29 Best Coffee Shops in Long Island City

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

“Deploy Coffee is a solid choice. The setup is clean and well-organized, and the barista is friendly and welcoming.

I ordered an oat milk cappuccino, which was made to perfection - great balance of flavors and a smooth texture. The coffee is clearly brewed with care.

Considering the quality, the price is very reasonable, especially for a cart setup.

Overall, I'm impressed with Deploy Coffee and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a well-made cup of coffee on-the-go. It’s located right outside the hunters point queens public library on Vernon LIC.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Overflow Coffee is easily one of the best coffee spots in New York. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place was built with intention—everything from the warm, inviting atmosphere to the attention to detail in the drinks and food makes it stand out.

The space itself is beautiful with tons of natural light through the windows, clean design, and just the right balance between cozy and modern. It’s the kind of place you can spend hours in, whether you’re catching up with a friend or getting work done. The environment is calm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed.

The coffee is top-tier. Smooth, well-balanced, and clearly crafted with care. Their lattes are especially good. So creamy, rich, and consistently excellent. Pair that with their fresh pastries, and you’ve got a perfect combination.

What really makes Overflow special though is the heart behind it. The staff is genuinely kind, the vibe is uplifting, and it feels like more than just a coffee shop. It feels like a place that brings people together.

If you’re in NYC, this is 100% worth a visit. Whether you’re a coffee lover, need a great place to work, or just want a space that feels good to be in—Overflow delivers.“

“Omg this place is just the best. Such kind people. Ordered there red eye/black eye and yes for me. Lemon poppy seed loaf is just perfection. Not overly sweet. You can taste the lemon and subtle taste of poppy just harmony in a loaf. Will come back for more.“

“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. ☕️“

“I stumbled onto this place yesterday. I just recently started working around the corner. I entered the coffee shop and I was instantly greeted by such a sweet lady. I ordered the Nutella monster but explained to her that I don’t want it too and she made it absolutely delicious. Tasty and not too sweet at all so I didn’t feel too guilty for bending my diet haha! I also bought an avocado toast with a side of bacon….ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! This morning, I went back….yup, I sure did. Today, I tried the hot Nutella latte (again, less sweet) and was perfect for me! I’m loving this place!! Thanks Sip A Cup!! :)“

“Birch on 7th Ave and 14th street is my fave spot to get my afternoon skinny flat white during our class break at Pratt. The crew there is always great and I love the tip jar questions. Hang in there dear Birch! Looking forward to seeing you all again when we’re through this.“

“I live in the neighborhood and have been coming here for 4 years now. This review is well over due. They are so friendly and speedy and it’s delicious. Coffee is good quality and they make the best breakfast sandwiches and tasty biscuits! If you’re ever in the neighborhood pop in for a quick grab and go you won’t be disappointed :)

Not to mention it’s family owned >>>“

“Coffee and food were very good. Still 5 stars even though they did mess up our order. We went ahead with what we got, because we were hungry and didn't want to wait for them to remake it. That would be my only concern, that both sandwiches we ordered, weren't correct.“

“Great taste and quality of the almond croissant and cappuccino, they started my morning just right! A discretion: the almond croissant is big and splittable with your patron.
The barista/front end provided friendly and pleasant service. Will revisit to try the banana Nutella bread. 😁“

“I ordered a lobster roll, mimosa, + salad from the brunch menu. While the serving was small considering the price, it was delicious. Staff was odd. They all (hostess, waitress, cafe bar) kind of lacked social skills. Not very warm and welcoming.“

“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!“

“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 .“

“The sandwich and salad we ordered were fresh and delicious. The iced coffee was perfectly brewed and tasted great too. Order ahead if yourbin a rush as everything is prepared fresh, so it takes a few minutes longer. Excellent place! I will stop again when I'm in the area!“

“This is hands down the best Starbucks in the neighborhood! They have the most professional staff who knows how to make a decent matcha (not a coffee drinker). I’ve seen how they arrange an efficient production line to process through the incredibly many customers with speed and grace. I love their matcha latte with oat milk, though the new flavors with berries and strawberries fall on the too sweet side (there are ways to adjust it). However, the recent membership and rewards system adjustments are making it less appealing and more expensive to all.“

“My husband and I had the most unforgettable experience at Cannelle Patisserie on Sunday, February 1. We brought in the gender results for our future baby, and from the moment we walked in, the staff treated our little secret with so much warmth, excitement, and genuine joy.

They were thrilled to be part of our surprise and went completely above and beyond—creating the yummiest box of pastries in the color of our baby’s gender for us to open later at home. They even included the sweetest handwritten note and, to our absolute delight, a precious little pink cake. (It was a girl! 💕)

The kindness, enthusiasm, and care they showed us turned a simple bakery visit into a once-in-a-lifetime memory. We will truly never forget how special they made us feel, or how magical and delicious our gender reveal was because of them.

Thank you to the amazing team at Cannelle Patisserie for being such a joyful part of our story—we’ll be back forever and recommending you to everyone we know!“

“Very nice and relaxing place to enjoy your coffee and pastries. Very friendly staff, especially Fernando.“

“I went in with my husband and was so disappointed to see the amount of people taking up tables with laptops. We went there to eat breakfast and were really excited to try the food and there was nowhere to sit, and these people weren't getting up anytime soon. They buy a single cup of coffee and take up tables for hours working remotely. In the summer it wouldn't be so bad but I didn't want to sit on the cold patio. Coffee was really good, bathroom was clean and nice.“

“I was here a couple weeks ago. Very welcoming and friendly. I came here by myself sat at the bar. The attention to detail was there, the bartender was great with information on Japanese whiskey and cocktails. The dessert was blew my tastes bud away.“

“I go to New York City once year: My co-workers and I take a group of theater students, we see 8 broadways shows, I get a *carrot cake donut* at the Doughnut Plant in Grand Central Station, and I’m a happy girl for one more year. I always have a good experience! I get my favorite, and then something new. Everything I’ve ever tried there has been phenomenal. (This time is was a coffee cake doughnut - it was inspired! SO good!) If Doughnut Plant moved its location to the moon, I’d probably just start taking my theater students there instead, just so I could get my yearly taste test at Doughnut Plant.“

“The specialty cookies are a nice addition. They have a nice variety of flavors and are a nice treat. Half a cookie is my limit usually so be forewarned. These cookies are huge.“

“Thank you Brooklyn Bagel for an amazing luncheon after my son’s Bar Mitzvah!! You were so easy to work with and everything was so good! I highly recommend your catering services!!“

“Five stars for Good Neighbor Queens in the Falchi Building. Best cold brew in the area. This place is a vibe and I love it.“

“Cute cafe with seasonal offerings of different drinks. The food has always been good there and the staff is SO NICE AND AMAZING. This fall 2025 they have this cute GHOST LATTE! it made me so happy! The staff put so much love and effort into this creation“

“Omg I just have one thing to say. I’m pregnant and came here for the first time today. I got a chocolate chip cookie thinking oh nice sweet treat. The cookie was so good I’ve had 4 total today. This is the best chocolate chip cookie I’ve had in my entire life and I can’t wait to stop by this weekend to pick up a ton to keep at home! Never had anything this good, thank you for making the best cookie ever!!!“

“I come here fairly often as it’s near my school and after years of going to this college have not had a single negative experience at this Starbucks. The drinks are always made perfectly and there are lots of food options! I love this location and heavily recommend it“

“Kid-friendliness: The environment is very clean. All the workers are really helpful & friendly. Kids gets along with other kids. No wonder why they have plenty of regular customers everyday. I’ll be coming more often for sure. Appreciate the A1 service guys??“

“I’ve known Spot for over 10 years, since their very first location on St. Marks. Over the years, they’ve expanded to more locations, including LIC and Flushing. Since the LIC location is close to where I live, I was genuinely excited when they opened in this area.

Their Green Tea Lava and Golden Toast have been amazing since day one and remain consistently great even now. Back then, the dessert was called Green Tea Lava Cake. It seems they later renamed it to Matcha Lava, likely to give it a more premium feel.

This time, I also tried one of their newer desserts an ube-based dish. It was okay and didn’t particularly stand out, but I do appreciate that they continue to update their menu seasonally and introduce new items.

Overall, it’s great to see the brand evolving while maintaining the quality of the classics that made it popular in the first place.“

“buen servicio y todo rapido“
