    This is what we've been waiting for! There's so many great bubble tea shops in Queens and NYC as a whole, but limited options here in Nassau County. What a treat this is for it to be right in our neighborhood. It's located on the same lot as Lidl, Alexa's Dance Academy and Frantoni's on Hempstead Turnpike. Currently it's kind of hidden because it doesn't have any signage as the other more established spots, but it's in between Frantoni's and World Gym. Apparently the place used to be occupied by Lemon Tree. The owner Jin is really nice and we had a pleasant conversation. He recommended me the fruit tea drink and we got a large Mango Tea along with a Jasmine Green Tea — both with bubbles. I forgot to ask if there were any options to make it less sweet, but I would say that the sweetness was pretty spot on for me (as for a treat). If I were to drink it on the regular, I'd probably decrease the sweetness if I can just a tad. We ordered two larges, but Jin was gracious and gave it to us in four mediums instead. This way, I was able to easily share with other people I had in mind. As for how it tastes, I'll leave you what my elementary school-aged daughter thought: "Wow. Awesome! This is a 10 out of 10 for me." 🤣 We hope this is a start of more bespoke spots like The Early Bird Cafe and less of Kung Fu teas of the world. Thank you Jin! We can't wait to come back!

    OMGGGG ♥️ I stumbled on this hidden gem while trying to find a cute quiet cafe to study at between my classes. I had the most delicious Jasmine Rose Tea in a huge mug while I was here😍. It was actually perfect. They play lofi music, the tables are wide for my books, and I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu!!!! If you’re looking for a cozy cafe with tasty drinks and coffee or a good cafe for studying, look no further. This is wayyyy better than the franchise boba shops in the area. Parking is good, lighting is good, I’m super picky with cafes, but this spot I highly recommend. 😄

    Absolutely worth the visit!! The coffee was incredibly delicious. We got a skim and regular cappuccinos and taro bubble tea. All drinks were 100% delicious. Additionally, the pastries were so delectable!! The owner was so sweet and gave us an incredible deal on the brownies and cookies. We tasted it and it was 10/10. As if the food and drinks weren’t enough, the service was incredible. The owner was such a sweetheart in his words and actions. He told us about his journey as a business owner and his dreams for this coffee shop. This is what many of the coffee shops lack in NY—personal human connection. The Early Bird Cafe is the rare NY coffeeshop which creates the perfect atmosphere for beautiful human interaction over good food and coffee. 10/10 would recommend. I am definitely coming back and bringing my friends!!

    Best Boba I’ve ever had! Flavors are on point, drinks are creamy and you can taste the tea, unlike most bobas that are made with only a powder mix. So many drinks to choose from and all of them are a hit. The owner is super sweet and attentive, you will have amazing customer service everytime. Ambiance is cozy and comforting. It’s truly a hidden gem 🧋🤞🏼.

    Excellent customer service- will recommend The Early Bird Cafe. I stopped by after dropping off packages to UPS next door and decided to grab a mid afternoon coffee. I asked the gentleman what would he recommend for a coffee milk tea. He offered to customize the tiger brown sugar tea to a “dirty tiger” as he called it. My milk tea was great and exactly what I needed. Thank you

    Second time coming here and was just as great as the first time! The variety of the menu has just the thing for anyone. Really good beverages and pastries, and a comfortable atmosphere. Also the customer service is above and beyond without a doubt. Definitely worth coming here :)

    Owner is really great. Amazing service and quality products. Better to go here than go to a Starbucks. All the Taro based drinks are really good. Recommend by the owner taste great. Free wifi available with a good sitting area with nice atmosphere
