Wow! An amazing find in farmingdale. This cafe is awesome! It’s behind an antique shop on Main Street. Small bites, drinks, coffee, baked goods. A really nice atmosphere, friendly employees, a welcoming vibe. I ordered an apple pie pop tart which was outstanding, and my husband got a really delicious piece of chocolate cake. I will be returning!

An incredibly cozy and welcoming family-run cafe & bakery with a back courtyard. From the moment you walk into the modern-classic farmhouse feeling space, you're welcomed by the delicious smell of baked goods and incredibly friendly staff. They're seriously some of the best service folks I've run into, and really made me feel at home. The display case is full of delicious treats, all made fresh right in the back by the staff. They constantly try out and make new ones, and the prices are all very reasonable. The Rainbow Cookie was one of the best I've ever had, and the Cherry Coffee Cookie was super creative and fantastic. They do events in the back, and there's a fire pit and a bar. it's also connected to a wonderful antique & home goods shop. It's such a great family business and an absolute must place to stop in and hang out for a bit.

Absolutely amazing. The people that work there immediately greeted me with big smiles and laughter as soon as I walked in this morning. Beautiful, colorful, and delicious pastries were in abundance. The strawberry pop-tart was outrageously good, and the Pride cookies paired incredibly well with some coffee. It was my first time here, but I already can’t wait to come back and show everyone I know this top-tier find.

I've had this place saved, because I wanted to go for a while, and it's sooo worth it! It's such a cute little picture spot! I think they partnered with the vintage store next door, because the cafe is located in the back of the vintage store, and the places where you can sit down are vintage furniture. It's definitely a place I'll be coming to do homework. The pictures don't do this place justice, I'll need to take some the next time I go back. The food was mostly pastries, but they had a lot of nice options, I had an Oreo pop tart. And another time I had a slice of their chocolate orange cake, that was absolutely delicious and the cake was so moist. They don't have many coffee options, but the milk for non dairy options were free(not an added charge). I believe it's family owned too!

We've ordered the coconut cake for a few parties now and it's always a hit! Moist and delicious, the other treats are tasty too. Would definitely give it a try!

I am so happy I found this place through Facebook. My boyfriend and I stopped in after church and had ourselves some coffee and a sweet treat. The cafe is just as cute and nostalgic as the antique shop it is attached to. I highly recommend checking this cafe out, especially in the summer when you can sit outdoors and truly take in the antiques.

This is a perfect setup for an afternoon of fine entertainment and just a plain old hang out. This cafe is at the rear of the front establishment known as " Back in Time" and affords you the opportunity to browse and purchase vintage articles of products from days long gone. A visit to this setup is a must stop to be enjoyed. If you want a cup of tea, coffee, soda beverage, beer, wine, and a side of cheese with crackers, then you are going to like your visit. ????????????????????????????????????????

I really did not know what kind of quality I was going to get from baked goods and coffee in an antique store, but this is probably the best bakery I have ever been to. Whoever does the baking is incredible. I tried one of everything and the coffee was actually great, strong and not watered down, even despite my not using real milk/cream. Antique store and bakery were both clean and well-designed. I found this place through a travel blog I subscribed to. Will totally recommend to others!
