Cafe Blessing - Mineola, NY

Cafe Blessing is a small Korean-owned café on Mineola Boulevard, right by the Mineola LIRR station. The owners bake every morning, and they hand you a chocolate with your order.

Matcha's the specialty. The strawberry matcha and blueberry matcha are just as popular as the regular matcha latte. From the bakery, the scallion bread is the savory pick, and the chocolate croffles and chocolate madeleines are the sweet ones. For a real meal there's bulgogi and kimbap.

Inside it's small, with plants and flowers and a few seats. There are some metered spots out front, and it's an easy stop before or after the train.
