In a world filled with cookie-cutter coffeehouses, Flux Coffee is one of a kind. It's an independent, local cafe that offers gourmet java, freshly baked pastries, and much more. On a warm day in Farmingdale, its mosaic teal tables on the sidewalk are the perfect place to indulge in a fruity strawberry tea and a specialty doughnut.

But you can come inside and grab a top-notch cup of joe any day, regardless of the weather. The coffeehouse's team sources coffee from single-origin providers that only offer the very best beans. So you can sip on a simple pour-over cup of black coffee and still enjoy an array of complex flavors. Of course, you can also opt for a slightly sweeter latte or one of the other artisan drinks on the menu at Flux Coffee.
