It’s a decent place to experience a cute little brunch moment for some tea and a homey vibe. Only gave it 3 stars however because the food didn’t meet my expectations. I tried the corned beef hash, Irish breakfast, and banana walnut pancakes and only the pancakes were a hit. Food portion was very small given the price and tasted very bland and dry. Was expecting more from the food.

A quaint little cafe that is open for lunch and dinner. Simple menu that consists of cafe style food, hot soups and some Irish pub options like Shepard's pie (which is what I ordered) and burgers. Of course there's dessert, coffee and tea which is what the decor is all about. Beautiful tea pots and saucers on display. I love the mismatched chairs and tables, like a country kitchen home. The tea pots all around the restaurant are showcased like pieces of art as well as real painted art line the walls. Fun place for a tea party!

Sunday mornings are typically quite busy, but we got seated right away! We were served locally baked bread from Tulips around the corner, a sunday specialty. Then Tea of our choosing. Irish Breakfast tea and Silver Needle white tea. We enjoyed the Corned Beef Hash and Eggs and Bacon! It was excellent!

Never in my life have I been so insulted straight to my face. I came with my family and we ordered dessert, tea and dinner for my daughter. Then an elderly caucasian waitress with short blonde hair proceeded to tell me if I only wanted to order dessert I could go the bakery across the street (which is closed). This is wild to me considering that my bill was over 65 dollars and there was a caucasian couple at the table across from me that ordered one soup and drinks. And also an empty table with no patrons. I dont ever plan to step foot back in their establishment ever again. UPDATE: According to the response by this establishment I'm also being called a liar.

I normally love this restaurant but as of tonight my family and I will never be dining here again. We decided to come as a large group on a Saturday night and some of us only had tea and dessert while the rest had full meals. And then when the desserts came out an elderly Caucasian waitress with short blonde hair had the audacity to come and say, "I don't mean to be rude but next time if you come for only dessert please visit the bakery across the street because we're turning away people that want to dine here." Excuse me??? I guess you don't want paying customers (and our bill was sizable also). And since we were the only table of colored patrons, I find it interesting that the other Caucasian diners who were only having drinks and sharing only soup (like the one across from us) weren't told a single thing. And there were other empty available tables that could accommodate these so called people who she was turning away. I won't speak for the other workers because they've usually been pleasant in the past but this one woman was very disrespectful and it's unfortunate that the whole restaurant has to be punished for the bad behavior of one. And I have at least four witnesses who heard what was said by that rude old waitress if anyone calls me a liar.

Beware - RACISM! Check other 1 star reviews for this establishment on Google and Yelp and almost all talk about racism and discrimination. This is one of my favorite spots but this was one of the worst experiences I've had. From the moment we entered, we were ignored and stood at the door for almost 10 minutes without anyone greeting us. Finally, we were called to the back and seated. There were multiple empty tables in the area we were seated in. It took some time for the waitress to take our order. After taking our order, we waited about 20 minutes for our appetizer. More than an hour passed and our entrees never came out nor did anyone say anything to us about it or check up on us. By then, our section was completely empty and we were so done with the experience. I am not usually one to say this but everyone in my party knew it was racism and discrimination. We were ignored by every waitress when we entered and seated only because two Caucasian women came into the establishment after us and we needed to be seated before they could be. While seated, no one bothered to check on us although they checked on Caucasian patrons all the time. Even after we decided to leave, the staff didn't apologize for the wait or try to explain why there was such a wait. I will not be returning here and don't recommend coming here if you're BIPOC because the staff is racist. Be sure to follow me on Yelp for great restaurant recommendations in LI and NYC!

This is my 4th visit to Swing the Teapot. My first time since they renovated. The food, tea and service was as good as ever. The decor for me has lost some of it's old world charm but nice nevertheless. They have added two additional dining areas. It's a little tight in the main dining area. The other table had to scoot her chair in for me to get out. I've had the corned beef hash and pancakes previously and they were delicious. This time had the Emerald Isle. The black pudding, sausage and bacon were delicious. The black pudding didn't have the metallic taste of blood. Nice taste of spices. The bacon wasn't salty always a plus for me. Nice thick slices of bread. Everything came out nice and hot. The Coconut-ti was very cooling. Loved it. Teapot was beautiful. Going back soon.

I couldn't be more disappointed. My family and I came to Swing the Teapot tonight in a party of 6 adults, 2 kids and a baby. Half the party ordered dessert and beer and the other half ordered Entrees, we all ordered teapots. Our party was split to 2 tables because of our size which was fine. A woman came up to the table I wasn't sitting at and informed them that if they wanted dessert and tea they could go across the street instead. I couldn't believe this. My table was planning after our entress to order a round of desserts and more tea but we decided to call it there and got our check. There were other tables of people sitting just having drinks with one item of food on their table before we even got in there and were still there after we left. I am the only Irish American in our mixed happy family of color, so I found it interesting they didn't say anything to the table I was sitting at. It's unclear but highly suspicious they chose to go to the other table of my party.

Excellent food and service. We will definitely be back. Plus we loved all the teapots

The restaurant is still under renovation. It will look like the place is closed but they are open. The main room is spacious now. More tables and we didn't go in to see the other 2 rooms. We were greeted warmly and seated right away. We ordered 2 teas and 2 omelette breakfast. One Denmark and one California with extra broccoli. I had the Denmark and loved it. The combo with the goat cheese was flavorful with interesting texture. We also ordered the Loaded Potatoes. We were really full. Next time , I would like to try the Pancakes. Our neighbors had them and they looked and smelled really good. Will def be back

Food was great but they are slow to serve. They forgot our coffee which was really important. It seems like they need more servers. The place was very cute. The chairs were uncomfortable.

This place has been on my list for a while, and once I finally got in there for breakfast one day, it just happened to be St Patrick's day, so I'll take that as a good sign. I spent a month in Ireland a few years ago, and walking into this place immediately brought me back. From the decor and seating, to the bar and the incredibly friendly staff, everything was extremely welcoming. Definitely go on a rainy day if you want the full Irish experience. I got one of the breakfast platters, which was delicious and tasted just like the many I had in Ireland. The eggs, sausages, Irish bacon, potatoes, and tomatoes were all perfectly cooked and flavorful. The soda bread was some of the best I've ever had. I'm absolutely coming back to give more of the menu a try and to grab a pot of tea soon.

We had a group of 8 for dinner & music Saturday night, 11/7. We understand many adjustments have been necessary due to the pandemic. However, pandemic routine changes had nothing to do with the indifferent, uncaring response from the owners/staff when we had a medical emergency. Our friend, a 92 yr old woman, became very ill & we had to call 911. She had a heart episode. When we asked the bartender for something to put her head on we were told it wasn't necessary because the EMTs would be there soon. We asked for something to clean her up with & they gave us a few napkins. (It was obvious we needed more than that) No management or staff ever came over to see how things were or to ask if they could help. Other customers helped us & even gave a coat for her head. Management did not come out to speak with any of us or to reassure other customers. They did not even come out when the ambulance came or left. This is not the way to run a small business. I've owned a small restaurant & this was very unprofessional & heartless. Thank goodness our friend is better.

Adorable and eclectic locally owned restaurant. We were visiting the area for the Harry Styles concert and this was the closet breakfast place to us. It was the perfect little place for us to enjoy some delicious tea and pancakes !

Omg You must try their tea, it's super cute! I love this little spot, our service was on point!!

Excellent service and food. Enjoyed a Fantastic Leisurely Lunch Highly recommend Swing The Teapot!

Soft and Cozy Place. Nice Irish Interior and Ambience. Good, Gentle Soft spoken Staff. Tasty Food. Would really love to go again... My Serving Lady was Jasmine. Nice Lady...

A solid brunch spot! Nice tea selection. I liked the flavor of the Darjeeling Highlands black tea, the white fusion tea smelled good but not much flavor. Came with scones and bread and butter and strawberry jam. The scone was lightly sweet and the bread was okay. The zucchini wheels and onion rings were good, the sauces made them better. The black bean burrito was filling and came with potatoes. The walnut and banana pancakes were great, i added chocolate chips, was yummy. Overall a good place, nice ambiance, large brunch crowd. I hope to go back and try more items.

We stopped for lunch. Food is tasty and service was good.

Had an amazing brunch! Friendly service and beautiful cozy atmosphere.

This was my first time coming here and I will be coming back! I love teapots and I love tea so this place was a great combination. The atmosphere was so relaxing and comforting. The staff was very nice and helpful. I had the Irish breakfast which tasted delicious! I also have the Irish breakfast tea along with the soda bread. The soda bread was very tasty! I only give reviews to places that really wow me and this restaurant did that and more.

Love this place. A very cozy and cute cafe/ restaurant that's truly makes you feel like you're not in new York. Very good service and atmosphere. Delicious tea and food.

Super cute. Eclectic decor I loved it

Good spot for some good old English breakfast + tea.

Been here a couple of times. I've never had the tea, but that is what they're most known for. The food is mediocre, the strawberries I had today were not fresh, and tasted very cheap. My friend had a Hawaiian salad that had overripe pineapples. The coffee is ok, not amazing but not bad either. The environment is what I think most people come for, since it's very cutesy and the customer service is very sweet. I wish I could give them a better rating, but they really have to improve their food quality first! <3

Cost spot great for family and friends. Staff offered excellent service. Food was delish!

Hands down the best Irish Breakfast. They have a great selection of teas from pure to flavored and herbal. The brown bread with the homemade Strawberry preserves is not to skipped. The service was quick and the staff friendly and attentive. Never once felt rushed to finish. My husband and I got there right after opening and had no wait, but it definitely filled up at around 10am and there was a wait when we left. It's worth it though! Be sure to stop at Tulip Bakery around the corner to bring your own preserves and bread home!

Great place to go for a delicious meal with friends or family. Go on Friday or Sat. nights, have dinner and listen to the magnificent live entertainment. It is located by the Floral Park town clock as you exit the Long Island Railroad! John F Brady /Real Estate

What a cute place! My tea and pancakes were splendid. Thank you for the nice experience!

I enjoyed my time here. Me and my family went to have breakfast and it was a great experience. The atmosphere was homely, the staff was nice and receptive, always someone checking on us to make sure we were tended to. The food was also great, I had waffles, egg, some of their tea and a tiny piece of a pancake my 'guest' gave to me. The pancake was very fluffy and tasted great, the eggs where cooked well, and the waffles were impeccable. I like my waffles a certain way and not only did they have a great texture but a great taste as well. The tea they had was lovely and they had the nicest most interesting tea pots. Overall great experience. If I go back I'll be sure to take some pictures!

Tea kettle have beautiful designs..teas taste amazing. Food is alright..

So cozy n delicious

Loved the teapot theme but most importantly the different types of heavenly and tasty teas they offer. The food was just right, not too heavy and delicious. It was a fun, family friendly holiday lunch with something on the menu for everyone.

Stopped in for breakfast. Not one of the 7 of us had a bad word to say about our meals. The full Irish breakfast was well received by the Irishman in our midst. I highly recommend the warm Irish stewed apple pancakes.

Friendly service, great food, great decor and delicious tea! There is a great selection of food and tea options. We came early on Saturday and it was a little busy but luckily we didn’t have to wait for a table. Some people who came after us needed to wait but I don’t think any of them waited more than 10 or 15 minutes. There’s metered street parking near by that’s 25cents per half hour. There’s a small discount if you pay cash. I would definitely recommend this place and hope we can return soon!

The tea, coffee and food were all delicious. The place is really beautiful. I loved all of the decorations, especially the hundreds of teapots all over. The atmosphere is very charming. It appeals to anyone looking for great food in an extremely friendly setting. Service was a little slow as we arrived at the beginning of a rush, but the food was worth the wait.

Their tea is delicious! I order the shepherd’s pie and organic black tea. Both testy! Love this cute place.

My daughter took me here today for Mothers Day. It is soooo cute. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The teas are amazing, food is great. Will definitely be coming back my new favorite little spot.

I love this restaurant! The aesthetic and decor are so pretty and give cozy English vibes. I had the chicken pot pie and it was delicious and hearty. My friend had the soup de jour (it was New England clam chowder today). The waitress recommended the soup and it lived up to the hype. There’s a great tea selection and they come in the cutest teapots! Would definitely recommend coming here!

Cute quintessential tea place. They have a good menu filled with vegetarian, vegan and meat friendly options. This place had amazing and kind customer service. It was a tea paradise for us tea lovers.

Best Irish breakfast I have ever eaten!

My recent visit to Swing the Tea Pot was exceptional, thanks to outstanding service, particularly from Jasmine. The breakfast choices were both diverse and delicious, and the impressive tea and coffee options make it a perfect spot for enthusiasts of both. I highly recommend this place!

Great homey eatery with fresh foods, great teas, and cozy atmosphere. Perfect for the family

5stars

What a terrific place, delicious food and very friendly service. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. I had the leak soup and shepherds pie 👍👍 Can’t wait to “swing” back for breakfast.

Warm and friendly. Great lunch.

I love this place. It is so cute inside. The service was great. I started off with the nachos. They were amazing. Then I had a grill chicken wrap with red peppers Mozzarella cheese and chicken (the Bacci). The wrap came with sweet potato fries. I would definitely recommend going here.

Get that corn beef hash

Great food, staff and customers

I thought the place is cute food is great!!!

This is a lovely cafe restaurant. The food is very good and the servers are so friendly and nice. It's a great place to bring a group of friends to hang out and chill. They take extra care during this pandemic and I felt at ease sitting inside. Highly recommend!

Exquisite atmosphere and the food is awesome

This spot is worth a try. They have large portions for affordable rates. Always well kept and with fantastic mood. Will come back again.

Constantly good food. Beautiful new room

One of my favorite date spots. Amazing dessert and food. Also beer on tap. The tea menu is diverse with plenty of options. It gives me a very homey welcoming vibe everytime I enter. Love the staff too they are very friendly. Parking is a little hard nearby because it's by a train but trust me it's so worth it.

Came here for lunch and it was amazing! Love the tea pots and tea cups! The menu is wonderful with something for everyone. I had the walnut salad and it was delicious. My girlfriend had one of the many wraps they offer and even took one home for dinner. It's rather a small place but quaintly decorated. I highly recommend visiting this little gem.

This restaurant is surely one of the tastiest restaurants in the neighborhood. Always when I go there I am deeply pleased. They keep their very high standard service and the highest level of meals they give. You can never go wrong with this place. Highly recommended.

Wonderful little spot. I didn't know about it's existence until very recently. Had Sunday brunch outdoors (COVID-19 accommodation, likely not long term). Food, tea, and service were all great.

One of my favorite places for breakfast and variety of teas. I love the quirky furniture and dishes....makes the experience all that much more enjoyable

Good tea

This spot is awesome! Convenient rates, big dishes and the employees are consistently nice.

Good breakfast,cozy environment in a old fashion traditional kitchen setting

We always have a great time ,

One of the best places around. We love going here!

Awesome brown bread, a wonderful Irish breakfast. An amazing selection of teas as well.

great spot with excellent food and friendly staff

Food was good, service took a long time to get after we sat down. The waiter was super nice after he finally came over and took our order though. I would go back. I love 🍵 and they had some special ones on the menu

Nice place food good

Amazing Irish breakfast!!!!!

We had a lovely irish breakfast on the patio

Sat outdoors under umbrella. Breakfast was good and the selection of teas was very good.
