Reviews for Library Café in Farmingdale, NY
First time here yesterday. The atmosphere was nice and casual,though I expected to be surrounded by books, lol. The service was... great. I think our server was Ben, and he was super nice and helpful with recommendations, which were all on point. Read more
Came here after dinner at 317 for dessert. Boy oh boy what a great spot. Decor was fun and interesting. Dessert was fab. I... murdered the sponge cake. My wife loved the brownie. Cappuccino was fantastic. The owner was so personable and courteous. Iwould 1000% come back for drinks / food. Give them a try. You wont be disappointed. Read more
Interesting place it is literally a library complete with a ladder on wheels and a sailboat over the entrance. The cocktails are... awesome and a decent wine selection. Separate party space on the mezzanine. Sunday boozy brunch is good. Food is excellent andpresented well. Avacado and Bacon in Eggs Benedict who knew! Read more
I had my baby shower here today and it was incredible! The food and the service was great. The staff couldn’t have been more... helpful, they are all so nice. The pricing is very reasonable. This is the perfect place to host a small party. We had aboutabout 30 people and although the room isn’t huge it didn’t feel cramped. Highly recommend! Read more
I so badly wish I could give Library Cafe 5 stars because I rave to my friends and family about how delicious the Buddha Bowl is... and how delightful the Huckleberry Fin cocktail is! However, I have to say I’m a little disappointed with the service thelast time I came. My girlfriends and I came for my friends birthday on a Saturday at 3pm. It was crowded, so we asked to beadded to the list for a table. 2 girls that worked there said “We put you in the system”, without taking our name or number.I thought that was strange so I asked, “Are you sure you don’t need our name or number to add us to the system?” And shesaid “no we got it you’re in the system don’t worry!” So we shrugged it off and went to the bar for a full hour and ahalf waiting politely to be called for our table. The restaurant started clearing out and we saw many tables available so weended up asking not once, but two times to two different service if they had an update regarding our table. Finally, the lastperson we reached, a VERY kind and sweet female manager it seemed? Told us that she had no record of a group of 4 girls waitingin the system at all, so she immediately seated us- thank you. Food and drinks were great but my friends said they wouldn’tgo back because of how we were forgotten about, which is a shame, because I really love Library and Post Office Cafe. The staffkept looking over a little embarrassed like they completely comprehended this error. Maybe they should have threw in somethingto make up for this service, but they didn’t. :/ My friend was a little dissatisfied with her birthday lunch, I’m let downmyself because I’m the one who suggested this place :(.

I had a really fantastic experience! Went here during an odd hour and sat at the bar. Jessica was phenomenal. We chatted a... bunch! Very attentive and kind. The food was amazing and the ambiance was great. If I am ever back in town, I will be back! Ihad the French onion soup, smokehouse burger (which was cooked perfectly,) and got the roasted Brussels sprouts (omg yum) andtook home the peanut butter explosion for dessert. Try it all. Read more
My now husband and I chose The Library Cafe for our rehearsal dinner and it was a beautiful event! We had 25 people so we were... able to book the upstairs room and had a personalized menu. The food and service was excellent and the atmosphere was great.Thank you again for a memorable evening ! Read more
