Looking for a local coffee shop when in the Malverne or Rockville Centre area? Then Kookaburra is for you! I visited their Malverne location on an oddly chilly August morning while waiting for my car to get its annual inspection at my nearby mechanic. Outside the entrance, there is a picnic table and some other seating for those who prefer to be outside. There is a rear entrance where the parking lot is, which is convenient for those colder months when you don't want to walk around an entire building to get to a front entrance. The ambiance is welcoming and the staff I dealt with were all smiling and happy to greet customers. The young person who made my latte was helpful answering my questions about their drink menu. I opted for an almond milk latte with one of their homemade syrups: lavender shortbread. I also ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese danish, which sounded interesting. GROWS: This is a cash-only business (hence, deducting one star). It cost me $8.95 for a bacon-egg-cheese danish and a large almond milk latte with one of their specialty syrups, so I am glad I had cash on me. They didn't offer to heat up my BEC danish; it was cold when I bit into it. At that point, I didn't have them warm it up for hygiene reasons (would you want your stuff reheated in a place where they put an ABC piece of anything???). As such, I couldn't properly assess the delicious factor, so if you try it, or anything else that should be served hot, ask them to warm it. Parking is on-street or you can use the lot in the rear. BEWARE: This lot is permit-only or metered in most spots. Read the signage carefully. GLOWS: They offer free Wi-Fi, which is pretty stable. There are outlets spaced throughout, so if you are looking to do some work here, they can accommodate your needs. There is comfortable seating for groups of 4, or smaller 2-person tables along the wall. There is also a counter area where there are 3 stools for those who want to sit solo and read, or watch the baristas work their magic. They have a wide variety of danish, muffins, and even offer huge NY bagels with different kinds of spreads. This venue is well-maintained and spotless (this Virgo loves order, cleanliness, and good hygiene! LOL). The long line was handled swiftly, and I didn't hear anyone return to the counter to have something corrected. Kudos to Kookaburra!

This place should have 10 stars. Don't know why it took me so long to discover but now I'm morning without Kookaberry is like a morning without sunshine. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with friendly smiles and a general feeling of happiness. I have gotten to know if you were the people on a first name basis and they always greet me and asked me if I want my usual drink. I surprised him a day ago by changing it up but went back to my large iced latte In a large cup with extra ice, naturally because it's summertime and it keeps it cold or longer. Their pastries are super fresh, and their bagels are better than the bagel store right next-door. I am actually thrilled they are in my town and wish them well and success and joy and happiness.

Amazing, fresh, and delicious! The Kookachino is my favorite, but every time I go in I have to try something new! My daughter and I love the muffins, and the almond croissants are mouthwatering! Not to mention that the staff is so friendly and welcoming. A must try!!

I really liked it here! The cara caramel latte was an interesting mix of caramel and tanginess. I asked them to keep it light on the sweetness and they did. They have quite a range of pastries for super low prices (like a cookie muffin for $1.50, how can you say no?), and there is a bit of seating, too. It's quiet so you can hang out and read. But the line can get long and obstructive, so beware. Cash only is a hassle. No idea why they refuse to move over to the digital side. Parking is also awful around there.

So because of the reviews here compared to the RVC one, I had planned for my first time , to go to RVC. I called to make sure they were open in RVC, no answer. I called Malverne and yes, they are open. I bought the Kookachino w/toasted marshmallow n mocha, the Advocado toast, Irish soda bread and the peanut butter n jelly bar. I brought my puppy for the visit. There was a another dog there, the same breed as mine, but 8-1/2 years older that does not like other dogs, so that was sad, so glad my pup loves all dogs. Anyway, the kookachino was DELICIOUS and so was the Advocado toast. Took a crumble of both the Soda bread n PBJ bar, very, very good. Staff was very personable and friendly. I will be frequenting this place.

What a cute little coffee spot! Absolutely loved the vibe in here. The lights and decor are so welcoming and fun. I had the strawberry & caramel latte & matcha from the season menu. The flavors were perfectly balanced. Got the harvest muffin to go because of a recommendation I saw on here & I snuck a taste because I had it to go - but wow is it packed with flavor! Everyone behind the counter looked like they were having a great time working together & were super friendly. One thing to note is that it's cash only, so I'm SO glad I happened to have just enough on me. I clearly missed the sign on the door when I walked in so only noticed it on my way out & that's on me! Just something to note for when you come here!

An absolutely lovely experience! Inside is quite tiny, but filled with plenty of charm. A few seats to pass the time, twinkly lights strung around, a bike lovingly hung on the wall. Despite its size, there was plenty of patrons patiently waiting for their drinks, so you know this place is well loved by the community. There is plenty of options to choose from on the menu: classic cafe fare, speciality drinks, baked goods. I find it absolutely brilliant that they do offer mini pastries as well! I opted for a mini blueberry muffin and a Kookaccino and was serviced pretty quickly despite the line. The Kookaccino was quite pleasant. It's an iced drink, very much akin to a Coolatta or an Iced Capp but not as sweet, which was nice. The blueberry muffin was buttery and fluffy. Not many blueberries throughout but I just assume its because the muffins are so tiny. A lovely accompaniment to my Kookaccino as I accidentally walked too far to Lynbrook... Overall, a wonderful place to stop by and enjoy the vibes while sipping on some coffee!
