Tic Toc

There are not many cafes that have clocks hanging outside. In the l940s vintage clocks on cafes were often seen, especially in Manhattan. It's the clock that attracted me to the Tic Toc Cafe in St. James on Lake Avenue. I'm glad I went into this nice little cafe. The women who work there seem really nice and willing to please. This is a place where you can sit and have a piece of cake and coffee or a bagel and soup or a wrap or panini and sit where you like and stay as long as you want. It is self serve so no tips here. My recommendation is the fresh squeezed orange juice. I don't know any other place in Suffolk that sells fresh squeezed orange juice, not even Wild By Nature. The price is $3.00 for a small, but a small is all you need. You can feel the vitamins go down your throat when you drink this juice. Recommended for colds and for orange lovers. A different species from the OJ bought in the store. The bagels are 35 cents on weekends. With a cup of soup for $3.00 you can have a great meal for $3.35. The cakes look hand made. I haven't tried the sandwiches yet, but I'll keep you informed.
