50 Best Cafes near Jamaica

“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.“

“Healthy foods and a relaxing atmosphere. Nice people too!“

“We stayed at the JFK one night and enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the Paris Cafe the next morning. The French toast and the omelet we had were very good. We had attentive service from our waiter, Marco. The atmosphere and the views were outstanding. It was a memorable experience that we can hopefully repeat on the near future.“

“Star Mountain Coffee is a great local café with a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Coffee is well made and consistently smooth, and the space is clean and comfortable for sitting, working, or meeting someone briefly. Staff is polite and efficient without rushing customers. A solid neighborhood spot when you want quality coffee without the chaos of larger chains!“

They have a very large variety of coffee. I love their cappuccino with extra shot in it. The owner is very friendly, polite and knowledgeable. When i entered into the cafe i get all the positive vibes from the ambiance. I’m truly impressed by the service and welcoming experience. Thank you and i will definitely come back again.“

“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.“

“Excellent food and lovely people!!! Recommended 100%“

“Went here for the first time, here are my thoughts:

Customer service: Great! Very welcoming and kind.

Food: The breakfast was AMAZING! I purchased the P.O.A.M and hazelnut latte with a beef stick. The presentation for everything was gorgeous! It tasted just as good as it looked.

Price: It was a bit on the pricey side but not to expensive. I spent roughly $40 for everything.

Parking: I went around 9am and there was plenty of free parking on the side street.

Atmosphere: I sat inside to eat and read a book. Very nice inside. Good amount of sunlight and cozy!

I HIGHLY recommend! I found this place while driving one day and no regrets.“

“Came to this place for their ube latte and it did not disappoint! Inside is pretty spacious. I went on a weekday morning and it was pretty quiet so perfect place to grab your computer and do some work. Their pastries are amazing as well! Great service, highly recommend“

“They operate out of a renovated RV with only outdoor seating from my observation. It's definitely a unique little spot, but don't expect too much. I enjoyed my coffee, and the service was awesome about informing me on vegan latte options!“

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is amazing! You must try the buffalo wings if you love your dishes with a spicy kick and the buffalo cauliflower bites that simply melt in your mouth! The Chef's V Steak is a rich and flavorful you should try it. The service is wonderful and the ambiance is very trendy.“

“I’ve been coming to this coffee shop for over two years now, and there’s truly nothing else like it in the neighborhood. The quality of their coffee is consistently excellent, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. Rodrigo makes my caramel mocha latte every morning — it’s the perfect way to start my day!

The atmosphere is always warm and inviting. I often bring my laptop to get some work done; the Wi-Fi is reliable, the music is always on point, and the vibe is just right for focusing or relaxing.

Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great coffee, friendly service, clean and a welcoming environment.“

“Well what started out as "oh let's try this place" as we hunted for a new brunch spot has quickly become a fam and friends fav. This eatery is a hidden gem in the mount Haven section of the BX...who knew!? Love the rustic casual ,chill vibe & the rooftop seating on a summer day is everything. The food... fresh uncomplicated, there are halal vegan& vegetarian options. The chocolate croissant and vegan carrot cake 🥰 My personal favorite is avocado toast with turkey bacon , arugula or the goddess bowl add a great cup of coffee or Chai latte it's all delish!! To the staff are friendly and helpful. We love this eatery so much we just had my friend's son's wedding there, intimate, beautiful. A must try.“

“Just checked out Nourish, a new restaurant in the South Bronx, and it exceeded expectations. The decor is beautiful, the music sets the perfect vibe, and the overall ambiance makes it a great spot to unwind or meet up with friends.

Our server, King, was incredibly attentive and made sure everything came out perfectly. We ordered cocktails, sliders, and steak — and every single dish was spot on. The food, drinks, and service all came together for a really great experience.

Definitely a new gem in the South Bronx. Looking forward to going back!“

“We passed by this popular store front with lots of people enjoying their treats and decided to get one ourselves.
The waiting line for the kiosk was longer than the delivery of the ice cream itself. The ice cream was fairly creamy and cold. The cone was crunchy as desired.
Matcha taste was a tad bit strong, but good for acquired taste.“

“good food the most amazing jerk chicken and the best drinks“

“Mr. Khalit is amazing! I stumbled upon his shop while i was waiting for my train at Kew Gardens station. It was extremely cold day and was around the shop’s closing time, yet he asked me to stay in his shop even though my train won’t be here for a while. Mr. Khalit is kindhearted and seems to love his job. I’m so glad I found this gem and definitely will visit again if I have the opportunity!“

“A hidden gem of a little café that feels like home the moment you walk in. Everything is made from scratch using fresh, organic ingredients, and you can truly taste the care in every bite. The lovely owner who runs the place pours so much love into her cooking, it’s food that comforts your soul as much as it feeds you. A simple, beautiful spot that reminds you how special homemade food can b. Highly recommended!“

“This coffee is the best coffee that I have ever had. It has ruined all other coffee for me...which is not a bad thing.🖤🖤🖤“

“I've never tried Kava before and so, I really wanted to check it out! This spot in Brooklyn is a very casual, relaxed, and chill spot for you to hang with friends or get some work done (there's free wi-fi!). The menu is pretty straight forward and you can get either your choice of tea or a cocktail.

I ended trying Blood moon, lassi, Kolkata, and Cinnamon toast crunch cocktails. The cocktails themselves were pretty decent and just tasted like juice. Definitely a cool experience, and I would love to try other spots.“

“They’re food is outstanding! I would highly recommend them to all. Cakes are delicious and moist! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“Love this place!
So happy it’s just around the corner from me ☺️. The bartenders are amazing, Jessica is such a sweetheart and makes the absolute best drinks. The owner is super cool and really sets the tone for the great vibes here.
The cook always puts out delicious finger foods which are perfect for snacking while drinking. I especially love when they do karaoke nights and bring in live bands, it’s always a fun time. And when DJ Sound Nice plays there, he always has the place rocking with all types of music.

This spot is a total gem—great atmosphere, great people, and always a good time!“

“Great service and ambiance I had the avocado toast to die for and the coffee was amazing“

“Nomad is wonderful, and a coffee shop that still offers a proper sized drip coffee for a reasonable price :-)
Their egg and cheese on ciabatta w/ sriracha ($6 I think?) keeps my sense of hope alive.
Love this spot- def recommend!!!“

“My girlfriend and I came back twice in 2 days The food was delicious and the 2 people working the front were amazing, they deserve a raise and anyone who disagrees honestly wouldn’t know good service if it bopped them on their bald spot. 10/10 great success“

“I'm in town visiting family and had the chance to check out a few local spots that came highly recommended. Blacksmiths Breads was one of the breakfast places on my list.. and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The coffee was spot-on and the croissant was perfectly soft, buttery, and fresh. Everything hit the mark. I’ll definitely be back, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch, quick breakfast spot. 10/10!“

“When I asked for a refill on my iced coffee they said, “of course! I feed my customers like my family.”

The burger was perfection. I don’t remember getting such genuinely incredible customer service and it was the first time I visited. Love the community in this area.

When I googled “cafe” in the neighborhood, this place came up. Absolutely worth coming here.“

“One of my favorite coffee spots and I live in Nassau County but it’s worth the trip every single time! I finally tried their Nutella latte and it is worth the hype. I look forward to keep coming here and highly recommend to friends and family.“

“Soulful Neighborhood Gem!
I feel truly blessed to have discovered Across Broadway Cafe. It is a rare find that manages to be both delicious and quaint, offering a cozy atmosphere that immediately feels like home.
The South American food here is the real deal—everything is incredibly fresh and delicious. They offer a great variety of authentic flavors, from perfectly cooked meals
to rich, bold coffee. You can tell everything is made with high-quality ingredients and a lot of heart.
What really sets this place apart, though, are the kind people. The staff treats you like family, and their genuine hospitality makes every visit special. If you want a fresh, authentic meal in a space that feels welcoming and warm, this is the spot!
I had only a small sample , would love to have more 😊“

“Food is so delicious and great, we tried the egg and cheese with halal bacon which was tasty, but the short ribs sandwich is another level of tastiness, was just perfect!
Their coffee is also perfect.
The staff are very friendly and nice, for sure I recommend this spot for a brunch.“

“After a gazillion weeks of quarantine, or what seemed like anyway, we dined out in their courtyard. Everything was fresh and tasty and excellent service. It truly was a well earned treat, Looking forward to our next visit.“

“Great local spot. I was in the area for a meeting. My breakfast sandwich was bomb. Flavors were yummy! Lox, pickled onion and cilantro with veggie cream cheese on an everything. 😋 Music was bumping and the atmosphere inviting.“

“One of a kind. Their food is amazing. Presentation on point. They serve all sorts of coffee and they have a wide selection of juice and smoothies. I came in for a green juice, who knew they had a food menu. I definitely recommend this place“
