Great coffee place. Tried their cold brew and blueberry scones and they were delicious. It has quite ambiance and good for study/work there.

This is such an uplifting coffee shop! Super convenient location right next to the train station. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows let in so much light—it just makes you feel good. I love the long wooden tables, they make you want to sit and relax for a while. But the real highlight is the coffee and food. Breakfast here sets a great tone for the day, lunch gives you a nice energy boost, and grabbing one last cup before heading home wraps things up perfectly.

Bright and airy spot in Stony Brook!
Lots of seating inside and out – including a large communal table inside.
No outlets, so laptops beware.
The food was delicious, as was the coffee. They only have Oat and Pistachio milk as Dairy alternatives. Get the Druthers Breakfast Sandwich – it was awesome.
I want to try some of the teas next time I come!

Delicious latte drinks, beautifully crafted, not overly sweet. Tasty food made to order. Clean, welcoming, friendly.
Should I say it? It makes me sad when the cashier texts in between prompts to me. She got everything correct, I didn’t have to repeat anything, but it made me feel like my presence disrupted her texting even though I was ordering. She was nice and friendly and got everything correct so maybe it’s just my age showing. Won’t keep me away and won’t keep me from giving all the stars.
Definitely recommend!

It’s been really disappointing to get coffee at Druthers recently. I have been a customer for a long time and I’ve always loved their coffee. The milk is at good temperature, nice frothing, good beans; I had no issues. A couple months back they hired a new barista and she wasn’t great at making espresso based drinks, such as cappuccinos. I thought they’d train her and she’d get better soon (this happened with some other new hires before) but no, she never improved in any way. Now every time I go there, first thing I check is whether it’s her shift and I avoid getting coffee if it is. And I’m not exaggerating, her cappuccino is this very hot milky drink with a thick layer of foam with huge bubbles and reminds me of cappuccinos I’d get from coffee machines. See the photo yourself. I honestly avoid going to Druthers now just because of this. If any of the other baristas read this, please train her!

Stopped in a got a latte with burnt caramel syrup. One of the best I’ve ever had. The syrup wasn’t overly sweet and added a great taste. Nice atmosphere and friendly workers.

Really quick with my drink and food. Wish they had more seating inside but honestly it wasn’t that big of a deal. The breakfast burrito was so good, had just the right amount of kick to wake you up and it’s super filling. The chocolate chip cookie was really good, filled with lots of chocolate and had that perfect edge crisp I love in chocolate chip cookies. Only real jab would be price but I did order quite a bit.

The food is great, but the space feels a bit pretentious. I’m a college student, and I like a good cream cheese bagel. I don’t need a pack of Long Island bourgeois staring daggers at me while I enjoy said bagel (presumably for eating it without a fork and knife). If you can get past the yuppies, the staff is kind, and the large windows let plenty of light into the dining area. Parking is a bit tricky since it’s attatched to the strip mall adjacent, but just roll up the main entrance ramp and you’ll be fine.

I’ve been wanting to come here for a while so I was really excited. I ordered a matcha latte, a pastry, a cold brew and a Brie & jam sandwich. The pastry and sandwich were really great! We also enjoyed the cold brew. But if you are a regular matcha drinker, do not get the matcha!
Maybe it’s my mistake to have faith in cafe’s to make a good matcha, but every cafe should know how to correctly make it/ use enough matcha powder. If you’re a beginner to matcha, then you may like it, but it didn’t taste like matcha at all it just tasted like sweet milk unfortunately. I will definitely go back, I just now know I cannot order a matcha.

Great hot lattes with lavender. A really nice environment and a great staff. Definitely worth a cup. Right across from the LIRR and down the street from The Park Bench. Tell em Barsnobs sent ya.
