DINING SCENE ADDITIONS

Two Long Island classics come together
at a new brick oven eatery in
Oyster Bay, hoping to redefine fast-casual
dining as what the owners call
fine counter dining.
Offering bagels and pizza, this new
restaurant opened by Brad and Michele
Berrol hopes to make customer
service a priority, with fresh ingredients,
easy ordering and a higher-class
fast dining experience. They will
offer classic pizzas and signature
creations along with egg sandwiches,
salads, lunch items and desserts.
The eatery is open 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily
but hopes to serve dinner soon as well as
online ordering for pickup and delivery.
19 East Main Street, Oyster Bay.

SWEETWATERS COFFEE
AND TEA
Indulge your sweet tooth with Sweetwater’s
many options for breakfast
and midday pick-me-ups.
Taste signature coffees and teas
along with classic dessert and snack
options. If you want something more
refreshing, cool down with one of the
blended frozen drinks, called ice
dragons. Sweetwaters offers unique
café items inspired by Asian influences,
like coffee called the dragon
eye, made by blending their house
coffee with sweetened condensed
milk.
Owners Lou and Chris hope to also
use the café as a place to host nonprofit
events as well as work by local
artists.
