Coffee & Treats in North Lindenhurst

In the 19th century, neighbors would congregate in local bakeries, butcher shops, and candlemakeries to chat about the weekend's brutal turf war and swap Jughead hats. Today's deal gives you a taste of that simpler time: for $7, you get $15 worth of fine, fresh-baked fare at Grandaisy Bakery.

Behind a large picture window colonized by the covetous faces of passersby, the Little Pie Company’s kitchen bustles with a crew of adroit bakers tirelessly popping freshly minted confections into sparkling steel ovens. Champions of homestyle cooking since setting their first pie out to cool in 1985, staffers forge each toothsome treat from scratch using only fresh ingredients free of artificial, chemical, or secret agents. Bakers frequently switch up the menu in order to give each time of year its due, with seasonal offerings composed of calendar-appropriate fillings such as berries in the summer, pumpkins in the fall, and organic snowmen in the winter. The in-store counter beckons guests to linger and sip coffee, and on balmy days, an army of outdoor tables enables alfresco dining under the watchful gaze of the sun.

Soy Café tosses a lifesaver of veggie-friendly fare to diners drowning in the community pool of carnivore-catering cuisine. Breakfast is served all day, allowing you to satisfy your craving for organic oatmeal ($6), egg whites with avocado and soy cream cheese ($6), or a mozzarella, basil, and roasted-pepper omelette ($10), even as the afternoon sun looks on in helio-disbelief between puffs of his cumulo-cigarette. Sail seas of soup with the vegan-friendly three-lentil chili ($6), served with multigrain toast, or deforest the summer avocado salad ($11) with your mouth-mulcher. Soy Café also offers cold sandwiches ($8) with tofu and hummus, as well as salmon, turkey, tuna, and chicken variations for non-vegetarians. Paninis and wheat-free crêpes ($10) also offer omnivorous options for all ilks of eaters. Silence the cries of your sweet tooth with Soy Café's vegan sweets, including its acclaimed almond brittle ($4.50).

Decadence-seeking mocha lovers get their fix from a chocolate-laced cup for $4. SweetLeaf's in-house baked muffins ($2.50), cookies ($2.50), and savory croissants ($3.75) delight any coffee and tea-tinted tongue; look for a selection of freshly baked treats (priced daily) that change depending on the day, humidity, or how well you can affect a Prussian accent.
