45 Best Coffee Roasters near Long Island City

“I absolutely love this place. If you're an enthusiast they take the time to speak with you about the coffees they sell. They're not just baristas in here, they are truly passionate about the coffee they roast and brew. The classes here are all amazing. I've taken probably half of them haha. Other worldly experience coming here tasting some of the best coffees on earth.“

“Absolute 10/10 coffee, as Dutch people we don’t find regular filter coffee strong and so far in our week trip in US, Joe Coffee was the most delicious coffee ever. Quad yummy!
The banana bread latte yummy!
Note: they have also a women owned line, I had seen a tumbler and I couldn’t go back. If I make it back I’m buying one.“

“I was looking for a place specifically to work on my laptop for a couple hours. This popped to the top of the list. Sweet upstairs loft with good wifi and power outlets. Coffee is excellent, and the treats are great. I walked a few blocks to check it out and totally worth it.“

“Pricey but tasty! Love the iced rum-infused Coquito latte, but you can’t really go wrong with any of them! Packaging for iced drinks is really cute and the theme and culture make the coffee feel really unique. Pastries are also solid. There was one time we came about a hour after opening time but the doors were still locked and the person inside told us they were closed which was weird…but usually the service is also pretty friendly and helpful.“

“The best in the neighborhood!“

“I was a passerby not from the neighborhood and decided to try this coffee spot and it was very underrated and didnt have many reviews but the coffee here is truly amazing and strong unlike many other cafes these are real strong espresso shots that will give u energy. I had their hot latte which came with 3 shots and i asked for an extra one and it came out very strong like i wanted it kept me awake for a long time on very little sleep. Very law enforcement friendly and fairly priced i rather pay $4 for a cup of coffee here and have real coffee than $8 at Starbucks or dunkin for tasteless coffee.

“I just ordered a bunch of different roasted nuts , so pleased with the products, it’s fresh and excellent quality. Also I received my order in 24 hours. Thank you Nuthut!! 👍👍😊“

“My new favorite coffee shop! Excellent service and product! Highly recommend to all coffee lovers.“

“What an easy, laid back place! This was such a good find- I’ll definitely be coming back.

Jonathan was super helpful and gracious- made everyone feel at ease and at home- he answered my litany of questions easily and without judgement;). I fear that all the positive reviews would made this place too busy for me to visit (I like the hide my favorite places) but this one was so unique, it deserves a great review!“

“The great concept of sustainability. Looking forward for our future.“

“If you want a small, healthy snack and a good coffee, this is the place. Very good choices of music and friendly service as well, especialy Charlie. I usually come at closing and he is so good at cleaning and making things pristine.❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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.🖤🖤🖤“

“support the bzrrio by supporting the local businesses and not the Stsrbuck types“

“Went bakery hopping that day. by far it has the best croissant. Even saved one for the next day, toasted it and tasted just as good. Staff was friendly too.“

“Might be the best coffee in jersey city. Not all baristas are necessarily the same, but pretty much all of the ones I've had make my cortado perfectly, and they started remembering me and my order after just 2 or 3 visits. Also the children's play area, which is free to use, is great--my son loves it. This has become my go-to coffee shop.“

“This is easily one of the best coffee shops in harlem and don’t sleep on it!!!!!!!! The coffee is perfect EVERY time but also the owners are so welcoming and knowledgeable and have made it a community hub!! Can’t recommend enough!!!!!!!“

“We were visiting from out of town this week and came to Moco more than once just because of how friendly the staff was. We met Jana, one of the women working, and we had to come back because she was just so awesome. The whole staff was incredibly kind and made our day! Yez was awesome too. Love this whole staff:))“

“el iced dirty horchata with super rico.😋😋“

“Sote Coffee Roasters is a true haven for coffee lovers. As soon as you walk in, you’re met with the rich, comforting aroma of freshly roasted beans and a sleek, modern interior that still manages to feel warm and inviting. The minimalist design highlights what matters most the coffee and the staff’s passion for their craft is clear from the first pour to the last sip.

I ordered a pour-over and a cardamom bun, and both were phenomenal. The coffee was perfectly extracted, smooth, and full of nuanced flavor notes, while the pastry was subtly spiced and wonderfully fresh. It’s the kind of place where every detail from bean sourcing to music playlist feels curated with intention. If you're someone who appreciates slow coffee done right, Sote is absolutely worth the stop.“

“Great coffee, We stopped at Roast’d coffee shop before heading to NYC, great experience; the pour over coffee was fantastic. Johan was quite friendly explaining different coffee beans as he roasted them and brews the coffee. I tried the espresso as well brewed from 3 different beans, very tasty. Now this is our favorite place to have coffee when traveling to NYC. We talked with local customers, so good vibes and recommendations. Awesome place if you love good coffee.“

“Excellent coffee!! Excellent service !!!“

“It's fantastic to have a coffee shop where the owners take care to buy top quality, organic, fair trade beans which they roast themselves on-site. The staff are fabulous and really know what they're doing.“

“Im not a review-leaver but I have to for this coffee shop. This was my second time in and the staff is so genuine and kind. The coffee is excellent and I keep eyeing the pastries (which I learned are made in-house) but I come in after a run so it never feels like the right time. One day I will, but for now the coffee and the people are 10/10“

“Dropped in to the Chelsea location 2 weeks ago while vacationing in NYC. Great coffee, great atmosphere, great price. What’s not to like?“

“The coffee rocks. You have to have coffee black with NO Sugar to catch all the flavors. The Guatamala medium roast is the star in my eyes. I usually like a dark roast but this has such nice undertones the lushness of a dark roast is not missed. There is a nice, sneaky, dark chocolate taste on first touch with your tongue, then a vanilla aroma in your nose with a bit of dark berry. It has a smooth and lower acid texture, which I love. The final hit is of a citrus zest. Like oil squeezed from the lemon skin, not a micro-planing of the skin. I received two 12oz bags of the Guatamala: one drip grind, one whole bean. I tried it hot with the drop grind and it was shocking good, as noted above. The beans I ground for cold brew. The cold brew had a stronger chocolate back end but while the fruit flavor disappeared, the lemon oil remained. I like cold brew better in general because of the lower acidity but the difference between the hot and cold brew versions did not have a substantial difference in the amount of acid. Excellent and recommended. Would love it if they tried a dark or even espresso roast. It might lose some of the nuance, but I bet the chocolate would stand out further. I was also given a bag of Curiosity blend. This was medium roast and very smooth. My partner loved this more than the Guatamala, especially the cold brew, and could drink it all the time. They called it a very clean, smooth coffee with no bite. I found it a very good coffee but with no standout flavors. I also thought it had a slightly rough aftertaste on the back of the tongue. Time to run to the Brooklyn Navy Yard for another bag. 😋😋😂😋😋“

“💯Best Coffee Ever!!! 💯“

“Brooklyn Roasting Company has become my go-to coffee spot. Their brews are rich, smooth, and never bitter. The baristas are friendly and quick, which makes my morning routine so much easier.“

“This place is quiet for working and enjoying coffee and chai lattes. After spending the majority of the working week for months here at Olas, the baristas have always been consistently neighborly and friendly. Love the cups made by a local artist as well. ❤️“

“Solid State Coffee is my secret go-to after the American Museum of Natural History with kids. It can get crowded, but the line moves fast, which matters a lot when you’re operating on museum-level child energy.

What keeps me coming back is that both the coffee and the food are genuinely very good. This is not just a “parents in survival mode” stop. The menu has real range: solid savory options for adults, including lighter choices like avocado toast and a super grain bowl, plus easy kid fuel like tomato soup, grilled cheese, buns, and hot cocoa. Their syrniki are my personal favorite — baked farmer’s cheese patties served with strawberry jam and whipped labneh — and they manage to feel both comforting and protein-packed. 

The café is on West 71st Street and is open daily from 7 AM to 4 PM, which makes it especially convenient for a breakfast, lunch, or post-museum reset. The company also roasts thoughtfully curated, ethically sourced coffee in small batches, which tracks with how carefully everything tastes. 

A rare family stop that actually works for everyone: good coffee for adults, real food for kids, and no unnecessary chaos.“

“muy buen café y ambiente“

“Really cool cafe! The decor is really cool, loved it a lot. Service was great, everyone is so kind and patient with explaining anything if you have questions. I got the iced banana latte, and it was described to me as a milkshake with coffee - I would totally agree, it was delicious! I definitely recommend this place.“

“Definitely a great tasting coffee. It really packs a punch.“

“Great vanilla latte and awesome, dim-lit, cozy room in the back with solid Wifi to bring a laptop and work! Seat available on a Sunday morning which is not a given. Definitely recommend for those like me who love working at a coffee shop. Definitely dark though so good for my laptop but not sure about a paper book.“

“I’m a satisfied customer.“

“Great, inviting place! The Cold Brew Horchata was amazing!“

“Chill vibe, great coffee, and even better people. Just discovered this spot and already looking forward to coming back. The vibe is super chill, the music is on point, and the staff is genuinely warm and welcoming. I had a salted caramel iced latte—subtle and well-balanced, exactly how I like it. Also grabbed a croissant square filled with Nutella (didn't catch the exact name, but honestly, you can't go wrong with Nutella). It was flaky, cute, and packed with chocolatey goodness in every bite. Excited to come back and try more from the menu!“

“Great coffee & pastries, cakes Delicious Greek food“

“Coffee addict visiting from Portland, Oregon. This sweet place was down the street from where we’re staying. I visited just after opening and was greeted warmly by the owner. Got a drip coffee, an oat milk latte, a blueberry scone and a morning roll. Everything was delicious, and I left with a smile. I’ll be back!

Update: I went for my morning coffee every morning while in Brooklyn. The owner (Kent) was always unfailingly friendly. I can add the vegan banana nut muffin to the list of excellent baked goods I tasted. I also bought a bag of House Coffee Blend beans (roasted in-house) to remind me of those Brooklyn mornings. I’ll definitely be back once we’re visiting Brooklyn again.“

“My favorite white chocolate mocha + peaceful place to sit 🤍 the owner is such a sweet soul, and this is such a gem of a coffee shop!“

“Directions for semi trucks Off the 95 take 495 ( towards Lincoln tunnel !!!don't go in tunnel) take last exit to Hoboken steep down hill on to s marginal hwy take a right onto jfk Blvd take that down to 19th St and make a right ( before the Exxon gas station) once you take that right take the next left at the light down Willow Ave. Take that small overpass to 15th Street and make a right . Then take 15th St to Jefferson St which is another right turn to 16th Street which is a one way you will have to go backwards towards the docks. Ppl are nice clean building professional once you back into the dock you'll have to disconnect and hand over your license and park down the street“

“The best coffee I’ve ever had tbh. And I’ve become a bit of a coffee snob.
I usually get an oat cortado with oat milk.

Their treats are good as well.
WiFi is available with a receipt for up one or two hours.“
