50 Best Cafes near Richmond Hill

“Manny the owner/cook has been here for a long time and I’ve been getting breakfast and lunch here for over 10 years. Well-made food at excellent prices. Place is a bit cramped and paper plates and plastic tableware but saves money not having to pay for a dishwasher, and that savings gets passed to the customer. Also literally steps from the subway entrance for extra convenience.“

“I like it here. It's a small bakery on the corner, and it's got a wide variety of pastries and treats to select from. The cupcakes I've tried so far haven't been up to par. The icing isn't sweet enough for my personal liking. I've tried the vanilla cone, and it was NOT vanilla coning. I will need to come back to try other options. The staff is kind, however, and the store interior is lovely and cozy.“

“My wife and I stumbled onto this location one day when passing through Queens. She just wanted to grab a quick cup of coffee, but what we got was so much better than expected. We had a “flat white” which was amazing high-quality coffee. And a piece of homemade baklava. I have to say this was hands-down, The absolute BEST baklava I’ve ever had in my life and if you’re a fan of this dessert, you absolutely need to go try it for yourself. I myself, have grown-up eating plenty of baklava. In my hometown, we have one of the highest Middle Eastern populations in the country so we have plenty of great baklava but I’ve still never had it this good. It was Perfect!✨ A large quantity, but not too filling, well-defined layers, very light & flaky but still moist, and just the right amount of nuts. when you bite into it, no part of the dessert gets lost or covered up. You can taste every element standing out with prominent flavor; from the freshness of the walnuts to the sweetness of the syrup and quality of the dough. After talking to the owner for a while, she explained to us how she bakes everything herself and how she refuses to buy her desserts from bakeries or skimp out on quality even if it makes her job easier. Let me tell you, it shows! I highly respect the integrity she brings to her baking and her café. She also gave us some cookies that were amazing as well.

Now let me tell you a bit about the owners of this establishment. They’re a dedicated hard working family from Montenegro and were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my travels. They were VERY kind warmhearted people who opened their business up to us as if it was their home and we were long time friends, stopping by for a visit. It was honestly surreal how comfortable they made us feel. We spoke for over an hour and enjoyed their beautifully designed and well kept Café/Bar. Whenever I go to a new location, I really pay close attention to how much the owners care about their business and the customers they serve. It is by far the most important criteria. With these owners, you can tell they really put their all into the business and it is truly a family affair. I loved how the husband and wife were both there working together and even their daughter pitches in. The daughter even drew this amazing Halloween picture on the board by the entrance and you can tell how proud her parents are of her skills. I truly admire the love and attention this family puts into their business, and I can confidently say they’re the American dream in action!🇺🇸 Please go pay these guys a visit I promise you won’t be disappointed. I know for us, It will be worth it to make the trip from New Jersey to visit again soon.“

“Cozy place with excellent atmosphere and wonderful and delicious food.

I tried the mix platter and it was amazing! Se fresh, natural and everything has it unique flavor.

At the and, a very well prepared alfogato was the great finally“

“this corner spot caught our eye at around 9 on a thursday with it’s red glow & cute sunken dining room that is visible from the street. the ambiance - warm and cozy. the service - quick and very personable. the bartender is awesome. the food & drink - perfect. got the spiked horchata drink n a birria res gordita, both amazing and still thinking about… ***the best fresh masa/tortillas pressed right before serving - all within view from the bar - dinner n a show. literally can’t say enough good things. excited to come back. :)“

“This cafe is so lovely. I had the pleasure of Desi and Aida assisting me with my order. They made the most delicious soy chai with amazing foam. Their desserts were amazing as well. It was refreshing to be greeted with such positive and friendly energy in New York. I can't wait to come back when I am in the area. Make sure to come to this cafe if you want a lovely experience and great food and drinks!“

“Live in the neighborhood and just tried this place out for the first time and it was fantastic. The baristas were super friendly and it had great ambience. I got the cold brew which was not that expensive relative to some other coffee shops, and was delicious.“

“the ambience is top notch,the food is delicious,the server adriana is so pleasant,courteous & knows her job well.The manager Sasha is hands on & ensuring everyone is comfortable.highly recommend the fois gras,the scallop souffle,the full lobster & crab for appetiser.“

“I love this place so much and it always hits the spot. It’s such a homey vibe and I’m always so impressed with how efficiently they can make food considering how small the open kitchen is. I’ve tried several things on the menu and they all slap. I love the effort that’s put into the presentation and you really can’t beat the price.

Most importantly i love that the kitchen is like 3 tias - it tugs my heart strings“

“Food was good and friendly customer service. I will recommend everyone this place.“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“The best in the neighborhood!“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“After hearing great things about Land to Sea, we made the trip all the way from Long Island City—with our foster dog Mission in tow! The staff were so kind and even offered him ice water on a hot morning, which we really appreciated. We sat outside and were grateful for the shaded seating.

I had the roast pork bun and coconut bun—both were absolutely delicious! Perfectly chewy, moist, and full of authentic flavor.

Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!

“Stumbled upon this gem with some friends. To my delight, this place is fantastic.

I got the strawberry gelato and decaf cappuccino, though i tried my friends’ vanilla gelato and starberry milkshake. All were superb. I was not expecting such high quality.

I am an ice cream and milkshake enthusiast — and this would rate as one of the best.

The owner is also very sweet.

10/10!“

“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.“

“Really happy to find that place! Great real coffee and very friendly staff.“

“enjoyed my Sunday morning with relishing brunch!“

“Service is very friendly and prompt. Atmosphere is very airy and bright. They have a wide selection of great pastries, breakfast and light lunches.“

“super sweet staff and great lattes! while I hung out to do work, I noticed everyone behind the counter was friendly and chatted with literally everyone who came in. great vibes, comfy seating for hanging for a bit. would love to gatekeep this place to keep it chill and quiet, but they deserve the review more! highly recommend ♥️“

“mi piace tanto il vostro posto,e veramente un piccolo parte della nostra Italia mandato qui a new York, grazie ragazzi 👌🥂“

“I live right down the block, and Tenz is hands down my favorite coffee. First off the owner is so friendly and remembered my order w in 2 times of going, and it’s always delicious. But beyond that it’s the most affordable coffee I’ve come across and a bonus somehow they are always playing bangers. Try them out you will not be disappointed!“

“Came in for after dinner SWEET GOODNESS and boy, were they ON POINT! Waffle N Sip did not dissappoint. And I had the advantage of watching the staff make the strawberry waffle and I was so delighted! Such dedication and effort you can SEE AND TASTE. We'll definitely be back!“

“Popped in for a quick latte while waiting for a friend — ended up chilling way longer than planned. Cozy downstairs, peaceful backyard, and super fresh coffee. Baha, the barista, was incredibly kind and made the whole place feel extra welcoming. A total gem in the Upper East Side. Saved and starred!“

“AMAZINGGGG BUBBLE TEA, CREPE, ROLLED ICE CREAM & MORE!!! WILL BE BACK FOR SURE“

“good food the most amazing jerk chicken and the best drinks“

“My first time coming here today and wow!! 10/10, this is one of the best and freshest smoothies I’ve ever had. It was so sweet even though it didn’t have any added sugar and the owners are so nice, I would definitely recommend especially if you live in the neighborhood!“

“I go to this place at least three times a week. I love Mae Mae. The service is wonderful and the food is delicious. The cherry on top is the affordable pricing! I cannot describe how joyful it is to eat food that leaves you full, but not feeling heavy, and not steep for your pockets. I recommend to everyone at work and now the internet! Please come by and enjoy :)“

“The egg toasts were delectable! Actually so happy my sister and I chose to come by. It has a tiny kick of spice which was a pleasant surprise. My sister got the vanilla flat white coffee and she loved it and finished it so quickly. The only thing I wasn't over the
moon for was the corndog. I got the mozarella hot dog corn dog and it was okay. I wouldn't get it again.

The space is small but offers some seating indoors and outdoors. I will definitely try to come again for the egg toast specifically.“

“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!“

“Gorgeous presentation. Got the limited cherry blossom x peach swirl. Ice cream itself is not too sweet but that parfait is 72 g of sugar all together.

Second visit: matcha and Ube ice cream on a waffle cone with sprinkled hojicha powder (available at the pickup counter). The cone is actually a lot of ice cream at once.“

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“Im mad it took me so long to come here despite being so close! I got an americano which was great, and the ex boyfriend sandwich which I loved!! So unique, simple, sweet, and exactly what I hoped it to be ! It was like satisfyingly crispy toasted bread. Really recommend!“

“I stopped by this little coffee shop on a whim, and wow, I’m so glad I did! The coffee and bagels were amazing and the owner is the nicest person ever. Super friendly and made me feel so welcome, like I’d been coming here forever. The place has such a cozy vibe, and the pastries. Don’t even get me started—so good! Definitely my new go-to spot. If you’re in the area, you HAVE to check it out!“

“best currants roll, canele, curry puff, cookies cakes alll soooo delicious. All freshly made. Vegan, vegetarian, organic, sugar-free, gluten-free and more! check her out in Ditmars Astoria“

“Had a great dinner at Emmons Palace! The steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, and the appetizers were just as impressive. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, and the service was spot-on. Definitely a spot I’d return to for a quality meal in Brooklyn.“

“Astounding sandwiches! The "Queen's Baby" is absolutely delicious - even though it's a bit pricey, it's a lot of food. The Havana panini is a classic Cuban that would fit in perfectly in Miami. The bakery items look absolutely amazing, and I would love to go back and try more of their menu! The only downside is the limited seating.“

“The cutest local café, poc women owned! Fresh baked goods (from brookies to ube bread pudding) & food (breakfast sandwich on Foccacia) they are all made with love. This is the family oriented local café you want to support! Absolutely delicious with friendly service. I discovered my love for Authentic Filipino food at their Lunar New Year Dinner event! They offer in café dinner events and indoor dining now! They also provide catering (saved me at Thanksgiving!) and meal prep services!“
