15 Best Cafes in Ridgewood

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

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

“Wow! An iced matcha latte that is over the top excellent. A sandwich that hit the spot at a 10 and bakery items - topped off the stop with a variety. Delicious cakes and a cherry pastry. Oh and remember the marzipan strips! Go now - do not pass go!“

“I come here often and the people are sweet, the food is good, but I genuinely cannot remember the last time they got my bagel order correct. I’m talking consistently wrong for the past few years. I’m beginning to think they are out to get me.. I almost double checked today, but I saw how clearly the order read, “NO EGG” (currently have major egg ick) and thought…, “you know what? Today they will get it right.”… as I walked home with the brown paper bag… something didn’t feel right.. it was too heavy…. When I opened it, sure enough, there was egg. My order was wrong again. Considering my coffee and bagel cost me $20 with an 18% tip, I’m slightly pissed off. Alas, I’ll be back, but next time I’m checking (I won’t).“

“Love this place!
So happy it’s just around the corner from me ☺️. The bartenders are amazing, Jessica is such a sweetheart and makes the absolute best drinks. The owner is super cool and really sets the tone for the great vibes here.
The cook always puts out delicious finger foods which are perfect for snacking while drinking. I especially love when they do karaoke nights and bring in live bands, it’s always a fun time. And when DJ Sound Nice plays there, he always has the place rocking with all types of music.

This spot is a total gem—great atmosphere, great people, and always a good time!“

“The lady there seemed a bit overwhelmed although there were less than 10 ppl in the place but fine. It's pretty much a self serve kind of place. Food was yummy, drinks were good too. Not a place I'd visit religiously but may go again.“

“I only got the cold brew straight black coffee. I do enjoy the atmosphere here. I live around the neighborhood and walked pass the Cafe numerous times. I always wanted to walk in and try it. I love the energy the staff members bring. It's not very big, but that's okay. It's a cozy spot for coffee or tea. I'm definitely coming back to try their tea!“

“Lovely spot, very friendly staff, coffee to die for yummy ;-) Perfect place to sit down and have a lovely lunch. Can't wait to get back in there.“

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

“Such a lovely spot, in an area where it’s hard to find a good sit down place - this cafe is perfect! Family owned, they know my order as soon as I walk in - their Biker Sandwich keeps me coming back! Would definitely recommend. Thank you!!“

“Place been here forever. My kids really wanted ice cream while I was passing by I saw they had Gelato in the window so my kids wanted to try it. I wasn't expecting much but it was extremely good. My son said that was the best vanilla he ever had and so flavorful. Now he asks for it everyday. Also reasonably priced. I was very impressed. I got the hazelnut and biscotto it was sooooo good.“

“This place is actually one of a kind and a gold mine for beer lovers. 100+ different beers from 50+ countries. The owner is so passionate about this too and it’s infectious. I’m now a regular. Currently have tried 23 of the 100 plus beers.“

“Best Cappuccino I’ve ever had in Ridgewood Queens. Great customer service and definitely an excellent Italian Café environment to relax and get a nice quick cup of coffee. The first time visit today this afternoon was amazingly peaceful. Coming back here again the vibes are incredibly positive/ recommended.“

“Good food and coffee and friendly staff👍👍👍👍👍“

“Lots of different spaces: outdoor seating, bar seating, indoor table seating, pool table. Always crowded, probably the best go-to bar in Ridgewood filled with an eclectic crowd of Eastern Europeans, Latinos, hipsters, families, and LGBTQ folks of all ages. Beer + pizza deal is awesome. Pizza and wings are delicious. Service is not charismatic but always professional and reliable.“
