The Post Office Café is a beloved fixture in Babylon for over four decades. Housed in a renovated 1930s former post office, it combines historic charm—complete with carousel horses and a high-ceiling bar—with modern touches like a projection screen for Sunday NFL games .

Part of the sixth-generation family-owned Lessing’s Hospitality Group, it’s known for consistently juicy signature burgers (Truffle Shroom, Smokehouse) and a more elevated menu that includes handhelds, Buddha bowls, Cajun shrimp, poke tuna, salads, soups, and an impressive craft cocktail list.

Guests enjoy an inviting yet lively atmosphere—cosy booths, attentive staff (CJ and Alice are often praised), live music, and happy hour specials midweek to weekend. It’s a warm, inclusive space where more than food: it’s about connection. As one review noted:

“People don’t come to us because they’re hungry. They come for company and companionship.”

Additionally, it functions as a flexible event space and caters weddings, brunches, and rehearsal dinners, highlighting its appeal for both casual nights and important milestones.

Why it stands out:

  • Long-standing community hub with historic ambiance
  • Broad, polished menu—burgers, bowls, small plates, cocktails
  • Warm, inclusive vibe with reliable service and live entertainment
  • Flexible venue for celebrations and events, backed by family-owned excellence
Bottom line: The Post Office Café delivers a rich blend of history, hearty modern American cuisine, crafted cocktails, and a communal spirit. It’s as ideal for nightly burgers and beers as it is for casual celebrations or marathon weekend hangs in Babylon.
