Southdown Coffee - Port Jefferson: Reviews & Ratings
We love Southdown. It's our go to lunch date spot. I literally crave their grilled chicken sandwich on gluten free bread. My husband ordered the pesto avocado grilled cheese every time we go. Maple spice latte is my absolute favorite cup of coffee around.
Been to this place a couple of times and the coffee is really good. I go mainly for the drinks and pastries.
Premium coffees and excellent service. Baristas are happy to help recommend what you would like based on your usual “chain drinks.” Beautiful, bright, natural light floods the little shop in such a nice location especially if you are headed to or from Theatre Three! I had a spicy mocha and also love the iced lavender latte.
I’d never heard of the Famous Egg Sandwich, but its aspirations are justified. I suggest scrambled eggs with extra tomato butter, the spread paradoxically bringing everything together. The coffee is the best in town and made with knowledge and care. The atmosphere is bright and airy, and extends the downtown foot traffic several blocks past the beaten cement path. The staff has a different form of ADHD: Attentive, Driven, Hardworking, and Delightful. Over the last month, I’ve been fortunate to become a regular and get to know them. Tim pours over coffee and conversation, but only one gets a filter. Liam grinds coffee with a headspin and ices it with a baby freeze. Sami greets you with a spritz of joy and disinfection. They make Iron Maiden sound like an audio massage at the end of your day. Caroline is the only one allowed to make the maple spice latte because she makes the daily commute from Vermont. This is my own mythology. Kaylynn mayykes coffyy whyyle keeping the shyyp running smoothlyy. On Sundays, TJ is a DJ that spins caffeine vinyl at 3,33313 rpm. It turns Black Sabbath Coffee into Alvin and the Dripmunks. Mojito Joe orders the kombucha cans. (“Hey Joe, I’m waiting patiently down the block, reclining on your beanbag seat. Let’s just do this peacefully so no one gets girt, got, or hurt. Same time, bruh... same time! You give me the minty bubbles, I’ll give you back your chair. Yankees in seven.”) And geewhiz, Liz. When I’m writing and wondering about the divided self, she butters my sandwich with sweet tomatoes inside my head, on both my bread brain and toasty consciousness.
Stopped in for coffee and a snack. We didn't have the breakfast, but we will be back to try. Coffee was great, and the yuzu cruller was excellent.The avocado toast was very good, but a little pricey. The service was great. The olive oil cake was very good
I loved their chi maple latte!! and their cardamom buns are so good !! famous sandwhich was also delicious ...
Decided to give this coffee shop a try today so I ordered for pick up and when I got there the process was quick and easy. The staff was very nice and the food and drink I got were delicious. I will definitely be recommending to friends and family and I will be back myself.
Ok. So let me start by saying I greatly prefer medium/dark to dark roast coffee. Saka from Naples being my daily driver and King’s Coast Bow Breaker from Bohemia my second fav. I have a home coffee bar with a pretty good DF54 flat burr grinder and pretty good machine using an 4 sec pre-infusion and Higher temp of 205 for the lighter roasts. I enjoy the hobby immensely and dialing in new beans is fun and sometimes quite challenging. I had a difficult time dialing in the decaf Mexican. Even at a 0 grinder setting it still pulled 18g in and 40g out in a very fast 19 seconds. Couldn’t get it past a very sour taste no matter the dose or grind. I went through the whole bag unsuccessfully!! I will be back and love what you are doing and I understand y’all are known for being a medium to light roast coffee shop but will you offer a roast for us darker roast Italian espresso lovers?? The staff was great and I welcome any advice on dialing in the decaf. Thanks for all your effort to keep specialty coffee alive and well!
