Swing the Teapot - Restaurant in Floral Park - 6 Verbena Ave, USA

The restaurant is still under renovation. It will look like the place is closed but they are open. The main room is spacious now. More tables and we didn't go in to see the other 2 rooms. We were greeted warmly and seated right away. We ordered 2 teas and 2 omelette breakfast. One Denmark and one California with extra broccoli. I had the Denmark and loved it. The combo with the goat cheese was flavorful with interesting texture. We also ordered the Loaded Potatoes. We were really full. Next time , I would like to try the Pancakes. Our neighbors had them and they looked and smelled really good. Will def be back

This is my 4th visit to Swing the Teapot. My first time since they renovated. The food, tea and service was as good as ever. The decor for me has lost some of it's old world charm but nice nevertheless. They have added two additional dining areas. It's a little tight in the main dining area. The other table had to scoot her chair in for me to get out. I've had the corned beef hash and pancakes previously and they were delicious. This time had the Emerald Isle. The black pudding, sausage and bacon were delicious. The black pudding didn't have the metallic taste of blood. Nice taste of spices. The bacon wasn't salty always a plus for me. Nice thick slices of bread. Everything came out nice and hot. The Coconut-ti was very cooling. Loved it. Teapot was beautiful. Going back soon.

Hands down the best Irish Breakfast. They have a great selection of teas from pure to flavored and herbal. The brown bread with the homemade Strawberry preserves is not to skipped. The service was quick and the staff friendly and attentive. Never once felt rushed to finish. My husband and I got there right after opening and had no wait, but it definitely filled up at around 10am and there was a wait when we left. It's worth it though! Be sure to stop at Tulip Bakery around the corner to bring your own preserves and bread home!

Excellent service and food. Enjoyed a Fantastic Leisurely Lunch Highly recommend Swing The Teapot!

A quaint little cafe that is open for lunch and dinner. Simple menu that consists of cafe style food, hot soups and some Irish pub options like Shepard's pie (which is what I ordered) and burgers. Of course there's dessert, coffee and tea which is what the decor is all about. Beautiful tea pots and saucers on display. I love the mismatched chairs and tables, like a country kitchen home. The tea pots all around the restaurant are showcased like pieces of art as well as real painted art line the walls. Fun place for a tea party!

This place has been on my list for a while, and once I finally got in there for breakfast one day, it just happened to be St Patrick's day, so I'll take that as a good sign. I spent a month in Ireland a few years ago, and walking into this place immediately brought me back. From the decor and seating, to the bar and the incredibly friendly staff, everything was extremely welcoming. Definitely go on a rainy day if you want the full Irish experience. I got one of the breakfast platters, which was delicious and tasted just like the many I had in Ireland. The eggs, sausages, Irish bacon, potatoes, and tomatoes were all perfectly cooked and flavorful. The soda bread was some of the best I've ever had. I'm absolutely coming back to give more of the menu a try and to grab a pot of tea soon.

Cost spot great for family and friends. Staff offered excellent service. Food was delish!

Beware - RACISM! Check other 1 star reviews for this establishment on Google and Yelp and almost all talk about racism and discrimination. This is one of my favorite spots but this was one of the worst experiences I've had. From the moment we entered, we were ignored and stood at the door for almost 10 minutes without anyone greeting us. Finally, we were called to the back and seated. There were multiple empty tables in the area we were seated in. It took some time for the waitress to take our order. After taking our order, we waited about 20 minutes for our appetizer. More than an hour passed and our entrees never came out nor did anyone say anything to us about it or check up on us. By then, our section was completely empty and we were so done with the experience. I am not usually one to say this but everyone in my party knew it was racism and discrimination. We were ignored by every waitress when we entered and seated only because two Caucasian women came into the establishment after us and we needed to be seated before they could be. While seated, no one bothered to check on us although they checked on Caucasian patrons all the time. Even after we decided to leave, the staff didn't apologize for the wait or try to explain why there was such a wait. I will not be returning here and don't recommend coming here if you're BIPOC because the staff is racist. Be sure to follow me on Yelp for great restaurant recommendations in LI and NYC!
