50 Best Coffee Shops near Rockaway Beach

“Great coffee and food, laid back atmosphere, friendly staff. Recommended.“

“Favorite coffee shop in NYC - it would be so nice if they opened a couple more spots around the city

I've been going here at least weekly for over a year now and only had good experiences. I only wish they stopped taking orders over the previous customer's shoulder - ie having to place the order while the person before is finishing payment. I don't mind the extra 10 secs of wait time, and in any case when it's a little busier, placing orders is not really the bottleneck.“

“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“

“Was bummed they didn’t have their honey cinnamon latte so I opted to get their mandarin latte instead which was amazing! Service was a bit slow as it was quite busy on a Thursday morning. Would definitely recommend trying their specialty drinks!“

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

“I had a very warm welcome and great coffee! It was the perfect pit stop to gather my energy in the middle of a long and tiring trip. The seats by the window are perfect for sitting and enjoying the cozy vibes. I was so happy to find gluten free biscuits with a yummy jam!!

“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 Place to meet up at w/ friends! Highly Recommend“

“Excellent coffee, matcha, tea, and treats!
Their standard menu is excellent but their ever-changing seasonal menu is next level. Check out their Instagram for the latest. Past seasonal drinks from memory: the sweet corn einspanner (crossing fingers for a fall return!), the marshmallow dream cream (yum!), blueberry matcha latte, and most recently the apricot cardamom espresso tonic. All delicious and unique. I also really appreciate that they have non-caffeine options for kids and adults alike - even the decaf espresso is great. You'll also want to save room for their treats and...If you're still reading this, just go already.“

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

“Just ordered on Grubhub for the first time. We just got food, and the bagel was great. Not as big as a typical bagel shop bagel, but good size and decent amount of cream cheese (I don’t like too much.) my boyfriend enjoyed his grilled cheese and muffin as well.“

“Best cafe I’ve been to in New York to be honest. Love the owners sooo much they are so kind, creative and welcoming. A really cute spot to have a drink and snack and get work done or relax and unwind. Also love the vibe of the shop with all the old movies that used to be my faves. Anyways don’t skip on visiting while you’re out here!!“

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

“Never been disappointed with anything I’ve gotten here. Highly recommend the Veggie Panino (haven’t seen it in a few weeks, tho 🥺 lol), Steak Fajita Wrap, Tacos Flautas (special), rice balls, & croissant w/ chocolate hazelnut spread. I’ve had other options and enjoyed them, but these are my top faves so far.“

“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.“

“Yes, they've redefined coffee for us all. But that's not all... Their chocolate chip cookies are out of this world! Not kidding, I would go to them even if all they sold were those cookies. Plus, the owner/workers there are so nice and friendly ?“

“Sadly it’s within a big area with a lot of rushing people , no seating but if it wasn’t it would have been a great Tims ! They are always very kind and friendly & quick . I haven’t had a issue with any coffee or food I’ve ordered & I’ve been coming here for 2 years.

Kid-friendliness: Great for kids“

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

“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 love cypress cafe. i’m always here to study and have some coffee. the coffee is AMAZING here and i’m a tough coffee critic so take my word!! it’s a very friendly environment here and the baristas are so sweet and well mannered. love it here!“

“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!“

“I love this place!!! I come here to get my work done on my laptop and I love the fact that they have cozy couches & armchairs besides regular chairs for long term sitting (They have Wi-Fi). So cozy, comfortable and inviting. The staff is super friendly and they make good drinks! (I love their Chai Latte and Iced/Hot Peach Coconut Matcha Latte). They have really chill music too (indie rock/60s rock/Radiohead etc.). They also have live music events with performers and bands on certain days, where the locals join in and show support. They have a selection of food as well (BLT, Avocado Toast, Muffins, Cookies, Scones and more). Overall, great service, good food & drinks and very nice atmosphere!!“

“My favorite local neighborhood coffee shop.

☑️Soulful sounds ? whenever I walk into the spot.
☑️Very clean ?
☑️Coffee is always quality ☕️
☑️And the pastries/food (specifically the banana bread and empanadas!) are so yummy!

Much love to Prime Grind!“

“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.😊“

“Amazing atmosphere. Went with family of 5 to celebrate small birthday. It was our first time. We were immediately greeted by a friendly waiter, both waiters were very nice and polite. Our waiter explained the foods and drinks for us. The food and drinks were delicious, all of us were highly satisfied. Overall this place is a hidden gem. Can’t wait to go back for breakfast time.“

“Best Cubano in the city. The croquetas are good and the bacaloaitos are really good too. I like it there. The owner is a great guy too.

Vegetarian options: Ask for what you want. They'll accommodate as best they are able“

“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.“

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

“We hosted our wedding at FTP two weeks and had a more wonderful time we could’ve ever imagined. The day truly exceeded our expectations. From the get go the event manager Rachel was a dream to work with. She is creative, organized, encouraging and realistic. Exactly the kind of person you want to be working with when planning a large and complicated event. We had an Indian American fusion wedding and she allowed us incorporate all the elements that were most important to us. Even as we threw twists and turns at her she took it in stride (for example we wanted to serve chai which isn’t typically on their menu, but instead of just telling us no like so many other venues/caterers would’ve, we found a creative solution that worked for all of us and were able to serve it). We created a custom menu with them that was all vegetarian and my goodness, it was genuinely incredible. On top of the custom menu, they worked with us to provide two different sets of custom dishes served out to a handful of guests with very specific dietary restrictions (one was gf/celiac safe, the other was for a traditional Jain diet). We have been getting endless compliments on how good all of the food was. It made life so much easier being able to work with a venue that could provide the space, the food, the bar package, the staff, the flowers, and even the tables and chairs (though you are also welcome to bring in your own if you prefer). They encourage you to decorate the space however you want but the venue is so inviting and beautiful that it hardly needs additional decor. Not only was Rachel a dream to work with but all the staff that worked our wedding were fantastic. We’ve heard from many guests that the warm and inviting nature of all the staff, and especially the bartenders, went a long way in helping create a wonderful atmosphere. Couldn’t recommend this venue more highly!!“

“I periodically grab a cappuccino or chai from here, as well as a pastry. Baristas are always super nice, and the coffee/tea is always good! They have an exterior window and dog treats—great for dog walkers. Interior is very cute and comfortable. Love the floating chair!“

“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!“

“10/10 would chai tea again 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽“

“Very easily could have had the best matcha of my life here, perfectly balanced. The chicken shawarma wrap was very good and satisfying and egg sandwich didn’t disappoint either. Overall Greenpoint is lucky to have a cafe that has such great quality. The cafe itself is quite small but there is some outdoor seating (for now). I will absolutely plan to make it back here in the future.
(UPDATED) - We went back to Greta and yet again the food and the drinks were of a high quality, how lucky you would be to live close to this place.“

“This place is so great! I have been coming back every morning for matcha, because it is definitely the best one I have ever tried, it is just consistently great. The selection of baked goods and bagels is delicious, i have tried the caprese one and it was perfect! Great pricing, ambiance, warm and welcoming service!“

“Such a cute cozy find! Love to support local! Come check it out!“

“What started as a random find has turned into our go-to spot. I'm Turkish and super picky about my home cuisine, but Okka's Turkish coffee, gözleme, baklava, and simit transport me straight back to Turkey.

Onur and the staff are wonderful and always greet us with a smile. They have a small, but cute outdoor seating area too -- we have fond memories from the past summer of sitting there in the sun on a beautiful day and drinking great coffee.

Definitely worth checking out if you're craving good coffee or authentic Turkish treats!“

“While I’ve been here a couple of times and the quality has always been good, my recent visit didn’t meet those same standards. The milk was left in the fridge too long, making it stale, and the coffee wasn’t as fresh as it usually is. Since I take my coffee dates seriously, I have to deduct one star for the inconsistency in quality this time.

I’ll give it another try in the future to see if the experience improves.“

“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.“

“This cafe is fabulous! Delicious coffee and baked goods, friendly staff, everything you need! The owners are wonderful. I'm in here about five times per week, I love this place!“

“El café delicioso,un excelente ambiente“

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

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

“very nice place .enjoy the testy breakfast“

“I went here with my daughter this morning before she went to summer camp and was greeted with so much warmness & kindness and the breakfast sandwich was delicious!! Definitely, will be back again!“

“Different, welcoming and quaint.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“
