Having had to go out to Long Island, it was so nice to discover this little café/restaurant in a part of the world where there is a dearth of vegan eateries. They serve everything from fresh juices and light snacks, to creatively-concocted salads to full meals (what they call "strong bowls"), along with soups, deserts and combo dishes. The food is excellent, well-prepared and very tasty. Healthy too! No bad ingredients. Very friendly service, and the place is cozy an attractive. Definitely worth seeking out. Some practical advice: don't confuse Deer Park Road with East Deer Park Road--where the restaurant is located--or you might wind up driving to the other side of Long Island. East Deer Park Road is at the first light (make a left turn) as you travel south on Deer Park Road from Route 25 (Jericho Turnpike). You'll see Plant Strong on the right, almost at the end of East Deer Park Road, inside a small shopping complex.
