A Taste of Long Island

As local as it gets. They do tons of the brewing right there on sight! Many of these brewers use local hops grown harvested in Riverhead. Really love this place.

So everyone else who reviewed the place pretty much said what there is to say, do yourself a favor if you’re in town. Walk over to A taste of LI and enjoy a few free samples and see what you like best. They’ve got all sorts of things my girlfriend and I stop in every few months (less now that she moved in from massapequa) but you’ll always see local beers and house brewed ciders. The iced teas they carry and the pickles are awesome as well.
Stop in soon!

Very cool concept! I love supporting local LI small businesses and this not only is one of them, but a place to find products produced from other local places that don’t necessarily have their own storefront.
It is a cute little place not too far from the Farmingdale train station. We were drawn here for the beer (as per the usual). They have 8 taps from local small breweries who either don’t have a tasting room or don’t distribute, etc… At the time of our visit they had a couple different brews from Lithology, 1940’s brewery, Flying Belgian, and house-​made brews from A Taste of LI! Flight costs $ 8 and you get your pick of 4; with the choices they had you really couldn’t go wrong with any and if beer isn’t your choice they also have 4 homemade ciders on tap which were awesome!
They also sell local soaps, honey, candies, and frozen goods. They are set up as a bakery but nothing was in the display case when we were there. From reading other reviews it seems like the baked goods are out of this world.
Definitely stop by and check this place out if you’re in the area!

A Taste of Long Island offers locally brewed beer, baked goods, and other products from the island. I had the opportunity to talk with Jim — one of the partners at A Taste of Long Island; he gave me an idea of the behind the scenes of the license.
The venue has a special brewing permit which allows any Brewers with the appropriate permits to use their facilities. At A Taste, there are several different local nanobrewers including their own house naked brewery. The venue is also working on putting together classes to help home brewers transition to producing larger batches of beer.
Altogether, I think the venue has a really cool concept. I’ll certainly be back! I’d rate it 4.5 stars.

OK this place has craft beer !. They have 4 different nano brewerys that brew there and are in tap. You can try 1oz samples and even buy a pint before you choose your growler. If you like craft beer and like to try different local brews this is the place for you.

I absolutely love this place. The owner is so nice and I always have a great chat with him when I stop by. I’m a big fan of the Long Island honey they have there and the beers they have on tap. I recommend just even visiting here it’s a great experience. if you are into buying local then this is where you need to go!

Love the products here but had a bad experience trying to get nutrition labels done through them.

Love to be able to shop locally /​support long island. Everything is so fresh and everything I’ve tried from the cupcakes to the cake balls have been delicious.
The gluten free breakfast cookies are insane!

Been here 4 times, as I am willing to gives it several chances due to the facts that all pastries are made by local. Pretty much had tastes a little of everything and was pretty disappointed, except Hans’ crumb cakes, which is okay.

I love this spot. First time I discovered chocolate covered cheesecake. It’s so good! Good thing its not close to my house because I will definitely be getting it everyday which won’t be good for me. If ever I’m in Long Island though I will be sure to come here. Just thinking about that taste of sweet heaven makes my mouth water.

Everything they sell is from Long Island farms and vendors. Mmmm empanadas and great cake balls. They sell pumpkin ravioli frozen and they have mason jarred preserves. :)

Stopped in here on my way home from a run… ended up walking out with bags full of luscious eggplant, gorgeous cucumbers, farm fresh eggs, ‘red velvet’ tea, pastries, and jams… all LOCAL. I was especially ecstatic over the dozens of specialty ravioli from a small company out of Huntington… classic cheese, spinach and artichoke, and PUMPKIN ravs, from $ 3.99/dozen! All of the produce was reasonably priced and just perfectly ripe.
The girl that rang me up was more than happy to answer all of my questions and share advice (ie: frying pumpkin ravioli and tossing them in cinnamon and sugar (!!!), or that I wouldn’t be able to hard-​boil my eggs for about another week since they were just THAT fresh). I can’t wait to stop back in and pick up some more of the amazing goodies (there’s some pumpkin seed pesto I deeply regret leaving behind).
So satisfied with the phenomenal quality, variety, and value of this shop. Farmingdale needs more spots like this!

Wow! I just tried Taste Of Long Island for the first time. It’s like having a Long Island farm stand right in your backyard. All their food are made with LI grown ingredients. I tried a bean and corn empanada, then got home made chocolate peanut butter balls, and some flat bread. Can’t wait to go back. This place is a must if you live in Farmingdale.

Been here twice. I hear its fairly new.
I had the nutella cupcake which was good. It tasted mostly like chocolate. But it was nice a moist so I enjoyed it.
The thing that I really really liked was the chocolate covered crisps which were amazing. Seriously they tasted different then other places I have been to.
ALSO their cake truffles… the rainbow cookie one… wow. Never tasted that before. It was very very yummy.
I also had their chocolate and carmel covered oreos. Enough said. Going to be going back to this place soon. They have a lot of gluten free items and they used local products and ingredients.
