15 Best Cafes in Long Island City

“We are visiting from Miami and stumbled upon this hidden gem. We ordered blueberry pancakes , 2 egg platers and a breakfast sandwich and everything was a 10/10. I got myself a mushroom coffee which was interesting , very good as well. The place is small and homey. The staff was very kind and welcoming. They have a variety of options on the menu & they even have vegan protein powder to make shakes. The hash browns and eggs were delicious and were not greasy at all. Fast service . If you are looking for some good breakfast or quick sandwich / wrap / smoothies check them out .“

“I pretty much go to Maman every morning Monday to Friday so much it’s become my morning ritual. William is an awesome kind quick barista with great energy, he makes you feel like you’re apart of the community. I mostly get the cold brew but the croissants are truly the best in the city. I can’t remember life before Maman lol!“

“ottimo accogliente davvero speciale. consigliatissimo!“

“You know when you’re driving to a new area to work and you want to grab food real quick before you start.

This is how I found out about this place. Automatically was driving by to go to a different place and saw a few workers waiting in line to grab some food. So I’m like “you know what let me stop here”.

Once I walked up to the cashier I knew I chose the right spot. From the amount of options on their menu I would say it’s a good amount but not overwhelming.

I decided to get the French toast breakfast sandwich. And when I say that Sammy was busssssin. It was so good!

Whole time im like yeah I have to go back. Noticed they closed at 2pm and finished my day job by 1:30 and rushed back over to get the no. 7 which is a chipotle chicken sandwich on ciabatta. Didn’t disappoint at all either.

Not only was the food great the owner and the staff was amazing.

Let me go save this on my tabs so I remember to come back here when I’m in the area.“

“It’s my favorite restaurant of all time. The service is amazing, every time I’m there I’m threaded like a queen and the atmosphere is so relaxing. Always my go to place“

“Lovely cafe! Such amazing matcha, the cafe staff are so friendly too. Definitely recommend!!❤️“

“Came by for Sunday brunch. Welcomed and seated by a hostess at the bar with a smile. I recognized the bartender/ server - Diego, from my past visit and so did he. A friendly guy with smiles who walked me thru his fav’s - which I asked for. I thoroughly enjoyed my mocktail, Tiradito de Tuna, shrimp ceviche, corn ribs, fish tacos and Tres leches…😋🫶‼️Great energy in the room with live DJ. This place wins for its “presentation” of any dish with flavors! Great food and friendly staff. This is my nth visit and will frequent it. Ty for making my day off…😉😋👏🫶‼️“

“Cute place with delicious teas ??. First picture is of Pineapple Green Tea the next pictures are of Passion fruit green tea. The latter is very sweet even if it wasn't with sweetness 100% the former definitely less sweet but both were tasty and the price is also reasonable.“

“good place“

“Such a cozy and welcoming café. The coffee beans are high quality and you can really taste the difference — smooth, rich, and well made. The space is warm and comfortable, perfect for catching up with friends or spending a relaxed afternoon. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to. ☕️“
