16 Best Cafes in Ridgewood

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

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

“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!“

“A classic NYC establishment with gluten-free options! Chef Cristina answered all of our questions about their protocols for gluten-free pastries. They keep them on the top shelf and/or separate from the other pastries and they are made at different times with sanitized equipment. Of course it is a shared kitchen, so keep that in mind in terms of cross contact. Everything we tried was delicious! My favorites that day were the espresso cheesecake, the red velvet cheesecake cup and the flourless chocolate cake. We will absolutely be back!“

“Just finished experiencing the most amazing afternoon at Cozy Corner with a group of friends and their kiddos. Food was perfect and drinks were on point. Happy to give this family friendly venue in the hood all my money haha! Thank you Cozy Corner!“

“This isn't the first time I've bought coffee here. I really like the atmosphere and the service; I’m especially impressed by the lovely young woman at the register—her name is Sofia. Thank you very much. I will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Relax Lounge is my favorite restaurant in the area, the atmosphere is very inviting. The owners are very nice and they make you feel like family. Delicious food and drinks 🍹 We order Bolognese pasta, it was al dente just as i wanted, fresh and it tasted really good 😊 Definitely will come back !“

“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.“
