Cafes near Richmond Hill

“my husband and I came here for breakfast and we found the prices to be relatively cheap and the food was very good. I recommend the cheeseburger. It has a really great authentic taste and like nothing I’ve ever had before this statement will pass five guys and Shake shack etc. These people know what they’re doing!“

“Really nice spot , hole in the wall, Great place to get good breakfast, coffee , muffins, friendly bilingual staff, made to order, affordable prices, variety of food and drinks, nice little diner.

Parking: It's in an industrial area with very diverse customers, This place has everything you need to eat in or take out

Kid-friendliness: Kids can eat in, very friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Just pick up the wheel chair and walk yourself in🥴🤔“

“I really like this place. I usually order a bagel and then a sweet treat of some kind. Both are usually fresh and yummy. Also the coffee is pretty good. They definitely need a second person behind the counter for the morning rush. I've definitely seen people get frustrated and walk out because they cannot wait any longer. The amount of money they'd gain by paying an employee to fulfill orders while the other manages taking the orders and running the register would be worth it for them.

Summary: good spot, be prepared to wait a little bit longer than you might elsewhere.“

“Lovely place , Nice people , really good cakes. THANK YOuu (with french accens 😉)“

“Stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon and ended up enjoying one of the most comforting meals I’ve had in a while. The tortilla soup completely stole the show — rich, flavorful, perfectly thick, and packed with crispy blue corn tortilla pieces in every bite. Honestly wished they had a bigger bowl because it disappeared fast.

Tried the bean & epazote tetelas on the side and they paired so well with the soup. Also shared the black bean avocado tlayudita and chilaquiles — both fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor. The chilaquiles do get a bit pricey once you add the extras, but the taste made it worth it for us.

Came around 2 PM on a Sunday and still found outdoor seating easily, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and unhurried. Great food, warm atmosphere, and one of those places you leave already thinking about coming back to.“

“best truffle fries and yummy sauces for the burgers. Great people i will come back to this place with more friends“

“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!“

“Le Café Louis Vuitton was the perfect way to close out my wedding weekend. I got married on Saturday, and the only reservation I could secure was Sunday dinner for two—so I celebrated with my sister, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a more memorable experience. Hopefully I’ll be back with the hubby soon!

We did the Culinary Journey menu, which started with a beautiful amuse-bouche: a warm soup served with the LV monogram. It was delicious, comforting, and surprisingly homey. It was such an inviting way to begin the meal. Drinks were ok—we got the lychee highball and passion twist.

Our server recommended the ravioli, and I’m so glad we listened. The mushroom and truffle flavors were bold and earthy in the best way (exactly how I like them), making it a standout course. The ceviche was more of a refreshing palate cleanser—light, bright, and tasty.

For mains, both the chicken and filet mignon were great. The chicken had an incredible sauce and perfectly crispy skin. The filet mignon was absolutely delicious and cooked beautifully, tender and flavorful throughout.

The complimentary sides truly stole the show. I would order the broccolini with its subtle hint of heat and the mashed potatoes again and again—they were SO good and easily some of the best parts of the meal.

Dessert was indulgent. The chocolate entremet was rich but not overly sweet, while the hazelnut entremet tasted just like a Ferrero Rocher—decadent, nostalgic, and satisfying.

To make the night even more special, we were surprised with complimentary chocolates and a small vanilla treat in celebration of my wedding, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch.

From the food to the service, everything felt intentional and celebratory. Le Café LV delivered not just an exceptional meal, but a genuinely joyful experience—one I’ll always associate with a very special moment in my life. 💍✨

03/13/26 Update: Returned for dinner and had another 10/10 experience! The service is incredibly consistent and just as attentive as the first time.

We did the Culinary Journey again—Crab Louis, Black Bass, and the Chocolate Monogram to finish. The amuse-bouche and sides were once again a hit and really set the tone for the meal.

For drinks, the Capucine Twist was excellent and I’d definitely recommend it over the Highball.

Always a great experience here. Can’t wait to try breakfast/afternoon tea!“

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

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

“Great coffee, great atmosphere and great service. The barista was very friendly and authentic. They had everything I love in a coffee shop; computer charging areas, all different types of coffee from espresso to drip to cold brew. Cold brew was smooth and flavorful. She talked me into the croissant and it was worth it! She’s say it’s baked fresh and it tasted like it. Thanks for the great experience.“

“Absolutely loved this café! The ambience is warm, cozy, and beautifully designed with elegant lighting, greenery, and a very relaxing vibe. Had brunch and coffee here, and everything was fresh, delicious, and perfectly made. The atmosphere feels calm yet lively — the kind of place where you can sit for hours and enjoy good conversations.

The aesthetic interior, soft lighting, and overall good vibes make this café feel extra special. The staff were welcoming, and the whole experience felt comforting and peaceful. Definitely one of those hidden gems you’ll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommend for brunch, coffee dates.

Top notch Potato Achar on the side it totally gives Nepali vibes“

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

“Extremely recommended! The best chilaquiles in NYC! The food is clearly made with love, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere captures the best city vibes. The owners and staff are incredibly warm and welcoming. We come here for breakfast almost every weekend, and they always treat us like family. It's one of those special places that keeps us coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Great food and customer service. Try their breakfast sandwiches. The brioche is amazing!“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“Exceptional Hidden Gem!!!!!!

Waffles N Sip Cafe is an absolute hidden gem! The Belgian waffles were perfectly fluffy, fresh, and delicious. Their specialty lattes are truly unique and full of flavor—the Lotus Latte is an absolute must-try and was one of the best specialty coffee drinks I’ve had.

The atmosphere is welcoming, the food is delectable, and the service was wonderful. If you’re looking for a great brunch spot with amazing waffles and creative coffee selections, I highly recommend Waffles N Sip Cafe.

Thank you for such a fantastic experience. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Really cool mix of coffee shop and chinatown pork buns and other chinese style pastries

I got the cream tart and the pork bun. Both were really good.

Only downside is the entire place was full of people sitting with their laptops so wasnt able to sit anywhere inside.“

“I decided to try a new coffee spot today and walked into Tenpa’s. I ordered a 16oz iced latte with almond milk and raspberry flavoring. I should’ve taken a picture before I mixed it all up because it was pretty and layered. The raspberry flavoring isn’t very strong, but the quality of the coffee is REALLY good. You can tell it’s good just by the color of it, that perfect toasty brown. Not too milky :)
These guys are fast and efficient! Don’t be worried about a line because it’s moving FAST. The employees are nice and pleasant and everyone’s smiling. There’s definitely regulars that go in because the person making the drinks was calling out their orders before they even ordered them lol the pastries looked delicious so I’ll be ordering one next time I go in. There’s some nice seating and looks like people enjoy going in there to work. I was in and out of there in less than 5min. Looking forward to another visit :)“

“Great service, delicious iced coffee and matcha latte!“

“Awesome little spot, would highly recommend. Literally tasted like it was home cooking. The everything bagel with lox was great, but the chicken with rice and beans was my favorite. Chicken was fall off the bone tender and melted in my mouth, with a kick of flavor from house-made salsa verde and some heat for good measure. I was also surprised that such a small place had amazing coffee as well. I only wish I had a bigger appetite that day so I could have had the ruben sandwich! Looking forward to coming again. Yaseen is an amazing owner!“

“The best in the neighborhood!“

“Excellent food and lovely people!!! Recommended 100%“

“This place is amazing! Their soft serve is so creamy, smooth and tasty! Made it into an affogato and it was 🧑🏻‍🍳💋. The staff here are also so friendly, highly recommend! Wish I lived closer so I could get it more often, but definitely a spot I’d go out of my way to go to with friends 🥰“

“The service is wonderful! At the same time, the atmosphere inside and outside the store while enjoying your coffee or crepe is relaxing. A great getaway from our daily routine.“

“Such a cute unique and cozy vibe! I fell in love with the dalgona milk bingsoo. It’s the best bingsoo I’ve had in NYC and outside of Korea and that’s saying a lot! Very unique and complex taste that I wasn’t expecting.“

“We ate everything so fast that we forgot to take pictures, but here is half of our Juice. I ordered the avocado toast with egg and cheese and to say that sounds like OK yeah whatever, however, at the proprietors recommendation, I got that and so began my ascent into culinary Shangri-La! I also ordered the Indian scrambled eggs and had her add a little curry to it as well, and I say this next thing as a lifelong breakfast chef:
These were the best scrambled eggs I have ever put in my face! I could have continued to eat them until I was in pain and then I would still be sad to stop! However, the portion was perfect for me and my ever grazing fiancé! We also got two of the fresh juices, the anti-inflammatory and the veggie lovers and these were also next level delicious very large and everything was completely reasonably priced. I want to try out as many places as I can while I’m in New York briefly, but we’re gonna eat breakfast here again tomorrow! This is just too good!“

“Absolutely incredible space. Came for Nickelodeon night and it was amazing to watch the entire bar recite lines, sing intro songs, and laugh together. Never seen a crowd come together so seamlessly on a regular Wednesday night. Brandon & Shay do such a good job of bringing warmth and make the space welcoming from the moment you step in. Definitely going to be a go to going forward“

“Small, insanely pretty spot. Really good coffee. Popular, but still quiet.

There was only a raised counter with no barstools and a bench with no table, so it’s not a place to study or get work done, but it’s an excellent spot to stop and chat with friends, or take a quiet moment for yourself. It connects to a pretty little home goods shop, and I enjoyed wandering through there as I waited for my coffee.“

“This restaurant was amazing! The person working there was very kind and answered my questions in a way I understood. I got my latte. It was made in a quick fashion. There were nice, clean tables to sit in to enjoy my latte. I highly recommend this location“

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

“Padmores is hands down my favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood. The staff are genuinely some of the nicest people you’ll meet. Not fake nice — real, warm, remember-your-order type of nice. They’re attentive without hovering, and every drink is made fresh from scratch and always hits. The menu is just right — no fluff, just solid options.

I love the different seating setups too — cozy bench vibes, round tables for catching up, long shared tables when I need to cowork. There’s always a spot that fits my mood.

And the music? That’s my favorite part. As a Bed-Stuy native, it’s easy to feel out of place in a neighborhood you grew up in because of how much gentrification has changed things. But Padmores blends old and new Brooklyn so well. On certain days they’re playing real throwback Hip-Hop, R&B, and Soul — the classics. It feels familiar. It feels like home. I really hope they never lose that vibe. There are plenty of cafés around here, but I’ll choose Padmores every time.“

“The food was absolutely delicious, and the overall experience was amazing. The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the atmosphere even more enjoyable. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We’re so glad we didn’t miss the chance to visit this café. If you're in the area, be sure to stop by and try everything—you won't be disappointed!“

“Espresso drinks > drip coffee. As good as it gets in the area - minus the specialty places with third wave beans.

Great breakfast sandwiches — always piping hot, straight off the grill. Highly recommend - this is a local favorite for a reason.“

“The atmosphere is modern, yet cozy and comfortable. The fresh pasta and imported foods are excellent. Can’t wait to try a homemade cannoli!“

“My experience with Daniel was exceptional. He was very quick and attentive. Very friendly and we had a great conversation 🙂. He is a great barista but even better employee. He seems to love the business and the job itself. Thank you for the amazing biscoff latte.“

“enjoyed my Sunday morning with relishing brunch!“

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

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“It’s more of a desert shop. Very tasty. The atmosphere is great too and very clean. The only down fall to the restaurant is the staff. Not welcoming at all and don’t greet you. I’m from out of country and I love to experience new places and I like to go back to restaurants that are friendly and warm, however, I won’t return here because of the staff lack of hospitality.“

“Cafe con Libros is a wonderfully appointed bookstore with a purpose! With an extensive selection of authors, this is a place for book, justice, and freedom lovers! As a Panamanian immigrant, I’m proud that this book store is a space created for knowledge, community, safety, and possibilities! Asé 🫶🏾.“

“They operate out of a renovated RV with only outdoor seating from my observation. It's definitely a unique little spot, but don't expect too much. I enjoyed my coffee, and the service was awesome about informing me on vegan latte options!“

“Madam Bonte is a hidden gem! The coffee is my favorite in the city (and they make their own oatmilk)! The atmosphere is calm and serene- upstairs is great for doing work and downstairs is huge has a beautiful little garden. The food is delicious! Highly recommend - is my favorite nyc coffee shop!“

“Comfortable place to catch a breakfast bite, plus they serve beer & cocktails“

“Small lovely cafe in Brooklyn. Went there for brunch. Service was really good. Food had fresh ingredients and was very well prepared. Coffee was OK though they offered a nice hibiscus drink. The only issue is there are only few tables and it’s not very convenient for 4 person party like us. Still would go there again“

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“I love this place. I have gotten the bread pudding, and the stuffed eggplant, both are delicious. The young girl working was also so sweet. I highly recommend. The only thing is that I wish they were open later, but I’m glad we made it in time.

I highly recommend this Greek gem. Thank you.“

“The Karaage lunch box is so good. I’ve had it at least 10 times. It’s so consistent, it’s actually impressive. The food overall is great and the fried chicken tastes better than a lot of Karaage you’d eat in Japan.“

“★★★★★

My usual weekend cafecito spot. The team is always attentive, kind, and genuinely some of the sweetest folks in the neighborhood.

I usually get the espresso or the chai, both consistently excellent. They also offer oat milk, which is great for those of us who are lactose intolerant.

Great desserts, fresh croissants, and a wide range of drinks. One of my go-to neighborhood gems.“
