50 Best Coffee Shops near Malverne

“A Hidden Gem That Feels Like Home

I stumbled across this small Greek coffee shop a few weeks ago, and since then, it’s become part of my daily routine. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted like family. The staff is incredibly friendly—they not only remember your name, but they also remember your order, which adds such a personal touch that’s hard to find anywhere else.

The space is spotless—immaculately clean and always tidy. It’s clear they take pride in every detail. There are often delicious samples out to try, and every one I’ve tasted has been outstanding. Whether it’s a traditional Greek pastry or something new they’re testing, it’s always fresh and flavorful.

This place has quickly become a comforting part of my day. It’s more than just a coffee shop—it’s a warm, welcoming little haven. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!“

“I have been frequenting the Kookaburra Malverne location on and off for several years. The only downside is they close a bit early for my schedule and they only take cash. Other than that, this location is full of phenomenal humans. The customer service is unparalleled. Every single time that I can remember there that’s been a superb interaction with the baristas and the clientele. Today one is the baristas wishes a client Happy Birthday anniversary wishes and the client was so moved. Heck, I was moved. A couple of months ago I was here and heard a client place an order and received the order and said it wasn’t what she ordered. In many cases folks would get annoyed as they made what the client requested, but the barista was so kind and professional, but mostly so kind and understanding and she remade the clients order and offered the “mistaken” beverage for the client to take at no charge. It was such a great moment to witness. The energy in here is quite welcoming and positive. Our furry babies are welcome and everyone is treated with respect and kindness.

When our PTSA requested a donation for our Supermarket Bingo they didn’t hesitate for a second. 🙏🏽

I highly recommend the Malverne Kookaburra Coffee Company.“

“Jin is extremely helpful. Have any questions, he has the answers. Place is immaculate. Cozy relaxing atmosphere.“

“I just found this gem recently and have been hooked! The staff is so friendly and the coffee is amazing! I travel there about 15-20 minutes out of my way just to get my coffee, that’s how great it is! Can’t recommend Buzz’d enough!!!“

“I’ve been working near by all week , and this coffee shop was a Gem in the middle of queens lol matcha drinks were perfect but I loved the cold brew the best , Great staff !!! I’m not sure if I’ll ever be in the cross-section of bayside/flushing/ auburndale ? lol any way I digress , great place to grab a beverage, send an email plus the pups are cute“

“Just have to give a quick shoutout to Hard Bean on Merrick Ave. Victor and his wife Elise opened 10 days ago just north of the train station. My fiancé and I were talking to the owners and learned that opening a coffee shop was Victor’s dream. After working at his previous career for almost 30 years, he retired and opened this place. It’s charming inside and the coffee is delicious and less expensive than *$s. They are literally a mom and pop shop and after spending some time there I wanted to post to support and recommend Hard Bean to all the locals.“

“Truly the best spot in Long Island for bubble tea. Superior drinks and customer service. Don't sleep on the coffee either!“

“很舒服的一個空間🤍點餐機制只需要手機操作非常方便😌“

“Excellent cafe with tons of space, great drinks/food and friendly service. Sometimes they fall into the same trap as other cafes in Flushing though, and play the same few songs on repeat for hours. Last time I was here they played the same small 60’s playlist for 8hrs straight. No exaggeration. Get ready to hear “Build Me Up Buttercup” 25 times. So bring headphones if you plan on staying a while.

Heads up to management too, the bathroom here is consistently a mess. The garbage can foot lever is broken so apparently everyone is just throwing paper towels on the ground. A new garbage can would remedy this.“

“The vibe here is just right—cozy but not cramped, with a warm, inviting feel. The coffee is top-notch, brewed to perfection, and the pastries are fresh and delicious. Staff are friendly and attentive, making the whole experience seamless. It’s the kind of spot where you can unwind or get some work done without feeling rushed. Perfect for coffee lovers looking for a relaxed yet polished environ“

“What a lovely atmosphere! Between the velvet sofas and antique coffee tables, such a darling place to unwind and relax. The tiramisu was amazing! Highly recommend!“

“It’s the best coffee place on Long Island. The food and service is excellent and Nico’s monthly open mic is a fantastic event for both customers and musicians.“

“Found this place when looking for a new cozy coffee spot. My boyfriend lives in Flushing so this was close enough for us to drive to, and the crepes looked so good. We came in on a cold snowy day, and immediately felt the warmth of fresh coffee and sweet fluffy crepes. We also got a croissant sandwich which was one of our favorite breakfast foods lately. The owner, George, was so friendly, and we spent a while just chatting to him about shared interests and family life.If you’re looking for a welcoming place to enjoy some great food, yummy coffee, and where you’re supporting a small business instead of a corporation, Maillard is for you. Worth the drive even from Long Island. We’ll be back soon!“

“Kind and knowledgeable owner! The coffee is good and the strawberry scones are great!“

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

“This coffee shop is located in Little Neck, Queens. It is like a local rest area in a place where there are no other places to rest.
The coffee tastes good and the atmosphere is nice. It is mainly used by young people, but the customer base is diverse.“

“Great food, very quick service and reasonably priced.“

“It’s a good place to chill.
You can have a sip of coffee, with their famous French Toast (my trick is to add strips of bacon as the sides! The brioche is just so buttery and soft! It goes so well in a sweet and savoury tone, yummmm!) or to enjoy a drink, a beer or some wines with friends there.

Iced latte and Flat White are always my favourites. Their scones are amazing indeed, especially the Blueberry white chocolate one! It’s an evil combo and simply too good to share with others!

I have been visiting on a monthly basis and Nicole is such a nice lady. She remembers me and what I like ❤️ I’m feel warmed and welcomed. Thank you for the wonderful experience overall !“

“Ambiente agradável… Serviço excelente !!! Deliciosos crepes… Cappuccino com nutella… Amazing 😻 Super recomendo !!! 🇧🇷 to 🇺🇸“

“The drinks and ambiance are awesome! The Nutella Latte is the absolute best!“

“My favorite place this yeaaaarr. I love love love this place!! Their hot ‘n cold foods, their Madelines esp the creme brulee one???? and their coffees are soooo good!!! (Super strong but just the way i like it :3)
But other than their food their customer service is outstanding! I don’t know her name but she makes my mornings everyday so I head to work happy 😂
Thank you so much and i’ll be bringing myself and my friends all the time lol!“

“The best coffee baristas I love RS BEANERY!!! If your having an awful day just come there and you’ll be cheered up by the wonderful staff!!!! Can’t recommend RSB ENOUGH!!!!!“

“Nice ambiance…and I love the honey lemon tea❤️“

“Took two trips here on the same day to sample something for brunch and for lunch. For starters, the place is pretty big despite how the place looks from the entrance. The people working behind the counter were pretty cool, service was on point. For breakfast I had the Nutella Custard Croffle and a can of Celsius. The croffle was delightful for sure, pleasing to the taste buds though one small complaint...I don't think croffles are a good base for any sandwich because it was messy eating that, the croffle was kinda all over the place eating it.

Came back here for lunch after a few hours in the gym to order a Mocha Haze Power Smoothie and a Smoked Turkey Croffle. Croffle sandwiches here are delicious as a whole but they are very unstable and can leave a mess so as a note, ALWAYS ask for extra napkins. The smoothie was very good and filling too. I could see myself coming around here a couple more times, trying out as much of their expansive menu as I possibly could.“

“One of the best places to get a bite to eat and get a coffee! They have açaí bowls, Korean corn dogs, and more! Such an amazing place and did I mention it’s KOSHER!!!!“

“great coffee. Michele is a warm and gracious barista.“

“Thank you for the most delicious bday cake on 4/13/25!“

“Delicious food, great service, friendly atmosphere, free parking…“

“Just went to Greek City Grille and ordered the chicken souvlaki platter with lemon potatoes. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and the lemon potatoes were absolutely amazing. The staff was extremely friendly and the place was so clean and decorated beautifully. Will definitely be coming back!“

“Best tea you will ever try 😋 and the most amazing staff“

“Amazing coffee and pastries !! And the staff is tremendous !! Love this place !!!“

“Great service and mega delicious coffee and pastries 👌 Highly recommendable!“

“We had such a delightful brunch this morning. The service and food were both fabulous!“

“I have tried bingsoo around the Bayside area and this place has the best bingsoo by far hands down. I don’t go anywhere else for bingsoo.

Ambiance: super cute! Be prepared to be transported to a little cafe you would think you’re in a city in Europe. Very Parisian. Cozy. Chic. Great place to catch up with a friend.

Baked goods are fresh and in-house made!“

“I came here with my friends and the place was so cozy and cute! The food was delicious, I recommend 10/10!
Things we ordered:

Cream waffle w/ Nutella 9/10( I'll ask for less cream but it was still very good!!)
Ham & cheese sandwich 10/10
Croissant 10/10
Lychee black tea 10/10
Earl grey tea 10/10
Mango black tea 10/10“

“I’ve been to every local coffee shop you could think of within the radius of Oceanside to Long Beach. Without doubt this is THE best local coffee shop in the area. Small, quaint little hole in the wall type of shop next to the Oceanside train station that puts out THE best coffee and baked goods. The Pistachio Tiramisu was a total knock out, so so so so good. The owner Vish has to be one of the nicest people I’ve met as well. A hands on owner you can find behind the counter whipping up coffees or out on the patio engaging with his guests. Very nice spot I highly recommend coming here. Their cold brew is the best.“

“Phenomenal donuts and phenomenal customer service. Phillip really helped us decide what donuts to pick from and they were all delicious! Definitely coming back again for more donuts and as an added plus it was all Halal so it truly made it better“

“Debbie is the greatest Best place ever Best food!“

“its fast and reasonably priced rhe honefries are the best! Kevin is a nice guy ro talk to as well have him take your picture and it gets put up on the wall.“

“Great place for crazy cookie flavors, a little pricey and other than the everyday flavors the specialty flavors are more expensive. If you join their club you get a FREE cookie for your bday but only the daily flavors, specialty ones are not included and they should be, after all if it's your bday you should be able to pick what you like. Even though cookies are pricey they can be worth the try because I feel this is not a daily place but a nice treat once in a while.“

“Wonderful people/wonderful coffee!“

“At almost more than half the cafes I’ve visited, I usually order matcha and the matcha ends up tasting just like sugary milk. However, here you definitely wouldn’t regret getting matcha, it was delicious. The coffee too is amazing. The owner is super sweet making the cafe even more enjoyable to be at. Also, there’s free wifi so it’s a great place to study or get some work done as well. Overall a great cafe and strongly recommend checking it out!“

“Best tea you will ever try 😋 and the most amazing staff“

“Such detail and care put into the dishes and the design of the space.
Mushroom soup was perfect with a drizzle of olive oil.
Gnocchi was so fresh and satisfying.
Strawberry Hazelnut Crepe dessert was heaven on earth.
The architecture has a light Italian beach front feel and great energy.

Definitely dine here.“

“Great coffee and food, laid back atmosphere, friendly staff. Recommended.“

“Polo Ralph Lauren Clothes💯❤️🙏🏽“

“The food is absolutely delicious, and it is well priced in light of the good portion sizes. We ordered 3 soups, 1 of each kind that they offer. Wow, they were each *incredible* and we can’t wait to go back for more. We are very grateful that this restaurant exists and is in the neighborhood! We had been looking for authentic Mexican food in the area and it looks like we have found it!“

“My friend and I have been here twice, and you absolutely have to try their Baked Chicken Chop! It's super delicious, and the portion is huge for only ~$15. (Baked Chicken Chop, ketchup, and fried rice)

Other food are kinda bland tbh…“

“It was a wonderful experience , considering it is my first time. We had to wait a few minutes to get our table for 4 but that’s okay! The employees were super nice and went out of their way to pull and extra table for us. I loved the authentic atmosphere. The lighting, decor, and the overall feeling of the restaurant was great! And amazing food. My family loved what we ordered and the matcha cheesecake for dessert was so good! Compliments to the chef! I could definitely see myself coming back here again, whether alone or with family or friends. Well done, Nippon Cha!“
