“Ive been coming to Annie’s for over a year and love it so much! Their coffee is top tier! I usually get a latte or their draft La Colombe cold brew. It’s always made perfect they also have a variety of pastries and bagels. I’m a big dog lover and have a doodle of my own and this place is super cute because they have a separated dog friendly back area which you can bring your dog to socialize with others and enjoy your coffee.“

“I just found this gem recently and have been hooked! The staff is so friendly and the coffee is amazing! I travel there about 15-20 minutes out of my way just to get my coffee, that’s how great it is! Can’t recommend Buzz’d enough!!!“

“Just have to give a quick shoutout to Hard Bean on Merrick Ave. Victor and his wife Elise opened 10 days ago just north of the train station. My fiancé and I were talking to the owners and learned that opening a coffee shop was Victor’s dream. After working at his previous career for almost 30 years, he retired and opened this place. It’s charming inside and the coffee is delicious and less expensive than *$s. They are literally a mom and pop shop and after spending some time there I wanted to post to support and recommend Hard Bean to all the locals.“

“Just went to Greek City Grille and ordered the chicken souvlaki platter with lemon potatoes. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and the lemon potatoes were absolutely amazing. The staff was extremely friendly and the place was so clean and decorated beautifully. Will definitely be coming back!“

“This is a great coffee shop for studying, tho if you really need to concentrate, I'd recommend bringing headphones. While the food is a bit pricier, the ambiance is fantastic! They have all sorts of chairs to choose from, plenty of cushions, and even adjustable standing desks, which makes it very comfortable.

If the owners happen to see this, I'd suggest replacing one specific table that has some peeling veneer 😭 it just doesn't look very good. Otherwise, everything else is lovely. Their restrooms are also very clean, and there are even two mirrors inside to admire yourself! ❤️Throughout the afternoon, I saw many people comfortably studying, working, and chatting here. Thx to the wifi service 🥳“

But other than their food their customer service is outstanding! I don’t know her name but she makes my mornings everyday so I head to work happy 😂
Thank you so much and i’ll be bringing myself and my friends all the time lol!“

“This place is straight out of a film! step inside and you’re transported. The ambiance is extraordinary, like a scene from a classic movie, with soft, cinematic background music that wraps around you like a warm hug. The staff are genuinely kind and attentive, and the host? An absolute gem—welcoming, warm, and makes you feel like a regular from day one.

What sets this place apart is how it feels ahead of its time while being steeped in history. Everywhere you look, there are stunning, authentic antiques—each piece telling a story. The attention to detail is top-notch, from the decor to the service to the perfectly crafted drinks and dishes.
I’ve never experienced a café this special. It’s not just a place to eat—it’s an experience. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Capri is absolutely fantastic! The food is amazing, the service is warm and attentive, and everything came out so quickly.

We started with the fish tacos, mozzarella sticks, and tuna tartare—each one was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For the main, we had the rigatoni pasta, cooked perfectly and full of rich flavor. I also got the strawberry iced tea, which was refreshing, delicious, and a true 10/10!

Overall, Capri is a true gem. Delicious food, awesome service, and such a pleasant dining experience. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!“

“Bright and early in the morning Nyla was a ray of sunshine on this gloomy day. She took her time explaining the menu options. Walked us thru the process. Put so much love into our donuts and treated us like long time friends. Felt like hanging out in your best friend’s kitchen instead of picking up donuts at a shop. I will definitely be back!!“

“Took two trips here on the same day to sample something for brunch and for lunch. For starters, the place is pretty big despite how the place looks from the entrance. The people working behind the counter were pretty cool, service was on point. For breakfast I had the Nutella Custard Croffle and a can of Celsius. The croffle was delightful for sure, pleasing to the taste buds though one small complaint...I don't think croffles are a good base for any sandwich because it was messy eating that, the croffle was kinda all over the place eating it.

Came back here for lunch after a few hours in the gym to order a Mocha Haze Power Smoothie and a Smoked Turkey Croffle. Croffle sandwiches here are delicious as a whole but they are very unstable and can leave a mess so as a note, ALWAYS ask for extra napkins. The smoothie was very good and filling too. I could see myself coming around here a couple more times, trying out as much of their expansive menu as I possibly could.“

“Fantastic drinks, tasty desserts, and an incredibly friendly staff. This is what a neighborhood coffee shop is all about. We will certainly be back.“

“Thank you for the most delicious bday cake on 4/13/25!“

“Went here to meet and friend and we've been coming back weekly ever since. The coffee is amazing. I gave it four stars for food because the sandwich I got was too spicy and and the level of heat wasn't properly indicated.

The ambiance is amazing and the owner fantastic. He stays and watches over the place like a proud poppa. Super chill and friendly. I'll definitely be going back next week.

One of the few coffee spots with permanent with outdoor seating. They even have a pergola. 😁“

“Debbie is the greatest Best place ever Best food!“

“Best breakfast I’ve had in a very long time. The place is a delight. Glad I found it and will return often.. Thank you, Trish. if you’re in Long Beach, don’t miss out on stopping in for breakfast or lunch. You will not be sorry.“

“It was a wonderful experience , considering it is my first time. We had to wait a few minutes to get our table for 4 but that’s okay! The employees were super nice and went out of their way to pull and extra table for us. I loved the authentic atmosphere. The lighting, decor, and the overall feeling of the restaurant was great! And amazing food. My family loved what we ordered and the matcha cheesecake for dessert was so good! Compliments to the chef! I could definitely see myself coming back here again, whether alone or with family or friends. Well done, Nippon Cha!“

“My friend and I have been here twice, and you absolutely have to try their Baked Chicken Chop! It's super delicious, and the portion is huge for only ~$15. (Baked Chicken Chop, ketchup, and fried rice)

Other food are kinda bland tbh…“

“Cozy little place, owner/all staff members are kind and friendly. Best clam chowder and sandwiches, not only breakfast menus. Amazing grilled chicken that’s seasoned and cooked perfectly every time. Price is too cheap for the quality of food and drinks!!“

“Absolutely a hidden gem! The meat is juicy and flavorful. Really hit the spot. It’s hard to believe we have authentic Mexican cuisine in east queens. But this place hits. We will definitely come back

Huge bonus to the service and free tortillas chips & salsa

There special items on weekends such as Taco de oreja and Taco de lengua“
