Today I will talk about a hidden gem right in Riverhead New York. Sarikopa. This is less of a coffee shop and more like a coffee and tea Cafe. They even call themselves Organic Coffee plus Tea House. I started going there about 2 years ago in 2020. That's when I found out they were around for almost 5 years. Since my podcast focuses on coffee I will start there. First I want to say that they do not roast their own coffee, but you can pick up some whole bean blends while visiting. They prepare the usual coffees both hot and iced. I like the taste of the house blend and the fact that they are consistent in their prep. You will usually find one or both of the owners working behind the counter. They are friendly and efficient. My most memorable visit was when I ordered coffee by the French Press method. I was brought a large full Plunger and they poured the first cup. Three cups later I was caffeinated enough for the week. I do not drink tea often and I don't know the first thing about it. Sarikopa does tea right though. They have 53 varieties to choose from whether you're having one brewed on the spot or taking some home. Also available is a decent assortment of healthy organic smoothies. I love a place that has something for everyone. So who doesn't like great cafe food? Grab and go and made to order food are both available at Sarikopa. Most of the food is organic with plenty of vegan and/or gluten free options. I love the wraps, salads and the pistachio pie. I get the pistachio pie every time I visit with the worry they won't have it when I get there. The cafe at 226 Riverleigh Avenue in Riverhead New York is highly recommended. Both the exterior and interior make you feel relaxed. Add the friendly staff and quick service and I'm sure you'll recommended this place to your friends and family. I hope you enjoy it. Sarikopa.com
