  Witches brew is a little overpriced for the quantity and quality of its food. It is also usually crowded so there's usually a wait. However, the aesthetic cannot be beat and this place is V instaworthy. The tea selection is pretty amazing too and their hot espresso drinks are also tasty. The menu is also all vegetarian and has copious vegan options. Overall it's a nice place to go once or twice for the atmosphere.

  It's overrated now. The lines to get in (even on a Tuesday) for two is still long as hell, at least an hour most of the time. The atmosphere is nice but they need to do something about the seating inside to accomodate more people. Updated review from a year ago. Went on a Thursday at 9pm. Wait was about 15 min seating for two. Tried the witches something drink, very good. Also got some chocolate cake. Fresh and tasty

  I love this place! I come here all the time, and I recommend the Cesar wrap, the tofu really taste like chicken. I also recommend their vegetable spring rolls, and pesto gnocchi. Amazing dishes and cute environment. Highly recommend trying this place out, and definitely come during non peak hours. :)

  So many different types of coffees and teas, it'll confuse you! That said, their dessert menu is simpler. Food was delicious and drinks (it's a non alcoholic hip hop place), were amazing! Be prepared to wait as it's very busy, and bring cash. They don't accept credit cards. I would have given it a 4.5 for that inconvenience, but the service, staff, and food/drinks were so good I have to stay at 5 stars!

  This eclectic restaurant is a staple on Long Island, and definitely worth a visit. The restaurant looks more like a haunted house on the inside, than an actually dining establishment. Arriving around 9 on Friday night, I was surprised to find that I would have to wait about 30 minutes just to get a seat. They had us give our number and than told us they would give us a call when they were ready, which they did. After being seated you are handed an expansive menu filled with tons of different teas, coffees, food, and desserts. Being that I am not a tea or coffee drinker, I opted for a hot chocolate instead. I also split two desserts with my friend, the brownie, and the apple crumb cheesecake. I am to say that between these choices I might have selected the best and worst items on the menu. The hot chocolate had absolutely no flavor, maybe a whisper of chocolate. The apple crumb cheesecake on the other hand was delicious. Imagine an apple pie and a cheesecake had a baby, and that is what you have hear. The slightly sweet cheesecake helps to tone back the very sweet apple pie filling, making for a perfectly creamy combination. The brownie on the other hand was extremely mediocre, nothing special about it. I would say come to the Witches Brew if you are looking for an experience like no other. Be aware that the restaurant is cash only (they have an ATM), and the items on the menu are pretty expensive. I don't have plans on returning, but I can appreciate how some people might enjoy it here.
