50 Best Coffee Shops near Rockaway Beach

“Just the best Caramel Latte with Almond milk! ❤️🙏⚓️“

“My lovely space in neighborhood!
Always clean, good smell, coffee is perfect, matcha latte is awesome - unsweetened as I love. There is no space to seat after 10am usually. So it would be better to make a timing for using laptop there.“

“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“

“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!

“The staff here are always super friendly, no matter what time of day you stop by, which definitely adds to the experience. However, it is on the pricier side compared to other local coffee spots like Variety. I paid $18 for a bacon (Canadian ham), egg, and cheese on focaccia. It was tasty, but honestly, not quite worth the price. The space is very small and can be uncomfortable waiting for food/drinks when there is more than three people inside.“

“We’ve been coming for years and the Food here is always fresh and so good! Staff and service is always amazing!“

“My favorite place to get coffee and a cookie. Very low key and very cute! Pup friendly too. 💞“

“my first time here, the food was great and presentation of food is delightful. will definitely go back“

“Best Starbucks around Friendly clean well stocked Drinks and food“

“This is so close to my home and great for the neighborhood. The staff are great. I ordered a Mocha. It tasted great. Too strong a drink for so late in the day. Their baked goods look amazing. I didn't try any of those as of yet. I have only been there once but since I work from home, it's nice to have a place nearby to getaway from working and living out of my home.Thanks for opening up a nice cafe for us. Our neighborhood needs something nicer than Dunkin Donuts.“

“Great local spot. Plenty of seats and restrooms available. Many drinks on the menu and its good. However, they low on the food options. Wish they offered more than very limited baked option and puddings. Service is always great and everyone is nice. I love this place.“

“Wonderful staff, great vibes and delicious food all in a cozy and inviting space. Check it out!“

“Excellent little Cafe tucked away on a side street in Brooklyn. Run by two delightful sisters. Food was awesome and the Cappuccino. The Waffles I had were amazing with homemade batter. Definitely on my new spot of must stops in Bushwick.“

“Went last night with some friends ! It was the perfect spot… had some great appetizers and amazing drinks. I had the honey dragon margarita and it may have been one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. Highly recommend for a cute date night spot or girls night.“

“10/10 would chai tea again 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽“

“The vibe here is just right—cozy but not cramped, with a warm, inviting feel. The coffee is top-notch, brewed to perfection, and the pastries are fresh and delicious. Staff are friendly and attentive, making the whole experience seamless. It’s the kind of spot where you can unwind or get some work done without feeling rushed. Perfect for coffee lovers looking for a relaxed yet polished environ“

“came here for a double date! we were generously allocated a spacious table which we spent 2 hours of our evening yapping over wine and their house special espresso martini's. we ordered their charcuterie board, shrimp ceviche, cod, gazpacho and mushroom pasta which we enjoyed every single bite of!“

“I loved its atmosphere, all the elements that came together and the attention is delicate and sublime, it becomes a
little queue but the 3 minute wait is worth it, I could see people looking for coffee in the area and they didn't order, they came here and if it was worth ordering to be here with the music and the smell of good coffee makes you want to stay a while“

“Best local spot in Greenpoint / Williamsburg area! The owner and baristas are extremely friendly and the atmosphere has a local laid back feel to it. My personal favorite is the iced Rocket Fuel. The flavor is smooth and it really gives me a refreshing boost when I need some extra energy“

“Delicious and fun! I like this cozy spot so friendly and chill. Love the vibes and decor. Great drinks too

Kid-friendliness: They’re so friendly and welcoming w the kiddos which is always a huge plus esp when you’re trying to wind down with the kids for an afternoon treat! They also loved the doggies that were visiting!“

“Go Brooklyn! On my visit to NYC, I had a show in Brooklyn and stopped in for a quick bite at The Daily Press. The atmosphere was cool, small tables and counter service, board games and books lined the shelves. It felt like a the local hangout. The food was great. I had a chicken sandwich that was huge, would rather have had fries instead chips but the sandwich alone was enough.“

“What can I say? It’s the namesake. And it’s worthy of the name.

Café Saint-Michel serves some of the most interesting coffee drinks in the neighborhood—my favorite is the black sesame latte. Deep, mellow, a little mysterious. The pastries rotate seasonally, but the rhubarb custard danish with orange-laminated dough. No words. Buttery folds that melt into each other like silk in heat.

When I bite into the center, the true middle, it hits: thin flaky crust, thick custard, tart rhubarb exploding across tongue and cheek. It reminds me of the first month of falling for someone you’ll eventually love. That exact bite. Divine craving, new flavors, heady aromas. Intoxicating. Fleeting. There’s only ever one bite like that. The danish builds to it. My last relationship started there. One perfect mouthful, then it was all downhill, like heli-skiing a black diamond at Snowbird. Exhilarating. Dangerously consuming. Then gone in a rush of chilled air.

After the pastry, I usually sip my black sesame latte on the walk home. It’s mellow and wide. A gentle counterpoint to all that sweetness. It reminds me of what happens after love. When the sugar fades and you’re left with yourself again. Still standing. Still full, somehow. The calm expanse of a vista from solid ground.

Café Saint-Michel is like that. A place to touch base. A place to remember how to come back to yourself.“

“Best coffee in Flatbush! The espresso and the vibes are special here. Kent the owner will always welcome you with a smile and it’s a great place to grab freshly baked pastries, or empanadas. Perfect for a spot to a relax or bring your laptop to work.“

“It was a great spot to reunite with friend. Love the graphics on the wall and the atmosphere was very relaxing.“

“Those in the know won't worry to much about 5 leaves not being rated a 4.5 or higher, why you ask? Because it really doesn't matter when the ricotta pancakes are THAT FREAKING GOOD! Seriously every 3rd person orders those pancakes. They also have a great Mocha and black kale salad. If you're not in the mood for sweet fair try the moroccan scramble which is perfect for something light but filling. I got the BLAT on my first visit and it was also good. Now if you're there for dinner been warned the burger is quite filling but it will be worth it even if you gotta waddle home.“

“Love love love this service! I’ve been so disappointed with grocery stores for the past few years, even organic is tasteless or never reaches ripeness and with a baby, I do not have the time to go to farmers markets. I got my first order delivered today and I was so blown away by the quality and freshness of the produce. I could smell the strawberries almost from the next room, the nectarines were beautifully ripe and full of flavor. The cheese was delicious.

I can’t wait to try everything else I bought! This time was just a test order but I absolutely will be buying all of my produce and dairy from Farm to People from now on. And half of the money goes directly to the farmers?! Seriously, what’s not to love. Finally I can feed my family some REAL, good food.“

“The drinks and ambiance are awesome! The Nutella Latte is the absolute best!“

“Delightful place to stop for afternoon tea. Discovered their Blue Azul Tea and pistachio cream filled Yemini bread puff! Really delicious and comfortable well lit place to enjoy a bite in the neighborhood. If they expand their menu to include vegan sandwiches they will be perfect!“

“My usual order for breakfast is a Jessie’s Burrito (egg, beans, potatoes, Oaxaca cheese…I get turkey sausage but it originally comes with chorizo) and an almond milk Chai Tea Latte. Super tasty and the perfect amount of fuel for my morning!“

“Great addition to the neighborhood. Nice place to relax and enjoy.“

“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 :)“

“I love how creative they are with foodstuff . I love their coffee and the place in general“

“Потрясающее место!“

“It is a cozy little coffee shop but you will be amazed that their food and coffee are extraordinary. I ordered a strawberry and banana crepe as the friendly staff suggested. Wow! It is so so delicious with fresh strawberry and banana , it is not very sweet just right for breakfast. Latte is good .
There is only 3 seats inside , it would be better if the shop can put couple more chairs / bench for customers to sit down in a cold day. Anyway, I highly recommended this coffee shop especially if you are a crepe lover.😊“

“Ropa Vieja has definitely hit the spot, service is great but they need to invest in new speakers for the music it's so loud coming from the corner, but if speakers were spread out along the perimeter the great music could be played without giving you a migraine when you leave.
Otherwise all else is great the food and staff!👍“

“The restaurant is very cozy and stylish.
I had breakfast at Mouette and really enjoyed it! I ordered the avocado toast and a latte — both were absolutely delicious. The food was prepared very quickly, and the service was fast, friendly, and attentive. A great spot for a tasty and pleasant breakfast. I’ll definitely be back!“

“El café delicioso,un excelente ambiente“

“Faves: cafe colada, croffles, vibes.

This place caught my eye on my way into Brooklyn and I had to make a stop before I left. It’s a tiny spot, but there are good seating options, the staff was friendly and the drinks/croffles were delicious. Loved the ceramic art around as well.“

“Did know what to expect but everything was absolutely delicious. I got the Baba Bowl and added avocado and the apple bottom drink was yummy!“

“Kingstown Cafe is so wonderful— this is a spot that I would go out of my way for because it is so special! The shop is so creatively and intentionally curated— very inviting and inspiring to be around. The coffee and pasties are really yummy and the folks that work here are kind. Also, the thought and consideration that has gone into creating community-centered events highlighting local artists, creatives, and wellness practitioners is incredible!!! The energy of this space is felt deeply and I am grateful for it :-)“

“Excellent family friendly cafe 🍵Recommend the chai masala, lavender donut and rose elixir matcha! Follow @maria.angelspear for more cafe gems ☕️🎀✨“

“One of the best places to get a bite to eat and get a coffee! They have açaí bowls, Korean corn dogs, and more! Such an amazing place and did I mention it’s KOSHER!!!!“

“It’s the best coffee place on Long Island. The food and service is excellent and Nico’s monthly open mic is a fantastic event for both customers and musicians.“

“Great vibe - good options and they do my pancakes special for me so ya gotta love that!!!“

“Very cultural! Great comedy and jazz are going on here!“

“Best golden milk latte EVER made so much more fab by the multiple non dairy options that are way above and beyond the usual coffee shop choices… mine (with Mac-nut Mylk) was SO good I returned for a second order as soon as the first was gone! ✨🌠💫🌟

And some pretty terrific vegan bagels with vegan toppings and vegan cream cheeses. A smorgasbord“

“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.“

“An exceptional choice for coffee, drinkers local to this establishment I strongly suggest you pay them a visit and try their different varieties of cultivating coffee, brewed fresh and delicious foods available during their normal operating hours. The place is above par highly recommended on all platforms“

“Orso serves the Best coffee in Brooklyn and has great staff. Not to Mention they are the cleanest In all Of sheepshead bay and probably Brooklyn.“
