50 Best Coffee Shops in Queens

“Every once in a while you find a place that makes you feel like a kid again in the most beautiful way. This place is one of those places. Everything is perfect. The food, the vibes, the people. My only complaint is that I had to leave and go home afterwards. The most wonderful little cafe you will come across.“

“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!“

“excellent coffee very nice place,very kind and professional staff !“

“I definitely recommend ! Perfect spot to hangout with family and friends ! Thank you abhi for a very fun weekend“

“I love everything in this cafe, the absolutely great coffee and pastries, friendly service, except for its atmosphere, which was ruined by the constant pumping of AI generated fake jazz music. I really wish they would put in some thoughts on this. The nonstop aimless noodling of the AI piano is clearly not do not deserve this place.“

“A few years ago, I was hired to write a series of articles about regional Italian cuisine. Since then, I have been looking for traditional Italian gelato. Until yesterday, I have been consistently disappointed. But this? It was absolutely EVERYTHING I had dreamed about. The prices weren't ridiculous, the bathroom was PRISTINE, the staff were helpful and friendly and it was incredibly, amazingly delicious. My only complaint is that I live too far away from your stores to get it very often. But about that? My hips are less upset about the distance. :) I will definitely be back, though!“

“Great local spot. Plenty of seats and restrooms available. Many drinks on the menu and its good. However, they low on the food options. Wish they offered more than very limited baked option and puddings. Service is always great and everyone is nice. I love this place.“

“Great coffee spot. I'm visiting Briarwood for the first time in a few years and wasn't expecting to find a coffee place here in the first place - awesome!

it's a chill place, great for reading a book or doing some light remote work.“

“I love Cafe sparrow! The minute I walked in the barista was very welcoming and super helpful. She offered many drink recommendations as I was indecisive. I settled with a strawberry matcha 🍵 which was so good and a nice warm toasted bagel with cream cheese. Overall I enjoyed my experience here, definitely recommend if you’re looking for good customer service and a nice quiet spot to sit and relax.“

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

“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 🫶🏼🫶🏼“

“Great coffee spot. Love their mocha with oat milk. Pastries are also delicious. Friendly people. Love how they explain the pastries and ingredients in it so you know what you're getting.“

“I was in the mood to try something new when I came across this coffee shop, and I am sooo glad I came here because everything was amazing! I got the Nutella latte and the avocado toast which were both phenomenal. The latte wasn’t bitter at all and had just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess. The avocado
toast had a red chili olive oil combo which was new to me, but it completely elevated the dish and left me pleasantly surprised. The place is very cozy inside with only a couple seats available but they also have some outdoor tables as well. The employees were very friendly and welcoming, and I’m already looking forward to coming back! 10/10 :)“

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

“We (Bae, Brody & I) love Grey's Cafe! Highlights are the delicious Lattes, the friendly and always welcoming with a smile, service. Bonus points for the various fun places to sit around the coffee shop. Inside and out. The vibe is very studious. E.g., Smart people there studying science and anatomy. I get a lot of work done when there.
*Need to mention the holiday decorations.“

“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!“

“We recently hired Royal Delight Catering for our company event and everything was perfect from start to finish. Peter gave us the best price and worked closely with us to match the setup exactly as we envisioned. The food was absolutely delicious our guests couldn’t stop talking about it!
What impressed me most was that Peter personally came to the venue to make sure every detail looked great and that we were happy. I’m so glad we chose Royal Delight Catering; they made our event stress-free and memorable. Highly recommend!

“One of the highly recommended place to hangout and enjoy delicious stuffs. Special mention to Bibek such a well behaved well spoken person, he adds on such a great vibe to the place.“

“The best Algerian restaurant in NYC, no doubt 🥰“

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

“You must check out this coffee roaster in Astoria! They have a variety of coffees available so you are sure to find one you like. If you want a little treat they offer a variety of pastries including gluten free and vegan options which is a huge plus. On Mondays at 10:30 am they do weekly coffee cuppings that are open to the public. Be sure to give coffee cupping a try, it's fun to taste different beans and talk with others about what you're tasting.“

“BEST Latte I have ever had!!! ☕️“

“A perfect no-frills eatery for a quick bite. The menu is not huge, but it has all the diner staples and a wide range of non-pork breakfast meat options. Food is prepared fresh on the spot and service was very efficient. Highly recommend the hash browns—incredibly crispy, well-seasoned, and comforting. Wonderfully cozy spot, I know I’ll be coming back real soon!“

“What a beautiful and peaceful café! The space is spacious, the music is calming, and it’s the perfect spot to catch up with a friend or get some work done. Shazy was so welcoming and kind, which made the experience even better. The coffee was delicious. I can’t wait to come back and try the food!“

“Buen café y gran sabor del bagel tostado.“

“i hardly ever leave reviews, but i felt inclined after ordered from bennys tonight. i am a first gen cuban and this place really hit the spot. they went the extra mile to include their version of moros which i asked for even though it wasn’t on the menu. love places like this, love even more to support a CUBAN small business. Thank you!!“

“I’m a satisfied customer.“

“This is a great coffee shop for studying, tho if you really need to concentrate, I'd recommend bringing headphones. While the food is a bit pricier, the ambiance is fantastic! They have all sorts of chairs to choose from, plenty of cushions, and even adjustable standing desks, which makes it very comfortable.

If the owners happen to see this, I'd suggest replacing one specific table that has some peeling veneer 😭 it just doesn't look very good. Otherwise, everything else is lovely. Their restrooms are also very clean, and there are even two mirrors inside to admire yourself! ❤️Throughout the afternoon, I saw many people comfortably studying, working, and chatting here. Thx to the wifi service 🥳“

“Early morning flights not fun. Wanted healthier breakfast and was surprised Juniors at LGA, T2 had yogurt parfaits. It was fine (crunchier granola would be nice), but what made it all the better was staff member Carlos who welcomed me with a smile and courtesy that I think hard to muster so early in the morning! Thanks for the kindness and starting my trip off well.“

“We’ve lived in the area for some time and finally decided to try this coffee shop. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming! Very clean with great music and the menu has everything a coffee shop should have, with many flavor options for hot or iced beverages. Delicious signature croissant and loved chatting with Maria who is a sweetheart. We will definitely be coming back regularly!“

“Literally the best place ever. Me and my friends always come here after our law program to get food and hang out. The workers here are so great and welcoming. The music isn’t loud, the workers are so sweet, and this place is totally something I would recommend to people.“

“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 in the neighborhood!“

“An exceptional choice for coffee, drinkers local to this establishment I strongly suggest you pay them a visit and try their different varieties of cultivating coffee, brewed fresh and delicious foods available during their normal operating hours. The place is above par highly recommended on all platforms“

“First time coming here. I love the vibe. Very relaxing. I had the Luna sandwhich with an ice latte. Very delicious. Very friendly. There is not bathroom but not all places provide it to customers which is understandable. Overall great experience!!“

“It's a really cute place...small...intimate...but I feel like it could use a facelift. It's pretty much been the same look for 10 years now. It would also be nice if they introduced some new food offerings. Also, more recently, their coffee has often tasted 'burnt'.“

“Εξαιρετικός καφές, προσεγμένη ποιότητα, με ενδιαφέρον για τον πελάτη.“

“Bright and early in the morning Nyla was a ray of sunshine on this gloomy day. She took her time explaining the menu options. Walked us thru the process. Put so much love into our donuts and treated us like long time friends. Felt like hanging out in your best friend’s kitchen instead of picking up donuts at a shop. I will definitely be back!!“

“I really liked this place! The vibe of the cafe was so nice and I really loved how I felt this space’s community! When I went the owner and his friends were watching football on a projector, and it felt like a nice communal space for the community!

The drinks were decent, I liked the tumerica latte because it was something I had never had before.

The owner was very nice and I really liked all the furnishings and decor, especially the light fixture and the tables. The art was also very nice to look at!“

“the best bakery in queens and Manhattan. everything there is fresh and tasty. I will visit again and again.“

“love this place so much! have been going here for a few years and every time I go everything is so good :)“

“I ordered the chopped cheese at Bagel Chef, and it did not disappoint! The service was excellent—very attentive and welcoming. The staff really go above and beyond to make sure customers have the best experience possible. There’s also a wide variety of choices to eat and drink, so there’s something for everyone. With the combination of delicious food, great service, and friendly workers, this will definitely be my go-to spot from now on.“

“Absolutely a hidden gem! The meat is juicy and flavorful. Really hit the spot. It’s hard to believe we have authentic Mexican cuisine in east queens. But this place hits. We will definitely come back

Huge bonus to the service and free tortillas chips & salsa

There special items on weekends such as Taco de oreja and Taco de lengua“

“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.“

“buen cerbicio Buena comida las cemitas muy ricas“

“My partner and I love getting sandwiches from here for lunch! They have a perfect amount of options and they all slap! But our favs are The Genovese and Polpette(meatball) sandwiches. We can’t recommend enough if you want an Italian sandwich. As well their desserts and pastries are yummy too.“

“The new Pumpkin Basque Mochi Black Sesame Cake is absolutely incredible! The creamy pumpkin basque, the chewy mochi layer, and the rich nutty black sesame come together perfectly. It’s unique, balanced, and so satisfying without being overly sweet. One of the most creative and delicious cakes I’ve ever had—highly recommend!“

“Friendly staff, coffee is delicious! Can’t wait to try more from the menu. Welcome Coffee Ave!“
