house, reasonable prices. Its far away for me, but one visit here and Id rather make a special trip for the good stuff than keep going to my local place. Perfection and warmth are a hard combination to pull off, but Druthers does it.

What a great addition to Stonybrook-Setauket. Excellent selection of hot beverages all made with their own spin. Great alternative to the coffee chains. The baked items are far superior to the thawed goods served elsewhere. If you haven’t tried Druthers yet you’re missing out. Fantastic products and people serving them.

My husband and I just moved to Long Island and were missing a nice local coffee shop. We tried Druthers this weekend and were very impressed. The coffee is excellent!

Review №66

Druthers has quickly become a new favorite spot for my wife and I. Their coffee is excellent and their pastries are unbelievable light, fresh and tasty.Ive ordered their cold brew several times and it is easily the best cold brew Ive ever had. My wife has ordered a variety of different hot and cold drinks and they have all been excellent (yes, I sampled them all..lol).All of their pastries are freshly made on site and we havent ordered a scone or cookie that we didnt love.Their prices arent cheap but considering what you would pay for a similar, and much lower quality, item at Starbucks it is a no brainer.

Review №67

Sorry.. but I have gone twice now just to give it a second chance. The lattes literally taste like water. I truly do not think the barista knows what he’s doing.... I asked for a chai tea latte with a shot and it truly tasted like milk and water . Both times. too bad.

Very open view of passing traffic. Across the street from SUNY Stony Brook. Very popular with the students. I go for either the hot or iced coffee, depending on the weather. Good coffee. Rewards program is good. Found out about Druthers from Newsday in July. And I live in Mineola, Nassau County.
