“Amazing food and the service was great and attentive! Had a cappuccino with oat milk and a breakfast plate with avocado toast and French toast to share. Very flavorful meal and the espresso was amazing.

“Abbiamo frequentato il Santa Chiara Café durante la nostra vacanza a Manhattan. Conosciuto per caso è diventato la nostra tappa preferita per la colazione e non solo. Locale raffinato, pulito ed elegante, in pieno stile italiano con vista mozzafiato sullo skyline. Personale educato simpatico e competente. Cibo e bevande di una qualità top a prezzi moderati. Ma vogliamo raccontarvi di più. Al Santa Chiara Caffè tra i nostri preferiti: cornetti, crostate e piccola pasticceria…davvero eccellenti. Gelati artigianali cremosi e gustosi. Nulla è lasciato al caso, anche i nostri amici a quattro zampe erano super felici di fare colazione con i bellissimi biscottini per animali. Una menzione particolare per Enzo best omelettist in town. Last but not least, il proprietario Cristiano, gentile, educato, professionale, simpatico e generoso. Un posto da non perdere, infatti non vediamo l’ora di tornare…aspettateci! ****** English We bumped into Santa Chiara Cafe by chance and after it became our favourite place for breakfast but not only…it is clean and elegant in classic italian style with a great view towards the Manhattan skyline. The staff is nice, polite and very skilled. Food and drinks are top quality with modest price. However, we want to tell you more; favourite food, among the others, are croissants, tart and all the deliciuos small cakes. Not to mention the excellent homemade ice creams. Nothing is left to chance, also our pet friends were super happy to taste the eccellent cookies. Special mention to Enzo who makes the best omelette in town. Last but not least, the owner Cristiano: polite, kind, nice, professional and very generous. Highly reccomended place, not to be missed, we are looking forward to go back again…wait for us!“

“Coffee, hot chocolate, muffins! The experience!“

“Best wings ever, and we've eaten a LOT of wings! Thai chili wings were perfect; sweet and spicy, BIG and juicy. Elli and Fernando are great. Highly recommend!“

“A hidden gem of a little café that feels like home the moment you walk in. Everything is made from scratch using fresh, organic ingredients, and you can truly taste the care in every bite. The lovely owner who runs the place pours so much love into her cooking, it’s food that comforts your soul as much as it feeds you. A simple, beautiful spot that reminds you how special homemade food can b. Highly recommended!“

“Amazing Food overall ! I had the berry blast smoothie which was a 10/10 & The tuna melt sandwhich which was also a 10/10. Ill definately be back to try more as im on a wellness journey & Quality/healthier options are my go to. Thanks so much for your service daily dose 🙏🏾❤️“

“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!“

“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!!“

“This establishment is truly exceptional. The family who runs it is wonderful, and their customer service is outstanding. They consistently treat me with great warmth and kindness. I have a deep affection for them and their food. I initially discovered them through Too Good To Go. Their offerings are consistently fresh, of high quality, and possess an amazing taste.“

“good food options in a nice place“

“Had the BEC Pizza and ordered a Sapphire Martini ( they were out of Bombay) so ordered a Pinot Noir instead. Was a tad light.
The Pizza however was unexpected and delicious. Crust was good and while not quite a 12 inch pizza not bad.
The service was actually the best part of the dining experience. My waiter and the back waiter were really great. The hostess was also super cordial and made me feel welcomed.
Overall my first but not my last trip here.“

“Tasty Soufflé, cold Brew coffee and green tea“

“First time trying out , after seeing such great reviews and delicious pictures of the food, I was excited . I played it safe and got a BEC with avocado & it was sooo good! There was love in that sandwich and I tasted it . Super sweet and welcoming ladies , I can’t wait to go back and try something new“

“Amazing service and food. Must try!“

“the place is very spacious itself with lots of seating and at night it starts to get crowded so be aware of needing to wait a while. other than that the food and drinks are really good, the jasmine love a lot bear and it is, i the pancake is a must get!!“

“Been here a few times. Usually come here for their vegetable omelette platter which include mushroom and peppers home fries , Israeli salad and whole wheat bagel. Healthy breakfast options available for reasonable pricing. Can get a little busy so if you order ahead might be better.“

“GREAT COFFEE I never could find a place that makes coffee like I do at home. Concept Coffe said “don’t worry, you’ll like it” and I LOVED it. Thank you!“

“Delicious desserts and great coffee!“

“Excellent service all was delicious“

“Guys, you HAVE to check this bakery. It feels like home, cozy and they have 109787 de goods to pick. The lady who took my order was extremely nice, we also talked about random stuff, about life, she was so so kind and sweet Omg. I forgot her name but she has like orangish or yellish with black hair color, so pretty btw!!! Omg, thanks guys!“

“An elegant café adorned with lush greenery that brightens the atmosphere, even in the heart of winter🌿

The thoughtfully curated and diverse menu ensures there is always something new to enjoy, making each visit feel fresh. The staff provides warm and attentive service, and the buzzer system allows for a seamless and comfortable experience while waiting.

The brunch is exceptional✨️—beautifully prepared and absolutely delightful—making it the perfect place to begin your day on a high note. Highly recommended.“

“A very beautiful space with cozy sofas, interior and light. The food wasn’t something crazy about: we took potatoes, parsnip soup, and tiramisu latte, they were okay. The place by itself was a little bit dirty on the floor, and some details, as a server that didn’t know that tiramisu includes alcohol in a recipe, and the fact that the same coffee was served in different cups, brought a feeling of mess, however I want to come back for lazy mornings atmosphere.
We parked right near the main entrance, however it’s under construction zone now.“

“As a local, I truly consider this coffee shop one of the sweetest gems in our community. I recently had a little Galentine’s get-together here, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The family who runs it is incredibly kind and accommodating.

The coffee shop is decorated so pretty. We loved everything we tried, but the cookie butter latte and banana oat latte were definite favorites! The food was also good!

Great prices, cozy atmosphere, and such a friendly vibe — this will absolutely continue to be my go-to spot. 💕☕“

“Everything I’ve tried here has been delicious. The ham and cheese croissant was amazing even cold. The chocolate chip cookie had the perfect salty-sweet balance. I don’t even like blueberries, but their blueberry bun with cream cheese frosting was so good I had to pause. The blondie was soft and rich and just right.

It’s really hard to find a bakery where everything hits. This place does. You can tell there’s real care in the food. This isn’t just baking to bake, there’s love in it.“

“Randomly bicycling around and eyes fell upon here since rest of the shops hasn't opened up yet in the morning, looks like this recently setup shop as I didn't see it here few months ago. They say first impressions are the best.

Edit: looks like it's been here for a while now, welp never took notice before until today. Hopefully, its not zio-supporter like the name brand DD coffee franchise across from them who are in fact big genocide Seinfeld supporters and sadly are on the BDS list & because there are plenty of thoroughly brainwashed anti-muslim zio supporters all around here.. If you know, you know.

Makes you wonder after every sip, who hasn't been compromised yet? Who's not sucking up to Seinfeld? It is just a matter of time isn't it? They eventually get all of us without us even realizing it.

How did they all know? It only got worse. Everything we used to hear, the murmurs, the chatters, thought that they were just crazy talk, exaggerations and nonsense and now look, its all now right out in the open, right before our very eyes. They were right all along, we been under foreign occupation of the worst kind ever imaginable and it was right under all our noses, and it shrouded itself with the cross, American flag and blind patriotism...it even comes with a neat little yellow ribbon too..a pension, a college fund, green card, visa, an express lane through the friggin airport security, etc..

All I wanted was a Bebsi...

And a nice quiet place to sit, relax and enjoy a cup of coffee and a piece of bakery without my patronage supporting the mass murder of Palestinian civilians that are defending their own homeland like the Boston Tea Party. How are people so calm, how are they not hyperventilating?

Aside from these ruminations, this little pasterie shop is literally right across the street from Al-Imaan masjid so you know this is gonna be poppin' from early morning til late at night, at least, it has the potential to be.

Before I even got here, it looks like there were already large group of musalees quietly sitting together and enjoying morning cup of coffee and pastries right outside the store front.

Anna-lisa sparkling eyes greeted me, high energy like she just got out the gym. She is running the counter and is holding down everything outside, she's doing a terrific job, definitely show her love, tip jar is in the front.

Not sure if it's all zabhiha halal items, specifically the sandwiches but if it were, I bet it would be a huuge plus. I was told by a Greek patron here that the owner might already cater to it but I'm not sure, no sign anywhere, maybe because it might look tacky and mess with the feng shui of the place, you know? Besides, owner might have been the guy in the back, he looked busy and I felt shy to ask so I decided to go with chocolate croissant and latte. They didn't disappoint.

Plenty of seatings, clean, good service. And nice table manners, thank you very much.“

“The brown butter banana latte is good! Everything was combined nicely and the drink itself was perfectly sweet. The banana taste came in more subtly. I felt I initially taste the brown butter before the banana aftertaste comes through. The cafe itself is really cute and there’s some tables for seating. We also tried the carrot cake which was delicious and the cream cheese frosting was great.“

“This is our local coffee shop, and my husband and I loved it. Workers and owner are so nice, the chai from there is my favorite!! The first time we went I got a chicken buffalo sandwich, and my husband got a tuna sandwich. Ever since we have tried other items in the menu, the crepes are so so good, and we really recommend this place 🫶🏼🫶🏼“

“Everyone was friendly and casual. The waitress and owner took time to speak with us. The Margherita pizza and meatballs appetizer were good. The tomato sauce was excellent.“

“Excelente servicio y comida . En pocas palabras una experiencia distinta“

“The cafe is open 24 hours and it’s a pretty nice place to do work. Not sure if they have WiFi but other than that, the drinks and bread are decently priced and pretty good.

The employees are really nice but their English isn’t the best.“

“The best burger ever! Service impeccable!! I would recommend to everyone!!“

“I liked it! I got some as a gift so I didn’t visit the actual store. All time favorite thing here was the strawberry pastry (if the business replies; please just say the name of that one) SO good. I would come back for that. Fantastic. Fluffy and light and airy with a perfectly sweetened cream fluff inside. Wow.
Corn cheese bread was sooo fun. If it’s served warm; I bet you it’s fantastic but I did eat it a couple of hours after it was ordered.
The fig bread had an amazing texture to it. Light and fluffy like Portuguese bread (I did personally wish the figs were cut smaller to enjoy more evenly but that’s personal preference)
The variety of stuff was really fun! Some things I did not like at all but my friends did so that was just personal preference.“

“Un pedacito de Honduras en Jamaica Queens. Que Felicia de comida!“

“my iced dalgona latte was alright, not the best espresso not the worst. the delicious breakfast platter made up for it though, and it is pricey, but SO worth it. not pictured but i also got an ube milk tea, which was great and very flavorful. the cafe itself is very beautiful and comfy, i was here with my friends for hours. staff is nice and helpful :) this place is a must-visit for breakfast lovers!!“
