50 Best Coffee Shops near East Rockaway

“Gianna was AMAZING in the Island Park store. totally recommend.“

“I love this place. I wish I could frequent it more often but i moved out of that part of the island.“

“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.“

“​Annie’s Social is a gem! I had an incredible Americano here—smooth, high-quality, and perfectly brewed. What really makes this place stand out is the dedicated indoor dog room. It’s a game-changer to have a separate, clean space to hang out with your pup while enjoying top-tier coffee. Great vibes and even better service. Highly recommend!“

“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!!!“

“A lovely café with a nice, relaxing environment and simple yet elegant décor. The vibe is calm and inviting—perfect for unwinding or enjoying a quiet moment. I tried the matcha latte and absolutely loved it; the balance between the milk and matcha was just right, smooth and not overpowering. The avocado sandwich was also delicious and very satisfying. A great spot to relax and enjoy quality drinks and food. Highly recommend!“

They just launched their fall pumpkin donut and latte and they were amazzzzzinnnnngggg. Staff was super friendly and served the meal with a smile Shadeek and Adiba were awesome!“

“We (Bae, Brody & I) love Grey's Cafe! Highlights are the delicious Lattes, the friendly and always welcoming with a smile, service. Bonus points for the various fun places to sit around the coffee shop. Inside and out. The vibe is very studious. E.g., Smart people there studying science and anatomy. I get a lot of work done when there.
*Need to mention the holiday decorations.“

“Love!! Will definitely come back. Food was great. I got the steak and eggs that came with truffle fries. Portion size was perfect. I also got the mimosa flight which was worth it! Loved the vibe and the staff was friendly. Only note was that I asked for my steak medium and it was definitely on the well side, but it was still tasty.“

“I must say this place really impressed!
Maybe one of the cleanest looking restaurants I have ever scene.
Very nice ambiance.
Food was yum, we got truffle fries, penne aka vodka, the cauliflower, and mozzarella sticks, and pizza.
Got a salad that was ehh but they took it back no problem, really good service.
Bathroom was also very nice, fresh smelling…..

Shoutout to Juan who ran after us to give us our pizza in the freezing cold 📣📣“

“Such a sweet spot. Staff is kind and attentive. They do not rush you. The decore reminds me of a curated antique store with Victorian inspiration. Very clean and calm. Purple yam latte was yummy.
Not really a study place. They don't have wifi and please don't bring laptops per the sign.“

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

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

“I really like this place when it comes to doing work, it’s very cozy and the atmosphere is welcoming. I love their coffees but the one that has my heart is the dalgona coffee it’s not too sweet or too strong, just perfect and the pieces of dalgona make it tastier“

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

“We had such a delightful brunch this morning. The service and food were both fabulous!“

“It’s more of a desert shop. Very tasty. The atmosphere is great too and very clean. The only down fall to the restaurant is the staff. Not welcoming at all and don’t greet you. I’m from out of country and I love to experience new places and I like to go back to restaurants that are friendly and warm, however, I won’t return here because of the staff lack of hospitality.“

“I was there this morning and the girl working was awesome. We waited a little but that was fine. Donuts are always the best. Truly worth it. Sometimes small businesses struggle with staffing and it was evident they had a call out or something today with the holidays. Still love this place!!“

“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!“

“love this place so much! have been going here for a few years and every time I go everything is so good :)“

“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.“

“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“

“Small neighborhood, whole in the wall kind of place. We were so pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. We went before noon and had egg platter breakfast and the tempura udon. Weird combo but worked somehow. Breakfast was good but the udon was sooo good! Brother was delicious! I think it beats many of the udons expensive restaurants. It will be one of our staple places for breakfast“
