‘Energy And Innovation’: Beloved Eatery Returns With New Cafe On LI’s South Shore

After a nearly two-year hiatus, a beloved breakfast and lunch cafe has returned to Bay Shore.

Roto All Day, the revised and revamped Roto Grocery, which closed in 2023, celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting on Wednesday, joined by community members and the Bay Shore Chamber of Commerce.

The reimagined restaurant featuring artisan sandwiches, seasonal bites, and house-made specialties, crafted with locally sourced ingredients, is the brainchild of co-owners Brock Ferraro and Jack Monahan.

“We are thrilled to bring Roto to Shoregate and continue our journey of providing exceptional culinary experiences to our community,” Ferraro said. “This new location gives us the opportunity to grow our menu, connect with more of the Bay Shore community and serve everyone from local residents to beachgoers heading to and from the train.”

The new 1,650-square-foot cafe is at the corner of 4th Avenue and Mechanicsville Road within the Shoregate apartment complex, a block from the Bay Shore Long Island Rail Road station. According to Ferraro and Monahan, the cafe offers an “elevated approach to breakfast and lunch ” that accommodates commuters with a grab-and-go layout, open shelving and counter seating.
