50 Best Cafes near Little Neck

“Honestly parking here is HORRIBLE because it’s located in a shopping center with a few other businesses/ restaurants so I would say best to park outside the lot. I ended up parking 2 blocks away which was far for this area. The cafe is small and can easily be missed. They’re a lot of seating and wasn’t busy so service was quick. They’re blueberry matcha was a special and when I received it I didn’t think I would like it as much since I’m not a fan of anything with pulp and the blueberry had pulp bits but you can tell it’s super fresh. After my first sip I can’t wait to go back for more because it was THAT good. Probably the best blueberry matcha I’ve ever had. I love places like this - little hole in the wall spots that just slap! Would recommend but it is far from me so I would have to make the 25 min drive (without traffic) just for this cafe. Wish the matcha was a little stronger so I would probably do double matcha next time but it did work well with the recipe for the drink. Would highly recommend giving this a try. I saw they have strawberry matcha too so maybe I’ll get both next time“

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“The environment is very warm and feels natural. They used to have a pacman game by the stools on the side, but have gotten rid of that. However, the food is AMAZING. I have been coming here for the past year or so whenever I have appointments or am craving a sweet treat. I love the biscoff and cream waffle but also the k-dogs have been good for when I want hot foods.“

“Today my family and I went to Cafe Haven and it was a great experience. We enjoyed how child friendly the environment was, the food was fresh and coffee was great. We would highly recommend Cafe Haven! Thanks to the team there for ensuring we had a great experience. God bless“

“Totally enjoyed everything about this place. Stopped in to take my little sister out for cheesecake, was nicely greeted and served. Cheesecake was amazing!! Chai tea also was wonderful. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“Such a cute unique and cozy vibe! I fell in love with the dalgona milk bingsoo. It’s the best bingsoo I’ve had in NYC and outside of Korea and that’s saying a lot! Very unique and complex taste that I wasn’t expecting.“

“I live about a 15-minute walk from this Filipino cafe, and I’m so happy I finally visited. It’s such a cozy and cute little spot. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. I had the iced Ube Eclipse, which comes with a shot of espresso, and it was absolutely delicious. They recommended sipping it before mixing it with the straw, and the flavor was so well balanced. You could really taste the quality ingredients, and it wasn’t overly sweet at all, just perfect. Definitely coming back to try more of their food, pastries, and coffee bar drinks“

“Humble cafe has a chill vibe which I loved. The music and setting is perfect for anyone wanting to relax, read or catch up with friends. I found it interesting that they roast their own coffee beans. I've never seen a machine like the one they have up close before so I found it unique. We just had an iced latte and ice coffee and found it to be a good Saturday afternoon spot to spend time in.“

“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.“

“In a quest to find “REAL “ whitefish salad, I followed a friend’s suggestion and tried Cafe 17A. Amazing! This past weekend I tried several other salads- Vegetable Tuna, Chicken Salad, Egg whites and spinach, Egg salad and mushrooms and of course sliced Nova and home made cream cheeses. My guests raved! Everything is fresh, and homemade with Love by Scott, the owner. Thanks Scott, - can’t wait to return- You’ve definitely nailed it“

“The food was fine. We ordered calamari to start, and a spicy chicken sandwich and the kale salad and 1 cocktail each. It was good, but for $140.00... Our server Hussain was friendly and the atmosphere was fun, but the meal/drinks were not worthy of the tab. But what do you expect..“

“Just had food from the food truck, delish!!! Ate inside then ordered dessert and coffee, amazing. Lovely staff, welcoming place.☘️🇮🇹☘️“

“AMAZINGGGG BUBBLE TEA, CREPE, ROLLED ICE CREAM & MORE!!! WILL BE BACK FOR SURE“

“I got the mango/matcha soft serve! Needless to say, this was one of the most delicious matcha desserts I have had in a long time! I'm a matcha enthusiast and I have been to Maiko before but never had their soft serve. This was exactly what I needed to satisfy my sweet tooth! The flavor is sweet enough and the matcha really come through - I can compare the flavor profile to Chigi no shiro by Marukyu Koyamaen. Overall, this was a perfect dessert for an extreamly warm day in NYC“

“Edit 2026: this used to be my favorite spot around QC until today, I got a pressed juice but the actual juice/fruit they used was so little. After 10 minutes you could see the water to pressed ingredients ratio and it’s so little… I’m disappointed. It’s not the most expensive but if you’re going to sell me this then lower the prices

Old review 2025
Amazing boba! The flavor of the tea is amazing. The people working there are very nice and the boba pearls are nice“

“The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. My juice was amazing and I topped it off with a veggie patty. I will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“I can’t believe I just discovered Off Grids Commons, especially since it’s so close to where I live. This is such a cool little coffee shop with a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay and relax.

So far, I’ve only tried their Ube Hojicha, and it was fantastic. The flavors were unique, well balanced, and unlike anything I’ve had at a typical coffee shop. It was smooth, not overly sweet, and left me excited to come back and explore the rest of the menu.

It’s always great finding a local spot that stands out, and I’m glad this one is practically in my backyard. I’m definitely looking forward to trying more of what they have to offer in the future. If you’re on or around Bell Boulevard, Off Grids Commons is absolutely worth checking out.“

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

“This is by far my favorite coffee shop! The coffee is always fresh, delicious, and made perfectly every time. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is cozy, clean, and the perfect place to relax, study, or catch up with friends. I love supporting a local business that consistently provides such great service and quality. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing coffee and a great experience!“

“The Pelican Room is relatively new, but they seemingly manage to bring a homely, inviting ambiance to your table. From the service to the food, everything was impeccable. I cannot recommend the truffle and gouda coquettes enough. Definitely looking forward to another visit soon.“

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

“The Polo Lounge is such a great place! We were celebrating our 1 year anniversary and another couple was celebrating their 50th anniversary! The food was delicious! The portions are appropriate so you're not totally full before your main course even comes. The atmosphere is a fun. There's a lounge singer and couples dancing. It was lovely to watch and we were sitting in our booth. There was a wedding going on, but it did not bother the restaurant at all. We will be back every year for our anniversary after bring married at Westbury Manor. The staff, the food, and the atmosphere will keep us coming back!“

“I love the energy they have behind the counter especially Myra !!! but PLEASE please please (3x) bring the GARLIC TOAST BACK . That was my favorite and my go to after the gym forreal . I’ll never be the same without it ☹“

“When I visited the cafe, Mahi took my order, and he was amazing. He was friendly, funny, and fast-paced. I ordered a taro bubble milk tea, and he had it out in what felt like an instant. Even though I wasn’t at the cafe for long, he checked on me to make sure everything was to my liking. By the time I left, he had made a lasting impression in a short amount of time. I’ll definitely be coming back to this excellent cafe in the future!“

“Found this little gem through Google as we took my mother in law to the hospital for her surgery. The place didn’t disappoint, we had French toast, avocado toast, and eggs with bacon and sausage. Everything was amazing and the owner who was also our server was super sweet and funny!! I would recommend this place to everyone !!“

“Was there visiting from Ohio. Great coffee enjoyed sitting outside taking in the scenery.“

“We had a delicious Korean Street Toast and sausage egg, cheese breakfast sandwich and coffee and smoothie! We were able to order from their window and sit outside and enjoy the weather with our dog at their outdoor table. Service was so friendly!!!“

“What a great spot to eat. Delicious food and courteous staff. 👍“

“My visits are few and far between, because I don't drive. But everything I go, I'm with someone who has never been there, and they are always impressed by the massive selection, the taste, and the freshness. Gourmet express never disappoints. This time they had vegan carrot cake loaf, foccaicia, and olive bread loaf. I bought them all!!😊“

“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 😊“

“Wide selection of delicious & well priced food and drinks in a cozy cafe atmosphere. Very friendly staff! Highly recommend“

“Love this place excellent ice cream and macaroons“

“Ordered on DoorDash. Hungry man made correctly, fresh ingredients. Bagel with choc chip cream cheese. Also fresh. Good spread. Copious amounts of the cream cheese. Bagel fresh not to chewy. Overall decent experience. Now let's take it up a notch and sell spreads on DD by the 1/4 & 1/2 pounds!“

“I’m a WFH girly & I’m always looking for cafes to work at. The atmosphere was nice - pretty spacious & cozy. The music was nice & not too loud. I had a cappuccino with almond milk & cinnamon on the top. It was so good & loved the presentation. I’ll be back - looking fwd to trying some food options.“

“The guy was the sweetest most caring person, he made sure to decorate my ice cream and put it in the freezer while prepping my other order of chocolate bread. It felt very nice going to a place that puts effort and care into the food and its customers. Most definitely will be coming back with friends and family’s price is super fair as well!“

“I’m new to the Neighbourhood, but I just found my new spot. Tommy’s deli Is a nice convenient and well Established. The owner Angela was very nice very respectful and the way she ran her business and the entire presentation is a five out of five. It’s A+. She’s a great individual.
More so I had a dilemma and I just casually run it up with her, A stranger that just met while she was making me a sandwich
She gave me amazing advice and she made me feel a whole lot better About myself
The drinks and the food that I ordered from the place were delicious and I will find myself going there again.“

“OMG!! Absolutely delicious!!! This is my 10th time here and I am still impressed with the food and service. I had the Tuscany chicken melt- highly recommend and my sister had the Parmesan crusted chicken - phenomenal!! Our waiter Anthony- THE BEST! Attentive, polite and generous. Every time I visit NY- I look forward to coming here! I wish they would branch out to Florida. Compliments to the chef and staff- keep up the GREAT WORK!“

“Fabulous healthy food. Kind staff. Definitely a favorite 👍🏻“

“My sister loves this spot so had to check it out. Enjoyed their cara caramel latte and latte with vanilla malt syrup. Tons of pastries to choose from. Enjoyed their spinach feta as well as breakfast burrito. They sell merch and tons of other cute knickknacks. Plenty of space to sit and enjoy whatever you end up ordering. The coffee baristas were super nice. Will be back for more caffeine!! You can encounter long lines depending on what time you come in.“

“Most amazing and delicious healthy foods & drinks 🙌🏻so many places to sit outside especially on an amazing day“

“Food and service here is impeccable. Fresh ingredients, artisanal snacks, and healthy options! We stay at the hospital often and so happy with this healthy option in the neighborhood. The ambiance is super adorable too-- perfect place to catch up with friends.“

“This is place is absolutely adorable and quaint! The owners are such beautiful people and sooooo creative. The food is healthy and the entire vibe feels welcoming and homey. I love love love coming here!!!! Very kid friendly! You can tell they really care about their business because of all of the attention to detail within their market! <3 We even have our mompreneur meetings here!!“

“You can taste freshly baked walnut cookies at Cocohodo, and they are so delicious!! The atmosphere is cozy and cute, and the coffee is delicious!!“

“What an incredible place! I was in a pinch as I was planning on visiting my family for a few weeks in New York. My dates kept changing and the team went above and beyond to accommodate me and my evolving schedule. My daughter LOVED going to the camp. She came home with so many stories, they made food, craft and had fun! What a gem. We will be coming back when travel again to garden city“

“Tried the Fiesta Savory Crepe today and honestly, I was impressed! The crepe was soft with a little crisp on the edges, and the filling was super flavorful. I loved the mix of spices—it had a nice kick but wasn’t too spicy. Everything tasted fresh, and it was really satisfying without feeling too heavy. Definitely something I’d order again. Great option if you’re in the mood for something savory and a little different!“

“It was wonderful to sit and talk with my company without having to raise my voice. They layout of the restaurant is great, warm and relaxing. Service and pace was on point. The menu has many options for all. My only reason not to give the experience a full 5⭐️is because the food was very good but not amazing.“

“Recomendado 100%, deliciosa comida“

“I stopped by this bakery on a whim, and I’m really glad I did. Everything looked fresh, and the pastries tasted just as good as they looked. I tried a croissant and a cinnamon roll, and both were flaky, soft, and full of flavor without being overly sweet. The staff was friendly and patient, and the shop itself was clean and welcoming. You can tell they put a lot of care into what they make. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their breads and desserts.“
