42 Best Coffee Shops in Queens

“Stopped in for a cold juice while out for a walk. It was a nice experience and we loved our juices but what makes this place special is the owner Maria. She made us feel so welcomed and treated us as if we were her family. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Please go support a local business!“

“Updated review: The owner called and messaged me to apologize. He even offered to make it right which i greatly appreciate.

Food and coffee is good here. Spot is cute but they need more people dedicated to the counter or tables. One person shouldn’t be in charge of both. I always end up waiting.“

“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!“

“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. 💕☕“

“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.“

“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!

“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!“

“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.“

“It's 2026 and you get a great super filling breakfast at a price you cannot imagine!
Toast, 2 good size hash browns and 2 eggs just for $6! Big coffee mug just for $2.
Great vintage ambience and warm staffs. You guys are amazing and wish you all the great things!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“We had a wonderful experience hosting our running group event at Arya Café. Everything was handled professionally and smoothly from start to finish — exactly how it needed to be for a large group.

The food was delicious, the service was organized and welcoming, and our huge group of runners left truly satisfied and happy.

Thank you to the Arya Café team for the great cooperation and for helping make the event such a success. We’re looking forward to coming back and working together again in the future!

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“The best in the neighborhood!“

“I really like this place when it comes to doing work, it’s very cozy and the atmosphere is welcoming. I love their coffees but the one that has my heart is the dalgona coffee it’s not too sweet or too strong, just perfect and the pieces of dalgona make it tastier“

“My family and I love this place. Food is delicious, customer service is phenomenal! They go above and beyond to make their customers happy and to feel welcomed when you come into the store and even when they deliver for you! Not to mention deliveries are fast and reliable. A must try place!“

“An absolute amazing well made barista espresso based coffee, this is one of the best coffees I’ve had whilst in the US - flavoursome, smooth yet strong (I have 2% standard milk & loved it). It’s a great room, friendly staff; gorgeous to see both locals and tourists/travellers supporting the family run businesses in the surrounding streets.“

“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.“

“I was there this morning and the girl working was awesome. We waited a little but that was fine. Donuts are always the best. Truly worth it. Sometimes small businesses struggle with staffing and it was evident they had a call out or something today with the holidays. Still love this place!!“

“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“

“What a special patissserie and boulangerie ! Every variety of French pastry, sandwich and bread is the finest you can buy anywhere. Their coffe beverages are also excellent. The multigrain loaf disappears quickly with loads of butter. Yum !“

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

“Es el mejor café que me e tomado no lo cambió por nada ♥️☕️“

“Love them cookies 🍪 the best“

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

“I don’t drink coffee, however this coffee is Amazing!! Strong bold taste yet so smooth not bitter at all! There’s more here than just a cup of coffee!“

“The store has a beautiful concept and the drinks are soooo good!!“

“Good food not gonna lie and even tho it's a small store it does serve a wide variety of foods from chicken and pork to salad,rice, and dessert. They also serve breakfast with is nice when your hungry. And best part if you can see the food and how they look before you order it just in case you don't like what you see. In the end I rate it 5 stars“

“Ok, so photo don't look good because I had to dig in quick during a hot summer day. I don't like sweets in general, but DAMN!!!, the blueberry lemon basil is really good. The Oreo, chocolate and nocciola flavors are on point. Will be coming back for sure.“

“Really good bagels with a shmear... great coffee! Countermen first rate.“

“Excellent customer service and greatly enjoyed the delicious tacos. Keep it up!!“

“�First time tried Spicy fried squid ball. So in love with it. Bubble tea... All time favorite..“

“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!“

“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.“

“Absolutely outstanding ice cream! Nice inside, plenty of space and the cakes and chocolates looked lovely, too.“

““I always enjoy visiting in this store! The coffee is consistently great, and the donuts are fresh and delicious. Their service is fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy for a quick snack or a coffee break. My favorite is their iced coffee paired with a classic glazed donut. Highly recommend for coffee lovers!”

the manager ( Tahmina ) of this store is very friendly she serve me as cup of coffee with smile, which is I like very much.“
