Gourmet Express

We’ve been eating at this coffee shop for years since moving to LI from Brooklyn. Delicious food! Excellent service! Owner is a local family man and one of the nicest people you’ll meet! Enjoy!

Ended up in Merrick this morning. I’m not ready to drive alone again to work yet (almost but not quite there), so since I’m seeing friends later in Merrick I drove my car to Merrick LIRR, parked there and than took public transport the rest of the way to work. While waiting for the train I decided to stop in here and grab some breakfast.
I came in here a long time ago when I was a teen, I thought it was a real coffee shop but discovered they only served regular coffee and some food so it wasn’t a real coffee shop just a mini diner masquerading as a coffee shop.
I chose one egg & cheese on a roll. I didn’t want to go near the coffee because I wasn’t sure how it would be. The egg & cheese was a little bit better then your standard egg & cheese, just slightly below Jensen’s Deli which has the best egg & cheese breakfast sandwich I have ever tasted.
The atmosphere looks like your standard diner with some convenience store aspects to it.
They also put together my breakfast pretty fast I guess being they are near a train station they know sometimes their customers have got to go and catch the train. The staff I dealt with were very nice.
Not a bad little place to grab a quick breakfast!
